Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 223 The truth (1)

The night was dark, the sky was filled with snow, and it was extremely cold.

In a remote and dilapidated house in Shen Mansion, Mrs. Wang was sitting on a small kang dressed in plain clothes. However, after a few days, she no longer looked like the respectable official wife she once was. There was no trace of blood on her pale face, and she looked old and desperate.

The dilapidated door opened with a creak, and Shen De'an walked in alone.

Wang raised her eyes to look at him and asked directly: "Are you here to ask me about Jiang's affairs again?"

Shen De'an's eyes were bloodshot and his face was sullen. He didn't even look at Mr. Wang, but asked coldly: "Do you think you sent those old people away because you died without any evidence? Do you have the guts to harm Shu?" Son, I don’t believe that Ayun’s death had nothing to do with you.”

Wang smiled coldly at Shen De'an: "After all these years, you have never forgotten Mr. Jiang, right?"

Shen De'an then looked at Wang, with overwhelming resentment in his scarlet eyes: "Tell me, did you kill Ayun?"

　　Seeing Shen De'an getting angry, Wang simply turned away and remained silent with tears in his eyes.

Seeing her like this, Shen De'an lost his patience. He stepped in front of Wang in a few steps, grabbed her collar fiercely, and lifted Wang halfway up from the kang.

Shen De'an stared at her and asked sternly: "Tell me, is it you?"

Seeing that Wang was still resisting her, Shen De'an was so angry that he pinched her neck with both hands. His eyes were red, and his chest was heaving violently because of his anger. He tightened his white knuckles hard.

Wang was like a hen waiting to be slaughtered. She struggled a few times instinctively and then lost all her strength. She could only make a weak "ho ho" sound from her throat as she was about to die.

 At the moment she was about to die, Shen De'an let go of her hand.

Mrs. Wang collapsed on the kang, gasping for air. When she passed out, she turned her head and smiled at Shen De'an: "You are so reluctant to squeeze me to death because you can't figure out Jiang's death." Are you willing?"

She struggled to sit up and laughed like crazy: "Hahaha, I won't tell you."

Shen De'an stood on the ground blankly, with two lines of clear tears flowing out of his cloudy eyes: "I hate myself for not seeing your poisonous heart clearly for so many years."

He looked at Mrs. Wang: "If Ayun hadn't been kind enough to buy you back from your cruel parents, you would have been relegated to a lowly status by those people and resold to that dirty place. It's Ayun. After saving you, she treats you kindly, trusts you, and treats you like a biological sister. I really can’t understand how there can be such a cruel and scheming person like you in the world. On the surface, you are grateful to Ayun, but behind the scenes you can repay kindness with hatred. .”

After saying that, Shen De'an glanced at Mr. Wang with disgust: "Now that it has happened, I don't have to listen to your confession. For the sake of the child, I will leave you a miserable life, and you will linger here and fend for yourself." Just destroy yourself."

 After saying that, Shen De'an turned around and left.

Mrs. Wang cried at his back and said: "I am a wolf-hearted person, and I am very scheming, but isn't everything I did just because I fell in love with you? If it weren't for the fact that I fell in love with you, I would Why go to all the trouble to harm my benefactor?"

"In the past twenty years, I have worked hard to serve you and give birth to children for you, but you only have the Jiang family in your heart. Even if you promote me as your main wife, you are just worried about marrying someone else and letting the Jiang family give you The precious daughter left behind was wronged. In your heart, how could you ever treat me as a real wife?"

The howling cold wind mixed with the rustling snow blew a wet and cold face on his face. Shen De'an staggered as he walked in the vast snow, and his mind was filled with the gentle voice of his ex-wife Jiang.

 Her beloved wife is too kind, too kind to be wary of anyone. And he was too naive to allow such a viper and poisonous woman to kill his wife and daughter by his side without any notice.

When Jingshu learned that Wang had committed suicide, she was settling accounts. She gently closed the account book and asked the woman who came to tell the news: "How are my father and brothers and sisters?"

The mother-in-law who came to the Shen Mansion to report the news replied: "The master is ill, and the ladies and gentlemen are very sad."

Jingshu nodded, dismissed her mother-in-law, and withdrew the maid from the house. She opened the account book again and read it carefully.

 She saw it with concentration. Suddenly, the account book in front of her was closed, and then she was hugged by Li Ling.

 He hugged her quietly, and she was sullen in his arms and just let him hold her.

"If you feel uncomfortable, just cry. I'm the only one here." Li Ling said softly in her ear.

Jingshu's tears finally welled up. She lay in his arms and said, "I really don't understand that my mother was so kind to her back then. Over the years, my father and I also respect her. We have nothing to do with her." Why is she so vicious?"

She raised her head, looked at Li Ling with tearful eyes and asked, "Tell me, why did she do this? Why did she make my home like this?"

Li Ling reached out to touch his wife's tears and replied: "People's hearts are evil. It's not that if you are kind to others, others will definitely appreciate you. It's that you are too kind and always think too well of others."

 Li Ling is right, she thinks too well of others. Not only her, but her biological mother and her father are all simple-minded people.

 She followed her parents.

Now that she has tasted heart-wrenching pain, she understands the evil nature of the human heart.

"Now, I'm just worried about my father. I don't know how sad he will be when he learns that Mrs. Wang harmed our mother and daughter like this. He is old, and I'm worried that he won't be able to bear it." She looked at Li Ling and asked. : "You said, am I being too cruel to my father by telling the truth like this?"

Li Ling replied: "My father-in-law will definitely be sad when he learns the truth, but even so, it is better than letting him be deceived by such a vicious woman all the time."

 He patted his wife on the shoulder: "You did the right thing."

Jingshu wiped away her tears: "I can't let go of my brothers and sisters. After all, it was me who killed their mother. I'm afraid they will hate me. I really don't know how to face them in the future."

Li Ling replied: "Don't be afraid, I will face it with you."

Whenever she encounters setbacks and difficulties, she can feel at ease as long as Li Ling is by her side. Although Li Ling is not good at talking, his words "Don't be afraid" can always drive away the gloom in her heart.

Li Ling pushed his wife onto a chair and sat down. He poured a cup of tea himself and brought it to her mouth.

Jingshu took the tea and took two sips. When the warm liquid entered her stomach, her mood calmed down a little: "I want to go back to my parents' home."

 She cannot rest assured after all.

Li Ling looked at his wife and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
