Chapter 26 My Good Sister
"Hahaha!" Nie Qionghua laughed so hard that tears came out. The mouse lying on her was frightened and slipped off her body without noticing, and then continued to climb up.
Nie Qionghua seemed to have become numb, and it really was true that "when there are too many lice, you don't notice their bites", and the same is true for too many mice.
Her eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Nie fiercely, "That's what you said back then. You said you didn't expect me to not even let go of an unborn child. You said I was cruel. You said none of this had anything to do with you. You said you had no idea I would do this!
Listen, how ridiculous! Before coming to the palace, I didn't even know Concubine Liu. I have no grudge against her, so why would I harm her?
Nie Qionghua was originally exhausted, but at this moment she seemed to be energized and her fighting spirit was rekindled.
She glared at Nie: "It's you, it's you, you cried so hard that your heart was broken. You said that the prince was sent to the capital since he was young, and he had less close relationship with the prince. Ah Xuan was also weak since he was young, so he was not liked by the prince.
You said that once Concubine Liu gave birth to a boy, your son would have to stand aside, and maybe even his position as Crown Prince would be in jeopardy.
By the way, that year was the year when the eldest son of the King of Shu died young, and the second son born to a concubine was made the Crown Prince. That’s why you were afraid. You were afraid that something might happen to the Crown Prince, and the throne would not fall to Axuan.
Nie shook her head vigorously, crying so hard that she almost fainted: "So what? I didn't ask you to harm Concubine Liu's child..."
Nie Qionghua smiled again, her smile full of sarcasm and bitterness: "You didn't say it explicitly, but every word you said let me know that you didn't want to give birth to that child.
I was stupid, I was foolish. I thought we were sisters with a deep bond and would prosper together.
I asked Nanny Zhang to change the pregnancy-preserving medicine. Not only did Concubine Liu have a miscarriage, but she will never be able to get pregnant again.
You felt sad for her, but you also rewarded her with many things, even asking the prince to spend more time with Concubine Liu, and gave Concubine Liu's brother an official position.
The prince praised you for being virtuous, sensible and generous, so even though Concubine Liu knew that I was working for you, she didn't even dare to hate you. She could only hate me and take revenge on me.
I caused her to lose her son, so she gave me thunder god vine to make me infertile.
Over the years, people have said that I stayed in the palace and refused to get married, but in fact, you and I both know that I can't even have children, so why should I get married!
But you blame it all on me.
On the day I knew that I couldn't get pregnant, not only did you not let the prince deal with Concubine Liu, but you blamed me instead. You blamed me for being cruel and killing Concubine Liu's child. You said it was retribution!
Hahaha, I did all this for you, my dear sister, but you said it was retribution. If there is any retribution, it should be on you!"
At some point, Zhao Yunnuan and Zhao Shiqing's eyes all fell on Nie. At this moment, they believed that Nie Qionghua was not lying and that this was something Nie could do.
The entire circle of noble ladies in Liangdu knew that Princess Nie of Liang loved her younger sister very much. It was Nie who gave Nie Qionghua her reputation, and Nie Qionghua had always been by Nie's side.
In order to enjoy wealth and glory, I would rather not get married.
But who could have imagined that Nie Qionghua, who was protected by Nie, was deprived of fertility by Concubine Liu. Not only did Nie not stand up for her, she even suppressed the matter. Even Zhao Yunnuan, who grew up in the palace, didn't know about it!
Why?
It was because Nie was worried that once the matter was exposed, the fact that Nie Qionghua caused Concubine Liu to have a miscarriage would come to light.
Nie Qionghua had no grudges against Concubine Liu, so who else could have ordered her to do this except Nie?
So Nie suppressed the matter. Not only did she let Nie Qionghua bear the revenge from Concubine Liu alone, she also did not stand up for Nie Qionghua.
But for Nie Qionghua, the words that Nie accused her of were the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The air in the room froze in an instant. Nie Qionghua gasped for breath, his facial features distorted with anger.
Zhao Shiqing coughed dryly and asked, "So you let the kidnapper take the little princess away?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yunnuan subconsciously clenched his fists.
She was nine years old when her younger sister disappeared. She still remembered what her younger sister looked like, a well-behaved and quiet little girl who liked to wrap all kinds of cloth around dolls to make clothes.
Zhao Yunnuan's vision blurred. She heard Zhao Shiqing still interrogating Nie Qionghua. Then, she heard Nie Qionghua's hoarse voice: "Yeah, so what? She forced me to do it. Didn't she say I was cruel? Didn't she say I didn't even let go of unborn children?
Okay, okay, her child is born, so I will let her also taste the pain of losing a child!
My dear sister, your child is precious, so I will let her be a slave for the rest of her life. I just want to see what your expression will be when you hear one day that your daughter has become a prostitute in a brothel?
It’s all that kidnapper’s fault. Why did he kill her?
It’s better to die, it’s better to die. It’s so beautiful to see a princess heartbroken!
But so what, she only lost a child, but I, I don’t even have a child!
I'm only in my twenties. I could have remarried and had children, but because of her, I completely lost the right to be a mother!"
Nie was struck by lightning!
She knew that Concubine Liu had taken revenge on Nie Qionghua, and she also knew that Nie Qionghua could no longer have children, but not long after, Concubine Liu committed suicide.
Although Concubine Liu was a concubine approved by the royal family, she was just a concubine, a concubine without children, and she would be dead if she died.
Nie even felt that this was what she deserved. Concubine Liu had harmed Nie Qionghua, so she committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
With the death of Concubine Liu, everything came to an end.
Nie also performed a ritual for several days for Concubine Liu, and the people of Liangdu praised Nie for her grace and generosity.
So wasn't this already a thing that had already been put to rest? Why was Nie Qionghua so concerned about it?
It would be fine if he just cared about it, but why did he kidnap her daughter?
"It was you? You really did this? You asked the kidnapper to take Aying away? Why would it be you?"
Nie was trembling all over and stared at Nie Qionghua in disbelief.
When Nie Qionghua entered the mansion, Aying was not yet born. When Aying was a child, Nie Qionghua often held her in her arms, and Aying also liked this second aunt.
"I provided you with food and shelter. Every piece of silk, satin, gold, silver, and jewelry you wear was given by me. I raised you for sixteen years, sixteen years, and this is how you treat me?
You ungrateful thing, I will kill you!"
Nie flailed her arms and lunged towards Nie Qionghua, but she only took one step before stopping. The rats stared at her with their sparkling little eyes, as if to say, "Come on, come quickly!"
The expression on Nie's face instantly froze. She was obviously not far away from Nie Qionghua, but she didn't dare to get close.
Nie Qionghua showed a mocking smile on his face: "Cry, why don't you cry? Hahaha..."
With a loud slap, a crisp slap landed on Nie Qionghua's face. Zhao Yunnuan had rushed to her without her knowing.
Regardless of whether there was a rat on Nie Qionghua's head or not, Zhao Yunnuan grabbed Nie Qionghua's hair and said, "Tell me, how did you take Aying away?"
This slap took all of Zhao Yunnuan's strength. Nie Qionghua's head was buzzing, and the fierceness and ruthlessness she had just felt vanished. She subconsciously said, "Aying listens to me the most. Aunt Zhang played hide-and-seek with her, asking her to crawl out through the hole in the back wall of the garden..."
Ma Dao Po helped to find the kidnapper, but I just wanted to sell her far away, I didn't want to kill her!
Really, you have to believe me. I watched Aying grow up. I am her aunt. How could I really want to kill her?
This was all an accident, really an accident!
At first, the kidnapper didn't know that she was the little princess of the prince's mansion. He thought she was just a child stolen by Ma Dao Po and only wanted to sell her to another place. However, the prince mobilized the army to find the child. The kidnapper was probably scared and worried about being caught, so he simply killed A Ying and escaped.
I did have Ah Ying kidnapped, but it was the kidnapper who killed her, not me!"
