[I have to admire Song Muxue's green tea tactics. Not only can she successfully cancel the engagement by posing as a victim, but she can also make Ye Xuanqi feel guilty about her and never forget her. He was manipulated into becoming a great enemy.]

When Ye Xuanqi was about to reprimand her in anger, Song Yunxi's inner voice sounded again -

[Using me as a pawn gave the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion a perfect reason to successfully get rid of me. She and Shen Zhikang are innocent lovers who finally get married... Although the two of them had already secretly crossed the Chencang Pass. ]

[The most important thing is to completely drive me, the real daughter of the Marquis, out of Wenyuan Marquis Mansion, so that she, the fake daughter, can occupy the magpie's nest forever.]

[Killing two birds with one stone without any effort. This Song Muxue is indeed exactly like her mother, both mean and sinister. ]

What real mother? What fake daughter?

And how could Mu Xue and Shen Zhikang be related? What did they mean by they were secretly involved?

Ye Xuanqi's heart tightened, and just as he was about to ask for clarification, the quiet courtyard suddenly became lively.

"No, I don't believe Brother Qi and Sister Qi..."

Song Muxue sobbed sadly and weakly: "One of them is my closest relative, and the other is the person I want to entrust my life to. How could they betray me?"

Song Muxue's maid Qiuyue was filled with righteous indignation: "Miss, you are too kind. Since the eldest lady returned home, you have been tolerant in everything, but in return, the eldest lady has become more and more demanding. I saw with my own eyes that the maid in her yard invited His Royal Highness Prince Chen to come over."

Song Muxue looked pitiful, enduring humiliation and bearing a heavy burden: "Although Brother Qi and I are engaged, if Sister really likes him, I can bear the pain and fulfill her wish, but...but why would she do this?"

Madam Wenyuan was furious: "Don't worry, Muxue, if she really does something shameless like this, your father and I will definitely take care of it for you!"

[Wenyuanhou and his wife have long wanted Song Muxue to replace me and marry Shen Zhikang. They also did their best to promote this situation today. Who are you pretending to be ignorant of? You are so shameless that even ghosts are afraid of you! ]

Ye Xuanqi couldn't believe that the couple Wenyuanhou, who had always been of noble character and kind and gentle to him, would be the double-faced people that Song Yunxi thought.

Seeing that the people outside were about to break in, it would be easy for Ye Xuanqi to leave without anyone noticing under normal circumstances, but now he had lost all his internal strength and could not do anything.

[Should I tell him that the antidote is in the sachet on my waist, and he only needs to smell it and he'll be fine? ]

[But how should I explain to him that I knew Song Muxue would drug him? With a love-brain like him, will he suspect that I am framing Song Muxue? ]

What does love brain mean?

Although he still had some doubts about her true feelings, it was undeniable that based on his accumulated prejudice against her, he was indeed convinced that she was the one plotting to murder Song Muxue.

Time was running out, Ye Xuanqi reached out to pull her belt, and casually picked up the purse and sniffed it: "This purse and the scent of medicine are quite special."

[Wow, he smelled it, he smelled it! Does this count as a lucky coincidence? If Song Muxue can't catch me and Ye Xuanqi cheating, then won't her plan fail? ]

The refreshing medicinal fragrance seemed to seep into his blood. Ye Xuanqi could clearly feel that the heat in his body subsided instantly, and his internal strength was also recovering rapidly.

As the door was pushed open, the weight on Song Yunxi disappeared, and Ye Xuanqi also disappeared.

"Sister, I don't blame you for seducing Brother Qi behind my back, but..."

Seeing that Song Yunxi was the only one on the bed, Song Muxue's voice stopped abruptly, and her weak and helpless expression froze on her face.

Song Yunxi covered her lips and coughed lightly, hiding the upturned corners of her lips: "Why did my mother and sister come to my room?"

"How could it not be?"

Song Muxue raised her voice in disbelief: "Where is Brother Qi? Where did you hide Brother Qi?"

After a weak and violent cough, Song Yunxi gasped and asked, "What, Brother Qi? I don't understand what my sister is talking about."

"Sister, you don't have to pretend. I know you asked the maid to trick Brother Qi here. You can't plot against him just because you hate me. This will anger the emperor and empress, and implicate our entire Wenyuan Marquis Mansion!"

Wiping the blood from her lips with a handkerchief, Song Yunxi smiled sadly and bitterly: "Sister, you are really joking. Not to mention that I don't know the brother Qi you mentioned, where in my yard is there a maid who is willing to obey me?"

How can this dilapidated courtyard and house look like the place where a noble lady would live?

This young lady clearly had difficulty walking, but in the entire courtyard, not to mention a maid to serve her, not even a servant to sweep the floor could be seen.

Moreover, it was already winter, but there was not even any charcoal burning in the house. She was only wearing ill-fitting, whitish clothes, and even her quilt was a worn-out, thin blanket that could not keep her warm.

And the leftovers on the table were so delicious that even the dogs in Marquis Wenyuan’s mansion wouldn’t eat them.

This legendary domineering and vicious eldest lady actually lived a life worse than even the servants in their house.

The ladies who came to watch the fun were used to seeing all kinds of tricks used in the inner court, so how could they not see what was going on?

Isn't it a huge joke to say that such an unpopular, powerless, sickly and weak woman seduced King Chen?

I'm just afraid that some people have ulterior motives!

Song Yunxi sneered in her heart. In her previous life, these ladies were only concerned with watching the excitement of catching an adulterer in bed, and no one noticed her miserable situation at all.

But this life is different. She wants to expose the hypocrisy of Wenyuan Marquis Mansion and let them see it clearly.

Sensing the change in the ladies' attitudes, Madam Song quickly grabbed Song Muxue to stop her from speaking again, and put on the majesty of a marquis's wife: "Is this how these dog slaves serve their masters? Do they think the masters of our Wenyuan Marquis' Mansion are easy to talk to?"

Sitting beside the bed, holding Song Yunxi's dry hand, she forced out a loving and caring expression: "Don't worry, Yunxi, these dogs who bully their masters, mother will definitely punish them and vent your anger."

Song Yunxi, who was pulled out of the tattered quilt by her, shivered at the right time, and her skinny little body was shaking, which made the ladies and young ladies feel pity for her.

If Madam Song really loved her eldest daughter, she should have taken off her cloak and put it on her by now.

Looking at the second young lady's luxurious attire and cloak made of red fox fur, I really doubt whether this eldest young lady is the biological daughter of Marquis Wenyuan and his wife.

Song Yun Xiyang covered her mouth with a yellow handkerchief and coughed lightly, allowing everyone to see that the handkerchief was stained red by the blood she coughed out.

"My legs are already inconvenient, and I haven't been in good health for the past six months. I couldn't even go to pay my respects to my mother. I haven't fulfilled my duty as a child. Now I can see my mother before I die. Why should I feel wronged?"

As he spoke, he cautiously glanced at Qiuyue, the exquisitely dressed maidservant beside Song Muxue, and lowered his eyes, looking pitiful and helpless: "I look so useless, the maids in the courtyard are already considering the relationship between master and servant by giving me a sip of cold water, how can I order them to seduce the brother Qi that my sister mentioned?"
