"But these people either have concubines at home or are poor and have to take care of their sick fathers, or they are second wives and have to raise someone else's children. How can this be called a good marriage?" Kang Miaoqing asked back.

"I want to have a good talk with you." As he said that, Kang Miaoqing dragged Liu Yuefu to an abandoned palace nearby.

This palace seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. It was overgrown with weeds and looked very dilapidated.

"For you, the daughter of a guilty minister, this is the best marriage you could have. Otherwise, would you be made a concubine?" Liu Yuefu responded with sarcasm in her eyes.

"I want to have a good talk with you." As he said that, Kang Miaoqing dragged Liu Yuefu to an abandoned palace nearby.

This palace seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. Walking through the gate, it was very empty inside. The small gardens on both sides were overgrown with weeds. The plaques on the palace were all peeling paint. It must have been a long time since anyone had lived there. It looked very dilapidated.

"So what if I'm someone's concubine? In many families, being a concubine is not better than being a mistress." Kang Miaoqing closed the palace door and walked towards Liu Yuefu step by step, speaking as she walked.

"Besides, I have married the second prince on my own and become a rare noble woman in the Great Qi." Kang Miaoqing said arrogantly.

"Then why didn't you stay in the Li family as a concubine, but ran away and went to the State of Chen, disguised yourself as a spy?" Liu Yuefu sneered and asked back.

"Who are you saying is a spy? You need evidence to say that. I am the princess of Chen. Do you want to destroy the relationship between the two countries and start a war?" Kang Miaoqing said with a smile.

When Liu Yuefu looked at Kang Miaoqing's smile, she felt a chill all over her body. The chill went straight to her bones and made her shiver.

Kang Miaoqing was not afraid of having her identity exposed at all. Maybe her mission in Chen State was to stir up relations between the two countries so that Chen State could send troops naturally.

"Kang Miaoqing, you are simply a lunatic!" Liu Yuefu said word by word.

"Hehe, madman, even if I am crazy, it is because of you, you guys, and this world that I have driven crazy!" Kang Miaoqing said loudly.

"If it weren't for you, if it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't have ended up like this. It's all your fault, all your fault!" Kang Miaoqing shouted without caring about her image.

"Kang Miaoqing, as my cousin, I used to be open and honest with you. What about you? What did you do?" Liu Yuefu sneered, as if she felt sorry for her past self. "You betrayed me, slept with Li Jianzhang, and gave birth to a son."

"How dare you bring that up? He was a trap you set for me on purpose, right? Right or wrong, tell me." Kang Miaoqing pulled Liu Yuefu very close to her and questioned her.

"He's just the trash you want to throw at me, right?!" Kang Miaoqing continued to ask.

Liu Yuefu turned her head away and did not answer.

Kang Miaoqing said: "I always remember what you said the day you left the Li family. You said, 'Take the garbage I threw to you. I hope you like it.'"

"Li Jianzhang is just a piece of trash that you were eager to get rid of after you attached yourself to King Jing. You said that I betrayed you, haha, but actually it was a trap you set for me." Kang Miaoqing continued.

After a pause, she continued, "You can lock me into the Li family this way, and you can divorce me happily and then marry me as a princess and live happily with King Jing. You can be a happy family. That's a beautiful idea."

"You think too complicatedly." Liu Yuefu said.

"Your mother snatched my mother's marriage and married Lord Liu. Now she is the wife of a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Do you know that when the Wang family approached Lord Liu to discuss the marriage, they were talking about my mother and Lord Liu, not your mother!" After saying that, Kang Miaoqing loosened her hand that was tightly holding Liu Yuefu's and pushed Liu Yuefu away.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yuefu did not fall to the ground as she expected. Instead, she somersaulted and, relying on the martial arts skills she had practiced hard in the past, she stopped abruptly and then stood firm.

Kang Miaoqing's eyes widened as she watched, how could this be possible?

Liu Yuefu slowly walked towards Kang Miaoqing step by step, and she said word by word: "Since you know everything, why not let you know more completely."

"I'm not them, so I don't care anymore. Do you still remember the day when I led the Liu family to catch an adulterer in Tongquan Temple, and my mother grabbed your hair and said those angry words while she lost her mind?" Liu Yuefu said.

As if to awaken Kang Miaoqing's dormant memory, Liu Yuefu leaned close to her and whispered in her ear: "My mother said: 'Those who can climb into bed are also used to climbing into bed!'"

Kang Miaoqing suddenly turned her head, her eyes filled with burning anger that seemed about to burst out.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm just giving you a kind reminder." Liu Yuefu said.

Then, Liu Yuefu smiled and said to her: "After all, you really only know half of this matter."

Kang Miaoqing became even angrier when she saw her laughing.

"It was exactly as you said. The marriage between the Wang family and your mother was arranged for Lady Wang Wu. After all, your mother was a concubine's daughter, and she was a good match for my father who came from a poor family. But your mother didn't want to. Your grandfather favored your mother's aunt, so naturally he doted on your mother a little more. Since your mother didn't want to, the matter was dropped." Liu Yuefu said.

"But unfortunately, during a banquet at the Wang family, my mother was bumped by a child while passing by the corridor of the Wang family. My father was quick to grab her shoulders and sleeves, so she didn't fall. Because of this, my mother had a good impression of my father. Later, the two of them met two or three times at the Wang family because of your mother's marriage, but they only exchanged a few words from a distance."

"When grandpa heard that your mother didn't want to, he was worried about how to tell the Liu family about it. At that time, your mother was having an affair with the prince of Pingnan Marquis Mansion in the temple, and was caught by the Wang family. The two of them slept in the same bed. After they came back, your mother's aunt and your mother knelt in front of your grandpa and begged him with tears."

"Of course they cried and begged my grandmother. This incident caused great unrest in the Wang family. If you suspect that this matter is false, you can go and ask my grandmother if she is still alive."

"The rest of the story was simple. Grandfather had no choice but to ask grandmother to go and mediate with the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion, and finally the Pingnan Marquis's son married your mother. Otherwise, what do you think? How could the Marquis's son be willing to marry a concubine's daughter as his principal wife?!" Liu Yuefu asked back.

Kang Miaoqing didn't say anything.

After a long while, she said quietly, "You know very well that it is impossible for me to go to the Wang family to verify it with my current status. These are just your one-sided words. I don't believe you!"

"Our grudge will be decided in the end, and who will be the winner! What's the point of saying so much? You forced me to do all this, so you can't blame me!" Kang Miaoqing said this and left in a cool manner.
