Guagua paused, then continued:
[Ou Baiqing told her everything she had seen. Chang Yan sent someone to inquire and learned that, while the Sixth Prince was unconscious, he kept murmuring, "Necklace, necklace."
After giving it some thought, Chang Yan took advantage of Ou Ruoxuan's unconsciousness to snatch her necklace and put it around her own daughter's neck.
Afraid the truth would come out, Chang Yan whispered into Ou Yunxiao's ear in bed. Just like that, Ou Ruoxuan was sent away to the country estate that very night.
At the Palace Banquet several years later, Chang Yan and Ou Baiqing also deliberately made sure the Sixth Prince saw that necklace.]
Song Yaoyao continued asking:
[Logically, once the Sixth Prince woke up, he should have quickly learned that a daughter of General Ou had saved him. But you said earlier that he investigated for a long time and only identified his savior after seeing that necklace at a later Palace Banquet. What was going on there?]
Guagua: [The Empress forbade anyone from telling the Sixth Prince.
She had investigated and found that Ou Baiqing was extremely spoiled and arrogant. Besides, at the scene of the rescue, Ou Baiqing's clothes were dry, while the other little girl's clothes were soaked through.
After investigating, the Empress discovered that both little girls were daughters of the general's household.
But no matter how the Empress questioned her, Chang Yan insisted that Ou Baiqing had saved the Sixth Prince. The Empress felt it was not that simple and that there had to be something they did not know, so she kept forbidding anyone from telling the Sixth Prince who his savior was.
The Empress wanted to wait until she had investigated everything thoroughly. It would not be too late to tell the Sixth Prince about his savior then!
But no matter how the Empress tried to stop them, she could not keep Ou Baiqing and Chang Yan from pushing their way into the Sixth Prince's presence themselves.
Later, the Empress told the Sixth Prince about her suspicions regarding his savior, but he would not listen. He was convinced that everything Ou Baiqing said was right and refused to hear a word from anyone else.]
Song Yaoyao: [Well, if he was falling over himself to be deceived, nothing could be done!
As the saying goes, good counsel cannot persuade a ghost destined to die, and compassion cannot ferry across someone bent on their own destruction!
Ugh!
Seriously, had General Han gone senile? Why would he marry his daughter off to a piece of work like Ou Yunxiao?
A perfectly fine legitimate daughter of a great general could have married even the emperor. Why choose such a rotten bastard?
And Ou Yunxiao, if you did not like Han Lin, you should have said so! She never held a knife to your throat and forced you to marry her!
Why act as though marrying Han Lin had wronged you terribly?
Wasn't it simply because Ou Yunxiao coveted General Han's backing and could not bear to give it up?
He claimed he did not like Han Lin while still using the resources General Han provided. He wanted to be a whore and still put up a monument to his virtue!
Really, Ou Yunxiao was just living off a woman, and he had the gall to throw his weight around while doing it!
What leaves me most speechless is General Han. He was practically a stick stirring up shit! Ruining his own daughter was not enough; now he had to wreak havoc on his granddaughter too.
He never even asked whether Ou Ruoxuan wanted it before taking it upon himself to request an imperial marriage decree. I have no words.
He thought he was doing what was best for Ou Ruoxuan, never realizing he was pushing his own granddaughter into a pit of fire.
In General Han's mind, as long as he thought something was right, did that mean he could ignore everyone else's wishes and decide everything himself?
Guagua, I truly hate people like General Han, who wave the banner of "doing what's best for you" while hurting you!
If Ou Yunxiao was the murderer who killed Han Lin, then General Han was his accomplice!
Ou Ruoxuan is still alive now, but if she dies one day, the Sixth Prince will be the chief culprit, and General Han, Ou Yunxiao, Ou Baiqing, and Chang Yan will all be accomplices!
Pah! What a pack of scum!
No matter how brave and invincible General Han might be, I have nothing but contempt for a brute like him.
What did he take women for? Things he could do whatever he pleased with?
Just thinking about it makes me so furious I want to hit someone!]
The Sixth Prince sat there in a daze. Even as Song Yaoyao cursed him, he showed no reaction.
He had actually mistaken someone else for his savior!
And he had subjected his true savior to every kind of humiliation and abuse!
What on earth had he done?
The people who had come with the Sixth Prince did not dare utter a word. They knew he disliked his princess consort, but they had never imagined he would treat a woman this way. He was simply inhuman!
The people in the other private rooms were stunned too!
This was far too melodramatic. Not only had he mistaken someone else for his savior, but he had also beaten his true savior nearly to death several times!
If they were Ou Ruoxuan, they would certainly regret saving the Sixth Prince. Perhaps they would not have rescued him back then at all, but instead pushed his head under the pond a few more times to help him die faster.
Song Yaoyao continued:
[Guagua, does Ou Ruoxuan know that the little boy she saved back then was the Sixth Prince?]
Guagua: [She does.
When Ou Ruoxuan first returned, she saw Ou Baiqing wearing her mother's keepsake and tried to take it back. But that idiot Sixth Prince rushed out to protect Ou Baiqing.
He even said that the necklace belonged to his savior...
As he spoke, Ou Ruoxuan understood everything: why her necklace was on Ou Baiqing, and why she had been sent away overnight.
It had all been plotted by Ou Baiqing and her mother. They had stolen the credit for saving his life.
Ou Ruoxuan explained to the Sixth Prince that she was his real savior, but he looked at her with contempt and said, "Bullying Qingqing was bad enough, but now you're even stealing the credit for saving my life. Are you even human?"
Then he called Ou Ruoxuan vicious beyond measure and a habitual liar...
He ordered his men to give Ou Ruoxuan thirty strokes of the heavy paddle. Those thirty strokes nearly killed her.
From then on, Ou Ruoxuan never mentioned saving his life again.]
Song Yaoyao: [Tsk, tsk, tsk. This Sixth Prince is utterly deranged!
Even a strong, healthy man might not survive thirty strokes of the heavy paddle, yet he had a woman beaten thirty times.
And that woman was his own princess consort.
I truly cannot imagine what kind of black heart lurks beneath the Sixth Prince's gentle exterior.]
Everyone thought, The Sixth Prince really is inhuman, dealing such vicious blows to a woman! He truly has a black heart!
Song Yaoyao continued her tirade:
[Guagua, with a man like that, Ou Ruoxuan should simply divorce her husband!
Not only is he blind, but he also beat his savior half to death and carries on an ambiguous relationship with that fake-innocent bitch Ou Baiqing. Tell me, what use is a bastard like him?
Wouldn't keeping him around bring nothing but bad luck?...]
What? Divorce her husband?
How could Little Lord Song have such an idea?
They had only ever heard of husbands divorcing their wives, never wives divorcing their husbands!
Guagua: [Host, in this ancient era, only husbands can divorce their wives. Wives cannot divorce their husbands!
But she could become a widow. Poison, assassination... any of those would work.
Once the Sixth Prince kicks the bucket, Ou Ruoxuan will be completely free!]
Song Yaoyao: [Guagua, could you be a little more realistic? He is an imperial prince. Can he just die because you say so?...]
Everyone was too frightened to keep listening. This Guagua had even planned out the ways the Sixth Prince could die!
