Chapter 132: Evil Heart, Motive to Harm Others
Nangong Muyan's face turned pale, and she staggered back a step.
The maid behind her was also panicked, and she raised her head suddenly, first looking at Nangong Ya, then at Nangong Muyan, and then lowered her head and twisted her fingers hard.
"Husband! What did you say!"
Luo Siyi's anxious voice came from behind, Nangong Ya ignored it, stepped forward and stared at Nangong Muyan and continued: "After I went to Jiangnan, you also deceived your mother and took Ling'er to the house outside the capital, right?"
"You beat her, you broke her hands and feet, burned her face with a branding iron, and fed her a mute drug. Finally, you asked Butler Ma to find a trafficker to sell her to a place far away from the capital, right?"
"You also colluded with Ling'er's maid Dongmei and fabricated the rumor that she eloped with someone. Before I came back, you let the matter spread all over the capital, right - right - right?" Nangong Ya became more and more angry and heartbroken as he spoke.
Seeing the panic on Nangong Muyan's face, he knew that he had not wronged her at all.
His own daughter is a vicious woman!
"Dad -" Nangong Muyan struggled and tried to make excuses. The next moment, there was a "pop" sound, and a slap was slapped mercilessly on her face. This slap made Jiang Ning's heart jump, for no other reason than that Nangong Muyan's face always reminded her of that woman, and she really couldn't imagine the scene of that woman being slapped. The strength of the angry man was not something Nangong Muyan, a lady from a noble family, could bear. She was slapped to the ground, half of her face swelled up in an instant, blood oozed from the corners of her mouth, her eyes were blank, and she was obviously stunned. "Yan'er!" Luo Siyi was so shocked by the string of information Nangong Ya said that she forgot to react. It was not until this slap that she woke up from a dream. She shouted and quickly walked to Nangong Muyan and squatted down, trying to help her up. "Madam, don't move." Nangong Ya pulled Luo Siyi up forcefully, put her behind him, and said without turning his head: "Nangong Muyan deceived her parents, harmed her siblings, and her mind is so vicious. If I don't teach her a lesson, I will be sorry for Ling'er and the ancestors of the Nangong family!" "Husband, could you be wrong? Could you be wrong?" Luo Siyi pulled Nangong Ya's sleeve, her eyes were full of tears, and she looked so pitiful that Nangong Ya felt distressed. "Madam, I also hope that I am wrong, but the evidence is as strong as a mountain." Nangong Ya slowed down his voice and gently wiped the tears from Luo Siyi's face. Luo Siyi cried even harder. She looked at her daughter who fell to the ground, and then at her husband in front of her. She had no choice but to cry. Nangong Ya turned his gaze to the maid Xiaoqing who was standing beside him and trembling all over. Before he could say anything, the maid knelt down with a "thump". She lowered her head almost to her chest, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead. "You are her personal maid. You know everything, right?" Nangong Ya asked. Xiaoqing was shaking like a sieve. She opened her mouth but couldn't say a word. But everyone knew what this behavior meant. Nangong Ya had no patience for a maid, "Jin Yao, take her away and deal with her the same way as housekeeper Ma and Dongmei." Xiaoqing looked up in horror and cried, "Sir, it was the young lady who asked me to do it. It was all the young lady's--" Before she could finish her words, her mouth was blocked by Jin Yao and then dragged away. Only the family of three were left in the room. Except for Luo Siyi's low sobs, no one spoke. Nangong Muyan climbed up from the ground by herself, half of her face was swollen, and there were bright red bloodstains at the corners of her mouth. "Oh! It was all my fault, so what? Are you going to beat me to death for that bastard?" Things have come to this point, what's so bad about admitting it. Nangong Muyan looked at Nangong Ya with provocation in her eyes. "You!" Nangong Ya was so angry at her nonchalant tone that his breathing stagnated, and one hand was raised high, ready to hit down. "Hit me!" Nangong Muyan stiffened his neck, and instead of retreating, he moved his face forward: "Come on, beat me to death!" "Yan'er!" Luo Siyi cried and rushed up, pulling Nangong Muyan back: "Don't be like this, don't talk to your father like this..." Nangong Ya's chest kept heaving, and he finally put down the raised hand. "Why?" Nangong Ya looked at Nangong Muyan and asked, "Is it because of Prince Rui? Are you going to harm your sisters just for a man?" "Prince Rui? Hahaha..." Nangong Muyan suddenly laughed out loud, eyes full of sarcasm: "Who cares? That's just a lie told by Butler Ma and me. Only idiots would believe such talk!" Nangong Ya wanted to ask more, but he saw the well-behaved daughter in his memory looking at him with a sly face, gritting her teeth with every word: "Dad, it's all your fault!" Nangong Ya was stunned, looking at the resentment in Nangong Muyan's eyes, he couldn't believe that this came from the mouth of his beloved daughter. Jiang Ning raised her eyebrows, a little surprised, this scene seemed to be more exciting than imagined. Nangong Muyan continued, "Did you think I didn't hear what you said to Jin Yao on my mother's birthday?" Nangong Ya looked dazed for a moment. He only remembered that he drank a lot of wine that day. What did he say to Jin Yao? Nangong Muyan was not afraid at all. He looked at Nangong Ya and spit out the words that had been pent up in his heart for a long time: "You said that Nangong Ling is introverted and not good at socializing, so you have to find a good family for her so that she can live a life without worries about food and clothing..." "Hehe..." Nangong Muyan laughed coldly: "I thought that was the end of it, but you actually said that this child looks most like you and you feel sorry for her. You said that the dowry prepared for her should be the same as mine, and her husband's family should know that this is also a lady of the Nangong family. Hahaha..." Nangong Muyan's smile was a little cold, and tears fell while laughing: "But you didn't say that before. You said before that I am your only daughter. Why do you want to go back on your word now? Why do you think so much about that bastard? Don't you know that her appearance in the mansion is an injury to my mother?" Nangong Ya's face was extremely ugly. He didn't even know that he was the cause of all this. "You think I like Prince Rui? Bah! I don't care! But why can't you decide my marriage? Why must I marry a man I don't like and share a husband with so many women?" "You are a legitimate daughter..." Nangong Ya murmured. How can the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter get married according to her own wishes?
Now the emperor is old, and three princes are fighting for power. Prince Rui is the weakest one among them. In order to maintain the situation of three powers and stabilize the government, the emperor arranged Nangong Muyan's marriage to Prince Rui. As a minister, can he say "no"?
"Why?" Nangong Muyan shouted hysterically at Nangong Ya: "Why can she marry a good family because she is a concubine's daughter, but I have to marry into the Prince Rui's mansion as a legitimate daughter and become a sacrifice for you men's power?"
Nangong Ya pulled the corner of his mouth, feeling bitter: "So you blame me, you blame me and come to me for revenge, why do you want to hurt Ling'er?"
"She deserves to die!"
Nangong Muyan's eyes were filled with undisguised hatred: "Didn't you say she looks like you? Then I will destroy that face! You said you would help her find a good family, right? Don't bother you, as her elder sister, I will help her find one myself. I specifically instructed that she should be sold alive to those small villages. I heard that those poor men who can't afford to marry a wife will have several people take turns using one woman. She should be living well now, right? I'm afraid she's pregnant--"
"Pa!"
A slap landed on the face. Nangong Muyan turned around, staring blankly at Luo Siyi who had put her hand down, and murmured: "Mom, you hit me?"
"Pa!"
Luo Siyi raised her hand again and slapped Nangong Muyan in the face again.
Jiang Ning in the space was a little dumbfounded.
