Chapter 1575: 1575 Death is your ghost

Xiao Yuchuan listened but far from being moved, he felt disgusted instead. "I don’t like you. Nor do I need this gesture from you; such actions only make me feel annoyed and repulsed."

Her tears streamed ceaselessly. "Why? Brother Chuan, where am I not good enough?"

"It’s not about whether you are good enough or not, it’s that you are not in my heart."

"Are you still hung up on Su Qingyue?"

"I said what concerns me is none of your business!"

"I am your fiancée, how could it not concern me?" Her heart blazed with anger, but she had to maintain a facade of fragility. "Brother Chuan, if there is anything about me that displeases you, please just tell me, and I can change."

She had thought he would say there was no discontent, that this was not the reason. Instead he coldly replied, "Everything about you is disagreeable to me. I dislike everything I see."

She was at a loss for words, speechless with anger. "..."

After a moment of silence, she stepped back. "Brother Chuan, you and Su Qingyue were husband and wife, and your lingering thoughts for her show that you are a man of affection and loyalty. I won’t force you to forget her right now, I just ask you to give me a chance. Try to get along with me, try to accept me, alright?"

He glanced at her impatiently. "You look fine, human enough, so why can’t you understand human language? I told you I won’t marry you, I don’t like you, now get out of the Xiao Mansion immediately!"

Xiao Yuchuan! Gongsun Qianru cursed him in her heart, wishing she could rip out his heart and trample it into the dirt. Yet on the surface, she cried softly, like a little wife who had suffered great wrongs.

Maid Xiahe stood to one side, head bowed; she had been beaten half to death by her master and still had to act as if nothing had happened. She thought that her young lady, who was so brutal, had finally met her match today. She couldn’t help admiring the future son-in-law for his spirit.

As the stalemate persisted, the housekeeper hurried back, holding out a box to Xiao Yuchuan. "Young master, for you."

Gongsun Qianru was confused. "What is this?"

Xiao Yuchuan laughed coldly. "I was poisoned with Soft Bone Powder; this is the antidote. If it weren’t for the Xiao couple confining me to bed, did you really think this farce of a marriage could go on? Miss Gongsun, if you won’t leave, then I, Xiao Yuchuan, will. If I’m missing on the day of the wedding, don’t blame me."

"You..." Gongsun Qianru, even though a concubine daughter in the Gongsun Family, held a high position in the household due to her mother’s favor. After her mother was promoted from concubine to Lady Gongsun, she became the legitimate daughter, courted by countless suitors. She had never endured such treatment before, and was now on the verge of exploding with rage!

Her mother had said, to control a man, one must use softness to overcome strength. She suppressed the temper that was about to erupt. "Our two families are entering into a marriage union; even if you are unwilling, you still have to marry. Can you really disregard the entire interests of the Xiao Family?"

Xiao Yuchuan took the antidote. "I am willing to abandon even my position as the heir of the Xiao Family, let alone the so-called interests of the family. Let me tell you, the interests of the Xiao Family mean less than **** to me. And you..."

He narrowed his eyes, laughing arrogantly. "You, Gongsun Qianru, in my eyes — are less than nothing!"

"You, you, you!" Gongsun Qianru stood up abruptly, so angry she was nearly fainting.

Maid Xiahe quickly supported her, not daring to say a word of advice. At a time like this, if she misspoke, the young lady might well beat her to death in her fury.

"Oh dear, young master, what are you saying?" The housekeeper was anxiously on edge. "If Master and Lady find out you’re quarreling with Miss Gongsun like this, they’ll be extremely upset. It’s getting late; you should go visit Master and Lady in the East Garden and check on their injuries."
