Chapter 127, Mother Knows the Truth
Mother Qing took a deep breath, "The old lady had someone put a sleeping pill in your dinner, and also put some... aphrodisiacs..."
At this point,
Liu Wan shuddered, and she looked at Mother Qing in disbelief.
Her lips trembled as she asked, "Then... then what?"
"Then, the old lady called an assassin to send you to the Ninth Prince's Mansion at night..." With
a "pop!",
the teacup in Liu Wan's hand suddenly fell to the ground and broke.
In fact, Mother Qing had guessed it vaguely when she was halfway through her words.
Now that she heard the news with her own ears, she still couldn't accept it!
In order to save her grandson, the old lady did not hesitate to destroy her innocence as a woman in a deep-seated relationship.
She tried hard to hide the anger and shock in her eyes, and continued to ask, "And then!"
Mother Qing said, "The next day, you and the prince appeared in the room together. The prince couldn't remember it, he always thought Miss Wanwan was his daughter."
"But only the old lady and the old servant know that the prince can come back safely, it must be that you and the Ninth Prince have succeeded..."
Mother Qing was a little scared when she said this.
Because she had never seen Liu Wan with such an expression before, she endured it tightly, the anger in her eyes and the calmness on her face formed a strong contrast, which made her feel scared.
Mother Qing said: "I regret it too. The assassin was my nephew. Now the old lady has had his tongue cut off and his tendons destroyed. If it weren't for my pleading, my nephew would have died long ago!"
It was because of this incident that Mother Qing was no longer loyal to the old lady.
She also regretted that she had introduced her family to help the old lady.
So after the Ninth Prince extended an olive branch, she seized the opportunity to save her life without hesitation.
Even if the Ninth Prince didn't poison her, she would help Liu Wan and the Ninth Prince.
Unfortunately, the old lady miscalculated. The old lady only thought that the Ninth Prince only gave Liu Wan the antidote out of Madam Susu's affection.
Unexpectedly, the Ninth Prince had already fallen in love with Liu Wan.
It was only after Mother Qing changed sides that she saw all this clearly. The Ninth Prince's feelings were too obscure.
He hoped that Liu Wan would be fine, so in order to preserve Liu Wan's reputation, he deliberately put her together with Xie Jin'an.
Liu Wan was pregnant, and everyone thought it was Xie Jin'an's.
And the Ninth Prince only showed up when Wan Wan was one month old, and he didn't even deliver the gift in person.
Instead, he asked the prince to come forward, so that with the help of the prince, the Xie family would not dare to act against Miss Wan Wan easily.
His feelings were very deep, but they were hidden silently, and no one knew about it.
Later, Mother Qing was caught by him, and she confessed everything the old lady had done to Liu Wan.
The Ninth Prince then asked her to keep an eye on the Marquis' Mansion. Madam Liu Wan wanted to divorce, so he helped her again and again! Helped
everyone around her!
Liu Wan slowly closed her eyes.
She thought of that dream again.
Thinking of the dream in which Wanwan was found out not to be of the Xie family's blood, it scared her.
Moreover, if people knew that Wanwan's biological father was the Ninth Prince,
they would definitely say that she had an affair after getting married and was pregnant with someone else's child. They would
also definitely say that Wanwan was a bastard who was afraid to show her face.
She had to protect her daughter and her own reputation!
She clenched her fists secretly and made a decision - the old lady's life could not be saved.
She asked Mother Qing, "Has Marquis Jing'an brought the old lady back home?"
Mother Qing felt a chill down her spine, and her voice was a little trembling, "Not yet."
Did Liu Wan want to do something?
Liu Wan sneered, she took out a pen and paper, wrote a few words, deliberately wrote crookedly, and shook off a lot of ink. She
handed the note to Mother Qing, and said in Mother Qing's ear,
"When the old lady comes back, you will give this note to..."
Mother Qing's eyes suddenly widened when she saw the content on the note.
Good, a good trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife.
After Mother Qing left.
Liu Wan thought for a long time alone in the room.
She went limp, leaned on the table, her eyes red, and looked at the vase of flowers again and again.
Xia Siheng must have been sober at that time.
Otherwise, he would not have arranged these things to save her reputation.
He was such an arrogant and indifferent person. When she secretly saw him in the past, his dark eyes seemed to have never taken anyone seriously.
And such a person was willing to be sober and indulge in her.
With his temper, he would never let anyone touch him easily, especially a woman like her. If he didn't want to touch her, he could just let someone release Xie Jin and then make them a couple. しΙиgㄚuΤＸΤ.ΠěＴ
But he didn't.
He was willing to...
show that he had her in his heart, right?
Thinking of this, Liu Wan felt many complicated emotions in her heart, mixed with a hint of regret.
Xia Siheng, he has always known that Wanwan is his daughter.
So he kept helping her in secret. When Wanwan was one month old, he secretly sent Wanwan a gift.
He secretly arrested people to accuse the old woman of plotting against the fifth princess.
When they were at Jinshan Temple, he helped her rent a carriage to go down the mountain and waited all the way to the city gate.
Later, when he learned that she wanted to divorce, he kept helping her in secret.
She should have guessed it long ago!
Until today, he sent flowers just to make sure whether she had him in her heart.
But she silently refused.
That person must be very disappointed.
Liu Wan leaned against the door and sighed deeply.
Now she is no longer alone, she has a daughter.
She dare not step into marriage casually again.
The Xie family cast a shadow on her marriage, although she knew that Xia Siheng and Xie Jinan were not the same kind of people.
Back then, the little Xia Siheng even gave up his life to protect a branch of winter plum.
But Xie Jinan casually threw away and despised her favorite flower, using it as a tool to take advantage of her feelings.
These two people can't be the same.
This night.
Even though her daughter was lying next to her, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep for a long time.
And in the house next door.
Xia Siheng sat alone by the window, the moonlight outlining the contours of his face, his usually cold face, now a little lost.
Jing Wu came over and said, "Your Highness, Mother Qing just went to see Madam Liu Wan."
"No, we can't let her stay in the dark for her whole life." He answered slowly.
Liu Wan has entrusted her life to the wrong person, so she probably won't dare to love easily.
She is a conservative and docile person. She has read poetry and learned etiquette since she was a child. After getting married, she has been a good wife
and cherished her reputation. Such a woman, no matter which noble family she marries into, will be a model mistress and be loved by the family.
But she happened to be favored by the Xie family!
The Xie family treated her like this, she would not have hope in anyone, including herself.
Thinking of this, Xia Siheng sighed heavily.
Damn Xie Jinan!
He turned to ask Jingwu, "Have you found the gang that arrested Minister Liu 20 years ago?"
