Chapter 385: The Real Murderer Behind the Scenes
"You've caused enough trouble to your aunt lately!"
"Do you have to wait until your aunt is divorced because of you before you will be satisfied?"
Zhuang Hui's face suddenly turned extremely pale.
She was trembling all over, staring at Xiao, and even subconsciously grabbed Xiao's arm, "What do you mean, what happened to mother!"
Xiao suddenly shook her hand away.
Zhuang Hui was unable to stand and fell to the ground.
Xiao looked at her coldly, "What else can happen?"
"It's because of you that my aunt has been scolded by my uncle recently. Last time, my aunt protected you and didn't want you to be a concubine. This matter was brought to my uncle, and he scolded her severely."
"My aunt is very hard on herself, but she is very kind to you."
Xiao grabbed Zhuang Hui's arm, her eyes cold, and clamped her as she tried to rush out, "Why are you leaving?"
"You still want to ask your aunt? You know that your aunt won't tell you the truth, but you still want to make a fuss on purpose and cause more trouble for her!"
"Zhuang Hui, can you please be a decent person and stop implicating the people around you again and again? Do you really have to force your aunt to death before you're willing to do that? Or do you think it was your aunt's fault that your mother had a difficult birth, so you're taking revenge on her!"
Zhuang Hui could hardly breathe.
But at this time, Xiao had already let go of her hand, pushed her to the ground, and walked away indifferently.
"You're on your own."
…
From that day on, Zhuang Hui became more and more silent.
She became increasingly depressed, and her entire body fell into a state like a dead tree.
The eldest lady was a little worried and sent someone to ask a few questions.
As for the other people in the Zhuang family, they all wished she would die immediately.
Finally, on the third day after Xiao came to her yard, Zhuang Hui seemed to have come out of her depressed mood, and even told the eldest lady that she wanted to go out for a walk, at least to give herself some fresh air.
The eldest lady used to restrict her freedom and never let her go out, for fear that she would cause trouble.
But today, when she heard her say this, the eldest lady didn't say anything, but just nodded.
"Go ahead."
"Just remember to come back soon."
Zhuang Hui smiled and nodded respectfully, "Yes."
She promised the eldest lady that she would come back early.
Unfortunately, she broke her promise.
She shook off the guards and maids and ran to the river alone.
I wanted to jump into the river and commit suicide.
But I never thought that I would meet Su Tan at this time.
Even now, Zhuang Hui's eyes were still filled with bitterness. She looked at Su Tan with a smile, "Master Su, I know I am a disaster. Anyone who stands with me will be implicated by me and will bring misfortune."
"You'd better stay away from me and stop talking to a disaster like me."
"I know you are trying to persuade me for my own good. You want me to live a peaceful and stable life."
But now, Zhuang Hui feels tired of living.
When a person feels that living is a burden and taking a breath consumes his energy, any attempt to persuade him to live well is cruel.
"You are not a disaster."
Su Tan was firm in his attitude and told Zhuang Hui the fact in an almost decisive tone.
Zhuang Hui's face was full of bitterness, and she shook her head at Su Tan, "I know you are trying to persuade me, but you don't have to persuade me anymore."
"I'm not a disaster star, so how could I have encountered so many things? I know someone wants to harm me, but now I can't even figure out who it is."
Perhaps she had once wanted to find out who was behind this.
I also fantasize that if the real murderer is caught one day, all those who have misunderstood her will feel very guilty and apologize to her with tears.
But now, Zhuang Hui is no longer willing to think about these things.
She knew it was all wishful thinking.
She even closed her eyes in pain.
"I'm just thinking now, if they knew I was wronged, knew how much I was wronged, knew I couldn't even survive, would they regret it when they saw my body?"
Or, knowing that she is missing, will the Zhuang family send someone to look for her?
I still felt relieved, and then I thought about announcing her death to the public, so that everyone would be happy.
Su Tan looked at Zhuang Hui quietly.
There are many times when people want to die for just a moment.
After that moment, I no longer had the courage to commit suicide.
But Zhuang Hui is different.
Even if Zhuang Hui was persuaded to stop, she would still find a place where no one else could find her and commit suicide.
The repeated accusations from so many people have made Zhuang Hui decide that the best solution for now is for everyone to be dead.
"But what if I tell you that if you die, no one will grieve for you except those who truly care about you and want you best. No one will even clear your name. You will die with a stigma on your face, and those who truly care about you will feel incredibly guilty and die in depression?"
Zhuang Hui's lips trembled.
Her voice was hoarse, and her throat was full of bitterness. "Master Su, you don't have to persuade me."
"I know."
"I know you mean well."
"But now, I just feel very tired. Who would care about someone like me? You don't have to spend so much time and effort trying to save me, racking your brains to come up with these words to comfort me."
Su Tan just looked at Zhuang Hui calmly.
Looking into the other person's tearful eyes, she asked, "What about your mother?"
"Don't you want your mother either?"
Zhuang Hui paused.
She suddenly looked flustered, lowering her head in sadness and embarrassment. "Mother... I think Mother must also hate me, but because I grew up under her wing, she had to take great pains to take care of me."
"If...if I just die like this, maybe...maybe Mother will be relieved from now on. Her life will become easier. No one will bother her anymore, and she won't have to keep an eye on me all the time."
After being raised by the eldest lady for so many years, the eldest lady rarely smiled at her.
When facing the eldest lady, Zhuang Hui was always trembling with fear.
I was afraid that I would offend the eldest lady.
Su Tan sighed.
"You are so stupid. If she didn't love you, if she didn't care about you at all, why would she speak out to save you when your father and grandmother wanted to kill you, and why wouldn't she stop you from becoming a concubine?"
"Then you believe everything the Xiao family says? Since your father doesn't care about your life or death, why would he blame your mother for you?"
Mr. Zhuang would never quarrel with others for Zhuang Hui.
He just thought it was unnecessary.
He even found it difficult to mention Zhuang Hui.
"Do you know why Xiao and Yan Jin were so jumpy in front of you at the beginning?"
"Could it be that they are really too kindhearted, going to such great lengths to save your life even though they've never spoken to you?"
