Chapter 1321 Liu Shixiu uses Shen Zhinian
"She lost her child, what does this have to do with me?"
"You can't even protect your own mistress and child, yet you have the nerve to question me?"
Shen Zhinian's words were like a cold knife. Not only did they deny Liu Shixiu's accusations, but they also harshly pointed out his failure and incompetence as a man.
Sure enough, Liu Shixiu was completely enraged!
He struggled frantically, the chains rattling, his wounds bursting and bleeding more, and he roared like a trapped beast: "You dare to quibble!"
"If you hadn't sent assassins to harm Nan Qiao, how could she have lost her child? And you're still pretending here!"
"Shen Zhinian! It's you! It's you who killed my child!"
Shen Zhinian listened quietly to Liu Shixiu's crazy roar, and the fog in his heart gradually dissipated.
As expected, someone attacked Shen Nanqiao's child and put the blame on her.
Shen Zhinian looked at Liu Shixiu who looked like a madman, and felt extremely ironic in his heart.
This man used Shen Nanqiao as a chess piece and exploited her thoroughly. Now he pretended to be deeply in love with her and grieved about the loss of his beloved son to question her?
The corners of Shen Zhinian's lips slowly curled up in a sarcastic arc, and every word was clear, piercing the most painful part of Liu Shixiu's heart: "How ridiculous."
"Liu Shixiu, you've fallen into this state today, yet you're still thinking about an unborn bastard and that foolish woman."
"It seems that the downfall of the Liu family is indeed God's will."
After saying that, Shen Zhinian no longer gave Liu Shixiu any chance to vent his emotions. He turned around and walked towards the cell door without any reluctance.
Behind him, Liu Shixiu's curses and roars became even more crazy and desperate, but they were gradually isolated by the heavy iron door.
The last ray of light was completely swallowed up, and the depths of the sky prison once again fell into suffocating darkness and silence.
On the wall, Liu Shixiu's face, which was distorted and ferocious due to extreme hatred, quickly disappeared, and his expression became extremely calm in an instant.
He did feel the pain of losing his son.
The hatred towards Shen Zhinian is not entirely false.
But he knew from the beginning that the unborn child was not killed by Shen Zhinian.
Although Qiao Niang had repeatedly accused Shen Zhinian of harming their child, and cried about how Shen Zhinian had harassed and intimidated her in the palace...
But Liu Shixiu understood Shen Zhinian's methods.
If that woman really wanted to harm Qiao Niang and her unborn child, she would never deal with it so lightly.
She could either remain silent or strike with a thunderbolt, eliminating the trouble once and for all. She wouldn't leave behind any ambiguous evidence that could be used to criticize her.
There must be another real culprit in this matter.
The reason why he wanted to meet Shen Zhinian today, and pretended to be like this, and said these words in front of Shen Zhinian, was because...
He was now imprisoned, his limbs crippled, doomed to die. There was no way he could ever uncover the truth and avenge the child who never saw the light of day.
Then, he can only kill with a borrowed knife.
Shen Zhinian is the person he can think of who is most likely to be wielded as the real culprit behind the scenes.
So today, he must play this drama well.
Liu Shixiu knew how perceptive and suspicious Shen Zhinian was. If he wanted to deceive her, he had to deceive himself first.
He had to magnify the real pain of losing his child countless times.
The hatred for Shen Zhinian burned to the extreme.
She completely put herself into the role of a crazy father who firmly believed that she was the murderer.
Only in this way could those subtle irrationalities be covered up by the surging emotions, making her believe that his hatred was pure.
As long as Shen Zhinian believed it, as long as she had the suspicion that there was something else going on...
Shen Zhinian was a vindictive person who would not tolerate anyone framing her. Even if this incident ultimately did not cause her any harm, she would never tolerate someone playing this kind of trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife and killing two birds with one stone right under her nose.
Shen Zhinian will definitely investigate and find out the real culprit!
In this way... even if Liu Shixiu died, he would have avenged the blood feud for Qiao Niang and the child who was not meant to be with him in a roundabout way.
This was the only thing that a dying man like him could do for the woman whom he had truly pitied but also exploited to the extreme.
In Liu Shixiu's mind, Shen Nanqiao's bright face, which always had a bit of stupidity and admiration, flashed through his mind.
In the depths of his dead eyes, a complex look of pain finally emerged that he couldn't suppress...
The chains were icy cold and the cells were filthy.
Liu Shixiu slowly closed his eyes and buried all his emotions completely in the boundless darkness.
the other side.
After leaving the sky prison, the spring air rushed into his lungs, but it failed to dispel the deep thought between Shen Zhinian's brows.
Zhan Weiran stood guard silently by his side.
The group walked in silence on the palace road, and the atmosphere was slightly depressing.
Shen Zhinian did not stop, but went straight to the Yangxin Palace instead of returning to the Yongshou Palace.
Her mind was as clear as a mirror. Liu Shixiu was a wanted criminal, and he had to see her before he died. The emperor would definitely be concerned about what he said.
Rather than waiting for Nangong Xuanyu to ask about it later, it would be better for her to take the initiative and report it frankly. This would make her appear to have nothing to hide and would also make it easier to control the narrative.
Along the way, Shen Zhinian's mind quickly recalled Liu Shixiu's crazy, desperate expression and roar in the cell.
That bone-deep hatred and obsession with the unborn child...seemed too real.
It really made Shen Zhinian's originally firm judgment waver.
It seems...the miscarriage of the child in Shen Nanqiao's belly was not caused by Liu Shixiu himself.
His crazy questioning today is just a desperate vent from a father who lost his child?
But if that's the case...
Shen Zhinian's eyes suddenly turned as cold as ice.
Who could that be?
Who could have such means and intentions to harm Shen Nanqiao's child without anyone knowing, and also perfectly throw the dirty water on her head?
Not only did it deepen Liu Shixiu and Shen Nanqiao's hatred towards her, but it might also have triggered a series of uncontrollable consequences at the time.
Shen Nanqiao was dead, and Liu Shixiu was also dying. On the surface, this unsolved case seemed to have become irrelevant with the disappearance of the parties involved, and had not caused any substantial damage to her.
However, Shen Zhinian has never been a person who just gets by.
She would not allow any potential threats to hide in corners that she could not see.
Anyone who could do such evil things silently, who had once harmed Shen Nanqiao, might not dare to harm her or even Ah Xu in the future.
Whether Liu Shixiu was expressing his true feelings today or had other intentions, it didn't matter.
The important thing is that this incident has successfully aroused Shen Zhinian's vigilance and desire to explore.
She must pull out this poisonous snake hiding in the dark!
Otherwise, it will be difficult to sleep and eat well.
As his mind raced, the Yangxin Palace was already within sight.
Shen Zhinian took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing all his turbulent thoughts, and his face returned to its usual calm and graceful state. Only a subtle cold glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.
