Both of them turned their heads and realized that Da Zhong’s wife had awoken. Her thick body slid out of the sheets and she jumped out of bed. “Why, how shameless you are! You dare to hook up with someone in my bedroom?”
With that, she rushed forward to where the two of them were. Before Mi Nuo could even react, a tight slap hit her on the face!
“You vixen! Shameless! I was so kind as to have saved you, but now you’re trying to hook up with my husband!”
With that, another slap came flying toward Mi Nuo!
After being slapped swollen by Gu Xingshan earlier, her face had finally shown signs of improvement… but now here she was, being slapped once more!
Mi Nuo felt as if her nose was about to be slapped out of shape. With blood flowing down her nose and into her mouth, she vehemently raised her head and glared hard at Da Zhong’s wife. “What are you doing?!”
The woman was shocked by the fierceness of the gaze. “What am I doing? You’re seducing my husband, and you dare to ask me what I’m doing?”
Mi Nuo bit her lips and stared at her. “Me, seducing your man? It was obviously him…”
“My dear wife, I’m in the wrong — it was this vixen who had me come to look for her in the middle of the night, honey…” All of a sudden, Old Zhong was kneeling by her side, sobbing and pulling at his wife’s leg.
His wife immediately glared at Mi Nuo.
Mi Nuo jumped out of bed and rushed forward. Perhaps due to the dire circumstances in which she had found herself in the past two days, she felt a surge of energy rising in her, and she pushed the woman away. “Me, seduce him? Am I blind or what?! That’s enough, both of you! My mother gave you so much money, and this is how you treat me? Beware, because if my mother finds out what you’ve done to me, she won’t let you off easily!”
“Oh dear, you’ve been here for so long, but has that mother of yours even bothered to come and visit you even once? You’re still thinking of getting her to deal with us? Even if she comes, we’re not afraid of her! Well, I guess if she doesn’t mind exposing the matter that happened all those years ago, then she’s welcome to come here and take issue with us!” The woman had her hands on her hips and was now glaring at her, full of confidence.
Mi Nuo was stunned when she heard this. “What do you mean?”
The woman gave a cold laugh. “Now that things have come to this, I don’t mind telling you the truth. Do you think that all your mother has been telling you has been nothing but the truth? That you were stolen and then discarded by someone? Let me tell you, the truth isn’t like that. Your mother…”
Before the woman could say anything more, Mi Nuo had already been shocked stiff. She looked at the woman in utter disbelief. “What did you just say?!”
It was only then that the woman realized that she had almost blurted out the truth. Curling her lips, she said, “Humph, I just wanted to say — don’t think that we’re just people under the employment of your mother. We’re on equal footing, and as much as she’s got something on us, we’ve got something on her too! If she doesn’t give us the money, I’ll make sure that she won’t get to remain as Madam Gu!”
Mi Nuo looked at her in shock, suddenly feeling as if she’d gotten something wrong in her head all along.
A feeling of loneliness and helplessness began to grow in her, and she felt as if there was no place for her in this vast world.
She clenched her fists and stared hard at the woman in front of her. The only thing she felt now was… something had been overthrown, and her whole world was crashing down on her at this very moment.
She had always believed what Li Yufeng had told her — that Mother Zhuang had stolen her out of hate after she had been born. Afterward, Mother Zhuang had sold her off, and so Mother Zhuang had been the cause of all the misery in her life.
