good season

Chapter 24 A terrible thing

Thinking of this, Nie Qionghua's body, which was like a walking corpse, suddenly regained strength. She gritted her teeth and said, "What have I done wrong? Just because I was born a few years later, I should be disliked?

From childhood to adulthood, no one likes me, no one pays attention to me, what have I done wrong? "

Before she could finish her words, a whip came towards her head. Nie Qionghua closed her eyes in horror. It was over. These two damn girls were determined to kill her!
The whip did not hit her face, but her shoulder. Zhao Yunnuan only used 30% of his strength, but Nie Qionghua's skin was already torn.

"You seem to prefer rats to whips."

A gentle voice reached her ears and Nie Qionghua trembled all over. Rats? No, she didn't want them. She would rather be whipped than see rats again. The feeling of being worse than death made her suffocate just by thinking about it.

"No, don't release the mouse. I will tell you everything. Someone forced me to do this. It was Ma Dao-po. It was her! She forced me to do this!"

Zhao Yunnuan and Zhao Shiqing looked at each other, and the two sisters saw suspicion in each other's eyes.

They knew this Ma Dao Po.

As Nie Qionghua said before, Zhao Yunnuan cried every night when she was a child, and she went to Qingfeng Temple to ask for talismans, and it was through Ma Dao Po that she got them.

When she was young, Ma Dao Po worked as a Taoist servant for Fairy Fang in Qingfeng Temple. After Fairy Fang died, Ma Dao Po returned to secular life, married and had a daughter. After her husband died, one day, Ma Dao Po suddenly became enlightened and was able to invite gods to possess her body and to predict things for people.

It is said that Ma Dao Po was very effective and within two years she became famous in Liangdu.

After Nie Qionghua returned home, she was sent to a nunnery by her father and brother, where she suffered a lot.

From then on, she hated monks and nuns.

After the retired emperor went to Changshou Palace to practice, people from all walks of life followed suit. Even Qingfeng Temple, the largest Taoist temple in Liang, was in great demand, and a talisman was also hard to come by.

Relying on her relationship with Qingfeng Temple, Ma Dao Po often went to Qingfeng Temple to ask for talismans on behalf of the ladies of wealthy families. Not long after Nie Qionghua arrived in Liangdi, she met Ma Dao Po.

Although Ma Dao Po was somewhat famous, she couldn't even enter the back door of the palace due to her status as a gossipy old woman.

Because Ma Dao Po came to the palace very rarely, even though Nie Qionghua had some friendship with Ma Dao Po, not many people knew about these things.

Even Zhao Yunnuan had only heard of it vaguely, and as for Zhao Shiqing, who was rarely in the palace, he knew nothing about it.

Zhao Yunnuan lowered her voice and told Zhao Shiqing about Ma Dao Po. Zhao Shiqing narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Nie Qionghua: "You said that Ma Dao Po forced you to do it. What evidence do you have that she has?"

Nie Qionghua shuddered. She didn't expect Zhao Shiqing to be so alert and guessed the reason why she was threatened by Ma Dao Po at once.

But can that be said?

can not say!
Thinking of what happened that year, Nie Qionghua subconsciously looked at Zhao Shiqing, and that resentful look was as if poisoned.

Zhao Shiqing was stunned. Why did Nie Qionghua look at her like that?
In a flash, an idea flashed through Zhao Shiqing's mind.

She stared at Nie Qionghua and said word by word: "Ma Dao Po threatened you, but you would rather kill my father than let Ma Dao Po make the matter public.

why?
Is that a greater crime than murdering the prince?

No, you never thought that you would be exposed. You thought that you had taken a few detours in the middle, and even Aunt Zhang was not involved, and you were even more out of it, so you never thought that you would be exposed, right?"

Nie Qionghua gritted her teeth and said, "It's all because of you, you bastard! It's all because of you!"

Last night, Aunt Li and Li Baitaofen were taken out of the palace. Nanny Zhang was panicked, fearing that Aunt Li would give her away. But fortunately, the Wang family's daughter-in-law and her brother had already run away, and Aunt Li had no idea that Nanny Zhang had arranged it.

But Nanny Zhang was still afraid, so she asked a little maid to keep an eye on the Wang family.

As expected, Zhao Shiqing went to Wang's house to arrest someone today. Wang's wife had already run away, but Zhao Shiqing not only did not leave, but also went to raid Zhang's house. Zhao Shiqing kicked the door open, and the little girl came back to report the news. Zhang was so timid that she hanged herself without even saying hello.

As for the death of Prince Liang, the master and servant only paid lip service to it. Aunt Li felt sorry for her son, and Wang's daughter-in-law had an affair with the so-called younger brother. These were all their evidence. If Ma Dao Po could hold her evidence, she and Aunt Zhang could also hold the evidence against these people and bring them into submission.

Therefore, from beginning to end, the master and servant did not intervene. If Nanny Zhang was still alive, as long as she denied it flatly and with Nie's protection, the anger of the Zhao sisters would not have reached her at all.

But that bitch, Nanny Zhang, actually committed suicide. Nanny Zhang's death put an end to everything, but it brought the fire upon her.

Nie Qionghua wished she could whip Aunt Zhang’s corpse!

But compared to Nanny Zhang, the bastard Zhao Shiqing is more hateful. If she hadn't targeted Nanny Zhang, the subsequent events would not have happened. And those rats were also released by her!

"If you kill me, your mother will hate you for the rest of your life. You will be accused of being unfilial. You will be a slut while you are alive. After you die, you will go to hell and be a slave for the rest of your life!"

Zhao Yunnuan was about to swing the whip again, but Zhao Shiqing grabbed her wrist and said, "Sister, let me do it!"

Before she finished her words, she waved her hand, and the little demon who was dressing up on the table ran over.

"Go and call your little mouse brothers over to help your aunt loosen up her skin."

The little demon meowed and turned to leave. Nie Qionghua shouted with all her might, "Don't let it go. I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Zhao Yunnuan ignored her and shouted outside, "A Shuang!"

When Ah Shuang came in, Zhao Yunnuan ordered, "Go and capture Ma Dao Po. I want her alive or dead!"

Ah Shuang responded and went out, but unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out the door, she ran into Nie and Nanny Zheng who had hurried over.

Nie rushed over after hearing that Zhao Yunnuan had brought Nie Qionghua out of the dungeon.

She knew where the palace dungeon was, but she was afraid and she didn't even dare to get close.

When Zhao Yunnuan heard the greetings coming from outside, she knew that Nie had arrived.

She closed her eyes and said, "Please come in, Princess."

Nie rushed in and almost fainted when she saw Nie Qionghua in such a miserable state.

Zhao Shiqing moved a chair over and asked Nie to sit down. Nie glared at her fiercely: "The family is in turmoil since you came back. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have let the prince bring you back!"

Zhao Shiqing chuckled. Although Nie Qionghua had not confessed yet, she had already guessed something from the resentful look in Nie Qionghua's eyes.

Nie Qionghua no longer has a husband's family, and her own family doesn't accept her either. In this world, her greatest reliance is the Nie family.

What secret could she keep even if it meant killing King Liang?
That would definitely be something that would make Nie Qionghua fall into the abyss.

For her, what could be more terrifying than losing the big tree of the Nie family?

This matter must be related to the Nie family and also to her.

Zhao Shiqing could only think of one thing that could satisfy these requirements.

The unfortunate death of the little princess!
