"Is this Meng Zhongcheng's daughter, Meng Ziyan?"
Jiang Qingluo's words exploded among the few people.
The woman who was a rich lady last year has now become a singing girl in a brothel.
"It's her."
Jiang Chuyuan lowered his eyes and looked at Song Yu.
Meng Zhongcheng had his property confiscated and was exiled because he impeached Prince Chen for forming a clique for personal gain.
"Look at what we are doing. Meng Zhongcheng has framed my father. Exile is the least he can do. He should have his entire family exterminated."
Song Yaner said viciously, looking at Meng Ziyan with contempt in her eyes.
"She's truly depraved. If I were her, I would have already run into a wall and died. She's still a singer."
Every word she said fell into Jiang Qingwan's heart.
She remembered that this woman did not disappear from the book, but was just mentioned briefly.
In the author's writing, she was the daughter of a criminal who was forced into a brothel. She wanted to die, but in the end she endured the humiliation and survived.
Because she is not just herself, she also has parents and siblings to take care of, and she also wants to clear the name of the Meng family.
Her only chance is this year's boating competition. If she wins, she can ask His Majesty to release the Meng family.
Even if he is not reinstated, he does not have to go to the bitter and cold frontier.
She tried her best and thought she had a sure win, but the appearance of the heroine shattered her last fantasy.
The heroine wins, but her family will be exiled from the capital in a month, and she will be forced to entertain clients.
She had lost hope, and during the Dragon Boat Festival, when the lights were bright, she jumped into the lake and ended her life.
With just a few strokes in the book, she described her life in which no one cared about her. But now that this person was standing in front of her alive, she realized how desperate she was.
Her pipa music was so melodious and beautiful that no one present could match it. Song Yaner, who had wanted to go on stage, had a gloomy face and did not have the courage to go up.
Because she knew she was no match for her opponent.
Meng Ziyan was not so powerful half a year ago. It seems that she has put in a lot of effort for today's competition.
only…
A shout of "I'll do it." interrupted the host's announcement of victory.
I saw a woman wearing a tight red dress, a colorful feather hairpin on her head, and a veil covering her face walking up.
As she walked, the bells on her feet made a tinkling sound, which seemed to touch people's heartstrings.
Her exotic outfit immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
The heroine finally appears. Judging from her outfit, she's going to perform the Dunhuang dance.
Isn’t her outfit a modern Dunhuang style?
The heroine's eyes were also cast on their boat. When she saw Song Yu, her eyes lit up. The two smiled at each other, showing a tacit understanding.
When he saw the Jiang family members standing next to him, especially Jiang Qingluo, a flash of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
Then she struck a pose and began to dance.
Compared to the reserved and introverted dance of this era, Ruan Hezhu's exotic dance is very passionate and unrestrained. As the bells on her feet dance, people feel unconsciously happy.
[The dancing skills are average, but the only advantage is the novelty.]
But this novelty attracted everyone's attention, and people around couldn't help cheering and applauding.
Seeing that the time had come, Ruan Hezhu gently lifted her veil, revealing her beautiful and elegant face.
This move was really brilliant. Her dance was already surprising, and when everyone was admiring and curious about her, she revealed her already outstanding appearance, which was even more stunning and unforgettable.
Sure enough, there were bursts of exclamations all around, and even Song Yu's eyes were filled with surprise and enthusiasm.
[The male protagonist is moved, but it is really unfair to sacrifice innocent people in order to make the male and female protagonists fall in love.]
When everyone was cheering for the heroine, only Jiang Qingwan noticed Meng Ziyan, who looked ashen in the corner.
Her last hope was shattered.
In fact, in terms of skills alone, her pipa is better than the heroine's dance, but the heroine's dance is fresher.
For the heroine, this is just an opportunity to become famous and attract the hero, but for Meng Ziyan, it is her hope of life.
She clearly had the opportunity to save her family. She worked so hard for so long, but it was only because of the appearance of the heroine, because she was the heroine favored by heaven, and she was just an insignificant female supporting role.
So she should give way to the heroine, even if it means sacrificing her life.
For the first time, Jiang Qingwan felt the injustice of the world because of a stranger.
Because of this resentment, she once again felt the magic power in her body expanding.
Why is this so? Is it because she feels the hardships of the little people and the unfairness of fate?
She looked at Ruan Hezhu, who was dancing gracefully in the middle with a smile as beautiful as a flower.
She closed her eyes and mobilized her magic power, and just as she was about to use it on Ruan Hezhu.
She just let out a loud "Ah..." and fell onto the stage.
She even lay face down on the platform with her entire face on the ground. When she stood up again, her face was bruised and red, and one sleeve of her clothes was torn.
She wanted to pretend nothing happened and continue, but after taking a step, she almost fell down again.
Only then did she notice that her foot had stepped on the clothes. The hem of the clothes was obviously too long, but the clothes were tailor-made for her, so how could this happen?
After a series of accidents, she had no way to jump down anymore and could only cover her face and leave.
Falling down while dancing is a big taboo on stage, and her dance has not been completed yet, which is equivalent to giving up the competition.
Meng Ziyan's face was full of surprise. She thought the situation was doomed to fail, but it actually took a turn for the better. She had originally wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the river.
She burst into tears of joy as the host announced her victory.
Everyone just thought that she was happy about winning and getting the name of Fairy Bixia. No one knew that she was feeling hopeful that her whole family could survive.
Song Yan'er continued to glare at her fiercely, "That Ruan Hezhu is really useless. He was about to win, but ended up giving it away to someone else."
If we were to say who least wanted Meng Ziyan to win, it would be the Chen Palace. After all, it was because of the Chen Palace that the Meng family ended up in this situation.
If the Meng family is forgiven, then anyone in Prince Chen's Mansion will be bullied.
Thinking of this, she looked at Song Yu, "The Meng family is guilty of slandering the prince. If Meng Ziyan pleads for mercy, it is also against the law. Your Majesty will not agree, right?"
Song Yu did not say anything. Meng Zhongcheng just said that there was insufficient evidence and it was not yet clear whether it was a false accusation.
The Meng family was confiscated and exiled because the emperor was supporting the Chen Palace.
Meng Ziyan asked the emperor for forgiveness in the name of Fairy Bixia.
The emperor would probably agree, but he would not let Meng return to his original position. He would probably let him retire and return home.
This way, you get the best of both worlds.
This is the outcome the emperor wants, but it is not what their Prince Chen wants. In their opinion, exile is a light punishment.
He replied in a deep voice.
"The Emperor will make the final decision on this matter."
