"Old lady, can I really go back?"
Mrs. Zheng sat on the bullock cart and looked at Mrs. Xu pitifully.
Mrs. Xu nodded and said: "You can just go back. However, I will keep the deed of sale of your mother and son for you first. In the future, when you feel that you can survive without the Yang family, Or when your son gets older and wants to go to school, you can take the deed of betrayal back."
"As for why I kept your deed of betrayal, you should understand!"
"I understand!"
Zheng was born in a brothel and has a very good ability to observe people's emotions and has a lot of brains.
She's not stupid.
Zheng could also guess why Mrs. Xu asked her to become sworn brother and sister with Mr. Xu.
In Zheng's view, Mrs. Xu was a kind-hearted person, and the reason why she acted like this was purely to protect the lives of their mother and son.
It's a pity that Mrs. Xu did want to protect their lives, but it wasn't just for that.
No matter how Yang Yunyi caused trouble for them, they planned to return it.
"Girl, from now on, when you are in the Yang family, you will represent our old Xu family. If someone bullies you, you don't have to swallow it."
"If you should scold me, scold me back!"
"We will support you in everything!"
Mrs. Xu said seriously.
Mrs. Zheng looked panicked, obviously not believing what Mrs. Xu said.
Old Mrs. Xu said in a deep voice: "Girl, you have to know that you are from the family of Qipin Xiaoyilang. Our old Xu family also has an eldest lady who was canonized as the head of Defu Village by the Holy One."
"Also, my third child is the head of Jinke in Xiangyi Prefecture, and his future is limitless!"
"Lord Zuo, the county honour, has no quarrel with my family!"
In order to make Mrs. Zheng firmly believe in the power of the old Xu family, Mrs. Xu really boasted vigorously.
"Girl, there's one thing I have to say. If you lose the face of my old Xu family, then don't blame my old lady for being unkind. You and your mother are so far apart that you will never have the chance to meet again in this life!"
With the contract of betrayal in hand, Mrs. Xu’s words were not intimidation without any threat.
When Mrs. Zheng heard what the old lady said, her expression really changed.
"Old lady, slave, I don't dare!"
"Please, don't, don't..."
Mrs. Zheng was frightened.
She once had no hope in life until she was redeemed by Yang Yunyi and became a concubine. However, when she was in the Yang Mansion, Mrs. Zheng was still cautious. After all, she was just a concubine who came from a brothel.
Only when she gave birth to a son did Zheng finally see hope.
But when Yang Yunyi was thrown to Lao Xu's house to apologize, Zheng fell into deeper despair.
Not long ago, Mrs. Xu gave her hope again.
But now Mrs. Xu's words have made Zheng fall into despair again.
"Girl, you are a smart person."
"You should understand what I mean!"
"So, what happens to you and your son in the future depends on your performance in the Yang Mansion!"
After hearing what Mrs. Xu said, Mrs. Zheng quickly said that she would perform well.
The deed of sale fell into the hands of Mrs. Xu. Even if she wanted to do something, she had to see if Mrs. Xu agreed.
"Don't worry, I'm not someone who kills donkeys!"
"As long as you perform well in the Yang Mansion, then there will always be a day when you can repay this contract of betrayal!"
"I understand!"
What else could Zheng say? She had no other choice but to comply.
It was also at this moment that Ms. Zheng suddenly understood that the kind old lady she had always thought of was not as kind as she seemed on the surface. (End of chapter)
