After a pause, Xia Wanjun continued:
“At that time, I was thinking, I should leave the prison first.
Only by leaving there will I have a chance to find evidence and rescue our family.
I think so, but my grandfather, my father and my mother said that as long as I live well, it will be fine.
Two months after I was released from prison, no useful evidence was found, and my entire family was executed.
At that time, I fainted for a while, and when I woke up, my father and his family had already been buried by people arranged by Zuo Yanfeng."
"Later, I realized that the Zuo family was not a good family.
The reason why Zuo Yanfeng showed up with the marriage certificate was not because he was particularly affectionate.
Rather, my mother realized something was wrong before anything happened.
He contacted the Zuo family in advance, and in exchange for half of the Xia family's wealth, he asked them to obtain a marriage certificate from the government, so that they could take me to the Zuo family later.
My mother came from a merchant family and owned many farms and shops. Half of her wealth came from her, so her fortune was immeasurable.
Faced with huge personal benefits, the Zuo family was tempted, and that’s how I became Zuo Yanfeng’s wife.
I was too naive to regard him as my only salvation.
The other half of our family property was confiscated and put into the national treasury during the house raid."
Song Yaoyao did not interrupt Xia Wanjun and just listened quietly.
Xia Wanjun continued:
“After learning that my father and his family had died, I fell ill.
During that time, Zuo Yanfeng stayed by my side all the time and took great care of me.
I thought I still had a family.
Two years passed like this, and by chance, I overheard a personal conversation between Zuo Yanfeng and him.
Only then did I realize that Zuo Yanfeng was pretending to be nice to me all these years. He just wanted to get what he wanted from me.
I don't know where Zuo Yu heard from, but my father still has a large sum of property hidden outside, which is managed by his confidants.
I think they are all dead, and I am definitely the only one who knows what it is.
The reason why Zuo Yanfeng was nice to me was because of those properties.
Zuo Yanfeng just wanted me to fall in love with him and be inseparable from him, and then gradually trick me into telling him where the properties were hidden?
When I heard these words, my heart sank to the bottom.
I wanted to leave there secretly, but was discovered by Zuo Yanfeng.
After Zuo Yanfeng and the others were exposed, they stopped pretending completely.
Since then, Zuo Yanfeng has treated me very badly.
It was also at that time that I learned that since the first day I entered the Zuo family, they had put a small amount of red jelly in my food every day, which resulted in me not being able to get pregnant.
The Zuo family never intended for me to give birth to their child from the beginning."
Speaking of children, Xia Wanjun's eyes showed a slight fluctuation.
Then, Xia Wanjun continued:
"In fact, my parents didn't leave any property behind. I told Zuo Yanfeng many times, but he didn't believe it.
He thought I was just stubborn and had been having a good time for too long. He wanted to teach me a lesson and let me know that he was my only support in this world.
At the beginning, the Zuo family removed the maids and old women from my yard, and I had to do everything by myself.
The food they eat is just leftovers.
The Zuo family just wants to use this method to force me to tell them about my family's property. I don't have any property at all, so what do they want me to say?
I endured it all.
I live worse than a servant in the Zuo family.
If I want to divorce, or if Zuo Yanfeng divorces me, that's also possible.
But Zuo Yanfeng said that before he took my relatives' property, it would be a foolish dream for me to leave the Zuo family!
He also said that he would not let me leave.
People outside say that the Zuo family is loyal and righteous. After the Xia family got into trouble, they still treated me, the eldest daughter of the Xia family, very well.
