Chapter 161 Only one of the mother and daughter can survive, how to choose?
In the corner, Chu Nanxin sat there in a daze, his eyes empty, staring straight ahead, like a puppet with its soul hollowed out.
Chu Ruohan withdrew her gaze and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Mrs. Fang, Chu Ang's whereabouts are unknown, and you can't explain who his master is. How can I trust you?"
Aunt Fang was so anxious that her knees moved forward. "Miss, everything I said is true! I swear to God, every word is true."
"Chu Ang... he was indeed instructed by someone, but I really only know that there is someone above him, but I can't find out who that person is."
"My mother and I have come to this point. How dare we lie to you? Please forgive me!"
Fine beads of sweat oozed from Aunt Fang's forehead, and her voice was full of earnestness and anxiety, for she was afraid that Chu Ruohan would not believe her.
"Um."
Seeing Chu Ruohan nodded thoughtfully, Aunt Fang was happy, but then she heard her say.
"Only one of you can survive. Make your choice." The voice was as cold as ice.
She raised her chin slightly, motioning Aunt Fang to look at Chu Nanxin, her eyes full of teasing and amusement.
The blood drained from Aunt Fang's face in an instant, turning it as pale as paper.
Her eyes moved back and forth between Chu Ruohan and Chu Nanxin, her hands unconsciously clenching the corners of her clothes, her fingertips turning white from the force.
When Chu Nanxin heard this, there was finally a hint of fluctuation in his empty eyes. He slowly raised his head, looked at Chu Ruohan, and then turned his gaze to Aunt Fang.
She opened her mouth but said nothing.
Also waiting for Aunt Fang...
Chu Ruohan crossed her arms and waited quietly, without a trace of pity in her eyes.
Aunt Fang's breathing became rapid, a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes, and then she slowly closed her eyes.
"Nanxin, I'm sorry. I want to live, I don't want to die yet..."
Chu Nanxin smiled silently. She was not surprised by this result.
The mother who always seemed to love her gave up on her so easily at the critical moment of life and death.
"It seems that the answer has been found."
Chu Ruohan felt a little sympathy for Chu Nanxin at this moment. In her previous life, her parents were willing to sacrifice their lives to save her from prison.
But Aunt Fang, who is also a mother, just wants to survive.
The white and slender hand casually raised, and the servant guarding the prison door immediately understood. With a "creak", the prison door slowly opened.
"Madam Fang, you can go out now."
Aunt Fang felt as if she had been pardoned. Her legs had already become numb from kneeling for so long and from the fear, and she crawled towards the prison door.
"mother……"
Chu Nanxin's voice came from behind, the voice was broken and desperate.
This call was like an invisible rope that tightly strangled Aunt Fang's heart.
Aunt Fang's steps suddenly stopped, and her hands unconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes.
She knew that this "mother" was Chu Nanxin's last attachment to her, but when she thought of the upcoming freedom and hope of life.
She gritted her teeth, and the guilt in her heart was instantly swallowed up by the desire to survive.
She didn't dare look back. Even a glance could cause the psychological defense she had just built to completely collapse.
Her heart was beating like thunder and she quickened her pace in panic, wanting only to escape from this horrible place as quickly as possible and escape from Chu Nanxin's gaze that made her feel guilty.
Chu Ruohan heard the murmurs in Chu Nanxin's mouth.
She said: In my next life, I don’t want to be your daughter anymore…
Aunt Fang came out of the dungeon and headed straight for her own yard, but was stopped outside the door by the servants.
"Get out of the way!" Aunt Fang was anxious and angry, her voice rose a few notches, she took some silver and quickly left the Chu family.
The servant did not move.
"I'm just going in to get some stuff."
Most of her savings are in this yard.
If I leave the Chu family without money, I will not be able to survive in the future.
Chu Ruohan walked over slowly. "All the things here belong to the Chu family. They should have nothing to do with Aunt Fang."
"Everything in the room is my private property." Aunt Fang became anxious when she heard this and argued loudly.
"Wasn't it bought with the Chu family's money?"
Chu Ruohan asked back slowly, her eyes full of sarcasm. She raised her head slightly, and her condescending attitude made Aunt Fang feel extremely humiliated.
She was suddenly speechless, pursed her lips again and again, and took a deep breath. She knew in her heart that she might not be able to take those things away today.
He was also afraid that if he angered Chu Ruohan again, she would go back on her promise to let him go, so he could only suppress his resentment.
She gritted her teeth and turned to leave, but after taking a few steps, she was stopped by Chu Ruohan again.
"Madam Fang, I forgot some things and didn't take them with me."
Aunt Fang looked back in confusion. What did Chu Ruohan want to do again?
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Fangruo pushing a wheelchair slowly towards me. Xiangxiang was sitting on it. Her leg was broken and she looked weak and miserable.
Chu Ruohan promised to spare Xiangxiang's life.
But she had done so many evil things, her hands were stained with blood, and she had broken her legs, so that she could not stand up again for the rest of her life, and even had to rely on others for a normal life.
I can only live like this, barely surviving, as a way of atonement.
"These two people are Aunt Fang's confidants. They have done so many things for you. Since you are leaving, how can you not take them with you?" Chu Ruohan looked at Aunt Fang with a smile.
Aunt Fang looked at Xiangxiang sitting in the wheelchair, and a hint of pleasure flashed through her heart. This bitch betrayed her and now her legs were broken by Chu Ruohan. She really deserved it.
She was pregnant, so she could take Fangruo with her. She could also take care of herself and do some rough work.
She still wants to have a child and keep a son to provide for her in her old age!
As for Xiangxiang, what does she want with a cripple...
"Fangruo will naturally come with me," Aunt Fang paused, pointed her finger at Xiangxiang mercilessly, "She has already betrayed me and is no longer mine."
Xiangxiang's eyes instantly turned sinister. She had been with Aunt Fang for so many years, so she naturally knew what kind of person she was...
Seeing Fang Ruo standing there motionless, Aunt Fang couldn't help but frown and urged impatiently, "Come here quickly."
Before Chu Ruohan said anything, Fang Ruo dared not move. She could only lower her head and stand there trembling.
Aunt Fang couldn't help but walk forward to pull Fangruo, but the moment she got close, Xiangxiang suddenly attacked, strangling her neck tightly, with madness flashing in her eyes.
"I've done so many dirty things for you, and now you want to abandon me, how can it be so easy?"
Aunt Fang never thought that Xiangxiang would suddenly attack.
His face turned red and his eyes widened from being pinched. He tried desperately to pry Xiangxiang's hands free but was powerless, and he made indistinct cries for help.
Chu Ruohan stood aside, watching them fight with great interest...
After a moment, she seemed to have had enough of the chaos. She waved her hand lazily and uttered a few words lightly: "Throw them out."
Following Chu Ruohan's order, several servants immediately pulled them apart and dragged them out...
