Chapter 1342 - 1349: To Love Is To Trust (5)
Hearing Nangong Yi’s merciless condemnation, Nangong Yu blushed with shame, unable to show her face. Bowing her head and sobbing, she said in fits and starts, "Brother, you were never like this to me before, you used to dote on me, humor my every wish, but now..."
As she cried, she suddenly burst out, pointing her finger at Cai Wei, exclaiming sharply: "It’s all her fault, all because of this vixen; ever since she appeared, you’ve become estranged from me and Imperial Mother, your eyes and heart only have space for her, even treating her younger sister better than me. Brother, by acting this way, you really broke my heart and Imperial Mother’s too..."
Seeing that she was still unrepentant now, Nangong Yi was so enraged that his veins throbbed. He coldly said, "If it weren’t for the ’vixen’ you speak of, your elder brother would have long perished in Hell, turned to a pile of bones, and you and Mother wouldn’t have enjoyed the peaceful days you have now. If I were dead, even if you were still miraculously alive, you would have no idea how Jin Guifei and her son would have tormented you by now; saying that I’ve become estranged from you, have you ever reflected on what you have done? You conspired with that fool Helana to drug me, and with that poison woman Tuotuo to hex me with Gu. Do you have any idea of the consequences if I were affected by the Gu? If I was not merciful, you would have long been dead without a place to bury your body, how could you still have the chance to lose face in public and throw dirty water on the innocent?"
"I have never interfered in the affair between Zi Qi and Second Young Miss Mu, because from the beginning, I intended to let you fend for yourselves in fair competition. It was Zi Qi who didn’t choose you, how does that concern me? However, if I were Zi Qi, I certainly wouldn’t choose you either!"
"Stop talking, stop talking..."
Nangong Yu, with her hands over her ears, began to cry loudly, shouting, "I know I’m the one at fault, I’m stupid, I’m foolish, I’m willful, everyone hates me, despises me, not just you, even Brother Zi Qi dislikes me, no one likes me..."
