Xie Mingzhu gave a cold laugh.
"Sitting in the well for too long makes you think that the well opening is the whole sky."
Do you still think things are the same as they were decades ago, where you can just say whatever you want and it's all the same?
"Let us tell you something else. Xie Wanying has been arrested and imprisoned. We just received the news before we came that she confessed everything in order to get a reduced sentence."
He Caixia became visibly nervous.
"What...what did she say?"
Huang Meiling curled her lips into a smile.
"So nervous? Are you nervous that she'll expose that you knew about the identity swap all along, or are you nervous that she'll reveal that you went to the capital to find her, told her your true identities, and secretly plotted to gain something from it?"
He Caixia's eyes widened: "That brat even said all this?!"
Huang Meiling narrowed her eyes, decided to play along, and nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Xie Wanying described this very clearly. She even told you the time, place, and the content of your conversation at the time without missing a single word."
"You two are the masterminds behind this."
"The evidence is conclusive now, so it's no use denying it even if you insist on it."
"Under the law, no one can escape punishment for doing bad things."
"You two, just wait to go to jail!"
Song Yongfu and He Caixia were completely dumbfounded.
They never expected Xie Wanying to be so ruthless.
They kindly told Xie Wanying the truth, letting her know that she wasn't a daughter of the Xie family, yet she had enjoyed so much good fortune from them for so many years.
If it were them, they would at least be secretly happy and thank the person who told them the news.
And this heartless person actually exposed them!
The reason they told Xie Wanying the truth was simply so that she would remember their kindness and give them more benefits.
Now look what's happened! He hasn't gained any benefits, and he's gotten himself into trouble, causing a lot of trouble for himself.
This is a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead!
"Ungrateful wretch! Xie Wanying is an ungrateful wretch!!"
He Caixia gritted her teeth, both angry and anxious.
They couldn't accept this mudslinging for nothing. Since Xie Wanying had been unkind to them, they shouldn't blame them for being unkind to her in return!
Since the situation couldn't get any worse, the two of them decided to just give up and go all out.
"We knew about it all along, but Xie Wanying isn't as innocent as she claims!"
"She didn't find out the truth when we went to the capital to find him; she already knew it when she was ten years old! We only found out about this after we talked to him during our last trip to the capital."
"For so many years, she has deliberately used her status as the daughter of the Xie family to enjoy your care and your family's resources."
"He did this knowingly and deliberately! We're not good people, and she's even less so!"
Song Yongfu and He Caixia gritted their teeth in exasperation.
“You must not let her go. She is the real culprit who caused your daughter to suffer in the countryside. At most, we are just cooperating with her and helping her keep this secret from being told to outsiders.”
This Xie Wanying betrayed them so ruthlessly, and now she wants to use that betrayal to get a reduced sentence? No way!
At worst, we'll all perish together, and nobody will benefit!
Huang Meiling and Xie Wenyuan exchanged a glance, their faces turning cold.
Just as expected, it was exactly as Shu Ying had guessed.
—In fact, they had guessed before that Xie Wanying might have known all along, since her frantic taking of valuable items from the house and her greed for money did not happen suddenly.
She's been like this since she was very young—selfish, domineering, shameless, and greedy.
They had suspected this for a long time, but they had never had any evidence.
Before they left, Shu Ying specifically reminded them that they could try to trick them, which might yield some unexpected results.
Unexpectedly, Shu Ying's prediction came true. With a little coaxing, the couple revealed the whole truth of the matter.
Now that there are witnesses and testimonies, no matter how Xie Wanying tries to defend herself, it's useless.
Song Yaozu, who was listening nearby, was dumbfounded.
Thinking back to this time yesterday, he was still at home, excitedly discussing with his parents how to take Zhu Chunhong for himself without spending a penny on dowry, how to trick her into coming home, how to force her into marriage, and how to coerce his parents into submission.
When he left home today, he happily told his parents that he would bring his wife back today so that they could have a big celebration and a wedding banquet this month.
They could even use Chunhong's situation to threaten her family and force them to give her more dowry, so that her family wouldn't have to worry about food and drink for the next year.
Everything was planned perfectly. He thought he would soon marry a wife who would do all the heavy and chores for his family, so his parents wouldn't have to do anything and could enjoy their retirement.
Before he could even put his plan into action, his parents were about to be arrested...
What he found most unbelievable was that Song Zhaodi, the so-called "older sister" he had never treated like a human being since childhood, had actually returned in a different guise to take revenge.
He assumed that the dead woman had probably fallen into some remote mountain village during her escape and been torn apart and eaten by wild animals.
As a result, she not only returned perfectly fine, but she also seems to be living a more comfortable life than before.
The bruises that used to frequently appear on her body and face are gone, and her sallow complexion has become whiter and more radiant than before.
Even the clothes he wears are obviously high-end; one of them is worth several of his other clothes.
And most importantly, she was accompanied by soldiers who were protecting her at all times!
Song Yaozu became increasingly angry, his nose almost crooked from rage.
He never even dared to dream of such a good life, and this damned woman got to enjoy it first!
All the trouble that happened today is because of his "older sister"!
This is a disaster!
Song Yaozu looked up at Xie Mingzhu with resentment.
Her noble demeanor, like that of a pampered young lady, made him feel extremely unbalanced, which in turn fueled his anger and resentment.
This lowly slut is nothing but a woman, and one he's never treated like a human being since she was a child.
Besides giving birth, what other use does Song Zhaodi have?
This useless thing should have spent its whole life crawling on the ground, living by humbly begging for their pity; it should have been destined to be exploited and drained of its life until death!
Why is she now surrounded by people so noblely, and why are so many people willing to stand up for her?
A group of people beat his parents until they looked like pigs, and he was even detained by the police and couldn't move.
This shouldn't be happening. What right does Song Zhaodi, this lowly creature born with a worthless fate, have?!
She should be trampled into the mud by him, never able to lift her head again for the rest of her life!
It'll rot in this remote mountain valley!
He's the one who deserves a good life!
