Chapter 275 Breaking the Game 2
Chapter 275
These words clearly carried a tinge of personal vendetta. The Zhou Dynasty was unlike the previous dynasties. While there were strict rules for sex, they weren't particularly strict. Women weren't allowed to enter men's rooms unless there were outsiders present. But visiting a patient like this was a common occurrence, and it didn't warrant such harsh words.
Luo Shuiyao did not leave. When she stayed here, she was prepared to deal with her cold words. However, she did not expect that she would be so callous and say such unpleasant words. She froze in place, feeling her ears getting hot. For a moment, she did not know whether to advance or retreat.
But she was not a teenage girl after all. Her embarrassment lasted only a moment. She glanced at the people in the room who were looking at each other in confusion, then lowered her eyes, bowed to the Marquis's wife, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, aunt. Although I have no parents, I also want to see the person I saved. Is his injury serious? If you don't like it, I won't see him."
Her original intention was to tell Madam Hou that she had rescued Ye Yunxing personally, and that Madam Hou should not have said such harsh words.
But the Marquis's wife's expression turned even colder after hearing this. "My mansion has been incredibly kind to you, but who could have imagined you'd repay kindness with such vengeance, taking my son's life and injuring him so severely? If it weren't for you, how could he be in this state? Since you sent him away, why couldn't you bring him back safely? And why are you pretending to be so rude? Do you even need my gratitude?"
The Marquis's wife asked these three questions in succession, her chest heaving violently. It was obvious that she was extremely angry, and her words were extremely sharp.
However, Luo Shuiyao's attention was completely focused on what Madam Hou said about taking Ye Yunxing out. "Aunt, please don't be so angry. You said I took him out? When did I take him out? How come I didn't know?"
Although she knew there must be something hidden behind this matter, these words were too confusing and she simply couldn't understand them.
The Marquis's wife wanted to say something more, but she glanced at her son who was now in a coma. She finally lowered her voice and said, "I won't say any more about this. You'll be married in a few days at most. When that happens, my Marquis's Mansion will sever all ties with you, and we won't need any repayment from you. Just live your life well."
Luo Shuiyao was even more confused after hearing this. She felt as if she had just left the mansion and was cut off from the outside world. When did she say she was getting married? And who was she going to marry? "Aunt, what do you mean by this? Why don't I understand?"
The Marquis's wife seemed tired of talking to her. She waved her hand and said, "Go out now. If you don't, I'll have the servants take you out immediately. You're still my cousin, so I'm sure you don't want me to treat you like this, right?"
Hearing this, Luo Shuiyao reached out to stop Chun Tao who wanted to plead for her. She only gave Madam Hou a deep look and then said, "Since that's the case, I'll take my leave."
Having said that, he pulled Chuntao and the other one out of the room.
When she stood in the yard, the rain had stopped and the sky had cleared, but it was already extremely dark. Luo Shuiyao looked at the sky, and a feeling of bewilderment came over her. Why did she feel as if she had followed in the footsteps of the original owner, living her life just like the original owner? If that was true, then what was the point of her struggle these days?
.........
But after the confusion, life had to move on. But at this moment, everyone in Cuizhuyuan hid when they saw her. She wanted to ask nothing, but she couldn't get any answers, so she didn't want to waste any more words.
Luo Shuiyao and Chuntao walked back to Chunhua Courtyard under the moonlight, one step deep and one step shallow. However, the candlelight in the courtyard would always be on, but for some reason, there was no light today, as if there was no one in the courtyard.
Luo Shuiyao glanced at the brightly lit Qiuli Courtyard off to the side, and a sense of foreboding welled up in her heart. When she pushed open the gate and entered the house, as expected, it was empty. Chunxing hadn't returned yet, and Dujuan was stationed at Qingyu Tower assisting Fang Yueniang and the others. But Aunt Zhang had been staying in the courtyard the entire time, never leaving. Why hadn't she lit a candle today?
Chun Tao also felt strange and whispered, "Where's Aunt Zhang? Why isn't she here?"
Then he called out, "Madam Zhang, are you there?"
But after a long while, there was no response. She and Luo Shuiyao exchanged a glance, then they both hurried forward and pushed open the door. As expected, the house was also dead silent.
Luo Shuiyao stood at the door, sniffed, and suddenly smelled a faint scent of blood. Her heart tightened, and she quickly called Chuntao: "Go get the tinder and light the candle."
Chuntao also realized something was wrong, and immediately stepped forward to light a candle in the moonlight, filling the room with a dim light.
When Luo Shuiyao saw clearly that there was a person lying on the bed, she hurriedly took the candle from Chuntao and walked forward to take a look. It was Aunt Zhang. At this time, Aunt Zhang was obviously in a coma, and there was an abnormal smell of blood on her body.
Chuntao quickly knelt down beside the bed, grabbed Nanny Zhang's hand, and said anxiously, "Nanny, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Her voice was full of panic.
