Chapter 359
358, Killing with Flattery (3rd Update)
Xie Zhinuan gazed at the somber grey sky.
It was mid-November, and the air had grown cold; it looked as if it might snow soon.
“No, it’s not possible. He’s surrounded by masters, and his own martial arts are formidable. He’s fought on the battlefield-ordinary people can’t even get close to injuring him, let alone touch him. Don’t think such nonsense!” Xie Rong said, exhaling a faint breath.
Xie Rong felt that Xie Zhinuan’s heartache must be due to her mother in the capital, missing her.
Imperial Capital
The Marquis Manor
The Marchioness looked at the letter Xie Rong had sent, gently pressing it against her chest, tears dripping one by one.
It was a great fortune, a great fortune.
Her daughter was still alive, still alive.
But she had suffered so much.
And that impostor was still enjoying all the best the Marquis Manor had to offer, hmm…
Gradually, a fierce and merciless light filled the Marchioness’s eyes.
If that impostor dared come to the Imperial Capital, and since the Liang Family dared to harm her daughter, she would make sure they paid dearly.
Death would be too kind for them.
“Madam, look at this!” The housekeeper mama presented a small garment.

Embroidered with twin lotuses, the Marchioness frowned slightly, “Who embroidered this?”“It was Miss Xie Shuyue!”
The Marchioness furrowed her brows but said, “Put it back where it came from, just pretend not to know about it, and have Hanhan watch her!”
The Marchioness sniffled softly, opened the brocade box, and took out a land deed. “Give this to Hanhan, tell her this manor is hers now!”
“Yes!”
Xie Hanhan was not her biological daughter. In her early years, the Marchioness felt that Xie Hanhan bore a resemblance to Nuannuan. Plus, seeing how Hanhan was abused by her stepmother and nearly lost her life at a tender age, the Marchioness had a moment of compassion and brought her to the Manor. She taught her carefully, and noticing that she had some talent for medicine, had her learn medical skills. Today, she had achieved some success.
Over the years, her own health had also greatly depended on Hanhan’s care.
“Won’t you give anything to Miss Xie Shuyue?” the housekeeper mama asked.
“Why should I?” the Marchioness retorted.
If there was no vendetta for killing her daughter, she wouldn’t have pushed anyone into the fire. But since the Liang Family dared to harm her daughter, they shouldn’t blame her for acting ruthlessly.
Xie Hanhan looked at the land deed the housekeeper mama brought, feeling somewhat surprised and somewhat understanding.
So Xie Shuyue was indeed fake.
Then where was the real Xie Nuan? Had her third brother truly gone to Huguo Temple?
And her mother, who had been diligently taking her medicine these days, gradually became more cheerful. Although she was still unwell, it was a vast improvement compared to when she lacked the will to live earlier.
She did not dare to ask for too much, especially compared to her past miseries; the mother had granted her a second life. Although she was a foster daughter in the Marquis Manor, and her identity was somewhat awkward, the mother did not lavish her with affection but did show her some pity. She never lacked anything in terms of clothing, food, or housing.
She lived far better than many others.
When she went out, others would even call her “Miss Xie”!
Xie Hanhan put away the land deed and had someone subtly convey a message to Xie Shuyue.
A manor with hundreds of acres of land – it was not much in terms of silver, but it was enough to drive Xie Shuyue mad with jealousy.
“Ah, why, why does she, Xie Hanhan, why…” Xie Shuyue paced restlessly back and forth in her room.
On top of that, she had been having nightmares recently, her hair was falling out in clumps, her heart was racing alarmingly, and her menstruation was scant last month but was as profuse as a hemorrhage this month, and her mother had not even come to see her.
“Ah!”
Xie Shuyue cried out loud.
She wanted to smash everything in the room.
But she didn’t dare, thinking of Xie Hanhan living in the same courtyard. Xie Shuyue was vicious, like a bloodthirsty wolf.
