After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 117 She is the Devil Returning from Hell

Just when Yuan Qing was hesitating about visiting the Fang Mansion, Mu Xiaoxiao received an unsigned invitation letter from the housekeeper.

The letter asked her to go to Juyingtai to meet him the next day, saying that he had something important to tell her.

The handwriting is beautiful and clever, obviously written by a girl.

But why did this person choose her?

"Did she say anything when she came?"

Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "I heard from the housekeeper that a little boy came and just said he was going to give it to the cousin and ran away.

Master, do you want to go?"

It would be hard for her not to be suspicious if they did not leave their names and were asked to travel in a low profile.

Yuan Qing didn't care. Since the other party specifically asked for her, what was wrong with going?

Juyingtai is a gathering place for scholars from Jiangzhou.

Yuan Qing changed into some light clothes and took Mu Xiaoxiao with him to the appointment.

Someone led them directly to the second floor.

What was surprising was that Qiao Yunzhen was actually standing outside the private room waiting.

Seeing them coming up, Qiao Yunzhen reached out and pushed open the door, and a thin man stood inside.

"This is..." Yuan Qing looked at Qiao Yunzhen in confusion.

Qiao Yunzhen bowed and said, "Don't worry, young lady. It's my friend who wants to talk to you, but it's usually inconvenient, so I took the liberty to invite you."

Yuan Qing understood, and left Mu Xiaoxiao and Qiao Yunzhen to guard outside the door.

The man slowly turned around and took off his mask, revealing a handsome but slightly pale face.

Although he was wearing men's clothes, Yuan Qing still recognized the identity of the person opposite him at a glance.

"Perhaps, I should call you Miss Fang Er."

Fang Yuemei was speechless.

Unexpectedly, the person who recognized her identity at a glance was this strange woman whom she had only met once.

She knelt slowly towards Yuan Qing and said in a low voice, "I know you are of noble status, so I want to make a deal with you."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Yuan Qing was really startled.

"Your voice...is your throat injured?"

Fang Yuemei thought to herself that this person's keenness was truly incomparable to ordinary people, and she had indeed chosen the right person.

She raised her neck, pointed to the place where the sound came from and said, "This place is fed with poison day after day, and I secretly spit out some every day, so that it can be like this now.

It’s just that my voice is hoarse and unpleasant, and after a while, I don’t like to talk anymore.”

Yuan Qing asked tentatively: "Is it... Fang Yue'e?"

"Since you can guess my identity, it's not difficult for you to think of these things." Fang Yuemei said calmly, "Back then, I did blame myself for losing my sister.

I imagined myself to be like her, imitating her appearance and temperament, and serving my father, thinking that this would make me feel less guilty.

Later, more and more people enlightened me, and I gradually became more open-minded and no longer dwelled on the pain of the past.

A few years later, my father happily lifted me above his head and said that my sister was back. I went with my father to greet her, thinking that I would treat her well in the future and give her all the good things.

did not expect……"

At this point she suddenly went crazy and grabbed Yuan Qing's hand tightly, "She is a demon from hell. She said she is coming to take my life and ask me to pay her back double what I owe her!

I felt bad, too, and I gave in to her step by step, thinking that this would awaken her conscience, but I was met with even crazier revenge from her!"

Fang Yuemei was trembling all over, as if she had returned to the countless days and nights shrouded in nightmares.

She always wanted to make amends and kept hanging around her sister every day.

But her elder sister whipped her with a whip, then pinched her chin and said, "Since you want to be the eldest daughter so much, I'll give you the position of elder sister. Anyway, we sisters look the same, and father can't recognize us. Isn't it more interesting this way?"

At first she thought she was joking, so she followed her lead.

Seeing that she was obedient, the whippings were gradually reduced, but she was always fed strange medicines.

Any resistance would result in a severe beating.

She kept using sisterly love to numb herself, saying that her sister had suffered for many years outside and it was normal for her to feel resentful and that it would be fine if she just vented it out.

But is such compromising compensation really useful?

She once asked herself this.

"Sometimes I think if I could get her married off and marry far away, maybe she could get rid of this kind of life."

Fang Yuemei fiddled with her sleeves nonchalantly. "Getting married is a major event in a woman's life. After all, she is related to me by blood, so I must carefully choose a future husband for her."

She didn't want her sister to have a good life, nor did she want to see her miserable end.

She just wanted her to stay away from her.

That's it.

"So you chose the notorious Lu Jiankang?" Yuan Qing asked.

"I don't care whether Lu Jiankang is evil or not," Fang Yuemei smiled, her curved eyebrows sparkling with light, "Letting the two evil men torture each other together is better than letting them harm other families.

Tell me, am I doing the right thing?"

Fang Yuemei looked at her innocently.

It's just that there is too much pain in his eyes, making those originally bright eyes become dim.

Yuan Qing was speechless for a while.

She didn't know what to say.

"You cut off Lü Jiankang's path, so I can only find another way." Fang Yuemei held her hand tightly and said, "Her real origin is Luojia Village in Yuzhou. I heard this from them when I pretended to be unconscious.

She returned to the Fang family because she hated everyone in the Fang family, so she was determined to destroy it at all costs.

Not only that, they are also going to attack the Lou family. If you check, you will definitely find something!"

Then he stuffed a jade pendant into her hand and said, "This is what my grandmother left me. If you need it, you can take it to Puzhou and find my grandfather. He was once the chief priest of the Imperial College and has some connections in the court.

I do all this for no other reason than to avoid getting my father and the Fang family involved in the future. Then I will be content.

Please...please promise me!"

Her voice was almost lost from talking for so long. When Yuan Qing helped her up, he saw blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, staining the green bamboo on her collar red.

"Little!"

Mu Xiaoxiao rushed into the room upon hearing the sound, and Qiao Yunzhen followed closely.

Yuan Qing dragged Mu Xiaoxiao forward and handed her over to her, "Let's see what happened to her."

Mu Xiaoxiao placed her fingers on Fang Yuemei's wrist, touched her throat, poured out an antidote pill from the jade bottle and fed it to her.

"Master, Miss Fang has been poisoned for a long time. I'm afraid her throat is..."

She didn't say anything afterwards.

"Can't you even do anything?"

Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. "The poison is easy to resolve, but the root is already damaged. We can only use medicine to slowly heal it. Maybe it can still be cured."

Qiao Yunzhen bent down, picked up Fang Yuemei, and supported her on a chair.

"This may be her choice," he tidied her hair and said slowly, "When I heard about this yesterday, I already understood her determination.

I hope the girl can fulfill her wish so that she can feel at ease.

If you need my help, please let me know. I won’t say any more.”
