Chapter 23 Punishing the Foster Mother



Ye Zhenshe is dead!

She was certain that Xie Tingzhou was not nearby before she covered her ears a second time.

He hadn't heard the couple's conversation, so in Xie Tingzhou's eyes, the Ye couple were her biological parents.

Her daughter, however, crouched on the roof of her parents' house, spying on their intimacy.

Although Ye Zhen had lived two lives, he had never experienced love. Under such circumstances, he could not greet him as usual and maintain the pretense of respecting his elder brother.

In the end, she chose to jump past Xie Tingzhou with a blank expression.

Xie Tingzhou watched Ye Zhen's slightly flustered figure, his eyes deep and thoughtful. After a few moments of contemplation, he followed behind Ye Zhen.

Unexpectedly, Ye Zhen sneaked into Wang's bathroom.

The specially made bath tub was filled with a strong medicinal broth. Wang lay inside with her eyes closed, while a maid massaged her lower abdomen.

Ye Zhen guessed that these were probably for assisted conception.

Like a hunting fox, she watched everything quietly from the shadows with great patience.

After the water cooled down and was reheated twice, Wang finally opened her eyes and reached out to the maid.

The maidservant quickly helped her up, and once she was standing, she scooped clean water from a bucket next to her and poured it over her body to wash away the medicine.

Suddenly, Madam Wang spoke up, "Give the order that I will go to the Marquis's residence to see Ye Zhen tomorrow."

After much deliberation, she still felt that Ye Zhen should not be allowed to stay.

As for Ye Zhengqing's intentions, after being married for many years, how could she not see that he wanted to please both sides and leave himself more options?

Since he's willing to perform, she can cooperate; ultimately, she'll be the one who benefits.

But Wan Tang was determined to get rid of Ye Zhen, so naturally, her mother had to help her daughter.

In her heart, her daughter was much more reliable than her husband.

She added, "If the master asks, just say that Wan Tang and I went shopping."

As soon as she finished speaking, a piercing whistle suddenly rang in her ears, as if it were about to explode her head. "Ah..."

Wang hurriedly covered her ears, and her internal organs began to ache, a pain she had never experienced before.

The maidservant exclaimed in alarm, "Madam, what's wrong?"

The next instant, the maid cried out in terror, "Madam, you...you're bleeding..."

Wang's vision blurred, and apart from the piercing sound, she couldn't hear what the maid was saying at all.

All that could be vaguely seen was the maid's lips moving frantically.

Something sticky slid down her face, and Wang raised her hand to wipe it off.

A handful of bright red.

Realizing that these were tears of blood flowing from her own eyes, she was terrified and cried out, "Quick, doctor!"

The sound was so sharp it cracked.

The maidservant realized what was happening and hurriedly ran outside to call for help.

Wang was still naked at this time. She staggered out of the tub to get her clothes, but for some reason, she felt a pain in her knee and fell backward to the ground.

She felt like the pain in her buttocks and the back of her head was no longer her own, but the fear of death made her unwilling to lie on the ground waiting for someone to rescue her...

The bathroom was in a side room of Wang's bedroom. Ye Zhengqing heard Wang's shout as soon as she made it.

He didn't care much about Wang Shi, nor did he think anything could happen to her taking a bath, so he didn't move until the maid ran out in a panic, at which point he realized something serious might have happened.

When he came in, he saw Wang lying on the ground with a pool of blood beneath her.

"lady."

Ye Zhengqing was greatly alarmed.

He loathed Wang, but not to the point of wanting her dead. "What's wrong with Madam?"

Wang did not respond.

He quickly turned the person over and saw that Wang's eyes were closed, her face was covered in blood, and a knife was stuck in her abdomen.

Ye Zhengqing's pupils suddenly contracted.

That was his razor, how could it be stuck in Wang's stomach?

The commotion quickly reached Ye Wantang's ears, and she rushed over with her men, plunging the General's Mansion into chaos.

Ye Zhen took the opportunity to leave the general's mansion, only to find Xie Tingzhou waiting there in the next alley.

He leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, scrutinizing Ye Zhen.

"How did you do that?"

While Wang was taking a bath, he did not follow Ye Zhen into the house.

When Wang cried out, he lifted the tile and saw that Wang was bleeding from all seven orifices and was in extreme pain.

Ye Zhen calmly took the beads from the curtain and struck her foot, causing her to slip and fall heavily to the ground.

Just as Wang struggled to her feet, Ye Zhen picked up the bead again and struck her knee. Unable to withstand the blow, Wang fell forward.

Ye Zhen managed to flick the razor off the dressing table in time, and as Wang fell, the razor pierced her abdomen.

Then Ye Zhen made a mess of the room, as if Wang was struggling in pain.

Ye Zhen was very fast; everything happened in an instant. The scene resembled Wang Shi falling down, accidentally dropping the razor, and then unfortunately falling on the razor.

All of this happened before his eyes, but he asked how Ye Zhen made Wang bleed from all seven orifices, and then Wang seemed to lose her mind.

Ye Zhen calmly said, "I once used pebbles as concealed weapons to help my brother kill an assassin, so marbles and razors are naturally no problem for me."

She pretended not to understand Xie Tingzhou's question.

Xie Tingzhou narrowed his eyes, understanding that Ye Zhen was unwilling to answer.

So I changed the question, "Why do you do this?"

He also knew that not all parents in this world could be called parents.

But he had just seen a deep hatred in Ye Zhen's eyes.

Ye Zhen's hatred for Wang.

According to his investigation, although Ye Zhen was sent to the southern village by the Ye family after birth, she cared a lot about the Ye couple.

It was for their sake that she entered the Marquis's mansion, enduring much hardship.

But just now, her attack nearly killed Wang.

Ye Zhen's eyes were honest. "The matter at the manor was a conspiracy between the Ye family and the Lady of the Marquis. Today, Xie Jinyao contacted her again, and she wants to work with Xie Jinyao to deal with me."

She took a step closer. "Brother, all Ye Zhen wants is to live. It is far better for you to cooperate with me than to be my enemy."
