Shen Ke spoke, his eyes already brimming with tears, presenting a truly affectionate and regretful appearance.

It had to be said, his acting skills were quite well-learned from Qin Yi Liu.

One moment he was a ferocious demon, and the next, tears flowed on demand.

Having obtained the answer she wanted, Yu Qingwu didn't bother wasting any more words with him.

Casting a cold glance at him, she slowly retreated, coldly snorting and scanning Shen Ke emotionlessly. "Shen Ke, do you think it's still possible?"

"As the saying goes, an arrow shot has no turning back, especially since your arrow has already pierced me."

"Take care of yourself."

A hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. Yu Qingwu stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and then turned to leave.

Shen Ke was now convinced that Yu Qingwu was also a reborn, and that Qin Yi Liu was no match for her. His heart was filled with extreme panic and fear.

Seeing Yu Qingwu about to leave, he panicked even more, disregarding his image, and hurriedly called out to her. "Sister A'Wu, that Qin woman told me many things, even discussing how to deal with you. If you're willing to forgive me, I'll tell you everything, and then we can deal with her together."

"And… and by borrowing your memories from your previous life, one of us can be a powerful minister, and the other can be the Empress Dowager. We can be loving for a lifetime…"

What the hell? One a powerful minister, the other the Empress Dowager, loving for a lifetime?

This Shen Ke was truly driven mad, even uttering such words.

He thought too highly of himself…

Originally, Yu Qingwu had only come to fish for information, but seeing Shen Ke's self-recommending, sycophantic appearance, she suddenly felt disgusted.

She really wanted to… humiliate him severely.

Her steps abruptly halted, and she slowly turned back, her gaze fixed on Shen Ke.

An undisguised, blatant disgust.

A cold smile playing on her lips, she walked back towards him and asked, "Shen Ke, what did you say? Say it again?"

Hearing this, Shen Ke was instantly dumbfounded.

*Slap!*

A crisp sound.

Yu Qingwu raised her hand and slapped Shen Ke across his left cheek.

Shen Ke's whole body shuddered, looking at Yu Qingwu in disbelief. "Yu Qingwu, you…"

*Slap!*

Before he could finish speaking, the other side of his face was also slapped.

Intense pain accompanied by a ringing in his ears made Shen Ke grimace. He gritted his teeth, and opened his mouth to speak again.

Yu Qingwu suddenly kicked him in a certain area. Although she wasn't as skilled in martial arts as A'Yue, she used all her strength, and that kick landed on Shen Ke's vital point.

Shen Ke instantly let out a pig-like scream, his face flushed red from the pain, his whole body curled up on the ground in a miserable state, trembling all over.

Yu Qingwu retracted her foot, cast a mocking glance at him, and coldly sneered, "Shen Ke, with you, a waste of space who spends all day surrounded by women, reeking of rouge and powder, you dare to dream of becoming a powerful minister? Want to be loving with me? In my eyes, you're not even worthy of being a gigolo."

Shen Ke was already annoyed by the pain, and hearing Yu Qingwu's words, he was even more stimulated. He roared and struggled to stand up, wanting to attack Yu Qingwu.

But the heavy iron chains on his ankles restricted his movement. Not only did he fail to touch Yu Qingwu, but he also fell flat on his face.

Towards Shen Ke, Yu Qingwu had always felt disgust.

Even without Qin Yi Liu, he was the son of her enemy, and a lecherous playboy who fooled around with maids every day.

From beginning to end, she had never truly considered marrying Shen Ke, nor did she have any affection for him. All she felt was an aversion stemming from his family's crimes.

So at this moment, seeing Shen Ke's miserable and wretched appearance, she felt no pity whatsoever.

She simply crossed her arms in front of her chest, maintaining her amused expression, and warned with a hum of laughter, "Shen Ke, you need to know your place. Don't dream of reaching for things that don't belong to you. Whether it's people or power, you can't handle it."

"Also, be careful with your words. Don't say everything everywhere, or you might end up like your grandmother."

"You… poisonous woman! You poisonous woman!" Shen Ke was already close to going mad with anger. Hearing Yu Qingwu's words, he became even more enraged, completely losing his earlier affectionate demeanor. His eyes were filled with anger as he pointed at Yu Qingwu, gnashing his teeth. "Yu Qingwu! How can you be so vicious! I might be one thing, but Grandmother was still your grandmother! Even if she wasn't related to you by blood, she treated you well in the past. Now you've not only killed her, but you're even saying such awful things. You'll be punished for this…"

Punished?

How could he even say that?

Didn't he know why Qiu Shi had ended up in such a state? If the Shen family hadn't harmed others first, why would there be such misfortune today?

At this moment, all of Yu Qingwu's composure crumbled.

Without thinking, she retorted sharply, arrogant and mocking, "Shen Ke, I don't know if I'll be punished, but your Shen family, and that slut Qiu Shi, have already been punished!"

"You say she treated me well? She plotted to seize my Yu family's property and killed my parents. Is that what you call treating me well? She sent me to Shu, ordered Yang Cheng to kill me. Is that what you call treating me well? Such an evil person should just die! She should go to hell and never be reincarnated!"

Yu Qingwu's face was full of anger, and she became more and more agitated as she spoke. By the end, her voice had become shrill and fierce.

Realizing that she was too agitated, Qingwu closed her eyes again, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and looked down at Shen Ke, word by word, "Shen Ke, I might as well tell you, with me around, your Shen family will never have a chance to turn things around."

"Also, what I said about letting you go out of consideration for our past life was also a lie. I was just testing you, trying to get the truth about Qin Yi Liu out of your mouth."

"Actually, she was right. In my previous life, I did kill your whole family, including you…"

Her emotions gradually calmed down, and her voice gradually faded.

A gloomy, extremely calm sentence echoed in the prison cell.

Yu Qingwu chuckled coldly, turned and left.

As she exited, she heard Shen Ke's collapsing cries.

At this moment, she suddenly hoped that she was indeed reborn.

If that were the case, perhaps she would be able to avenge her parents and the innocent members of the Yu clan faster and more ruthlessly.

Lost in thought, Yu Qingwu stepped out of the prison cell.

The light outside was a bit dazzling. She frowned, half-covered her eyes, and got into the carriage.

Xie Jin Yan was already sitting opposite her. Seeing her get in, he first reached out to support her, and then sat back down, looking at her with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. After a moment, he asked, "I heard that Senior Sister is keeping gigolos?"
