Chapter 153 He Xiangning's Secret Exposed
Chapter 153 He Xiangning's Secret Exposed
Song Ruozhen listened to the news quietly. She didn't know much about Yong'an Lane, only that it was very crowded.
Once it happens, the news will spread like wildfire.
Upon hearing this, and knowing that Madam He had been running a soup kitchen there for the past two days, he immediately understood.
He Xiangning and Qin Shuangshuang went to great lengths to frame her, deliberately choosing a place with extremely high foot traffic.
Once it's done, He Xiangning and Qin Shuangshuang will use the excuse of accompanying Madam He to distribute porridge to expose her ugly behavior in public today, ruining her reputation!
Imagine, any girl who had experienced something like this, and was exposed in front of so many people, would be ashamed and indignant to the point of death!
They not only wanted to destroy her, they wanted to kill her!
Now, she has returned everything to He Xiangning. She is reaping the consequences of her own actions!
Upon hearing the name Yong'an Lane, Song Zhiyu recalled what he had done the previous night and couldn't help but turn to look at his younger sister, "Fifth Sister, last night..."
Song Ruozhen nodded slightly, "They were trying to frame me."
Upon hearing this, Song Zhiyu was startled and felt a chill run down his spine.
If it weren't for my fifth sister's excellent skills in subduing those four guys yesterday, the situation would be unimaginable now!
Song Yanzhou noticed Song Zhiyu's strange expression and couldn't help but ask, "Could this matter also be related to Fifth Sister?"
Song Zhiyu quickly shut his mouth and shook his head, "Big brother, what nonsense are you talking about? How could this have anything to do with fifth sister?"
Seeing that his mother was engrossed in the commotion and hadn't noticed them, Song Yanzhou said in a deep voice:
"Third brother, we grew up together since we were little. I can tell at a glance whether you are lying or not."
"It's suspicious that you and Fifth Sister came back so late last night. Why don't you tell the truth?"
Song Zhiyu subconsciously looked at Song Ruozhen. He was annoyed that his two older brothers were too perceptive. Song Yanzhou was like that, and so was Song Yi'an!
Every time he tried to get away with it, those two guys had eyes like fire and he couldn't fool them at all!
Song Ruozhen chuckled. She hadn't intended to hide it from her older brother, because he was very observant and meticulous, so even if they wanted to, it wouldn't be easy for him to keep it a secret.
After the two recounted what had happened the previous night, Song Yanzhou finally realized how dangerous his younger sister had been.
"So, last night Qin Shuangshuang and He Xiangning conspired to harm you. He Xiangning was guarding Yong'an Lane, while Qin Shuangshuang was staking out near our Song family home to see if you would return."
Unfortunately, Yao Jinsheng also had ill intentions and wanted to harm you. However, his subordinates were not familiar with you and mistook Qin Shuangshuang for you.
But Qin Shuangshuang was restless; upon hearing that it was the King of Chu who had invited her, she eagerly boarded their carriage…
After Song Yanzhou sorted everything out, he couldn't help but marvel at how lucky his younger sister was.
Both groups were plotting to harm her; if she hadn't cleverly escaped danger, she would likely have been doomed!
Song Ruozhen nodded, "Big brother is truly wise; he sorted everything out so quickly."
However, Song Yanzhou clenched his fists, his face turning ashen. "Qin Shuangshuang and He Xiangning are also women, and they know how important it is for a woman to be pure. Yet they insist on harming you like this. They are truly insidious and vicious!"
"We can't let them get away with this so easily. This time they've shot themselves in the foot, but who knows if they'll try to frame us again in the future?"
Song Zhiyu had a cold face. They only had this one precious little sister, yet someone else was so concerned about her. If this matter wasn't resolved, he would have no peace of mind.
Song Yanzhou nodded, a plan gradually taking shape in his mind...
……
He Xiangning was awakened by a basin of cold water.
She stared blankly at everything before her until she recognized her mother's face.
"Mother? What are you doing here?"
He Xiangning was dumbfounded, not understanding why her mother was glaring at her so angrily, as if she wanted to strangle her.
At the same time, she felt sore all over, especially a burning pain in her lower body. She subconsciously looked down and was shocked to find ambiguous marks on her skin.
Even after his mind went blank, he finally remembered what had happened before.
She was clearly waiting to see Song Ruozhen make a fool of herself, but then she felt a headache and had no idea what happened after that.
Upon seeing the appearance of the beggars around her and the fig leaf covering her own body, she felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, filled with deep fear.
"No, no! How could such a thing happen to me?"
Madam He raised her hand and slapped him across the face, her eyes filled with disgust. "How could I have given birth to such a disgraceful thing as you? You have completely disgraced the He family!"
"From today onwards, you are no longer a daughter of the He family. Our family has no place for a shameless woman like you!"
Mrs. He could not bear the barrage of insults behind her back, each word like a blade piercing her heart.
She knew He Xiangning was willful and reckless, but she never imagined she would stoop to this level.
This is shameless... even more shameless than a prostitute!
He Xiangning looked panicked and quickly grabbed Madam He's leg, saying, "Mother, Mother, I was framed by that bitch Song Ruozhen! She's the one who ruined me!"
You know your daughter's personality, how could I do such a thing?
I beg you, please believe me!
However, Madam He's eyes were like ice. "I warned you before that Young Master Xu is not someone you can cling to. There's no need to force yourself on him, but you wouldn't listen."
You lost face at the Dong family's family reunion banquet, and I have already pleaded with your father on your behalf. A couple of days ago, you were also reprimanded by the King of Chu.
Now you've done something so shameless. Whether it was intentional or not is no longer important. All I know is that the He family can't afford to lose face like this.
Your remaining younger siblings still need to get married; they can't all be ruined because of one person!
After this happened, He Xiangning's life was completely over. If no one else knew, she might still be able to marry someone from another place and live a normal life with an ordinary family.
But now that so many people in Yong'an Lane are watching, if we don't sever all ties completely, the entire He family will be implicated, and all the children will have no future!
He Xiangning stared wide-eyed in horror, unable to believe that the heartless person in front of her was her mother!
"Mother, I am your child, how can you just abandon me like this?"
Madam He forcefully pulled her leg back, and said with heartache, "You brought this on yourself, so don't blame us for being ruthless!"
"go!"
The two noble ladies who had come with Madam He were disgusted by He Xiangning's lack of decorum, but their expressions softened when they saw Madam He decisively severing ties.
Otherwise, if the news got out and everyone knew that they were friends with Madam He, they would probably be laughed at for a long time!
