"You've done so many wicked things, framing Xiao Man again and again. Did you think you could hide behind the scenes forever? One day, everything you've done will be brought to light!" For a moment, Wen Moyu was enlightened. "The one who poisoned Xiao Man with Fire Charm Toxin and ruined her chastity… it was you!"
Cen Yu's lips curved slightly. "I didn't expect you to become so clever at the very end, when you're about to die."
Wen Moyu's heart was shaken. It was true that Xiao Man's chastity had been ruined, and the perpetrator was Cen Yu! Cen Yu had always been good at deception, and her brother trusted him. If he had intended to harm her brother, her brother would surely not have escaped.
What should she do? She had to warn her brother. But he was already on his way to Wuyue Kingdom. How could she remind him to be wary of Cen Yu?
"Brother will never forgive you. He killed me for plotting against Xiao Man. If he knew you had done so much to hurt Xiao Man, he would kill you without hesitation!"
Wen Moyu gasped for air, her throat wheezing and leaking wind, as if she could barely breathe.
"I did nothing from beginning to end," Cen Yu said, extending his hand and looking at his slender, fair, and handsome palm. "The one who poisoned Xiao Man and ruined her chastity was from the General's mansion. The one who injured Xiao Man's eyes was you. The one who abducted Chu Qingge was also you. The one who colluded with Yun Qi to try and kill her was also you. From beginning to end, I did nothing."
"But it was all orchestrated by you behind the scenes! You sold the Fire Charm Toxin to the General's mansion. The poison that injured Xiao Man's eyes was given to me by you. You also bribed the matchmaker from the Chu family, allowing me to successfully abduct Chu Qingge. You also repeatedly hired assassins to kill Xiao Man in secret. One day, brother will see through your hypocritical facade!"
Tears streamed down Wen Moyu's face. She had been played by a man, used as his tool to harm her own family and her brother's beloved. In the end, she had become the culprit, while the true murderer walked free!
"You are mistaken. One day, Mo Han will see that Xiao Man is just a promiscuous woman. He will realize that, from beginning to end, the only one who has always been by his side is me."
Xiao Man… right, and Xiao Man. Xiao Man always sought revenge. Cen Yu had done so many things to hurt her. With Xiao Man's meticulous and delicate mind, she would surely discover Cen Yu's sinister intentions!
"You are mistaken. Brother only loves Xiao Man, and will never love you!"
Cen Yu stood up and stepped on Wen Moyu's face. "Don't provoke me, or you will die a more painful death."
"Haha, it's just a worthless life. I only regret realizing the truth too late!" Wen Moyu glared at Cen Yu with hatred. "You will get your comeuppance! My brother will definitely end up with Xiao Man. They will live a happy life together forever, and you will never have a chance to intervene… Ah!"
Cen Yu forcefully ground his heel on Wen Moyu's face. "It's impossible for them. Xiao Man has already lost her virginity to the Prince of Qin. Given the Prince of Qin's temperament, how could he hand over his woman so easily? Moreover, I have already sent someone to spread the news of Xiao Man's peril in Wuyue Kingdom to the Prince of Qin. Mo Han rushing there will only be to witness how good their relationship is, how loving they are, and to suffer another blow."
"You… you are so venomous!"
"I am doing this for Mo Han's own good," Cen Yu said with a smile. "The more he is hurt, the more despair he will feel. When he despairs, he will give up, and in the end, he will still be mine."
"I have to tell brother that it was you, always you, who has been secretly plotting against Xiao Man…" Wen Moyu struggled, trying to crawl out, wanting to tell Wen Mohan the whole truth. However, Wen Mohan had already left the city and was on his way to Wuyue Kingdom.
Cen Yu moved his foot away and looked at Wen Moyu's pathetic attempt to crawl out, a mocking smirk on his lips. "Mo Han doesn't believe you at all. He wishes he could carve you into a thousand pieces, otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to poison you with such a heart-wrenching poison."
"I know he won't believe me. If it involves Xiao Man, brother will become more vigilant. Once he becomes suspicious, he will go to great lengths to uncover the truth, and then your fox tail will be exposed!" Wen Moyu said excitedly. Her brother only hated her for repeatedly hurting his feelings and causing him so much pain, which was why he treated her this way. But she had also been used, which was why she acted like this. Brother, I was wrong. Can you forgive me?
Cen Yu walked slowly and squatted beside Wen Moyu. "Seeing how pitiful you are, let me send you off."
A crack was heard, and Wen Moyu's head slumped limply to the side. Her eyes were filled with regret and unwillingness. She considered herself the foremost talented woman, yet she had become a tool in someone else's hands, pointing at those close to her, and in the end, was abandoned by everyone. She resented her parents for abandoning her, resented her brother for wanting to kill her, resented Xiao Man for taking everything she deserved, forgetting that nothing was deserved. Her brother was right; it was all her own doing.
She believed Xiao Man was the perpetrator, but in fact, Xiao Man had been a victim from beginning to end, tainted and implicated by them, the siblings.
A tear rolled from the corner of her eye. Wen Moyu regretted realizing the truth too late, regretted being blinded by greed. If she had been able to see reality clearly, to distinguish right from wrong, would her ending have been different?
Xiao Man, I'm sorry. I entrust my brother to you.
Cen Yu looked at the lifeless Wen Moyu, took out a handkerchief, and carefully wiped his hands. "After all, you did so many things for me. I'll give you a modest coffin to rest in. Next time you reincarnate, remember to bring your brain."
"Someone."
"Master."
"Drag her out and buy a simple coffin to bury her."
"Yes, Master."
Cen Yu stood at the doorway, gazing at the moon hanging in the sky. A wicked smile played on his androgynous face. "You chose the path to hell when heaven was open. I thought you could help me kill her alive, but I didn't expect you to be so useless."
"Master."
"Has the message been sent out?"
"The message has already been sent back to the capital. I believe the Prince of Qin will receive the news soon."
"Don't be too deliberate. The Prince of Qin's intelligence network is far more extensive than we imagine," Cen Yu said softly. "By the way, investigate how Xiao Man got involved with the young emperor Yun Qi."
"Your subordinate obeys."
Cen Yu turned and walked onto the corridor. Under the moonlight, he headed towards another direction. This room could no longer be lived in. He needed to prepare a new room for Mo Han. He wondered how long it would take him to return, and how heartbroken he would be when he did.
Thinking of this, a murderous intent flashed in Cen Yu's heart. If Xiao Man had decisively chosen Wen Mohan, he might have spared her. But Xiao Man hadn't. She was flirting with the Prince of Qin while stringing Wen Mohan along, truly promiscuous and shameless!
