Chapter 376 What do you want to do?
A smile slowly, slowly spread across Liuli's cold face. She turned her gaze slightly and looked at Zhou, saying in a contemptuous tone, "Aunt San, you can't take medicine carelessly, and you can't say anything carelessly. Do you think anyone can prove what I said? You said I was the mastermind, did you hear it?"
Zhou was stunned for a moment and choked. That day, Liuli said that she had something important to tell her, so she sent all the servants out. There were only the two of them in the room, and no one else heard it. Even when they were discussing in Prince Yu's mansion, Liuli didn't say a word, but Lin had to look at Liuli after she spoke, especially when discussing the details. Even a blind man could see that Lin listened to Liuli's opinion on this matter, and although Liuli didn't say anything, she still nodded!
"Zhao Liuli, it turns out you had planned everything out. Even if I had witnesses, I'm afraid you would say that they are your people and will naturally speak for you. Who knows if they were forced by you?" Zhou finally got smart for once.
Liuli said calmly, "Aunt San, how can you blame me for what you did yourself? Did I drag you there to curry favor with Prince Yu's concubine? Didn't you ask me to introduce you? I just introduced you, and they happened to be talking about this that day, and you came forward excitedly, as if you were afraid that people would look down on you if you didn't show some ability. Did you see how many times I winked at you? You just kept spitting and talking freely, and now you blame me, Aunt San, you are really good at putting the blame on others!"
Zhou was so angry that she almost fell backwards, feeling deeply sad. How vicious! This Zhao Liuli was the real vicious woman!
No one spoke, just listened and watched quietly, watching this dog-eat-dog drama.
"Zhao Liuli, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person. However, no matter how you argue, the facts are the facts. I, Zhou Caiwen, can swear to heaven that every word I said today is more real than gold and silver. If there is a false word, may I be struck by lightning and die a miserable death." Zhou was so angry that she even swore an oath.
Liuli continued to speak calmly, "Aunt San, you must be careful when you swear. God has ears. Be careful not to get struck by lightning when you go out."
Chunfeng's heart had never been so peaceful before. In the past, time and again, facing Liuli's sophistry and tears, and his family's hatred and helplessness, his heart felt like it was being fried in a frying pan. He felt uncomfortable because this person was the one he liked. No matter how disappointed he was in his heart or how much he blamed her, he still liked her and didn't want to give up.
But at this moment, he was very grateful for Liuli's increasingly mature performance and her increasingly profound scheming, which showed that she was really hopeless. A person can be stupid, foolish, jealous, and have a bad temper, as long as there is a trace of kindness and awe in her heart, she can still be forgiven and saved, but Liuli has nothing left.
Her stupidity is vicious stupidity, her temper is life-threatening. Her heart is not black, it is gone.
Zhou has always been eloquent and silver-tongued, but at this moment, he suddenly didn't know how to fight back. He felt a breath stuck in his chest, and he only felt a fishy and sweet taste in his mouth, and he almost vomited blood.
She had been victimized to the point where she was left with nothing, and the person who had harmed her was still standing there, acting nonchalant and mocking her to the utmost. How could she swallow this?
Suddenly, she remembered something, and suddenly she felt that the situation had taken a turn for the better, and she became very excited.
He swallowed the sweet taste in his mouth and sneered, "Zhao Liuli, don't be too proud too soon. I know your thoughts better than anyone else. You hate not only Ye Jinxuan, but also everyone in the Marquis' Mansion. You want to not only destroy Ye Jinxuan, but also the entire Marquis' Mansion."
Liuli snorted disdainfully. Who would believe such lies without evidence? Even if someone believed it in their heart, what could they do to her?
Zhou turned to You and said, "There is something that elder brother and sister-in-law may not know. I just discovered it by accident!"
Yu's heart skipped a beat. Is there anything else?
The Marquis also had a gloomy expression, his brows twisted into a shape of a "川" (river).
As she spoke, Zhou glanced at Liuli with a victorious look.
"During the days when Mingxiu gave birth prematurely, Liuli secretly sent people to inquire about the goings-on in the mansion. I said I didn't know, but in fact, I was also very curious, so I secretly inquired and paid attention to the goings-on here. Although Jinxuan issued a gag order, she herself was kidnapped and disappeared, and the people in the mansion were in a panic. Some people's mouths were not so reliable. I was also very scared when I learned the truth, but I knew the severity of the situation, so I didn't even dare to tell Yulian and the others. But I am more curious about what would happen if Liuli knew the truth? Liuli is not without eyes and ears in the mansion."
When Zhou said this, Liuli's expression finally became less calm, her face turned noticeably pale, and the hand hidden in her sleeve secretly clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand.
Yushi and the Marquis reacted even more strongly. Both of them looked at Liuli with coldness in their eyes.
"So, I asked someone to keep an eye on her. As expected, Cuiyan, who Mingxiu had just sent away, was invited by Liuli the next moment. Liuli, you are still hiding Cuiyan, right? What do you think you are doing hiding Cuiyan? You are not taking pity on her and taking her in out of kindness, are you?"
Chunfeng was also shocked. He didn't know about this. Xiaoya had no reason to hide it from him. Xiaoya would report to him whenever there was any movement from Liuli. In other words, even Xiaoya didn't know about this. "Liuli, is this true?" Yu Shi was not only angry but also terrified. Jinxuan kept this a secret, and no one in the Marquis' Mansion dared to mention it because of the serious consequences. But Liuli hid Cuiyan. What did she want to do? How could Yu Shi not be afraid?
Liuli tried hard to calm herself down. Yes, this was her trump card. If she didn't have a good ending, she would also drag someone, or even more people, down with her.
"Mother, I don't know what Third Aunt is talking about. I have never seen Cui Yan." Liuli denied it flatly. Now is not the time to completely break off relations.
"You have never seen Cuiyan, you are kidding me. Don't think I don't know. I know the servants in your house. The person who took Cuiyan away was Madam Fu beside you, wasn't she?"
Chunfeng's face had turned livid, and he asked sternly, "Liuli, where did you hide Cuiyan?"
Liuli was still as dignified as a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water: "I don't know what you are talking about, please don't throw all the dirty water on me, okay? Do you believe everything she says?"
Zhou gloated, "If you don't want others to know, then you better not do it. Chunfeng, why don't you call Madam Fu to ask her and everything will be clear, right?"
Chun Feng gritted his teeth and glared at Liu Li angrily: "Do you want to tell me yourself or should I ask Aunt Fu?"
She has harmed the second sister-in-law time and time again. This time, she is holding Cuiyan in her arms, with ulterior motives. No one would believe her words of taking Cuiyan in out of kindness. He must not let her harm his eldest brother and sister-in-law, or anyone else in this family.
Liuli knew she could no longer hide it. It was true that Nanny Fu was loyal to her, but Chunfeng was in the Dali Temple. If he wanted to pry open someone's mouth, he had plenty of ways to do it.
Liuli took a deep breath and smiled sadly: "Chunfeng, you have been waiting for this day, right? You think that with Xiaoya as your eyes and ears, you can control me firmly, right? You know everything I did, but you didn't stop me. You just wanted to wait until this time, and then divorce me legitimately, right?"
Xia Chunfeng was shocked. Did she know?
"Do you think I'm really hopelessly stupid? Xiaoya is a little different after she came back this time. Do you know where the problem lies? You two both think you have concealed it well, but the way Xiaoya looks at you is different, you know? Women's intuition is very sensitive." Liuli's smile became even more desolate.
"I know you don't like me anymore, and even my existence makes you suffer, but you can't divorce me because you don't have enough reasons, Chunfeng, I really want to repent, want to live a good life with you, and want to give up hatred. Even if you are just perfunctory to me, I can still give myself a reason to deceive myself, but you are not willing to even perfunctorily. The look in your eyes is like looking at a poisonous snake. You are as cold as iron to me, even the chill of December is not as cold as your heart. All this is caused by Ye Jinxuan and everyone in this mansion. None of you believe in me and are willing to give me a chance, so what should I worry about?"
"You think you're the only one suffering, you think you're the only one feeling wronged and helpless, have any of you ever thought about how I feel? I'm hated and despised by my own husband and we're like strangers, I'm hated and despised by my own parents-in-law and have to leave this home. The Queen Mother is the only one in the world who truly loves me. Now that the Queen Mother is gone, who else do I have? When Xiaoya came back, I was so happy because I finally had someone to talk to, but she is your eyes and ears..."
"Do you know how I have survived the past six months? Every night, I cried silently. There were so many people around me, but I knew that I was alone, all alone. Do you know how painful and cold my heart was?"
Tears welled up in Liuli's eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. She was Zhao Liuli, once the most delicate princess in Jinling City. She was born with pride. Even if she was despised by everyone, she would hold her head high and maintain her pride.
Moreover, she knew that her tears could not move anyone here. They would only say that it was all her own fault.
Yes, she had brought this upon herself, so what? Her life had been turned upside down since the moment Ye Jinxuan appeared. Why didn't she deal with Ye Jinxuan? Why didn't she hate Ye Jinxuan?
"Whose fault is it that has led to the situation today? Didn't I give you a chance? Three times the limit, don't you understand? If you hadn't disappointed and despaired everyone time and again, how could we have come to this point today?" Xia Chunfeng said sadly.
