Chapter 271 Yuanxiang's Betrayal
Chiu Chiu had said long ago that her little monkey was very capable, and this time it has proven that it is indeed a capable monkey.
All Granny Cui wanted to do now was give Zha Zha a thumbs up.
The monkey, emboldened by its master's backing, rushed forward before Yuanxiang could react, but this time it wasn't aimed at her face, but at the purse hanging from its waist.
Yuanxiang tried to dodge, but her thin and sallow appearance was no match for the fierce and chattering girl, and her purse was ripped off her waist.
The jade pendant is in my purse!
Yuanxiang tried to snatch it back, but Zhazha turned around and bared its teeth at her, making a warning sound in its throat, "Sssss!"
Yuanxiang recalled the scene of being scratched on the face by Zhazha and tilted her head back. In the struggle, the small wounds reopened, and she cried on the spot from the pain.
Chacha held up the purse and handed it to Yun Jinglan. She opened the purse, took out the jade pendant and examined it for a moment, then sneered, "It's a wonder you're so concerned about my Qiuqiu, even when stealing jade pendants you know to take the most valuable one."
"This is a gift bestowed by His Majesty, Yuanxiang! How many lives do you have to dare disrespect His Majesty!" Yun Jinglan shouted. "Guards! Seize this lowly servant and send her to the Prefect of the Capital!"
The servant responded and stepped forward to grab Yuanxiang. Yuanxiang casually pulled the hairpin off her head, closed her eyes, and stabbed wildly at the crowd.
Several people were injured in his erratic behavior.
While everyone else panicked, Yuanxiang calmed down.
She threw the hairpin in her hand to the ground and knelt down in front of Yun Jinglan with a thud.
With her bloodied face, she kowtowed desperately to Yun Jinglan: "Madam, it was Yuanxiang who was so wicked as to listen to the young master... no, it was Qiao Muyang! I shouldn't have been misled by Qiao Muyang and harmed the Marquis's mansion!"
She slapped her face desperately, the sound of flesh hitting flesh echoing, and more blood flowed from her face, making her distorted features even more terrifying.
"Madam! Please, for the sake of our past relationship, spare me! Madam, you are kind-hearted, please save me! If I am caught and taken back, I will be beaten to death!"
Yuanxiang was sold by a matchmaker to work as a maid in a household. Normally, as long as she behaved herself, the Marquis's mansion wouldn't bother with a maid like her. However, she somehow got in touch with Qiao Muyang and received his letter asking for help, wanting to go to the southwest to rescue her lover.
She was just a little maid; what ability could she possibly have to save someone? But the master of this mansion was quite capable, and he also had merchant caravans operating in the southwest.
She impulsively climbed into the master's bed.
Before she could even make a request, the next day the First Madam caught her in bed with another man, beat her severely, tattooed her name, and sold her to a brothel to become the lowest-class prostitute.
They tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead!
Yun Jinglan looked at her coolly. In fact, she was not interested in Yuanxiang's tragic experience. She just wanted to know how she got involved with Qiao Muyang again, and how she sneaked back into the Marquis's mansion to steal Qiuqiu's jade pendant!
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Yun Jinglan spoke up, and Yuanxiang thought she still had a chance. Having experienced hell on earth, Yuanxiang had long lost her former arrogance and betrayed Qiao Muyang without hesitation.
"Madam, Qiao Muyang found me after he returned to the capital. You have no idea, his face is ruined too. He's really ugly now! He looks like a pitiful dog!"
Yuanxiang hugged the bronze mirror and laughed heartily. While she was mocking Qiao Muyang, she was also mocking her own overestimation of her abilities.
If I had been able to control my desires and evil thoughts from the beginning, I wouldn't be in this situation today.
But she knew even more clearly that Qiao Muyang had played a significant role in pushing her step by step into the abyss.
She hates Qiao Muyang!
When Yuanxiang mentioned this person, she gritted her teeth in hatred. "He has ruined me so much. When he returned to the capital, he found me in the brothel. He told me to go to the address he gave me and find someone. That person would tell me something, and if I did it, he would give me money to redeem myself."
Chiu Chiu somehow managed to break free from the servants' control and quietly hid behind the crowd, listening intently for the latest news.
[What a cliché story; the ending will definitely be that he's tricked by Qiao Muyang again.]
[How could she be so stupid? She got fooled once or twice and still keeps getting fooled.]
Based on Qiuqiu's experience, Yuanxiang's task is to frame her!
[Bad girl! Beat her up!]
Yun Jinglan didn't have time to deal with the violent healer group right now. A quick glance around and she saw that everyone else looked normal, so she knew that the chatterbox's attacks were targeting her again.
Chiu Chiu: [Madam, please believe me, I truly had no choice!]
Yuanxiang: "Madam, please believe me, I have my reasons!"
Chuchu: [Madam, I never intended to hurt the beautiful, adorable, and invincible fairy Chuchu!]
Yuanxiang: "I never intended to harm anyone in the Marquis's mansion."
Chiu Chiu: [In short, she's innocent and pitiful!]
Yuanxiang: "Madam, none of this is my fault. It's all... all Qiao Muyang's fault!"
Chiu Chiu: [Qiao Muyang...]
"Enough!" Yun Jinglan felt like there were a thousand flies buzzing in her ears.
What sins did she commit in her past life? She had to hear the same thing twice, especially when Qiuqiu imitated her in that tone even when she was being so serious. Several times she almost burst out laughing.
Yuanxiang was stunned for a moment: "Madam..."
Yun Jinglan: "Shut up, Yuanxiang, continue."
Chiu Chiu was hurt, and pointed to her chubby cheeks to defend herself: "I didn't spit it out."
Yun Jinglan said "Oh," and then added, "So it's your breathing that's bothering me!"
Chirp: "???"
Her mother doesn't love her anymore!
Chiu Chiu got angry, and all her thoughts disappeared. Yun Jinglan felt that the world had become peaceful.
Yuanxiang was given permission to continue talking about her relationship with Qiao Muyang.
She was tortured by needles in the brothel, and although she hated Qiao Muyang and no longer trusted him, the words "redemption" were an immense temptation for her.
However, when she arrived at the address Qiao Muyang had given her, the place was deserted.
But she found a half-burnt note with several ways to frame Chuchu. She chose the easiest one to do.
She's gone mad; she thinks she's done her job framing Qiuqiu and they'll give her money.
But her despicable idea was shattered.
Yun Jinglan now genuinely suspects that the people from the Marquis's mansion may have dug up the ancestral graves of Qiao Muyang's family, otherwise why would they target them in everything, and now even Qiuqiu has been implicated.
Like a little doll, Qiuqiu was hugged and kissed twice by Yun Jinglan. She felt utterly hopeless: "Is it really because of me?"
Why are you trying to frame me?
Chiu Chiu touched her head, then slapped it hard, "I've sent it!"
"What do you know?" Yun Jinglan asked, puzzled. "What could you possibly know?"
Of course she knows everything!
[They must be framing me for colluding with the enemy, betraying my country, and selling out my friends for personal gain!]
Her indignant expression almost made Yun Jinglan faint.
She really knows how to flatter herself.
"Chirp chirp, someone like you can't be a traitor," Yun Jinglan said precisely. "You can't even speak properly!"
Chirp: "!!!"
