Chapter 281 Betrayal
Zi Su looked at Zhiruo and said word by word: "Don't worry, girl, what I hate most in this life is betrayal, whether it is betrayal of relatives or evil slaves and masters, because my mother has tasted the bitter fruits of these two betrayals in her life..."
Speaking of mother, Zi Su choked, her eyes, which were already tearful, turned red, her eyes dull, as if they were focused and confused.
Rudong was about to speak, but Zhiruo grabbed her and shook her head gently to signal her to be quiet.
Zi Su paused for a while before clearing her throat and continued, "My mother was originally the daughter of the Miao Di Poison King. Because of the revenge, she was the only one of her family of seventeen. Her mother, who was less than fifteen, came to Daying alone under her name. At first, she was sold to the medicine shop for a living by picking herbs. Later, she saved my grandmother and began to learn Daying embroidery. My mother, who was already good at Miao embroidery, learned very quickly and became the first embroidery girl in the local area.
The next year, my grandmother was seriously ill. My mother married my father at the begging of her grandmother, took on the burden of supporting her family, raised a younger uncle and a younger sister-in-law, and offered my father from a scholar to a juren, then to a Jinshi, and then to an official..."
Mother, father? And that completely different tone and look... It is obvious that Zisu is not close to her father. No need to listen to it. At this point, Zhiruo guessed the follow-up of the story. It was nothing more than the obsessive woman's unfaithful man and the phoenix man's wife's wit. If she remembers correctly, when she was reduced to an official slave, Zisu's identity was a concubine daughter.
Sure enough, Zi Su continued: "My mother is very capable. With her embroidery work, she not only supported the whole family, gave up on her father, but also built a large house, bought nearly a hundred acres of fertile land and two shops. Our family was a rich family in the village at that time.
One year after my father was appointed as the magistrate, I asked someone to pick us up. According to my father's letter, my mother gave all the property she bought to my second uncle, leaving only three hundred taels of silver and some decorations, and took me to reunite with my father. When I first arrived at the position, my father seemed to be as happy to us as before. My mother was very happy and always said that all her hard work was worth it.
Unfortunately, my mother's happiness is too short, not even a month. Zhang Wulang from the neighboring village of our hometown came with an old bellyband from my mother and said that he had an affair with my mother and asked my father to let my mother go. My father was furious and wanted to divorce his wife on the spot. My mother looked at the bellyband and my sister-in-law and uncle whom my father took out, saying that she suspected that my mother was unfaithful. She didn't know what she said in my father's ear. My father's face turned purple and he didn't divorce her wife in the end.
Later, my mother and my father reached an agreement. The next day, my mother was demoted to the concubine and took me to the village. Also with us was the beggar woman who was rescued by my mother on the way to take me to her father, and she sold herself as a slave to serve my mother.
Not long after we left, my father married his Shangguan’s daughter in a glorious way. Eight months later, he gave birth to a fat and said to be a white and fat daughter. On the day my sister was washed three years ago, my father was promoted to the prefect, and it was a real joy.
My mother probably was so heartbroken that she was indifferent to these news. She never mentioned her father in the past few years. In addition to embroidery and exchanged money for life, she taught me embroidery. Soon after, she also added drug recognition and pharmaceuticals. She just repeatedly warned me that she was allowed to use poison unless she had to, that she was not allowed to go to the seedlings, that she would not let anyone know that I could make medicine, and that I was my grandfather's identity...
In this way, we spent six years peacefully in the village until a dark and windy night. My mother, covered in blood, suddenly woke me up. Before I could react, I was pushed into a secret thought under the bed. My mother hurriedly told me that Mrs. Wen betrayed her, not only attacked her, but also replaced all the medicines she secretly made. Although Mrs. Wen died, many men in black came, and once she got rid of the simple poison array she temporarily set up, she would rush in. Therefore, I had to escape immediately and go back to the house. If the tiger poison did not eat her, my father would at least protect me.
When I came out of the tunnel and ran back to the village secretly, I saw a scorched earth ruin...
Sadly, I was taken into jail as soon as I returned to the mansion. I don’t know if my father was involved in some dirty things in his mother’s family and was implicated. Is it counting that I was beheaded? All the mansion was sentenced to be a slave. Fortunately, God finally did not abuse me too much, so I was able to come to Meizhuang."
Zi Su finished her life experience intermittently and was already full of tears. Zhiruo and Ruchun were also indifferent to each other, and Rudong exaggerated and kept sobbing. It seemed that she was more sad than Zi Su, and more like the pitiful girl in Zi Su's mouth.
When Zi Su calmed down, Zhiruo whispered: "You already know who the enemy who killed your mother is, right?"
Zi Su suddenly raised her head, a trace of shock flashed in her eyes, and nodded, "Yes, it's very big." She also had evidence that her mother had stuffed her before closing the secret door, but she couldn't take it out now, otherwise it would not only make sense, but it would also implicate the girl and Meizhuang. However, the girl is so amazing. She didn't mention a word about the enemy just now, right?"
"Remember it in your heart," Zhiruo half-down his eyes, and his right fingers were habitually slid on the table. "You don't have the ability to take revenge now, maybe what will happen in the future? People don't have enough abilities, at least they need enough endurance."
"Yes," Zi Su said seriously, "I understand, I remember." She had enough patience to wait for her master to be strong and help her master to be strong. This is also the reason why she confessed frankly today. The girl needs to be able to trust her, and she also needs the girl's trust. As for her trust in the girl, at this moment, the girl should have a good idea in her heart.
When Zhiruo placed the required medicinal materials and plants listed in the wooden box and the Perilla list in front of Mingze, Minghui, Mowang, and Qiang Bo, the four of them opened their eyes wide and couldn't believe it.
When Zhiruo briefly mentioned the origin of Zisu's pharmaceutical ability, Bo Qiang patted Mo Wang's shoulder enviously: "Why am I talking about it? You can pick up treasures. Everyone who picks them up is treasures. Mr. Su is, and now Zisu is so." Zisu, whose original name is A Xiu, was attracted by so many official slaves.
Minghui nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, Brother Mo Wang, if you have someone you like in the future, even if you bring it back, the more you will be better." If Brother Mo Wang hadn't "picked" back to the husband, where would the elder brother find such a good and knowledgeable teacher? He wouldn't have heard so many allusions, and it would be impossible to find the fun of reading and learning strategies. Well, most importantly, without the husband's intentional jokes, the master was afraid that he would not accept him as his disciple at all.
