Chapter 328 – Returning to Su Manor (28)

Now, Su Wan’s complexion was as white as paper, it seemed like she had only a flimsy thread of breath left and she looked exceedingly weak. It seemed possible that with the very next breath, she would die.

n.o.body dared to step forward to lift Su Wan down from the wall. First, because it was His Highness Prince Jin who had acted, and second, it was because Su Wan had already broken away from the Su family. So as far as they were concerned, she was only an outsider now.

“For, for what reason?” Su Wan weakly opened her mouth to ask. While she was speaking, another mouthful of blood violently sprayed out.

A loud ‘thump’ sound rang out when her body tumbled to the floor. She almost pa.s.sed out due to the severity of the pain from the fall.

Nangong Liuyun’s gaze was lazy and devilishly charming. He cast an indifferent sidelong glance at her.

“For what reason… Your Highness is treating me like this… just a moment ago… didn’t you say… I am Your Highness’s woman… uhm?” Su Wan’s pair of eyes stared fixedly at Nangong Liuyun. Her breath was feeble as she stared at him.

Just now everything was going well, but ever since Su Luo appeared, everything changed afterwards!

Nangong Liuyun started to laugh softly, his pair of peerless black eyes was completely apathetic: “When did this king acknowledge you as this king’s people?”

Wha-what? Did His Highness Prince Jin actually never acknowledge this point?

It was not just Su Wan, almost everyone present was stunned as they stared at Nangong Liuyun who was pulling Su Luo to stand by his side. A sarcastic arc arose on his peerless, handsome face.

That’s right, thinking back, a moment ago, it was only Su Wan who was saying those words by herself. In fact, from start to finish, His Highness Prince Jin never did acknowledge her, but Your Highness also never denied her claims either… For what reason would he do this?

Recalling His Highness Prince Jin’s conduct and deeds toward Su Wan just now, everyone felt was somewhat weird.

Finally, it was still Nangong Liuyun who help clear up their confusion. And in pa.s.sing, letting Su Wan become an enlightened ghost.

Nangong Liuyun, whose position was high above, looked down with a penetrating gaze that radiated an ice-cold light. He smiled with not quite a smile while lifting an eyebrow: “Before, the water that you drank was especially sweet, am I right?”

Su Wan was bewildered as she looked at Nangong Liuyun with uncertainty. How could His Highness Prince Jin even know of this? Could he have cared about her this much?

Nangong Liuyun smiled sinisterly and charmingly while continuing his explanation: “When you sleep, it’s especially deep and you always have nightmares, am I right?”

Su Wan had a startled expression as she stared at Nangong Liuyun.

“Obesity poison.” Said Nangong Liuyun with clear, bright and mesmerizing obsidian eyes. His black pupils that concealed a hawk-like gaze were sharp and cutting. He continued with the confidence of his convictions, as if everything was his by right, “That was the elixir that this king had dispatched people to secretly poison you with.”

What?!

The person who poisoned Su Wan was actually His Highness Prince Jin? Why would he do this? What hatred did he have for Su Wan?

Wasn’t directly killing her the same? Why would he torment her like this?

Everybody was terrified and awed by this admission.

Su Wan was immediately stunned stupid, she would never have expected that it was actually His Highness Prince Jin who poisoned her. Furthermore, he also revealed this news in a tone that was as if it was right and expected.

“For, for what reason?” Before this, she basically had never really seen His Highness Prince Jin, let alone having offended him.

Even if she had offended him, he could just have her killed directly in response. Why would he waste so much effort to arrange this?

“For what reason?” Nangong Liuyun smiled faintly: “ Such a forgetful Miss. Could it be that you forgot the matter from before of going to the Mercenary Union to issue a task?”

The matter of issuing a task?

Su Zian’s eyelids jumped, at that time, hadn’t they suspected Su Luo for issuing that task? Why was it that now, in a blink of an eye, it had changed into being Su Wan? In the end, how was this matter related?

His pair of malicious eyes was tightly fixed on Su Wan, trying to find any clue on her face.

Now, Su Wan’s eyes shrank back, cowering in fear. She didn’t expect that this matter would actually be known by His Highness Prince Jin.
