"I was wrong to trust him. Two years! Two whole years! I never knew he was such a vicious person."
"Ah Cai, it's my fault for not being able to protect you. If I hadn't done this, not only would I have been forcibly imprisoned by him, but you would have died at his hands as well. It doesn't matter if I die, but what about Cheng'er?"
"Cheng'er is still waiting for me to save him. What have I been doing these past two years?!"
Zhou Shiying held A Cai's blood-stained face in her hands. When she opened her mouth, blood gushed out uncontrollably, dripping onto the ground.
A-Cai cried as she grabbed Zhou Shiying's clothes, shaking her head repeatedly, then nodding.
The pain of her severed tongue contorted A-Cai's face, turning her ashen white. Yet, even so, she did not faint. Instead, she trembled as she raised her head, trying to gesture to Zhou Shiying.
She is innocent.
The Marquis of Pingyang is plotting to harm you.
lady.
Waaaaaah.........
It's good that you know, it's good that you know.
Tears streamed down A-Cai's face, mingling with blood, before she lay dying on the ground.
"Ah Cai... you must live..." Zhou Shiying felt her heart breaking at the sight of the maid's miserable state. The last trace of love she had for the Marquis of Pingyang vanished, replaced entirely by hatred.
"There's no time to spare. We'll be in the capital in two more days. I can't let myself fall into the hands of Emperor Yan. I can't let myself become a bargaining chip to threaten my father without even rescuing Cheng'er."
"Ah Cai, you have to hold on. Once I'm out of danger, I'll come and save you, okay?"
A-Cai blinked her eyes as she cried in response.
She seemed to be saying,
Madam, go in peace. A-Cai will not be a burden to you.
"sorry........"
"Just now, I really wanted to chop him up with a knife, but I can't. I can't act impulsively anymore. I acted too impulsively before, which is why I had such a big fight with Cheng'er."
"He's still suffering in the capital. The only one who can help him now is me, A-Cai. I'm so sorry..."
After venting her grief, Zhou Shiying immediately wiped away her tears.
She gritted her teeth, glanced at the door, her eyes filled with overwhelming resentment and murderous intent.
Marquis of Pingyang!
It is you who are heartless.
You appear affectionate on the surface, but secretly you're having an affair with a maid. Two years of marriage can't even compare to the few benefits Emperor Yan promised you!
Zhou Shiying took a deep breath and calmed herself down several times before finding the hemostatic powder and giving A Cai a simple treatment for her wound. Finally, she lifted A Cai onto the bed.
After doing all this.
Zhou Shiying rummaged through her bag and took out all the silver notes, stuffed them into her clothes, and finally reached out her cold hand to touch her slightly protruding belly.
"There's nothing I'll miss..."
“Zhou Shiying, you need to make a clean break when necessary. You need to be more decisive.”
“What’s the point of keeping a beast’s offspring? He’s obsessed with wealth and glory, and he’s even willing to risk your life and the life of your unborn child. You don’t deserve to keep such a beast who would betray his own family.”
“Cheng’er is still waiting for you to save him. Don’t hesitate. His father’s blood flows in his veins. This blood relationship cannot be severed. You can’t let this child become your weakness.”
"I'm not sad, I'm not sad..."
She had always been the proud and arrogant eldest daughter of the Zhou family. Back then, she couldn't stand Lin Jiaoyun toying with her younger brother's feelings, so she dared to disregard her family's objections and rush into the Lin residence to beat Lin Jiaoyun severely.
Even with no support from their families, they dare to gamble their happiness for the rest of their lives, just to avoid seeing or hearing about it.
Now--
The Zhou family is in great trouble.
My younger brother is in grave danger.
My husband betrayed me.
