Chapter 197

Hearing Ye Ximing mention her origin, a sinister look flashed in Zhou Ying's eyes.

All the suffering she had suffered in the past few years was due to this incident. If she had not had the means to hook up with Uncle Cheng En and coax him to redeem her body, she would still be tortured in the brothel now.

Zhou Ying regretted it after she followed Uncle Cheng En to Beijing and found out that Ye Ximing actually won the first prize in the exam.

Originally, the position of Mrs. Zhuangyuanlang should have been hers, but she gave it to Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran has obviously been inferior to her in everything since she was a child, so why should Zhou Ran live a better life than her.

Zhou Ying was unhappy and couldn't help but keep paying attention to Ye Ximing and Zhou Ran.

She was even more upset when she learned that Ye Ximing went to Jiangnan and was promoted for meritorious service when he came back.

She couldn't help but think about how much better it would have been if she had not refused to marry Ye Ximing.

Then she is Mrs. Ye now, instead of an insignificant concubine in Cheng'en's house, let alone those years of suffering.

She didn't know how difficult it was to be a concubine until she entered Uncle Cheng'en's mansion. No matter who the ladies in the mansion saw, they could scold her, and Mrs. Cheng'en's uncle also liked to set rules for concubines like them. .

Although life in Uncle Cheng'en's Mansion was much better than the life she had lived in the brothel before, it was not as good as she had imagined.

Moreover, although Uncle Cheng En was an earl, he was old and ugly. How could he compare to Ye Ximing, a young and handsome upstart in the court.

When she met Ye Ximing here, Zhou Ying couldn't help but think about it.

She originally thought that she and Ye Ximing had been engaged before, and Ye Ximing would always treat her a little differently. She never thought that Ye Ximing didn't take her seriously at all, and even threatened her with her own background.

Zhou Ying wanted to ignore it, but thinking of her current situation, she forced herself to calm down.

Even if she can't hook up with Ye Ximing and get rid of her status as a concubine, it would be good to hook up with Ye Ximing and Zhou Ran to improve her status in Cheng'en's Mansion.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ying put a smile on her face again.

"Brother-in-law is too unkind. Even if A'ran and I are not biological sisters, we are still cousins. Although there were some misunderstandings between A'ran and the family in the past, the matter has passed. Now we are the only two sisters left in the Zhou family. Yes, we should support each other.”

When Zhou Heng and his family left Nanxing County, they sold Zhou Ran's biological mother, Lin.

Without Lin, they are truly a family.

After the family followed Boss Zhen to Songshan Mansion, Boss Zhen indeed gave Zhou Heng the accounting job as he said before.

But something went wrong after Zhou Heng had only been working for the Zhen family for a few days. Boss Zhen was so angry that he kicked Zhou Heng out of Songshan Mansion.

After Zhou Heng begged to no avail, he wanted to find a job as an accountant again in Songshan Mansion, but news of his lack of ability and bad conduct had been spread throughout the circle by Boss Zhen.

Zhou Heng stopped looking for work after hitting a wall at every turn, and spent his days hiding in his house drinking.

After he had spent almost all the money in his hands, Zhou Heng set his sights on Su and Zhou Ying.

Zhou Ying was sold into a brothel by him, and the child in her belly was also aborted.

Su was getting older and the brothel didn't want her, so he forced her to pick up guests at home every day in exchange for his drinking money.

The people who came to see Su Shi were all poor and unwilling to be lonely. Su Shi's life was miserable, and she soon became crazy. In the end, she ran out and drowned.

When Su's body was brought to Zhou Heng, Zhou Heng just cursed and continued to die in a drunken dream. When Zhou Siqi left Nanxing County, he still thought about starting over after arriving in Songshan Mansion and continuing to be a scholar that everyone envied.

But Zhou Heng didn't even have enough money to drink himself, so how could he provide money for him to continue studying.

Zhou Siqi wanted to make money on his own, but he was too ambitious and looked down upon ordinary work. In the end, he got addicted to gambling for some reason and owed a lot of gambling debts to the gambling house. He was beaten to death by the gambling house and died because he was not treated in time.

Not long after Zhou Siqi's death, Mrs. Zheng also died of illness, leaving Zhou Heng alone.

And Zhou Heng froze to death last winter because he was drunk and no one cared about him.

After hearing Zhou Ying's words, Ye Ximing said calmly: "It's useless for you to tell me this."

If Zhou Ran is willing to associate with Zhou Ying, he will naturally not object, but based on his understanding of Zhou Ran, it is impossible for Zhou Ran to renew the sisterly relationship with her.

Ye Ximing was right. After he went home with the bracelet and told Zhou Ran about his meeting with Zhou Ying, Zhou Ran's first reaction was: "I hope she won't come and make her feel uncomfortable."

But Zhou Ying is obviously not a sensible person.

The day after meeting Ye Ximing, Zhou Ying found the door of Ye's courtyard.

Seeing Zhou Ying coming to the door, Zhou Ran didn't even invite anyone in.

Blocking the person directly at the gate, Zhou Ran said bluntly: "What are you doing here?"

Zhou Ying looked at Zhou Ran, who was getting more and more beautiful in front of her, and was stunned for a moment before she said, "We are also sisters after all. We haven't seen each other for such a long time. Why don't you invite your sister to come in and sit down?"

Zhou Ran sneered coldly: "Sisters? There is no sisterly relationship between us. Don't you think this is hypocritical?"

"After all, we all have the blood of the Zhou family flowing in our bodies," Zhou Ying said.

"So what?" Zhou Ran said impatiently: "I don't care, and I don't want to show any sisterly love with you. You don't have to come to me in the future. No matter what your plans are, I won't help you."

Zhou Ying's face changed several times, but she finally tried to calm down and said: "Zhou Ran, don't be arrogant. I am now the concubine of Uncle Cheng'en. If you are willing, we can completely benefit each other."

"unnecessary!"

After Zhou Ran finished speaking, she was too lazy to talk nonsense with Zhou Ying. She turned around and closed the courtyard door in front of Zhou Ying.

The door almost hit Zhou Ying in the face.

Zhou Ying looked at the door panel in front of her. She couldn't hold back her temper any longer. She stretched out her legs and kicked the door hard. There was nothing wrong with the door, but Zhou Ying's feet hurt terribly.

She bared her teeth and cursed a few times. When the maid who was waiting for her asked what to do next, Zhou Ying said angrily: "What else can I do? Of course I go back to the uncle's house."

Now Zhou Ran is no longer the Zhou Ran who was rounded and flattened by her ex before she was married. She is also not the Zhou Ying who used to have the support of Mrs. Zheng and Zhou Heng. Zhou Ran doesn't want to, and she has nothing to do with Zhou Ran. .

It's not that she doesn't want to cause trouble to Zhou Ran and teach Zhou Ran a lesson, but she can't do it.

As soon as Zhou Ying and her maid returned to Uncle Chengen's Mansion, they met Cui Yuzhu who looked depressed.

"I've met Miss Six."

Zhou Ying saluted Cui Yuzhu and was about to leave, but was stopped by Cui Yuzhu who was in a bad mood: "Where is Aunt Ying?"
