Chapter 35: Fainted from Being Scolded
Chapter 35
Xie Zhan stood up and said, "Ali, I'm sorry for dragging you down with this matter. If you want to blame someone, blame me."
Because of his father's impatience, the Xie family had been dragged into the game by the Zhao family. The Queen Mother had already left, and he couldn't show an attitude of marrying only Lu Songli, as that would directly offend the Queen Mother. At the same time, the Queen Mother's face also needed them to maintain.
Lu Songli asked Xie Zhan, "Why do you blame me? Do you blame me for wavering and not taking any action on this matter?"
Xie Zhan smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "What can I do? If possible, I don't want to hurt you, but Ah Li, the psychological pressure of carrying a life is very heavy."
Everyone heard the conversation between the two and nodded in agreement. As the one being fought over, Xie Zhan was indeed innocent.
Qin Sheng sneered in his heart and deliberately made some noise.
Everyone looked over, realizing there was another unlucky soul there. Then, after a brief reconciliation of their relationships, things came to a head. Xie Zhan was the hot commodity being fought over by two women, Qin Sheng had lost his only fiancée, and the most innocent was Lu Songli. The fiancé she'd risked her life for was being coveted by someone else, and someone had almost snatched her away.
At this moment, Zhao Yutan, with tears streaming down his face, covered his mouth, climbed up, and stumbled towards a pillar.
Everyone understood her intention.
"Quick, stop her!"
Everyone couldn't help but stand up, except Lu Songli who didn't move.
Qin Sheng was about to move, but when he saw Lu Songli's expression out of the corner of his eye, he stopped.
Zhao Yutan had lost a lot of blood when she attempted suicide by cutting her wrists, and her body was already weak. Although she was heading towards the pillar, she was not fast enough and was soon stopped by someone.
The person who stopped her was none other than Xie Zhan.
Seeing this scene, Lu Songli even smiled.
Zhao Yutan was taken back to his original seat.
"Why are you so stupid!" the Queen Mother asked her with disapproval.
"Empress Dowager, I don't want to embarrass you, nor do I want to make Ah Li sad." Zhao Yutan sobbed softly, "My reputation has been ruined, and my father and brother have been implicated by me. I really don't want to live in this world anymore."
The Queen Mother asked Lu Songli seriously, "She was also your good friend before. Can you watch her die because of rumors? Can you bear it?"
Lu Songli thought to herself, of course she had the heart to do that! The original owner had paid such a huge price for this marriage, why did Zhao Yutan just snatch it away? Was it because she was thick-skinned, because she had no shame?
Lu Songli said seriously, "Empress Dowager, you can't stop someone who is determined to die. You can stop him once, but not a second time."
If you don't do what she wants, you will die. You are not destined to be a princess, but you have princess syndrome. You really think that everyone in the world is your mother.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. No, what did she mean by this? I could stop her once, but not a second time. Were we just going to watch her commit suicide without doing anything to stop her?
Lu Songli's face was serious. "Also, Zhao Yutan, if you like Xie Zhan, you can come and snatch her away. After all, a woman's marriage is related to her life destiny, so using some tricks is nothing. But please don't use the title of my good friend and sister, Lu Songli, to snatch her away in the name of doing good for me. I would feel disgusted!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yutan's face turned pale as paper and he almost fainted.
Several princesses were shocked when they heard this. What Lu Songli said was really cruel. It was like tearing off Zhao Yutan's face and stepping on him a few times.
In fact, they also looked down on Zhao Yutan. She was clearly engaged to Xie Zhan, but she was still clinging to him. No one knew how she managed to get the Queen Mother to make the decision for her. Lu Songli's words almost directly accused the Queen Mother of aiding and abetting the evil.
Bang! The Empress Dowager slammed the table fiercely. "How dare you!" Her irrelevant answer ignited the Empress Dowager's anger. She had insulted Zhao Yutan so shamelessly, so what kind of person had she become for always defending him? Wasn't this essentially implying that Zhao Yutan had faked his own suicide, that she, the Empress Dowager, couldn't distinguish right from wrong?
"Your Highness, it wasn't me who was being presumptuous, it was Zhao Yutan," Lu Songli asked sternly. "Zhao Yutan committed suicide in front of you. This is a sign of dissatisfaction with you, Your Highness. For such disrespect for the royal family, shouldn't Your Highness punish her?"
Everyone was stunned at first, and then, when they came to their senses, they all looked at her in disbelief. "Are you serious?" Everyone looked at each other, their eyes exchanging wildly.
What she said makes a lot of sense.
Zhao Yutan was going to be killed by her.
Zhao Yutan stopped crying and looked at the Empress Dowager in panic, "Empress Dowager, I don't have any dissatisfaction with you."
Lu Songli said coldly, "No dissatisfaction? Then, when you threatened the Queen Mother with death, weren't you dissatisfied with her not making the decision for you?"
Zhao Yutan cried and shook her head, "No, no, don't slander me."
The Queen Mother looked at Lu Songli with disgust, "Enough! Lu Songli, do you think you are so smart?"
"Your servant didn't." Of course Lu Songli couldn't admit it.
The Queen Mother said nothing, but instead looked coldly at His Highness, Lv Songli. It was too bad. Lv Songli's advancing steps reminded her of the powerlessness she felt when she was a concubine and had no control over things. She hadn't felt this way in many years.
The Queen Mother's cold gaze fell on her, and Lu Songli felt it clearly. Was she so violent? Was she so unreasonable? She didn't blame Xie Zhan for concealing the truth, nor did she blame Zhao Yutan for putting her in this dilemma. Instead, she blamed herself, the victim. Interesting.
Zhao Yutan stood up from his seat and knelt down. "Everything is up to the Empress Dowager. I have no complaints." After saying that, he fainted.
Lu Songli glanced at her and fainted at the right time.
Doctor Chen was there, so the Queen Mother asked him to take Zhao Yutan's pulse. After taking his pulse, Doctor Chen reported that Zhao Yutan had fainted due to excessive blood loss, weakness, and the shock of the incident. He said that he would be fine with proper rest. Zhao Yutan was then moved to a nearby couch.
The faces of several princes' wives turned red with excitement, but they didn't dare to show it. They twisted the handkerchiefs in their hands, symbolizing their uneasy hearts.
Wonderful!
A decisive blow.
Lu Songli's fighting ability is too strong. She turned a losing situation around!
Zhao Yutan was always blamed and was no match for her at all.
This girl, Lu Songli, has truly inherited her father's skills. Even the Empress Dowager was speechless because of her.
Gao, this skill of making trouble is first-class.
If Lu Songli knew what they were thinking, she would definitely throw up her hands and say that she couldn't do anything about it. When I talk to you about rules, you talk to me about human feelings. When I talk to you about human feelings, you talk to me about rules.
Seeing Zhao Yutan fainted from being frightened by Lu Songli, a smile flashed across Qin Sheng's eyes and his toes moved. At this moment, he wanted to roar to the sky, then turn 360 degrees and punch.
Xie Zhan looked at Lu Songli deeply.
The scene was silent at this time, no one spoke, and everyone was waiting for the Queen Mother's next move.
