Liu Juan laughed, and looked at Zhang Madam with a bit of coldness in her eyes: "What you call treating me sincerely is to let me be someone else's concubine. You are lying to me that I have got my indenture back, but you actually haven't!"
Madam Zhang was speechless for a moment. What Liu Juan said was indeed true, and she was unable to refute it. In this matter, the fault was indeed hers. If she had not cherished the silver and was reluctant to give it to Liu Juan to get the indenture back, perhaps she would not have caused such trouble.
Seeing Madam Zhang standing aside with a look of self-blame and refusing to say anything, Liu Juan finally understood what this woman was like. She seemed unable to support herself and took two steps backwards. She couldn't keep her balance and fell down.
"hehe."
Liu Juan suddenly laughed crazily. Nangong Jin behind her also opened his fan with interest when he saw this scene. The young ladies from wealthy families in the capital that he had met before all paid the most attention to their status and would never do such a thing. No matter how much they hated the other party, they would also use some very concealed tricks to get revenge. It was the first time he met someone like Liu Juan, who didn't even care about the lives of her own family, so it was inevitable that he was curious.
As if she knew she couldn't escape, Liu Juan fell to the ground and began to recount her experience: "You all say that I have brought this upon myself, but I want to ask you, which one of you is not the murderer who contributed to my current situation?"
Liu Juan said as she slowly stood up, took a step forward to Madam Zhang and said, "You said that I should regard you as my biological mother, but how did you treat me? You lied to me and used me. You knew Xu Qingshan didn't want to, and you knew that their love was stronger than gold, but you still used me to take Xu Qingshan away. You were just afraid that your son would fall into the gentle arms of Gu Yuanniang and that he would not even care about you as his mother."
"Xu Miaomiao, what kind of good person are you?" Liu Juan looked at Xu Miaomiao with red eyes and said, "You are Gu Yuanniang's good friend, so you naturally side with her in everything. I have nothing to blame, but you repeatedly persuaded me to leave Xu Qingshan, saying that as long as I am willing, the Song Mansion will always support me. But have you ever thought about where my life contract is? I must listen to her and please Xu Qingshan. Do you think I am willing?"
"I was once a noble lady in the capital. What did we do wrong? It was nothing more than my father not wanting to go along with them. It was nothing more than my father being framed for being fair. In the end, he ended up with this solution. Even when he was on the road to exile, he still told me that he had never let anyone down, except me."
Liu Juan was a little emotional when she said this, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, "Even if I was exiled, I never thought of blaming others, but what have I suffered? Nangong Jin, the great general and prime minister of the Southern Kingdom, has always been outstanding for his strict military discipline. How could such a filthy person exist in such a strict army!"
Seeing Liu Juan asking himself, Nangong Jin frowned. He really hadn't considered these things. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen in the army. Nangong Jin touched his nose awkwardly.
"But that's also a life, it's your own child, how could you bear to..."
"What do you mean by biological child?" Liu Juan asked Xu Miaomiao, "Do you want me to keep him? Do you want me to keep him as a reminder all the time that I was insulted? Do you want me to carry this shame for the rest of my life?"
"So that's not Qingshan's child." Gu Yuanniang also stepped forward and looked at Liu Juan and spoke.
Liu Juan smiled slightly: "Of course not. Although he was drugged that night, he was so sleepy that he couldn't possibly touch me. Everything was just a show I carefully planned."
Hearing this, Xu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief. He and Gu Yuanniang looked at each other before letting it go.
"Now that things have come to this, I have no face to live on. Dad, Mom, I am sorry for you. I am here to accompany you now."
After Liu Juan finished speaking, she seemed to muster up great courage and ran towards the pillar next to her. Suddenly, no one could react.
Nangong Jin looked at this comic scene as if he had not expected it at all, his brows were tightly furrowed.
"Why are you still standing there? Someone come quickly!"
Xu Miaomiao reacted immediately and shouted towards the door, and everyone who reacted immediately gathered in front of Liu Juan.
After another round of fighting in Malun, the yard finally became quiet.
"Mr. Nangong, it's my fault. I've made you laugh at our family again."
"Madam Xu, what are you talking about? This Liu Juan incident has implicated the Ninth Princess, and her tragedy has nothing to do with me. I never thought that such a thing could happen in my army."
Xu Miaomiao pursed her lips and said nothing.
"By the way, Madam Xu, what are you going to do with Liu Juan in the future? If you want to report to the police, just hand it over to me. This will save you a lot of trouble." Nangong Jin waved the fan in his hand, looked at Xu Miaomiao, and spoke seriously.
Xu Miaomiao sighed, "Liu Juan has become like this now, but what she said was right. I was too biased towards Liu Niang before and didn't even understand the original meaning of the matter. I am indeed at fault for this matter. Since Nangong Guanxi has thoroughly investigated the matter of the Ninth Princess, Liu Juan is my Song Mansion's business, so I won't bother Nangong Xiang."
Nangong Jin smiled slightly when he heard this. Xu Miaomiao was still too soft-hearted and didn't want Liu Juan to be captured by him.
"In that case, I will take my leave first."
"Miao Miao respectfully sends Nangong Xianggong off."
Xu Miaomiao bowed to the person in front of her, watched the man leave, turned back into the house, and began to take the pulse of the still unconscious Liu Juan. When Xu Miaomiao withdrew her hand, Gu Yuanniang immediately came over anxiously.
"How is it, Miaomiao? Nothing happened, I hope."
In response to Gu Yuanniang's question, Xu Miaomiao shook her head: "It's nothing serious, he just lost too much blood and fainted. We have to wait until the person wakes up to see what's going on."
Only then did Gu Yuanniang feel relieved. Madam Zhang outside the door kept looking inside but hesitated and did not dare to go in.
"Mother." Gu Yuanniang bowed to the people outside the house: "Don't worry, mother. Nothing's wrong now."
Hearing this, Madam Zhang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're alright."
She had grown up in a wealthy family all her life, bound by the rules for women, and had never imagined that someone would die. She was still frightened when she thought about it now.
