Chapter 39: Mother Zhao cries, causes and consequences
He Jinzong was furious when he heard Mother Zhao's crazy words. He didn't expect that Mother Zhao, who had always been loyal, would do such a heinous thing.
He gnashed his teeth and asked, "Mother Zhao, has my He family ever done you any wrong? As the wife's wet nurse, you have always been respected in the mansion. You watched the young lady grow up, how could you have the heart to hurt her?"
"My daughter is a living person! You actually let her marry a dead person, and you used such a sinister method. Is your heart made of iron?"
"Why!" He Jinzong said in a trembling voice.
Mother Zhao was covered in blood. The smile on her face was cold and dazzling. "Haha, why? I have worked like a slave for Madam for so many years. Why didn't you and Madam save my son? You just watched him die indifferently!"
"You are all murderers, you are all murderers!" Mother Zhao cried and laughed madly.
She fell into deep memories.
"My son Minghui has been with you since he was a child. He is loyal to you. You helped him study for the imperial examinations, and I am grateful to you. Finally, with your help, he passed the imperial examinations and was assigned to work under you."
"This is a great joyous event. I have repeatedly told Minghui to be loyal to the master. Minghui is very loyal to the master."
"Many years ago, Xiping County was plagued by bandits. In order to relieve the master's worries, he led troops to suppress the rebellion and was covered with wounds. He made great contributions to Xiping County and had a great wish for promotion. However, the master suppressed my son, took away his military power, and only let him be an ordinary teacher in the county school."
"As a servant, I feel sad that my son's efforts have come to nothing, but I have no complaints towards the master and his wife, and I still do my best to take care of the lady and the young lady."
"About twenty years ago, one of my son's men raped a pregnant woman while drunk. The woman jumped into a well out of shame and committed suicide. In order to protect his men, my son gave the woman's husband three hundred taels of silver to settle the matter. Originally, the matter came to an end."
"But the master found out about it and scolded my son for shielding a criminal. He said my son had bad conduct and was unworthy of being a county school teacher, so he kicked him out of the county school."
"He is a Jinshi, but you, my Lord, moved him around like an object. For the sake of his ambition, he had no choice but to marry the widowed sister of the previous county magistrate. The previous county magistrate had an affair with the enemy, and the emperor exterminated his entire clan."
"My poor son was implicated. I knelt in the rain and my head was bruised. I just begged you to save him. But you were too cowardly and just watched my son die!"
"If the master hadn't repeatedly suppressed my son, would he, a Jinshi, have reached this point?"
Mother Zhao burst into tears: "Fortunately, Xue'er, who served Madam, and my son grew up together, and she was pregnant with my son's child. For the sake of my young grandson, I had to suppress my pain and only wished to protect my grandson and let him grow up safely. But my grandson was unlucky and died of illness before he was even twenty."
She sighed deeply, "He has loved young ladies since he was young. When he was young, he told me that when he grew up, he would definitely pass the imperial examination and marry you. He worked hard and became a juren, but fate played a trick on him and he lost his life."
"So I found a master to separate the young lady's soul from her body, and asked the master to perform a ritual to make the young lady and my grandson reconcile."
"It's been a year. It's time for them to be reincarnated."
"In the next life, Miss will be my grandson's wife."
"Master, don't worry. My grandson loves the young lady so much that he will definitely have a deep affection for her and will never separate from her." After saying this, she chuckled.
This is the whole truth!
He Jinzong's legs went limp and he collapsed into a chair, holding his forehead with his hands and sighing in pain: "Mother Zhao, I can't do anything about Minghui's situation. I told you so long ago!"
More than 20 years have passed, and he didn't expect that Mother Zhao had resented him for so many years. He didn't suffer any hardship, but his daughter suffered.
He blamed himself, felt pain and panic.
He blamed himself for not discovering Mother Zhao's thoughts earlier and for letting his daughter stay with her, giving her the opportunity to frame Wanwan.
The painful thing is that he indirectly harmed his daughter.
The panic is, will his daughter be able to wake up?
Just like what Xiantong said just now, if Wanwan's soul is gone, will she never wake up again?
He fell to his knees with a plop, crying bitterly: "Fairy boy, please save my daughter!"
Huo Wa used his spiritual power to help He Jinzong stand up again: "Sir County Magistrate, everything is not set in stone yet, maybe we still have a chance."
This move made Mother Zhao take notice.
She didn't expect that the two children hired by the master were really capable.
But it's too late.
It's been a year, and I'm afraid the young lady and her grandson have already achieved their happy ending.
He Jinzong said sadly: "Xiantong, is there any other way to save my daughter? No matter if it is a huge fortune or the position of county magistrate, I can give anything. I am just... afraid that my daughter will never come back."
"We can try to find Miss He's living soul first."
Shuiwa made a hand gesture and the Yin-Yang Mirror on the table floated above Miss He’s head, and a wisp of soul power was absorbed into it.
With this soul power, when they search for Miss He's soul, the Yin-Yang Mirror will project the location of Miss He's soul.
"Haha, you can't find it. The young lady has been reincarnated." Mother Zhao said sarcastically, and then laughed wildly.
He Jinzong didn't have the patience to face this crazy woman who had harmed her daughter. He ordered coldly, "Someone, lock up Mother Zhao."
Suddenly someone outside the door said, "Master, Master, the lady is here."
Just as he finished speaking, a sickly-looking lady came panting into the torture room covered in blood. When she saw Mother Zhao covered in blood, she almost fainted from the shock.
He Jinzong's expression changed slightly: "Ruolan, why are you here?"
Madam He tearfully questioned, "Master, why did you torture Madam Zhao? What did she do to make you so angry? She is my wet nurse. You had your servants tie up Madam Zhao in public. Do you think I am serious?"
Seeing Madam He, Mother Zhao burst into tears and wailed, "Madam, please save me quickly. The master has been blinded by a demon and is insisting that I am responsible for the young lady's coma. I have no way of defending myself!"
The master never got angry in front of his mistress, let alone lynched his servants.
Mrs. He is here, and Mother Zhao’s momentum is here.
She changed her tone and portrayed herself as a victim.
He Jinzong didn't expect that Mother Zhao was so good at pretending, and his brows were tightly furrowed.
Madam He pleaded for Mother Zhao, she cried, "Master, you have seen how good Mother Zhao is to Wanwan. She has done her best to take care of me and Wanwan. How could she be related to Wanwan's strange illness?"
"Also, where did these two strange kids come from?" She looked at the Fire Baby and the Water Baby and asked He Jinzong puzzledly.
"Ma'am, please don't be rude. These are fairy boys. The two fairy boys have the ability to save our daughter."
