Chapter 91: The Battle Begins 1
“I won’t force her to death.” For the sake of the old man’s age, Xia Chenge agreed. However, if Xia Minglan insisted on seeking her own demise, then she couldn’t be blamed for being impolite.
Those who bring trouble upon themselves cannot live!
Xia Minglan didn’t have much of a grudge against her, but Xia Minglan had forced the original owner to death and now wanted to kill her too. Moreover, she was currently holding the identity of a Young Lady of the Xia family. Even if it wasn’t to repay the original owner, she wouldn’t let Xia Minglan have an easy time.
Old Master Xia closed his eyes, his face filled with exhaustion. “Xiao Ge, you go out first. Grandfather wants to be alone.”
Xia Chenge looked at the Old Madam. The Old Madam shook her head, and Xia Chenge had no choice but to leave.
Some things always had to be accepted slowly. Xia Minglan had repeatedly lowered the Old Master’s expectations. By the time the truth of Xia Mingxuan’s death was revealed, perhaps the Old Master would have already been mentally prepared.
Xia Chenge went directly to the Study Room and began preparing for tomorrow’s counterattack.
Xia Minglan and her daughter had been too smug and jumping around for too long; she was tired of it.
She organized all the evidence she had collected and edited some videos, then uploaded them all to the internet.
Xia Chenge clearly and logically edited the clarifying Weibo posts in the order the scandalous information was released.
During this time, Wei En came in and out from time to time, urging Xia Chenge to eat, but Xia Chenge ignored him.
By the time Xia Chenge finished all this, it was almost midnight.
She stood up, stretched her limbs, and then ate the meal that had been reheated several times and had gone cold on the desk.
Wei En happened to walk in and saw her wolfing down the food. He felt extremely pained. “Little Miss, you must be starving! This food is all cold. I’ll have someone make you some supper.”
“It’s fine, I can still eat it. Don’t waste food.” Having experienced life in the Apocalypse, Xia Chenge cherished food greatly and absolutely would not allow servants to waste it. If she found out, she would fire them immediately without explanation.
At first, Wei En found Xia Chenge’s behavior difficult to understand, but later he realized that Xia Chenge simply didn’t want unnecessary waste, not that she was stingy and unwilling to eat.
Wei En instinctively attributed this behavior to her previous mistreatment by Xia Minglan and the others, not thinking too much about it.
“Grandpa Wei, tomorrow afternoon, keep a close eye on the public opinion online and report the situation to me at any time.” After eating, Xia Chenge solemnly instructed Wei En.
She couldn’t possibly manage so many things at the banquet.
“Yes, Little Miss. Oh, and Little Miss, tomorrow is Young Master Ling’s birthday. Are you invited to the banquet? Do you need me to help you prepare a dress?”
“No need. I’ll arrange these myself. You just need to properly complete the tasks I’ve assigned you.”
“Okay.”
“Tomorrow will be an exciting day. Grandpa Wei, you must watch the show carefully.” Xia Chenge said with a meaningful smile.
Wei En was stunned for a moment and tentatively asked, “Little Miss, was the news about the marriage contract really spread by you?”
Xia Chenge winked slyly. “Guess!”
Wei En was taken aback, then suddenly came to his senses and laughed heartily. “Good, good, good! Little Miss, you did a great job.”
“So, someone is going to Hell tomorrow. You can’t miss it.” Xia Chenge had an innocent and pure expression, but the smile in her eyes was chilling.
Wei En couldn’t contain his excitement. “I will definitely watch the ungrateful wretch go to Hell.”
“This show will not disappoint you!” Xia Chenge patted Wei En’s shoulder and left the Study Room with a smile.
Thinking about tomorrow made her look forward to it.
——
The next morning, Xia Chenge took the opportunity to deliver breakfast and used her Healing Power to treat the two elders. She wasn’t powerful enough yet; otherwise, she could have made the two elders stand up again in a single day. As it was, it would take at least half a month to completely heal them.
The two elders were completely unaware of the changes happening to their bodies and were still dejected because of Xia Minglan’s matter.
Xia Chenge racked her brain to make the two elders laugh.
“You, you’re so mischievous,” the Old Madam said, looking at her with affection. “I wonder who will be fortunate enough to marry you in the future.”
As soon as Xia Chenge heard this, she knew the Old Madam was still bothered by what Xia Minglan had said yesterday, thinking that the Ling family truly looked down on her.
“I won’t get married. I’ll stay with you forever, okay?” Xia Chenge said with a smile.
However, in reality, she had also considered finding a companion for herself, so Ling Hanmu was more suitable as a friend to her.
This scheme against Xia Minglan was also intended to use this opportunity to have the Ling family break off her marriage contract with Ling Hanmu, minimizing the harm to Ling Hanmu.
Of course, Xia Chenge would never reveal these things. If Ling Hanmu were to find out, things would become complicated.
“Silly girl, what girl grows up and doesn’t get married? If we’re all gone, who will be with you then?” Old Master Xia chided. “But don’t worry, even if Grandfather is lying in bed, I can still find a good man who appreciates and respects you.”
Xia Chenge felt embarrassed and could only laugh it off, quickly using the excuse of going to school to escape.
The concern about her major life event put immense pressure on her!
On the way to school, Xia Chenge took out her mobile phone and browsed the news.
Xia Minglan and her daughter were surprisingly calm this time, not releasing the news about Ling Hanmu’s engagement. Although there were some revelations about this matter online, they were just ripples and couldn’t cause a big wave.
The spotlight was still on Ling Hanmu’s eighteenth birthday and her, the notorious Xia Chenge.
Since that was the case, she would ride the popularity wave to start the battle. She would log onto Weibo without any disguise to fight, directly tagging the two big influencers who had exposed her scandalous information.
Queen Xia Chenge: #Young Master Ling’s 18th Birthday##Infamous Xia Chenge# The innocent will clear themselves. Enough is enough. See you in court! @GossipHasABit @NobleFamilyFeudsGatheringPlace
After the Weibo post was published, the two tagged big influencers immediately responded.
One reposted her Weibo with three smiley face emojis, and the other reposted it with a terrified expression, a provocation from a position of confidence.
Xia Chenge’s Weibo was immediately flooded:
Holy crap, I’ve lived long enough to see this kind of bitch dare to call herself Queen. Have some shame!
Hahaha, this is such a timely way to ride the popularity wave. Could it be that she posted this Weibo because she wants to attend Young Master Ling’s birthday and is trying to get an invitation?
Xia Chenge will be hated forever. Explode on the spot. Cannot be whitewashed.
Let me tell you a joke: a delinquent girl who had N abortions is aspiring to be a queen.
Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter!
……
Xia Chenge faced the comments’ attacks with composure, completely unprovoked. Instead, she was engrossed in scrolling through the comments.
Public opinion is truly terrifying. Things that are completely unsubstantiated become established facts with just a few reposts from larger accounts.
Just then, Xia Chenge received a call from Xu Jingyun.
“Xia Chenge, are you trying to whitewash yourself now because you want to attend Young Master Ling’s birthday banquet? But I’m curious, do you even have the qualification to get an invitation from Young Master Ling?” Xu Jingyun taunted condescendingly. “Why don’t you beg me, and I’ll take you to see the world?”
