Chapter 1200: Wishes Fulfilled, Sisters Entwined

Shang Hongxue narrowed her eyes, coldly staring at her own sister Shang Hongchen; this time she was truly angry, not minding to punish family for the greater good.

I have let Shang Hongchen off so many times, letting her live a good life, yet she dares to ruin my plans; this cannot be tolerated, I absolutely cannot let her get away easily.

Shang Hongchen was caught, she turned her head in surprise, meeting Shang Hongxue's gaze; her heart skipped a beat, knowing she might be in trouble this time, for Shang Hongxue was truly angry.

"Hongxue, this time it really has nothing to do with me; I didn't come to ruin your plans—it was Qingmeng. If you have anything, go straight to Qingmeng."

"Hehehe." Shang Hongxue gave a hehe laugh; she's no fool, how could she believe such nonsense?

Qingmeng is still young, she can't even take care of herself—she couldn't have come up with this idea; it must be related to her sister. Shang Hongchen must have put Qingmeng up to it; otherwise she wouldn't have done it, nor would she have shown up at this exact time.

She didn't come early, she didn't come late—she purposely came at this time; it's obvious she's looking for trouble.

This score must be settled now; Shang Hongxue doesn't like to keep grudges overnight, nor does she want to let Shang Hongchen off—she believes in repaying grievances on the spot.

"Do you think I'd believe your nonsense? Shang Hongchen." Shang Hongxue said, hands on hips: "You think I don't know your little schemes? My husband finally came out of seclusion to find me—this is my time, yet you want to interfere; it's obvious you also miss him, right?"

"If that's the case, as the elder sister I naturally should consider your feelings, Brother Chuyang—you've always wanted to win her over, haven't you? This is a perfect opportunity."

To punish Shang Hongchen, she went all out.

I want this woman to know what happens when you offend me; this time I must punish her properly.

Hearing this, Chen Chuyang's face instantly broke into a smile as he stepped closer and closer to Shang Hongchen.

Shang Hongchen panicked; if that were really the case, wouldn't her sister be laughing at her? No, this absolutely cannot happen.

She could accept anything else, but not this—she didn't want to be constantly mocked by Shang Hongxue.

"Wait, don't come over, husband." Shang Hongchen knew what Chen Chuyang's approach meant; once he reached that point, she couldn't escape.

She had to stop him beforehand, couldn't let him come over.

She turned back and immediately apologized: "Hongxue, I was wrong, I really was wrong this time—please forgive me just once, okay?"

Seeing Shang Hongxue show no reaction, Shang Hongchen immediately promised: "I guarantee there won't be a next time; I truly know I was wrong this time—can you let me off?"

"Hongxue, for the sake of our sisterhood, and for all these years I've helped you—can you forgive me just this once?"

"Just this once, okay?"

She lowered her attitude as much as she could; Shang Hongchen knew that if she didn't apologize, she would face punishment—provoking her younger sister Shang Hongxue would not be easily resolved.

"Shang Hongchen, you ruined my plans—do you think a couple of apologies will make it go away?" Shang Hongxue stepped closer, narrowing her eyes.

That gaze was terrifying.

"Brother Chuyang, hurry up and act—this time I permit you to do so; I want to watch her suffer myself."

"You mustn't be too gentle, understand?"

"Give her a harsh punishment."

Shang Hongxue pointed at Shang Hongchen: "This woman must be properly punished once; otherwise I won't know who truly rules this mountain."

"She, Shang Hongxue, is the master of Longshe Shan; her word is law."

"As the Principal Wife, her dignity must be upheld and cannot be challenged."

"She wants Shang Hongchen to know that even as the Principal Wife she has a temper, and cannot be provoked again and again."

"My lady, you see—Hongxue has spoken, I can't refuse, so I must impose on you." Chen Chuyang walked over with a smirk, bent down, and lifted Shang Hongchen up.

Shang Hongchen let out a scream as her whole body was lifted; her face flushed red.

She dared not look at Shang Hongxue, nor at Chen Chuyang, let alone anyone else.

"My lady, you've been arrogant lately; it's time to punish you properly." Chen Chuyang blew warm air, teasing the woman in his embrace.

Shang Hongxue chimed in from the side: "We must punish her harshly, can't let her keep being smug."

"I was wrong, husband." Shang Hongchen lifted her head, speaking through tear-filled eyes.

Her pitiful, aggrieved look, combined with her coquettish tone, was too stimulating.

It was deadly.

Shang Hongxue's pupils widened; she stared in disbelief at Shang Hongchen before her—could this still be the older sister she knew?

The elder sister had also become bashful; this look was very familiar—wasn't it just her coquettish manner?

She had learned it from her.

"Wow, Shang Hongchen actually sneaked learned my coquettish tricks—she really mastered them."

"But that's not a reason for her to let her off."

"Shang Hongchen must be punished, or there will be a next time."

"The coming day and night will be Shang Hongchen's social death."

"She was truly miserable, truly done for, which led her to finally give up outright."

"She completely gave up."

Shang Hongxue joined the fray, and then came the scene of the two sisters vying for favor.

Three days, then another three days—after several rounds of three days passed.

Chen Chuyang gazed satisfactorily at the two ladies and said, "Ladies, are you still satisfied?"

Shang Hongxue glanced at the tormented, miserable Shang Hongchen lying in bed; these days, that woman had been harshly punished, then completely ceased struggling—during this process, her dignity, her authority as the elder sister, was trampled once again.

Time after time of trampling, time after time of torment, left her with no dignity.

"Husband, I think you're satisfied this time, right?" Shang Hongxue gave Chen Chuyang a sideways glance and said, "You've gotten what you wished for this time; my sister truly courted disaster—this counts as her own doing."

Shang Hongchen didn't want to speak; her eyes had lost all light—this time, Shang Hongxue saw her entire demeanor.

The shy scenes, the very things she didn't want anyone else to see, were all laid bare in clear view.

Chen Chuyang's mouth twitched as he tried to look unhappy, waving his hand: "Nothing of the sort—I'm not exactly happy either."

That corner of his mouth, however, could no longer be held down.

Shang Hongxue puffed out a laugh: "You, just don't hold it in—if you want to laugh, laugh out loud."

"Hahaha." Chen Chuyang threw his head back and laughed, unable to hold back any longer.

He had long wanted to laugh; he never expected that this time he would finally succeed.

His wish fulfilled; the thing he had been thinking about all along is finally completed.

He was naturally very happy, very blessed.

The thing he had been longing for is completed; Chen Chuyang is truly happy.

Everyone was happy; only Shang Hongchen was still questioning life.

He wanted to speak, wanted to retort a couple of sentences, but really had no strength.
