After several silver needles were inserted, Aunt Li was in so much pain that she tried to struggle, but her arms were held down tightly by the two old women, and cold sweat poured down her forehead from the pain!
"Mother, I can definitely handle this, please don't hit me!" Aunt Li begged loudly, but the old lady of the Li family continued to prick Aunt Li's body with silver needles. Her fierce expression made it seem like she was facing an enemy.
"You useless thing, Li Yaohua, you've been married for so many years and you still haven't managed to win over your man!"
"Is this all the status you have in the Zhou family? You can't even say a word?"
"It's one thing for you not to properly please your husband at home, but you've even harmed your brother and nephew! How are they supposed to hold their heads high in the capital after this?"
The more Madam Li spoke, the angrier she became, and the harder she hit him.
Aunt Li was trembling all over in pain; she tried to break free but couldn't move at all.
"Mom, I was wrong. I'll listen to you from now on. Please don't stab me anymore!"
"I will definitely beg Zhou Jun for help!"
Please!
Aunt Li's cries were pitiful, but the old lady of the Li family did not stop.
"Young Master Zhou, please don't come in!"
Suddenly a cry of surprise came from outside, and a figure rushed in.
Seeing the old lady of the Li family forcefully stabbing Aunt Li with a silver needle, Zhou Jun's face turned cold. He pulled away the two old women who were controlling her with one hand and threw them away forcefully.
The two old women were completely unprepared and fell to the ground with a thud, each taking several steps back.
He was in so much pain that he kept crying out in pain on the ground.
The old lady of the Li family was also stunned, the needle in her hand still stuck in Aunt Li's body.
Zhou Jun's face turned cold. He snatched the silver needle and stabbed it into the old lady of the Li family.
Several needles were inserted, causing the old lady of the Li family to cry out in pain.
Aunt Li was almost fainting from the pain when the sudden turn of events left her stunned.
When he came to his senses, Zhou Jun had already pulled him up.
"Ouch, that hurts so much! You're rebelling! You're rebelling!"
The old lady of the Li family cried out in pain; at her age, this was the first time she had ever been pricked with acupuncture needles.
She hadn't felt much pain when she used to prick people, but now she felt pain all over her body.
It turned out that being stabbed was not a pleasant experience. The old lady glared at Zhou Jun, her eyes filled with malice: "You little beast, I am your maternal grandmother!"
Zhou Jun gave her a cold look, then raised his hand and pulled out the silver needles from Aunt Li, who was kneeling on the ground, and threw them at the old lady of the Li family.
Madam Li was startled and turned to dodge, but she was supported by her old woman. Before the old woman could react, she took a step back but did not move. The silver needle hit her body with a whoosh, causing her to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.
"You! Let go!" Old Madam Li was furious. The old woman was also startled and hurriedly let go. As a result, Old Madam Li slapped her across the face. The sound of the slap was particularly crisp.
"Ah!" The old woman cried out in pain.
Zhou Jun had already helped Aunt Li up: "Are you leaving now or staying here?"
Zhou Jun's voice was cold, and his expression was inscrutable.
Aunt Li was stunned for a moment; she was in pain all over her body.
"Li Yaohua! Don't forget you're my daughter!"
The old lady of the Li family was also frightened. Zhou Jun's expression was unfriendly when he rushed over. She had originally wanted to use her status to intimidate Zhou Jun, but seeing his expression...
Let's forget about it. This man doesn't look like someone you can easily talk to.
She was just an old lady from the inner quarters, while Zhou Jun had been making his way in the world for the past few years, and his aura was something that an old lady like her could not match.
Compared to Zhou Jun, Aunt Li is definitely easier to deal with.
Aunt Li shrank her neck and looked up, but her hair was a little messy, the tear stains on her face were still wet, and her eyes were red and swollen, showing that she had just cried quite a lot.
“I… Zhou Jun, I know you’re a good kid. She’s still your grandmother, how could you…”
Before Aunt Li could finish speaking, Zhou Jun abruptly released her arm, his voice even colder: "So you're still going to stay here?"
"Even if she pricks you with needles and uses so-called family discipline on you, you still choose to stay here?"
Aunt Li shook her head, then reached out and grabbed Zhou Jun's sleeve, her voice filled with unspeakable humility: "Zhou Jun, but they are, after all, your maternal grandparents' family!"
"Maybe your grandmother did some things wrong sometimes, but she was essentially doing it for our own good! We're family, she would never do anything to betray you!"
Hearing this, Zhou Jun sneered: "So you've decided to stay after all?"
Aunt Li shook her head: "I don't want to stay, but I hope you can consider your uncle and cousin's situation!"
Madam Li hurriedly added, "That's right, Zhou Jun, you have to trust your uncle and cousin. They're doing this for your own good; they wouldn't harm you!"
Zhou Jun's expression turned cold: "No need!"
"I came to save you because you are my mother. If you can sever ties with the Li family, you will still be my mother and the lady of the Zhou family. But if you continue to protect them, then you can stay here and live with them!"
"As for their good intentions towards me, I'm not a three-year-old. Do you really think I don't know what they've done? Before, because of our family ties and my mother's sake, I turned a blind eye. But now that I've fired them, don't even think about bringing them back!"
After Zhou Jun finished speaking, he shook off Aunt Li's hand and asked, "Are you coming with me or staying here?"
Aunt Li looked troubled. She turned to look pitifully at the old lady of the Li family. The old lady of the Li family was so angry that her face turned white. Her raised hand trembled. In the end, her eyes rolled back and she fell to the ground with a thud.
"Mother..." Aunt Li cried out and rushed over.
Seeing Aunt Li rushing over in a panic, Zhou Jun's eyes darkened. Without hesitation, she turned and left.
I was just overthinking it!
His mother still hasn't repented. Hasn't she noticed that the Li family members are all using her, and when they need something from her, their attitude is incredibly polite?
But once Aunt Li is no longer of any use, what kind of faces will the whole Li family have? Doesn't his mother have any idea?
I never imagined that my trip would be in vain.
"Doctor, hurry and find a doctor!" Aunt Li was extremely anxious, and the servants also rushed out to find someone. After the doctor came and took the pulse of the old lady of the Li family, he heard that the old lady was fine, but was just a little upset. Aunt Li was relieved.
She turned to look for her son, wanting to explain things to him, only to find that Zhou Jun had already left sometime earlier.
"Where's Zhou Jun?" Aunt Li asked anxiously. An old woman timidly replied, "He left a long time ago. He left just now when the old lady fainted!"
