Qin Yu looked at Shen Li soothingly.

Shen Li understood what he meant. Although she was angry, she was not to the point of losing her mind.

"Huo...Aunt, are you really as arrogant and domineering as you were back then?" Qin Yu said sarcastically.

"You little bastard, I sent so many people to kill you, but you escaped. I really regret why I couldn't wipe you out completely." Huo Nanlian said.

Now that the relationship has fallen out between the two parties, they naturally speak without restraint.

"My mother was married in a formal ceremony. Gu Cheng, a son-in-law of a local official, abandoned his wife and children and married you for power. If you have to say who is the illegitimate child, it's your son."

Huo Nanlian threw the teacup in her hand in anger: "In this capital, who doesn't know that I am the prime minister's wife? Do you think anyone would believe what you said? My son is the prime minister's legitimate son. What about you? You are just a bastard who cannot stand the light of day."

"Really? If you were so sure, why did you send someone to kill me? If my existence wasn't a threat to you, why would you bother?"

This is the hatred between the two of them. Shen Li has not said anything, but she looked at Qin Yu and although he spoke calmly, his trembling hands betrayed him, which showed that he was not at peace in his heart.

After years of hatred, she can finally settle accounts with her enemies openly. She can understand this feeling.

It was a hatred that had been suppressed for many years that finally came to light, and it was also a cage that had trapped him for many years and was now about to break free. In short, she could understand this feeling.

"Hmph, I, Huo Nanlian, do whatever I want. There's no need for so many excuses. As long as I'm happy, it's fine. Even now, don't you still have to listen to me obediently?" Huo Nanlian shook her sleeves and sat back in the chair.

Shen Li really couldn't bear it anymore. Since he couldn't bear it anymore, there was no need to endure it anymore.

"Huo Nanlian, it was you who used your power to steal someone's husband, but you are not ashamed of it, but proud of it. You even want to kill him. Where do you get the face to do that? And Qin Yu is alive. It's not that you don't want to root him out, but you haven't found him in all these years. If you had found him, would you not kill him? Don't make yourself sound so great and noble. You are just a shameless person who stole someone's husband and killed people to silence them."

Huo Nanlian glared at Shen Li viciously: "Who do you think you are? How dare you teach me a lesson? Don't forget that your Shen family is still in my hands. Do you want me to kill someone so that you can keep your mouth shut?"

"If you check, you will know that I don't have much affection for the Shen family. From childhood to adulthood, the Shen family has treated me like that. They all dote on Shen Yanyan. She is their treasure. I am just a weed. What's more, I have severed my relationship with them. But I am kind-hearted, so I wanted to come and see you."

Huo Nanlian had regained her composure. She sneered, "Really? Then let me kill someone and try? You don't care anyway, so it shouldn't affect what we're going to talk about next, right?"

Shen Li paused. She knew that she would not be able to fool the smart Huo Nanlian by saying this, but she got angry when she saw the way she was controlling herself.

"If you want to perish together with them, then just kill them. Anyway, if anything happens to them, I will bring witnesses into the palace, and then what you have done will be revealed to the world. Even if your Huo family has made great contributions, I don't think Huo Jian can protect you." Qin Yu said.

"Oh? It seems you still care? Then it's easy to talk about it." Huo Nanlian said.

Shen Li glanced at Qin Yu. The time was too short. It was impossible for Chen Zheng to find someone in such a short time.

But how can we drag it on?

Now that we have come to the point.

"Huo Nanlian, my sister was kicked into the river and drowned by the people you sent. My mother became crazy because of this. I want to know if Gu Cheng knew about this incident?" Qin Yu asked.

"Him? Does it matter whether you know it or not? But he has always been a hypocritical person. There are many things he clearly wants to do, and he even wants to do things that are more vicious than others, but he pretends to be kind and righteous in front of others. In the end, I did it for him. Otherwise, do you think he, who came from a humble family, could have sat in the position of Prime Minister today?"

Shen Li didn't expect that Huo Nanlian saw through Gu Cheng so clearly, and it seemed that she didn't have any deep feelings for him.

"So he knows about it?" Qin Yu asked.

"What? Are you sad already? Well, it's true that your biological father wants to kill you, so you should be hurt. But you should have guessed it. Although I don't like you, this little bastard, I have to admit that you are much smarter than him."

"I also have a question." Shen Li couldn't let Huo Nanlian react, otherwise she might start asking for people right away.

"Are you done yet? Don't forget what you are here for."

"Just a few questions, it won't delay anything. I want to know where Shen Yanyan is? Does she know about the Shen family? Her parents and brother are there." Although Shen Li asked these questions deliberately to delay time.

But she also really wanted to know whether she knew about the Shen family or not, or whether she didn't care.

"She is a selfish woman who only cares about herself. She doesn't care about the life and death of her family." Huo Nanlian said disdainfully.

"she knows?"

"Of course. I asked her to bring the Shen family here. She knew I had other intentions, but she still obeyed and brought them here. Later, she hooked up with the Beiyuan Crown Prince and followed him to Beiyuan. As for the Shen family, she never asked where they were. Do you think she cares about their life or death?"

It turned out that it was just as she thought. Shen Yanyan didn't care about the life or death of the Shen family at all, even though they were her closest relatives.

There are her parents, brothers, and her grandmother who has loved her since she was a child.

Huo Nanlian continued, "Actually, if we had different standpoints, I would still support my son marrying you. After all, you are quite capable and you are also quite affectionate. It's a pity that you don't like him. Since you can't be used by me, naturally you can only be my enemy."

"Does Gu Chengan know what you did?"

"There's no need to let him know. I've already transferred him out of Kyoto."

"Since he knows nothing, why is he so hostile to Qin Yu?" Shen Li knew that the assassination attempt he encountered in Nanzhou should have been sent by Gu Cheng'an.

"Because I told him since he was a child that he had an enemy, Qin Yu. As long as he was alive, he could take away everything he had now, so he naturally regarded Qin Yu as his enemy."

Shen Li finally understood. No wonder. Although Gu Cheng'an made things difficult for her when she first met him, he did not kill her.

Later he said that he fell in love with her and was indeed nice to her. When he was in Xiezhou Prefecture, he even ruined Huo Nanlian's plan to save her.

This made her feel that he was not a bad person.
