When people are drowning, they will desperately grab anything they can touch, even if it is just a piece of grass floating on the water.
The huge fear of death will make it impossible for him to maintain a clear mind, let alone a clear mind.
Zhong Limo was tortured by the fear of suffocation, and could only use all her strength to hold on to Mu Qian's hand that was strangled around her neck.
The force on Mu Qian's hand became heavier and heavier, with no intention of letting go.
Just when she thought she was going to die like this, the shackles around her neck were loosened, and the air that poured into her nasal cavity choked her and made her neck hurt.
"I don't want to kill you. There are laws here so you can take care of yourself in the future." Mu Qian sat back on the sofa.
She had seen many evil people when she traveled down the mountain in the past. People like Zhong Limo had sufficient knowledge of morality, etiquette, and law, but their conduct in life was completely undesirable.
She only remembered that her master said that all things grow according to laws, and no matter what kind of person they are, they have merits.
"I will wait well. As long as I am still alive, I will definitely be able to wait until the day when you kneel down to me. As long as I still exist, your father will always remember my mother, and you will always be the one who is not loved by him.
Favorite existence!"
Zhong Limo was quite proud when she said these words. The expression on her face was crazy, and she raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face.
"I'm waiting to see the day when you are beyond redemption!"
Yinjue Academy has never been a place of peace. Every year, those who enroll are children from aristocratic families and people with spiritual connections.
But every year, news of someone's death comes, and the place of prosperity, even though it is quite famous.
But that place was just a battlefield without smoke.
She could escape once or twice, but not necessarily three or four times. When the time came, she didn't believe that Mu Qian would still be able to come back from Yinjue Yuan alive. She was waiting to see that day.
"Why do you have to let yourself live like this? I don't think I have ever had any grudges with you. Could it be that all your hostility towards me is because of your mother?" Mu Qian looked at her staggering back.
"If someone broke into your life out of thin air and took away what belongs to you, would you hate it?" Zhong Limo smiled with tears in her eyes.
She will never forget what her mother said when she held her hand before she died.
If it weren't for Ning Xi, she and Yun Jingyu would not be separated. Compared to the powerful Ning family, her mother, an orphan, could only be manipulated by others.
There was hatred in her mother's dying eyes, and she only said one sentence: From now on, no matter what happens, she will not be overshadowed by Yun Zhiwei.
She has lost all her life and doesn't want her daughter to lose too.
It's a pity that she didn't do what her mother wanted.
"But none of these things originally belonged to you, whether it was the Yun family or anyone else."
Obsessing with what you shouldn’t be obsessed with will ultimately result in nothing.
"How do you know this doesn't belong to me? As long as I can hold it firmly in my hand, it's mine!" Zhong Limo's voice was a little hoarse.
The people under the pear tree got up and saw Zhong Limo walking out in despair. She walked past several people as if there was no one there and walked straight out.
The entourage waiting on the side hurriedly followed, and Zhong Yuanzhi sighed.
"It looks like the conversation is over, but I don't know what Qianqian said to her." Nan Su looked at the person walking away and said.
After all, the old man has issued a death order, and Zhong Limo will not be allowed to enter the Yun family from now on.
"She is still young. She will understand when she grows up." Yun Jinghang said.
They are all children they watched grow up little by little. If they can sincerely repent, they are not completely hopeless.
"In that case, I'll leave first. I have to apologize again for today's matter."
Zhong Yuanzhi and Yun Jingyu and his wife said goodbye and separated.
Zhong Limo walked out of the side door of Yunzhai in despair. When the Zhong family driver saw someone, he opened the car door and waited for her to get in the car.
But immediately after, she lost her footing and fell to the ground. The people around her were so frightened that they hurriedly gathered around to check the situation.
"Second Miss!!"
Zhong Limo looked at her hands. She lost. How could this be possible?
She is Zhong Limo, she is Zhong Limo!
She won't lose, and she will definitely have a chance to make a comeback.
"I didn't lose. Mu Qian's foundation in the Yun family is not stable. Even if these people dote on her, it doesn't matter. If she died in an accident in Yinjue Courtyard, everyone will forget her soon." She wiped it.
Tears got up and went to the car, "Yes, as long as she dies, everyone will forget her. There is no relationship between them in the first place. As long as she dies, everything will return to its original position!!"
The person sitting next to her and taking care of her carefully wiped her face with a tissue. Seeing her crazy look, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything.
Zhong Liyue stood waiting next to another car. When she saw Zhong Yuanzhi coming out, she stood up straight.
"Father."
Zhong Yuanzhi gave her a cold look and said, "Get in the car."
She knew her father was dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything and followed him into the car.
He always had to find an outlet for his emotions after what happened today, and she was that outlet.
Sure enough, as soon as I got in the car, I heard Zhong Yuanzhi's attack.
"Don't you have anything to explain to me about today's events?"
Zhong Liyue straightened her skirt and said, "What can I say? She did this wrong, and it wasn't someone else who stuffed it into her. Since it's our Zhong family that doesn't take any responsibility, it's useless for you to come here."
It is better to correct her attitude and wait for the Yun family to deal with it. If she rashly calls Zhong Yuanzhi over, those who don't know will think that he is here to support Zhong Limo.
"I'm talking about your attitude, not the consequences of handling this matter." Zhong Yuanzhi stared at her.
Zhong Liyue didn't shy away from it, "You have never known that I don't like her, why do you still ask me to take care of her?"
"Now that his spiritual veins have been severed, he is no more than a useless person. Years of planning have been ruined." Zhong Yuanzhi leaned on the back of his chair and sighed.
Zhong Liyue listened to her father's words and retorted, "It was you who cut off the spiritual veins with your own hands. Even if she is a cripple now, it is because of you."
It's a blessing to be able to save people from being sent to a spiritual place.
Thinking of this, she chuckled. She had a birthmark on her face that could not be erased since she was born. Even if she covered it with her hair, it was still extremely ugly.
Compared to her useless daughter, Zhong Limo has a beautiful face, and with the guidance of the Yun family, the person who can marry with the Zhong family in the future will definitely not be an ordinary family.
The Zhong family has been fading away for so many years, and it cannot compare to a family like Yunjia.
Her father seemed to think that his dream was broken.
"Do you think you can use her to gain any kind of benefits? Without the support of the Yun family, she has no advantage now. With the decline of the Zhong family, I am afraid that she will not be able to win over any good people."
Zhong Liyue laughed without any emotion.
Moreover, the external advantage of the children of the Zhong family is originally the blood they inherited. After all, Mr. Zhong was once a third-level spiritual master.
There are only a few spiritual beings who can reach such a level and become famous on the continent, and Mr. Zhong is one of them.
How many people outside here come here for the Zhong family's spiritual veins, but now Zhong Limo has also been abolished.
"Shut up and let me be quiet for a while." Zhong Yuanzhi rubbed his temples.
Seeing her father like this, Zhong Liyue said nothing, slowly turned the book and bowed her head.
This imperial capital is going to be really lively now. The war in the north hasn't even started yet, but I'm afraid it will start here first.
…
There was such a commotion in the Yun family, and Nan Su finally conducted a thorough investigation of the servants in the entire house. Except for those who had been used by the Yun family for a long time, those who were involved in foreign affairs certainly needed to be replaced.
For so many years, she had not paid much attention to the servants in the inner house, thinking that she would not make any big mistakes after being at home for so many years.
As a result, this incident caused a lot of confusion.
After subsidizing their wages for several months, Nan Su sent these people out of the Yun family without exception.
After finishing the matter, Nan Su sat in the pavilion and looked into the distance.
In the pavilion in the center of the lake, surrounded by blooming lotus flowers, Yun Yu Weizheng and Mu Qian were reaching for the lotus flowers.
In the past two days, Yun Yuwei had been taking care of Mu Qian almost naked, for fear that something would happen to her again at night.
As for the distant view of Fushan Mountain, Mu Qian had successfully restored it and returned it to Yun Yuwei.
"The relationship between the eldest lady and the second lady seems to be getting better. They live and eat together, and I think they are no different from real sisters." The servant on the side said with a smile.
Nan Su took a sip of tea and said, "Yu Wei often took Qian Qian with her when she was little. At that time, the two of them quietly ran over to pick flowers and fell into the lotus pond and almost drowned."
That incident even led to the elder brother Yun Zaichun being punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days on the grounds of poor guarding.
Later, Yun Zhiwei got lost, and Yun Yuwei cried for a week. As soon as he woke up, he ran to Yun Zhiwei's room to stay. Finally, the old man gave the order to seal the room and no one was allowed to enter.
After all these years, Yun Yuwei still never visits the door of the room where Yun Zhiwei lived.
"Mr. Er seems to have not been out in the past few days. He has never been out of the Zhuyuan where he lives."
I only saw that the servants delivered meals at regular intervals every day, but sometimes the trays they brought out still contained untouched meals.
"Since he can't figure it out on his own, no one can help him." Nan Su lowered her head and plucked the pink lotus flowers that Mu Qian had just picked for her.
"Yesterday I seemed to have seen the second lady going to the Zhuyuan, but she just glanced at the door and did not go in."
After listening to the servant's words, Nan Su stopped moving the petals.
Over there, Mu Qian and Yun Yuwei had already gained a lot and walked over holding lotus pods. They both had a lot of mud on their bodies and were sweating profusely from playing.
"Use this to make lotus seed soup. It's just a hot day and it can clear away heat and relieve fire." Yun Yuwei told the servant.
Nan Su took the ice silk handkerchief on the side and wiped the sweat on the forehead of the person sitting next to her.
"I was worried at first, but now it seems that your body has completely recovered. Did you have fun?"
Mu Qian took a cup and drank a large glass of water. Nan Su couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her look.
"I still have to send the painting back to the courtyard, so I'll leave first." Yun Yuwei said goodbye to the two of them.
I have been busy taking care of Mu Qian these two days. The painting has been in her study for several days. In the morning, the hospital had called to remind me.
The work could not be delayed too long, she had to go back in person.
"Go." Nan Su said to her daughter.
Mu Qian tiredly lay on the table and looked at the cakes. The day after tomorrow, she officially left for the Yinjue Courtyard, so she could stay at the Yun family for a few days and stay well.
But before setting off, she still had one thing on her mind.
"Auntie, I have a question for you." Mu Qian looked at Nan Su and said.
Nan Su fanned her carefully with the fan in her hand, "What do you want to eat again? I'll have someone buy it for you."
There is no supply of delicious food or drinks to support your health these days, but there are things that the Yun family’s chefs can’t make, so Nan Su will arrange for someone to buy them from outside.
"Auntie, you said that my father didn't love my mother back then, but why did he marry her in the end?"
Mr. Yun's temperament doesn't seem like he would force his son's family to marry and give up the one he loves, but what exactly happened in this.
"Did you hear something?" Nan Su looked at her.
If there were no rumors from outside, Mu Qian would not ask about this matter again.
So she went to Zhuyuan yesterday to ask Yun Jingyu about this matter.
"What is said outside is all lies, don't believe it."
Mu Qian understood from Nan Su's words that Zhong Limo's words were not entirely subjective.
"It's because I don't believe the rumors outside that I chose to ask you." Mu Qian looked at her.
Being stared at by such a pair of eyes, Nan Su was finally defeated.
"Your grandfather indeed forced Jing Yu to marry Ning Xi."
Nan Su still remembers that Yun Jingyu was made to kneel in front of the main hall. For three days and three nights, there were strong winds, rain, wind and sun. Yun Jingyu did not let go until he fainted and died.
Even on the wedding day, he was reluctant.
"Because Ning Xi was already pregnant with you at that time." Nan Su looked at her.
Mu Qian swallowed the tea in the cup, the news was really unexpected.
"The rumor back then was that they spent the night at Jing Yu's birthday party. Ning Xi was pregnant with you, and she loved Jing Yu so much. Plus, Brother Jing Sheng came to the door in person to finalize the marriage with your grandfather, so that's why
What happened next." Nan Su added, "What's more important is that love drugs were found in the quilt they used that night."
So the two of them were drugged.
Ning Xi was pregnant, and it was impossible for the old man to let the Yun family's child live outside. Coupled with Ning Jingsheng's pressure at the time, Yun Jingyu was almost forced to marry Ning Xi.
"What happened to the love potion?"
Mu Qian was confused. With Ning Xi's ability, she would not be tricked so easily.
"It's because we couldn't find out who administered the medicine, so there were rumors."
Nan Su also held back her breath when she mentioned this matter.
Back then, Ning Xi had a flamboyant temper and never shied away from hiding things, but she was open and aboveboard. Almost everyone knew that she liked Yun Jingyu, and she never meant to hide it, but no one knew that Yun Jingyu had a weak girlfriend.
I don't know.
As soon as this incident came out, almost everyone confirmed that Ning Xi drugged herself into bed, and finally took her son and married her into the Yun family.
Such a reputation is really not good.
"I used to think that Ning Xi deliberately administered the drug. After all, this matter is really difficult to find out."
Nan Su couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned what happened back then. If it hadn't been for that own mistake, maybe everything would have changed today.
Having said this, Mu Qian also understood why Zhong Limo was so unwilling and desperate when she kept mentioning her mother.
If someone else's lover had been robbed, they would probably not be able to remain calm.
But so long has passed since what happened back then, and now that the person has passed away, who can tell clearly what is right and what is wrong.
