Chapter 25 Biting Each Other

Perhaps it was Zhao Shiqing's fleeting chuckle that was too dazzling, and it hurt Nie's sensitive and fragile heart.

What is she proud of?

No, this was a mockery, a mockery of her, a widow. Her husband's body was still warm, but she was being trampled under the feet of her own daughter. She couldn't even protect her own sister!

On one side was her dying sister, and on the other side were her arrogant eldest daughter and ungrateful adopted daughter. The sorrow in Nie's eyes instantly shattered and turned into bits of hatred.

She gritted her teeth, her eyes swept across Zhao Shiqing and fell on Zhao Yunnuan's face.

"If you still call me mother, then I will release your second aunt. Otherwise, don't blame me for not recognizing you as your daughter!"

From the moment Nie came in, Zhao Yunnuan knew what would happen next. Faced with Nie's condemnation, she chose to ignore it.

She just looked at Nie Qionghua quietly, her eyes like a cold pond in late autumn, without ripples, yet bottomless.

Meeting those eyes, Nie Qionghua couldn't help but want to hide herself, but she couldn't!

Whether it was Zhao Yunnuan, Zhao Shiqing, or even her good sister Nie, they were all putting her in danger. Whether they wanted her to die or to rescue her, she had no way to escape now!

Nie Qionghua was filled with hatred. She hated Zhao Yunnuan who had no regard for family affection, and she also hated Zhao Shiqing who had pushed her to this point. She even hated Nie who wholeheartedly wanted to protect her.

The jewel in the Nie family's crown is nothing more than this!

So what if she trains men with great care? What else can she do besides putting effort into men?

When Prince Liang was alive, she was the only favorite in the palace. The concubines in the palace either died of depression or became monks. There was not even a single illegitimate son or daughter in the palace.

But so what?

Before the King of Liang's body was even cold, she had already lost power. She couldn't even manipulate her own daughter. What good was she? She was just a waste!

Unfortunately, Nie Qionghua, who had just escaped death from a rat's mouth, now had half her life left. She could only keep her hatred in her heart. She didn't even need to pretend. She was now too weak to even speak.

"Sister...I didn't...I was forced..."

Nie came in late and did not hear what Nie Qionghua said before. Now she thought that Nie Qionghua was forced by Zhao Yunnuan and Zhao Shiqing, and she became even angrier.

"This is how you treat your elders. Where are your upbringing? Where are your conscience? Someone, help my aunt out!"

There was silence all around, even Nanny Zheng didn't move. No one went to help Nie Qionghua, who was still crawling on the ground like mud.

"Old Zheng, don't you listen to me?" Nie asked.

When her name was called, Nanny Zheng could only close her eyes and walk over with her head held high. However, before her hand touched Nie Qionghua, she was startled.

What did she see?

It's a mouse!

Not just one, but at least ten, running towards this side!

Even though Nanny Zheng has been a servant all her life, she has been the head maid of the Nie family since she was a teenager. Later, she became Nie's dowry nanny. She usually has little maids to serve her. Although she is not as good as the ladies, she has never had to do housework. She can't even remember how many years it has been since she last saw a mouse!

Suddenly seeing so many fat rats, Madam Zheng felt her scalp tingling and her legs going weak. After all, she was old, so she sat down on the ground.

At her age, she is most afraid of falling.

But the rat was getting closer and closer. Nanny Zheng ignored the pain in her body and crawled back to Nie.

In fact, even if Nanny Zheng didn't run away, the rats would have ignored her.

Although not many people came this time, they were all skilled workers. The one leading the way was the first one who successfully climbed onto Nie Qionghua's head. Because it performed well last time, the cat boss not only accepted it as a younger brother, but also made it the leader (I, a mouse, can also become a thousand-mile horse). This means that in the Prince Liang's Mansion, it will be the one who calls the shots in the future.

As for the fleeing Madam Zheng, the boss didn't even glance at her and went straight to Nie Qionghua as if he knew the way.

If we say that Nie Qionghua's previous aversion to rats was just instinctive, it would be like her aversion to cockroaches and bedbugs.

So now, in Nie Qionghua's mind, mice are as powerful as lions and tigers.

It’s so so scary!

As soon as the boss came into Nie Qionghua's sight, she was completely defeated.

What princess, what sister, what plan, what thoughts, at this moment they are not even as good as a mouse's tail!

"Don't come over here, don't come over here, Zhao Shiqing, get your cat to chase them away, quickly!"

Zhao Shiqing rolled her eyes and asked, "Why don't you call me a bastard now?"

I am neither your grandma nor your biological mother, so I won’t spoil you!

So Zhao Shiqing looked at Xiao Yao with a look full of encouragement, my demon, you can do it!

The little demon understood what he meant and immediately yelled at the mice: [Ah Wu~ Ah Wu~]

The mouse running at the back was so scared that he peed his pants. He had agreed to let Lunjia be his little brother, but why did he come up with Ah Wu again? It scared the mouse out of his wits!

Nie was also stunned by the scene before her. She was so frightened that she was shaking and swaying, wishing she could faint immediately.

But how could Zhao Shiqing miss this opportunity?

This grand drama cannot be without anyone but the Nie family as an audience.

She flashed to Nie's side, pushed Nanny Zheng away, and held Nie's waist. She wanted to faint, but that was not possible.

Nie was stunned and wanted to break free, but Zhao Shiqing's hands seemed to be attached to her body. She couldn't break free and could only close her eyes tightly.

She could choose not to see, but she could not choose not to hear. Nie Qionghua's screams, accompanied by her pleas for mercy, were like heavy hammers hitting her, like an invisible Shura field. The invisible fear was like surging waves, and she was like a small boat on the crest of the waves, and she didn't know when she would be beaten to pieces.

"You don't have to tell the truth. You're already dead anyway. There must be people who are hoping for your death. If you die, all the blame will be borne by you alone."

Nie was startled. The voice came from next to her ear. It was Zhao Shiqing, the ungrateful bastard.

She was so bold that she threatened Qionghua in front of her. She didn't care about Qionghua as her aunt, nor did she care about her mother.

Nie was about to open her mouth to reprimand, but she heard Nie Qionghua's voice.

"I said... I said everything... I can't be the only one to die... I can't... Everyone has to die... Everyone has to die..."

Before Nie Qionghua could finish her words, Zhao Shiqing asked, "Why? Did you have other helpers in the kidnapping of the little princess?"

Nie was stunned and couldn't help but open her eyes. From her angle, she saw Zhao Shiqing's profile.

The fifteen-year-old girl still has a hint of youthfulness between her eyebrows, but she is already a little beauty.

Nie was in a trance for a moment. If her little daughter were still alive, she would probably be so beautiful.

She struggled to move her eyes away from Zhao Shiqing's face and looked at Nie Qionghua, and was immediately startled.

There were rats all over Nie Qionghua's head and body!

Nie hurriedly closed her eyes, and at this moment, Nie Qionghua's voice drilled into her ears like a poisonous snake.

"That year, Concubine Liu got pregnant... The midwife said she was expecting a boy... My sister cried bitterly... and asked me to help her... So I asked Aunt Zhang to bribe the people around Concubine Liu... and replaced her pregnancy-preserving medicine... Concubine Liu had a miscarriage..."

Nie was shocked and furious, even ignoring the terrifying nature of the rat: "You are the one who caused Concubine Liu's miscarriage. It has nothing to do with me!"
