Chapter 424 The Consequences of Believing You
Li Jiaojiao's face turned pale: "No..."
The wife of Duke Pingguo was filled with grievances: "It's nothing? You know better than anyone that the Duke's Mansion has lost all its assets!"
"I was also divorced by Liu Jiasheng! He took everyone away from the capital, and I am penniless! I came to you for help! I... I have nothing now. I came to you... but you actually, you actually refused to see me just to look at a small account book?"
"Why, this little account book is more important than me? Is it more important than me?"
Li Jiaojiao said anxiously: "No! That's not what I meant. Anyway... let's go inside and talk about it first!"
There are maids and old women all around, all watching the joke!
And Gu Han was in the yard not far away...
"What room do you want to enter? Now you know to invite me in? Then what were you doing just now?" Li Jiaojiao's words made her even more angry and angry. She burst into tears and waved her hands randomly. "You were just a lowly maid at the beginning. I ignored the opposition of Liu Jiasheng and others and insisted on taking you in as my adopted daughter."
"I love you more than you can control. Even though I knew the Duke's Mansion was going to collapse, I still let you leave with a dowry of 10,000 taels. Is this true?"
Li Jiaojiao's face turned pale, and she bit her lip tightly. "That, that's of course true. Mother, you are good to me, I know... I was too tired and a little uncomfortable just now. I didn't want you to worry, so I wanted you to find an inn to rest first. When I am better, I will come to see you."
Lady Pingguo's heart ached, tears streaming down her cheeks: "Then why did you ask me to go to the suburbs of Beijing? Why the suburbs of Beijing?"
Li Jiaojiao's face turned pale and she couldn't utter a word.
After a long while, he said, "Well... it's because there are too many things going on in the capital. I'm afraid that you will be laughed at by people you know, so I want you to rest in a place where no one knows you."
Lady Pingguo felt better: "And then?"
Li Jiaojiao pursed her lips: "What then?"
“How am I going to live in the future?”
Li Jiaojiao was stunned: "Anyway... our Ningguo Marquis Mansion, can't we even afford to support a relative? I will be filial to my mother when the time comes."
The wife of Duke Ping looked at her with a pale face: "How can you be filial?"
Li Jiaojiao was a little annoyed. She had already said that she would be filial, so why was she still asking how to be filial? What? Do I really want to bring her home and worship her like an ancestor?
"Anyway...I will definitely make sure my mother lives a good life and is not bullied by others."
Lady Pingguo asked tentatively, "Will you come to see me often?"
Li Jiaojiao nodded quickly: "Of course. I will visit you every now and then. Mother... let's go inside first! Or, I will personally send you out of the capital? Come on, Xuehua, go get the carriage ready!"
Lady Pingguogong was as if she had been poured with a basin of ice water. She didn't even say a word that she was leaving the capital!
Lady Pingguo collapsed instantly and screamed, "Aren't you leaving Beijing? How can you visit me every now and then? How can you visit me?"
Li Jiaojiao's face changed drastically. How did she know? Did she only tell the old lady about this?
Mother hasn't seen the old lady either, how come...
Thinking of this, she suddenly glared at Xuehua!
Snowflake curled her lips.
Li Jiaojiao was almost mad. Could it be this slut... Now was not the time to think about this. She said anxiously:
"What nonsense are you talking about...leaving Beijing? We have no plans to leave Beijing!"
Lady Pingguo looked at her blankly: "Jiaojiao, am I a fool? Or am I blind?"
She understood Li Jiaojiao's frightened reaction and the look in her eyes that was directed at Xuehua!
Li Jiaojiao wanted to hide it from me, she wanted to run away...
Lady Pingguo's eyes widened and tears fell, "Why? I've been so good to you, why do you treat me like this?"
Li Jiaojiao said in annoyance: "How have I treated you? I... I said I would take good care of you, didn't I? Why would you rather trust a maid than me?"
"Trust you? Haven't I always believed you? But now I'm suffering the consequences of believing you!" Lady Pingguo roared like she had lost her mind, "Because I believed you, and thought you were a good girl with no guilt, I adopted you as my adopted daughter!"
"Because I believe in you. When you wrongly accused Ye Caiping of stealing your hairpin at the Shen family, I knew you didn't have that hairpin, but I still believed in you in the end, which is why I kept helping you! Instead of wrongly accusing a good person!"
"Because I believed in you, I stood by you when Xia Wei and Nanny Yu said you were a suspect. I even gave false testimony for you in court! But the fact is, you actually went out that day! You went out!"
"You teamed up with Deli Bank and used your power to sell out the entire Duke Ping's Mansion! You sold me out! This is the consequence of trusting you! Li Jiaojiao, this is the consequence of trusting you—"
After saying this, Lady Pingguo's eyes widened.
Oh my god, what did she say?
Yes, in fact, she has always had these doubts in her heart...
But in the end, she still chose to believe Li Jiaojiao.
Moreover, she was unwilling to face her own choices and had been deceiving herself until now...it was all revealed.
Li Jiaojiao's face was dark: "You, you are slandering me! What do you mean you gave false testimony? That is a matter concerning the whole family... You are not a fool! That is the fact, I have never been out! Now... you have been divorced and are down and out, and you want to bite me! I have called you mother for so long... You actually treated me like this!"
Lady Pingguogong's brain buzzed again as she listened to her lies and watched her every expression.
How could she say these words without blushing or feeling her heart skip a beat?
Why is this possible?
