After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 252 - 242: Did You Kill Her?!

Xu Yin stood inside the threshold, closing the door.

Hearing the noise, Yongping turned her head, her eyes pausing on his face for a moment before she quickly sat up.

"It’s you! You finally decided to show up?"

Xu Yin stopped in front of her: "With that attitude of yours, it’s no wonder you’ve ended up like this."

After speaking, he sat down beside her: "You’ve caused all this trouble yourself. Do you really expect me to show up and clean up after you? Do you truly believe everyone around you is supposed to revolve around you?"

Yongping gritted her teeth and sat up: "But I am your wife! It’s only right that you protect me!" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Xu Yin coldly curled his lips: "Now you remember you’re my wife? Did you ever inform me of your plans? When you were laying these schemes, did you ever think they might ruin my future?"

"Your future?" Yongping sneered, "Isn’t your future granted by us, Prince Rong’s Mansion? Even if I harmed it, so what? I have the right!

"Without Prince Rong’s Mansion, without being a Prince Consort, you would still be struggling as a minor editor in the Hanlin Academy!

"With Liang Ning dead, you couldn’t have become a son-in-law of the Liang Family. They wouldn’t have supported you with all their might. It’s because you married me that you soared to great heights. What reason do you have not to defend me?"

If losing her nobility title and becoming a commoner was her greatest failure today, then Xu Yin never showing up to support her — only returning after everything had settled — was Yongping’s greatest heartache of the day.

She never imagined that after five years of marriage, six years of being together, he would abandon her when she needed him the most!

In the past, the couple had quarreled numerous times, and Yongping never backed down easily, so she had thrown harsh words at Xu Yin before, but nothing like what she had just said!

She was too angry!

Too disappointed!

How could he be so heartless and cold-blooded?

This time she wouldn’t let it go!

Xu Yin looked at her with cold disdain: "Sometimes I truly admire you; arrogant and stupid, yet still alive.

"You claim to be noble, looking down on everyone around you, yet you can’t beat any of them!

"In the end, Mrs. Zhang and Fu Zhen teamed up against you, bringing you to ruin!

"And you blame me for not showing up to support you? Do you deserve it? You only deserve a rope to end this life! Save the Royal family from embarrassment, save your parents, save your child!"

Yongping roared: "Xu Yin!"

Xu Yin’s face was icy as iron: "Today you dared to secretly collude with an imperial decree from the Eastern Palace behind my back! Tomorrow I’m afraid you’ll conspire to rebel!

"If I don’t give you a harsh lesson, letting you crash and burn, I’m afraid my hard-earned status and position will all be in vain!"

Yongping was full of disbelief: "Is that how you see our Prince Rong’s Mansion? Is status and position really all you care about?"

"What else?" Xu Yin was full of mockery, "Weren’t those the very things you used to tempt me? The very things you used to lure me in, forcing me to surrender?

"Only you would think some powerless, titular Prince Manor is something great!"

Yongping was so angry her face cracked: "Have you forgotten how my father paved the way for your career? How he expanded your network? How can you be so ungrateful?!"

Xu Yin sneered: "Being ungrateful? So what? It’s not like I haven’t done it before, I surely don’t mind doing it to you again!

"From the moment you started using those things to bait me, you should have known that in my eyes, Prince Rong’s Mansion was just a stepping stone!"

Yongping was struck dumb: "You speak these words, you – the Xu Yin known for loyalty and righteousness?"

"You believe that too?" Xu Yin glanced at her lightly.

Yongping’s face turned deathly pale: "Have you been deceiving me all along?"

"I didn’t deceive you; you deceived yourself." Xu Yin withdrew his hand, "Think about it, if I was so loyal and grateful, how could I have been with you behind Liang Ning’s back?

"Did you really think that night, I was overwhelmed with passion for you?"

Yongping staggered back a few steps. She shouted hoarsely, "Are you talking about that night in the villa with you and me?"

"Of course, that night." Xu Yin replied. "Whenever you had the chance you dropped your handkerchief in front of me, batted your eyes, practically marked yourself with ’free gift’, willingly pricing yourself for me, and showing all your tricks. If I didn’t respond, wouldn’t I have failed you?"
