A sentence that flashed into her mind brought tears to Zhou Shiying's eyes. She bit her pale lips tightly, silently weeping as she looked at Zhou Cheng with deep emotion: "Cheng'er..."
"It's been two years."
"It was my fault, my fault."
"I'm so sorry. I was too impulsive and stubborn back then. I'm so sorry, Cheng'er..."
As if all her strength had been drained, Zhou Shiying collapsed weakly onto the floor.
She had intended to rush forward and hug Zhou Cheng as she always had, wanting to ask him how he had been these past two years, to see if he had lost weight. But Zhou Shiying found that she...
She didn't even have the courage to open her arms.
The shame and self-reproach in her heart shattered all of Zhou Shiying's thoughts.
"Big sister."
Seeing his once straightforward and frank older sister become so cautious, Zhou Cheng felt a little uncomfortable.
He stepped forward and wiped away the tears on Zhou Shiying's face with his sleeve.
It must have been from touching the palm print on her face that Zhou Shiying hissed softly in pain.
Zhou Cheng paused for a second, then gently hugged Zhou Shiying, suppressing his anger and soothing her, "Were these injuries inflicted by Marquis Pingyang?"
"It's alright, it's alright, Cheng'er. Big sister doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt..." Zhou Shiying felt her younger brother's embrace, which showed no resentment, and her nose stung with tears. She raised her hand, but then put it down again.
"After learning that you had arrived in Yancheng, Marquis Pingyang abandoned me and fled alone with two hundred elite soldiers."
"Cheng'er, go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me, I'm fine."
fine?
How could nothing be wrong!
On the way there, Zhou Cheng learned that Zhou Shiying had sacrificed her unborn child to escape the clutches of Marquis Pingyang.
They used the incident of losing their property to gain an opportunity to escape.
She had just injured herself, but that very night she recklessly escaped, traveling several miles, even planning to go to the capital to rescue him... After being captured and brought back, she was brutally beaten by the Marquis of Pingyang.
Zhou Cheng vowed to avenge this wrong!
"Big sister, your fourth brother has grown up. You don't need to pretend to be strong anymore."
“I know you’re in pain. I’ve already sent someone to fetch a doctor. Don’t worry, the Marquis of Pingyang can’t escape. I’ve sent people to investigate his escape route. He only has two paths to take.”
"It's nothing more than the capital and Pingyang."
"Only these two paths will give him a chance to escape my pursuit. If he goes to the capital, he will surely fall into the hands of the Black Dragon. The Black Dragon has been guarding the vicinity of the capital, just waiting to intercept the Marquis of Pingyang."
"If he escapes back to Pingyang City, I will lead my men to take over his territory!"
Zhou Shiying listened to her younger brother's plan and nodded repeatedly.
Waves of cramping pain shot through her abdomen, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat. But in order not to worry Zhou, she forced a reassuring smile that said, "I'm fine."
My head is getting increasingly dizzy.
My vision started to go black.
Zhou Shiying bit her tongue and reached out to grab Zhou Cheng's wrist.
She moved her lips, wanting to ask Zhou Cheng if he still blamed her before she lost consciousness from the pain... But the words caught in her throat, and she realized she was asking a stupid question! How could he not blame her?
"Back then, about Lin Jiaoyun... I, Cheng'er..."
Zhou Cheng interrupted Zhou Shiying's intermittent words: "Eldest sister."
This matter has always been a knot in Zhou Shiying's heart.
