Chapter 61 Should be surnamed Xue
"Stop talking!" Mrs. Xue's originally proud defense line now showed a crack. She stared at Xie Rongying fiercely: "I told you to stop talking!"
Xie Rongying ignored Madam Xue's impotent rage and continued, "That girl also acquiesced to the Duke of Ying's actions. She knew that if she could win the Duke's heart, she would enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future. Given her status, it would be a world apart from her previous status."
"Whether it's status or the Duke's favor, these are things that the girl wants to hold tightly in her hands."
"So, during the time when the Duke was in a state of confusion after the loss of his beloved wife, it was that girl who helped him get through it." Xie Rongying seemed to remember something and stared at Madam Xue sarcastically. "It was also during that time that the girl replaced all the servants in the Duke's Mansion because many people knew that the Duke's biological daughter had died and that the girl currently in the mansion was a fake."
"And the Duke also acquiesced to the girl's actions, to her betrayal of his beloved wife and the people around his own daughter. Unfortunately, the eldest son was unaware of his daughter's death. Furthermore, his daughter had been raised on the farm for many years and didn't have a close relationship with the eldest son. Therefore, the girl naturally became the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Ying's mansion."
"After resolving the issues that needed to be resolved, the girl and the Duke of England continued to maintain their romantic relationship."
"It's just that the Duke of England's daughter has grown up and will eventually get married. Although the Duke of England is reluctant to let her go, he can't let her stay in the Duke of England's mansion and become an old maid, so he started looking for a husband for her."
"Because of this incident, the girl and the Duke had a big quarrel."
"This relationship will never be allowed to be exposed to the public. The girl will eventually marry, which means her relationship with the Duke is severed. She is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Ying. She will become someone else's wife, someone else's daughter-in-law, and will have to worry about all the affairs of her husband's family."
"Xie Rongying! Stop talking!" Madam Xue glared at Xie Rongying and said fiercely, "So what if you know all this? How dare you do anything to me!?"
Xie Rongying chuckled, ignoring Madam Xue's angry scolding, and continued what she hadn't finished, "Being a daughter is the easiest role in this world. How could that girl not understand this? But the Duke of England insisted on marrying her off, so she knew that he was determined to break off all ties with her."
"She obediently followed the Duke of England's instructions and met the eldest son of the Xue family. He fell in love with the girl at first sight and doted on her in every way. After only three months of knowing each other, the two families had already set a date for the wedding."
"That girl also seemed very satisfied with the eldest son of the Xue family, and she would often mention how good her fiancé was in front of the Duke of England."
"The days passed one by one, and soon the wedding date arrived. The eldest son of the Xue family married a beautiful woman. The Xue family's parents were overjoyed. He had married into the Duke of Yingguo's family. However, eight out of ten things in life are not as good as they thought. How could the Xue family have known that the Duke of Yingguo's legitimate daughter was a fake? Less than a month after the wedding, their daughter-in-law's father appeared on their bed."
When Xie Rongying said this, she tutted her tongue twice: "How could the Duke of Ying let such a shameful secret be known to others? Since the Xue family knows about it, then this secret must be sealed forever."
"That night the entire Xue family was slaughtered, with only Madam Xue surviving."
After Xie Rongying finished speaking, she met Madam Xue's murderous gaze and chuckled a few times: "Madam Xue, how about this story?"
Mrs. Xue had regained her composure by this point. She said, "Not very good. Absurd."
"Ridiculous?" Xie Rongying laughed. "It seems I didn't explain it very well, but I don't have the heart to repeat it anymore."
Madam Xue sneered: "You tied me up here just to make me listen to this?"
"Of course not." Xie Rongying stood up and walked towards Madam Xue, the curve of her lips slowly fading: "I just want to prove one thing."
"Prove what?" Mrs. Xue always felt that Xie Rongying was more than just that.
"Of course, it's to prove whether the story I just told is true." Xie Rongying walked to Madam Xue and stopped. She looked down at Madam Xue, who was staring at her with her head slightly tilted up. "Judging from your reaction just now, it seems to be true."
"Xie Rongying!" Madam Xue was irritated by Xie Rongying's nonchalant demeanor: "What on earth are you going to do?!"
Xie Rongying took out a sharp silver hairpin from her hair. She played with it for a few times, then used the sharp end of the hairpin to lift Madam Xue's chin. "I have no grudge against you, so why do you always try to kill me?"
Mrs. Xue wanted to struggle, but when she felt a slight stinging sensation in the center of her throat, her face changed slightly: "What are you going to do? Do you want to kill me?"
Xie Rongying laughed: "Why not?"
As the words fell, Xie Rongying slowly increased the strength in her hands, and the sharp point of the silver hairpin slowly pierced into Madam Xue's throat.
"You..." Madam Xue's breathing stagnated, her expression tense: "You... dare, you dare to kill... me."
Blood spread out from the gap where the silver hairpin had pierced into her neck, quickly dyeing Madam Xue's neck red. Madam Xue couldn't even make a sound as the silver hairpin penetrated her inch by inch.
Xie Rongying watched expressionlessly as Mrs. Xue's face turned from red to ashen, and the blood flowed more and more. She only let go of the silver hairpin in her hand when the end was close to her skin.
At this time, Gu Xun stepped forward and handed over the handkerchief. He glanced at Madam Xue, whose pupils were wide open, and whispered, "Master, that man just left."
"As long as he hears what I want him to hear, that's all." Xie Rongying looked at Madam Xue, who was already dead, and said, "Throw it into the river closest to Fanlou."
"yes."
Xie Rongying lowered her eyes to look at the bloodstained handkerchief, threw it at Mrs. Xue's face, and turned to walk out of the house.
As soon as she walked out of the house, Xie Rongying saw Xie Ting standing under a peach tree. Seeing that there was still a lot of blood on his hands, she hid her hands behind her back and walked towards Xie Ting.
When Xie Ting saw Xie Rongying walking towards him, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "Is it taken care of?"
"It's taken care of." Xie Rongying observed Xie Ting's expression: "Why do you look so worried?"
"It's okay. I'll take you back to the Marquis' Mansion." Xie Ting was worried about Xie Rongying's safety and said, "Now that we've completely offended the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion, why don't you go back to the Xie family and stay there for a while? That way, your uncle and grandmother will feel more at ease."
"It's okay, I know my limits." Xie Rongying said calmly.
Xie Ting raised his eyebrows: "Who was that person standing outside the house just now?"
Xie Rongying glanced at Xie Ting and smiled faintly: "The surname should be Xue."
