Chapter 321: One Punch Knockdown
The woman knelt on the ground and begged the leader of the guard. Her eyes were red from crying and half of her face was swollen.
He was wearing a ragged suit that barely covered his body, his fingers were frozen purple, and his face was pale.
"Zhou Wan, you still don't understand who's in charge of the Xu family now. You had to drink swill when I told you to. You dared to instigate the servants to help you get food, and this is what you're getting now! Don't you claim to be kind? Today, this girl was implicated by you—"
The long-haired woman who had been sitting upright on the sofa leisurely picked up a slightly reddish apple and sniffed it, admiring Zhou Wan's miserable condition with her peripheral vision and making sarcastic remarks.
Zhou Wan's lowered eyes were filled with uncontrollable shame and hatred, and then she slowly loosened the corner of the black-clad man's clothes.
She knew that no matter how much she begged, the successful Tang Rou would not let her go. This woman had been waiting for this day for too long.
Xiao Lu, who was lying on the ground, was a servant recently recruited by the housekeeper into the Xu family. She was only eighteen years old. She had only been in the Xu family for a few days when she witnessed the miserable abuse of Zhou Wan, the former mistress of the Xu family, by everyone.
In the extremely cold weather, she was not allowed to wear thick clothes and was forced to wash clothes and mop the floor with cold water. Her three meals a day were so harsh that she had to eat from the leftovers of the Xu family.
Every night, Xiao Lu could see Zhou Wan shivering in the doghouse in the yard, staring blankly at her daughter's photo in her hand.
After a few days, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he secretly saved some food from his own rations and gave it to her.
But he didn't expect that he would be caught by the guards before he could deliver it twice, which led to the beating he received today!
One month after the end of the world, Zhou Wan was dethroned as the mistress by Tang Rou, who gained status because of her son. Originally, Xu Zhifang still took into consideration the power of the Zhou family military region and did not bully her excessively.
But as the news spread, her life became more and more difficult as she learned that S City was about to be controlled by the psychic army and the military region's power was declining.
Zhou Wan didn't dare to guess whether her family was still safe. The only thing keeping her going through this humiliation was the safety of her daughter, Xu Shuyao.
She had been carefully accumulating crystal cores for several months, hoping that one day she could post the news of her search for her daughter in the mission hall.
Thinking of this, her chilblained hands trembled as she touched the photo in her side pocket.
Tang Rou watched coldly as Zhou Wan refused to yield despite being beaten and abused, and she felt extremely jealous.
At this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a piece of paper sticking out of Zhou Wan's pocket, her eyes narrowed, and she quickly stepped forward and grabbed it with force!
As soon as she took a look at the thing, Tang Rou burst into laughter.
"Oh! I thought it was some treasure, but it turned out to be your cheap daughter whose body has long been rotting somewhere!"
Zhou Wan's slightly panting breath suddenly stopped, and she raised her head and glared at Tang Rou's ferocious smile.
"You're talking nonsense! Yaoyao must still be alive!"
Tang Rou just casually provoked Zhou Wan, but she didn't expect that she really hit Zhou Wan's fatal weakness. Seeing Zhou Wan's rare collapse, she felt happy!
"It's true that things change over time. Back then, you kept my two children under the label of illegitimate children for more than ten or twenty years. How are they doing now?
Your daughter's remains are hard to find, but one of my children is a superpower who is about to break through to the third level, and the other is the fiancée of an inner sect disciple of Detian Temple. I wonder what you can use to fight me now! Hahaha!"
Tang Rou couldn't contain her seething ecstasy. After laughing, she barked an order at the man in black, "Have that bucket of slop poured down the drain on them both. Do you like being soft-hearted and sharing joys and sorrows? This lady will grant your wish today!"
A group of guards received the order and clamped Zhou Wan and Xiao Lu's hands behind their backs, pressing their faces to the ground.
Xiao Lu looked at the smelly泔水袋 that was pushed in front of him with a pale face.
Leftovers after the end of the world are also extremely precious, so there is nothing edible in the泔水. It is full of bones and rotten scraps that cannot be fished out. It is so smelly that even dogs can't swallow it.
Seeing that Zhou Wan was stubborn and refused to speak, the man in black glared at her and grabbed a large spoon from the bucket. He scooped up a full ladle of the fishy, smelly, and thick juice and threw it at her with all his might!
Just as the spoonful of slop was about to splash onto Zhou Wan's face, a deafening noise suddenly came from outside the gate of the villa!
Next second.
The Xu family's extremely solid iron gate suddenly flew up and hit the outer wall of the villa with a "bang", shaking off a large amount of sharp ice from the eaves.
The slop that flew up in front of Zhou Wan suddenly hung in mid-air for half a second before changing direction and flying straight towards Tang Rou's front door.
"ah!!"
Tang Rou was suddenly doused with thick black slop and screamed in fear, while others subconsciously looked outside.
Seven or eight strange men and women were seen carrying the Xu family's most favored nanny into the courtyard with a terrifying momentum.
When Zhou Wan saw one of the girls clearly, her body suddenly shook violently.
She lay on the ground, staring blankly at the slender figure in front of her wearing a thick scarf.
Those eyebrows, those eyes, that figure!
"Yaoyao!"
The moment Xu Shuyao saw how her mother was treated, she felt like she was struck by lightning, and tears that almost shed blood streamed down her big eyes.
"mom!"
In an instant, she rushed forward almost like a madman, throwing away anyone who blocked her way.
Tang Rou wiped the stinking slop from her eyelids amid the servants' flustered movements. Seeing the nagging girl who had humiliated her countless times when they were young rushing towards her, she immediately shouted, "Stop her!"
Xu Shuyao roared in pain, the adrenaline in her body surged to the highest level, and she knocked down the guard who tried to kick her with a powerful punch!
