"Save the Crown Prince? That's right! How come I didn't think of that? Isn't this a ready-made act of merit?"
If I can cure the prince's illness, wouldn't I be able to ask the space for a "rain bomb"?
"Even if Li Mufeng doesn't agree to a divorce then, I can use that to negotiate with the Emperor. What's there to be afraid of then?"
Thinking of these things, "Blood Purple Rose" instantly felt better. Imagining the future, lying on the couch, eating hamburgers and drinking milk tea, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Miss, are you laughing at me?"
Xing'er's voice, choked with sobs, came from afar.
"Xing'er, what's wrong? And your face..."
"At this moment, Xing'er's clothes were disheveled and her face was swollen. Anyone with eyes could tell what had happened. Xue Ziwei's eyes immediately turned sharp."
"Waaah... Just now, when I saw that Madam was not waking up for a long time, I wanted to go to the accounting office to get some money for Madam to buy some tonics, but I... Waaah..."
Before Xing'er could finish speaking, she burst into tears. "Blood Purple Rose" frowned and glanced at Hongxia, who came in after her, noticing that she seemed hesitant to speak.
"Hongxia, what exactly happened? Who hit Xing'er?"
"Blood Purple Rose" had a cold, eerie voice; anyone who dared to hit her must have a death wish.
"Reporting to Miss, it is Zheng Yibo."
"Zheng Yibo?"
"Blood Purple Rose" was bewildered, unable to recall that such a character existed in the book.
"Has Miss forgotten? He's the accountant! The Second Madam's cousin. Just now, when Xing'er went to the accountant to withdraw money, Zheng Yibo said that since the First Madam is currently in a coma, the Second Madam is temporarily in charge of the household. Unless the Second Madam agrees, he won't let Xing'er withdraw a single penny. It's his duty."
"And you say, and you say..."
Hongxia glanced at Xing'er, then couldn't continue speaking; a suspicious blush appeared on her face. "Blood Purple Rose," however, was extremely anxious.
What else did he say?
"He said that if Xing'er could please him, he might consider it, but Zheng Yibo is already over fifty years old, how could Xing'er possibly comply? So he started to force himself on her. If it weren't for this servant girl passing by and lying that the young lady had arrived, Xing'er would probably..."
Hongxia couldn't continue speaking, and Xing'er, overwhelmed with shame and indignation, rushed towards a pillar.
"I can't live anymore, sob sob..."
“Xinger…”
Hongxia exclaimed in alarm, and "Blood Purple Rose" rushed over like lightning, finally stopping Xing'er from committing suicide.
"Enough! You're making a scene over such a trivial matter. You're a disgrace to me."
If you dare to threaten suicide again, I'll sell you off.
"Blood Purple Rose" spoke in a cold voice, and instead of comforting Xing'er like a normal person would, she launched into a tirade against her.
"Miss, your servant, sob sob..."
Xing'er was scolded until she was somewhat incoherent, but then she heard "Blood Purple Rose" say...
“Since that scumbag bullied you, you should get revenge. If you die because of this, who knows what he’ll say about you behind your back! He might even turn around and say that you tried to seduce him but failed and then committed suicide.”
The phrase "blood crape myrtle" was just a casual remark, but unexpectedly, it received approval. Hongxia nodded vigorously.
"That's right, Xing'er, you can't just die like this."
Last time, a maid named Dongmei in the manor was also taken advantage of by Zheng Yibo, just like you. After Dongmei came out, she jumped into the lake. Later, when the master found out about Zheng Yibo, he said that Dongmei tried to seduce him but failed and committed suicide by jumping into the lake.
For this reason, the second wife hung Dongmei's body in the sun for three days to dry, and finally fed it to the dogs, as a warning to all the servants to be self-aware, not to have any illicit affairs, and even less to gossip and cause trouble for their masters.
So you mustn't take your own life. If you do, you'll only be letting Zheng Yibo off easy.
"What? Is that really true?"
"Blood Purple Rose" never imagined that there was someone more ruthless than herself in the world. This second wife was truly a viper. People die, but she still humiliated a dead person like this.
"Waaah... I want to take revenge too! But he is the second madam's cousin. What can I do? Cao'er, Cuiying, and Yanzi, they didn't try to kill themselves, but what happened to them? They were all beaten to death by the second madam for reporting Zheng Yibo to the master for harassing him."
She's still accused of seduction, so whether she lives or dies, she'll suffer the same humiliation, sob sob..."
The conversation between Xing'er and Hongxia shocked "Xue Ziwei's" worldview. How could a mere accountant be so lawless?
With Mother in charge now, how can we control the Second Madam and that scumbag father Han Bingmo if we don't change the accountant? Since Zheng Yibo brought this upon himself, he shouldn't blame us for being ruthless.
"Was there anyone else who witnessed what happened today?"
"Blood Purple Rose" glanced at Xing'er and Hongxia, and Hongxia's lips parted slightly.
"No, only I passed by the accounting office at the time, and I didn't see anyone else around."
Hongxia said confidently, "Blood Purple Rose" patted Xing'er on the shoulder.
"Alright, stop crying. Since no one else saw it, if you don't say anything, I don't say anything, and Hongxia doesn't say anything, no one else will know. As for Zheng Yibo..."
A fierce glint flashed in "Blood Purple Rose's" eyes.
"I'm going to kill him."
"ah?"
Xing'er was so shocked that she forgot to sob, but Hongxia quickly stopped her.
“Young Miss, he is the Second Madam’s cousin. If you kill him, the Second Madam will not let you off.”
"You won't let me go? I don't want to let her go either! She had someone hurt my mother, and I'm looking forward to settling that score with her."
And so, "Blood Purple Rose" emerged from "Plum Blossom Garden," the murderous aura emanating from her even reaching Zhao Hu, who was guarding outside.
"Your Highness, where are we going?"
"What? You dare block my way?"
"Blood Purple Rose's" voice was as cold as an icicle, and Zhao Hu hurriedly withdrew his hand to intercept her.
"Your Highness, you misunderstand. I am here to protect you on the orders of the Prince."
"Li Mufeng asked you to protect me?"
"Blood Purple Rose" curled her lips, and the cold light in her eyes lessened.
"Is the princess going to kill someone?"
Zhao Hu guessed, and "Blood Purple Rose" raised an eyebrow.
How do you know?
"The Princess's murderous aura is so strong, it shouldn't be hard to guess! I also know who the Princess wants to kill, but if the Princess really kills that person in broad daylight, won't it arouse suspicion among the servants? Wouldn't that ruin everything..."
Having worked closely with Li Mufeng, she was meticulous and shrewd. However, before she could finish speaking, she felt a silver needle pressed against her throat.
Have you ever heard the saying, "The more you know, the sooner you die"?
Because of this, Xing'er argued with him, and as a result, Zheng Yibo beat her up. He even wanted to... wanted to..."
