Facing Li Qianfan's fierce questioning, Su Nanyin remained silent.
She only bit her lip harder.
Her gaze began to waver, afraid to meet Li Qianfan's eyes.
This was enough to prove that what Li Qianfan said was correct!
Su Nanyin dared not argue.
Only because she knew better than anyone that her arguments at this moment would only provoke Li Qianfan's greater anger, and lead him to treat her roughly.
She had to overcome all her fears and force herself to calm down, and calm down again, and again.
Even if she wanted to argue, she had to wait for Li Qianfan to finish speaking.
To see how much he knew.
And how he knew it!
Li Qianfan saw what she was thinking.
He satisfied her—
"It was precisely because you secretly orchestrated all of this, instilling in Yaoyao what you believed to be the most correct view of love. That's why eight years ago, I was almost cut in half by Yaoyao."
"But do you know?"
"I didn't understand what girls were like until last year, when Chongchong went to Qingyun."
"I, this little rogue, am definitely the most miserable little rogue in the world."
"From a young age, I was beaten by my mother every day. And I was almost sent to the afterlife by my own fiancée with a knife."
"Heh heh."
"Eight years ago, why did Uncle Shen almost beat Yaoyao to death?"
"Was he beating Yaoyao?"
"He was warning you!"
Li Qianfan withdrew the hand that was pinching Su Nanyin's chin: "Warning you, Su Nanyin, that you had gone too far."
A clear blue finger mark appeared on Su Nanyin's chin.
She still didn't speak, maintaining a terrifying composure, listening to Li Qianfan's explanation.
*Snap*.
Li Qianfan lit a cigarette.
Wisps of smoke curled upwards—
"I remember clearly, shortly after I was injured and bandaged eight years ago, I fell asleep in the guest room at the Shen family's house."
"In my drowsy state, I heard someone talking."
"There were many people at the Shen family's that day."
"The most important distinguished guest among them was Grandma Moye Zhengdong from Loulan."
"After my accident, Grandma Moye personally bandaged my wound."
"When she visited me again, you also came to see me."
"You both knew I was in a deep sleep, and that I was just a child at the time, so you naturally wouldn't guard against me."
"I vaguely remember Grandma Moye asking you in a very soft voice, 'How can you bear to treat me like this?'"
"My mother couldn't see through it, but that doesn't mean others can't see through it or are not adept!"
Li Qianfan looked at Su Nanyin again as he said this.
Su Nanyin's pupils contracted uncontrollably.
Just before Li Qianfan mentioned Moye Zhengdong, she still couldn't understand how Li Qianfan knew these things.
She had also completely forgotten that eight years ago, Grandma Moye had questioned her by Li Qianfan's side while he was in a coma.
But Li Qianfan had been with her for so long, why had he never mentioned it before?
Su Nanyin finally spoke: "You knew clearly that I had been planning against you since you were a child. Why didn't you tell Li Wujiang and the others all these years?"
"What did I know back then?"
Li Qianfan replied calmly: "After I woke up from my coma, I was quickly taken away from Lingnan by Seventh Master (Seventh Elder) of the Li family village. As I was leaving Lingnan, I instinctively blocked out all the Shen family members, including Yaoyao. This is also why, after seven years, I didn't recognize Chongchong when I saw her again. I even blocked them out, who would remember what Grandma Moye said to you back then?"
"Then you—"
Su Nanyin asked again: "Why did you suddenly think of these things?"
"Because just now, when you asked me if I wanted to get a rabies vaccine, in the depths of your eyes, I saw a flash of triumph that could firmly control me."
Li Qianfan answered truthfully: "The fleeting triumph in the depths of your eyes was like a key, opening a door in the deepest part of my heart. It released things that had been suppressed by me for a long time, thus making me recall Grandma Moye's questioning of you that day. And I instantly understood how you were going to deal with me next."
Su Nanyin closed her eyes.
When she opened them again, her expression had returned to normal.
She picked up the cigarette from the ground.
*Whoosh—*
After exhaling a cloud of smoke, Su Nanyin looked at the warm midday sun and said softly, "Then tell me, how have I been meticulously planning against you?"
"Okay."
Li Qianfan replied, "You will adjust the plan you made against me before you came to Si Jiu."
"What plan did I make against you when I was in Lingnan?"
Su Nanyin's tone was leisurely as she flicked the ash off her cigarette.
A beauty is a beauty.
Even the action of flicking ash looked so elegant, even full of poetic charm.
Li Qianfan sneered: "Do you really want me to tear off your last fig leaf?"
Su Nanyin also sneered: "I've already decided to wear shackles and kneel for you, do I still care about other things?"
Li Qianfan—
Nodded and said, "Good."
When Su Nanyin learned that her Chongchong had long been secretly in love with a certain little rogue and had already given herself to him with the help of Shan Jian Ya Qing, after her shock and anger, she calmed down.
And in a short period, from the perspective of her own and her daughter's interests, she adjusted her plan.
Especially when Su Nanyin learned that Su Maomao had accidentally fallen into sin (Li Qianfan was unaware of this); Yaoyao, who only wanted to die in the Blackwater Forest, and Li Qianfan and Bai Ziyan had formed Bai Du Niao, but Mutou Tou Fa Ai Shang Ta, and then—
She finally painfully realized that her caterpillar bites had all fallen!
What's more, the caterpillar bites combined could not shake Su Ziyu, who was already recognized by both Yang Xiao and Li Xiao.
So.
How should Su Nanyin act to secure the greatest benefit for the caterpillar bites from Li Qianfan?
In Lingnan, creating an environment of "forgetting to return to Shu" for Li Qianfan was Su Nanyin's first step in her plan.
And it was undoubtedly a great success!
But just as Su Nanyin was about to start the next phase of her plan, an accident occurred.
Shen Yue, knowing that her time was running out, secretly agreed to a "Four Phoenixes Circling the Beam" formation set up by certain masters to save her, and to remain forever in Piaomiao Village.
Su Nanyin, unable to go to Piaomiao Village, thus lost her greatest reliance.
She had to change her plan and decided to go north to Si Jiu, to re-establish the Su family after many years.
Only after re-establishing the Su family could she create the basic conditions for Li Qianfan to "forget to return to Shu" again.
With the basic conditions in place, Su Nanyin began to worry again.
Su Maomao could not see the light (Li Qianfan was also unaware).
Shen Chongchong was a devoted lover, only wanting to be a submissive "simp."
Du Yaoyao, whose wood had blossomed, was a Buddhist youth who didn't want to compete with anyone.
How could such caterpillar bites secure the greatest benefit from Li Qianfan?
Just as Su Nanyin was racking her brains for the happiness of her caterpillar bites, Li Wujiang invited her to be the Deputy Manager of An Ren.
An opportunity arose!
Su Nanyin immediately decided to use the position of Deputy Manager of An Ren as an opportunity to firmly tie Li Qianfan to her caterpillar bites.
Therefore.
Su Nanyin's first opportunity to perform came after she became Deputy Manager of An Ren.
That was to replace Li Wujiang and play the villain, to kill Dai Paipai, who was highly likely to be corrupted!
For the lifelong happiness of her caterpillar bites, Su Nanyin decided she could do anything for Li Wujiang and his son.
And during this period, she maintained a warm and unvulgar ambiguous relationship with Li Qianfan through extremely skillful means.
(The four beauties all wore shorts, accompanying Li Qianfan for drinks and cards; feigning exaggerated affection by calling him "gege" to his face; even on the day Li Qianfan went on his western expedition, she placed her black silk-clad feet on him in a tea house, etc.)
No man could be unmoved by Su Nanyin's willing sacrifice; no man could resist the ambiguous atmosphere meticulously created by the beautiful empress.
Let alone the host of Original 209!
However.
Just as Su Nanyin was proceeding methodically according to her new plan, another accident occurred.
The despicable Thirteen Noble Families, to cover up their stupidity (regarding the 26 Princes' western expedition), deliberately created a scandal.
Without a doubt.
Faced with the scandal meticulously manufactured by the Thirteen Noble Families, even Su Nanyin, a super schemer, after much thought, could only choose death to prove her innocence!
It just so happened that at that time, Li Qianfan had already realized something and began to deliberately distance himself from her.
Li Qianfan's distancing meant that Su Nanyin's ambiguous plan could not continue.
If the plan could not continue, then Su Nanyin's death to prove their innocence?
Li Qianfan would only feel guilty.
And the Li family would repay all their guilt towards Su Nanyin to the caterpillar bites!
Having confirmed that her death would bring immense returns to her caterpillar bites, Su Nanyin resolutely went to the Great Wall.
Another accident occurred—
Li Qianfan actually appeared!
He not only stopped Su Nanyin from committing suicide but also, after carrying her down the Great Wall, personally confirmed the rumor between him and Su Nanyin to the spies of the Shen family in Si Jiu.
This caused Su Nanyin's original plan to become chaotic again.
But before Su Nanyin could sort out her thoughts, another accident happened!!
This accident was the secret of the "Four Phoenixes Circling the Beam" formation that Shen Huiteng told her on New Year's Eve.
Only then did Su Nanyin suddenly understand many things, realizing that her plan was not just for the caterpillar bites.
It was also for herself!
"Am I right?"
After Li Qianfan's continuous torrent of words, he raised his hand and wiped his mouth.
He was a little thirsty from talking too much.
There was even blood at the corner of his mouth.
He subconsciously glanced at the wound on Su Nanyin's leg.
Her legs were so fair!
*Tear*.
Li Qianfan tore off the hem of his shirt, bandaged Su Nanyin's wound, pulled down her leggings, and helped her put on her small boots.
After speaking these words, which were held back by a certain instinct deep in his heart, Li Qianfan's state of mind completely calmed down, and all his aggression vanished.
Actually.
Li Qianfan also knew that his increased aggression stemmed from this woman's attempt to control his destiny since he was a child.
But yet, everything she was doing for him now was from the bottom of her heart.
Su Nanyin could truly—
Wear shackles and die for him!!
She should have been hated by Li Qianfan, yet he regarded her as the closest person, a sacred and inviolable being whom he was willing to protect with his life.
Li Qianfan felt very conflicted.
Perhaps Su Nanyin was also a contradictory entity?
"You are very right."
After confirming that Li Qianfan's emotions were normal and stable, Su Nanyin nodded.
She frankly admitted: "I started planning for you when I was three and a half years old. Because I didn't want Yaoyao to fight with other women for a man. I've had enough of that kind of life in Lingnan all these years!"
