Chapter 1356 - 1373: You Will Pay the Price 2
Nangong Zhongli spoke to the end, his eyes widened, carrying a touch of disdain and contempt, as if he were reprimanding a servant.
Xiaonuan knew that in Nangong Zhongli’s eyes, she was completely insignificant.
However, if she thought she could do whatever she wanted because of it, she was gravely mistaken!
"I may not have been born as noble as you, and our Xia Family’s assets are not even one-twentieth of your Nangong Family’s! But don’t forget, I am now Nangong Yaoling’s wife, I am now a member of the Nangong Family. By seniority, you should be calling me sister-in-law."
"Hahaha!" Nangong Zhongli suddenly burst into laughter.
"This is the funniest joke I’ve heard. Xia Xiaonuan... do you really think of yourself as someone important? Today you’re with Nangong Yaoling, you might be called young madam, but if my brother falls in love with someone else tomorrow, you’ll be nothing! Oh, right, aren’t you already divorced? How come I haven’t heard of your remarriage?"
"..." Xiaonuan heard this, and her face turned slightly pale.
"If not... then you can only be considered my brother’s girlfriend, or ex-wife? You know my brother changes women like clothes, maybe one day he’ll just swap you out! By then, what qualification will you have to speak to me like this?"
Xiaonuan shook with anger.
She almost forgot; indeed, she was now divorced from Nangong Yaoling...
Yes, what exactly did she count for around him?
Xiaonuan’s heart sank slightly, but soon, she thought of the deceased child, suddenly a firm strength surged within her, like a giant knocked down, suddenly standing up.
She stared at her unflinchingly: "Even if we haven’t remarried, do you think if I want to marry him, we can’t register tomorrow? Do you think my relationship with Nangong Yaoling needs that piece of paper?
Moreover... whether we are together or not, if Nangong Yaoling finds out who killed the child he eagerly anticipated, no matter who it is, even if it’s his sister, I think he will definitely not be merciful!
You should know the Crown Prince’s temper; anyone who betrays him ends up either dead or in an inescapable hell!"
As Nangong Zhongli listened to Xiaonuan’s words, with each sentence she spoke, his face grew uglier.
By the end, after hearing her speak of his child and mentioning death, Nangong Zhongli’s whole face turned as white as a sheet of paper.
Her entire being staggered back a step, glaring at Xia Xiaonuan hatefully. A few seconds later, she smiled and said, "Xia Xiaonuan, what evidence do you have to prove it was me? Without proof, do you think the Crown Prince will believe you?"
"That necklace is the evidence." Xiaonuan looked at Nangong Zhongli, speaking with hatred carved into her heart: "Nangong Zhongli, you’d better truly have nothing to do with this, otherwise, if it really was you who killed my child, this time, I will definitely make you pay!"
Nangong Zhongli’s entire body stiffened there, Xiaonuan looked at her expression, her heart almost froze over.
Was it really her?
In an instant, Xiaonuan felt a chill on her back, and the cold rose from the soles of her feet, sweeping over her entire body.
She looked at Nangong Zhongli in disbelief.
Was this really the same Nangong Zhongli, who once shared everything with her, kind and gentle?
How could love turn a person completely unrecognizable?
