After hearing Ling Qingya's answer, Ah Xing did not continue to ask about the details of the drugging.
But he suddenly remembered that Jiang Luoning had mentioned that Fu Linxiao and his elder brother had braked at the banquet, so he changed the subject and tried to find out other information from her.
"Besides giving the drug, what else did you do that day?"
The decadent woman on the ground did not understand the true meaning of the boy's question. She just frowned and thought for a moment, then shook her head to deny it.
"Since you like my elder brother so much, why are you approaching me?"
Hearing this, Ling Qingya raised her eyes and shifted her gaze to Jiang Yichen who had spoken at the moment. She understood the man's doubts about what she had just said, hesitated for a moment, and finally explained the reason.
"Originally, my relationship with Chongguang was just an accident, but when I came to Country A, I ran into Dong Jiaxue. Although I had already left the imperial capital, I still heard about what happened to the Dong family during that time. She told me that she was relaxing here because she couldn't bear the blow. She also gave me advice, saying that I could start in the entertainment industry and use my strength to return to the imperial capital. Then, I can find a way to get close to Jiang Linghao. Now that my appearance has changed, I won't attract anyone's attention."
Ah Xing, who heard this explanation, tried hard to suppress his laughter. If the occasion was not inappropriate, he would definitely have made a joke. It would be too ridiculous to say that this big star who was admired by thousands of people was being used as a stepping stone to approach others.
Jiang Yichen was relieved that he didn't notice anything abnormal about the boy.
No matter what her ultimate goal is, as long as she doesn't really want to get close to him and harass him, Jiang Yichen felt numb all over and nauseous when he was favored by such a vicious woman.
Fu Linxiao ignored the woman's boring excuses, but he still had doubts about what Dong Jiaxue said. Thinking of her transformation at the rooftop banquet, he felt it was very strange. He raised his eyebrows slightly, but his tone was as cold as ice, which made people feel oppressed and dared not refuse.
"What else did Dong Jiaxue say to you!"
Faced with the man's pressure, Ling Qingya couldn't help but shiver. Perhaps her fear of Fu Linxiao was already deeply rooted. Even though she knew that he was just asking her a question, she was still very nervous. She calmed herself down, swallowed her saliva, and told her everything she had heard without reservation.
"He said that Dong Siqing and Chen Xu were the children of Madam Dong's brother. Their father died in an accident, and because her brother had done her a favor, Madam Dong had no choice but to take them back to the Dong family. To avoid suspicion from outsiders, she placed her in an orphanage, but she has been secretly caring for her for all these years. She said that Madam Dong did this to protect her daughter, because the Dong family had offended the Hermit Family, and sooner or later, they would be swallowed up."
After listening to the woman's story, Jiang Luoning was even more shocked. He didn't know what kind of mentality Dong Jiaxue had to make up such an outrageous excuse. The most important thing was that Ling Qingya actually believed it. He really didn't know whether to say that this woman was simple-minded or stupid.
"She was sent to Country A alone?"
As Fu Linxiao asked again, Ling Qingya fell into deep thought, as if recalling the past between her and Dong Jiaxue. Then she finally remembered something, looked up at everyone, and replied in a deep voice;
"No, it seems there is a housekeeper who has been taking care of her!"
There was silence and everyone was surprised by the news. If nothing unexpected happened, the housekeeper that Ling Qingya mentioned must be the Aunt Mei they had been looking for for a long time. No one revealed anything and just waited silently for the woman's next confession.
"I only heard her talking to the housekeeper on the phone. Her words were full of concern for her. She even told her to go home early and made her favorite dinner."
After saying this, the woman gave a self-deprecating smile.
"In contrast, I didn't even get a greeting from the housekeeper. It's really ridiculous when you think about it."
Everyone ignored the woman's self-insertion. Fu Linxiao continued to focus on the previous topic, not intending to let it go. He continued in a deep voice, "Have you met Dong Jiaxue's fiancé?"
After hearing this, Ling Qingya mustered up the courage to look up at Fu Linxiao, hoping to read a hint of pity or tenderness on his face, but reality still slapped her in the face. The man looked the same, without any sign of relaxation, so she had no choice but to respond.
"Are you talking about Xu Weishen?"
"I only met Dong Jiaxue once, at a banquet. At first, I just thought he was her financial sponsor, but the man openly announced that Dong Jiaxue was his fiancée. The love in his eyes was so strong and dazzling. I have to say that she is really lucky. Even though she was thrown into an orphanage since she was young, there are still so many people who love and care about her."
She mentioned Xu Weishen just to see what role this man played in their transaction, but the woman's answer was obviously that he had nothing to do with the affairs of the imperial capital. So she could only give up and change her thinking to continue testing the waters.
Before Fu Linxiao could continue asking questions, he heard Wilding, who had been silent all this time, express his doubts.
"Dong Jiaxue is just helping you out of pure kindness?"
After Ling Qingya was brought here, he originally thought that he did not understand the grudges and past between them, so he did not interrupt rashly. However, after hearing all these things about Dong Jiaxue, he somehow connected them all to the graceful woman at the banquet that day.
After thinking about it, I always feel that this woman must be hiding a big secret, otherwise why would she have two faces.
Unable to bear his own confusion, he finally joined in this exploratory questioning.
Facing the Viscount's questioning, Ling Qingya did not have too much emotion. It was only after her true identity was exposed that she learned about the relationship between the Duke's family and Luoshen from Chongguang's mouth, so she was no longer surprised that Wilding protected Jiang Luoning and the others.
He shook his head slightly and responded self-deprecatingly, "How is that possible? Don't be fooled by her outward appearance of being well-behaved. Her ambitions are no less than mine. Although I don't know what her ultimate goal is, I can still hear from her words that she resents Chen Xu, Dong Siqing, and Madam Dong."
"Now that Madam Dong has been expelled from the Dong family, why hasn't she returned to the imperial capital?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Qingya did not explain much and her expression remained normal without any flaws.
"I asked her too, and she just said that the time has not come yet, but she will go back one day. After all, she is the eldest daughter of the Dong family, and that Chen Xu is just an orphan that no one wants!"
After learning the whole story between the two, everyone fell into deep thought and the room became quiet.
