Chapter 400 Let's leave her with Master He.
Zhou Quan slowly said, "She was seriously injured a few days ago and happened to collapse in front of our shop."
Aunt Tao's face paled, her eyes darted around, and she feigned anger, saying, "Oh my god, which damned bastard actually beat my daughter so badly?!"
Zhou Quan raised his eyes, looking at her sharply, and said coldly, "Isn't Aunt Tao the one who knows best?"
Aunt Tao hurriedly said in a panic, "Nonsense! I am her own mother, how could I possibly be so cruel to her!"
Zhou Quan stared intently at her with a calm gaze.
Stared at by those piercing eyes, she grew increasingly nervous and guilty. "Young Master Zhou, I've always doted on my daughter. Even the slightest bump or bruise on her makes me heartbroken for days. Now that both her legs are broken, wouldn't that be the death of me!"
Zhou Quan's eyes narrowed, and he asked her sternly, "Aunt Tao, how did you know that Tao Yaofang's injury was to her leg?"
Aunt Tao was stunned, her expression growing increasingly panicked. She gritted her teeth and insisted, "You were the one who said that just now."
Zhou Quan sneered, "I only said that she was seriously injured."
Aunt Tao was speechless for a moment.
Tao Meiyu quickly interjected, "Young Master Zhou, my mother must have misheard."
Zhou Quan raised his voice and said, "Oh? You misheard. I think you're just feeling guilty."
Aunt Zhou quickly pulled him aside and asked in a low voice, "Quan'er, is this true? Tao Yaofang was seriously injured by her own mother and sister."
Zhou Quan lowered his voice and replied, "That's right, it's true."
Aunt Zhou's face immediately turned cold.
“Old Tao’s family, you clearly said you didn’t know where your daughter went, but now you know her injury is in her leg. If you tell the truth, our Lord Zhou probably can’t help you.”
Tao Meiyu and Aunt Tao realized they were in the wrong and stopped arguing.
Taking advantage of this moment, they immediately changed the subject, saying, "Mrs. Zhou, we came to see you today because there is something else we want to tell you."
Aunt Zhou looked at them coldly and said impatiently, "What is it?"
Aunt Tao said slowly, "Madam Zhou, didn't your family take a liking to our Tao Yaofang before? There's something I haven't told you yet."
As she spoke, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and she continued, "Actually, our Yaofang has been in poor health since childhood, which has damaged her health, and I'm afraid she will have difficulty conceiving in the future."
Aunt Zhou frowned. "Difficulty conceiving? Aunt Tao, you can't just say things like that."
Aunt Tao said in a sharp voice, "Madam Zhou, do you think I would slander my daughter for something like this? I'm doing this for your own good. I don't want to marry my daughter off to you just to curry favor with your Zhou family."
When Aunt Zhou heard her say that Tao Yaofang couldn't get pregnant, she fell silent. It wasn't that she minded the matter; she just felt heartbroken. What had this little girl gone through at home to cause such serious damage to her body?
Seeing that Aunt Zhou was silent, Aunt Tao thought that she probably wouldn't want Tao Yaofang to marry into the family again, so she softened her voice and said with a smile, "Madam Zhou, the marriage between our family and your family was agreed upon some time ago. It's our fault that our eldest daughter can't get pregnant. Why don't we let my youngest daughter marry into the family in place of her sister, and give your family a few big, fat grandsons?"
Aunt Zhou glared at her and said coldly, "My family has a big, healthy grandson. We don't need your daughter to give us one."
Aunt Tao was speechless for a moment, then turned around and quickly pulled her daughter in front of her, saying, "Look at Meiyu, how beautiful she is, a hundred times better than Yaofang."
"No need to say anything more," Zhou Quan interrupted her coldly.
Aunt Tao smiled and pulled her daughter in front of Zhou Quan, "Young Master Zhou, your mother doesn't mind whether or not you have a big, fat grandson, but you can't be without an heir. My Meiyu is good; she can definitely give you three children in three years."
Zhou Quan said coldly, "Since she's so good, you should leave her with Master He."
