She paused, then continued. “However, you clearly still don’t know me well. If I wanted to flatten you, it wouldn’t be as simple as pushing you down a flight of stairs. According to my style, it’s more likely that I’ll throw you down from here.”
“You…” Song Xirou’s pupils contracted slightly, and her fingertips couldn’t help but tremble.
“Hush!” Jian Qing raised a finger to her lips, her eyes flashed with danger. “Do you want to consider jumping from here again, to frame me once more? Maybe if you fall and get seriously injured, everyone will actually believe I pushed you down.”
Madam Quan looked at Jian Qing’s retreating figure, then at Song Xirou. Her gaze no longer held the kindness of before, and her heart was filled with complexity.
Was it really true as Axuan and the others had claimed, that Xirou was not as kind and gentle as she appeared on the surface?
Did she intentionally fall down the stairs to frame Jian Qing?
Fear rose in Song Xirou’s heart. As she saw Madam Quan from the corner of her eye, she reached out to her for help. “Madam Quan, save me, I really didn’t lie. Jian Qing wants to kill me.”
“Madam Quan, my daughter Rourou saved your life once before. You can’t just stand by and watch her being bullied.” Zhang Tong turned around, using the past favor as leverage.
“In order to save you, Rourou ended up sick and has been abroad for treatment these years. Our family has been separated, and she is already in such a bad state. Don’t you have the slightest sympathy?”
Madam Quan’s face showed a difficult expression as her heart began to twist in conflict.
Zhang Tong was right. Song Xirou had indeed saved her life once before. She owed it to her, both morally and emotionally, to repay the favor. But given the current situation, if she spoke up recklessly now, the only one in trouble would be Jian Qing.
One was her daughter-in-law, and the other was her lifesaver. She found herself stuck in the middle, in a difficult position.
Rhee was aware of this past favor. Not wanting to delay her mother-in-law from expressing her gratitude, she spoke first. “Mrs. Song, while it’s a fact that your daughter once saved my mother-in-law, let’s be clear – this matter of your daughter blaming Jian Qing for pushing her down the stairs is a serious accusation. It’s not a game.”
“But no matter what, Jian Qing should not have behaved like this! Look at her now, doesn’t she look like she has a murderous intent?” Zhang Tong snapped back.
Rhee said, “Mrs. Song, your daughter is still fine now. You shouldn’t make a fuss right away. If you really infuriate my daughter-in-law, we won’t be able to intervene later.”
She meant every word. If her son had been here, Song Xirou would probably have been thrown down the stairs by now.
Zhang Tong glanced at the two of them, her gaze anxiously settling on Jian Qing, afraid she might impulsively throw Song Xirou down.
“Song Xirou, everyone is here. Speak clearly – did you intentionally fall down the stairs, or did I push you?” Jian Qing moved her hand from Song Xirou’s chin to her throat, gripping it but not applying force.
“If you dare lie again, don’t doubt me. I really will throw you down.”
She leaned in and whispered into Song Xirou’s ear, her voice so low only the two of them could hear. “Let me remind you, I have spilled much blood and I can take more, including yours.”

The chilling voice exploded by her ear, causing Song Xirou’s eyes to widen in fear and a chill to spread from the soles of her feet upwards, as if every cell in her body had frozen.
“You…”
Jian Qing flashed a wicked smile. “I’ll count to three. If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll throw you down. I don’t like being played with, so don’t test my patience.”
“Three!”
As she began counting, Zhang Tong’s heart clenched with fear.
At this moment, she deeply regretted not having her bodyguards outside the ward. Allowing this devil, Jian Qing, into the room was the biggest mistake.
“Two!”
Song Xirou’s bit her lip, her face already pale with fear.
“One!”
As the final count came out, Jian Qing grabbed Song Xirou by the collar, as if ready to throw her over the edge.
“Rourou!”
Seeing this, Zhang Tong’s knees buckled. She reached out to hold onto the window frame, crying out in alarm.
At the moment her feet left the floor, Song Xirou capitulated.
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk!” she yelled hoarsely, her gentle voice now somewhat cracked due to fear.
Jian Qing’s beautiful face glowed with a wicked smile in the sunlight. Rhee watched her actions, inexplicably thinking it was cool.
Her son had indeed struck gold by marrying her.
She’s a perfect combination of brains and brawn. Truly awesome.
Jian Qing let her go. Song Xirou leaned against the railing, her hands trembling slightly.
“Speak!”
Ordered to speak, she nearly fell to the floor.
Song Xirou looked at Madam Quan and Rhee, an intertwining mixture of resentment and anger seething in the depths of her gaze.
After a moment of silence, she started to speak in a small voice, “I fell down the stairs myself. It had nothing to do with Jian Qing.”
“Louder. I didn’t hear it.” Jian Qing stood with her arms folded, her posture lazy. “And while you’re at it, explain why you framed me for pushing you down the stairs.”
Song Xirou bowed her head, inhaled deeply, and said in a raised voice, “I deliberately fell down the stairs myself. It had nothing to do with Jian Qing. I defamed her by claiming that she pushed me in a moment of foolishness.”
When she was done speaking, she leaned weakly against the railing and lowered her head, not daring to look at Madam Quan and Rhee.
The atmosphere cooled, and silence fell.
Madam Quan looked sternly at Song Xirou, her face full of disappointment.
So, everything Axuan and the others had said was true. She’d been blinded, saw Song wrong. Where was the Song Xirou who risked her life to save her that day?
How could she have become so scheming, even deliberately falling down the stairs to frame Jian Qing? If everyone had believed her, Jian Qing would have been wrongly accused and punished.
Rhee glanced at Song Xirou, then at Madam Quan. She didn’t try to offer comfort.
It was best to expose Song Xirou’s deceit while she could. This way, Madam Quan wouldn’t keep inviting her to the mansion, an unwelcome sight.
She looked sardonically at Zhang Tong, who stood by in a daze, saying softly, “Mrs. Song, no matter how you look at it, you’ve raised a fine daughter who falsely accuses my daughter-in-law.”
Zhang Tong flushed hotly, catching the mockery in her voice.
But even so, she still believed her daughter had done no wrong. Everything could be traced back to Jian Qing.
Song Xirou lowered her head as she heard the sound of footsteps. When she looked up and saw who was standing in front of her, her heart sank.
“Madam Quan!” She called out cautiously.
Unlike before, Madam Quan didn’t have a warm smile for her and simply looked at her seriously. “Xirou, how could you do such a thing? I trusted you so much. Jian Qing is the one Jingwu loves, my daughter-in-law. How could you slander her with ill intent? Your sinister mind chills me to the bone.”
