From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 684: 352 Reversal (Ten More Updates)_2

It should be said that both siblings looked more like Zhu Wentao, especially Ming Xin, whose facial features were as if carved from the same mold.

“You’re Zhu Shaodan, right? I heard you’ve been bullying my junior sister a lot, haven’t you?”

Feeling a bit guilty subconsciously, Zhu Shaodan touched his nose, “It’s her fault for being an imposter.”

Ming Xin grabbed his ear right away, “You dare to talk back? Is my junior sister someone you can bully?”

Subconsciously, Zhu Shaodan cried out, “Ouch, let go quickly…”

Ming Xin snorted, “You seem to have a good relationship with this Zhu Xiangxiang. So, you were in on poisoning your own mother, too?”

Zhu Shaodan quickly waved his hands, “No, it wasn’t me, don’t wrong me. I had no idea she was going to poison my mother. That’s my real mother, even if I’m a scoundrel, I wouldn’t be so heartless.”

“At least you know yourself.”

Ming Xin let go, and Zhu Shaodan gasped while rubbing his ear.

Zhu Shaodan glared at Zhu Xiangxiang fiercely, “I never thought you were like this. I must have been blind. You don’t deserve to be my sister.” He then slipped behind Ming Xin with a flattering expression.

“Sister, I’ve seen the light now, can you please forgive me?”

“Don’t call me sister.” Ming Xin frowned in disgust, staring at his green hair, her eyes full of revulsion.

Zhu Xiangxiang was dumbfounded, not expecting Zhu Shaodan to be so unreliable.

Tang Wan quietly took a step back, sensing that the situation was unfavorable. It was all Zhu Xiangxiang’s fault for being careless and not figuring out Ming Xin’s background before attempting a coup.

Seeing Ming Jing’s calm demeanor from beginning to end, Tang Wan knew that Zhu Xiangxiang, the fool, had fallen into their trap.

“Why is it like this? The paternity test sent to our house…” Zhu Xiangxiang suddenly looked up at Ming Jing.

Ming Jing nodded, “That’s right, I sent it to you.”

Zhu Xiangxiang turned pale, barely able to stand, and Zhao Xiaohui, who was closest to her, hurriedly helped her.

“You… you set me up.”

“I had no choice but to return to the Zhus back then. Now that everything is settled and my senior sister has recovered, I shouldn’t be taking the place of the Zhu family’s daughter. Seeing you wracking your brains to find fault with me, I couldn’t bear it, so I helped you out. Now you’ve got what you wanted.”

“Got what I wanted? What a nice ‘got what I wanted.’ No matter how righteous you appear, Ming Jing, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re a hypocritical, vicious, and scheming person. Today everyone sees your true colors; they won’t remember the good in you, only that you’re someone who posed as a rich family’s daughter out of greed for wealth and fame. Just wait for your downfall.”

With a faint smile, Ming Jing remained unmoved, “In what I do, I don’t seek fame or fortune, I’m open and honest, and I have a clear conscience. When others slander and deceive me, it’s their ignorance, not my fault. Since that is so, why should I worry about downfall?”

The young girl stood quietly, dressed in white, open and calm.

A person without desires or fears, without sorrows or joys, her heart was stronger than steel, harder than iron. In this world, there was no weapon or language that could hurt her.

“I don’t believe you have no weaknesses, no fears. Are you a monster?” This woman was truly terrifying; she was always one step ahead in calculations, making her appear as a fool in contrast.

The girl held a flower in one hand, her beautiful face pure and full of compassion, “I once made a great vow before Buddha to devote my life to spreading the Buddhist teachings, saving all beings, walking the red dust, promoting good and stopping evil, being free from suffering and attaining happiness, gaining immeasurable merits, and not falling into hell in the next life.”

There was a moment of silence at the scene, as everyone looked at the white-clad girl, admiration growing in their hearts. The brilliant chandelier cast a splendid glow overhead, falling on her, but only a pale golden aura remained.

She was enveloped in the golden light, and for a moment, she looked like a solemn Buddha statue.At this moment, everyone just wanted to prostrate themselves on the ground, pay their highest respects, and never dared to harbor even a trace of disrespect in their hearts.

The outcome of this play today is already clear.

Zhu Xiangxiang’s accusations no longer exist, and the so-called real and fake daughters are nothing but a well-intended lie. The bond between Senior and Junior sisters is touching. Ming Jing’s return to the Zhus to seek wealth is groundless.

On the contrary, it is due to Ming Jing that the Zhus have been able to prosper, while without her, they might have met with complete ruin and lost all their wealth.

She is the benefactor of the Zhu family.

Zhu Xiangxiang turned her head and saw everyone looking at Ming Jing with eyes full of devotion, as if she was the light of faith.

It made her almost want to vomit blood in anger.

Zhao Xiaohui closed her eyes, steeled her heart, and said loudly, “I was lying to everyone just now. It was… it was Xiangxiang who taught me to say that. It wasn’t Ms. Ming Jing who found me. On the contrary, after she found out about my identity, she not only helped me a lot, but also saved my son’s life. He’s Xiangxiang’s biological brother, but she heartlessly left him to die. If it weren’t for Ms. Ming Jing, my son would be dead by now. I’m sorry for following her and slandering you, Ms. Ming Jing…”.

She remembered what the police officer had just said about the crime of slander. Today’s events are difficult to resolve peacefully, and no matter what, she cannot be arrested, as she still needs to take care of Yangyang.

So, Xiangxiang, I can only apologize to you.

Zhu Xiangxiang did not expect Zhao Xiaohui to betray her as well. Her trembling finger pointed at Zhao Xiaohui and said, “You are my real mother…”.

Zhao Xiaohui retorted, “I only gave birth to you but didn’t raise you. They say that giving birth is nothing compared to raising a child, and you are so ruthless towards the foster mother who has done so much for you. How much affection can you have for me? When I pleaded with you to save your brother, you refused. That’s when I knew how merciless and cold-blooded you are as a daughter.”

Zhao Xiaohui’s words completely condemned Zhu Xiangxiang’s sins, and from then on, she could no longer hold her head up in Jiangzhou.

Lin Ya sighed, “Cousin Xiangxiang, what goes around comes around, why did you do this to yourself?”

“You shut up.” Zhu Xiangxiang glared at her viciously, trembling with anger at the sight of the schadenfreude in Lin Ya’s eyes.

In that instant, Lin Qing seemed to have aged by ten years.

“Xiangxiang, I never thought you would be such a person. You poisoned me, but considering the sixteen years I’ve raised you, I can let bygones be bygones. But you shouldn’t have set a trap for Ming Jing today of all days. In your eyes, the honor and reputation of the Zhu family, as well as the lives of me and grandma, mean nothing to you. You are simply too cold-blooded and selfish. Ming Jing has saved you more than once, and you repay kindness with enmity. Do you have any conscience left?”

Being pushed to this point, Zhu Xiangxiang had nothing to fear anymore, “Did I ask her to save me? Didn’t she save me just to show off how kind and magnanimous she is? She should be thanking me for giving her the opportunity to save me, otherwise where could she display her kindness?”

“Slap!” Lin Qing went up and gave her a fierce slap in the face.

“How could you say something so shameless? You are a disobedient, unfilial, treacherous, and ungrateful thing, worse than an animal…”.

Hating to the extreme, Lin Qing harshly slapped herself, leaving everyone dazed by this slap.

“It’s the mother’s fault for not teaching, not raising her child properly. I’ve made a mistake…”.

Ming Xin frowned, walked over and grabbed Lin Qing’s arm, “Stop hitting yourself. Punishing yourself for someone else’s mistake is the most foolish thing to do.”

Lin Qing stared at the face close to her, her lips trembling, unable to speak for a long time.

“Ming Xin, I…”.

She was too ashamed to face her daughter after the accusations she had made earlier.

“Alright, let’s deal with the troubles in front of us first, and we can discuss anything else later.” Ming Xin pursed her lips and turned her head away.

Lin Qing didn’t dare to face her, and neither did Ming Xin dare to face Lin Qing.
