Tina was somewhat shocked.
Having worked in the castle for three years, she never knew that this seemingly frail Mrs. Zheng possessed such incredible willpower.
If it were anyone else, they would probably have cried out in pain by now.
But Xu Zhizhou did not.
Suppressing her shock, Tina's eyes filled with even more admiration.
After cleaning the wound, Tina began bandaging it and instructed, "Madam, please be careful to avoid certain foods these days. You cannot eat raw, cold, or spicy foods."
"Okay." Xu Zhizhou nodded.
Tina put away the first-aid kit and then said, "By the way, Madam, you seem to be a little malnourished. You should pay attention to supplementing your diet with more high-quality protein, such as eggs, milk, and lean meat."
Xu Zhizhou said with a smile, "I have been a vegetarian for twenty years."
Tina looked at Xu Zhizhou and said, "Some people are suited to a vegetarian diet, while others are not. In your current condition, it is not suitable for you to continue eating vegetarian food."
Xu Zhizhou had a major accident, so his health wasn't very good to begin with. In recent years, he has been eating a vegetarian diet, which has led to nutritional deficiencies. If this situation isn't addressed, his health will collapse.
"It's nothing." Xu Zhizhou shook his head indifferently.
Over the years, she has gotten used to it.
Moreover, if Grandma Zheng can eat it, then she can naturally eat it too.
Xu Zhizhou turned to look at Grandma Zheng lying on the bed and asked, "Is my mother really alright?"
"Don't worry, the old lady is fine."
Snap!
Just then, the door was pushed open from the outside.
A figure walked in from outside.
The woman was wearing a white trench coat and had exquisite makeup on her face.
This is Zheng Xiangqian's younger sister.
Zheng Xiangrou.
"Xiang Rou, you're back."
"Yes." Zheng Xiangrou nodded, then walked to the bedside. "Mom, are you alright?"
Tina then spoke up, "Miss Xiang Rou, the old lady is fine. She'll be alright after a little rest."
Zheng Xiangrou looked at Tina, "Are you sure?"
“Yes.” Tina packed up her medical kit and looked at Xu Zhizhou. “Madam, I’ll head back now. Just send someone to call me if you need anything.”
"OK."
Tina picked up the first-aid kit and turned to walk out the door.
Almost as soon as Tina left the room, Zheng Xiangrou seemed to have become a different person. She walked up to Xu Zhizhou, raised her hand, and slapped Xu Zhizhou's uninjured side of his face!
Snap!
The slap was very forceful, leaving a clear handprint on Xu Zhizhou's face.
"You bitch! Are you trying to kill my mother?" Zheng Xiangrou said angrily, "Isn't killing my brother enough for you?"
With tears welling up in his eyes, Xu Zhizhou explained, "Xiang Rou, I... I didn't mean to..."
If she had known that simply mentioning wanting to go back would provoke Old Mrs. Zheng to this extent, she would never have brought up going back, even if she were beaten to death.
"I think you did this on purpose! You want to kill my mom so you can go out and find some other man! Shameless slut! If anything happens to my mom today, I'll never forgive you!"
Xu Zhizhou lowered his head, his eyes filled with guilt.
She wanted to explain, but didn't know what to say.
Ultimately, it was she who wronged the Zheng family.
If her husband hadn't died because of her, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Everything started because of her!
She is the source of all evil!
so.
Even if she couldn't stand it, she had to accept the slap her sister-in-law gave her.
If she retaliates, it will only make the family more and more chaotic.
Zheng Xiangrou looked at Xu Zhizhou and continued, "Go kneel! Go kneel in the ancestral hall! Go kneel to atone for my brother's sins!"
"Understood." Xu Zhizhou lowered his head and walked towards the ancestral hall.
I pushed the door open.
The sunlight then shone down on Xu Zhizhou from outside.
It's warm and cozy.
Xu Zhizhou looked up at the sunlight, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.
She turned back to look at Zheng Xiangrou inside the room.
These kinds of days...
When will this finally end?
The Zheng family's ancestral hall is very large.
Inside are the ancestral tablets and a portrait of Zheng Xiangqian.
Xu Zhizhou looked at Xu Xiangqian's portrait, trying hard to recall things about her and her husband.
No matter how hard she tried.
She couldn't recall a single memory of her husband, not even a tiny fragment.
It's like...
It was as if God had completely stripped that memory from her mind.
Even more frightening is...
Because of her amnesia, even when she looks at her husband's photo, she doesn't feel that intense longing or love.
It's like...
That's not her husband!
He was just like a stranger.
So many years have passed.
Xu Zhizhou had never dreamed of Zheng Xiangqian.
Her only feeling towards Zheng Xiangqian was guilt.
I feel incredibly guilty.
She killed Zheng Xiangqian.
If it weren't for her, Old Mrs. Zheng wouldn't be in this state now.
She is a sinner!
Xu Zhizhou knelt on the ground, his eyes brimming with tears. When he spoke, his voice was hoarse, "Xiangqian, why did you save me back then! Why? Why did you leave me alone in this world to suffer!"
