Chapter 20
(39) My Mother-in-Law is Here (I)
What made me proud was that the next day, I heard from Fulin that Wei Zhen had suddenly fallen ill.
After I heard the news, I laughed triumphantly in my own courtyard, Dezhenju.
However, when I turned around, I couldn't laugh anymore.
Because I saw Madam Wei, my mother-in-law, standing behind me.
At this moment, her face was as cold as ice and her aura was terrifying.
"Mother... Long live the Madam." As I was carefully greeting Madam Wei, I saw Madam Wei step forward and slap me in the face.
I was slapped unexpectedly and fell to the ground, dazed.
Upon seeing this, Aunt Zhang, who was beside Madam Wei, immediately dispersed the servants around.
"You little bitch, you dare to poison my son? I think you are disgusted with yourself for living too long, right?"
Madam Wei scolded me harshly.
I immediately got up and knelt on the ground, trembling as I listened to her harsh words.
"I've heard for a long time that my son married a dishonest woman. You made such a fool of yourself on your wedding day, making the whole world laugh at my Wei family. How did marrying into the Wei family bring shame to you, the daughter of the wandering lord of Baihua City?"
I lay on the ground, not daring to move, listening to Madam Wei's scolding voice becoming more and more unpleasant.
"Everyone knows about your unclear relationship with Gu Shaolian. My son actually treats you like a treasure. You are a despicable thing who came here without a matchmaker..."
I fell to the ground and tears started to flow.
"I didn't..." I whispered to Madam Wei in grievance.
Madam Wei probably got angrier and angrier as she scolded me, and she started looking for something to beat me with.
I curled up in the corner of the room, waiting for Madam Wei to find something to beat me up.
"Tell me... tell me the truth, did you poison my son?" Madam Wei questioned me loudly, holding a broom.
I sobbed and nodded.
"I have... because he said he was going to abandon me, so I..."
Before I could finish my words, Madam Wei had already hit me hard on the left shoulder with a stick.
"Madam Zhang, go find me a whip. I'm going to teach this restless little slut a lesson for my son today."
Madam Wei beat me breathlessly while turning to say to Nanny Zhang.
Nanny Zhang nodded and left the room.
I curled up in the corner with my head in my hands, enduring the beating again and again.
Fortunately, Madam Wei was probably old and not in very good physical condition.
After only a few hits, she looked more tired than me.
She continued to curse me and our whole family with all kinds of ugly words, breathlessly.
In the end, the servants couldn't find a suitable whip for Madam Wei to beat me with, so they just kept me under house arrest in the room and ordered people to give me only one bowl of white porridge a day.
"If anything happens to my son, I will make you live a life worse than death!" Madam Wei said to me viciously before she left.
I climbed back into bed, hugged the soft quilt and cried silently with grievance.
I miss Yunniang.
I miss my mother.
I want to go back to Baihua City.
I never expected that the first time I was beaten in my life was by my evil mother-in-law.
I sobbed and thought, when I get the chance, I must fight back!
Shang Shisan has to fight for his own happiness!
I want to fight!
(Forty) Grandma is coming (one)
After crying for a while, I fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up, I found Shui Ling kneeling at the head of my bed, crying.
"How did you get in?" I asked Shui Ling in a daze.
I remember that when Madam Wei left, she ordered her servants not to get close to me. How did she get in?
"Madam, Shui Ling doesn't know what poison you gave the young prince. She was afraid that you would regret it forever, so she went to tell Madam Wei about this. Shui Ling didn't mean to harm you..."
When Shui Ling saw me wake up, she burst into tears.
I noticed right away that her hand was swollen.
Her face was also a little red and swollen, unlike usual.
"Did anyone teach you a lesson?"
When Shui Ling heard my question, she was frightened and shook her head like a rattle.
"No one... It was Shui Ling's ignorance and lack of consideration that led to Madam Wei's reprimand. No one hit me..."
Shui Ling trembled and shook her head continuously.
"How is Wei Zhen?" I asked Shui Ling in a hoarse voice.
"I don't know anything, I don't know anything..."
Shui Ling seemed to have been severely punished. She kept crying and trembling all over as she repeated this sentence over and over again.
I got up from the bed and felt my eyes were very uncomfortable.
Maybe it’s because I cried myself to sleep earlier, my eyes are just swollen as hell.
I hastily adjusted my hair accessories and outer clothes, then walked out of the room holding my skirt.
Sure enough, the servant who was guarding me at the door was also removed.
I pretended to casually cover my red and swollen eyes, lowered my head and walked quickly towards Wei Zhen's recent residence.
When I entered the room, Wei Zhen was half lying in the arms of a beautiful maid drinking medicine.
Seeing me coming, the maid put the medicine on the coffee table and left the room.
"I have disturbed my husband's elegant pleasure of having a beauty feed him medicine." I looked unhappy and walked slowly to Wei Zhen.
Wei Zhen lay on the bed, looking at me, and then laughed, "Your face is swollen like a pig's head, Pighead Thirteen."
"What are you talking about, you diarrhea prince." I sat on the edge of the bed and glared at Wei Zhen with gritted teeth.
"I have diarrhea because you poisoned me, right?" Wei Zhen rolled his eyes at me.
This makes me even angrier.
"I poisoned you because you wanted to abandon me, didn't I?"
Wei Zhen looked at me with a funny expression, "Is it me who abandoned you, not you who abandoned me? Your lover is going to have a child, and you look so sad, you can't eat or drink all day, and you can't sleep at night. Am I not trying to help you?"
Wei Zhen’s words reminded me of what Madam Wei had just said to me.
I immediately started to feel aggrieved again.
"Did you tell your mother that Gu Shaolian and I have an affair?" I asked him.
Wei Zhen glanced at me, then turned to face the bed and ignored me.
I grabbed his shoulders and continued to ask him, "Tell me quickly, did you vilify me in front of your mother?"
Wei Zhen sighed, then pulled the quilt higher and pretended to curl up in the bed.
"Wei Zhen, please explain yourself clearly..." I pulled his quilt tightly, not allowing Wei Zhen to curl up in the quilt.
"...And Shui Ling, was it you who ordered her to be beaten, or was it the Madam who ordered her to be beaten?"
While Wei Zhen and I were wrestling, I was still complaining about them, "You princes and ladies are so scary. You love to hit people at the slightest provocation and you don't love peace at all."
Wei Zhen finally looked up at me and said, "Do you even know how to manage servants? Your maid told my mother about our private affairs and made such a big fuss. I'm teaching her a lesson for you, okay?"
"Why are you teaching my people a lesson?" I yelled in dissatisfaction.
Wei Zhen was also unhappy. He half climbed out of the quilt and stared at me.
Wei Zhen was about to say something when Madam Wei's voice rang out from outside the door again: "Didn't I tell you to stay in the house? How dare you come to see my son?"
As soon as I heard Madam Wei's voice, sweat started to form on my forehead.
I sat on Wei Zhen's bed and even forgot to greet Madam Wei.
It wasn't until Wei Zhen poked me that I came to my senses. I immediately stood up and saluted Madam Wei, "Greetings, Madam."
I stood there weakly, lacking confidence, waiting for further instructions from Madam Wei.
