Secret Lovers of Senior Officials: Alipay for Marriage

She sits, she stands.

She looks up, she looks down.

Yan Xixi only has one skill, and that is to observe words and expressions.

Liu Daqing didn't mean to let her sit down at all, so she understood that it was a kind of psychological deterrent: people standing would always be nervous and talk incoherently, as if they were inferior to others invisibly. Either make you kneel or make you stand, there is absolutely no reason for you to sit upright.On the contrary, the presiding judge was sitting in a high hall, condescending, not angry and pretentious. When a timid person sees this kind of battle, he will faint first. How dare he make a mistake?

In this highly hierarchical country, Empress Dowager Liu obviously knows this well—or perhaps, this is how she has always lived.

Yan Xixi's heart is like a mirror, so she just stood up straight.

Liu Daqing stared at the gauze on her forehead, and said slowly, "What's the matter with the injury on your head?"

That was the theme of her visit today——Zhou Ting took the lead, she was in the army, and it was clear that her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were working together to expel Xiaosan.

"I... I accidentally fell down..."

She lowered her head, quietly stretched out her hand and carelessly brushed away a strand of hair covering her eyes, Liu Daqing immediately saw the bruises and bruises on her wrist clearly.

The old lady's brows frowned even deeper: "Did I accidentally fall? I accidentally fell so badly? And the injury on my hand, also fell by myself? Where did I fall?"

She murmured: "I...I..."

She lowered her head and dared not say anything.

Liu Daqing had already figured it out in his mind, and asked again: "Why does Donglin ask you to go to university?"

She did not hide anything, and briefly explained the past between herself and Wang Donglin, including how they met each other, how they buried their mother, how they taught themselves to study, even the jewelry and checks they gave...not a single lie.

Liu Daqing nodded secretly, this was almost exactly what she knew.

It was always like this at first, the girl was young and beautiful, the man was very generous in money, and it was logical to trade money and sex.

She was not polite, and went straight to the point: "Donglin is obviously very special to you. You know, he has never been so nice to other women, and he is willing to regret the marriage because of you, but why didn't you fall in love with him?"

That was the core question—the murderous look and doubts that the empress dowager brought with her the moment she entered the door: How could you be so delicate, why didn't you fall in love with my son?

Yan Xixi was surprisingly calm, her voice was very clear: "No, he never loved me!"

Liu Daqing was taken aback: She said "he never fell in love with me"—not "I never fell in love with him"—literally, but the order and meaning were very different.

"Why do you say that?"

Her gaze fell on her bruised and purple arm inadvertently again, and Liu Daqing's gaze followed her, and fell on her forehead again.

——If you really love someone, would you beat her like this?

That question was silent.

"It was a deal between us from the beginning..."

Yan Xixi lowered her head completely: "He told me from the very beginning that he would get bored soon, and would let me go when he got bored. I also knew myself, knowing that I was not worthy of him at all, and it was impossible for a crow to become a phoenix. He was tired of him before I graduated from university, and he was rarely at home at that time. We have never had any contact with each other for more than half a year after I left. I don’t know who he was with during this period. He and Zhou Ting I didn't even know about the divorce..."
