Chapter 24: Can't Be So Selfish
Zhou Ying was slightly stunned. Zheng'er didn't say anything just now, so why did she hear Zheng'er's voice?
Could it be that she has been in a trance recently and started to have auditory hallucinations?
Zhou Ying shook her head to get rid of those strange thoughts.
She looked at Chen Huazheng, her eyes full of tenderness. "Zheng'er, give me the bowl."
In Zhou Ying's mind, Chen Huazheng will always be her most beloved little cousin. When she learned that Chen Huazheng had regained consciousness, Zhou Ying, like the rest of the Zhou family, was so happy that she did not sleep all night.
Now that she saw that Chen Huazheng cared about her and even cooked for her, Zhou Ying was deeply moved.
Chen Huazheng looked at Zhou Ying and cooperatively handed the porcelain bowl to her.
[If my cousin likes desserts, I can also make her double skin milk, taro sago, mango sago, taro candied fruit...]
Zhou Ying:!!!
This time she heard it very clearly, it was definitely not an auditory hallucination!
Moreover, this is clearly the sound of Zheng'er.
But Zheng'er didn't say anything, so why did she hear those voices?
*
Zhou Ying suddenly thought of all the strange and bizarre scripts she had seen before, and connected together a series of events that had happened to Shen Huazheng.
An idea suddenly popped into Zhou Ying's mind. Maybe she wasn't hallucinating just now, but she heard Zheng'er's inner voice.
But why could she hear Zheng'er's thoughts? Was it because of their blood relationship?
Besides her, can her uncle, aunt, and father also hear it?
Zhou Ying decided to find an opportunity to test the attitude of Zhou Cheng'an and Old Madam Zhou. If only she could hear Shen Huazheng's inner thoughts, she would keep this secret for the rest of her life and not let anyone know.
Cousin Ying, don't worry." Seeing Zhou Ying holding the porcelain bowl in a daze, Chen Huazheng added: "After adding ginger to the milk, there is no fishy smell at all."
After heating, milk will have some milky smell, but after adding ginger, that milky smell will disappear.
"Okay," Zhou Ying came back to her senses and suppressed her inner shock. "Cousin, I'll try it now."
She lowered her head and only then could she see clearly what was in the porcelain bowl.
Ginger milk looks like tofu pudding, with white, soft and elastic milk skin swaying from side to side, which looks very cute.
Just a light touch with a spoon will leave a mark on it.
Facing a bowl of intact ginger milk, Zhou Ying couldn't bear to scoop it open with a spoon.
But after looking at Shen Huazheng's hopeful eyes, Zhou Ying still exerted a little force, scooped up a spoonful of tender white jelly, and put it into her mouth.
The ginger milk is smooth and tender, it breaks into pieces when the teeth lightly touch it, and slides smoothly down the throat into the stomach.
The first thing you taste is a smooth milky aroma that is sweet with a slight spicy kick, combining the smoothness of milk and the spiciness of ginger.
Zhou Ying widened her eyes slightly and started eating spoonful after spoonful.
This dessert combines the smoothness of milk and the spiciness of ginger, and the two are blended just right, making the taste particularly wonderful.
The warm current spread along the throat to the stomach, and the whole body became warm. The pain in the abdomen almost disappeared, and the body that had been tense also relaxed.
Chen Huazheng took the empty bowl from Zhou Ying and put it on the table. "Cousin Ying, how do you feel?"
"Ginger milk is delicious," Zhou Ying said with a soft curve at the corner of her lips and a gentle look in her eyes.
"My stomach doesn't hurt anymore. Zheng'er, thank you."
For some reason, after eating the ginger milk, Zhou Ying suddenly thought of the ginger candy her mother made for her when she was a child.
A warm and familiar feeling lingered in her heart, making her feel fulfilled and at peace.
Chen Huazheng smiled gently, "What's there to thank me for? If you like it, I will cook it for you every day in the future."
[My cousin is in poor health. I will make her some lotus seed egg tea in a few days. She will take good care of herself and won’t feel so much pain in the future.]
Zhou Ying felt warm in her heart and grabbed Shen Huazheng's hand.
"Zheng'er, you're so nice."
Chen Huazheng: "Cousin Ying, grandparents, my mother, and my uncle, we all care about you. You can tell us if you have any grievances or difficulties. You don't have to bear it all by yourself."
She looked at Zhou Ying, whose complexion had recovered a little, and suddenly felt a little sad.
Old Master Zhou believed that having a strong physique was very important, so he specially invited a martial arts master to teach his children.
In addition to studying literature, the Zhou family's children also have to practice martial arts every day.
Zhou Ying also studied with her brothers since she was young. She was extremely talented in martial arts, and her martial arts and sword skills were no weaker than those of men. She was praised by her martial arts masters many times.
In the original owner's mind, Zhou Ying has always been the heroic and flamboyant cousin Ying.
Zhou Ying gave Song Zhichen her best years and all her love, but all she got in return was a weak body and a depressed personality.
I think she must regret the choice she made back then.
It was very difficult for women in ancient times to get a divorce, and there were many things to consider.
They often have to face pressure from all sides, and sometimes even their own families may face resistance.
But Zhou Ying’s situation is different. Everyone in the Zhou family is on her side.
As long as she wants to divorce, the Zhou family will help her escape from the Weiguo Mansion and get rid of her identity as Madam Song at all costs.
But now it seems that Zhou Ying still has concerns in his heart.
Even at this point, she was still unwilling to divorce Song Zhichen, and it was probably not just for Song Ye.
Chen Huazheng poured a glass of water for Zhou Ying, "Cousin Ying, tell me what you really think in your heart. Do you really want to continue staying in the Duke of Wei's Mansion?"
Zhou Ying looked lonely and took a sip from the teacup.
"Zheng'er, I know you are all thinking about me, but I can't be so selfish and only think about myself. If I really divorce Song Zhichen, the Zhou family will also be affected."
If Song Zhichen behaves in a disorderly manner, the Duke of Weiguo will stand on Zhou Ying's side and pressure Song Zhichen, preventing him from bringing Na Ru Niang into the Duke's Mansion.
But if Zhou Ying proposed a divorce, the Duke of Wei would definitely not agree.
As for Song Zhichen, after all these years, Zhou Ying still understands him.
He now seems very determined to take Naruniang as his concubine and seems willing to pay any price.
But if it really comes to the point of divorce, Song Zhichen will definitely not be willing to do so.
If she insisted on getting a divorce and the Duke of Weiguo refused to let go, it would definitely cause trouble for the Zhou family.
"Besides, it doesn't matter where I live now."
Anyway, life goes on the same way. If you don't have expectations, you won't be disappointed.
This is also good.
Shen Huazheng frowned slightly, she was apparently fine just now.
But whenever the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion and Song Zhichen were mentioned, Zhou Ying looked disheartened and as if he had lost everything.
Chen Huazheng: "Cousin Ying, have you ever thought that compared to those empty things, we hope that you can live safely and happily."
