Flowers bloom without worries

Chapter 130 The truth comes to light (4)

After a long while, the woman slowly spoke: "That day, Miss Jin'er asked you to go to her bedroom because she wanted to tell you something important about the Emperor. Because Miss Jin'er knew very well that as long as it involved the Emperor, you would not refuse."

"Then, she told me to mix a drug into the tea you drank. After you fell unconscious, Miss Jin'er would stab herself with a dagger, thus creating the illusion that you were deliberately trying to murder her."

"However, according to what you said, how could she take her own life so easily?" Lan Xi looked at the woman in front of her with suspicion, thinking about various possible outcomes in her heart, but she never expected that the real murderer would be Jin'er's personal maid.

Lan Xi widened her eyes, looking at the woman in front of her in disbelief, and asked with a slightly trembling voice: "So... who killed Miss Jin'er?" She had originally thought of countless possibilities, but had never expected this outcome.

The woman's gaze gradually changed from initial betrayal to deep hatred. She bit her lip and replied indignantly: "It was me. I killed Miss Jin'er with my own hands!" Lan Xi couldn't help but gasp and her body trembled slightly.

"Why did you kill your master?"

"I really can't stand the torture she inflicts on me any longer! Even if I am just a humble servant, do I lose my dignity and rights as a human being? How can she treat me like this and look down on me like a piece of grass?"

"My parents sold me to her because my family was poor. Over the years, whenever she was unhappy, she would use all kinds of cruel methods to torture me. However, for the sake of money and my family, I had no choice but to swallow my anger and silently endure all the pain."

"I have always been looking forward to the day when I can regain my freedom and escape from her clutches. I never thought that fate would play tricks on me and she would bring me into the palace. I knew that I would never be able to leave this place again in my life, so I had no choice but to accept the reality. However, one day, Miss Jin'er revealed her conspiracy to me, and I clearly realized that if the plan was exposed, I would become a scapegoat."

At this point, the woman smiled bitterly and continued, "I understand that my chance has come. This time, I must go all out and must not fail. When the Queen fell into a coma, especially when Miss Jin'er asked me to help her self-mutilate, I knew that the critical moment had arrived and I had to hold on to this only chance..."

"Without hesitation, I raised the extremely sharp blade in my hand and stabbed it into her soft body. The blade ruthlessly penetrated her skin and internal organs, instantly plunging her into endless pain. Miss Jin'er opened her eyes wide, her face full of fear and despair, and tried to beg for mercy with her last bit of strength, but my heart was burning with an unprecedented sense of joy and relief."

"At that moment, it was as if all the restraints were cut off and I was finally free. I clearly realized that from now on, nothing could stop me from pursuing freedom."

"After killing her, I calmly washed off the blood stains on my body and carefully placed the murder weapon in your hands. Then, I quickly changed into clean clothes and burned the bloodstained clothes to ensure that no traces were left."

Lan Xi stared at the woman in front of her, and secretly sighed in her heart: The ancients were so cold-blooded and cruel! However, she did not sympathize with this woman. Although she had suffered countless unspeakable sufferings and tortures, if it weren't for the greedy and relentless pressure from Miss Jin'er, she would probably not have embarked on this path of self-destruction!

As the saying goes, "There must be something hateful about pitiful people." Lan Xi would never feel pity for someone just because he or she has a miserable past. After all, everyone must be responsible for their own choices, no matter what consequences these decisions bring.

At this moment, Lan Xi's eyes showed no sympathy for the woman in front of her. As an experienced killer, she knew one thing very well - if she had sympathy for her enemy, then death would be the only thing waiting for her.

"You know, no matter how miserable and sad your past was, it is not enough to make me feel pity for you. You must bear heavy and painful punishment for the sins you have committed! The reason is very simple. This path is chosen by you yourself. No one forced you to do this, so you can't blame others." Lan Xi's tone was firm, decisive and resolute.

The woman slowly raised her head, stared at Lan Xi in front of her and said, "I am willing to bear all the consequences of my actions and pay the due price for it. I have never regretted doing these things. However, it is not my intention to impose the crime on you. There are too many difficulties that I cannot help. I dare not ask for your forgiveness, I just hope that my family can be safe and sound."

"Don't worry. After you pass away, I will send someone to properly settle and care for your family. Although I can't guarantee that they will enjoy a life of wealth and luxury, at least I can make sure they have enough food and clothing. After all, they are all innocent victims of this storm." Lan Xi promised solemnly.

"I have always adhered to my own bottom line in dealing with people. If the matter has nothing to do with other people, I will definitely not deliberately make things difficult for them." Lan Xi continued calmly.

"Thank you very much." The woman looked at Lan Xi with gratitude, expressing her sincere gratitude.
