Chapter 123 Showdown
"Lin Qianqian and I only met three times in total.
The first time, I fled to Changzhou City, I saw Lin Qianqian and a group of beautiful ladies in gorgeous clothes fighting for cloth in a clothing shop.
The second time, someone wanted to kill me. When I asked, I found out that the mastermind behind it was Lin Qianqian. So I went back to Changzhou and asked her why she wanted to kill me, after all, I didn’t know her.
The third time was when I first arrived at Zhu Mansion and Zhu Qiu brought her to see me."
At this point, Luo Xiaoran glanced at Zhu Qiu and said very bluntly:
"On the way here, I told Zhu Qiu that I had met Lin Qianqian, but it was obvious that Lin Qianqian would not reveal that she had sent someone to kill me.
Zhu Qiu probably didn't believe my one-sided story, so he deliberately asked Lin Qianqian to come to see me that day to observe our respective reactions. It was also a test. Am I right?"
Zhu Qiu lowered his head and said nothing, while Zhu Jingxing fell into silent silence when Luo Xiaoran said that Lin Qianqian sent someone to kill her.
After a long while, Zhu Jingxing's hoarse voice rang out: "Zhu Qiu, what you want to report is about Lin Qianqian?"
Zhu Qiu glanced at Luo Xiaoran who had already told him everything, hesitated for a moment, and nodded heavily:
"Yes! If what the young lady said is true, then the fact that the young lady disappeared on the way to the new post is most likely related to my cousin!"
"Why didn't you tell me the news earlier!" Zhu Jingxing suddenly roared, shocking Zhu Qiu, who always thought that his master was gentle and polite.
Zhu Qiu quickly knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, and quickly explained: "After all, this matter has not been verified, and you are busy with affairs in Kyoto, so Zhu Qiu wants to wait until the matter is clarified before reporting to you.
Now that the master has returned early, Zhu Qiu has thought about it again and again and decided to tell the master about this matter and let the master make the decision. "
Zhu Jingxing's eyes became as deep as thick black ink. He raised his slender hand to support his forehead and waved his other hand, "You go down first!"
Luo Xiaoran jumped off the table and was about to go outside.
"I didn't tell you!"
Zhu Qiu quietly retreated, and Luo Xiaoran quietly stepped back to the opposite side of Zhu Jingxing, and said resignedly:
"I have explained everything I need to explain. Your sister was killed by Lin Qianqian. That's all I have to say. I just want to live my life peacefully. I hope you will let me go!"
"But you clearly took over Shu'er's body. What gives you the right?" Zhu Jingxing raised his head, his eyes widening.
Before Luo Xiaoran could say anything about Zhu Jingxing's sudden attack, Zhu Jingxing called Zhu Qiu in again.
"Tie her to the pillar." Zhu Jingxing ordered.
"Zhu Jingxing, you bastard! Did I provoke you?"
Luo Xiaoran, who was drugged, had no strength left in her body and was unable to fight back.
Zhu Qiu used very strong cloth to wrap Luo Xiaoran's body around the pillar, wrapping it around and around, from below the neck to above the ankles, "Sir, should I seal her mouth too?"
"No need, just go out!" Zhu Jingxing waved his hands weakly, and Zhu Qiu went out with a worried look.
Luo Xiaoran was amazed at this way of tying people up, which neither hurt the person being tied up nor made sure the person would break free.
Don’t ask Luo Xiaoran how she knew this. This is the experience she gained after struggling several times like a maggot.
Zhu Jingxing walked towards Luo Xiaoran step by step with steady steps.
"As long as you admit that you are Shu'er, you will still be the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, and it's okay..." Zhu Jingxing seemed to still have some expectations.
"I admit it!" Before Zhu Jing finished speaking, Luo Xiaoran gave a decisive answer.
He didn't want Luo Xiaoran to be timid, mainly because Zhu Jingxing's current expression was particularly scary, as if as long as Luo Xiaoran's performance was not to his liking, he would eat Luo Xiaoran alive.
"Then why didn't you admit it before, Shu'er?" Zhu Jingxing's eyes were red and bloodshot, staring at Luo Xiaoran.
Luo Xiaoran swallowed her saliva and said in a very gentle voice: "Before, before, I was angry with you, angry that you abandoned me and caused me to suffer a lot, so I deliberately didn't recognize you."
Zhu Jingxing's hand touched Luo Xiaoran's face, from her eyebrows, across her nose, and was about to touch her lips...
"What are you doing?" Luo Xiaoran asked loudly after turning her head away.
Zhu Jingxing's expression now is very strange. The way he looks at Luo Xiaoran doesn't look like the expression of a brother looking at his sister, but more like... Could he and Zhu Jingshu be siblings without blood relationship?
Thinking of this, Luo Xiaoran asked.
Zhu Jingxing's outstretched hand seemed to be burned by Luo Xiaoran's words, and he suddenly retracted it. His eyes were a little evasive, but he loudly refuted: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Luo Xiaoran took a breath and said, "You are really not Zhu Jingshu's biological brother, and you like Zhu Jingshu?"
Zhu Jingxing raised his hand again, not as gently as last time, but directly grabbed Luo Xiaoran's neck and said viciously: "I told you not to talk nonsense!"
If looks could kill, Zhu Jingxing would have been turned into ashes in seconds by Luo Xiaoran.
"Zhu Jingxing, you bastard, if you have the guts, go and avenge Zhu Jingshu!"
With the strength of an adult man's hand on Luo Xiaoran's delicate neck, it was not easy for her to utter this complete sentence.
Zhu Jingxing seemed to have regained his sanity. He put his hand down in a daze and looked at Luo Xiaoran like a child who had done something wrong.
"Cough cough!"
Luo Xiaoran coughed violently several times, and the feeling of suffocation slowly eased. Her blurry eyes began to focus, and she finally saw Zhu Jingxing who was at a loss.
"You really got me right! You just like Zhu Jingshu, and Zhu Jingshu doesn't know your feelings for her, right?
She thought you were her biological brother and was only dependent on you, never expecting that you would develop a romantic relationship with her."
"Shut up! Shut up!"
After his secrets of many years were exposed by Luo Xiaoran, especially when Luo Xiaoran was wearing Zhu Jingshu's face, Zhu Jingxing was like a mad beast. He no longer had the demeanor of a handsome young man who had won the imperial examination.
"Why are you yelling at me! I told you that it was Lin Qianqian who killed Zhu Jingshu, go and avenge your sweetheart!" Luo Xiaoran yelled back without showing any weakness.
"It's you! It's you who took over Shu'er's body. Give my Shu'er back to me and get out of Shu'er's body!"
"Zhu Jingxing, are you sick? I'm telling you, the person who harmed Zhu Jingshu was Lin Qianqian. If you don't believe me, go check it out. Don't go crazy in front of me!
I used Zhu Jingshu's body, but I didn't come in on my own initiative, and it wasn't me who harmed Zhu Jingshu!
Even if I owe a debt, it's to Zhu Jingshu, I don't owe you anything!"
"Then why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
