"That time, when His Highness the Crown Prince came to the Qiao family, it was my attitude towards you. I knew about your plan all along, but I didn't expose you because I thought about the feelings that our Qiao family had put into you. If you can see the error of your ways, even if His Highness the Crown Prince helps your Du family to clear your name, our Qiao family can still be safe and sound."
Du Qinglan's body trembled. At that moment, such a guess popped into her mind, but she thought it was just a coincidence. Even if Qiao Lian'er was really sending her some kind of signal, she didn't dare to gamble.
Now she truly understood Qiao Lian'er's intentions, and the shock they brought her was like a whip lashing her soul.
The Qiao family was just as shocked as Du Qinglan, but for different reasons.
It turns out that Lian'er not only knew about this conspiracy all along, but also gave Du Qinglan a chance to choose again, so she wasn't left with no way out.
As long as she pulls back from the brink, the Qiao family will never know about this incident, and they will continue to treat her the way they treated her before.
Her future life will be surrounded by happiness, warmth, and liveliness; she will be carefree and enjoy wealth.
From her perspective, it's all beneficial and without any harm.
But she still chose to destroy the Qiao family.
This made the Qiao family even more disgusted.
What kind of wicked heart would lead someone to choose to commit evil to the very end when given a choice?
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Du Qinglan seemed unable to hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground, her whole body trembling violently, filled with remorse.
But now, it's too late to say anything.
Da Meng staggered to her, grabbed her shoulders, and stared at her with bloodshot eyes.
"No matter how many mistakes you've made, I can forgive you, I can ignore them all, but you just had to try to destroy my whole family. How could you bear to do that?"
His grip was so strong it almost crushed Du Qinglan's shoulders. Du Qinglan's face was deathly pale, and she swayed precariously. She bit her lip tightly, overwhelmed with shame, and didn't know how to face the man in front of her.
Even with bright red bloodstains on her lips, she remained silent.
“Da Meng, things have come to this point, can’t you see clearly?” Madam Lü said coldly, “This woman is heartless and ungrateful to you, and she is not your fiancée. She came to your side for only one purpose, which is to take the lives of our whole family.”
Du Qinglan's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
Knowing that he was about to die, he decided to speak his mind.
She looked at Da Meng, all calculation gone from her eyes, leaving only a deep sense of regret: "I've thought about how wonderful it would be if I could become your wife. I've hated my fate countless times, hated that I can't have this perfect marriage. I imagined a few years from now, we would have a son and a daughter, running around us. But I know very well that this is just my fantasy."
Then she looked at Grandma Qiao and said, "Grandma Qiao, when you put the gloves you made by hand on my hands, I thought of my own grandmother. You are so gentle and loving. I wish I could be filial to you and make you happy every day."
