When he saw Wang Lingyi, he smiled bitterly and said, "You've already won the young marquis' heart and have a child with him, yet you're still so wary of me that you want to kill me. It shows he originally liked me.
I am only inferior in status and position, but a woman who is too cruel and vicious will lose his heart. If you poison me, you will eventually lose his heart."
Wang Lingyi said, "You think too much. He has never liked you. He treats you differently because he knows you are his cousin.
Later, I protected you who poisoned me because of a few city defense maps.
I poisoned you not because you are worthy of fear, but because you poisoned me and caused the miscarriage of a child. I must seek justice for the child and myself.
Before I was able to find the Guiguzi Doctor and receive his treatment, my relatives were worried about me every day, and I myself suffered greatly from the poison.
My child's life, and all I've suffered, are worth the poison you must taste."
Yang Jingxue asked Wang Lingyi, "Why are you telling me this now, all these years later? Why didn't you tell me back then?"
Wang Lingyi said, "Because I'm afraid you'll think I'm cruel and vicious."
"How come?"
Wang Lingyi said, “I took in and cured Qinghe, a maidservant with nowhere to go. Because of her testimony, Huang Mengling, the former wife of the Duke of Xiang, who murdered Lou Mingyue and her daughter, was brought to justice.
Qinghe was also brutally abused by Huang Mengling and her daughter. He suffered from a lot of chronic illnesses, his bones were broken and dislocated, and his face was disfigured by a branding iron.
I thought she would understand better than my eight maids how I felt about feeding Chunliu poison.
But I was wrong. Chunliu was a maid, and she was also a maid. I was seeking revenge, but in Qinghe's eyes, I was just like Huang Mengling and her daughter.
Cruel and vicious.
She was so frightened that she fled overnight. I sent someone to find her and gave her the indenture that the Lou brothers had given me, along with some silver.
After that, I realized how hard it is to empathize with others. So I won't talk about it anymore.
But I met the Queen two days ago.
Although I don't know what happened, I always feel that there is something going on between the Queen and Huang Mengling.
While walking in the Imperial Garden, I happened to see a palace maid who looked like Huang Mengling bowing to the Queen.
When we were just the two of us and continued walking, the queen suddenly told me that Huang Mengling was sentenced to death by beheading, but before the execution, she sent someone to execute Huang Mengling.
The reason is that Lou Mingyue and Huang Zhiyi, mother and daughter, died too tragically. This kind of torture is horrifying to hear about. We must seek justice for the mother and daughter by giving them a taste of their own medicine.
The queen said that after a night of punishment, Huang Mengling, who had once mocked Lou Mingyue and Huang Zhiyi for being incontinent when they were tortured by her, had already become a half-dead ghost with feces and urine all over her body.
She was spared a breath and was beheaded the next day. Faced with the execution, she became so spineless that she wished she could die.
The Queen said that she finally found someone who could understand her and confide in her feelings about having done this, which made her feel extremely relieved.
So, I realized that I actually wanted to talk to someone.”
Yang Jingxue said, "Lingyi, thank you."
