Chapter 379: Moonlight
"No!"
Zhuang Hui knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Old Madam Zhuang and Father Zhuang, "I don't want to die!"
"I'm the one who was framed, why should I be the one to die?"
She has always been a gentle and obedient person, and for so many years, she has been an invisible person in the mansion.
This was the first time there was such a fierce resistance.
It was actually to protect his own life.
Father Zhuang slapped her twice in the face.
"At this point, you still have the nerve to beg for mercy here!"
"What's the point of not wanting to die? Even if you don't want to die, you've already ruined your reputation! Now, no one in the entire capital dares to marry you!"
"Zhuang Hui, raising a shameless daughter like you is a disgrace to our entire Zhuang family!"
"You don't want to die? You can't choose not to die!"
Mr. Zhuang's face was gloomy and he had already ordered people to get the white silk and dagger.
Zhuang Hui had no one to turn to for help and was completely desperate.
Just at this moment, someone came from the eldest lady's side.
The nanny beside the eldest lady first bowed respectfully to Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang.
Then she said, "Madam said that the Second Young Miss was raised by her and that she could not escape the blame for committing such a shameful act. She felt that even if the Second Young Miss died, it would not be enough to cover up the scandal."
"The eldest lady said that she has other arrangements for the second young lady. She hopes that the old lady and the master will give the second young lady a chance to live."
Zhuang Hui is an unimportant person to both Mrs. Zhuang and Mr. Zhuang.
Since the eldest lady had other plans, I would naturally follow her.
But the two of them couldn't help but reveal a strange expression.
You should know that the eldest lady has always disliked Zhuang Hui.
Who made Zhuang Hui's mother a vixen?
But who would have thought that now that Zhuang Hui was about to die, the eldest lady actually sent someone out to stop her.
Neither Mrs. Zhuang nor Mr. Zhuang knew what the eldest lady was going to do.
They thought that perhaps the eldest lady was thinking of a better way to torture Zhuang Hui.
Therefore, no one tried to stop her and let the nanny take the person away.
When Zhuang Hui was brought to the eldest lady, she was reading a book with an expressionless face.
When she saw her, the eldest lady looked at her coldly.
"After spending so much time thinking behind closed doors, have you figured anything out?"
Zhuang Hui burst into tears and fell to her knees at the feet of the eldest lady.
"Mother, I am truly innocent. I have never done any of this!"
"I don't know why they framed me like this, but I am really innocent, mother!"
The eldest lady slammed the table hard and threw the book in her hand at Zhuang Hui's face.
"I told you to reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors, and after thinking for so long, you came up with this excuse!"
"Zhuang Hui, you are hopeless. This is the last time I will save you. Our mother-daughter relationship ends here. I will not interfere in your affairs anymore."
"I won't have anyone watching your yard anymore. Do whatever you want. I can't control you anyway."
After saying that, the eldest lady turned around indifferently and had Zhuang Hui taken away.
Zhuang Hui's face turned pale and she desperately called out "Mother, the First Lady."
But the eldest lady never turned back.
Her tears fell to the ground one by one.
The whole person was locked in the room, screaming in pain.
"What on earth did I do wrong!"
“Why do you treat me like this!”
"Mother, why don't you believe me? Why don't you listen to my explanation? Why on earth is this?"
Zhuang Hui couldn't understand.
Just as she couldn't understand why someone would carefully plan such a thing just to ruin her reputation.
Zhuang Hui was trapped in the house alone. Now that she had suddenly fallen out of favor, the maids in her yard were too lazy to pay attention to her. They were all slacking off and no one knew where they had gone to watch the fun.
Therefore, no matter how heartbroken she cried and how hoarse her voice was, no one was willing to pay attention to her.
Just at this moment, there was a gentle knock on her window.
Zhuang Hui was stunned and looked up to open the window.
But I didn't expect to meet someone unexpected here.
"cousin?"
Zhuang Hui looked at him blankly.
Her cousin is a man of good character and has always kept himself clean. Everyone praises her cousin as a gentleman.
She didn't have a deep impression of her cousin.
All I know is that he is the best among the young men in the clan.
The cousin-in-law I married is also gentle and virtuous.
He is famous for his good temper.
That day in the temple, when she was at a loss for words, her cousin's wife spoke up for her.
Zhuang Hui really couldn't figure out what the connection was between herself and her cousin and his wife.
She didn't understand why her cousin would suddenly set foot in such a desolate place in her yard.
"Cousin, you...why are you here suddenly?"
Her cousin frowned at her and sighed slightly.
"I came to see you. I heard there was another commotion in the yard today. I was really worried that you would do something stupid, so I came here quietly."
"Cousin, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, Aunt and Uncle are just angry with you temporarily and won't really take your life."
"You have to pull yourself together. Otherwise, even if you come here to clear your name, if your health breaks down, what good will it do you?"
Zhuang Hui suddenly raised her head and looked at her cousin's gentle face, and her tears suddenly fell again.
"Cousin, do you believe that I am innocent?"
Zhuang Hui stared straight at the gentleman in front of her.
The cousin nodded slowly and gave her a smile.
"I naturally believe that my cousin is innocent."
"Cousin, don't believe a word those people say. They just want to kill you. You must live well."
"I believe my cousin would not do such a shameless thing. You must be innocent."
