466 Help
They did not have to worry about the Sun family that had been captured. Zhou Zhi and Zhou Heng would deal with it.
However, two days later, Zhou Wenjing came knocking.
There was a knock on the door. The servant, Shuang Lei, opened the door. When he saw Zhou Wenjing wrapped up tightly, he immediately asked warily, “Who are you looking for?”
Zhou Wenjing took off the veil covering her face. She frowned and anxiously said, “My name is Zhou Wenjing. Please inform Madam Zhao that I’m looking for her. All you need to do is tell her that Sun Yangxin’s wife is begging her to save her life.”
Seeing that Zhou Wenjing seemed to know the Master, Shuang Lei didn’t delay. He told Zhou Wenjing to wait a moment before turning around to report.
When Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao heard the report, Madam Zhao hesitated. Should she see her or not?
Su Sanlang said gently, “Darling, it doesn’t matter if you see her or not. I’ll listen to you.”
Sun Yangxin was once engaged to Madam Zhao. Su Sanlang could not forget this name, but he did not expect to hear this name again in his lifetime.
Madam Zhao thought for a moment and asked, “You said it’s a woman? His wife?”
Shuang Lei nodded. “Yes, she seems to be in a hurry.”
“Madam, if you don’t see her, I’ll go back to her.”
Shuang Lei could tell that Madam Zhao and Su Sanlang were in a difficult position, so he made a suggestion.
Madam Zhao sighed. “Invite her in.”
Sun Yangxin’s wife would not look for her for no reason. Now that she was looking for her, something must be up.
Madam Zhao decided to see her.
Su Sanlang did not say anything. He respected Madam Zhao’s decisions. Sun Yangxin’s wife suddenly came to visit. Madam Zhao would be troubled whether she saw her or not. If she did not see her, she would feel uneasy, but she might not feel good even if she saw her.
If Madam Zhao chose to see her, so be it.
Shuang Lei nimbly ran to the entrance. Zhou Wenjing was still waiting, but she kept looking outside as though she was guarding against something.
When she saw Shuang Lei, she immediately asked anxiously, “How is it? Does she want to see me?”
“Madam said she wants to see you. Please come with me.”
Shuang Lei respectfully invited Zhou Wenjing to meet Madam Zhao.
Zhou Wenjing heaved a sigh of relief and quickly followed.
When she arrived at the main room and saw Madam Zhao and Su Sanlang, Zhou Wenjing knelt down and begged with a cry, “Sister, please save him.”
When Zhou Wenjing knelt, Madam Zhao quickly dodged in shock. She said calmly, “Get up first. I don’t know what it is yet. I can’t agree to it rashly.”
She saw Zhou Wenjing because she didn’t want to regret it in the future.
It didn’t mean that she would agree to Zhou Wenjing’s request.
She got Zhou Wenjing to stand up and speak.
Zhou Wenjing didn’t get up. With tears streaming down her face, she said weakly, “Sister, the Sun family has let you down by kidnapping Xiaoling, but we didn’t know that she was your child in the beginning. Now, we’ve suffered the consequences of our own actions. I shouldn’t have come to beg you to forgive us and save him. However, I’m already pregnant. I can’t watch him go to jail…”
“What did you say? You kidnapped Xiaoling?”
Madam Zhao took two steps back in disbelief. She resisted the urge to question her. She looked at Zhou Wenjing and said calmly, “I don’t care what the past was like, but if you want to hurt my daughter, I won’t forgive you. Go back. I won’t agree with this. Anyone who hurt my daughter should be punished for it.”
They didn’t know what had happened to Su Xiaoling. They were just glad that Su Xiaoling came back safely.
Now that this matter was related to the Sun family, how could Madam Zhao agree to Zhou Wenjing’s plea?
Despite being rejected, Zhou Wenjing didn’t give up. She knelt on the ground as tears kept flowing down her face. She said weakly, “Sister, do you know how many years he has waited for you? A full 24 years. He married me only because his mother forced him. I’ve been married to him for more than 20 years, but he has never touched me. Do you know that?”
“Not long ago, he met your daughter, Su Xiaoling, on the street. His dejected look made me extremely afraid. I’m over 40 years old and have no children. I was afraid that he would like a woman who looked similar to you. I was afraid that he would ignore me. Even if none of this happened, I would still be extremely afraid, you know? I used despicable methods to get pregnant. I wronged him, but I was unwilling. I loved him for more than 20 years. My Mother-in-law, his mother, encouraged me and wanted me to be a sensible woman.”
“I’m pregnant with this child, so I should make it up to him. Even if it’s not the Yan Mian that he loves deeply, it’s enough as long as I can comfort him. Sister, do you understand? No woman in this world is willing to accept a woman for her husband. A person’s heart is only so small and can’t hold so much.”
“He didn’t know about this either. He looked for you for more than 20 years, waited for you for more than 20 years, and thought about you for more than 20 years. He still doesn’t know that you’re back. If he knew that Xiaoling was your daughter, he wouldn’t have hurt her no matter what. If he knew, he wouldn’t have let us do such a thing. Now that the matter has been exposed and he has been implicated, I’m filled with regret. Sister, I beg you, please save him.”
Zhou Wenjing cried and took a few steps towards Madam Zhao on her knees. She grabbed Madam Zhao’s clothes and begged.
Madam Zhao’s mind was in a mess. For a moment, she didn’t know how to reply to Zhou Wenjing.
Zhou Wenjing gulped and said in a hoarse voice, “Sister, do you know that I’ve been alone in an empty room for more than twenty years? I once lost my temper with him and said many nasty things. I even asked him if you fell into the hands of the bandits and fled, even if you were found, would he still be able to accept the impure you? Do you know how he answered me?”
Madam Zhao swayed. She glanced at Su Sanlang anxiously. Su Sanlang’s expression was calm as he gently supported her. “It’s okay, I’m here.”
Zhou Wenjing looked at Su Sanlang and smiled with tears in her eyes. “At that time, he said that even if your innocence was lost, he didn’t care. It wasn’t your fault in the first place. He would still marry you and spend the rest of his life protecting you.”
“Sister, I’m so envious and jealous of you. I know I don’t have the face to beg you, but I still came because he didn’t know from the beginning to the end. He shouldn’t have been implicated. Sister has sons and daughters now and is happy. I beg you, take pity on his love for you.”
Zhou Wenjing leaned over and kowtowed to Madam Zhao.
Madam Zhao was already at a loss. Her thoughts were a mess, and she didn’t know how to answer Zhou Wenjing.
However, Zhou Wenjing wiped her tears and stood up. Her eyes were red as she said, “Sister, he won’t blame you whether you save him or not. He and Mother-in-law have already been imprisoned. He doesn’t know what I’ve done. The Sun residence is still under surveillance. I can’t stay long. I’ll head back first.”
With that said, Zhou Wenjing turned around and left without stopping. Coming to look for Madam Zhao was an unconventional path. There was no loss if Madam Zhao didn’t save her. If Madam Zhao was willing to plead for mercy, it would be a good thing for her.
