Chapter 182: Deceiving Uncle Sheng (81)

Ji Xili saw that Sheng Qianmo had woken up and was looking at her. Her eyes felt sore and her throat choked up for a long time. She could barely say, “You finally woke up…”

Sheng Qianmo was still a little dazed. He frowned and asked, “What happened?”

Hearing something from inside the carriage, Sheng Zhiyu and Su Huang walked in.

After hearing what had happened during the past few days, Sheng Qianmo didn’t react, but he put on his cloak and got off the carriage.

The first thing he did upon exiting the carriage was ask where Shu Nuan was.

His calmness and indifference didn’t seem to have changed.

But he seemed annoyed by something when he found out she’d been kept in a cage.

When Ningcheng had brought her, many soldiers had followed him, waiting to see how their prince would execute the spy.

At this moment, Shu Nuan was squatting in the corner of the cage, motionless and wrapped in her cloak. She was unconscious.

Sheng Qianmo stared at her. After a long time, he slowly said, “Open the cage.”

Behind him, many soldiers exchanged stares.

Someone immediately stepped forward to open the cage’s lock. With a slam, the door of the cage opened.

He stepped forward, held out his arms, carried the skinny little girl out, and threw her under his feet.

Shu Nuan was awakened by the pain from falling on the ground. Her severe headache was accompanied with pain and lethargy. Her frozen hands grabbed the man’s foot with some effort. Then she raised her head with difficulty and coughed. Her face was pale as white snow, but her lips were red and she was clearly ill.

Shu Nuan didn’t know if she was dreaming when she saw Qianmo’s figure in front of her.

All the grievances she had suffered surged up at once. She tried her best to hold his leg tightly and tried to speak, but instead she coughed incessantly and struggled to breathe.

Sheng Qianmo was still indifferent and said, “Bring water.”

A soldier surrendered a water bag to him. Sheng Qianmo threw it at his feet. Shu Nuan was still a little dizzy and didn’t realize what was happening. Upon taking a few sips, she felt a little better.

“Did you poison me?” Sheng Qianmo calmly asked her, stepping on her little hand when she tried to hold it up again.

She struggled hard, but she couldn’t get her hand underneath from his foot. She cried and her lips trembled, before she said, “No, I never… No…”

She’d held back the past days and didn’t let a single drop of tear fall, holding onto hope that Qianmo would believe her. But when he stepped on her hand, it hurt so much that he seemed like a stranger.

“The five-claw worm was found in your luggage! Many soldiers witnessed it with their own eyes. Do you want to deny it?” Ji Xili asked.
