Chapter 2058: Argument
“Aren’t you shameless!” Yuan Mi exclaimed in disbelief. “If Qi wanted to acknowledge this supposed life-saving grace, why wait until now? What have you gained in the past two years if he hasn’t acknowledged it?”
“Then why do you suspect me and subject me to humiliation?” Tang Fanghua cried out. “I’ve told you the truth. I genuinely don’t know anything about that pill. All I know is that my mother entrusted it to me before she passed away, saying my father accidentally obtained it and it could cure all poisons. With my parents gone, I have no way to prove it. How can I explain this any clearer?”
Yuan Mi sneered, “If I recall correctly, your parents were just small landowners with a bit more land than others, right? Do you honestly think it’s plausible for your father to have stumbled upon a pill capable of curing all poisons by chance? You’re too trusting. You willingly offered up the treasure your parents left you without even knowing Qi’s true identity!”
“Why wasn’t I aware of your boundless generosity?”
“As the saying goes, like master, like servant. You two are equally greedy! It’s well-known!”
Lvmei, her voice trembling with anger, interjected, “Miss Yuan, do you have any evidence to make such accusations?! I know you’ve never favored our Miss, but this is going too far!”
“You…”
Qin Yuanshan gently pulled at Yuan Mi’s sleeve, urging her to drop the topic. “Let’s move on. There are more pressing matters at hand.”
Yuan Mi let out a heavy snort, her disdain evident.
Tang Fanghua’s tears continued to stream down her cheeks as she gazed at Qi with a mixture of sorrow and anguish. “Qi, why? Why would you suddenly accuse me like this? Why would I deceive you? But… I have no way to prove myself. What should I do? Even if others doubt me, don’t you trust me…”
Qi’s gaze turned cold as he regarded her. “I only believe in the truth. I may have misjudged before, but not anymore.”
Qiao Xuan intervened, her tone firm. “Don’t attempt to sow discord here. Qi didn’t heed anyone’s attempts to sow discord; that’s why he spoke those words. Have you forgotten about Lvying?”
“That girl is terrified. She fears for her life! Despite my leniency, she knows I could turn against her at any moment.”
“What recourse does she have but to endure it? She divulged this secret herself to plead for her life. Miss Tang, what more is there to say?”
Tang Fanghua realized that Lvying must have caused the problem. She deeply regretted it.
Two years. She had two years to manage the aftermath. Why did she have to leave such a looming threat unresolved?
Not only Lvying, but also Lvmei.
Did she fear losing servants to attend to her without Qi’s life-saving grace? Perhaps she should have allowed these two maidservants to meet untimely ends in the past two years!
Her overconfidence had blinded her. She never imagined anyone would dredge up this matter again. Who could have foreseen today’s calamity…
Of course, Tang Fanghua wouldn’t confess to it.
With Lvmei aiding her defense, she shamelessly shifted the blame onto Lvying. She concocted a tale, alleging that Lvying had harbored desires for General Shao due to his beauty, and had schemed for Tang Fanghua to offer her to him as a concubine.
