Chapter 235: The lady frowned and clenched the handkerchief even tighter.
"You little bitch, you dare to refute me? You have no sense at all! You're a piece of trash! I'm selling you out today!"
She would not listen to what the maid said. She just treated her as a punching bag, punching and kicking her, and even poured the boiling water directly on the maid.
Only when she saw the maid rolling around in a mess on the ground did she feel a little better.
Little did he know that all this was seen by the general's wife.
She had come to comfort her daughter, but she didn't expect to see this scene. Her heart suddenly tightened and her face turned pale.
Huier... She is usually kind to others. Even if she is angry, she can't be like this, right?
Could it be that everything I see every day is just her pretending?
The lady frowned and clenched the handkerchief even tighter.
She left without saying a word.
On the other side, Wu Heng military camp.
Huo Zong called Yu Sun and wanted to know the whole story.
"The servant who brought the news is your Master's subordinate. Master, if this is because you want to take revenge on your brother, then..."
"General Huo." Before Huo Zong could finish his words, Ruan Mian, dressed as a soldier, had already stepped into the tent.
Seeing that it was her, Huo Zong was even more surprised: "Madam Ruan?"
Ruan Mian stepped forward and said bluntly, "Today's incident was set up by me."
"General, you may not know that the so-called Princess Buhui is actually my half-sister who was exiled with me. I don't know what she went through to get to this position, but I am sure that she went to great lengths to marry into the capital. There must be something fishy going on."
"What's more, she fell in love with Junior Master Yu as soon as she arrived at the military camp. It was she who invited Junior Master Yu to the General's Mansion for a night of passion."
Huo Zong was shocked when he heard this. He obviously didn't expect that the princess who looked well-behaved was so unfaithful in private.
Even Yu Sun couldn't help but clasp his fists and say, "General, Madam Ruan is absolutely right. A woman like this is absolutely unworthy of being by your side. Furthermore, if you are forced to separate from Miss Ruan Qing for this in-law, that's even more unworthy!"
Huo Zong looked at Ruan Mian, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
"So, Madam Ruan, you've killed three birds with one stone. Not only have you solved my marriage problem, you've also vented Master Yu's anger, and you've also punished that evil man, Yu Zhi?"
"It just happened."
Yu Zhi was originally a thorn in Huo Zong's side. Because he was a member of the army and had made meritorious service, it would be difficult to convince the public if he was punished only for his personal dishonesty.
This gave Ruan Mian an excuse.
"General Huo, after this incident, your marriage to Princess Buhui will inevitably be fruitless. If you are truly interested in my Ruan Qing, you should prepare for the betrothal."
"As for that fake Princess Buhui, I also have a way to expose her true colors and completely sever her plans to return to the capital. However... I still need the General's help."
"Madam Ruan, why don't you just speak frankly?"
"I need to go to the border town of Lanqiang for a few days. I heard that the new governor has taken office and can no longer enter and leave Wuheng City freely like before."
"So I need the general's assistance and give me the clearance documents."
This was not a difficult task for Huo Zong.
However, Ruan Mian has not yet decided when to leave Wuheng. She needs to go back to see the Lanqiang woman she brought back from Xingjia.
After leaving the military camp, she returned to the house that night.
He told Ruan Qing the good news that Wu Heng had run away with Nabuhui and her family.
My aunt clapped her hands immediately and said, "Look, look, what did I say?"
"Qing'er, your sister is not an ordinary person. She will definitely be able to help you! Now, your marriage with General Huo is destined by heaven."
Ruan Qing's eyes were red, and she felt both shy and happy. When she looked at Ruan Mian, her heart was filled with gratitude and admiration. She knelt down on the spot and kowtowed to Ruan Mian several times regardless of any obstruction.
"Sister! Thank you."
"We're all family, what else is there to thank? As long as you're happy, I, your younger sister, will be happy too."
These words came from the bottom of her heart. Although she had traveled through time, from the time she was exiled all the way to now, Ruan Mian had long regarded them as her real family.
I helped them and received a lot of care from them.
After dealing with this matter, she found Meixi again and asked about the situation of the Lanqiang woman.
Mei Xi had been taking care of them these days, so she simply took Ruan Mian to meet the Lanqiang woman.
"Girl, she's much better now than when she first came. She can even recognize people now and remember her own name, which is Xiza."
Siza?
As soon as he finished speaking, the Lanqiang woman happened to be standing at the gate of the saltpeter plantation, holding a piece of white silk that she had obtained from somewhere unknown.
Mei Xi and Ruan Mian looked at each other and immediately stepped forward to stop her!
"Miss Xiza! What are you doing?!"
Mei Xi snatched the white silk away and looked at the woman with disappointment.
When the woman saw them, she suddenly collapsed on the ground in despair, tears streaming down her face.
She grabbed Ruan Mian's arm and murmured, "Miss, I...I have no way out. I have spent half my life searching for my relatives, but someone else took my place and entered the mansion!"
"I was tortured by her, sold into slavery by her, trampled on, and defiled. Now, what else do I have to live for..."
"Even so, you won't live anymore?!" Xi pointed at the house on the plantation and said firmly.
"The women in there aren't any better than you, but they still hold out for themselves. They have to live up to themselves no matter what. They have to..."
"Xi."
Ruan Mian understood why Mei Xi was so angry, as she had also been a victim.
In this world, too many demands are made of women. A woman who has lost both parents and has no one to rely on really has a hard time making any progress.
It was because she was able to empathize with the other woman that Xi Xi put all her thoughts and heart into helping the poor woman who had the same experience as herself.
But facing someone like Siza who has lost all hope, these words alone are unlikely to awaken her desire to survive.
Just one sentence.
"Girl, don't you want to expose that fake guy first?"
"You've acknowledged your kinship for most of your life, and you're willing to let her take it away from you?"
At this moment, Siza's eyes really did light up, but soon dimmed again: "But what can I do?"
Ruan Mian helped her up and looked at her steadily: "Take good care of yourself. I will take you back to Lanqiang in a few days. I have a way."
She looked up in disbelief and met Ruan Mian's gaze, but the determination in her eyes dispelled Xiza's doubts.
Mei Xi patted her shoulder and said, "My daughter said there is a way, so there must be a way. Look at those people, they were all rescued by my daughter."
After saying this, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Ruan Mian and said, "Oh, girl, there is one more thing I almost forgot."
