"The Princess Consort of Yong'an is so vicious and ruthless! Does the Prince of Yong'an know this?!"
Liang Juan's face was deathly pale as she glared fiercely at Su Muxi.
She knew Su Muxi wouldn't save her, and she knew she was doomed, so pleading was futile.
Su Muxi chuckled and said, "I admit you're ruthless, but you're talking about yourself when it comes to being malicious! From beginning to end, I've never taken you seriously. It's you who kept coming up to me. You're the one with impure intentions, yet you blame everything on others."
She really is a perfect match for Qiao Ziming.
However, Su Muxi did not say the remaining half of the sentence.
After all, for the time being, she and Qiao Ziming are in the same boat and need to maintain a facade of harmony.
From the very beginning, when Liang Juan sold herself to bury her father, she was looking for a wealthy young man. She was beautiful and thought she understood men well. She believed that if she was bought by a rich young man, she could climb from a slave to the position of mistress of the house.
When Liang Juan first saw Su Muxi, she mistook her for Qiao Zimo's wife, which is why she took the initiative to step forward and act pitiful and weak.
Unexpectedly, they ran into a brick wall.
Fortunately, she noticed Qiao Ziming's unusual feelings for Su Muxi, which allowed her to stay by Qiao Ziming's side and use this discovery to successfully gain his favor.
She had clearly made Qiao Ziming very happy, but Qiao Ziming still chased her away simply because of a single sentence from Su Muxi…
On what grounds?
Is it just because Su Muxi is beautiful and has a high social status?
She was the one who served Qiao Ziming with all her heart!
Qiao Ziming clearly liked her a lot before!
Why did things turn out like this?!
Liang Juan looked aggrieved again and looked up at Qiao Ziming.
Even if she saw the slightest hint of reluctance on Qiao Ziming's face, she would feel comforted.
But at this moment, Qiao Ziming's gaze towards her was filled with only disgust.
Oh!
If that's the case, she won't let Su Muxi and Qiao Ziming have an easy time before she dies!
Su Muxi spoke again, "Speak! Why did you do this? Do you know that the epidemic in the city is severe right now and we can't afford any more panic? What you're doing will only kill everyone!"
Unexpectedly, Liang Juan laughed and said, "Hahaha! Why?! Because I can't stand you! You've already married the Prince of Yong'an, yet you're still trying to seduce the heir of the Marquis of Anyang!"
"But I genuinely love the heir of the Marquis of Anyang, and I can't bear to see him so attached to you. Therefore, I want to disappoint him!"
A dying man speaks good words.
Liang Juan's words at this moment indicate that there is indeed an improper relationship between Su Muxi and Qiao Ziming.
Qiao Ziming stepped forward and kicked Liang Juan hard, sending her flying a great distance.
Liang Juan suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, trembling all over in pain.
But she gave a meaningful smile and said to Qiao Ziming, "Does Your Highness not dare to admit it? When you were pressing me down, you were calling out the name of the Princess!"
"Nonsense!"
Enraged, Qiao Ziming reached out and grabbed Liang Juan's slender neck.
Whether it was due to a lack of control over the force applied, or because the previous kick had displaced the silver needle in Liang Juan's abdomen, causing it to flow into her heart meridian along with her bloodstream.
In short, Liang Juan died.
His eyes bulged out; he died with his eyes wide open, unable to close them in peace.
Su Muxi frowned. Qiao Ziming's actions were tantamount to murder to silence her. Now, even if she tried to explain, no one else would believe her.
Qiao Ziming saw that Liang Juan was dead but had no reaction. He let go of her with disgust in his eyes, letting Liang Juan's body fall to the ground. Then he looked at Su Muxi and explained, "She was just talking nonsense. I didn't call your name!"
He never actually called out Su Muxi's name; he only thought about it in his mind.
However, this explanation had no effect.
Su Muxi scanned the surroundings but still couldn't spot Bai Zhi. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to continue stalling for time and, incidentally, clear her name!
"Have you all heard that I used to have an ugly red birthmark on my left cheek?"
Some people nodded, but no one dared to speak.
After all, Su Muxi's ruthless methods just now still inspire fear.
Seeing this, Su Muxi continued, "Actually, the red birthmark on my face before wasn't a real birthmark, but a gecko birthmark, a symbol of a Su family woman."
The Su family daughters are implanted with a celibate fetus from a young age to signify their chastity, and the red birthmark on their faces will only disappear after they have marital relations with their husbands.
The ancestors of the Su family hoped that all the women of the Su family could find a husband who would not care about their appearance but would truly love them, so they developed this type of uterine fetus.
I was married to the heir of the Marquis of Anyang for three years. If I wanted to seduce the heir of the Marquis of Anyang, I could have just told him about the pregnancy. That way, we could have been a loving and harmonious couple.
The fact that I didn't say it shows that I don't like the heir of the Marquis of Anyang.
Do you think I would actively seduce someone I don't like?
Of course, I also believe that the heir of the Marquis of Anyang is not a superficial person who only values appearance. He must have felt that we were not suitable for each other when he divorced me.
Now that I am married to Prince Yong'an and pregnant with his child, I hope these rumors will cease to circulate in the future.
Qiao Ziming looked at Su Muxi's face and listened to her words. His eyes flickered, and he felt an indescribable sense of frustration and bitterness in his heart.
It turns out that the birthmark on Su Muxi's face was from a gecko, which represents chastity.
Therefore, he was blinded by appearances and missed out on Su Muxi…
So, by drugging Su Muxi, he actually benefited Ye Zeyu?!
But he didn't believe that Ye Zeyu was unaware of the pregnancy beforehand!
Su Muxi is clearly treating people differently!
I told Ye Zeyu in advance, but not to him!
Although he wanted to question them immediately, he knew that this was not the time.
Seeing this, Xie Xuan also spoke up, saying, "I have been traveling with Princess Yong'an and the heir of Marquis Anyang, and neither of them has ever overstepped their bounds. I think everyone can see that I am in love with Princess Yong'an. If Princess Yong'an were really as Liang Juan described, do you think I would still love her so much?!"
Liang Juan clearly knew she was going to die and wanted to spread rumors about the princess before she died!
You all have brains; you can figure it out yourselves, can't you?"
If you can't figure it out, then you're brainless!
Just then, Su Muxi saw Bai Zhi.
Seeing Bai Zhi nod slightly to her, she was overjoyed.
She was right after all!
This should be enough to stop these people for now!
