Zheng Family Castle.
Mrs. Zheng had sandalwood incense burning in her bedroom to calm her nerves, and because she often had nightmares, she also had a Buddha statue in her bedroom.
It's 10 p.m.
Grandma Zheng had already fallen asleep and drifted off to sleep.
Twenty-one years ago.
Inside the Zheng family's old residence.
Zheng Xiangqian and his wife were having a meal in the restaurant.
Sudden.
Zheng Xiangqian put down his chopsticks and looked at Old Madam Zheng: "Mom, I have something to tell you."
"Go ahead and say it," said Grandma Zheng, putting down her chopsticks.
Zheng Xiangqian hesitated for a moment, then said, "I like Si Huashang."
Si Huashang?
Upon hearing the name, Old Mrs. Zheng paused for a moment, then asked, "Is it Miss Si?"
The eldest daughter of the Si family is famous throughout Hong Kong.
She was also the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong!
Zheng Xiangqian used to think that this was just an empty title, until he met Si Huashang by chance.
In that fleeting glance, Si Huashang left a deep impression on his heart.
He felt that he would marry no one but Si Huashang in this lifetime.
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Zheng was overjoyed. "If you like her, then go for it! The Si family is practically the local tyrants of Hong Kong. All eight of her brothers are outstanding individuals. If you win Si Huashang's heart, half of the Si family will be yours!"
The Si family is powerful and influential; what mother-in-law wouldn't like a daughter-in-law like that?
If Zheng Xiangqian marries Si Huashang, the Zheng family's future will be much easier.
"What about Zhizhou?" Zheng Xiangqian glanced at the young woman watering the plants in the courtyard.
Xu Zhizhou was Zheng's child bride.
He was raised in the Zheng family when he was ten years old and had a very good relationship with Zheng Xiangqian.
"What are you afraid of?" Old Mrs. Zheng narrowed her eyes, a deep disgust flashing in them. "You and she haven't even registered your marriage!"
If it weren't for Old Master Zheng's insistence on keeping Xu Zhizhou as Zheng Xiangqian's child bride, Old Madam Zheng would never have allowed such a person to enter the family.
Zheng Xiangqian's face was full of hesitation.
Although he and Xu Zhizhou were not yet married, they had already been living as husband and wife.
Zheng Xiangqian felt somewhat reluctant to abandon Xu Zhizhou now.
"She...she's pregnant." After a long pause, Zheng Xiangqian finally spoke.
Pregnant? ? ?
Grandma Zheng's expression changed almost instantly. "Pregnant? When did this happen?!"
“It’s been a month already.” Zheng Xiangqian’s expression was also somewhat grim.
Grandma Zheng frowned deeply.
That little bitch has some really good tricks up her sleeve!
Knowing that she looked down on him, she resorted to despicable means to get pregnant with the Zheng family's child.
shameless!
What a shameless little whore!
Old Mrs. Zheng took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "So what if she's pregnant? Does her child, born to a lowly woman, deserve to be the eldest grandson of the Zheng family? Take her to the hospital right now for an abortion!"
Before Zheng Xiangqian could answer, Old Mrs. Zheng said again, "No, we can't take her to the hospital for an abortion. How about this, I'll arrange it and find a clinic."
Going to the hospital requires leaving a record.
The Si family is no ordinary family. If Zheng Xiangqian really wins Si Huashang's heart, the Si family will definitely investigate Zheng Xiangqian's affairs thoroughly.
If the Si family knew that Xu Zhizhou had been pregnant with Zheng Xiangqian and had an abortion, would they still allow Si Huashang to marry into the family?
so!
Xu Zhizhou should not be taken to the hospital.
Zheng Xiangqian frowned slightly. "Mom, isn't it a bit unsafe to go to a small clinic?"
Old Mrs. Zheng snorted coldly, "What's there to be afraid of? That bitch is tough as nails! She won't die."
If she really died, it would save her a lot of trouble.
Grandma Zheng had long disliked Xu Zhizhou.
At this point, Old Madam Zheng looked at Zheng Xiangqian and continued, "Xiangqian, you just go after Miss Si, leave the family matters to me."
“Okay.” Zheng Xiangqian nodded, then said, “But Mom, don’t have too much faith in me. I heard that Miss Si already has a boyfriend.”
Grandma Zheng didn't care at all, and snorted, "Having a boyfriend doesn't mean you're married, what's there to be afraid of? Go ahead and pursue him! A good woman is afraid of being pursued! This is a new society now, everyone has the freedom to pursue love."
Grandma Zheng's words encouraged Zheng Xiangqian, and he instantly became full of confidence in pursuing Si Huashang.
So, a month later.
Xu Zhizhou aborted her first child.
During this time, Zheng Xiangqian failed to even meet Si Huashang, let alone pursue her. His love letters to her also went unanswered.
The following spring.
Xu Zhizhou was forced to abort her third child with Zheng Xiangqian at a small clinic.
This time, Xu Zhizhou was not as lucky as the first two times. She suddenly suffered a massive hemorrhage while undergoing surgery at a small clinic. The clinic owner advised the Zheng family to transfer to another hospital immediately, otherwise it would be very dangerous.
But Old Mrs. Zheng was overjoyed, exclaiming, "Then let her die!"
She was worried about how to deal with Xu Zhizhou.
It was also at this time that news of Si Huashang and Shi Nanxing's marriage arrived.
Upon hearing the news, Zheng Xiangqian went berserk, his eyes bloodshot, roaring, "How could she get married? How could she marry someone else? I lost three children because of her! Three children! And yet she betrayed me!"
