Chapter 353: Escaping from the Zheng Family Castle!
Chapter 353: Escaping from the Zheng Family Castle!
Zheng Xiangrou is still very confident in herself.
She is quite old.
But there are many relationships between older women and younger men in this world.
Some women are not only old but also ugly, yet they can still find young, handsome, and rich younger men.
Why can't she?
not to mention.
She's just old.
She's not ugly at all!
Moreover, she has a lot of personal charm.
Besides Will, she had other suitors.
Besides, Will was a very romantic man.
and so.
It's not surprising that Will fell for her!
All I can say is that Will has a keen eye for talent.
Grandma Zheng was very excited and looked at Zheng Xiangrou, "Xiangrou, you'd better prepare well and try to settle things between you and Will at this birthday banquet."
Will was, after all, a lord.
Noble status.
She's coveted by countless people. What if someone else snatches her away if Zheng Xiangrou doesn't act quickly?
Old Mrs. Zheng is still waiting to become the Lord's mother-in-law.
Once Zheng Xiangrou marries Will, the Zheng family's status in Country P will rise accordingly, and they won't have to depend on anyone anymore.
Although the Zheng family is living a very comfortable life now, backed by the Windsor family, they are still lacking something. Compared with true nobility, they are far inferior.
But if Zheng Xiangrou marries into the Windsor family and becomes the matriarch, then it won't be the Zheng family having to cater to others anymore.
Instead, everyone has to act according to her mood.
"Settle it now?" Zheng Xiangrou narrowed her eyes. "Mom, don't think of men as so simple. If I settle things with Will now, he'll think I'm a hopeless case!"
"What I need to do now is wait for Will to urge me, instead of me urging Will."
In love, if a girl takes the initiative, then she becomes worthless.
and so.
She cannot take the initiative.
Most importantly, if she were to give herself to Will so easily, he certainly wouldn't cherish her.
The harder it is to obtain something, the more Will will value it.
Zheng Xiangrou is not the kind of novice who has never been in a relationship.
She understands men's psychology too well.
Grandma Zheng nodded, thinking that her daughter's words made some sense.
Just then, as if remembering something, Old Mrs. Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Will is good in every way, except he's a bit too promiscuous. I heard the other day that he was openly pursuing a young girl at the Connie Hotel!"
Over the years, Will has dated one girlfriend after another, with almost no gaps in his dating life.
His romantic entanglements are countless.
From the mother-in-law's perspective, Mrs. Zheng actually disliked this kind of man very much.
resignedly.
Will's status is just too prestigious!
Zheng Xiangrou said nonchalantly, "Will is, after all, a man of status and position. Men inevitably have to put on an act when socializing! Besides, he only plays around with those ordinary women outside."
"But I'm serious about liking you, otherwise I wouldn't have kept my feelings hidden for so many years."
For Will, she was the only true love, the only white moonlight.
The irreplaceable white moonlight!
In Zheng Xiangrou's eyes, the reason Will hadn't confessed his feelings yet was because he was preparing.
A man will only carefully prepare everything when he is facing a girl he truly likes.
Grandma Zheng looked up at her daughter, her eyes filled with relief.
Nobody in Country P had high hopes for her.
But ironically, she's the most promising!
Her daughter was able to marry a lord from Country P.
To become the most esteemed woman.
Meanwhile, the daughters of noble families in Country P didn't even have the right to meet Will.
just wait.
She's about to become the most envied person in the P country's aristocratic circles.
As she thought about it, Grandma Zheng's eyes reddened again. She looked at Zheng Xiangrou and couldn't help but say, "Xiangrou, if only your brother were still here! He would be so happy if he knew he was about to become a lord's brother-in-law."
Zheng Xiangqian is the best brother in the world. What he wants most is for his sister to live a happy life.
such a pity.
Zheng Xiangqian will never see any of this again.
It's all Si Huashang's fault!
It's all because of that bitch Si Huashang!
She will never let that bitch Si Huashang have an easy time in her entire life.
Zheng Xiangrou sighed softly, walked up to Grandma Zheng, and hugged her. "Mom, don't be sad. From now on, Will and I will take good care of you in place of my brother."
Despite saying that, Mrs. Zheng was still very sad.
No matter how good a daughter and son-in-law are, they can never compare to a son.
Her poor precious son died at such a young age.
The more Mrs. Zheng thought about it, the sadder she became, and she raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
Zheng Xiangrou looked at the butler beside her, squinted her eyes and said, "Where is Xu Zhizhou? Why didn't I see Xu Zhizhou come this morning?"
During breakfast, Xu Zhizhou would always be there to serve Old Mrs. Zheng.
This morning was strange.
The butler said, "Madam doesn't seem to be up yet."
Zheng Xiangrou snorted coldly, "It's this late and you're still sleeping, what a lazy bum!"
Grandma Zheng immediately chimed in, "That's right! Last night I only made her kneel in front of my bed for a little while, and she's been sleeping ever since. She doesn't have the life of a young lady, but she's got the illness of a young lady!"
Hearing this, Zheng Xiangrou became even angrier. "She doesn't have the illness of a young lady; she's just giving you attitude! I think she's doing it on purpose! Deliberately refusing to get out of bed! This jinx, she not only killed my brother, but now she dares to make you suffer!"
"Wait! I'll go and deal with her for you right away!"
This is the Zheng family home!
Si Huashang owes the Zheng family a life, yet she still dares to be so arrogant?
It's going to be outrageous!
After saying that, Zheng Xiangrou turned and left.
Grandma Zheng followed in Zheng Xiangrou's footsteps.
Zheng Family Castle is very large.
The mother and daughter walked for about five or six minutes before arriving at the house where Si Huashang was now living.
Si Huashang has been in low spirits lately, and after kneeling in Old Madam Zheng's room all night, she is now fast asleep.
At this moment.
Snapped!
Zheng Xiangrou picked up a basin of cold water and poured it all over Si Huashang.
In fact, Zheng Xiangrou was very jealous of Si Huashang.
Si Huashang not only has an extremely beautiful face.
Even that little bastard child is so beautiful.
Si Huashang is already a rare beauty.
Jiang Ning was even more than three points better than her.
Zheng Xiangrou couldn't understand why such a beautiful face had to be on Jiang Ning.
Si Huashang was instantly awakened from her sleep.
"what!"
In the early spring weather, a basin of ice water was poured on her, causing Si Huashang to shiver instantly.
"You little bitch! What time is it? Still sleeping in! Don't you know you should go serve my mother her meals?" Zheng Xiangrou grabbed Si Huashang's hair and said viciously, "I think you're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Deliberately trying to give my mother a hard time? Let me tell you, I'm still in this family! Just because my mother is kind and doesn't bother with a bitch like you doesn't mean I'll allow you to shit on her head!"
Si Huashang's face was very pale, and even her lips were bloodless. She spoke weakly, "Xiang Rou, I'm very tired today."
I'm very tired.
Si Huashang felt like she had returned to her state of mind ten years ago, living in a daze every day.
"Tired?" Zheng Xiangrou snorted coldly. "Xu Zhizhou, don't pretend with me! You're the young mistress of our Zheng family, eating and drinking well every day, living the life of the upper class. What right do you have to say you're tired?"
"Tell me! Are you doing this on purpose? Are you trying to drive my mom to her death? You want to cause trouble in this family so you can cause chaos, right?"
Over the years, the Zheng family has given Si Huashang the best life.
Living in luxury and eating fine food.
What about Si Huashang?
Not only do they not know how to be grateful, but they also act as if they have wronged her!
That's absolutely disgusting.
The more Zheng Xiangrou looked at Si Huashang, the more disgusted she felt, and she wished she could just kill Si Huashang.
But it's obvious.
Killing Si Huashang directly would be too easy for her.
Si Huashang didn't even have the strength to speak.
Feeling dizzy, she tried to pull herself together and looked at Zheng Xiangrou, "Xiangrou, you've misunderstood. I never thought that way. I'm just really tired..."
"You bitch! You're a bitch! You have the right to say you're tired? Do you know that my brother died because of you? If it weren't for you, the three of us would be so happy right now!"
"Xu Zhizhou! You're the one who deserves to die the most!"
"It's you!"
Tina had just come upstairs and hadn't even entered the room when she heard Zheng Xiangrou's screams.
Through the crack in the door that hadn't been closed properly, Tina saw Zheng Xiangrou grabbing Si Huashang's hair, her vicious words as sharp as knives, making it hard for anyone to stand still.
Not only that.
Si Huashang was completely soaked.
Tina had always known that Si Huashang was not having a good time in the Zheng family.
But she never expected that the Zheng family would insult her like this!
It's unbearable, both physically and mentally!
This was also the first time Tina had seen the Zheng family's actions so directly.
Excessive!
unacceptable!
Tina frowned deeply, her hands clenched into fists.
No!
She could no longer stand by and watch them bully Si Huashang like this.
Tina took a deep breath and was about to push open the door when suddenly a hand appeared on her shoulder and pressed her down.
Tina turned around.
The newcomer was Songluo.
Songlu shook her head at her, placed one hand on her shoulder, and raised her index finger to her lips with the other hand, making a shushing gesture.
Tina paused for a moment when she saw the pine needles.
Songluo came to deliver medicine to Si Huashang and accidentally witnessed this scene. Immediately, she pulled Tina and walked to an empty room on the side.
"Senior Songluo!" Almost as soon as they entered the empty room, Tina flung Songluo's hand away and said angrily, "Do you know what they did to Madam? P Country is a free and equal country!"
Yet, in such a country, such dark things are happening.
Songluo looked at Tina and said, "Tina, calm down. We're both adults. Adults have to be responsible for their words and actions. Are you sure you can help Madam out of her current predicament?"
"Don't forget what agreement you signed with the Zheng family when you joined the company."
Upon hearing this, Tina's arrogance instantly subsided somewhat.
Songluo continued, "Tina! Remember who you are. You're just an ordinary person. Do you know what the consequences will be if you rush in like this? Do you think you can rescue Madam on your own? Let me tell you! Absolutely not!"
Yes.
She's just an ordinary person.
How could she possibly afford to offend the Zheng family?
If she rushes in directly, not only will she fail to save Si Huashang, but she herself may also get stuck in the mud.
Songluo sighed softly, and said with some helplessness, "Tina, I know what you're thinking right now, but that's just how society is. People like us at the bottom have no power to change the status quo."
Since we are powerless to change the status quo, we can only do our job well.
"Think about it carefully yourself." Songluo reached out and patted Tina's shoulder.
After saying this, Songluo turned and left.
Tina watched Songluo's retreating figure, then leaned weakly against the wall, sliding down to sit on the ground, her eyes filled with pain.
God gave her compassion, but not the ability to save all living beings.
why?
Why did you have to let her see all of this?!
Just then, Tina suddenly saw a packet of medicine on the ground.
Green packaging.
A look of curiosity flashed in Tina's eyes, and she immediately went over and picked up the medicine.
It turns out that this is a medication for treating a mental illness, and long-term use of this medication can cause the side effect of memory loss.
Songluo came to deliver medicine to Si Huashang.
Could it be...
Is this medicine for Si Huashang?
But Si Huashang has never had any mental illness!
Tina, for some unknown reason, suddenly widened her eyes, her gaze filled with shock.
No!
She could no longer stand by and watch the Zheng family destroy Si Huashang.
She has to find a way to help Si Huashang regain her memories, be reborn, and escape from the Zheng family castle.
Thinking of this, Tina stood up from the ground, her face full of determination.
Fifteen minutes later.
Tina arrived at the infirmary.
Songluo is video chatting with her boyfriend.
"Senior Songluo."
Hearing Tina's voice, Songluo hung up the video call and looked up slightly. "Tina, what's wrong?"
Tina walked up to Songluo and said, “Senior Songluo, I think you’re right. I overestimated myself before. People like us from the bottom should do what people from the bottom should do! I shouldn’t have meddled. I’m sorry for making you worry about me before.”
At this point, Tina bowed slightly to Songluo, a very sincere apology.
“It’s alright,” Songluo smiled. “I’m relieved that you think that way.”
Tina continued, "By the way, Madam hasn't taken her medicine today, has she? I saw you chatting with your brother-in-law. How about I go and deliver it to you?"
A look of hesitation appeared in Songluo's eyes.
Si Huashang has to take medicine every day.
Even the slightest mishap could cause problems with her memory.
Tina smiled. "Don't worry, Senior Songluo, I promise I'll watch Madam take all the medicine with my own eyes! Don't you trust me?"
