CHAPTER 722: CHAPTER 724: COWARDLY PEOPLE, DARE TO KILL?

Qin Yuan’s whole body was tense.

Mo Jiantao pronounced each word distinctly, "That person, it was you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuan’s heart was already a frazzled mess, but her face still feigned composure.

She pulled at the corners of her lips and reached out to soothe Mo Jiantao, "Why would you still have such a dream..."

"It was you, wasn’t it?" Mo Jiantao gripped Qin Yuan’s shoulders, his eyes boring into her, as if afraid to miss the slightest change in her expression.

Qin Yuan’s face had long turned pale; she tried to explain, "How could you think that, it’s just a dream..."

"It was you!" Mo Jiantao’s voice suddenly soared to the verge of breaking, "Wasn’t it? Tell me, was it or wasn’t it!"

Qin Yuan subconsciously wanted to deny it, but Mo Jiantao insisted, "It was you!"

Qin Yuan grabbed Mo Jiantao’s hand, "Jiang Gao, it wasn’t me, it really wasn’t me, it was Sha Ling, you’ve known this all along, haven’t you?"

Mo Jiantao’s eyes were bloodshot, "Really? Then what was it that you put in my food all those years ago?"

Qin Yuan was thoroughly panicked, "I... I didn’t!"

"You were newly pregnant, the baby was already forming, a boy, and I was overjoyed. So you thought you were secure, you planned to poison me, frame Sha Ling for it, make me hate Sha Ling to my core..."

His words were so vivid and certain, as though he had witnessed them firsthand.

Qin Yuan’s body trembled almost imperceptibly.

"I saw it, Qin Yuan, I saw it all!"

Qin Yuan’s mind was in disarray, but she still clung to some semblance of rationality, "Those were just tonics for you, I’m not as malicious as Sha Ling, Sha Ling hates you, but I don’t, I can’t even find enough time to love you, Mo Jiantao. When I was in that situation back then, you didn’t despise me, you loved me so much, and I loved you too. How could I possibly harm you..."

Mo Jiantao felt an unprecedented disgust and pushed her away with a shove, "Tonics? Do you think I’m an idiot?"

"Really, it’s true!" Qin Yuan cried out, "Don’t you know what kind of person I am? My temperament is so timid, if I had the guts to do such a thing, how could I..."

"You, timid?" Mo Jiantao laughed out loud, "Would a timid person dare to kill?"

Qin Yuan’s body jolted.

Murder...

Back then, she had been cornered, accidentally killing her own husband.

But it wasn’t intentional!

Crying out, Qin Yuan said, "You clearly knew he was bad to me, I never meant to kill him, I really didn’t, he beat me so bad I nearly died, I couldn’t take it anymore, Jiang Gao, you know I didn’t do it on purpose!"

"I know," Mo Jiantao responded coldly, "After you killed someone, relying on my protection, you showed no remorse. After getting rid of your former husband’s family, you crawled into my bed of your own accord. Have you forgotten all that?"

Qin Yuan felt a chill throughout her body.

These were things from so long ago, why was he dredging up such old grievances?

Mo Jiantao continued, "Sha Ling hates me, but she also loves me. The thing she lacks most is patience. Mo Shu was right; if it had been a one-time destruction of the reproductive system, the repercussions would have been immense. Yet I lost this ability without realizing it. To do such a thing, Sha Ling simply doesn’t have the patience!"

Qin Yuan shrunk back under the shouting.

Biting his teeth, Mo Jiantao suddenly yanked up her collar, "It was you!"
