Wang Yiping was fed pills that made her completely lose her strength. So, even if she wanted to die, she couldn’t die.
Moreover, Weishali was in front of her and constantly spat at her. She was so scared that she was covered in cold sweat. She didn’t dare to move at all.
She finally understood what happened when she and Wang Shengmin were bitten that night. Needless to say, it must have been this cobra in front of her.
So, it turned out that the darned Mu Zi You had already started to target her at that time. It was so hateful that she didn’t know about it.
Thus, as soon as Zi You and Shangguan LingRan came in, Wang Yiping asked laboriously, “That time, when I was…… bitten by a snake, did you…… do it?”
“Yes.” Zi You smiled enchantingly. “You can taste the feeling of being suspected of infidelity too.”
“Too?” Wang Yiping looked viciously at Zi You and asked, “When did I make people suspect you of infidelity?”
Zi You went over and slapped her hard. “When? The last time in the Palace, you wanted Shangguan Lingluo to give me an aphrodisiac to attract that b*stard Zhao HongXiang and ruin my reputation. If I didn’t discover it, I would have been ruined by you.
“You think just because I found out the truth and didn’t let it happen, you can pretend that it didn’t happen? Slut! I know everything that you’ve done. I thought being beaten with military rods thirty times would cripple you and make you honest. But you didn’t repent and even colluded with the Empress and Darong Ka to kill my loved ones and seize my grandfather’s property.
“Wang Yiping, I won’t let you die so easily. I want you live a life worse than death!”
Wang Yiping’s face turned white. She looked incredulously at Zi You. She shook her head repeatedly. “You can’t do this to me. I’m your stepmother. People will scold you for being unfilial.”
“Unfilial?” Zi You burst out into laughter. “When all your wicked deeds are announced to the public, I want to see if people will scold me for being unfilial or you for being unvirtuous. Don’t worry. I’ll make you the most infamous person in the capital very soon.
“You still have about ten days left until you give birth. When you give birth to a deformed baby, I’ll see you in the yamen. Do you think spreading false rumors about how wicked me and my grandfather are will cover up the truth? Keep dreaming!
“I not only have the living witness Liu Yanhong who can prove your dirty deeds in your maiden family. I also have the dowry list that Duke Yingguo gave you when you married. You know very well how much of the things in the storeroom are from you misappropriating funds from managing the household.”
Actually, the rumors Wang Yiping spread didn’t have any effect.
That was because on the second day when Zi You came back, she had gone to the free medical clinic to treat patients. Everyone was very impressed with her medical ethics and medical skills.
She had also posted a “Won’t Treat” list in front of the medical clinic. First, she wouldn’t treat tyrants or corrupt officials who preyed on the people. Second, she wouldn’t treat non-emergencies or anything not severe. Third, she wouldn’t treat anyone who send gifts to form relations with her and weren’t really there to see a doctor.
Finally, she had written: “Don’t lie to yourself. You know, I know, and the heavens know what kind of person you are.”
