Xu Zhizhou covered his face.
Fresh blood kept flowing from between his fingers.
The crimson blood against her snow-white skin was a shocking sight.
Twenty years have passed.
From the day he stepped into Country P, Xu Zhizhou has been trapped on this land.
She didn't expect that her mother-in-law would react so strongly simply by mentioning that she wanted to go back to China.
In a short time.
Xu Zhizhou's eyes immediately reddened, revealing a wronged expression.
She doesn't understand.
She just wanted to go back to China, so why did her mother-in-law react so strongly?
Xu Zhizhou considered rebelling.
But her husband died because of her.
She wouldn't be who she is today without her husband.
so.
She couldn't resist!
She had to live in her husband's place and take good care of Old Mrs. Zheng in his place.
Old Mrs. Zheng's insults towards Xu Zhizhou continued. She walked up to Xu Zhizhou and began punching and kicking him, crying out angrily, "You jinx! It's all your fault! You killed my son! If it weren't for you, my son wouldn't be dead!"
"Why was it Xiangqian who died?!"
"You killed my son, and now you want to go back to China to find some other man!"
“Mom, you’ve misunderstood,” Xu Zhizhou explained, “I’ve never thought about going to see other men…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Old Mrs. Zheng interrupted her, "Never thought about finding another man? If you've never thought about going out to find another man, then why are you trying so hard to go back?"
At this point, Old Mrs. Zheng continued, "Don't forget, you're just an orphan! Before you met Xiangqian, you were homeless and didn't even have a home! It was Xiangqian who gave you a home! You're a cursed loner, you don't have a single relative in the country. What else can you do after returning home besides finding some random man to sleep with?"
After that accident.
Xu Zhizhou has forgotten everything, including her relatives and friends. All the memories she has now come from Old Mrs. Zheng.
She learned from Grandma Zheng that she had been an orphan since childhood and that she only had her current life after meeting Zheng Xiangqian.
Therefore, in Xu Zhizhou's mind...
Zheng Xiangqian was not only her husband, but also her benefactor who had given her a second chance at life.
"Why go back to China?" Xu Zhizhou was taken aback. "I don't know, I don't know either..."
She genuinely didn't know.
She didn't even know which city she was going to.
But a voice inside her kept telling her to go back to China, to go back to China!
It's like...
It was as if something important was waiting for her back home.
The answer will be found once we go back.
"Don't know?" Old Mrs. Zheng looked at Xu Zhizhou, her eyes full of malice. "I think you're just bored and want to act horny!"
"No, no," Xu Zhizhou shook his head. "Mom, I'm not!"
Old Mrs. Zheng sneered, "No? You slut! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking! You can't hold on anymore? Let me tell you, as long as I'm here, you're not going back! You have to stay here and guard this place! Until you die!"
As she finished speaking, Mrs. Zheng became so emotional that she couldn't catch her breath and collapsed backward.
"mom!"
Xu Zhizhou and the maid immediately helped Old Madam Zheng up.
"Quick, get the nitroglycerin pills."
Mrs. Zheng has a history of heart disease and cannot tolerate stress; she was really angered today.
Fortunately, the castle always kept quick-acting heart medicine on hand.
But today, after taking a quick-acting heart medicine, Mrs. Zheng still showed no signs of waking up.
Seeing the unconscious Grandma Zheng, Xu Zhizhou could no longer hold back her tears, crying, "I'm not going back, Mom, I'll never say I want to go back again! Please don't let anything happen to you! You absolutely can't let anything happen to you!"
If anything were to happen to Grandma Zheng because of her, she would feel terribly guilty.
Her husband had died because of her.
My mother-in-law can't have any more problems.
The family doctor arrived quickly.
Grandma Zheng was helped to bed.
After a thorough examination, the family doctor, Tina, smiled and said, "Mrs. Zheng, you don't need to worry. The old lady is fine; she just fainted temporarily."
Hearing this, Xu Zhizhou breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."
Tina closed the first-aid kit and continued, "Let me treat the wounds on your face."
Xu Zhizhou raised her hand to touch her face, only then realizing that the wound on her face had already scabbed over. She nodded, "Thank you for your help, Dr. Tina."
"It's what I should do." Tina opened the first-aid kit, took out disinfection tools, and first disinfected Xu Zhizhou's face. "How did you get this? The wound is so deep?"
I thought it was just a scratch.
I never expected this.
If the wound were deeper, you would see the bone.
Hearing this, Xu Zhizhou smiled and said, "I accidentally tripped and fell."
Did you trip and fall?
What happens when you fall down?
Tina glanced at Old Mrs. Zheng lying on the bed.
No need to think about it.
It must be another masterpiece by Old Mrs. Zheng.
Tina has been working in the castle for over three years and has some understanding of the Zheng family's affairs.
She knew.
Xu Zhizhou is a woman who has had a very difficult life.
She has been a widow for over twenty years, has no children, and has a rigid and eccentric mother-in-law.
Tina was a little confused.
What could possibly make a woman willingly remain a widow for so many years, enduring such torment from an old witch?
But this was a matter for the host family, and Tina, being a doctor, couldn't ask too many questions. "Mrs. Zheng, I'm going to clean your wound now. It might hurt a bit, so please bear with it."
"Okay." Xu Zhizhou nodded.
The cleaning process was indeed very painful, lasting for seven or eight minutes.
But Xu Zhizhou remained completely silent, without even flinching.
