Chapter 224 Chapter 223 The Obsessed Person (Part )

In Zhou Chuchu's eyes, Gu Ting was never a maid.

So, when she brought her back to the Zhou family, she gave her a new name.

Yongan.

She could not go against her father's wishes and could not give Yong'an a better identity.

But privately, she only sees her as her own family.

A relative who is more important than her father.

When she was five years old, she left Jiangnan with her father and came to Fenxiang City.

Her mother died of illness in the second year after arriving in Fenxiang City.

Later, my father remarried, who was one of the most beautiful ladies in Fenxiang City.

Her stepmother did not treat her harshly. She followed the etiquette, gave birth to children for her father, and took concubines and managed the household for her father.

My father also loves my stepmother very much.

Therefore, when her stepmother suggested that she might get engaged to the Xiao family, her father felt quite relieved.

Maybe he had been thinking this way since the beginning, and just wanted to use someone else's words to make his wishes come true.

So, she quickly got engaged to the Xiao family.

According to the rules of the Xiao family, she started to bind her feet when she was young, and she never neglected the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, books and etiquette.

The Xiao family was at its peak at that time, and my father wanted to use the Xiao family's influence to get himself an official position.

In the following years, my father did get a small official position.

The kind of official who has only the title but no real power.

But his father was very happy. He said that Xiao Yu, the eldest son of the Xiao family, was a promising person and was very good at studying. With his talent and knowledge, and with the support of the Xiao family, it would not be difficult for Xiao Yu to rise to a high position in the future.

But this time, my father had chosen the wrong person.

Xiao Yu is indeed talented and capable, but he is a man who is willing to sacrifice his life for justice...

Earlier, she had no expectations about marrying Xiao Yu in the future.

It was not until she brought Yong'an back that she truly hoped to marry into the Xiao family as soon as possible.

Because in the Zhou family, Yong'an was always subjected to his father's harsh criticism and the gossip of the servants in the mansion.

My father disliked Yong'an very much and always said that she was unruly and uneducated.

She thought that maybe her father just didn't like Yong'an's bold character of being able to contradict others and the face he lost that day... in order to save her.

She has no ability and cannot protect Yong'an in the Zhou family.

Once again, Yong'an had an argument with the gossipy servants in the backyard and was seen by her father.

Her father punished her severely and threatened that if Yongan didn't change her temper, he would send her away.

From then on, she had been controlling Yong'an's temper every day. She didn't want her to make mistakes, and when she got serious she would even hit her palm.

But every time after the fight, she would shed tears silently.

She thought that such days would soon be over. When she got married and brought Yong'an to the Xiao family, Yong'an would no longer be a thorn in her father's side.

But she couldn't wait for that day.

Before getting married, Xiao Yu got into trouble.

My father wanted to cancel the engagement, but the Xiao family was too large to settle the matter immediately.

And it happened that at that time, Yong'an told her that she was going to leave Fenxiang City and go to the capital.

She asked her, "Miss, are you willing to leave with me? I will take you to see the outside world."

At that moment, she was at a loss, frightened, but also yearning.

She hesitated and said, "You and I are both women. If we leave, can we really survive in the future?"

Yongan patted his chest and told her: "Don't worry, young lady, I'm here and I won't let you suffer. I have been pretending to be a man these years and I have been doing well."

Her words brought her peace of mind and hope. Yongan told her that she had almost arranged everything and was waiting to arrange for a partner to pick her up so that they could leave together.

So, in the following days, she was anxious and restless, waiting, afraid, and strangely expectant.

But she waited and waited, but what she waited for was a farewell.

That day she was in the house and heard Yongan's voice coming from outside.

She said decisively, "Miss, I am really tired of living in the Zhou family. Miss, you are getting more and more harsh to me every day. I don't want to take you away. You will only become a burden to me..."

Later, Yongan left and disappeared from her world.

At first she was still waiting, hoping that maybe she would come back to find her.

She even selfishly thought, if she suffered outside, would Yongan come back?
But no, she still didn't wait for Yongan.

What she waited for was her father telling her that Yongan and her lover had run away secretly, and what she waited for was that her marriage with Xiao Yu was cancelled, and then she got engaged to another man in the Xiao family.

In the following year, she stayed at home and was even quieter than before.

It was not until the first day of July of the following year that she married into the Xiao family.

On the day she married into the Xiao family, gongs and drums sounded and red silks were hung along the streets.

She was in the Xiao family's mansion, and she seemed to hear sobbing sounds amidst the auspicious words.

But when she looked carefully again, it was nothing.

She asked the maid in charge, and she told her that she was a maid left for the previous master to have an heir.

The maidservant had been serving Xiao Yu since she was a child. Since Xiao Yu was imprisoned, she asked to be imprisoned as well.

Later, Queen Xiao Yuqiu was beheaded, and the maid went crazy.

When Zhou Chuchu heard this, she felt calm.

Perhaps since Yong'an left, there has been no more gentleness in her heart.

She lived her life numbly, married Xiao Yu, gave birth to children for him, and took care of household affairs for him.

Just like her stepmother, she took a concubine for Xiao Yu so that the Xiao family could expand.

Everyone said that she was a good mistress. Even when the old lady of the Xiao family was dying, she said that she was a good daughter-in-law who did her duty.

But she was unhappy.

She was like a bird locked in a cage, without freedom, living a miserable life.

The old lady of the Xiao family loved to chant Buddhist scriptures when she was alive, and she would ask her to copy scriptures to pray for blessings from time to time.

Later, after the old lady of the Xiao family died, the tasks of chanting Buddhist scriptures and copying scriptures fell on her.

Her child Xiao Yansheng grew up little by little, and he was very good at studying.

But every time she saw him being so clever, she would think of Yong'an.

During those five years, she also taught Yongan to read and write.

Yong'an was a very intelligent person and learned those poems faster than anyone else.

But Yong'an...had become a thorn in her heart.

After marrying into the Xiao family for many years, she has always been well-behaved and rarely steps out of her own courtyard.

In the sixth year after she married into the Xiao family, the Xiao family invited a Taoist priest to come and exorcise ghosts, saying that the maid in the southeast courtyard had died and turned into a fierce ghost to scare people every day.

She wanted to ask a few more questions, but the servants and maids around her didn't dare to say anything.

She thought that Xiao Yu just didn't like the Xiao family's ghost stories to be spread out. After all, from what she knew about Xiao Yu, he was a man who cared a lot about his reputation.

And then one day, she passed by the haunted house and found that her child Yan Sheng was in love with a girl named Su Yue.

She suddenly felt dazed.

The girl named Su Yue is so similar to Yong Ansheng...so similar.
