Chapter 755: The Saint is Cruel and Merciless (10)

Old Madam Zhuang and her son sat in the room chatting privately, and the woman mentioned what happened that year.

"When you were little, you and she were both enrolled in the Imperial Academy. Of all the young masters back then, you and Duan Jingwu were the closest in age to her. She's incredibly talented and has a proud personality. Although many people try to please her because she's a noble princess, she generally ignores those young ladies and gentlemen. She doesn't like Duan Jingwu, but she'll talk to you a few times. Maybe she likes you."

The woman stood up and patted her son's shoulder. "My son is very handsome, and they are childhood sweethearts. If necessary, you can pretend to be nice to Ming Li. It's best to conceal your identity and find an excuse to sneak in. Women will always let down their guard when they see a man who loves them. Wait until you have cheated Ming Li of all her treasures and trump cards, and then kill her."

"This... isn't good. I'm a military commander. Playing those tricks and deceiving women is truly unjust..."

"What's wrong with that? You're right to listen to your mother! Didn't you hear that Duan Jingwu was seriously injured? That shows you can't fight head-on. Her mother was the most beautiful woman in the capital back then. She was very pretty when she was little. Although she was arrogant, those young boys and girls liked to get close to her. Now she must have grown into a great beauty. My son will not lose out if he gets close to her."

Zhuang Xingwei seemed to recall the appearance of Princess Wuyang back then, and his voice was a little numb.

"Yes, son, I listen to you."

Mingli was speechless when she heard what was said in the room. She was indeed precocious and disdained to play childish games with these young ladies and gentlemen, but she also listened to her mother. Old Madam Zhuang had a good relationship with her mother, so she would naturally pay attention to Zhuang Xingwei when he talked to her.

As for liking someone, a four or five-year-old girl really doesn't understand love. And has this old woman forgotten her own ingratitude? Where does she get the confidence that she would fall in love with Zhuang Xingwei? Instead of killing him to vent her anger?

Zhuang Xingwei wanted to get close to her, but he didn't even look at what he looked like. "Greasy man, get away." He didn't lose anything, but she did.

It seemed she had to write a letter, asking the clan members to play with Zhuang Xingwei. Want to outsmart him? Okay, I'll accompany him to the end.

Mingli looked at the old lady Zhuang - the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, who had a close relationship with her mother at that time, but ended up becoming an accomplice of the executioner and swung the knife towards the Eastern Palace. Perhaps she had intended to get close to the Eastern Palace and appeared to be loyal to it, but secretly she had been following Duke Shen for a long time. No wonder her daughter could become the Crown Princess.

There are quite a few old friends in this imperial city. Back then, when it came to Miss Zhuang, she saw that this person was just trying to please her on the surface but was actually jealous of her, so she didn't bother to pay attention to Miss Zhuang. Now that she has become the Crown Princess, she must be feeling proud, haha.

"Son, mother will wait for your safe return. Your sister is already the Crown Princess. When she gives birth to the Crown Prince's son, she will need you to be her backer. The future of the Zhuang family depends on you!"

"I will definitely live up to the expectations of my mother and sister."

Mingli was unhappy with the Zhuang family's happy look, so she decided to tell the truth about the death of the Loyal and Brave Marquis to the concubine's son Zhuang Xingjie. The reason why the concubine dared to be so tough in front of the wife was not only because she was favored, but also because her son won the top spot in the imperial examination!

But because of the scandal, the concubine's son was essentially ruined. His promised marriage was lost, his career was ruined, and he was left with a life of shame. The concubine's daughter was directly married off by Old Lady Zhuang to a 50-year-old fourth-rank official as his second wife. She died two months after the marriage.

Mingli refused to believe that Zhuang Xingjie didn't hate the main wife in the Zhuang Mansion. In fact, Zhuang Xingjie wanted to burn down the Zhuang Mansion.

Now that he knew the truth, he wanted to tear off the old lady's mask and redress his mother's innocence. With this traitor lurking in the dark, the banker's crisis was imminent.

Mrs. Zhuang, who is now laughing with great pride, will soon be able to meet her former close friend, the Crown Princess. I wonder if she is afraid and whether she dares to see her good friend.

Mingli sprinkled medicinal powder in the room, causing the two of them to have itchy all over their bodies, sores in their mouths and tongues, irritability in their hearts and livers, and bad tempers starting tomorrow. It would take half a month for them to get better. It was considered a small lesson.
