Chapter 714 She has me in her heart!
Zou Wanshi felt cold all over, her hands and feet were numb, and she could no longer hear what the demon that had haunted her in her nightmares for more than ten years was saying to Yan Shou.
There was a roar all around my ears.
In fact, this scene gave her a huge stimulation.
Zou Wanshi's mind is now full of questions: how come that dead girl didn't die in the turbulent river, and how come she became a princess? !
Did she recognize them?
No, no, no, he must have recognized her, otherwise he wouldn't have targeted her like that.
So, the next step is to kill their whole family?!
Zou Wanshi only felt that an invisible big hand was tightly strangling her throat, as if wanting to kill her on the spot!
“No, no…”
Zou Wanshi's face turned purple from the imagined crisis and she couldn't help but utter a sound.
After hearing this, Zou Wanshi suddenly felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, Yan Shou and her nightmare that had haunted her for more than ten years all looked at her.
Zou Wan's mind exploded again.
Her fingertips were trembling, and she could only comfort herself that the dead girl was only three years old when she was thrown into the surging river, and she might have forgotten it a long time ago.
Yes, yes, yes, that must be it.
Zou Wanshi's face was as pale as a ghost and she was sweating profusely.
Xingxing also found it difficult to describe how she felt at the moment.
Ever since the day she saw Zou Wan and her family at the Yu family cloth shop, many fragmented memory scenes have appeared in Xingxing's mind one after another.
Xingxing used to occasionally wonder what her biological parents were like.
Will they love her as much as the uncles, aunts and wives of the Yu family treat her?
But when Xingxing recalled some fragments of her memories before she fell into the water, she did not feel too disappointed - perhaps it was because she had already received a lot of love, and she had already accepted the fact that her "parents" had never loved her.
But even though she had let it go, when Xingxing suddenly saw her "mother" Zou Wanshi, who had abused her in every way in her memory, her heart couldn't help but be moved.
Yan Shou slowly got up from the ground and came over to greet Zou Wanshi: "Madam..."
Zou Wan came to her senses and slapped Yan Shou in the face with her backhand: "You little bastard! Our Zou family has never done you any wrong, but you are trying to team up with outsiders to harm our Zou family!"
Yan Shou was thin to begin with, and Zou Wanshi did not hold back her strength in this slap, pouring out all her fear in this slap, which caused Yan Shou to stagger back several steps and fall to the ground.
Xingxing frowned and walked over quickly - Xingxing remembered what she saw in those fragments of memory. When she was only two or three years old, she was often beaten and scolded by Zou Wanshi, and being slapped in the face was a common occurrence.
She was only two or three years old at that time!
Zou Wanshi shuddered all over and actually took a step back.
Xing Xing silently helped Yan Shou up: "Are you okay?"
Yan Shou was already terribly thin and looked frivolous. Zou Wanshi's ruthless slap left her cheeks swollen and bruised, with blood oozing from the corners of her mouth.
Yan Shou opened his mouth to speak, but before he could utter a word, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
One side of her cheek was swollen and terribly red, but the rest of her face was terrifyingly white.
Xing Xing's expression changed slightly.
She took Yan Shou's pulse.
Her pulse was so broken that Xingxing frowned frequently.
However, Zou Wan's eyes were fixed on Xing Xing, as if she wanted to see from Xing Xing's attitude whether she still remembered her childhood.
——Although Xingxing looked very different from when she was a child, Zou Wanshi never suspected that she had recognized the wrong person.
After all, if someone appeared in a nightmare every day for ten years, to put it in an exaggerated way, he would be recognizable even if he turned into ashes.
"Your health is too poor. You must take good care of yourself," Xing Xing spoke, but she was talking to Yan Shou, "otherwise, I'm afraid your life span will be shortened... Can I prescribe some medicine for you?"
One side of Yan Shou's cheek was extremely swollen, and it hurt not only her face but her whole body as well.
When she heard Xingxing's worried words, she smiled sadly.
Zou Wanshi didn't understand what Xingxing meant, so she ignored her and talked to a maid first.
Could it be that you really can't remember?
Zou Wan then looked at Xing Xing carefully - Xing Xing had an appointment to go out today, and was dressed very simply and lightly. Even so, the luxurious material on her body and the simple but obviously fine jade hairpin on her head all highlighted the owner's nobility.
Not to mention that Xingxing was extremely beautiful, with beautiful eyes and eyebrows that couldn't hide her beauty, and skin that was as fair and tender as tofu just out of water - you could tell at a glance that she was raised by a spoiled child.
Zou Wan thought about it again and felt a burning jealousy in her heart as Yan Shou had just called her "Princess".
——Not to mention, this jealousy actually diluted Zou Wanshi’s fear that the nightmare that had plagued her for more than ten years was standing right in front of her.
"Who is this!"
Zou Wanshi's question was a bit strange.
Yan Shou thought Zou Wanshi was asking her, so she knelt down with difficulty in front of Zou Wanshi and said in a hoarse voice, "Madam, this is Princess Fusui... I am here on the orders of the eldest young master to ask Princess Fusui to go and see him."
Zou Wan's expression changed several times.
This little bastard was indeed the Princess Laoshi who hurt her son!
She was a dead girl who was thrown into the river by her. It would have been fine if she didn't die, but she actually had such a fate——
On what basis?!
Zou Wanshi looked extremely unhappy.
She looked at Xingxing's calm expression and felt a little relieved.
She thought to herself, this damn girl really can't remember anything, otherwise, how could she be so calm!
So calm that there is not even a trace of doubt!
Zou Wanshi felt relieved for a moment, but murderous intent reappeared in her eyes.
This damn girl is actually still alive... Then she won't stop her daughter Mingzhu from becoming the Fourth Prince's consort, right? !
If the people in Xin Guo Mansion knew about this...
Zou Wanshi looked very unhappy.
She thought that if she could kill that damn girl once, she could kill her a second time!
Zou Wan's mind was spinning, but she managed a smile: "It turned out to be the princess. Last time, there was a misunderstanding between my son and the princess. How about inviting the princess to my home? I'll serve some tea and have a good chat with the princess. Can we clear up this misunderstanding?"
Xingxing frowned slightly.
From Zou Wan's ferocious reaction to her, Xing Xing could guess at a glance that Zou Wan must have recognized her.
But why did I recognize her and why did she look like that?
According to her fragmented memories, Zou Wanshi must have been a very greedy person. Because she ate one more bite of steamed bread, she would punch and kick her, a two or three-year-old girl, and even kick her into a corner.
Now that she has become a princess, Zou Wanshi has recognized her again. Why doesn't Zou Wanshi acknowledge her as her relative?
Xingxing instinctively felt something was wrong.
She was slightly moved, but she accepted Zou Wan's invitation:
"Can."
——It’s not that Xingxing wants to meet Zou Wanshi and the others. Xingxing is living a very happy life now. After all, Zou Wanshi is her biological mother. Xingxing wants to see what her biological mother wants to do.
When Yan Shou heard Xing Xing agree, she was slightly surprised and looked at Xing Xing, not understanding.
In Yan Shou's eyes, Zou Mansion was a den of wolves and tigers. Although she came here according to Zou Minglei's order, she really didn't want such a good princess to go to that den of wolves and tigers...
The princess treated her, a complete stranger, so well, like the bright moon in the sky. How could she end up in such a quagmire?
Perhaps it was because Yan Shou’s dazed expression was too obvious, Xing Xing even smiled at him soothingly.
Yan Shou's eyes were filled with bitterness and he lowered his head.
Zou Wanshi was extremely happy. She raised her voice, a little shrill, and urged Yan Shou: "You silly girl, what are you still standing there for? Go back to the mansion and tell everyone to get ready. Tell them that the princess is coming to our house!"
Yan Shou stood there without moving. Zou Wanshi's face turned cold: "You stupid girl, can't you hear me?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand again.
However, the slap did not fall on Yan Shou.
Xingxing reached out and grabbed Zou Wan's arm.
Zou Wan was stunned.
Xing Xing was also slightly startled.
In her fragmented memories, there were countless scenes of Zou Wan-shi slapping and scolding her.
But more than ten years have passed, and she has grown up. She is no longer the little girl who could only curl up helplessly in a corner and dare not even cry loudly when Zou Wan beat and scolded her.
Xing Xing's face was cold: "If you have something to say, why do you hit someone?"
Zou Wanshi suddenly became furious!
In her opinion, even though Xingxing was a princess, her fate was at the mercy of her!
She is superior to Xingxing!
How dare you put on airs and teach a lesson to such a stupid girl!
Pooh!
Zou Wanshi said with an unpleasant expression: "Princess, this is my maid, you are too lenient, aren't you?"
Xing Xing looked at Zou Wanshi coldly.
She was not at all surprised that Zou Wanshi was like this.
After all, Zou Wanshi beat, kicked, and insulted her "own daughter", so how could she hold back on a little maid?
But Xingxing just wanted to stop Zou Wanshi.
It seemed that if she could stop herself now, she would be able to stop the Zou Wanshi who beat her in her memory.
"The maid is also a human being." Xing Xing said slowly, "Although the maid's indenture is in your hands, if you beat her to death in the street, you will also go to jail, understand?"
Zou Wanshi's face was sullen, but her anger grew even more intense!
I don't know how this damn girl got lucky enough to become a princess, but she actually dared to threaten her like this!
However, Zou Wanshi still wanted to call Xingxing to her house and wait for an opportunity to take action.
She endured it and glanced at Yan Shou: "Well, since the princess has condescended to speak for this dead girl, then I will let her go."
"What are you still standing there for!" Zou Wanshi shouted, "Go back and tell them!"
"No need." Xing Xing pulled Yan Shou directly towards her carriage, "This princess needs her to show the way in the carriage."
Zou Wanshi was so angry that her face turned blue and purple. She gritted her teeth and endured it.
"Oh, right." Xing Xing turned around and looked at Zou Wanshi, saying seriously, "This princess has remembered something else. This princess thinks this maid is a good match for her, and I plan to buy her from you. How much silver did you pay for her? This princess will give you double the money."
Zou Wan refused outright: "No, that won't do. This maid is my son's concubine, she is my son's favorite, I won't sell her!"
Xing Xing raised her eyebrows: "It seems that Madam has no sincerity in apologizing to this princess. In that case, let's forget about today's trip."
After Xing Xing said this, Zou Wanshi became anxious, and the veins on her forehead became more prominent: "Wait a minute!"
This damn girl!
How come the surging river water didn't drown her?
Even if he didn't drown, what good were those vicious bandits on the river? How could they let such a dead thing get away!
Zou Wan cursed in her heart, but she gritted her teeth and made a huge effort to bring Xing Xing to her house:
"One hundred taels - we spent one hundred taels to buy this maid!"
Yan Shou was originally so shocked by Xing Xing's words that she stood there in a daze. Her dead heart began to beat rapidly again because of Xing Xing's words, and she couldn't hold back her tears, which burst out.
But now she heard Zou Wanshi shouting one hundred taels, Yan Shou couldn't help but shouted hoarsely: "No, it's only thirty taels!"
The look that Zou Wan gave Yan Shou was almost murderous!
This damn girl deserves to be killed a thousand times!
Zou Wanshi smiled but didn't smile: "Yes, I spent thirty taels to buy this damn girl from the pawnbroker. But after she came to my house, she was very dissolute. She seduced my son to have sex with her every day. The remaining seventy taels of silver was the money for my son's medicine... Princess, don't I say, why did you buy such a dissolute girl? Even if you buy a bed warmer for the gentlemen in your house, you should buy a clean one, right?"
Yan's thin little face was pale.
Such humiliating words, and said in front of the princess whom she cared about the most, Yan Shou felt cold all over, as if she was stripped naked and humiliated.
Xingxing stretched out her little hand, held Yanshou's little hand, and looked at Zou Wanshi coldly.
"You are so dishonest, and you still want me to go back to your mansion with you?" Xing Xing looked at Zou Wan coldly, "I will take this little maid away. If you really want to make amends, send the maid's indenture as compensation, and then we can talk about your mansion's affairs later!"
Having said that, Xing Xing took Yan Shou's hand and walked towards the mansion.
Zou Wanshi was completely anxious: "Hey, no, hey!"
She chased for a few steps, but was stopped by the guards of the Zhenxi General's Mansion with their swords drawn.
The blade shone coldly and was extremely sharp. Chopping a person was no different from cutting a melon.
Zou Wan swallowed her saliva and stopped in fear.
She watched Xing Xing and her group disappear through the gate of the mansion, and could only shout, "I, I'll go back and get the indenture to apologize, Princess, wait for me!"
Zou Wanshi left cursing.
But she felt a little more at ease.
This damn girl probably hasn't remembered it, otherwise, how could I dare to be so rude to her!
Zou Wanshi hurried back home, and as soon as she entered the yard, she heard the sounds of Zou Minglei throwing and hitting things.
Zou Wan was stunned and hurried into the house to coax Zou Minglei.
When Zou Minglei heard that he only needed to give Yan Shou away, the princess who haunted him would agree to come to the mansion to see him, he immediately became energetic, his buttocks no longer hurt, and he was no longer angry. He said ecstatically: "Mother, look! The princess has me in her heart! She is just angry that I have a maid like Yan Shou who warms her bed! As long as I send Yan Shou away, she will be willing to come to see me! Isn't it because she has me in her heart?!"
