Chapter 146 Min Yuexi's Tragic Past Life
Min Qiaoshi trembled all over as she listened, but she couldn't believe it.
How is this possible? If all of this is true, is Min Yuexi dead? Didn't she know to ask her family for help?
Rather than making her believe everything Min Yuexi said, it's better to make her believe that it was all a lie Min Yuexi fabricated to deceive her into forgiving her!
Seeing the doubt in Min Qiao's eyes, Min Yuexi looked bitter: "I know, Grandmother must want to ask me why I didn't tell the family about it."
"Hehe, I'd like to too. But I don't dare!"
"Lu Ming has all sorts of poisons! He showed me the dangers of those poisons and the horrific state of those who were poisoned!"
"He threatened me that if I dared to go home and say a bad word about him, he would fight to the death and wipe out the entire Min family!"
"Not only that, he poisoned me multiple times, making me experience what it means to be in a living hell, to suffer unbearable pain!"
"Many times, whenever I thought I was going to die, he saved my life with the antidote!"
"Time and time again, until finally, I became afraid, I backed down, and I completely lost the ability to resist under his varied and ingenious poison attacks!"
"I hate him, but I dare not defy him!"
"I want to die, but I'm guarded by his men all day long, and I don't even have the right to die!"
"So, under Lu Ming's guidance, hatred for my grandmother became the only support in my painful life!"
"If it weren't for my grandmother, I wouldn't have married Lu Ming!"
"If it weren't for my grandmother, I wouldn't have gone through all this suffering!"
"It was my grandmother who forced me to marry Lu Ming; it was my grandmother who pushed me into the fire!"
"I hate my grandmother! I'm in unbearable pain, and I want my grandmother to suffer a fate worse than death!"
...
Min Yuexi recounted her tragic past life and analyzed her resentment towards Min Qiaoshi in that past life.
Only at this moment, seeing Min Yuexi crying in pain and trembling all over, did Madam Min Qiao finally believe that everything Min Yuexi had said before was true and had actually happened to her!
It was only at this moment that she realized that what she called doing what was best for Min Yuexi in her past life was not truly doing what was best for her!
What she imposed on her was not only her wishful thinking but also her arrogance!
She thought everything she did was for Min Yuexi's good, but in reality, everything she did was for the reputation of the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion! It was all to protect the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion for the man she loved, Min Ji!
So, in her past life, she was the one who wronged Min Yuexi? She was the one who pushed Min Yuexi into the fire?
Therefore, Min Yuexi and others poisoned her and took advantage of her misfortune to mock and ridicule her. She deserved it and had only herself to blame.
Did she really do something wrong in her past life?
At this moment, Min Qiaoshi was plunged into self-doubt.
At some point, Min Yuexi crawled forward on her knees and reached out to grab Min Qiaoshi's skirt.
When Min Qiao came to her senses, she looked down and saw Min Yuexi, her face covered in tears, looking up at her with a pleading expression.
"Grandmother, let's leave the things from our past life behind!"
Min Yuexi pleaded, "In this life, let's protect our family and the Marquis's mansion together, okay?"
Looking at Min Yuexi, who appeared disheveled yet remarkably open-minded, Min Qiaoshi really wanted to grant her request. She felt she was just a hair's breadth away from doing so.
However, she is not the same person she was in her past life! In this life, she only wants to selfishly live for herself!
Regardless of whether what she did in her past life was right or wrong, she ultimately ended up abandoned by everyone, dying with her eyes wide open in disbelief, and suffering a tragic end. And she didn't witness any of what Min Yuexi was talking about!
So, when she opened her mouth, the words that came out were two resolute words: "No!"
Min Yuexi looked at Min Qiaoshi in astonishment, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes, "Grandmother still can't forgive me for what I did to you in my past life?"
Madam Min shook her head and slowly said, "Just like you said, the past is the past. If I still hold grudges and harbor resentment, then I should kill all of you unworthy descendants the moment I am reborn to eliminate future troubles!"
"But I didn't do that, did I?"
“Grandmother!” Min Yuexi looked intently at Min Qiaoshi. “I knew it, Grandmother still cares about us! Grandmother…”
Madam Min raised her hand to interrupt Min Yuexi, and continued resolutely, "I'll leave you to fend for yourselves, and I'll live my retirement peacefully. This is my final act of mercy towards you!"
“Grandmother…” The light in Min Yuexi’s eyes gradually faded, and her cry of “Grandmother” was filled with sorrow.
But Madam Min remained unmoved. She simply coldly reminded him, "Mind your own business, and mind everyone you care about. Don't disturb my peaceful life anymore, and don't fall into my hands! You know I won't be soft-hearted towards anyone, and I certainly won't be lenient with anyone."
Min Yuexi trembled all over, her face gradually turning pale until it was completely bloodless.
"Let's go, take your mother back."
Madam Min Qiao silently looked at Min Yuexi, "I know your mother was just being used by someone regarding Madam Zheng's matter. So, for your sake, I'll let her off this time. However, this is a one-time exception!"
"I understand. Thank you, Grandmother."
Min Yuexi agreed and kowtowed to Min Qiaoshi again, "Then I'll take my mother back first."
Min Qiao nodded.
Min Yuexi then stood up shakily, enduring the dizziness and pain, and slowly walked outside step by step. Her thin figure looked lonely and desolate.
Min Qiaoshi withdrew her gaze and took a deep breath.
She does not regret her decision.
Soon, Wu's earth-shattering shouts came from outside the door: "Xi'er! Xi'er, what's wrong with you? Someone, quickly go and fetch a doctor!"
The moment she stepped out of the main room, Min Yuexi finally collapsed from exhaustion into Wu's arms.
Seeing Wu Shi's anxious face and tears streaming down her face, Min Yuexi forced a smile and comforted her, "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine."
"How can you be alright? Look at your face and head covered in blood! You've lost so much blood, how can you be alright? How can you be alright?"
Unable to contain herself, Madam Wu burst into tears, “It’s all my fault! It’s all my fault! If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t be like this! It was like this last time we went to the Duke of Jin’s mansion, and now it’s like this again! It’s all my fault! I’m stupid, I’m clumsy, I’ve dragged you down with me!…”
Ms. Wu felt extremely guilty and wished she could take her place.
Soon, Min Yuexi was carried back to Ruyunxuan. The doctor examined her and said that her life was not in danger, but she had bumped her head twice in the same spot, and she would probably have a scar.
Min Yuexi didn't care about this. She had already damaged her health and was having difficulty conceiving. Compared to that, a scar on her forehead was nothing.
Moreover, if she could gain her grandmother's pity by disfiguring herself, she felt it wouldn't be a loss at all!
I just don't know if my grandmother will soften her heart because of this.
Min Yuexi closed her eyes, and two lines of clear tears slowly slid down her cheeks.
I think it's unlikely.
Because even the suffering she endured in her past life couldn't soften her grandmother's heart! How could her grandmother possibly feel pity for her because of something as trivial as her disfigurement?
