Chapter 880 - I’m a widow

“You’re awake, if you don’t wake up, they will throw you out. By then, you will be dead.” Although Mrs. Liu doesn’t like Bai Zhenzhu, in the final analysis, she was a lot closer with her compared to the people in the Houfu, who bullied her all day long.

Bai Zhenzhu felt that there was no comfortable place on her body. Especially on her forehead, which seemed to be cut by a knife. It hurts so bad.

When she touched it, she felt something sticky on her face: “What the hell is this?” She hurriedly sat up and asked Mrs. Liu in surprise.

Mrs. Liu glanced at her and said coldly: “Why are you making a fuss? You injured your face. This is the medicine I finally got for you. If it weren’t for me, your face might still be bleeding.”

This was not false. Mrs. Liu did spend a lot of time getting these medicines for her. Thinking of Bai Zhenzhu’s condition at that time, the blood that flows on her face looked terrifying. However, the people in the laundry room didn’t care about her. They didn’t even look at her.

Bai Zhenzhu was terrified: “My face, what’s wrong with my face?”

Mrs. Liu sighed and said, “Your face is badly hurt. Even with this medicine, I’m afraid it will leave scars.”

Seeing Bai Zhenzhu crying, Mrs. Liu added: “Now that we have fallen into this kind of place, what does it matter if you have a scar on our face? Just stay alive. What else are you thinking? Is it possible that you still want to marry? Don’t forget, you and I are both slaves who sell themselves here. As long as Houye will not release you, you cannot leave here.”

Bai Zhenzhu cried more miserably. She was originally a girl from a good family. Although she was not rich, she can live with ease. If she were not greedy for wealth, how could she end up like this? If she listened to her mother and waited obediently at home, her mother would find a suitable marriage for her? Why would she suffer like this?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that life in Huangtuo Village was really good.

Hearing her cry, Mrs. Liu was a little annoyed, so she scolded her: “Cry, cry, cry, cry. You only cry all day long. What’s the use of crying? Everything has come to an end, what else can we do?”

Bai Zhenzhu cried and shouted: “I want to go home, I miss my mother. I blame you all, if it weren’t for you, how could I have today?”

Mrs. Liu sneered: “Blame us? When Houye went to our house, he asked about Bai Zhi’s situation, who came out pretending to be her? Did we ask you to come out? Did we push you out?”

Did they force her to Huantou Village? This was her own choice. Now that things ended up like this, who can she blame?

“In the end, it should be blamed on you. If it weren’t for you, why would our family come to the capital? I was expecting to enjoy a few years of prosperity, but now I am a widow. I have two sons, one is dead, and the other one is pouring oil lamps for others. Why is my life so bitter–”

While talking, Mrs. Liu also cried and slapped her thigh and the bed. She almost fell on the ground when she rolled on the bed.

In the Meng Family Mansion.

Meng Nan looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand, only two pills remain.

After taking the pills, Madam Meng looked up and saw the look on Meng Nan’s face: “Why are you in a daze? What’s the matter?”

Meng Nan shook his head, “It’s nothing.”

The maidservant on the side couldn’t take it, so she said: “Madam, gongzi is worried.”

Madam Meng wondered: “Well, what are you worried about?”

The maidservant looked at the porcelain bottle held by their young master and said: “The medicine is only enough for Madam to take for two days. Miss Bai was pissed off by you last time. Gongzi is embarrassed to go to Miss Bai and ask her for medicine.”
