So Ning Ruqiu took advantage of the time before Zhao Weirui's funeral to go to the woodshed to check on her body.
Although Ning Ruqiu wasn't a forensic doctor, the pathologies were the same. After the examination, she found out that Zhao Weirui's filth was deliberately done by someone.
The situation suddenly fell into a stalemate, but Ning Ruqiu had patience and time. She watched as the other party fell into the trap she had woven bit by bit, losing all hope bit by bit. In the end, he even had to ask her for help.
Zixi's psychological endurance was far from as strong as Ning Ruqiu's. In front of Ning Ruqiu, all her little tricks were equivalent to showing off in front of an expert. She might even accidentally hit her own feet.
"I said, I can tell you anything you want to know.”Zixi finally gave up resisting. This was completely within Ning Ruqiu's expectations.
"Then tell me about your grudge with Zhao Weirui. Why do you hate her so much?”Ning Ruqiu still hadn't forgotten what she saw that night. The reason why Zixi sneaked into the woodshed that day wasn't because she heard that Zhao Weirui would come back to life. She wanted to tear Zhao Weirui into pieces. Suicide was too easy for her.
Zixi's eyes were suddenly filled with sadness, as if she had remembered something that made her sad. She slowly recalled," When I was very young, my father passed away. It was my mother who raised me up. Not only did she teach me how to read and write, but she also taught me how to defend myself. At that time, I never doubted why an ordinary woman would know so much. Until one day, a group of people suddenly came to my house. My mother was anxious. He locked me in the closet and faced those fierce soldiers alone.”
Without needing Zixi to continue, Ning Ruqiu could roughly guess what would happen next.
"After the soldiers left, I struggled to escape from the wardrobe. However, I didn't expect to see my mother lying in a pool of blood.”It had been three years, but even now, when Zixi closed her eyes, the image of that time appeared in her mind. She hugged her mother's warm body tightly, but no matter how she called out, her mother did not give her any response.
Zixi buried her mother on a mountain not far from them. When her mother was still alive, the mother and daughter liked to come here to enjoy the scenery. Sometimes, they could even bring back a lot of food.
Zixi was gradually able to accept the fact that her mother was dead until half a year ago, when she saw Zhao Weirui on the street.
When Zixi said this, she suddenly became excited." Do you know? That vicious woman actually wore that white jade hairpin and swaggered through the city. I recognized it at a glance as my mother's thing, so after asking around a few times, I found out that she was the daughter of the Zhao family, King Ye's concubine.”
"So I thought of a way to enter the Prince's mansion and become a servant girl. Then, I lost all my dignity to please Zhao Weirui and finally became her servant girl.”During that time, Zixi hated herself, but in order to know the truth of her mother's death, she would rather be ordered around by Zhao Weirui like a dog.
"Later, Zhao Weirui finally trusted me a little, so I found an opportunity to ask about the white jade hairpin. In the end, she actually said that the white jade hairpin was hers, but I knew that it was clearly my mother's family treasure.”
Zhao Weirui probably couldn't imagine that it was because of something that she thought was the most normal thing that caused her to be killed.
"Zhao Weirui's words were not to be trusted, so I learned everything from her personal maid. It turned out that when Zhao Weirui was on the street, she noticed my mother's stall. She was originally very interested in the small things on the stall, but who knew that she suddenly noticed the white jade hairpin in my mother's hair. She wanted to spend a high price to buy my mother's hairpin, but my mother did not agree. As a result, Zhao Weirui appeared to be quite understanding, but she sent soldiers to my house to take it away. In the end, she even killed my mother. How could I not take revenge?”
Ning Ruqiu listened to the entire story, and the content she had expected at the beginning was almost the same.
"It's only right and proper for you to avenge your mother, but why do you have to frame me to achieve your goal?”Ning Ruqiu asked coldly. Zixi had been by Zhao Wei's side for at least a few months, and in these few months, there should be more or less an opportunity for her to make a move, but she chose Zhao Weirui to come here. Wasn't this clearly trying to put all the blame on her?
"I did want to frame you." Zixi answered very frankly. Now that she had avenged her mother, it didn't matter what kind of ending she had, so she was quite honest." Because I think only you can take down Zhao Weirui, so I didn't hesitate to frame you to achieve my goal.”
In fact, if Zhao Weirui didn't come back aggressively one day, Zixi wouldn't have known about Ning Ruqiu. Perhaps she had heard of this name before, but she never paid attention to it. Later, Zhao Weirui couldn't get any benefits from Ning Ruqiu again and again. Zixi was even more certain that if Ning Ruqiu appeared in her revenge plan, it might be twice the result with half the effort. Sure enough, the reality was not much different from her imagination.
"You really think highly of me. Even I didn't know that I was so useful.”It did not feel good to be used as a tool, but Ning Ruqiu somewhat admired Zixi.
"I've already said everything I wanted to say. Even if you want to know about the other things, I'm not of any use. So can I leave now?”
"Don't forget that you're poisoned. Do you want to die?”
"Being able to avenge my mother is my greatest wish in this life. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, living or dying doesn't make much of a difference to me.”Compared to her mood when she first entered the door, Zixi felt that she had calmed down a lot at this moment. Moreover, after being discovered by Ning Ruqiu, she no longer had any hope of surviving.
"Since you want to die so much, why don't you give your life to me?”Ning Ruqiu's words seemed to be announcing Zixi's death sentence, but her expression didn't seem to be the case.
"It doesn't matter. If you want to take it, just take it.”Zixi resigned herself to her fate and said," After all, I did bring you trouble and dragged you into my revenge plan.”
Ning Ruqiu shook her head and looked at Zixi playfully." You seem to have misunderstood me. I don't want to kill you, but I hope you can become my right-hand man."”
Ning Ruqiu considered that she was really weak. Other than Xiao Tao, she didn't have any other confidants. Although Xiao Tao could take good care of her daily life, her weak personality made her unable to do many things. Therefore, Ning Ruqiu needed a more powerful helper.
Zixi opened her mouth wide, very surprised that Ning Ruqiu would have such a suggestion. She clearly thought that she would die for sure, but she had to take a turn at this time. Could it be that God had no intention of taking her life?
"I can give you some time to think about it. No matter what your final choice is, I won't do anything to you.”Ning Ruqiu saw tenacity and strength in Zixi. In this country where men were superior to women, it was Ning Ruqiu's fortune to find such a person.
"Is what you said true?" Zixi still didn't quite believe Ning Ruqiu's words. How could such a good thing happen to her?
The servants had long spread that Ning Ruqiu was the best master in the Prince's mansion. Not only did she not put on airs, but she also shared good things with her servants. Previously, Xiao Tao looked sallow and skinny, but now she was more and more round. Her face also had a luster. It was obvious that she was living better than most of the servant girls in the Prince's mansion.
Moreover, from what had happened recently, it was not difficult to see that His Highness had begun to value Ning Ruqiu. It was much more comfortable to be with a favored master than to burn a fire in the kitchen or clean the courtyard.
"I have no reason to lie to you. You have something I need, but I have to remind you that I can't stand any betrayal. If you agree, you have to keep your promise and don't let me find out that you've done anything wrong to me.”Ning Ruqiu said coldly.
There were always some benefits in putting the ugly words in front of her. It was to prevent people from being confused and thinking that she was easy to bully. That would be a big mistake. However, during this period of time, the number of people making things difficult for her had decreased rapidly. Instead, she had heard more and more flattery. Even Xiao Tao had become the target of some people's flattery. Unfortunately, her Qiuli Courtyard really did not have a place for those fence-sitters.
When Zi Xi heard Ning Ruqiu's words, she knelt on the ground without thinking and agreed sincerely," I'm willing to be your right-hand man. I'll never have second thoughts about you."”
Zixi replied respectfully. She believed that she would not regret making this important decision today. As time passed, she was even more glad that she had chosen the right master. She had followed Ning Ruqiu and seen too many things. Ning Ruqiu had really given her too many surprises.
"In that case, I hope we can work together happily.”Ning Ruqiu stretched out a hand. Rather than saying that she treated Zixi as a servant, it was better to say that she was a potential partner.
Zixi didn't understand why Ning Ruqiu would reach out, but her body subconsciously made her hold Ning Ruqiu's hand tightly. The warmth from her palm made her feel as if she had been reborn.
After getting rid of the shackles of avenging her mother, the expression on Zixi's face made Ning Ruqiu even more certain that this was a good decision.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 27PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
