In her previous life, the scumbag faked his death at the border. Deceived by others, she believed her feelings for him were profound. She committed suicide at his grave, following him to the afterl...
Chapter 89 If she goes to hell, she will drag her down with her!
"ah!"
Lin Tingxuan only felt a sharp pain in her wrist, and the golden hairpin in her hand lost its strength and fell heavily to the ground.
Without waiting for her to react, Song Yanxi raised her hand and slapped her hard in the face.
She used all her strength in this slap, and her fingertips were slightly numb from the shock.
Lin Tingxuan covered her face and was unable to react for a long time.
Song Yanxi looked at her disappointedly, and said with a look of deep sorrow: "Since I entered the mansion, I have been able to meet your mother and daughter's every request in the past two years. If you like the clothes and jewelry in my room, you can take them. As your sister-in-law, I have never said a word.
Ask yourself, have I ever been unfair to you in the past two years?"
Lin Tingxuan opened her mouth, but couldn't think of any rebuttal for a moment.
Because she couldn't refute it.
Over the past two years, because of her sweet talk and innocent nature, Song Yanxi almost treated her as her own sister.
Even if Lingxi Pavilion doesn't have it, as long as she reveals it, someone will buy it and send it to her courtyard the next day.
Even Mrs. Lin was not so indulgent towards her.
Song Yanxi had only heard the word "human heart is evil" from her master before, and never thought that she, an unmarried girl, could be so vicious.
In her previous life, until her soul dissipated, she still didn't understand why Lin Tingxuan, who should have been at the most innocent age, could call her sister-in-law sweetly in front of her, but secretly call her a bitch in front of Zhuang Shihan.
When she opened her eyes again, she finally figured it out.
Some people are just born bad.
Facing Lin Tingxuan's resentful eyes, Song Yanxi asked, "How did I offend you to allow you and your daughter to repeatedly use such despicable means to destroy my reputation?"
Lin Tingxuan sneered, "A fickle person..."
"Pa!" Song Yanxi slapped him again with her backhand.
"Do you dare to do it—"
“Bang!”
After a few slaps, Lin Tingxuan's face was almost numb from the pain. Her voice trembled, "My second brother will definitely kill you!"
“Bang!”
This slap was given by Yan Qing.
Her eyes were slightly red, her body trembling slightly with anger, and she gritted her teeth and said, "My daughter was not born to be abused by your Lin family!"
If Xier hadn't let the cat out of the bag today, she wouldn't have known that she had suffered so much injustice in the general's mansion.
Yan Qing grabbed Song Yanxi's hand and said angrily, "Xi'er, follow your mother into the palace to see the emperor. Today, your mother will definitely ask His Majesty to seek justice for you."
"You are not allowed to leave!" A trace of panic flashed in Lin Tingxuan's eyes, and she rushed over to stop the mother and daughter.
Mrs. Qiu said sternly, "Take your dirty hands away. Who knows if you have contracted any disease? Don't you find it disgusting?"
Feeling the disgusted looks from the people around her, Lin Tingxuan wished she could just die at this moment, but her remaining sanity reminded her that she must not die.
Even if her reputation is ruined, she wants everyone to see Song Yanxi's true character.
If she goes to hell, she will drag her down with her!
Lin Tingxuan wiped her tears, pointed her finger at Song Yanxi, and accused her, "You are the one who plotted to harm me and ruin my innocence, yet you still have the nerve to pretend to be innocent here. Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing too many bad things?
Even if I report this to the Emperor today, I will definitely expose your hypocrisy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice sounded at the door.
"There's no need to bring this up before the Emperor. If you have any grievances, just tell me."
Everyone turned around and saluted Princess Huayang.
Only Lin Tingxuan stood there stupidly, not having time to react why someone as wealthy as her would appear in the general's mansion.
Princess Huayang looked at her disheveled appearance and glanced at the nanny beside her. The nanny immediately understood and took off her cloak and handed it to her to put on.
Feeling the warmth coming from her shoulder, Lin Tingxuan's eyes became even redder. She knelt down while shedding tears and said gratefully, "Your humble servant thanks the Princess."
"Everyone, get up."
A servant brought a chair and helped Princess Huayang sit down in the courtyard.
Knowing that she was going to investigate the case on the spot, Song Yanxi ordered Zhuzhi in a voice that everyone could hear, "Have someone seal the front and back doors of the General's Mansion and not let anyone out. Ask my sister-in-law to bring the stewards of each courtyard to meet the princess."
Since it was Lin Tingxuan who sued her, it would be most appropriate to find a middleman to handle this matter.
Princess Huayang lowered her eyes, and a maid immediately came out from her side and went with Zhuzhi to handle the matter to ensure that there would be no possibility of collusion.
After everyone left, the eldest princess waved to Song Yanxi, motioning her to come over and talk.
Song Yanxi did as she was told and walked up to her and bowed.
"No need to be so polite, just sit down and talk."
Someone quickly brought a chair.
The elders, including Yan Qing, were still standing, staring at the scorching sun. Song Yanxi naturally had no reason to sit down, so she said bluntly, "Your Highness, the Princess, have anything you want to ask. I will answer everything I know."
Princess Huayang chuckled. "Look at you, why are you so nervous? I can't eat you."
As she spoke, she changed the subject and asked, "Just now I saw that you have learned excellent medical skills. Who is your teacher?"
"Your Highness, I am too kind to praise you. I only learned this by reading medical books in my spare time. It is not worthy of being presented to the public, let alone being a disciple."
"So, you are a very talented girl."
Song Yanxi lowered her eyes and said obediently, "I only learned the basics. I happened to find a book that recorded a method to relieve heart disease. I was desperate and acted rashly. Fortunately, the method was indeed effective, so I didn't cause any disaster."
The princess was delighted by her unassuming attitude and couldn't help but ask, "Have you read any books that mention a cure for leg ailments?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the air around them seemed to freeze for a moment.
Everyone only heard Song Yanxi's calm tone: "No."
Princess Huayang stared at her face for a moment, then smiled and said, "I almost forgot. You've been living in the inner chamber for the past two years, and I imagine you've had very few medical books to read."
Hearing the regret in her words, Song Yanxi guessed what she was thinking and knelt down with her skirt lifted up.
Before she could speak, the princess said, "I already know your intentions."
Song Yanxi kowtowed to her respectfully, her tone inevitably filled with excitement, "Your Highness, I thank you for your help."
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Princess Huayang did not promise her anything, so it was too early to say thank you.
However, Song Yanxi knew that the eldest princess would definitely fulfill her wish.
Because she herself was a woman trapped in an unhappy marriage. If it were not for the royal family's reputation, she would never have spared the life of that unfaithful man.
Even if she chopped him into pieces and threw him into the lake to feed the fish, it would not be enough to ease the hatred in her heart.
The premise is that what happened today really has nothing to do with Song Yanxi.
As a woman, even if Princess Huayang dislikes the behavior of the Lin family mother and daughter, she will never allow anyone to destroy the innocence of others with such dirty means under her nose.
Time passed bit by bit, and just when everyone was about to give up, Zhou had someone bring over a few tightly tied servants.
When several people saw this scene, their legs went weak and they knelt down, and they told the truth without even being interrogated.
"Please spare my life, my lord. Everything we did today was ordered by Princess Yong'an!"
