Chapter 356: The Two-Way Journey of Mother and Daughter
Upon hearing what Grandma Zheng said, Tina subtly clenched her fingers.
"Yes, madam, don't worry, I will definitely supervise you to finish taking your medicine."
Grandma Zheng nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.
Today is Zheng Xiangrou's birthday.
There were still many things waiting for her to do in the front hall.
Since both Cyril and Will were going to personally visit Zheng Xiangrou to celebrate her birthday, many nobles and dignitaries accompanied them.
The scene was grand.
At times like these, Old Mrs. Zheng would naturally greet guests in the front hall.
As she reached the door, Old Madam Zheng looked at the butler waiting outside and said, "Arrange for a few more people to keep an eye on this lowly slut. Make sure she doesn't go to the front hall and offend the important person!"
“Yes, madam.” The butler bowed respectfully.
Instead of going directly to the front hall, Old Mrs. Zheng went to the Buddhist hall, lit three incense sticks, and then respectfully kowtowed to the Buddha statue, saying, "May the Bodhisattva bless my daughter Xiang Rou and help her to sit securely in the position of Lady of the Order of the Lord."
Once Zheng Xiangrou really marries into the Windsor family, they can return to China in style.
After offering incense, Old Mrs. Zheng slowly walked towards the front hall.
By now, guests have started arriving one after another.
Zheng Xiangrou is entertaining guests.
Upon seeing Old Mrs. Zheng, she immediately went over and asked, "Mom, have you kept an eye on that bitch?"
Grandma Zheng nodded. "Don't worry, she's trapped now, she can't cause any trouble."
Having lost her memory, Si Huashang is like a sheep.
She told Si Huashang to go east, so Si Huashang dared not go west.
She told Si Huashang to go north, so Si Huashang dared not go south.
Since she had already said that Si Huashang was not allowed to come to the front hall and had arranged for someone to watch over Si Huashang, it was obvious that Si Huashang would not dare to disobey her.
Zheng Xiangrou nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss Miriam has arrived."
Just then, the voice of a servant came from outside.
"Why is she here?" Zheng Xiangrou frowned slightly.
Miriam is one of Will's many suitors and is also the daughter of a nobleman from P country.
Will has a principle.
Although he is a womanizer, he doesn't have affairs with friends or people in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, Miriam could only have unrequited love for many years.
Most importantly, Zheng Xiangrou and Milian had no connection whatsoever, so there was only one possibility for Milian to attend her birthday party at this time.
They're here to steal Will from her!
Zheng Xiangrou did not deliberately hide her status as an internet celebrity, so Milian must have seen that comment.
Will will invite her to dance the opening dance tonight.
To be honest, Miriam is really shameless!
Will clearly doesn't like her, but Miriam still keeps pestering her.
How can someone be so shameless?
Nausea.
Although Zheng Xiangrou found Milian disgusting, now that she was here, she couldn't just keep a cold face, could she?
Moreover, Miriam is a noblewoman.
“Miss Miriam,” Zheng Xiangrou greeted her with a smile.
Miriam nodded. "Happy birthday, Miss Zheng."
"Thank you, please come in."
Miriam walked inside, her eyes darting around. After a moment, she spoke, "Miss Zheng, has Lord Will not arrived yet?"
Hearing this, Zheng Xiangrou snorted coldly in her heart.
She knew that Miriam was there to seduce Will.
Wait!
Soon Miriam will find out that she is the only person Will loves most!
Zheng Xiangrou smiled and said, "Yes, Lord has not arrived yet."
Miriam nodded, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes. "Lord Will isn't not coming, is he?"
not coming?
how can that be!
Zheng Xiangrou narrowed her eyes. You see, Will came especially to celebrate her birthday.
He might even confess his feelings to her at her birthday party today.
How could he not come?
but.
Zheng Xiangrou is not ready to accept Will yet.
So, if Will confesses his feelings to her tonight, she will definitely reject him outright.
And she!
She will also be the first person to reject Will.
It might even get published in the newspaper.
after all.
No woman in this world can resist Will.
Just then, another voice came from outside.
"Lord Will has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiangrou's eyes lit up, and she immediately stepped forward to greet him.
Grandma Zheng, who was standing nearby, also went to greet them.
Almost all the guests today were cosplaying their favorite characters.
Except for Will.
He walked in, dressed in a nobleman's robes and carrying a luxurious cane, looking very imposing.
Mrs. Zheng walked at the front, saying, "Lord, thank you for gracing my daughter's birthday party."
“You’re too kind,” Will glanced at Mrs. Zheng. “This is a small gift I prepared for Miss Zheng. It’s nothing special.”
Since Will is here, it's natural to prepare a gift.
It goes without saying that what Will prepared for her must be priceless.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiangrou immediately took a few steps forward, her face flushed, and said, "Thank you, Lord."
"Miss Zheng, you're too kind."
Zheng Xiangrou calmed her wildly beating heart. "Lord, please come in."
Will stepped into the banquet hall.
As soon as he entered, murmurs arose in the banquet hall.
"Lord Will! It's Lord Will!"
"My God, Lord Will is so handsome!"
"I didn't expect Lord Will to actually come to the Zheng family's banquet."
"..."
Hearing these comments, Zheng Xiangrou's lips curled slightly. It was just Will attending a banquet, yet these people were so surprised.
If Will were to publicly invite her to dance and confess his feelings to her later, wouldn't everyone be green with envy?
No one knows how happy Zheng Xiangrou is right now.
Finally, it was her turn to trample these people under her feet.
Will walked into the banquet hall and looked around.
strangeness.
Where is Jiang Ning?
I didn't see Seria either.
Will frowned slightly. Could the intelligence be wrong?
Seria and Jiang Ning will not come at all.
After all, the Ryan family and the Zheng family had never had any dealings with each other.
Why would Xilia suddenly bring Jiang Ning to Zheng Xiangrou's birthday party?
Just as Will was thinking of an excuse to leave the Zheng family, the announcement came again from outside the door.
"Miss Celia has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Will immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems the intelligence was correct.
Zheng Xiangrou went out to greet her as usual, "Ms. Ryan, welcome to my birthday party."
Cyril nodded coolly and continued, "This is my friend Ningning."
Siriya looked stunning in her formal attire.
She exudes a queenly aura.
However, Zheng Xiangrou did not include Xilia in her list of potential enemies.
Will isn't stupid.
How could he possibly fall for a scumbag who got pregnant out of wedlock?
Standing next to Xilia, Jiang Ning was wearing a mask. Zheng Xiangrou didn't recognize her immediately, but she was still shocked when she looked up at Jiang Ning.
Wearing a mask did not conceal her beauty; instead, it gave her a captivating, half-hidden beauty.
It's very beautiful and eye-catching.
Zheng Xiangrou looked at Jiang Ning and felt a sense of crisis.
The woman was acting mysterious, even wearing a half-mask...
Could they be here for Will too?
Trying to seduce Will?
That's pure fantasy.
She's the person Will loves most!
"Welcome, welcome," Zheng Xiangrou continued with a forced smile. "Please come in, both of you."
Seria took Jiang Ning's hand and walked step by step into the banquet hall.
Almost as soon as they stepped into the banquet hall, gasps of surprise filled the air.
"My God, what a beautiful hiding place."
"This is so incredibly accurate!"
"Even though Miss Ryan next to me is also very beautiful, I can't help but look at Yin."
"Who is this Yin? I've never seen him before?"
"..."
Hearing these comments, Jiang Ning remained expressionless, her gaze sweeping over everyone present.
They didn't even spare the servants' faces.
Although Jiang Ning was wearing a mask and cosplaying as a ghost, looking completely different from her usual self, Will still recognized her at a glance.
A look of amazement flashed in his eyes.
From now on, I can have Jiang Ning cosplay different characters for him every day.
Tsk!
So fresh.
really interesting.

the other side.
Si Huashang has slowly regained consciousness.
Tina was feeding her medicine. "Madam, how are you feeling now?"
"Much better," Si Huashang said, pressing her temples. "My head still hurts a little."
Tina handed Si Huashang a yellow pill. "Madam, this is the last pill. Taking it may relieve your headache."
As Si Huashang looked at the pills Tina handed her, many memories flooded her mind.
Whenever she was about to remember something, Old Mrs. Zheng would have someone feed her medicine.
This medicine.....
Is there really no problem?
Tina seemed to see the doubt in Si Huashang's eyes. She turned to look outside and lowered her voice, saying, "Madam, I am not like Songluo. Trust me, I will not harm you."
"I will help you regain your lost memories. Have you felt your mental state improving these days?"
Si Huashang was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood the reason, "So, you, you changed the medicine?"
No wonder, no wonder her condition has been gradually improving these days.
Tina didn't speak, but put her index finger to her lips and nodded gently.
Si Huashang's heart skipped a beat.
Tina's condition gradually improved after her medication was changed.
and so.
The medicine that Grandma Zheng gave her has always had problems.
Was she being controlled by the Zheng family all along?
Si Huashang dared not think any further. Numbly, she took the medicine Tina handed her and swallowed it with the water in the cup.
After taking her medicine, Tina continued, "Let me accompany you for a walk in the garden to get some fresh air."
This room is really not a place to talk.
"Mm." Si Huashang nodded and was helped up from the bed by Tina.
The two had just reached the door when they were stopped by several servants.
"Madam, the old lady said that there are distinguished guests in the front hall today. In order to avoid offending them, you should stay in your room."
Tina frowned slightly. "I'll accompany Madam for a walk in the garden. Is it not allowed to skip the front hall?"
"No."
The servant's attitude was tough.
Si Huashang smiled indifferently, "If it doesn't work out, then forget it. Tina, you go back first. I want to be alone in my room."
Tina sighed softly, "Alright then, Madam, if you need anything, you can have someone call me anytime."
Si Huashang nodded.
After Tina left, Si Huashang turned around and went back to her room, closing the door behind her.
Sitting in the chair, Si Huashang kept hearing that voice in her mind.
Sheng Bao.
Sheng Bao!
Si Huashang raised her hand and patted her head, trying to calm herself down. Why, why did Old Madam Zheng keep refusing to let her go to the front hall?
They even sent people to keep an eye on her.
Also, why has Mrs. Zheng used medication to control her for so many years?
A voice inside Si Huashang was telling her something.
There's a secret in the front hall!
Once she goes to the front hall, she can solve all the puzzles.
Thinking of this, Si Huashang stood up from her chair, her face full of determination. She was determined to go to the front hall and solve the mystery herself!
Unable to get out through the main entrance, she tried other methods.
She had lived for Zheng Xiangqian for the first half of her life and had never been powerless against Old Mrs. Zheng.
Today, Si Huashang decided to live for herself for once.
