Chapter 107 The Female General Who Did Not Love Makeup (12)
Seeing that her attempts to appease Xia Mingwei were failing, Zhou Ying's attitude became extremely firm.
"Even if I'm biased and send you to the battlefield, so what?" Zhou Ying asked in a cold voice.
"No way! What I'm saying today is to remind you not to do such disgusting things and then act like a loving mother to me. It's disgusting to watch!"
As Xia Mingwei said this, she revealed a smile, "What do you call this? If you're a prostitute, don't pretend to be virtuous! Otherwise, wouldn't you, Mother, get all the good things in the world?"
Although Xia Mingwei kept referring to Zhou Ying as her mother, her attitude towards Zhou Ying showed little respect.
Zhou Ying was angered by Xia Mingwei's provocative words. She trembled all over, and her chest heaved violently.
"Even so, what can you do to me? In the end, you still have to obey me and go to the battlefield! It's just a pity that God is blind, how did you, this wretched girl, come back alive!" Perhaps provoked by Xia Mingwei's words today, Zhou Ying began to speak recklessly.
At this moment, all she wanted was to retaliate against Xia Mingwei, completely forgetting her purpose for coming here today. She was here to extract information! How could she possibly reveal her innermost thoughts?
Seeing Zhou Ying's anger and embarrassment, Xia Mingwei's smile widened even more.
You can't even handle hearing this much? You have to understand that the original owner of this body suffered greatly before barely escaping death from that dangerous battlefield. Seeing her mother and brother at home, she believed that everything she had done, her sacrifices, were worthwhile.
But unexpectedly, these two heartless people disregarded family ties and drugged her, rendering her a cripple. Then, to get rid of her, they arranged for her to marry a homosexual man, ultimately leading to her tragic end.
None of these people are good people, and she won't let any of them get away with it. Xia Mingwei is only confronting Zhou Ying now to collect some interest in advance!
As the saying goes, the best way to deal with someone's anger is to ignore them.
Just as the saying goes, Xia Mingwei managed to ignore Zhou Ying's hysteria.
Perhaps feeling ignored, Zhou Ying felt a little bored.
She left him with the words, "Don't go out for the next few days. Stay home and think about what you did wrong!"
After saying that, she left in a hurry.
Through Xiao Ba's retelling, Xia Mingwei learned that after Zhou Ying turned and left, she went to Xia Wei's room.
Upon seeing that it was Zhou Ying, Xia Wei hurriedly went to greet her and anxiously asked, "Mother, what did she say?"
Zhou Ying clenched the handkerchief in her hand and said through gritted teeth, "That wretched girl probably hates us for sending her to the army camp!"
Hearing this, Xia Wei wasn't surprised at all. After all, if he were in Xia Mingwei's shoes, he would also be dissatisfied with Zhou Ying's arrangement. But now that he was the beneficiary of the role reversal, he couldn't say much!
Xia Wei was unusually silent for a moment, then spoke up, "Mother, did you manage to get anything out of her?"
"What a load of crap! That wretched girl won't say a word!" Perhaps angered by Xia Mingwei's defiance this time, Zhou Ying, who always prided herself on being an elegant lady, actually started to speak rather crudely.
Hearing this, Xia Wei frowned. If Xia Mingwei refused to cooperate, things would get complicated!
Now that she refuses to talk about it, we can only look for a breakthrough elsewhere.
"How about I go find some of the soldiers she's with and sound them out?" After thinking for a while, Xia Wei offered his idea.
Zhou Ying jumped up from the stool, shaking her head as she said, "Now that your status is different, if you go to them rashly, it will definitely arouse suspicion. I'll go instead!"
Xia Wei thought about it for a moment and realized that Zhou Ying's words made sense, so he agreed with her.
Over the next few days, the two men put in a lot of effort, trying to extract useful information from them.
Among the soldiers who followed, none of them harbored any suspicion. After all, what parent in this world would harm their child?
Zhou Ying prepared a banquet, inviting only Xia Mingwei's personal guards. After seating everyone, she began her performance.
“My poor child, he was so young when he left home, and now so many years have passed. As his mother, I have no idea how he survived all these hard times, or what happened to him?”
Her eyes reddened, and she spoke these words through tears. Anyone who saw this long performance would praise her as a good mother.
Xia Mingwei listened to Xiao Ba's retelling in the room, clapping her hands repeatedly. "Such a good actress, Zhou Ying, are you out of your mind?"
Seeing Xia Mingwei laughing heartily, Xiao Ba asked curiously from the side, "Host, these soldiers are, after all, people you spend every day with. Shouldn't we stop them? What if they say something they shouldn't? That would be troublesome!"
Xia Mingwei waved her hand, "No need, Zhou Ying and Xia Wei are like grasshoppers after autumn, they won't be able to hop around for much longer! We stopped them this time, but they'll find other ways next time!"
"So, host, you're planning to play along?"
Xia Mingwei patted Xiao Ba's head and praised, "Xiao Ba, you've grown a lot!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ba proudly puffed out its chest, "Of course! Host, you're making progress, so I can't hold you back!"
After saying that, Xiao Ba asked again, "Then, host, should I continue to monitor them for the next few days?"
"Keep an eye on them! Little Eight, just watch. The day I'm to go to the palace for an audience is fast approaching. They won't be able to hide their true colors for long! I reckon they'll make their move on me soon!"
As Xia Mingwei had guessed, after several days of investigation, the two decided to take action against her.
"Mother, are you really willing to do this?" Before taking action, Xia Wei decided to test Zhou Ying's attitude one more time.
He put in so much effort and thought, but unexpectedly, in the end, all his efforts were in vain because of Zhou Ying's betrayal.
"Let's do it! Perhaps it was a mistake to have you and her switch identities in the first place. Now it's time to set things right and let everyone return to their original positions!" Zhou Ying said from the side.
If Xia Mingwei were standing nearby, she would have been both angry and amused by these shameless remarks. When needed, they disregard everything and insist on sending their daughter to the battlefield; when not needed, they let others retire victorious while their son reaps the glory!
With just a word she says, things go exactly as she pleases, as if she gets all the good things in the world by herself?
