Xia Bingqing had no interest in what was said after that, nor could she hear it at all. All she knew was that if Zhang Ma woke up, then all the things she had done back then would be exposed, and then she would be finished.
"Did Zhang... Zhang Ma say anything...?" Xia Bingqing asked tremblingly.
At the same time, Mu Nanxun's questioning gaze also turned to Xiao Fang.
"Nothing to say," Xiao Fang replied. "Zhang Ma just woke up and is still a bit disoriented, speaking in fits and starts. But the doctor said this is normal and she needs some time to recover. Oh, by the way, boss, Zhang Ma seems to want to see you."
"What!" Xia Bingqing exclaimed before Mu Nanxun could reply. Then, realizing her lapse in composure, she tried to explain, "I, I mean, Brother Xun is so busy, and Zhang Ma is just a servant. How can a young master of a household personally visit a servant? How about, how about I go see her for Brother Xun?"
What a joke! That old woman surnamed Zhang wants to see Mu Nanxun, she must want to tell him what happened back then. Wouldn't that be bad for her? She absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen.
Upon hearing this, Mu Nanxun frowned, as if he hadn't heard Xia Bingqing's words, and said to Xiao Fang, "Tomorrow, I have something important to do today." After saying that, he walked straight out. Xiao Fang followed him.
After walking a distance, Xiao Fang looked at Mu Nanxun, hesitating to speak.
"Speak your mind."
"Boss, I feel that Miss Xia is acting strangely today, unlike usual."
After a pause, Mu Nanxun glanced behind him and saw Xia Bingqing still standing there in a daze. He then looked at Xiao Fang and whispered, "Tonight, we're going to see Zhang Ma."
"Oh, but boss, didn't you say you had something important to do today and would go tomorrow?"
"If I go tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Xiao Fang was completely confused and didn't understand Mu Nanxun's meaning. But he never hesitated to follow his boss's orders.
"Alright then, boss, I'll arrange it right away."
On the other side, even after Mu Nanxun and Xiao Fang had walked quite a distance away, Xia Bingqing remained immersed in fear and terror.
Zhang Ma woke up. She knew all of Zhang Ma's secrets. Moreover, Zhang Ma's vegetative state was also thanks to her.
Now, Zhang Ma specifically requests to see Mu Nanxun. If she sees Mu Nanxun, she will definitely reveal everything.
What to do, what to do?
Xia Bingqing trembled uncontrollably, her face pale. She couldn't even imagine what would happen to her if Mu Nanxun found out the truth.
Why don't we run away? While Mu Nanxun is still unaware of the truth, she escapes to a faraway place, somewhere none of them know.
But if she escapes, all her efforts over the years will have been in vain! Besides, with only her lazy, good-for-nothing brother by her side, where can she possibly go? Even if she escapes to the ends of the earth, Mu Nanxun will catch her and bring her back!
She's been driven to the brink of despair; no matter which way she goes, it's a dead end.
Unless... unless Mu Nanxun never knows the truth!
Then, the only option left is to burn our bridges.
After a long while, a vicious glint flashed in Xia Bingqing's eyes. She gradually tightened her grip, and the shards in her palm cut her skin, causing bright red blood to seep from between her fingers and drip onto the floor.
