She survived because Jiang Shumiao saved her. Zhuang Xiuyan, who harmed people, still shows no remorse. Why should she be let off so easily?
Just as she was about to get up, Madam Ning could no longer contain herself. "Mother is right, they are both my daughters. Xiuyan did such a thing because I, as her mother, failed to raise her properly and dared not speak up. But even now, she still refuses to admit her mistake. If she doesn't admit it, she naturally won't change. With such a temperament, it's fine at home, since her parents and elders protect her. But what will she be like when she goes out into the world?"
That's a very strong statement.
Before Old Madam Zhuang could speak, Zhuang Xiuyan trembled and cried, "Mother, you are determined to take my life today. Fine, the kindness of giving birth to you is greater than heaven. My life was given to me by you, Mother. Now that you want to take it back, I will have no complaints. As for Grandmother and Father, there is no need to say anything. My sister has suffered such a great injustice, and someone must repay it."
Zhuang Xiyan was so angry at her behavior that she couldn't speak.
Cheng Jinyi looked around and was truly amazed.
Favoritism among parents and children is common, but someone like Madam Zhuang is truly rare.
"You don't need to cry and whine here, claiming you've been wronged. The country has its laws, and Heaven has its justice. I've heard the Goddess often say that good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished. If you don't get your comeuppance in this life, you will surely pay for it after death. Since you have a clear conscience, I suppose you have nothing to fear."
This is true psychological warfare.
When facing her own family, Zhuang Xiuyan could cry and evade the issue. But she knew what she had done, and she was even more afraid of Jiang Shumiao's reputation as a goddess, so she dared not accept such a response under any circumstances.
Even Old Madam Zhuang looked wary and troubled.
Zhuang Xiyan suddenly spoke up, "In the past six months, you haven't been satisfied with any of the men Mother has found for you. I suppose you're planning to marry into the Cheng family as a second wife after I die, right?"
His words astonished everyone present.
The three people above all changed color abruptly.
Zhuang Xiuyan's most secret scheme was exposed in public, and her face showed complete panic. She subconsciously said, "I didn't, elder sister. I know you resent Father and Grandmother for favoring me and disliking me. But how important is a young lady's reputation? How could you do this to me?"
Zhuang Xiyan looked at her husband with a slightly apologetic expression.
"I didn't originally intend to pursue this matter to this point, but..."
"I see."
Cheng Jinyi's eyes were full of trust. "It's not your fault. You don't need to blame yourself."
The implication is that Zhuang Xiuyan is shameless.
Zhuang Xiuyan suddenly felt everything go black.
Just then, someone outside announced that Princess Fule had arrived.
