"She had a lover at that time, and they were even talking about marriage, but they didn't end up together. That person also died at the hands of your grandfather... Because of this, the queen almost went crazy."
"Later, she relied on her own willpower to come out, and step by step, she established a firm foothold in the hidden family. At the beginning, she didn't think of exchanging her position by hurting the eldest lady, but the eldest lady refused to listen and insisted on researching things that she shouldn't research. The queen privately advised her many times to stop. The eldest lady didn't listen!"
"At that time, various forces put pressure on the Queen to come forward to resolve the matter. The eldest daughter would definitely die. Even if she didn't die at the hands of the Queen, she would die at the hands of someone else. The Queen considered it for a long time before taking action. She didn't want the eldest daughter to die at the hands of outsiders..."
Shadow spoke with great emotion, slowing down his voice by several notes, like an elder who knows the inside story and gently instructing a reckless younger generation.
"She didn't sleep the night she made the decision. She was waiting for the young lady to admit her mistake and agree to stop her research. But she waited all night but didn't get a call from the young lady, which led to the tragedy..."
Qiao Nian understood and said nonchalantly, "You are telling me that not only Nie Qingru is wrong, but my mother is also wrong."
Shadow wanted to express exactly what she said, but he had to pretend: "I just want to tell you that any incident is not caused by one party, but by both parties. You shouldn't just blame the Queen for her mistakes. If you were in her position, you would understand how much pressure she endured for the young lady, and how she always wanted to give her a chance to live!"
"Ms. Qiao, she is not a heartless person!" Shadow said earnestly, and it was obvious that he really wanted to convince Qiao Nian.
"Pfft." Qiao Nian couldn't help laughing when she heard his heartfelt words: "So she did nothing wrong. Even if she did, it was someone else who forced her to do it. Just like last night, it was me who forced her to do something to Ye Wangchuan..."
"Last night..." Shadow choked, frowning and staring, "Miss Qiao, the Queen didn't do anything to you. She just wanted to teach you a lesson. Just like the elders in the family want to teach the younger generation a lesson when they see that they are disobedient. It's just that she has been in a high position for a long time, so the intensity of her teaching was a little heavier."
"Okay. You're right!" Qiao Nian was too lazy to argue with him, so he simply gave him his theory back: "Then I was a little too strong. You, an elder who values friendship and loyalty, shouldn't hold it against a junior, right?"
“…” Shadow didn’t expect her to say that and was left speechless.
Seeing Qiao Nian was about to hang up the phone.
He didn't care about anything else and shouted to stop her: "Miss Qiao, the Queen is your grandmother after all! You can't treat her like this, or you will be punished! If you don't do good deeds for yourself, you should do good deeds for the elderly in your family."
When Qiao Nian heard Yingzi's voice coming from the other end of the phone, she had already thought about what shameless words the other party would say, but she did not expect Yingzi to refresh her cognitive limits again and again and be even more shameless.
He actually had the nerve to bring up his good deeds for Jiang Wei to plead for Nie Qingru. He was really calculating. At the same time, he also hit Qiao Nian's sore spot accurately.
Shadow suddenly turned cold when he heard the girl's voice.
"Can you mention my family again?"
"… "
Shadow secretly cried out that he had said the wrong thing.
