Chapter 29: Sisters Betray
The prince helped Fang Lingchu up.
Said "Princess Ding'an, please get up quickly."
Then he asked the others to stand up, glanced at the old woman on the ground and said, "Don't say that the princess just had you beaten. Even if the princess had you beaten to death, you should still be grateful."
The prince's aura was fully displayed, and he was intimidating without even being angry. He just glanced at the woman, but the words he spoke were extremely cold.
Fang Lingchu stood calmly behind the prince, but in her heart she said to the system: [The prince is actually quite good when he is not in love.]
The system echoed: [As long as your country's fortune remains normal, the Crown Prince may actually become a wise ruler.]
Everyone heard a woman's voice again, but with the prince present, no one dared to say anything.
At this time, people from Yingtian Prefecture also arrived.
Lord Zhang of Yingtian Prefecture first bowed to the Crown Prince and Fang Lingchu, then asked, "Who is going to report to the official?"
Fang Lingchu raised her hand sheepishly and said, "It's me."
When Lord Zhang saw that it was Fang Lingchu, he glanced at the prince standing there, and beads of sweat streamed down his forehead.
He had just finished handling a case and was about to go back to rest when he heard someone say that a woman had drowned in Feihe, so he had to hurry over.
There was actually someone who dared to drown a woman right under the prince's feet.
Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, there has been a rule that no matter what the situation is, women cannot be drowned at will.
He didn't expect that such a thing would happen right under the prince's feet. He felt that his official hat was in danger.
Although he did not go to court, he had heard some rumors about Fang Lingchu.
Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is involved. If he can't handle this matter properly...
Lord Zhang looked at the kneeling woman and a young girl.
The woman's hair was wet, probably because she had just been tied up and thrown into the river, and her mouth was still trembling.
Another woman wearing gold and silver was still shouting that she was wronged.
Lord Zhang could only set up a court in the wild and asked, "Who is here? What grievances have you suffered? Tell the truth."
At this time, Fang Lingchu's voice rang out again: "Guagua, I see that Ma Caidie's eyes are dull and she has a suicidal mind."
The system replied: [That’s right, she doesn’t want to live anymore.]
Fang Lingyan asked doubtfully: [What happened to her that left her with no hope of survival?]
When Mrs. Ma, who was standing next to her, heard that her daughter didn't want to live, she burst into tears.
Ma Caidie didn't react when she heard Fang Lingchu's "inner voice". When Lord Zhang asked her, she said nothing and looked like she wanted to die.
The woman here said, "I am Wang Lin, the mother of Mr. Wang. Ma Caidie married into our Wang family a year ago and has been childless ever since. Today was supposed to be my son's concubine, but who knew this bitch would actually cheat on me in the room? I was so angry that I had her drowned in a pond. I didn't mean to do that. Please be careful, sir."
When Lord Zhang heard what Wang Lin said, he frowned and turned to ask the silent Ma Caidie, but the other party still didn't say anything and looked as if she let it go.
At this time, Fang Lingchu and the system's voices continued: [Ma Caidie, married Wang Qi a year ago. After all, Ma Caidie is the daughter of General Pingxi. Although she is a concubine's daughter, her mother died early, so she has always been recorded under the name of her legitimate mother. How did it become like this now?]
The system said: [Host, look at this... ]
Then everyone heard Fang Lingchu's clicking sounds.
Everyone: What did you see? Tell us quickly, we all want to hear it.
[Isn't this Ma Caidie thinking that Ma Xiu'er's disfigurement was caused by her?]
Everyone: General Pingxi’s eldest daughter is disfigured, no wonder she has never married.
Ma Caidie only reacted when she heard her elder sister's name.
But he just moved his eyes, and life slowly returned to his eyes.
When the prince saw Ma Caidie react to his sister's name, he gave the person next to him a look.
Fang Lingchu continued to flip through the pages and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder this is how the misunderstanding between the two of them came about."
Ma Caidie was a little confused. What misunderstanding? Between her and her elder sister?
While Ma Caidie was lost in her memories, Fang Lingchu continued, “Ma Caidie and Ma Xiuer have had a close sisterly relationship since childhood, and Ma Caidie has always loved sticking to her older sister. Ma Xiuer is also very kind to her younger sister, and always lets Ma Caidie pick out any good things first.”
Later, a little cousin came to the house. This cousin showed special interest in Ma Caidie and was very nice to her. Her sister Ma Xiu'er didn't care at first, but later found out that the two of them were so close that Ma Caidie had forgotten her own birthday.
Ma Caier felt very sad, and when she went out for a walk, she encountered refugees. She and her car fell into a trolley, and she fell face first on the ground. She was dragged for a few steps, and her face was severely scratched. Even if it healed, it would leave a large scar, and she could not go out.
When Ma Xiuer woke up and knew that she was in this state, she wanted to die. The cousin played the role of an older sister and comforted Ma Xiuer. Ma Xiuer gradually got better under the comfort of the older cousin.
Ma Caidie was beaten half to death by Madam Ma and left in the woodshed. Ma Xiuer was very sad to see that she was injured and did not even come to see her. The two sisters gradually drifted apart due to various reasons, and Madam Ma played an indispensable role in this.
Ma Caidie found that her sister disliked her less and less, and the servants in the mansion looked down on her less and less. Her life became worse and worse. At the same time, Madam Ma intentionally or unintentionally let the servants bully her, making her a weak and pitiful little girl. Even so, she still worked hard every day and prepared birthday gifts for her sister every year.
Ma Xiuer also slowly opened up her heart and prepared to talk to her sister, but all this was broken by the appearance of Wang Qi.
Ma Caidie discovered that her sister had fallen in love with a scholar. Ma Caidie found that the scholar was only good-looking and liked to visit brothels. He pursued her sister just for her generous dowry. Ma Caidie immediately told Mrs. Ma. Mrs. Ma's persuasion was futile, so she let Ma Caidie seduce Wang Qi directly. Wang Qi immediately took the bait and married Ma Caidie.
Ma Xiuer was betrayed by her lover and sister and fell seriously ill. She later decided not to get married and became a nun.
When Fang Lingchu said this, everyone felt mixed emotions.
But no one dared to express their opinions, and they just whispered: No matter what the reason was, she seduced her own brother-in-law, so it is understandable to say that she seduced others.
Onlooker 1: That’s right. I think she must have fallen in love with Mr. Wang, and she said that on purpose to let Mrs. Ma marry her.
Onlookers 2: I think that must be the case. Tsk tsk tsk, a woman like this should be drowned in a pond. It’s not a pity for her to die.
Onlooker 3: Miss Ma is so good to her, but she still tries to steal someone else’s husband.
Crowd Eating 4: A concubine's daughter is a concubine's daughter. She has the blood of a lowly person in her bones, even if she is educated in a big family.
Someone heard her say this and asked: What do you know that we don't?
The man said, "I also heard it from the second daughter of my second aunt's grandmother's son, who was working as a maid for General Pingxi. She said that the second daughter's mother used dishonorable means to get into the general's bed."
Everyone was surprised and told everyone what they knew.
