Sheng Lengshuang's eyes flickered slightly, and she said unhurriedly, "Then why didn't you kill me early on, but let me grow up in Shilipo Village?"
Zhou Wenxing regretted it immensely upon hearing this. "At that time, I wanted to make Sheng Tianchun suffer. I wanted Sheng Tianchun to know only when he was dying that the daughter he had raised and doted on for decades was not his biological child, and that his biological daughter had suffered and died, and he couldn't even see his biological daughter one last time."
Now Sheng Lengshuang understood, her eyes sharp. Zhou Wenxing, this scumbag, had swapped her with the Tao family for his own selfish reasons, causing her to suffer immensely, and then planned to provoke her father when he was in trouble.
What could be more painful than discovering that the daughter you had raised for many years was not your biological child, and that your biological daughter had suffered and died?
"Then why did you let Tao Li poison my parents?"
Zhou Wenxing naturally saw that Sheng Lengshuang was stalling for time. He sneered indifferently, "I wanted Qi Shi to fake her death, so she could completely escape Sheng Tianchun's control."
Speaking of this, he pointed angrily at Sheng Lengshuang, "It was you, it was you, it was you who ruined my plans time and time again, and changed so much, escaping my control."
Sheng Lengshuang curled her lips into a cold smile, "It's me, it's me, it's the Sheng Lengshuang you hate the most."
She almost couldn't help but sing.
Zhou Wenxing's whole body ached with hatred. He suddenly smiled, "It doesn't matter, you'll be dead soon. Qi Shi will be very happy to see your corpse."
"Are you sure?" As Sheng Lengshuang said this, she saw Zhou Wenxing and the others fall to the ground one after another. She tutted, "Zhou Wenxing, I have something to tell you. Never underestimate a doctor who is particularly skilled at using poison."
To prevent all sorts of situations, she had prepared several types of poisons and powders, which could incapacitate even those immune to all poisons, let alone Zhou Wenxing and the others.
Zhou Wenxing lay on the ground, his body weak, and roared in disbelief, "How is this possible? This is impossible! Any powder or poison should be useless against me!"
Sheng Lengshuang didn't want to explain. She directly asked her hidden guards to arrest Zhou Wenxing.
However, just as the hidden guards were about to act, dozens of masked men suddenly appeared and rushed towards Sheng Lengshuang.
"You've finally shown yourselves!"
Sheng Lengshuang was extremely calm. She raised her hand and threw a handful of powder, not letting her hidden guards act. "This is my first gift to you."
She saw these masked men rapidly retreat upon encountering the powder, and smiled faintly, "This powder is not useful just by avoiding it."
"Doesn't Miss Sheng want to think about her family?" a masked man said, threateningly.
Sheng Lengshuang's eyes changed, and she clenched the powder in her hand tightly. "If you could really threaten me with my family, would you still be blabbering here?"
Before her words fell, she saw this masked man killed with a single sword stroke. "Mo Lingxi!"
Mo Lingxi leaped in front of her and carefully examined her from head to toe. "Are you injured?"
Upon seeing Mo Lingxi, Sheng Lengshuang felt a bit more at ease. She shook her head, indicating she was not injured. "Why are you here?"
Mo Lingxi explained, "I learned you were coming to Hehua Town, so I came to check the situation, worried you might encounter trouble."
Sheng Lengshuang's heart warmed, but there was more bitterness. "You really guessed right, I've encountered trouble."
Catching sight of the assassins attacking out of the corner of her eye, her expression changed. "Be careful!"
A cold glint appeared in the corner of Mo Lingxi's eyes. Before he could make a move, he and Sheng Lengshuang saw Tao Li appear with gunpowder and a fire starter.
The assassins all retreated to the side, surrounding Sheng Lengshuang and Mo Lingxi.
Seeing Tao Li's frenzied appearance, Sheng Lengshuang knew the situation was dire. "Tao Li!"
Tao Li, with a look of "You will all accompany me to hell," laughed maniacally and said, "Sheng Lengshuang, and you, you, you, all of you die, all of you die, all of you die!"
"What I can't have, no one else will get!"
Sheng Lengshuang was protected behind Mo Lingxi. She could see that Tao Li was truly determined to blow everyone up, her eyes changing repeatedly. "Tao Li, if you really blow yourself up, you won't be able to enjoy a good life, and no one will collect your corpse."
"I don't need it!" Tao Li brought the fire starter closer to the fuse. "Sheng Lengshuang, aren't you very smug? Now I order you to kneel down, or I'll light it!"
Sheng Lengshuang crossed her arms and looked at her coolly, her gaze like she was looking at an idiot. "Light it if you dare. Anyway, with so many people to die with me, I'm not at a loss."
She noticed Tao Li's hand tremble slightly and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Your hand must not tremble. If it trembles, it will ignite, and then 'boom,' we'll all be finished." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Seeing Tao Li's hand tremble a few more times, she suddenly moved the fire starter away from the gunpowder, and Sheng Lengshuang knew Tao Li wasn't truly determined to die. "Hurry up, I'm getting impatient."
"Oh dear, once this explodes, those closest will be blown into countless pieces. The most terrifying thing is that you will feel the pain of being blown into countless pieces, and you won't die immediately. I wonder if you can withstand this pain."
Tao Li shivered, the fire starter in her hand fell to the ground, and she frantically threw all the gunpowder away, keeping a safe distance.
"I don't want to! I don't want to be blown up!"
Just as Sheng Lengshuang was about to provoke her further, she saw a masked man pick up the gunpowder and fire starter. She immediately exchanged a glance with Mo Lingxi.
"Prince Mingrui, Miss Sheng, I believe neither of you wishes to be blown to death, right?" the masked man's voice was devoid of emotion.
Sheng Lengshuang and Mo Lingxi knew very well that this masked man was serious. Unlike Tao Li, this person would truly blow them up with gunpowder.
"What are your conditions?" Sheng Lengshuang asked.
The masked man made a gesture of invitation. "Our master wishes to invite Miss Sheng to be a guest for a few days, only Miss Sheng. If there is one more person, or if anyone is following in secret, the consequences... I believe you both understand."
Sheng Lengshuang held back Mo Lingxi, got out of the carriage, and tidied her clothes. "I'll go with you."
"Wife!" Mo Lingxi grabbed her, shaking his head in disapproval.
Sheng Lengshuang pulled his hand away, took a deep breath, and said, "I'll be fine. Please take care of my mother and Xiao Feng, and don't let them worry."
Mo Lingxi still disagreed. He knew how dangerous it was and wanted to break through with Sheng Lengshuang.
Sheng Lengshuang stopped him because she saw the masked man about to ignite the gunpowder. She said to Mo Lingxi, "I won't let anything happen to me."
Saying this, she walked forward with her head held high and chest out, her hand in her sleeve tightening slightly.
"Wife..."
At this moment, Mo Lingxi hated his own powerlessness.
