I won't be coming here again. We've been married for 23 years, so today is my farewell to you."
Qian Yeying spoke these words from the heart, not to deliberately anger Xia Muwan or to provoke her with such words. After all, she had already become like this and had received the greatest retribution, so there was no need for him to provoke her again.
However, no one knows a wife better than her husband. Although this couple was a pair of unhappy lovers, Qian Yeying undoubtedly understood Xia Muwan best. These words also pierced Xia Muwan's heart, and every word was a kind of torture to her.
Indeed, when she learned that Murong Qingyun was captured, she was worried, sad, and even more angry. She even cut off her bound wrists with a knife just to see Murong Qingyu and Murong Qingyun.
However, she later failed to persuade Qian Yeming and Baili Xiao, and attempted to poison them with poison powder, but failed. The moment she was carried back to the bedroom, she felt a little regretful.
Because she had been away from Murong Qingyun for a long time, she felt guilty. In addition, she had always loved Murong Qingyu and always felt that she was Murong Qingyu's woman. Therefore, when it came to Murong Qingyun, her son, she treated herself as a mother. And she was a mother who owed her child.
She harbored resentment towards Qian Yeming because she hated Qian Yeying. Furthermore, Qian Yeming usually stayed by her side, and she didn't like or care for him, and with that resentment, she had grown accustomed to bossing her son around and accepting his obedience for the 22 years from the moment she gave birth to him to the day he became emperor.
And when he finally stopped being submissive to her and obeying her orders, her anger and resentment would intensify.
So, her venomous actions towards Qian Yeming and Baili Xiao weren't so much about her hatred for them for not saving Murong Qingyun as it was about her hatred for Baili Xiao. Ever since she'd conceived this woman, her son, born after ten months of pregnancy, had sided with her. Not only did he disrespect her, he even disobeyed her imperial decrees.
People are just like that. If someone is always nice to someone else, unconditionally and without reason, and obeys them, then if one day they suddenly do something that doesn't go their way, then that person, whether they're family or friends, will curse them in the face.
On the contrary, when a person is always mean to another person and opposes the other person in everything, but one day this person does something good that benefits the other person, he or she will be extremely praised.
Qian Yeming and Murong Qingyun were like this in her mind. Qian Yeming had always been by her side, obeying her unconditionally, so for her, Qian Yeming's obedience was a matter of course. If one day Qian Yeming disobeyed and lost control, she would be unable to bear it.
Murong Qingyun was not by her side all year round, and every time they met, it was to make demands on her, even bossing her around and looking down on her. But she had long been accustomed to the way they got along, so no matter how Murong Qingyun treated her, she felt it was her due.
She wasn't stupid. Without Murong Qingyu and Murong Qingyun's support, she would have to rely on Qian Yeming for the rest of her life. As long as Qian Yeming gave in to her even a little bit, even if he took a half step back and gave Murong Qingyun a good death, or even if he didn't give Murong Qingyun a good death, he promised not to hang him at the city gate for everyone to see, she wouldn't do such a thing.
