Yuan listened to the sound of her footsteps as she left angrily, and slowly smiled, but this smile was a little too sad.
Over the years, it wasn't that she couldn't win over Chen Linglong, but she felt that if she had to fight to win a man back, what was the point of having him
She was extremely wrong and would never forgive herself in her life. She should have taken Zi'an away from the Prime Minister's Mansion long ago, but she allowed herself to become decadent. Her daughter would die, and she and Chen Linglong were both murderers.
Chen Linglong deserves to die, and she deserves to die too.
Therefore, there is nothing to be attached to this life. If she can do more for Zi'an now, she will not hesitate even if it means sacrificing her life.
After Madam Linglong left, the old lady ordered people to send Yuan away again, but Zi'an insisted on having someone bring Nanny Yang to take Yuan away.
The old lady did not make things difficult for her and ordered someone to invite Nanny Yang over.
When Nanny Yang saw Zi'an returning and noticed that Yuan was blind, she knew that a lot of things must have happened in between. She did not ask, but silently followed Zi'an's instructions and took Yuan away.
The old lady sent the servants away again, leaving only Prime Minister Xia and Aunt Lan Yu in the main hall.
The door closed, and the flickering lights in the room suddenly stabilized. Zi'an's shadow was reflected on the wall. The small figure reflected on the wall looked like a huge monster.
The old lady stared at Zi'an for a long time before she spoke, "Zi'an, how did grandma treat you in the past?"
Her face looked particularly old under the light. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and the dark brown spots piled up together, like two whirlpools of black rotten leaves.
Zi'an raised his lips and sneered, "What do you think, old lady? In the past, Zi'an could not call you grandma. In front of others and behind others, he could only respectfully call her old lady."
"How dare you!" Prime Minister Xia thought that the old lady had already spoken to her in a humble manner, and that she should be ungrateful enough but she had the audacity to make sarcastic remarks in such a way.
The old lady stretched out her hand to suppress it, and smiled faintly, "Zi'an, you are a smart child. Grandmother has ignored you in the past. Of the three children in the Xiangfu, you and Wan'er are the most promising. Wan'er is about to marry the prince, which will be of great benefit to you, isn't it?"
Zi'an didn't know what this old fox was up to, but she kept in mind one thing: when a weasel pays a New Year's visit to a chicken, it never has good intentions.
She did not answer the old lady, but just kept looking at her. Until today, they had never mentioned Linlin, as if Linlin had never appeared in this family.
The old lady didn't seem to be annoyed, and continued, "Grandmother is old, and the Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely rely on you in the future. Your father only has one son, your brother Linlin, and he is a moron. If you sisters are successful, you can also bring up your brother in the future, right?"
Everyone in the mansion knew that Xia Zian was only good with Xia Lin. Zian just felt sad. Linlin was brought up just because they wanted to use him to hit her weak spot.
Zi'an couldn't suppress his anger and said coldly, "What on earth does the old lady want to say? Why don't you just speak frankly?"
The old lady had been speaking softly, but her eyelids twitched a few times when she was rebuked so coldly. She began to slowly become angry, but she still controlled herself well and said kindly, "Okay, in that case, grandma won't beat around the bush. Grandma knows that you are an excellent doctor. Although I don't know where you learned your medical skills, grandma is very proud of you. Although you are innocent of what happened tonight, your sister is also innocent. She was harmed by her mother. Now her appearance is ruined, which will hinder her future career. Grandma hopes that you will treat her for the sake of our sisterhood until her appearance is restored."
Zi'an didn't think that the old lady would be so naive as to dare to let her treat Xia Wan'er.
But what is the mystery behind this? Zian also wants to know.
She pretended to hesitate, "Heal her?"
Prime Minister Xia said calmly, "You hurt her, isn't it natural for you to heal her? An unmarried girl is so cruel, even her own stepmother and sister can be so cruel, do you really think you are not wrong?"
Zi'an sneered, his eyes looking at Prime Minister Xia through a layer of mist, "I hurt them and their mother, and you stood up for them. Your first wife, Yuan, was thrown out of the carriage by them and her mother and daughter and injured her head, leading to blindness, and you didn't even ask a question. Am I cruel or are you cold-hearted? I say everyone stop pretending. I won't treat Xia Wan'er. My greatest pleasure is watching her face rot away bit by bit!"
"That's enough!" Prime Minister Xia slammed the table and said angrily, "Rebellious girl, do you really think you are the regent princess? Even if the decree is really issued, you are not married yet. As long as you stay in this mansion, you still have to eat my food and live in my house. It's easy for me to kill you!"
"Really?" Seeing him turn hostile, Zi'an felt more at ease. "It was indeed easy for you to kill us mother and daughter before, but it's different now. You can't be sure that you can escape unscathed after killing us. How can the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou be so reckless? If you are not sure, you won't do it, and I will definitely not let you wait until the day when I am sure."
Prime Minister Xia stood up suddenly, anger swept over him in an instant, and with anger there was an indescribable fear, "Do you think the Regent can really protect you? Even if he is at the peak of his career and has great power in his hands, he may not be able to shake me. God has blessed me for many years, and he will still stand by my side now."
Zi'an sneered and shook his head, staring at him, with a raging fire in his eyes, "From the moment you forced me into marriage, I knew you didn't treat Xia Zi'an as your own daughter. When you failed to force me into marriage, you wanted to kill me, plead guilty to the Queen, and exonerate the Prime Minister's Mansion. You found someone to frame my mother and poisoned me. You didn't leave me any chance to survive. I have struggled to this day and can still stand in front of you. It's not because I'm lucky, but because you, Prime Minister Xia, have run out of luck. If God is still on your side, I won't appear in front of you again."
She came here for revenge!
After saying that, Zian turned around and left!
She didn't want to hear him talk anymore. Although her heart had grown cold, the emotions left in her mind by the original owner, Xia Zian, would still occasionally influence her.
No matter what conspiracy they have, no matter what they are planning now, she doesn't want to pay attention to it, because no matter what, the conspiracy and calculation will continue to attack her and her daughter.
Their methods will only become more vicious.
After Xia Zian left, the old lady swept the teacup off the table, her face livid with anger, "How shameless! How can we keep such a person?"
"Mother, where did the dagger in her hand come from? Even Taifu Liang is so afraid of it." Prime Minister Xia asked worriedly.
"I don't know," the old lady shook her head and took a deep breath. "I wanted to coax her first, but I didn't expect her to be so stubborn. We can't wait any longer. Let Chen Linglong do it in two days. Otherwise, once the decree of marriage comes down, it will be difficult for us to act."
"Everything has been arranged over there." Prime Minister Xia thought of Yuan, "But she is blind now, is she afraid..."
"There's no point in being afraid. Even if someone makes guesses, it's a foregone conclusion and there are witnesses. What can they do to our Prime Minister's Mansion?" A hint of viciousness and determination flashed in the old lady's eyes.
