Thinking back to the sweetness they once had, Cui Mingyan couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
He believed what she said, and he believed that the Wang family would do so. Which parent would be willing to marry their talented girl to a cripple
But he believed more in his sister Juan's feelings for him.
Before his leg was healed, he actually didn't want her to see him like this.
For a talented girl like Juanmei, only a perfect person like me can be worthy of her.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but hit his injured leg hard with his fist, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe.
After a long time, Cui Mingyan returned to her study room dejectedly, then picked up a pen and wrote a letter to her sister Juan.
He has married someone else, and I hope Juanmei can forget him.
However, after he finished writing the letter, he was reluctant to send it out.
"I'm sorry, Juanmei, my Juanmei, you have to be good in the future."
Cui Mingyan shed a few tears, then made up his mind to hand the letter to the servant and asked him to send it out.
On the other side, Bai Chen had just returned to the Chrysanthemum Garden when a mother came to invite her.
It was said that the mistress of the house wanted to see you.
Well, it has to be faced. Bai Chen packed up a little and rushed to the main courtyard again.
In a small tea room decorated very warmly, Zhou was making tea with her own hands with graceful movements.
As soon as you arrive at the door, you can smell the fragrance of tea, which makes people feel relaxed and comfortable.
When Bai Chen walked to the door, Zhou stood up with a smile, took her little hand, walked in and sat down, as if she was very satisfied with the daughter-in-law in front of her.
Zhou is actually over sixty years old, but looks very young, as if he is only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
She is very beautiful and has a great temperament, and is many levels higher than Wang.
Her cultivation is at the middle level of Xuanming, which makes her considered strong among women.
The mother-in-law in the plot doesn't seem to be too harsh on Zhang Xin, and she doesn't ask her daughter-in-law to set rules or anything.
But it wasn't that good either. After she saw that Zhang Xin could not win her son's favor, she just let it go and ignored her.
Later, Zhang Xin was kicked out of the company, and of course she turned a blind eye.
He is just a piece of trash and will only be an eyesore if he stays in Cui's family.
She didn't have that much kindness towards a useless daughter-in-law who couldn't give her grandchildren.
In addition, the relationship between the Zhang family and the Cui family was not good at the time, so she certainly would not have any extra sympathy and leave someone to eat for free.
Zhou pushed a cup of brewed tea in front of Bai Chen and said, "Try it."
"Yes." Bai Chen obediently picked up the tea, took a sip, and immediately felt the fragrance on his lips and teeth.
It is indeed a good tea.
Then, Zhou mentioned her son casually, "Yan'er was not like this before.
In the past, he was a good kid that everyone praised. "
Once a child of destiny, the higher he was praised, the more painful it was when he fell. Bai Chen believed that he was once a "good boy".
But he is definitely a selfish, conceited, and self-centered idiot.
It's just that in the past, his strengths outweighed his weaknesses.
In adversity, his shortcomings finally became magnified and he became a bad boy that everyone hated.
Zhou recalled the good old days with a hint of helplessness in her eyes, “But later, he got injured and there was no way to heal him.
He couldn't bear such a blow mentally, so his temper became worse.
My child, please bear with me more."
Bai Chen nodded, looking very understanding, with tears in his eyes.
I feel wronged and sad.
"Mother-in-law, I will tolerate him. My husband is just unhappy, and I, your daughter-in-law, can understand him."
In front of my mother-in-law, I am a gentle and kind daughter-in-law.
"But he doesn't seem to like me very much. He even hates me very much."
"Hey!" Zhou patted Bai Chen's hand distressedly, "He hates everyone, not just you.
As long as you are sincere to him, he will understand your heart, don't lose heart."
"But, but." Bai Chen said hesitantly, "I'm worried that he will beat me to death."
There was a hint of awkwardness in Zhou's eyes, and she didn't know how to speak well of her son.
Last night, the young couple did not consummate their marriage, but her son had already told her.
He did not elaborate on how the two of them spent the time together.
But judging from his expression, a conflict must have occurred.
What surprised her was that this useless daughter-in-law could remain intact under the tyranny of her son.
This made her a little confused.
Since he is useless, why can he still not suffer at the hands of his son
So, she asked Bai Chen to come, actually, she also wanted to test her strength.
"He knows his limits and won't beat you to death." Zhou said against her will, "From now on, when he loses his temper, just be gentle with him and everything will be fine. Don't confront him.
If he wants to hit you, just run away and wait until his temper is over, and then nothing will happen."
Zhou told Bai Chen about his experience.
The servants of the Cui family were well aware of Cui Mingyan's violent temper. Whenever the maids saw his ferocious eyes, they would run away.
As long as you escape, you will save a life.
"Yes, luckily I can run fast." Bai Chen lowered his head slightly and joked to himself.
"I heard from Yan'er that you have very good defensive abilities and are especially good at dodging. Is that true?" Zhou looked at Bai Chen with an inquiring look.
This child really seems to have no cultivation, but my son said that she is not as weak as she appears to be. What's going on
As the mistress of the house, she was of course well aware of what happened in the Cui family garden.
She didn't suffer any loss last night, and she didn't suffer any loss this morning either. This is not something an ordinary woman can do.
"This, this." Bai Chen looked up in surprise and said nervously, "I don't know what defensive ability is.
I just found something among my mother's belongings that seemed like a way to escape."
At this point, Bai Chen seemed to suddenly recall the sad things in the past, and said sadly: "My mother passed away when I was two years old, and then I was diagnosed as a waste.
Then all the kids in the Zhang family bullied me, and I was often beaten black and blue.
Later, I found something my mother left for me and practiced according to it, and the situation improved. "
"Oh, so that's it!" Zhou actually wanted Bai Chen to take out the escape secret book she mentioned and let her see it, but she finally held back.
This thing is her life-saving item. If her son gets it, her life may be in danger.
Let’s just forget it.
Last night, Zhou actually sat there until dawn in a state of anxiety, fearing that she would hear the news that her daughter-in-law had been beaten to death.
After all, the Zhang family and the Cui family are still discussing cooperation.
The Zhang family gave so much dowry, which proved that they were sincere. If the girl who had just married was beaten to death, it would definitely have an impact on the cooperation between the two families.
Fortunately, this child is not a complete waste.
Zhou figured out the relationship, and there was a hint of kindness in her eyes when she looked at Bai Chen.
"What's going on with your body? A few days ago, the Zhang family sent a letter saying that you are already able to practice, and your talent is not low.
But later, why couldn’t I practice anymore? "
Bai Chen's eyes darkened, and there was even some hatred in them, "That's because I was poisoned since I was a child, and I can't tell anyone about this.
Mother-in-law, please don't tell your husband or father-in-law about this, okay
After all, family disgrace should not be made public. The Zhang family is my mother's family, and I don't want this to be spread out."
"Poisoned, who poisoned you?" Zhou was slightly shocked, and of course she thought of Zhang's Wang. "Your stepmother?"
