Seeing that she could burst into tears so easily, as if she had suffered a great injustice, Situ Jin couldn't help but wonder if she and Meng Hu had guessed wrong, and if there was nothing between her and Xie Jingrun at all.
Seeing her tear-streaked face, so pitiful and endearing, she suddenly felt that it would be strange if Xie Jingrun didn't have any feelings for such a beauty, unless he wasn't a man.
Thinking about it, she curled her lips and said meaningfully, "You have long been married to Xie Tianlin. Although Xie Tianlin is dead, you are his widow, and that cannot be changed. But why do you always refer to yourself as 'your subject' instead of 'your subject's wife' whenever I see you? Are you so unaware of your own limitations that you still want to use your status as a widow to seduce men?"
“If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext. Since Your Majesty believes that I am guilty, then I will give up my life to prove my innocence!” After saying this, Rong Qingqing suddenly stood up and rushed towards the wall next to her.
Meanwhile, Xie Jingrun had witnessed everything that happened inside the house from the rooftop. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to rush down when Changlin and Changfeng grabbed him tightly from both sides.
"Master, please bear with your anger and do not act impulsively. The old lady is a wise woman and will find a way to handle this," Changlin advised in a low voice.
“Yes, the Empress is clearly waiting for you to appear. If you rush into the room now, you will not only fail to save the old lady, but you will also push her to her death,” Changfeng anxiously advised.
The Empress's sudden visit was clearly ill-intentioned; she was probably there to find something to hold against the master. If the master rushed out at this moment, it would confirm the affair between the old lady and the master, and then the Empress could make a big fuss about it.
Xie Jingrun was well aware of the consequences, but he couldn't bear to watch Rong Qingqing be humiliated.
He had never been so angry before; the pain in his heart made him want to kill Situ Jin at any cost.
Just as he was about to shake off the two men, he heard a loud "bang" from inside the house.
Inside the room, Rong Qingqing had collapsed to the ground, her eyes closed, seemingly unconscious.
Despite the pain, Xiao Tao, who had been knocked to the ground, crawled to Rong Qingqing's side, crying uncontrollably, "Miss, please don't die! Don't leave me behind..."
Situ Jin glanced coldly at the master and servant, showing no sympathy whatsoever. Thinking about how she had made such a commotion since she entered, yet Xie Jingrun hadn't even shown up, she couldn't help but feel somewhat resentful.
Could it be that she and Meng Hu guessed wrong, and that Xie Jingrun and Rong Qingqing did not have an affair? Or perhaps, even if they did have an affair, Xie Jingrun was just playing around, so no matter how she humiliated Rong Qingqing, he remained unmoved.
If that's the case, then her plan will have to be shelved.
She thought unhappily, brushed off her clothes, stood up, and said angrily, "I was only trying to do what was best for her. How unlucky!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Don't upset yourself. This Rong Qingqing is ungrateful and doesn't deserve your anger," said Granny Hong immediately.
"Let's go." Situ Jin glanced at Rong Qingqing, who had fainted on the ground, before leading the others away in disappointment.
Soon, everyone in the room had left.
Xiao Tao, who was kneeling beside Rong Qingqing wiping away her tears, almost collapsed to the ground.
A short while later, a figure walked in from outside the door.
Xiao Tao looked up and saw Xie Jingrun walk in with a gloomy face.
He didn't walk fast, but Xiao Tao always felt that he was very worried about Miss.
