Every sharp question is like a sharp arrow piercing the illusion created by lies.
Aunt Ding was speechless, her expression suddenly stiffened, and she felt an inexplicable panic in her heart.
What's going on?
In the past, Xie Mingxi was the most soft-hearted. If she cried and said a few nice words, she could coax her daughter to do everything she wanted. But today, Xie Mingxi's attitude was extremely fierce and her words were extremely sharp.
"Ming Niang, that's not what you said."
Aunt Ding didn't care to cry anymore, and eagerly took Xie Mingxi's hand: "I am your biological mother, how can I not love you. It's just... It's just that Yuanting is in trouble now, and only you can save him. You are his biological sister
, you must feel sorry for your brother and can’t bear his marriage to be manipulated at will by your legitimate mother..."
She really couldn't bear it back then.
Therefore, she was willing to be trapped by family ties, forced step by step into the pit of fire, and suffered all kinds of suffering.
When she was fourteen, she was disgraced and was carried into the Fourth Prince's Mansion from the back door on a soft sedan, where she became a nameless concubine. In the following years, she was used as a pawn and fell into danger several times.
When she was nineteen years old, her sister-in-law Xie Yunxi, who was a concubine, wanted to kill her.
While she was struggling between life and death, Aunt Ding was overjoyed that Xie Yuanting passed the Jinshi examination.
Xie Yuanting, who was young and successful, despised mentioning her biological sister, so he went into the palace to visit Concubine Yun.
When she was on the verge of a desperate situation and narrowly escaped death, she finally woke up.
No one in this world truly loves her and cherishes her.
She wants to live well!
Be kind to yourself!
Make all enemies crawl at her feet!
After spending several years, she finally did it.
Outsiders only thought that the Imperial Concubine was gentle, kind, and virtuous, but even her eldest grandson, Emperor Jianping, thought so. Only she knew that she had long been cold and heartless, as cold as a knife.
Aunt Ding held her hand tightly.
Just like a drowning person grasping at straws: "Ming Niang, I beg you! You must do it this time! Just this time, I will never let you suffer such injustice in the future. For my mother
I kneel down for you."
After saying that, he gritted his teeth and knelt down on the ground with a plop.
…
What a mother who endures humiliation and bear heavy burdens!
This was a mother-daughter relationship that forced her to nod!
Xie Mingxi did not move, and looked steadily at Aunt Ding, whose face was filled with tears. A sense of absurdity and ridiculousness arose in her heart.
The unexpected scene actually appeared in front of her eyes, which still made her blood boil and her heart couldn't calm down.
After a long time, Xie Mingxi said slowly: "Auntie, I promise you."
She knew that using this killer move would definitely make Xie Mingxi feel soft and nod.
Aunt Ding forced herself to suppress the relief and contentment in her heart, and said with choked sobs: "Ming Niang, I know you feel wronged. How can I feel better in my heart?"
"The palms of my hands and the backs of my hands are all flesh. You were born in my tenth month of pregnancy. My heart for you is the same as Yuan Ting's."
"It's just that everyone in the world values their heirs. I only have one son, Yuan Ting, so I have to make plans for him. When you grow up, you will get married and become a woman. The only one I can rely on is Yuan Ting. Even you need it.
My natal brother will support you."
"The injustice you are suffering now can be exchanged for your eldest brother delaying his marriage for two years. If he can study with peace of mind, he will definitely be able to gain fame and marry a noble girl in the future."
"Your eldest brother has become successful, and we, mother and daughter, will have a good life."
"Ming Niang, I will go to Yuanting and tell him everything you have done. He will definitely be grateful to you..."
Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed slightly and nodded: "Okay."
Aunt Ding: "..."
Aunt Ding couldn't cry anymore.
Xie Mingxi twitched her lips and said calmly: "Why aren't you going? Could it be that you have changed your mind again and don't want your eldest brother to know about this, lest he feel guilty and don't want me to go to Kao Lianchi Academy on behalf of your second sister?"
"
Aunt Ding, who was told that she was thinking about something, was a little embarrassed: "I, I'll go right away."
Then, he stood up staggeringly, slowing down his movements intentionally or unintentionally.
"Auntie!"
Aunt Ding perked up and turned around quickly: "Ming Niang, you..."
Have you changed your mind?
Xie Mingxi looked calm and her voice was neither high nor low, but it fell like a heavy drum in Aunt Ding's ears: "This is the first and last time. If Aunt Ding intends to use this method to force me to submit in the future,
Don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Also, if my aunt wants to enter Chunjin Pavilion in the future, please let the maid know."
…
Aunt Ding wiped her tears and left.
Xie Mingxi's expression did not change and she called Cong Yu in: "I'm a little hungry. Let the kitchen make a bowl of fish soup."
Congyu: "..."
Aunt Ding left crying, Cong Yu could see clearly.
She thought that the third lady was also crying in the room. Unexpectedly, the third lady asked her to come in for the fish soup...
"For eight-liang heavy crucian carp, the fish soup should be boiled until it is milky white without a trace of fishy smell. Add less oil, less salt, and a little more coriander." Xie Mingxi said lightly: "Have you remembered?"
Congyu cheered up and recited it word for word.
Xie Mingxi hummed with satisfaction.
Half an hour later, Congyu brought fish soup.
Xie Mingxi took a sip and frowned slightly.
During these two days of rebirth, everything else could be accommodated, except for food.
Having lived in the palace for decades in her previous life, all the delicacies that came into her mouth were carefully prepared by the royal chef of Qionghua Palace. The cooking skills of the chef in the Xie Mansion were beyond words! She had eaten very little in the past two days.
My stomach is empty and my stomach is hungry, but I just don't want to give in.
Xie Mingxi put down the bowl and ordered: "Divide the fish soup and eat it!"
Fuyu smelled the fragrant fish soup, and her greedy mind was already drawn out. She suddenly swallowed: "Miss, can I have a bowl of this?"
Seeing Fuyu's greedy expression, Xie Mingxi smiled slightly: "I'll reward you with two bowls."
Fuyu's face was filled with joy: "Thank you, Miss." Then she puffed out her chest and said, "From now on, Miss will just give instructions to the slaves, and I won't blink even if I go up to the sword mountain or go down to the oil pan."
Xie Mingxi laughed it off.
She had heard so many impulsive expressions of loyalty that she would not be moved by these two mere words.
Being able to resist temptation and not betray one's master is already a rare and loyal servant.
The maids quickly finished and drank the pot of hot and fragrant fish soup.
After drinking two bowls, Fuyu quietly let out a happy burp.
Xie Mingxi looked at Fuyu who looked satisfied, and became even hungrier...
The entrance exam for Lianchi Academy will be held in half a month, and she will make Princess Yongning and her daughter feel regretful. What is more important now is to satisfy their big appetite first.
Xie Mingxi ordered: "Fuyu, you go to the concierge and wait. As soon as my father returns home, immediately invite him to Chunjin Pavilion."
Fuyu responded and stepped back neatly.
…
Yonghe Hall.
The maid Yao Bi reported in a low voice: "Aunt Ding entered Chunjin Pavilion and stayed there for half an hour before leaving in tears."
Left crying?
A trace of disdainful ridicule flashed in Princess Yongning's eyes.
Aunt Ding is used to using a weak and crying posture as a means of doing things. She does the same with her own daughter. It seems that the matter is done!
Xie Yuanting is Aunt Ding's lifeblood.
After grasping Xie Yuanting, he grasped Aunt Ding.
Aunt Zhao's eyes flashed and she whispered: "Princess Princess, would you like to summon Aunt Ding to come and inquire?"
"No need." Princess Yongning sneered: "For Xie Yuanting, Aunt Ding will do everything possible to make Xie Mingxi surrender."
She is the princess of Huainan Palace, the mistress of Xie Palace, and the aunt of Xie Yuanting and Xie Mingxi.
With these alone, she is enough to control the fate of Xie Yuanting's brother and sister.
Xie Mingxi must gather all her glory.
No matter how outstanding his talent is, he is as humble as rubble and deserves to be trampled under Xie Yunxi's feet!
