Chapter 156 The fish is dead and the net is broken?
After being kicked out of her home, He Xiangning tried to find her old friends, but found that everyone was avoiding her.
He looked as if he was afraid of being entangled with her.
She had grown up in the capital city, surrounded by relatives and friends, but now she was all alone and no one was willing to help her. She felt indescribably sad.
As she walked down the street carrying her bundle, enduring the whispers and pointing fingers around her, she suddenly heard news of Qin Shuangshuang.
"I heard that after Old Madam Lin woke up, she forbade Qin Shuangshuang from entering the house. Now she has returned to the Qin residence, which has angered the two daughters-in-law of the Qin family, causing them to return to their parents' homes."
“I think it’s normal for them to go back to their parents’ home. If it were me, I wouldn’t want to get along with a sister-in-law like that either. What kind of people are they!”
"There's been no news of a divorce from the Lin family yet. Could it be that even after things have come to this point, they still don't intend to divorce her?"
Everyone sighed in disbelief. In an ordinary family, upon hearing this news, they would have immediately written a letter of divorce. However, the Lin family has remained silent, which made everyone suspicious.
He Xiangning listened to all of this quietly, unconsciously clenching her fists, her eyes filled with resentment.
Why!
She has also lost her innocence, but now she is isolated and helpless, and even her own family no longer recognizes her.
Qin Shuangshuang only lost face. Even after she returned to the Qin family, they preferred to let their two daughters-in-law leave rather than drive her away. Lin Zhiyue was also unwilling to divorce her.
Why is God so unfair to her?
"It was clearly Qin Shuangshuang who designed this plan. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be in this situation!"
He Xiangning gritted her teeth. Originally, she only wanted to remind Xu He'an and had no intention of making a big fuss. However, every step that followed was different from what she had imagined. She was dragged down to the point of being abandoned by everyone!
With that in mind, she went to General Qin's mansion without hesitation.
When Qin Shuangshuang heard that He Xiangning had come to see her, she frowned instinctively. "Don't see her. Get rid of her!"
She knew the Yong'an Lane plan had failed ever since she met Song Ruozhen at the Yao family home. He Xiangning, that fool, kept promising there would be no problem, but ended up getting herself involved.
That's absolutely ridiculously stupid!
If this scheme succeeds, Song Ruozhen will be completely finished, so why would she bother to catch her cheating?
“Miss, He Xiangning said that if you don’t see her, she will tell the whole world the secret.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Shuangshuang's expression changed, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "That damned He Xiangning, how dare she threaten me!"
"Xiang Ning, what brings you here?"
Qin Shuangshuang suppressed her anger and smiled.
"Shuangshuang, my family kicked me out. Please help me find a place to stay," He Xiangning said.
Seeing He Xiangning make such a brazen request, Qin Shuangshuang's expression changed slightly. "You know my current situation. How can I possibly help you?"
"Why can't I help? You're not like me, abandoned by everyone. You just need to find a place to stay. You wouldn't refuse to help with such a small thing, would you?"
He Xiangning had a cold face, and she hated Qin Shuangshuang to the core. "If you can't even help with this little thing, don't blame me for making things worse!"
Now everyone only knows about your affair with Yao Jinsheng. But if I told everyone that you were the mastermind behind the Yong'an Lane incident, and that you coveted the King of Chu and were so eager to destroy Song Ruozhen, what would happen?
What will happen to you then? You'll only end up worse off than me. Want to give it a try?
Qin Shuangshuang's expression changed repeatedly. She hadn't expected that He Xiangning would try to extort money from her after her accident, and she was furious.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll have someone find you a place to stay."
“Then I’ll stay with you tonight. I don’t want to stay in anything too shabby,” He Xiangning replied.
Qin Shuangshuang gritted her teeth, "Fine, I'll definitely find you a satisfactory one!"
……
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the imperial examinations are over, and the day for the results to be announced has arrived.
Song Ruozhen has been busy these past few days. She went to the Bai family to perform a Buddhist service for Yu Yueling and Granny Xu, and finally understood Bai Zimu's worries.
The medicinal herbs sent by Chu Junting were also rare and excellent. She made them into pills, and in addition to giving one bottle each to herself and her mother, she also gave two bottles to Madam Luo and Luo Qingyin.
After Yao Jinsheng was caught cheating, he was naturally too embarrassed to propose marriage to the Luo family again. The Duke of Luo, seizing the opportunity, directly and completely rejected the marriage proposal.
The Luo family would never arrange a marriage between a family like that.
Song Ruozhen and her group arrived at the entrance of the examination hall early, where it was already packed with people eager to see the results.
"Song Yi'an, I'm definitely going to be number one this time!"
Qin Xiangheng looked at Song Yi'an triumphantly. Although he hadn't seen the list yet, he had already heard others calling his name when he arrived.
Shuangshuang had already foreseen it in her dream: he would win first place in the imperial examination and have a prosperous official career!
Song Yi'an glanced at Qin Xiangheng indifferently, "Your Qin family can't even clean up the mess right now, and you still have the leisure to show off like this?"
He heard about Qin Shuangshuang and the others after leaving the examination hall. He didn't expect so many things to happen during the exam period, and he missed a lot of exciting things.
"The Qin family has always been shameless. If it were anyone else, they would have been too ashamed to show their face in public. But they are different; they are completely unaffected."
Song Zhiyu clicked his tongue and shook his head, his expression revealing a hint of admiration. "Second brother, think about it. Catching someone in the act of adultery is no big deal for the Qin family. After he was caught, he was still able to go out with a clear conscience the next day, wasn't he?"
“That’s true.” Song Yi’an nodded, his face full of undisguised mockery.
Qin Xiangheng's face turned ashen. He never expected Qin Shuangshuang to do something so shameful. The matter of injuring Yun Chengze was already difficult to resolve, and now this had happened.
"Chengze, have you found out who harmed you?" Song Yi'an asked as she saw Yun Chengze and Yun Nianchu arriving together.
Yun Chengze nodded, "It's Yun Xiwan."
The people who did the deed that day were caught by Song Zhiyu and sent to the authorities. Although the Qin family tried to find a way to stop them immediately, they were still not as fast as the Qin family.
Yun Nianchu told her mother about the matter. Naturally, her mother would not tolerate Yun Xiwan persecuting Yun Chengze. She didn't even give Lord Yun a chance to mediate before taking Yun Xiwan to the authorities.
No matter how much Yun Xiwan's mother cried and pleaded, it was too late for Lord Yun to make peace when he returned.
"Qin Xiangheng, you're really despicable. You didn't marry Yun Xiwan just to help you ruin my cousin, did you?"
Yun Nianchu glared at Qin Xiangheng through gritted teeth. Her cousin was just a hair's breadth away from being seriously injured and missing the imperial examination, and she would have died of shame for dragging him down.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I have no idea about this!"
Qin Xiangheng's face turned ashen. "With my strength, I have no need to do such a thing. It was Yun Xiwan who acted on her own initiative. If I had known, I would never have let her do it."
His expression suggested that he was also blaming Yun Xiwan.
