"You shameless wretch, don't I know where I am?" Chen Xiaode was truly furious at this moment, feeling as if he could kill. He reached out and grabbed Huang, forcefully pushing her to the ground and kicking her in the stomach. With a fierce glare, he shouted, "You admitted it yourself; what more do you have to say?"
"I... I..." Huang, dazed from the kick, wanted to express her grievances, but she suddenly realized that no matter what she said, it would be in vain. If Chen Xiaode didn't admit it and Aunt Rou didn't either, then what could she say that would be right? "It's all your fault, it's all because of you, you wretched woman!" she suddenly screamed at Aunt Rou, convinced that this entire conspiracy was her doing.
Yes, it had to be her. Ever since she entered the house, the Chen Family had been restless. The master had grown increasingly indifferent towards her; his cold gaze could kill.
"Master," Aunt Rou did not argue but looked at Chen Xiaode with a wronged expression, biting her lip and softly calling out. Her face was filled with grievance and fragility, making any man instinctively want to protect her.
"Shut up, you shameless wretch! If Rou'er were to harm you, she would have told me when she came to greet you after discovering your disgraceful acts. Why would she help you cover it up? You should have taken care of your maid properly. You don’t appreciate her kindness and yet cling to her like this; truly ungrateful!" He had seen through this vicious woman.
"Ungrateful?" Huang pointed at herself in despair, a dazed smile appearing on her face as a wave of metallic sweetness surged in her throat. A mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of her lips, creating a striking sight. "Chen Xiaode, when you wanted me, why didn’t you say I was ungrateful? You heartless ingrate! To gain wealth, you married the Zhu Clan; to gain power, you married me. Now that we are no longer of any use to you, you just kick us aside. You truly have a cruel heart!"
Only now did she see how terrifying and selfish the man she had shared a bed with for over twenty years was. He only ever thought of himself; the lives of others meant nothing to him. Indeed, if he weren’t so callous, why wouldn’t he be anxious about his own flesh and blood going missing while he continued to enjoy his life?
She had been wrong. From the moment Chen Qingluan left the Chen Family, she should have realized how ruthless Chen Xiaode was. Yet jealousy had blinded her heart; she had plotted for him and helped him rise to his current position—once he achieved his goals, she held no value for him anymore.
No, she couldn't accept this; she wanted revenge. She wanted Chen Xiaode to die a miserable death... unless he was dead, her hatred would never be quelled.
"That was your choice; I didn’t force you," Chen Xiaode did not deny this point. A person who achieves great things does not sweat the small stuff. He allowed Huang's arrogance for many years just to reach his own goals. After being tempered by men, regardless of their status, women still obediently followed orders.
"Master, my sister was just confused for a moment," Aunt Rou said with a worried expression and red-rimmed eyes as she advised him. "It’s all my fault; if I hadn’t come here, my sister wouldn’t be like this. Master, please spare my sister; otherwise Rou'er will be troubled!" She played her part thoroughly; otherwise it wouldn’t look good.
"Rou'er, how can you be so kind?" After hearing her words, Chen Xiaode not only did not calm down but became even angrier. "This wicked woman cursed you with daughters and has repeatedly made things difficult for you. Today I will deal with her; from now on you will be the mistress of the Chen Family! Let’s see who dares to say another word!"
"Ha! The mistress of the Chen Residence, as if she's something special!" Rou'er rolled her eyes in disdain internally, but put on a timid expression and said, "Um... that wouldn't be appropriate. Rou'er comes from a humble background; how could I possibly be the mistress?"
"What humble background? She's nothing but a lowly concubine, a concubine will always remain a concubine, never able to take center stage," Chen Xiaode sneered, his eyes narrowed as he criticized Huang's ruthlessness. "She thinks I don't know about her little tricks? I know everything she has done, including how Qing Luan was rejected and driven away from the Chen Family... That wretched woman! If it weren't for you, Chen Qingluan would now be part of my Chen Family, bringing me endless wealth for a lifetime!"
After the mask was torn off, there was no more kindness or affection—only hatred and murderous intent. Thinking of Zhu Qingluan's current connections made him wish he could devour Huang whole. She was wealthy and knew the princess; she could even get close to the emperor. Such connections were not something he could gain through Prime Minister Huang. Moreover, that old fox would never genuinely promote him; all he cared about were his own sons and grandsons—he wouldn't spare a thought for Chen Xiaode.
"You... you've been harboring resentment all this time?" Huang was astonished. She had always thought that Chen Xiaode hated Zhu Qingluan, but she never realized he had been harboring hatred for her.
"Why shouldn't I hate you?" Chen Xiaode roared with ferocity. "Your father wanted to swallow everything from Jade Pavilion but couldn't. Huang, if he wanted it, why shouldn't I? If it weren't for you, would I have lost this daughter?" Back then, he had no real power and no leverage against Huang; he could only endure while directing all his hatred toward Zhu Qingluan, completely blinding them.
"Hahaha..." Her low laughter turned into a desolate roar. Looking at Chen Xiaode's expression of disgust and hatred toward her, Huang felt utterly ridiculous. What had she been doing with her life? She had toppled the Zhu Clan but ended up harming her only daughter while becoming a thorn in Chen Xiaode's side—a pain in his flesh. He wished she would die right now. Was this the ending she desired?
Amidst her laughter lay too much unwillingness and hatred. She had sacrificed so much; why did it end up like this? She refused to accept it... refused!
"Someone, drag her out!" Chen Xiaode ordered coldly as he watched her go mad without an ounce of pity in his eyes.
"Chen Xiaode, if you want me dead, I won't let you live in peace either!" Just as Huang was being helped up by others and managed to break free from their grasp to walk forward obediently, she suddenly roared in anger, crashing into Aunt Rou fiercely. Then she let out a heart-wrenching laugh filled with despair and cursed loudly, "I want you to be childless for life, with no one to bury you!"
After so many years with Chen Xiaode, what was his heart's knot? How could she not know? It was just strange that no matter how many women Chen Xiaode had, they either couldn't conceive or only bore daughters. Perhaps it was because the Chen Family had committed too many sins that heaven sought to punish him.
"Ah!" Aunt Rou cried out in agony as she was knocked down, clutching her abdomen as she collapsed onto the ground.
