"Are you crazy? When did we steal anything from you?" Even if Xiang Wan knew the original plot, she had never provoked Qin Rong since she came here, so why did Qin Rong hate her so much?
"Your very existence is a mistake. Why did you come to the Qin family? Why did you marry my father?" Qin Rong pointed at the Queen Mother as if she were going mad, her eyes red and her voice hoarse. "It was you who killed my own mother. Our family was so happy before. My mother devoted herself to managing the Qin family, and my father ran the business. Ever since my father met you, my mother was depressed and died with resentment. If you hadn't shamelessly seduced her, how could my mother have died? It's all your fault! You owe me my mother's life!"
Qin Rong suddenly lunged at the Queen Mother, catching Xiang Wan off guard and leaving her no time to react. Just as Qin Rong was about to pounce on her, Xiang Xia pulled the Queen Mother aside, turned around, and shoved Qin Rong to the ground.
Still shaken, the Queen Mother took a deep breath and calmed herself down before giving Qin Rong a sharp look.
“You’re probably hating the wrong person. I met your father later, and your mother died of illness before me. If you insist on blaming me for your mother’s death, I have nothing to say.”
"Hahaha, hahahahaha." Qin Rong laughed angrily, then tears streamed down her face. "Why do you think my mother got sick? You still won't admit what you did?"
"Where did you learn this skill of slandering people from?"
Xiang Wan demanded an explanation. Even if she didn't believe Qin Rong, she believed the original owner's memories and that there was absolutely no story of the Queen Mother killing Qin Rong's biological mother.
"I'm slandering you? Who was it that shamelessly seduced my father? My mother was still thinking of him when she was sick, but all he could think about was you, the widow of the Wang family. My mother's body was barely cold when he brought you and your two bastard children, whose father we don't even know, into the Qin mansion. He deserves to die!"
"What? Master Qin's death is related to you?" The Queen Mother was shocked and looked at Qin Rong in disbelief, her whole body trembling.
"Someone like him, who betrays his own people, died too easily, hahaha..."
"Tell me, tell me quickly, how did you kill him? He was your own father!" Tears streamed down Wang's mother's face, and she aged ten years in an instant. Xiang Wan and Xiang Xia embraced Wang's mother on either side, afraid that she would collapse.
"He always dotes on me, but did he even ask for my opinion before letting you into his mansion? He's a selfish hypocrite, all talk and no action. All his kindness towards me is fake, completely fake! You two sisters are probably his illegitimate daughters, tricking me into letting you into the mansion just to give you a legitimate status. Don't think I don't know. You adulterous bastards deserve to go to hell!"
With a "smack," Wang Mu raised her hand and slapped Qin Rong hard across the face. She pointed at Qin Rong, her fingers trembling, too angry to speak.
"Heh, getting angry now? Did I hit the nail on the head?" Qin Rong covered her swollen cheek, slowly turning her head, her eyes full of mockery. "Let me tell you the truth, as soon as you entered the manor, I instructed Wang Ma to tamper with your food. Any slight cold or flu could be fatal. You'd better pray you never get sick in your lives!"
"How could you be so vicious? Our father and your father are not the same person at all. You've misunderstood and want to take revenge on us. So, about the time you tried to send us to human traffickers, were we supposed to skin you alive?" Xiang Wan retorted angrily.
"You two wretches, how come you're so lucky? You were about to be sent away, and then you ran into a benefactor." Qin Rong said bitterly, turning her head to see Yuan Feng standing to the side. She got up and walked over, her pleading voice echoing in the room, "Feng, it's me, Rong'er! Don't you recognize me? We're husband and wife, the happiest couple in the world! How could you fall for someone else? Did Rong'er do something wrong? Rong'er has changed, okay? Feng, please don't ignore me. Rong'er will be the wife you love again, bear your children, and we'll live a good life together, okay?"
Qin Rong reached out and grabbed Yuan Feng's arm, refusing to let go, which made Yuan Feng frown repeatedly. He then pulled hard and pushed Qin Rong aside.
"I don't know you!"
"How could this be? Ah Feng, we've already gone through the wedding ceremony, we had a grand wedding, do you remember? The bracelet you put on my finger..." Qin Rong paused, her hands frantically searching her clothes, "Where's the bracelet? Where is it? How could I lose something so important? Did you take it? Did you?"
As Qin Rong rummaged through her belongings, Xiang Wan sensed something was amiss. In her past life, Qin Rong had indeed married Yuan Feng, but the original owner of this body hadn't witnessed it. Hearing Qin Rong's words now, Xiang Wan suspected she might be dreaming about what happened in that life. So, when Qin Rong asked them for the bracelet, Xiang Wan said ominously, "We've already been killed by you, why should we take your bracelet?"
Qin Rong froze, glancing at the three women, fear filling her eyes. Her teeth chattered as she backed away, shaking her head. "Don't come looking for me! Don't come looking for me! It wasn't me! Don't look for me... Ah Feng, save me! Don't ignore me! Ah Feng, I know I was wrong! Please save me! Please come..."
Xiang Wan watched silently as Qin Rong cowered in the corner, her eyes filled with despair and fear. She learned the reason for the original owner's tragedy in her past life from Qin Rong's words, and couldn't help but sigh. The original owner's luck was truly terrible; she encountered someone like Qin Rong, a person full of unfounded suspicion and scheming, who heartlessly treated her as a close friend, not only causing the death of the Queen Mother but also implicating Xiang Xia. Ultimately, Xiang Xia was the most innocent person in her past life.
In her past life, Qin Rong schemed against her father, then against her mother and two daughters, and even her own marriage was likely part of her plan. However, judging from her words just now, the perfect husband she schemed for will probably leave her in the end, which can be considered karma.
Xiang Wan glanced at Yuan Feng with a mocking look, thinking to herself: Even someone like you gets manipulated when it comes to relationships. Yuan Feng glanced at Xiang Wan, touched his nose, and walked away somewhat boredly.
"Xia'er, Wan'er, although it's a bit inappropriate to discuss this now, I'm already tired." The Queen Mother sighed, pulling Xiang Wan and Xiang Xia in front of her. She wanted to go to Qin Rong, but stopped in her tracks under Qin Rong's fearful and timid gaze. She turned to Yuan Feng and said, "Your Highness, since you've heard about what happened in our Qin family, please bear witness to what I'm about to say!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng glanced at Xiang Wan and nodded.
