Three feet of white silk lay quietly on the tray.
It turns out that when a person's heart is desolate to a certain extent, they really want to laugh. Ye Qingxue laughed, and even laughed out loud.
The laughter stopped, and she held the white silk ribbon between her fingers: "If I don't agree to your request, take the initiative to break off the engagement and bear all the blame, and fulfill your youngest daughter's wish to steal my fiancé, are you prepared to hang yourself? Is that it?"
Madam Zhou got off the couch, barefoot, and walked to Ye Qingxue, saying with certainty, "Yes!"
Her younger sister, Ye Yabing, first tried to poison her, forcing her to bear the infamy of annulment, but failed.
Now her biological mother is threatening suicide to force her to do the same thing.
Her biological mother would rather die than investigate whether she had done anything shameless; she believed everything Ye Yabing said.
Even if Mrs. Zhou investigated, even if Mrs. Zhou had some doubts about Ye Yabing, or even some trust in her, what if she did?
Even just a little bit?
Ye Qingxue did not speak, so Madam Zhou snatched the three-foot-long white silk ribbon from Ye Qingxue's hand.
"Ya Ya didn't steal your fiancé, it's your own fault, you're not worthy of this marriage! Making you annul the engagement is for your own good, for the good of the entire Marquis's mansion. Do you want to wait until the Emperor punishes the Marquis's mansion and you, Ye Qingxue, before you're happy? If you don't take the initiative to annul the engagement today, I'll die in front of you!"
Madam Zhou's words were filled with boundless anger. She moved a chair under the roof beam, stood on it, and in front of Ye Qingxue, threw the white silk ribbon at the beam.
Once, twice, three or four times, she failed each time. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake off the beam. Madam Zhou's pale face instantly turned red.
Ye Qingxue walked over, snatched the white silk from her hand, took two steps back, and threw it. The white silk passed through the beam above and fell down, dangling right in front of Madam Zhou.
She said, "Alright, Madam, you can tie the knot now."
Mrs. Zhou glared at her angrily, "Do you think I wouldn't dare? Do you think I'm putting on an act for you?"
Although she couldn't hang the white silk, tying a tight knot was a piece of cake for her. She finished tying it in no time and then looked at Ye Qingxue, her threatening expression still very strong.
Ye Qingxue gestured with her chin: "Hurry up and hang it up, I'll kick the stool for you, I guarantee you'll succeed in hanging yourself on the first try!"
Thinking that threatening suicide would force Ye Qingxue to submit, Madam Zhou was furious: "I am your mother, how can you so eagerly wish for my death? This is simply against human ethics! If I die, the laws of the Great Zhou will not tolerate your living!"
Ye Qingxue crossed her arms and leaned against the table behind her, looking at her leisurely: "I told you before, I only have ten days to live—oh no, now I only have nine days left. It was Ye Yabing who poisoned me. Even if the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty allowed me to live, I still wouldn't survive."
"Of course you don't believe me, but that doesn't matter. Now you're willing to wait for me on the road to the underworld, that's fine too. We can walk together on the road to the underworld, so we won't be lonely or afraid. I have no reason to stop you."
Madam Zhou truly did not believe that Ye Yabing would poison Ye Qingxue. She only saw Ye Qingxue's indiscretion and malice, the fact that Xiang Zhou, Pan Heng, and she had not returned home all night, and Ye Yabing's disfigured face were all evidence.
Now, her helping herself hang herself is also evidence!
Madam Zhou angrily scolded, "You unfilial daughter, you scourge! As the fiancée of Prince Ding, you have already been having an ambiguous relationship with Xiang Zhou and have been having a secret rendezvous with Pan Heng all night. Why don't you take the initiative to break off the engagement? Are you going to ruin the entire Marquis's mansion before you are satisfied?"
Ye Qingxue said, "That's right."
Mrs. Zhou felt a tightness in her chest, almost unable to breathe. "Do you think I wouldn't dare to hang myself? Fine, I'll hang myself now, and you'll be the one who forced me to!"
Madam Zhou put the white silk ribbon on her neck, which was already tied in knots. She looked at Ye Qingxue with a deep gaze, waiting for Ye Qingxue to bow her head, admit her mistake, kneel down, and accept punishment!
Ye Qingxue seemed to sigh. She straightened up and walked towards Madam Zhou.
Madam Zhou thought she was scared and had given in, so she stared at her intently. But Ye Qingxue walked up to her and stopped, saying, "Go on, Madam."
Then he kicked out, knocking the chair away from Madam Zhou's feet. Madam Zhou's feet were immediately suspended in the air, and her neck fell onto the white silk, her throat being tightly strangled.
Madam Zhou struggled desperately with her legs and clung tightly to the white silk ribbon, trying to save herself.
But her arms were too weak, and she had no footing. The feeling of suffocation grew stronger, her head began to spin, her tongue started to stick out, and the whites of her eyes began to roll upwards...
She never imagined that, as a mother, death wouldn't threaten Ye Qingxue, and that when she was about to hang herself, Ye Qingxue would first hang the white silk for her, and then kick away the stool for her...
She really never expected this!
She reached her hand towards the door, hoping someone would save her!
Although Hu Mama and Han Yu were sent outside to guard the door, they kept a close eye on what was happening inside.
Han Yu, in particular, was skilled in martial arts and had keen hearing, allowing her to clearly hear any sounds coming from inside.
Just as Madam Zhou was about to hang herself with the white silk, she kicked open the door and happened to see Ye Qingxue kicking away the chair under Madam Zhou's feet.
Not only did she see it, but the people around her and behind her also saw it.
Shocking, shocking, and shocking again!
Not only did Madam Zhou not expect such an outcome, but even Hu Mama, who was used to all sorts of dirty tricks, and Han Yu, who was ruthless, did not expect this result.
Madam Zhou is Ye Qingxue's biological mother, her own mother!!!
Watching Madam Zhou struggle on the white silk, Hu Mama swallowed hard. She had initially wanted to save her, but she was too shocked to react in time to go forward and help.
