From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 683: 352 Reversal (Ten More Updates)

Zhu Xiangxiang shrieked, “You’re talking nonsense, you’re slandering me, I’ve never poisoned my mother.”

Lin Qing turned her head towards Zhu Xiangxiang, deeply disappointed in her daughter after reflecting on everything in a short period of time.

“Still being stubborn when cornered.” Ming Xin pulled out a recorder.

Zhu Xiangxiang, feeling that something was amiss, lunged towards Ming Xin in an attempt to snatch the recorder. Ming Xin sidestepped, and Zhu Xiangxiang missed, stumbling and almost falling to the ground.

Ming Xin turned on the recorder with a smirk.

Conversations flowed out from the recorder. Two women’s voices could be heard; one filled with seduction and the other, filled with nervous caution, which was easily recognized as Zhu Xiangxiang’s voice.

Zhu Xiangxiang shook her head fiercely as her last hope shattered upon hearing the recording.

Zhu Wentao’s expression changed dramatically, his eyes fixated on Ming Xin.

Ming Xin turned towards Zhu Wentao, “Mr. Zhu, this voice must be familiar to you.”

“What exactly do you want?” Zhu Wentao spat through gritted teeth.

“I should be asking you that. What do you really want? What has my junior done to the Zhus to deserve such a fall from grace?”

Lin Qing had assumed Zhu Xiangxiang had been tricked by Zhou Ling, but upon hearing the recording, she realized it was all on purpose. She was dumbfounded, her face pale.

She pointed at Zhu Xiangxiang, “You… You’re worse than an animal, a sinner…”

Everyone was stunned by the turn of events. The instigator was Zhu Xiangxiang, and she even intended to murder her mother. This was utterly scandalous even to animals.

Zhao Xiaohui was shocked, she had always known that Zhu Xiangxiang was no good, but she hadn’t expected her to be this cruel. By comparison, it seemed like Zhu Xiangxiang had been merciful to her, which left Zhao Xiaohui unsure whether to cry or laugh.

Even Zhu Shaodan, no matter how despicable, would never poison his own mother. He looked at Zhu Xiangxiang in disbelief, “Is this true? Did you really poison mom?”

Zhu Xiangxiang shook her head desperately, “No, I didn’t, it was Ming Jing who falsely accused me.”

Li Ling, who had been watching the show until now, stepped forward and said, “Although a recording can’t be used directly as physical evidence, it can be submitted for forensic analysis to verify its authenticity and whether it has been edited.”

Turning towards Lin Qing, he added, “As the victim, you can report this. Despite the length of time that has passed since the incident, justice is always served. This should deter those with malicious intentions.”

His words were the last straw for Zhu Xiangxiang.

Zhu Xiangxiang suddenly turned to look at the silent Ming Jing, screaming, “You tricked me, you’ve always been pretending. You pretended to forgive me, lowered my guard, and secretly recorded me. You’re so cunning, don’t let her fool you.”

At this point, Zhu Xiangxiang was still trying to fool everyone into turning against Ming Jing. Whether you call it delusion or courage was up for debate.

“You… how could you be so ridiculous…” Ming Xin couldn’t help but curse out loud.

Ming Jing stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Ming Xin. She looked coldly at Zhu Xiangxiang who had nowhere to retreat to, head held high, looking back at her.

“Madam Zhu treated you as precious as a pearl, even willing to wrong her own daughter in order to protect you. You committed the unforgivable sin of harming her. I shouldn’t have had hope for you. You ended up harming others and yourself.”

“What are you good for? Pretending to be compassionate when you’re actually petty and malicious. Your supposed sister asked you to replace her while she made up for your mistakes. You’re just after the wealth of the Zhu family. Your sister is so naive, fooled by you.”

Ming Xin couldn’t stand it any longer and gave Zhu Xiangxiang a slap, “Can’t you understand what people are saying? Do you find self-deception entertaining? My junior and I grew up together, I know her better than you do. Who are you to pity her? You’re insane, driven mad by greed.”

Zhu Shaodan didn’t help Zhu Xiangxiang this time. He stared at Ming Xin without blinking, having no doubt that she was his real sister.

Because his face was very similar to hers.
