Xiulan shook her head repeatedly, "How can that be possible? If I leave, I'll be betraying my master. If the mistress finds out, she'll beat me to death."

Huang Wanzhen ignored her, quickly picked up a pen and started writing on the paper.

"Give this letter to the lady, and ask her to find someone who can read it to her. She won't punish you."

"Go quickly! I'm still waiting for you to save me. If you don't leave, we'll both be stuck here."

Huang Wanzhen rolled up the paper, stuffed it into Xiulan's arms, and pushed her out. "I won't be back in two days. Remember to bring my mother to rescue me."

Xiulan left Shuxiangyuan with a sad face and a bag on her back.

Huang Wanzhen was no longer in the mood to read. She sorted out the manuscript, took out the key, opened the bedside table, and counted the belongings inside.

Thinking of the dowry in the west room at this time, Huang Wanzhen slapped her head in regret. She should have sorted it out earlier, exchanged the unused items for money and deposited them in the bank so that she could carry them with her when she ran away.

Thinking of this, Huang Wanzhen took out the claw hammer she had bought before and walked towards the west room.

She boldly removed the red seal and scanned the room from beginning to end. She found that even the pots, pans, and toilets were there. She grinned speechlessly.

She passed those things and went straight to the box containing bedding. After searching for a long time, she found six silver ingots hidden at the bottom of the box.

She put all the silver ingots on the ground and tried to pry open the box containing the betrothal silver. It was completely dark and Huang Wanzhen was afraid of being seen, so she didn't dare to turn on the light. She found ten silver ingots in the dark.

She tidied up hastily, found a piece of cloth, put the sixteen gold ingots in her bag, and returned to the bedroom.

She put the cloth bag on the table, locked the door first, and then turned on the light.

The dim light illuminated the room and also the gold ingots on the table. Huang Wanzhen breathed a sigh of relief and continued to clean up.

More than an hour later, two bundles appeared on the inside of Qiangong's bed. He opened his pocket watch and saw that it was almost ten o'clock. Huang Wanzhen didn't take off her clothes, turned on the light, and lay down on the bed to sleep.

She needed to conserve her energy to deal with Zheng Yusang's revenge.

When she opened her eyes again, the sky was slightly brighter. In the faint light, Huang Wanzhen looked at her watch. It was a quarter past five.

She quickly got up, walked to the door, pricked up her ears and listened to the sounds outside. There was silence all around. Then she turned back to bed, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

When I got up again, it was already bright outside and past seven o'clock.

Huang Wanzhen picked out a plain cheongsam from the closet and changed out of her jacket and skirt.

Without even having breakfast, he picked up his bag and hurried out of Zheng's house.

She hailed a rickshaw and headed straight to Citibank in East City.

After coming out of the bank, Huang Wanzhen took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Looking around, she found a noodle stall, ordered a bowl of noodles, ate and drank her fill, called a rickshaw, and went to Santa Lane.

As soon as they met, Huang Dongshi poked Huang Wanzhen twice and said, "Xiu Lan came back last night and scared me to death. What sin did I commit in my previous life to give birth to such a troublesome girl like you?"

Huang Wanzhen said confidently, "I can't just let him bully me like that without fighting back, right? He'll bully me every day from now on."

Huang Dong sighed helplessly, "Isn't this what all women go through? Your father beat me, your uncle beat your aunt, it's all the same. As a daughter-in-law, what can I do? Just bear it. Everything will be fine after I give birth to a son."

Huang Wanzhen wanted to refute, but when she saw Huang Dongshi's pale face, she suddenly shut up.

Helping Mrs. Huang sit on a chair, Huang Wanzhen asked with concern, "Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"

Mrs. Huang patted her hand gently and said, "I didn't sleep well last night. I'm relieved to see that you are okay."

Huang Wanzhen took her hand, leaned over and whispered, "Go lie down for a while. It's still early. I won't accompany you. I'm going to Teacher Shen's class."

After the class, before leaving, Huang Wanzhen took Shen Junru's hand and said, "If I don't come to class for two days in a row, please go to Zheng's house in Dongjiao Lane to see me."

Shen Junru looked at her puzzledly, "Why does it look like a last will? Are you okay?"

Huang Wanzhen tucked her hair behind her ears, raised her head and chest and said, "It's nothing, I just had a fight with my nominal husband. I think it's a small matter."

Shen Junru was surprised and asked, "You? With your small body, can you beat a man?"

Huang Wanzhen curled her lips, "Who are you looking down on? In a fight, besides physique, the main thing is momentum. The arrogant ones are afraid of those who don't care about their lives."

Shen Junru shook her head in disapproval, "Okay, I get it. If you don't come for two days in a row, I will go to the Zheng Mansion in Dongjiao Lane to rescue you."

"But you promised me that you would admit your mistakes when you get back, and make a big deal out of a small matter."

Huang Wanzhen, who knew how to pretend to obey but actually disobey, nodded solemnly in agreement.

After returning to the Zheng Mansion, everything was the same as usual. Huang Wanzhen walked slowly towards Shuxiangyuan, and no one stopped her.

Zheng Yusang didn't come back for several days, and the Zheng Mansion was calm. Huang Wanzhen calmed down and blamed Xiulan, who had just returned, for "making a fuss".

"Madam, the young master has brought back his classmates, and Madam has ordered you to go to the front hall to entertain the guests." Yingtao walked in, swinging her handkerchief and twisting her waist. Huang Wanzhen was stunned. "Ah? The young master is back?"

Cherry nodded modestly, "Yes."

Huang Wanzhen and Xiulan exchanged a glance and asked tentatively, "Is there something wrong with the young master?"

Cherry turned her face away in a somewhat impatient manner. "What could be wrong with the young master? In my eyes, the young master is the most appropriate in every way. Young Madam, please don't use me as a raft."

Huang Wanzhen felt that the Zheng family was a bunch of lunatics. Not only did the masters not understand what others said, but the servants also followed suit. They were simply hopeless.

But thinking about the fight a few days ago, Huang Wanzhen was extremely curious about Zheng Yusang's face. She finally had the opportunity to see him from the front, and she really couldn't bear to give it up.

"Well, I'll just change my clothes and come over."

In the end, Huang Wanzhen nodded.

When they arrived at the front hall, the Zheng family of four were all there, and a young man wearing round glasses and a black suit was talking. Somehow, Huang Wanzhen felt that this man looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

Zheng Yuli lowered her head shyly and did not dare to look directly at the young man.

Zheng Yusang raised his chin slightly and listened quietly. His handsome face, which was as handsome as the man next to him, had two red blood marks on it, making him look a little funny.

"Greetings, Father and Mother." Huang Wanzhen walked into the hall without looking around, bowing slightly. The eyes of several people in the room were instantly focused on Huang Wanzhen.

Zheng Liu pointed at Huang Wanzhen and said, "This is Yusang's wife. We got married in the twelfth month of the lunar year before last."

The young man stood up and said with a smile, "Then I should call you sister-in-law."

Then he greeted Huang Wanzhen, "Hello, sister-in-law. I am Yusang's classmate, my name is Zhu Tingzhou."
