A raincoat wind and snow to the small garden

Chapter 28 Snowy Villa ()
On a snowy night, the girl's sobbing could be heard everywhere.

The law is unforgiving. Since we want to arrest Wu Niangzi, we must also arrest Zheng Sirou's adoptive brother.

But at this moment, Madam Zheng Si braved the wind and snow, stood behind her daughter, and said to the crowd, "I'm afraid you don't know how many dirty things are going on in the private life of this seemingly magnificent Zheng family!"

When Madam Zheng saw her fourth daughter-in-law step forward, she was so frightened that she waved her cane wildly, trying to force the fourth wife to shut up. "Bitch! Shut up! With your status, marrying into the Zheng family is already a great achievement. I have treated you leniently for many years, and now you dare to speak nonsense here, making the whole capital laugh at the Zheng family. You are so vicious that you will be punished by heaven and earth!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng Si almost laughed to tears.

She burst into laughter and said madly: "If I knew that my role was to help the harem to hide the shame, I would not marry into the Zheng family even if you gave me a large dowry!"

"I really regret it. The thing I regret most in my life is being the daughter-in-law of your Zheng family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place was silent.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was the only one who watched coldly. She solemnly asked Madam Zheng Si, "Is everything you said true?"

Madam Zheng Si readily knelt before Xie Yunxue. She shook her daughter Zheng Sirou's small hand and said gently, "Your Highness, I dare not lie to you. Your family claims to be righteous, righteous, polite, and wise, but in reality, they are all thieves and prostitutes! I saw with my own eyes that the Fourth Master and the Fifth Lady were having an affair behind someone's back. I have never lied to you. Please investigate, Your Highness!"

Ten years ago, in order to cover up the affair between Silang and Wu Niangzi, the Zheng family asked for a wife of humble status for the fourth master of the Zheng family.

The Fourth Lady never dreamed that she, a mere concubine's daughter, could marry into such a good family. Although her sisters-in-law were sarcastic and always laughed at her behind her back, her parents-in-law were easy to get along with. They not only gave her gold and silver, but also always cared about her.

The Fourth Lady wanted to repay this kindness, so she served the Fourth Master even more enthusiastically.

At first, the couple was very much in love and as sweet as honey.

Until the fourth wife became pregnant, she woke up one night and found that the bedside was empty and the quilt had been emptied for a long time.

The Fourth Lady felt disappointed as she realized that the Fourth Master had not been to the inner courtyard for a long time.

The fourth wife stroked her growing belly, and tears welled up in her thick eyelashes as she thought of her husband's neglect these days.

But the Fourth Lady did not dare to cry. She took a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, got downstairs with a lantern, and asked her maid from her mother's family to follow her to the Fourth Master's study to bring some chicken soup and cakes.

The Fourth Master loves to drink chicken soup, and in order to please her husband, the Fourth Lady always cooks it for him herself.

However, this time when the Fourth Lady went to the study, she found nothing.

The gatekeeper boy knelt on the ground, trembling with fear. He looked at his wife who was already seven months pregnant and didn't dare to fart.

The Fourth Lady had always been humble and courteous, even to her husband's servants. But today, when she thought of the grievances she had suffered these days and the ridicule of her sisters-in-law, she suddenly became furious.

The Fourth Madam scolded, "Even if the Fourth Master was staying in some little bitch's yard, you would have told me. I'm not so magnanimous as to be tolerant! But if you dare to shield the master and disrespect me, the mistress, I will punish you. I don't believe there are so few useful servants in the entire Fourth House!"

Hearing this, the servant boy dared not argue. He lowered his head tremblingly and whispered, "Fourth Master, Fourth Master is in the forbidden courtyard..."

The Zheng family has an open secret, that is, there is an evil spirit kept in the forbidden courtyard. No one knows whether it is good for the feng shui of the house or related to the fortune of the ancestors. In short, the evil spirit cannot be killed. Not only can it not be killed, it must be suppressed with a demon-subduing formation and provided with good food and drink every day. All the slaves and servants in the house have signed death contracts, and no one dares to risk their lives to tell anyone.

It was late at night, and instead of reading in the study, the husband was sneaking into the forbidden courtyard. What was he doing?
The fourth lady felt a chill in her heart. She turned around silently and decided to go to the forbidden courtyard to find out what was going on.

But the Fourth Lady was still afraid of the evil spirit, so she only dared to look inside through the lighted window.

In the bright lights, she saw with her own eyes her husband fooling around with a strange woman.

The woman looked out the window.

This glance, the four eyes met.

The Fourth Lady saw with her own eyes the evil beauty raise her lips and smile, and then the woman's gaze fell on the Fourth Lady's pregnant belly and lingered for a long time.

The fourth lady realized something and was so frightened that she stepped back repeatedly.

She never dared to ask about her husband again. Even though she accidentally heard the identity of the evil spirit, it turned out that the woman was the fifth lady who died young in the mansion, and her husband had disregarded propriety and shame and stayed with the fifth lady in the middle of the night.

The fourth wife was disheartened and all her attention was focused on her children.

The fourth wife gave birth to a lively and healthy daughter, and she named her Sirou.

The Fourth Lady regarded her daughter as a treasure. She only wanted to live with her daughter and no longer wanted to care about the Fourth Master. She also did not consummate the marriage with her husband.

When Zheng Sirou was four or five years old, one day, the child was playing with a ball in the yard and accidentally threw the ball into the forbidden yard. Although her nanny warned her to stay away from the forbidden yard, how could a child be so sensible?
Zheng Sirou couldn't resist her curiosity and stepped into the half-open gate.

Children's screams were heard in the yard, and the gate was closed and not opened for a long time.

The Fourth Lady couldn't find her daughter, and a terrifying possibility came to her mind...

She knelt before the Fourth Master and begged her husband to go to the confinement house to retrieve her daughter.

When the couple came to the backyard together, Wu Niangzi was holding Zheng Sirou and playing ball with her gently.

The Fourth Lady had long heard the story of the maids being sacrificed to the Fifth Lady's stomach, so how could she dare to let her daughter spend time with the Fifth Lady in private?

"Give Sirou back to me!" The Fourth Lady pretended to come up and fight with the Fifth Lady, but the Fourth Master hugged his emotionally unstable wife around the waist.

The fifth lady tilted her head and wrapped the little girl tighter.

She glanced at the Fourth Madam and suddenly smiled brightly: "It's you... If you were willing to give the child to me at that time, she would have been mine."

The Fourth Master naturally knew what his sister meant by "mine". The Fifth Lady was always like this. She liked to play with her prey enough before disposing of it. She did not have the emotions of a normal person.

Perhaps her only normal emotions were given to this brother.

The Fourth Master extended his hand towards her: "Give the child to Fourth Brother, okay?"

Wu Niangzi's grip on Zheng Sirou's hand tightened. She narrowed her eyes and smiled faintly, "Fourth Brother, don't you love Wu Niang anymore? Fourth Brother said that you would give me whatever Wu Niang wants."

"No, she's my daughter."

Wu Niangzi pouted: "Fourth brother, I like her so much. Since she is your daughter, why can't she be given to Wu Niang? Fourth brother can have many daughters, I only want this one."

Upon hearing this, the fourth lady collapsed in anger. She broke away from her husband and raised her hands high.

The slap fell, landing heavily on Wu Niangzi's face.

There was a loud bang, and blood oozed from the corner of Wu Niangzi's mouth.

The fourth lady's eyelashes were wet with tears: "Bitch! It's not enough to steal my husband, you also want to hurt my daughter, you dream!"

The moment Wu Niangzi was stunned, Zheng Sirou took the opportunity to escape back to her mother's arms.

But the Fourth Master didn't care about his wife and daughter at all. Instead, he went forward to hug his sister and asked about her well-being: "Fifth sister, how are you? This crazy woman dared to hurt you, I will tell her to get out right away..."

The Fifth Lady smiled instead of getting angry. She touched the bright red blood at the corner of her mouth, took a sip and tasted it. She said with a smile, "Brother, it's sweet."

The moment Fifth Lady drank blood, Fourth Lady felt a chill run down her spine. She realized with horror... Fifth Lady was born with a love for blood and blood, and she didn't have the heart of a normal person. Zheng Sirou had been targeted, and the child would surely die.

The fourth wife wanted to protect her daughter. The only way to save her life was to send her daughter away.

Even if the mother and daughter were separated from each other and never saw each other again.
