Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 117 Ziyan's twists and turns

Zi Yan shook her head and said, "I... I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Liu Ma, what's going on?" Mrs. Xie interrupted their conversation impatiently.

Liu Ma then said: "Zi Yan and I are old acquaintances. The so-called old acquaintance was before Zi Yan entered the Xie Mansion. At that time, her name was not Zi Yan, but Chen Kelan. She was a young lady from a wealthy family in Suzhou and Hangzhou. , the servant also had a daughter back then..."

Speaking of this, Mama Liu shed a few tears.

"No... Impossible, you're all making up nonsense!" Zi Yan turned pale, shaking her head with an expression of disbelief.

Liu Ma sneered and said: "You Chen family killed my daughter, don't you just admit it? If it wasn't for my poor daughter, how could you have escaped, your whole family would have been ransacked and beheaded long ago!"

"What's going on here?" Xie Chongguang looked puzzled.

Liu Ma said: "The Chen family was convicted of a felony for selling private salt back then, so they replaced Zi Yan with my daughter so that she could escape, Mr. Xiang, she is a sinner!"

Mrs. Xie and Xie Chongguang were dumbfounded, and they all stared at Ziyan in a daze. They never thought that there was such a twists and turns in this story.

"Zi Yan... is what she said true?" Mrs. Xie felt embarrassed and angry that she had been deceived by the people around her for many years.

Zi Yan closed her eyes, the old events were replaying in front of her eyes, her tears could no longer be controlled, she found her own voice after a while, and said: "Lady, she is right, I am indeed a sinner!"

Old Madam Xie gritted her teeth and said, "I have treated you well, but you actually deceived me like this!"

"Old lady!" Zi Yan suddenly yelled, "But, I was only a seven-year-old child back then. What's wrong with me? It wasn't my father who sold the illegal salt. My family was falsely accused because of the local dignitaries. Wanting to occupy my mother, my mother refused to obey, which caused such a disaster, what is wrong with my father and mother wanting to save my life?"

Ziyan recalled the scene of her parents being killed by the executioner's knife at Caishikou back then, and she still felt heart-piercing pain.

She had already decided to forget that period of time, but... why did she want to tear open her wounds again, and let her fall into hellish memories again?
She is a weak girl who can't even avenge her parents. She can only live in the world, but she still can't escape the clutches of fate!
Mrs. Xie frowned, and was a little confused for a moment. Seeing Ziyan's desperate expression, Xie Chongguang felt pity for her, walked over to support her, and comforted her: "Ziyan, you have suffered so much. Injustice?"

"If Zi Yan had half a false statement, I would be struck by lightning from the sky. If I hadn't been powerless, I would have gone to find my enemy to avenge my revenge. If I hadn't promised my father and mother to live well, why would I sell myself? To be a slave, to live till now? Prime Minister, old madam, if you dislike Ziyan’s background, you can hand Ziyan to the government and let Ziyan go to see her parents underground!”

Zi Yan was so choked up that she could barely breathe, being sad was really sad, and hating was also really hating!
Xie Wanqing also did not expect that Ziyan would have such a tragic life experience, no wonder she always evaded her words when asked about her family, as if she wanted to hide it.

But Liu Ma said: "Even if you have many grievances, my daughter is innocent, why should she be your scapegoat?"

Ziyan looked at Mama Liu, and asked coldly: "Your daughter? Why did your daughter end up in Suzhou and Hangzhou? Someone sold her into my Chen family as a slave back then, and it was a death contract!"

Liu Ma's eyes flickered, and she said: "My daughter was kidnapped and sold. I inquired many ways, and finally learned all the truth from the insiders of your Chen family. This copper coin is the only thing close to my daughter. It's her, that's why I'm sure it's her!"

Xie Wanqing asked leisurely at this time: "Mama Liu has not been in Xie's house for a day or two, why did she attack Aunt Zi at this time?"

Liu Ma's eyes flickered for a moment, and said: "Because this servant only recently found out that Zi Yan is the daughter of the Chen family back then!"

"Oh? Then who told you that Ziyan was the daughter of the Chen family back then? Aunt Zi has concealed her life experience for more than ten years and no one discovered it. How could she be discovered now?" Xie Wanqing asked curiously .

Seeing that she couldn't justify herself, Mother Liu said: "In short, what I said is the truth. I hated Ziyan, so I poisoned her to kill her. But I didn't expect to hurt the prince and the second lady by mistake. My aunt didn't know In this matter, even the antidote was made up by the servant to deceive Auntie, but the servant just couldn't bear to let the second lady be implicated!"

Liu Yuejiao looked at Liu Ma with complicated eyes, and said, "Liu Ma, why did you do this? You...you shouldn't..."

"Auntie, Mama Liu is sorry for you. You have shown great kindness to this servant, and this servant has brought you and the second young lady into trouble. You deserve death. From now on, this servant will not be able to serve you anymore. Please take care of yourself!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Ma suddenly got up and slammed into the wall, with a bang, blood spattered everywhere, and Liu Ma's body fell limply to the ground.

Both Mrs. Xie and Xie Siru were so frightened that they cried out, but Xie Wanqing just sighed. Although Mama Liu is not a good person, this kind of loyalty is extremely rare!

As vicious as Liu Yuejiao, there are also people who are so loyal, even willing to sacrifice their own lives for her sake!

Xie Wanqing thought of the spirit pivot back then, who had sacrificed herself without hesitation for her to get rid of the crime, and couldn't help but sigh even more!
Liu Yuejiao, how can you be so kind, someone loves you so much?If you have a little conscience, you should stop doing evil, otherwise the people around you will only be implicated by you, and they will all die!
"Liu Ma..." Liu Yuejiao cried out, crawled over, and hugged Liu Ma's body. It was the first time that Xie Wanqing saw Liu Yuejiao so sad.

Really sad, I can't pretend it, Xie Wanqing can see Liu Yuejiao's pain and guilt at this moment!
It turns out that she also has a heart, loves others, and feels overwhelmed by the loss of someone?
But... all of this is just the beginning, Liu Yuejiao, she will definitely see that everything she cherishes and cares about is slowly lost!
Both Liu Yuejiao and Xie Siru had to taste the pain she had experienced, bit by bit, or even feel it ten times and a hundred times!
Old Mrs. Xie was still angry, and said: "Although Mama Liu is dead, Mrs. Liu, you can be spared the crime of death, and you cannot escape the crime of living. You can't even control the people around you, and you almost caused a catastrophe. Since then , you can just sit behind closed doors in Liuxu Pavilion and meditate, and Wan'er will take over the affairs of the backyard!"

"Zi Yan, although you have been hurt by this matter, you are also the cause of Liu Ma's serious crime. I don't want to mention your life experience, but you can't stay with Xiangye any longer, go to the nunnery Pray for your parents!"

Although Mrs. Xie is also reluctant to part with Ziyan, she thinks that she has clear rewards and punishments and is impartial. She must make a verdict that convinces everyone before she can continue to be rewarded in the hands of Xie's family!
With tears streaming down her eyes, Zi Yan bowed deeply to Mrs. Xie, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, this servant has served Mrs. Madam all these years, and she has never had a second heart. Although she has concealed her life experience, it is really helpless. Please The old lady should not be angry with the servant, the servant will definitely pray to the old lady in the nunnery!"

Mrs. Xie's eyes turned red. After all, it was her beloved girl. Zi Yan did her best in serving her, and she never had the slightest dissatisfaction. She was also caring for her, and she couldn't be cruel enough to be completely indifferent.

Mrs. Xie waved her hand wearily, unable to even speak.

Zi Yan kowtowed three times to Mrs. Xie, then turned to Xie Chongguang, bowed deeply, and said: "Master Xiang, I have not been serving you for a long time, but I will never be half-hearted towards Master Xiang. I am afraid that I will not be blessed to continue to serve you, but I hope that Xiangye will always be healthy, everything will go smoothly, and you will find a confidant, and you will be in harmony!"

Hearing these words, Xie Chongguang felt extremely reluctance in his heart, the three or four points of affection he had for Ziyan seemed to have increased seven or eight points in an instant, and he wanted to help her with great distress.

"Master Xiang, let this concubine give you three kowtows too, don't think of me!" Zi Yan bowed down with tears in her eyes. Although her body was shaking, she insisted on kowtow three times.

Xie Chongguang quickly helped her up and said, "Zi Yan, I have wronged you!"

"My concubine is not wronged, the old lady has already lenient, I am grateful!" Zi Yan knew that if she showed any dissatisfaction at this time, catastrophe would be imminent, she would rather take a step back and make plans in the future!

Xie Chongguang looked at her reluctantly, but Ziyan turned to Xie Wanqing lightly, took her hand and said: "Miss, I have been taken care of by you, and you saved my life, thanks for your kindness and kindness." , I don’t dare or forget, I will pray to the Bodhisattva, bless the eldest lady in good health, and make my wishes come true!”

At the end, from the corner of the eye, she glanced at Liu Yuejiao who was still crying bitterly, some words were self-evident!

Xie Wanqing nodded, and comforted her: "Aunt Zi, take care of yourself, your body is important!"

"En!" Zi Yan nodded.

After saying goodbye one by one, Zi Yan was helped down by Xiao Yin. Mrs. Xie Lian was not in good health yet, allowing her to go to the nunnery after she was raised in the mansion was considered an extra kindness.

As for Liu Yuejiao, after losing her right arm, Liu Ma, her hatred for Xie Wanqing and Zi Yan deepened, but she also became depressed for a while because of Liu Ma's death.

And Xie Siru can't make waves by himself, the Xie family's backyard is so peaceful for the first time, Xie Wanqing feels that if it goes on like this forever, it will be really a comforting thing.

However, she knew that she would not let it go, let alone Liu Yuejiao!
This is an endless battle, she, Liu Yuejiao and Xie Siru must fight to the end!

Although it was said that she was allowed to take over the general affairs in name, Xie Wanqing knew her grandmother too well, so she would always ask her what the old man meant. At first, she had to report everything in detail. Later, Mrs. Xie probably felt relieved , I feel that Xie Wanqing is not a person who is greedy for power, and some irrelevant matters are left to Xie Wanqing to make up her own mind.

Xie Wanqing is not very interested in the management power of the Xie family, but it is a good opportunity to take this opportunity to remove some cancers left by the Liu family!It's just that everything needs to be done slowly, she can't be too showy, otherwise it will only arouse the suspicion of Mrs. Xie!
