Nanny Zhu sat with Zuo An Ning in the private room and waited quietly.

During this period, Zuo An Ning said nothing and looked like he was troubled.

Whenever she heard footsteps in the corridor, she would stand up to check.

Later, she simply left the door open a crack and sat behind it waiting.

During the two quarters of an hour, there were occasional voices in the corridor, but no one came over.

Nanny Zhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that perhaps the Madam just felt stuffy in the mansion, so she came out to get some fresh air.

As she was thinking this, suddenly a steady sound of footsteps came from afar and slowly approached this side.

Nanny Zhu's heart suddenly lifted, and Zuo An Ning also slowly stood up.

The footsteps never stopped and went straight past the door of their private room.

Nanny Zhu stood behind Zuo An Ning and glanced through the crack in the door. Suddenly, she felt cold all over and her hands and feet were shaking.

Although the figure was slightly hunched, one could still tell at a glance that he was a man!

Nanny Zhu began to pray silently in her heart until there was a gentle knock on the door of the private room next door.

Squeak——

The door opened and closed again.

The man never stepped back.

Nanny Zhu slowly raised her hand and covered her mouth tightly.

Madam... Madam actually met a man from outside her family in secret, and they were alone with him and his wife in the same room!

Her vision went dark, but she had to take care of her young lady.

Zuo Anning stood there quietly without making any sound, which scared Nanny Zhu a little.

She didn't dare to make a sound. She walked a few steps to Zuo An Ning and saw that her originally rosy face had turned pale. She felt heartbroken.

Zuo An Ning raised her hand, slowly grasped Nanny Zhu's arm, and her whole body swayed slightly.

"Miss!"

Nanny Zhu was so scared that she made some lip movements.

Zuo Anning bit her lower lip tightly and dared not make any sound. Her long eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, and she looked extremely fragile.

The next moment, she shook her head at Nanny Zhu, walked lightly to the wall connected to the private room next door, and put her ear against it.

Before she heard it with her own ears, she would not and dared not believe that her mother would do such a thing!

The moment his ear touched the wall, Zuo An Ning seemed to hear soft sobs.

————

In the private room.

As soon as Mrs. Zuo saw Li Xusheng, all the fear and worry she had been feeling in the past few days burst out, and she couldn't help but throw herself into his arms and cry.

She cried so hard that her shoulders were shaking and her tears soaked Li Xusheng's clothes.

Li Xusheng did not raise his hand to comfort her. He looked at the screen in front of him, his face full of a complicated and conflicted expression.

He originally hated her.

Since he was a teenager, he has given her all his love. He has tried his best and suffered a lot just to succeed and be worthy of her.

He regarded her as his most precious treasure and wanted to give her his heart.

But what about her?

She spoke of the covenant so beautifully, calling him "victorious brother" again and again, but in fact she was scornful of the poor and infatuated with the rich, vain and selfish, and even hopelessly vicious!

Just because the Prince of Yan fell in love with her, and for the sake of his immense wealth, she tricked him into drinking a drug, and then allowed her father to kill their entire family!

When he escaped death, he swore to kill her entire family!

After enduring humiliation for so many years, he finally learned something from his studies. He had originally planned to take revenge, but his mother fell seriously ill and was dying.

Just when he was grief-stricken and desperate, the second prince kindly stepped in and spent a large sum of money to save his mother's life.

People should be grateful and repay kindness, so he listened to the Second Prince's words and temporarily put his revenge plan on hold.

Some time ago, the second prince finally gave him a task, which was to get close to the wife of the Prince of Yan, gain her trust, and then let her find out the news about the Qiao family for them.

On the surface, he resisted this task, but deep down, he felt a secret joy.

He knew that he was a coward.

Perhaps the love he had for her was too deep, and he has never let her go until today.

Her days in the Duke of Yan's Mansion were not easy. Zuo Heying was promiscuous and fickle, and she became a joke.

So when he appeared again pretending to be affectionate, she was first frightened, then shocked, and finally cried and repented, begging for his forgiveness.

Seeing that she was not doing well, he felt very happy, but when he saw her tears, he felt sad.

When they met for the second time, he pulled her onto the couch.

Perhaps Zuo Heying could not satisfy her, or perhaps Zuo Heying had not been with her for a long time, so she half-heartedly gave in, and then sank under him, calling him "Brother Desheng" over and over again.

He felt extremely disgusted. She no longer had the right to call him that. But for some reason, the corners of his mouth curled up, looking excited and proud.

He told himself again and again that this was only for His Highness's great cause.

During this period, His Highness had clearly given orders for all of them to remain on hold.

But even after she urged him several times, he couldn't hold back and came to see her.

"If you have something to say, just say it. If you want to have sex, let's do it quickly."

As Li Xusheng spoke, he grabbed Madam Zuo's arm and dragged her onto the couch behind the screen.

Mrs. Zuo began to struggle, and for a moment she could not control her emotions, and her voice became louder.

"So, those are the only things on your mind, right? Why have you ignored me even though I have been looking for you several times over the past month?"

"Are all the things you said false? If so, you should have stabbed me when we first met instead of pretending to please me!"

Li Xusheng stopped suddenly. He had been in great mental torment during this period and was in urgent need of a breakthrough.

He suddenly lowered his eyes and looked at the emotional Madam Zuo. He couldn't help but pinch her arm fiercely and said with gritted teeth:

"Yes, when I first saw you, I should have stabbed you to death and then ended my life! You don't deserve my joy at all. Your brother Susheng died a long time ago! He died because of your vanity and cruelty!"

"You know how much I hate you, why did you accept me? You should scold me so that I can have the heart to kill you!"

Li Xusheng's eyes were wide open, veins bulged on his forehead, and his facial expression was distorted. Anyone could see his pain and confusion.

Mrs. Zuo was originally full of anxiety and grievance, but when she saw this, she was stunned and her eyes suddenly turned red.

She couldn't express how much regret she felt in her heart. If she had not coveted the wealth of the Duke of Yan's Mansion, she might have had a husband who loved and doted on her and a happy family like Zuo Hejing.

"Shou Sheng..."

Seeing Madam Zuo shedding tears, Li Xusheng's strength in his hands suddenly weakened and he regained some of his rationality.

He slowly let go of her hand, turned his back, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why are you looking for me? I shouldn't have come out today. If you have any news about the Qiao Mansion, tell me now."

When Mrs. Zuo heard this, she couldn't help but look sad.

"So the only value I have to you is to spy on the Qiao Mansion, right? Zuo Hejing and I have fallen out, how can I go to the Qiao Mansion?"

Li Xusheng's heart hardened. "You promised me that you would find a way. If nothing else, I'm leaving."

Li Xusheng said this and stepped out.

Mrs. Zuo's heart suddenly panicked. She really couldn't hide her belly anymore.

If Zuo Heying knew about this, that bastard would probably beat her to death!

Thinking of this, she felt distressed and hurriedly chased after him, blurting out: "Xu Sheng, I'm pregnant with your child!"
