Chapter 51 Your Highness, Prince Jin, It’s Your Turn to Speak
The beast said to her with a grin, "What should I do? I feel like I've fallen in love with your body... I've been thinking about you a lot these past few days. Why don't you just come with me?"
The girl wanted to resist, but just like last time, she was too weak to push him away. When he lunged at her, she bit his shoulder angrily.
The result was a beating from the man that left her unconscious.
She didn't wake up until he had vented his animal desires.
Zheng Shirong said to her fiercely, "I've already found out everything about your parents. They go to the capital every morning to set up a stall and buy goods, and they only come back in the evening. If they encounter a bandit on the way, or accidentally fall into the river while crossing, what do you think will happen?"
The girl cried and begged him, "Please don't hurt my parents, don't hurt them, please..."
Zheng Shirong stroked her cheek, his movements as gentle as if he were playing with a pet. "That depends on how well you behave. As long as you're obedient, I promise that your parents will be safe and sound, and live a long life!"
Over the next three or four months, Zheng Shirong would come over at regular intervals. He was cunning and never left wounds on Wang Linger's face, only tormenting her body.
After three or four months, he finally got tired of it and gradually stopped coming.
Wang Linger was young and ignorant of the ways of the world, and her parents were busy from dawn to dusk every day and didn't pay enough attention to her, so she didn't even know she was pregnant.
It was not until the baby was older and the belly could no longer be hidden that the parents discovered it.
But her father's first reaction was to blame his daughter for being indecent. He slapped her and forced her to tell him who the man was.
Wang Linger didn't dare to say anything and just kept crying.
The Wang family originally wanted to have an abortion, but the baby was already advanced in term and abortion might endanger the mother's life.
Although the Wang family was helpless, she was their only daughter after all and they couldn't bear to see her die, so they decided to give birth to the child first.
Who knew that Zheng Shirong would find out about this? He summoned Wang Linger to his boat and questioned her, "You're keeping your pregnancy a secret. Are you hoping to gain status by having a child? You're just a lowly village girl. Even if you give birth, it'll be a bastard and can't enter our Zheng family!"
"The child must be aborted. This young master's eldest son can only be born of a legitimate wife. Otherwise, if the news gets out, it will affect the marriage proposal."
Wang Linger said timidly, "I don't want to enter your house, and I don't want to see you again. As long as you don't come to find me, I will never appear in front of you!"
Zheng Shirong didn't believe her. "Then why are you still carrying this bastard in your belly? Our Zheng family is a distinguished and prestigious family. This young master's eldest son must come from your womb. You are not qualified! Even if you are pregnant, the child is not worthy of being born!"
Wang Linger said with tears in her eyes, "But the doctor said that the baby is too old and if we remove it, it will easily lead to two deaths."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Listen carefully, if the evil child in your belly is still there after three days, your parents will be in trouble!"
"Master Zheng!" Wang Linger knelt down, hugged his legs and begged desperately, "Master, please give me a way to live, I really don't want to die! My father scolded me and beat me, but I didn't tell him your identity. I promise not to say anything nonsense in the future, and make sure no one knows it's your child. I beg you, please let me give birth to him, please give me a way to live!"
"Get out of here, bitch! Your tears and snot have stained my brocade boots! Do you know how expensive these boots are? Get out!"
Zheng Shirong kicked him, but in anger he failed to control his strength and kicked the man into the river.
Wang Linger couldn't swim, so she stretched out her hands and struggled wildly.
Zheng Shirong only glanced at him indifferently and told the boatman: "Start the boat, go."
If a woman who is too boring to play with dies, it will save you a lot of trouble.
Wang Linger watched helplessly in the water as the man and the boat gradually drifted away, with only the cold river water mercilessly filling her mouth and nose.
She hates it so much!
Why can the nobles be so high and mighty and act lawless?
Why was I born so humble that I don’t even have the chance to survive?
Why, why...
The strong obsession became a bondage that trapped her at the bottom of the river, making it impossible for her to escape.
While she hated Zheng Shirong, she also knew clearly that she and her family could not do anything to the murderer alone.
The only way is to have a backer of higher status to help redress one's grievances.
Since she was a child, her parents have instilled in her the idea that men are women's supporters and that only by marrying a good man can she live a good life in the future.
During her lifetime, she no longer dared to hope that a good man would marry a brokenhearted woman like her.
But after death, reason disappears, and only obsession remains. So, her obsession is to marry a noble man, a nobleman of higher status than the Zheng family...
Thus, Dongfang Yan was plotted against by Lin Qingyue and became her husband.
However, Lin Qingyue was unaware of the reasons for these obsessions in the first place, and she only plotted against Dongfang Yan out of a desire to play a trick on him.
But when she saw everything Wang Linger had suffered through Zheng Shirong's memory, she suddenly understood her obsession.
Just like the last time at the Lin family, Zheng Shirong's memory was also projected by Lin Qingyue with a mirage spell.
Seeing his son's actions, which were worse than those of pigs and dogs, County Magistrate Zheng's first reaction was disbelief, and he subconsciously helped to cover up:
"Impossible! My son would never do such a ridiculous thing! With so many maids at home, there's no reason for him to do evil outside! This is a misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding!"
"Evil creature! You said it yourself!" He kicked his son hard again.
When Zheng Shirong was being recalled from his dream just now, he was in a daze. Now he was kicked awake by his father and he didn't know what happened. He just thought he could rely on his one-sided story to put all the problems on Wang Linger.
"I'm sorry, Dad. I didn't expect Wang Ling'er to be so greedy and set her sights on my position as my legal wife. I really lost control at the time and was seduced by her. Now that I think about it, she must have planned everything all along!"
He burst into tears in front of everyone.
But secretly, I was thinking: Every time I went to see Wang Ling'er, I was careful to avoid people. And Wang Ling'er was threatened by me and didn't even dare to tell her parents. So, no one knew what I did!
Lin Qingyue sneered coldly, "I finally understand why Wang Ling'er endured this humiliation, yet she kept silent about it, not even daring to tell her parents. Even if she did, even if Wang's parents filed a complaint, with their lowly status and meager strength, they truly couldn't defeat you!"
"Fortunately, things are different now. Wang Linger now has someone to rely on. Your Highness, Prince Jin, it's your turn to speak."
Lin Qingyue pushed the matter onto Dongfang Yan, after all, he was Wang Linger's husband.
