Yan Xixi only has one skill, which is to observe words and colors.
Liu Daqing had no intention of letting her sit down, and she understood that this was a psychological deterrent: people standing would always be nervous and uneasy, and their speech would be incoherent, as if they were implicitly inferior to others. See the ancient high hall for interrogating prisoners,
You are either asked to kneel or to stand. There is absolutely no reason for you to sit upright. On the contrary, the presiding judge sits upright, condescending and not angry. When a timid person sees this situation, he will
I fainted first, how could I dare to make a mistake?
In this highly hierarchical country, Queen Mother Liu obviously knew this well - or perhaps, this was how she lived her daily life.
Yan Xixi felt like she had a clear mind, so she simply stood up straight.
Liu Daqing stared at the gauze on her forehead and asked slowly, word by word, "What's the matter with the injury on your head?"
That was the theme of her visit today - Zhou Ting took the lead, and she was in charge of the Central Army. It was clearly the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who joined forces to expel the mistress.
"I...I accidentally fell down..."
She lowered her head and quietly reached out her hand to brush away a strand of hair that was blocking her eyes. Liu Daqing immediately saw clearly the bruises and bruises on her wrists.
The old lady's frown deepened: "Is it true that I was not careful? I accidentally fell so badly? There are also injuries on my hands. Is it also caused by the fall? Where did it fall?"
She murmured: "I...I..."
She lowered her head and dared not say anything.
Liu Daqing already knew this and asked again: "Why does Donglin want to support you in college?"
She didn't hide anything. She explained the past between herself and Wang Donglin very clearly, including how they met, how she buried her mother, how she allowed herself to study, and even the jewelry and checks she gave... without a single lie.
Liu Daqing nodded secretly, this was almost exactly what she knew.
It was always like this in the beginning, the girl was young and beautiful, the man was very generous with money, and the money and sex transactions were a matter of course.
She was not polite and went straight to the point: "Dong Lin is obviously very special to you. You know, he has never been so kind to other women, and he did not hesitate to regret the marriage for you, but why didn't you fall in love with him?"
That is the core issue - the murderous intent and doubts that the empress dowager brought as soon as she entered the door: How can you be so good-looking, how can you not fall in love with my son?
Yan Xixi was surprisingly calm and her voice was very clear: "No, he never loved me!"
Liu Daqing was stunned: She said "he never fell in love with me" - not "I never fell in love with him" - exactly the same word, but the order and meaning were completely different.
"Why do you say that?"
Her eyes once again inadvertently fell on her bruised and bruised arms. Liu Daqing's eyes followed her and landed on her forehead.
——If you really love someone, would you hit her like this?
The question was silent.
"It was a deal between us from the beginning..."
Yan Xixi's head dropped completely: "He told me from the beginning that he would soon get bored and would let me go. I also have self-awareness and know that I am not worthy of him at all, and there is no way that a crow can turn into a phoenix.
He was tired of me before I graduated from college, and he was rarely at home at that time. We never had any contact with each other for more than half a year after I left. During this period, I don’t know who he was with. He and Zhou Ting
I didn’t know anything about breaking off the engagement..."
