Chapter 186 Bloodshed
The reason why Li Ying'er came to find Gu Rou was obvious, naturally to show off that she was about to become the wife of the top scholar.
"It's a pity that my cousin was recuperating at home on the day of the parade of the top scholar, and I didn't go to see it. Mr. Shen is really a handsome man." Li Ying'er changed her sad expression, and her eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy.
Li Ying'er was extremely satisfied with Shen Wuji's talent and appearance. She had thought that it would be difficult for her to find a satisfactory husband after being scolded by Prince Yu. However, she had never expected that she would suddenly become the wife of the number one scholar. She was truly overjoyed.
This pair of fake sisters had been at odds with each other for a long time because of Bai Yiyi's matter. Gu Rou thought that Li Ying'er would have to marry him hastily but she didn't expect that she would get the upper hand instead.
"It's not surprising that a top scholar appears every three years. I heard that this top scholar Shen is penniless and can't even afford a house. I'm afraid that my cousin will have a hard time after she gets married." Gu Rou didn't mention jealousy in any of her words, but her words were sour.
She originally believed Xie Qing's promise, thinking that he could really help her get the top spot in the imperial examination, so that she could be proud of herself.
It would be fine even if he wasn't the top scorer, but he couldn't even pass the exam against the cripple from the Jiang family. It's so embarrassing!
Li Ying'er was not annoyed when she heard this, but smiled, "Shen Lang lost both his parents when he was young, so it's normal for his family to have no savings.
But Shen Lang felt sorry for me and was worried that I would suffer if I married him, so he agreed to marry me in Li's mansion for the time being."
"What? Shen Wuji is willing to marry into the family?" Gu Rou widened her eyes.
Any man with some ability would be willing to marry into a woman's family and be taught by others, let alone a newly crowned top scholar.
"It's not like we're marrying into the Li family's family, we're just living in the Li Mansion until Shen Lang's career is stable.
Shen Lang is a miserable man, with no parents and no brothers or sisters, he is so lonely and pitiful." Li Ying'er said Shen Wuji was pitiful, but in fact, the corners of her mouth were almost raised to the sky.
Gu Rou felt even more sour after hearing this.
She doesn't have to serve her parents-in-law, and she doesn't have to deal with difficult sisters-in-law. After they get married, they still live in the Li Mansion, and there's no need to worry about Li Ying'er being bullied. How come all the good things happen to her!
Seeing that Gu Rou looked unhappy, Li Ying'er felt even happier.
"By the way, cousin, I heard that you hurt your body after the miscarriage and it will be difficult for you to get pregnant again. Is this true?"
Gu Rou's eyes suddenly became sinister, and her gaze was as sharp as a knife.
Li Ying'er didn't notice it, and continued to talk to herself: "I know a gynecologist at home, if you need anything, I can help you find one.
No matter how well a woman marries, if she doesn't have any children, she will be alone and helpless when she grows old. She might even be thrown out by the illegitimate son who inherits the family business!"
"Have you said enough? If you have, get out of here!" Gu Rou had suffered so many blows that she could no longer pretend to be as gentle as before. She picked up the cup in her hand and smashed it to the ground, scaring Li Ying'er.
"What are you crazy about!" Li Ying'er brushed her wet skirt and glared at Gu Rou.
"No wonder the prince doesn't like you. He would rather stay in the slave's room than touch you. Look at you, like a crazy woman. It's so scary!"
These words all touched Gu Rou's fragile and sensitive nerves. Her eyes gradually turned scarlet and she screamed like she had lost her mind: "Bitch, I'm going to kill you!"
Gu Rou rushed forward and wrestled with Li Ying'er. Li Ying'er's maid stepped forward to separate them but was beaten up by the maids in Gu Rou's courtyard.
Gu Rou slapped Li Ying'er's face like a madman, and every slap was filled with the resentment and anger that had accumulated over these days.
Her father and mother advised her to be patient, but Xie Qing turned a blind eye to her. Even her personal maid betrayed her. No one was willing to put themselves in her shoes.
Li Ying'er was stunned by Gu Rou and had no chance to fight back. Her hand suddenly touched the broken porcelain bottle on the ground and she reached out towards Gu Rou without saying a word.
When Gu Jin arrived, she only heard a shrill scream. When she stepped into the house, she saw Gu Rou covering her face with one hand, with blood flowing down between her fingers...
