The Proud Prince and the Arrogant Princess

After Yun Zhi said this, the two of them looked at the woman worriedly.

"What!" The woman stood up, her face full of shock.

"Well, he's been killed." Yun Zhi repeated her words in a low voice, afraid that she would be shocked.

However, after this woman received another confirmation from Yun Zhi, she stood up and laughed out loud. "Hahaha, hahaha, I'm finally dead. This is great, this is great!"

Seeing her like this, Xue Luoyun and Yun Zhi suspected that she had lost her mind, because she couldn't accept this news for a while, causing her to lose her mind.

"Are you okay?" Xue Ruyun asked with concern. However, the woman ignored them and continued to laugh for a long time. She laughed until she bent down and stopped.

The two of them looked at her in confusion, and only after a long while did they calm down. Her face was filled with pleasant surprise, but not even the slightest hint of sadness could be seen.

"Tell me how he died."

"Uh, the reason is still under investigation, but he was probably killed by someone."

"In that case, both good and evil will be rewarded. It's not that the time for revenge has not come, thank the heavens and thank the earth." After saying this, the woman hurriedly knelt down on the ground, clasped her hands together, and kowtowed a few times.

Seemingly too excited, the woman took a long time before she remembered that Yun Zhi and Xue Ruoyun were present. "I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now." She sat down.

Xue Luoyun shook his head, confused, and asked, "Your husband is dead, and you're still so happy?"

The woman's face darkened. "Although he is my husband, he treats me like an animal. From the day I married him, it was as if I had fallen into a bottomless abyss. I was forced to marry him, ever since he took me in such a despicable way. He ate and gambled, killed and looted, and when he was upset, he punched and kicked me. Look at my whole body, every single part of me was beaten up by him. "

As the woman spoke, she lifted up her sleeves and saw that her body was covered in bruises, each scar a shocking sight to behold.

"As for me, when he was about to leave a few days ago, I was just a bit slower with my shoes, so he grabbed my head and knocked it against the corner of the table. I fainted and he didn't care about it. He just went out and came back in the afternoon and found some gauze and put it on his head. " As the woman spoke, she pressed the gauze over her head again, causing blood to ooze out.

"Aren't you going to see a doctor?" Upon hearing her say this, Xue Ruoyun was shocked beyond belief. She didn't expect the ancient domestic violence to be this serious.

"Without money, how could he have the money to see a doctor? "I just get some herbs every time and apply them myself." The woman said with a wry smile. After so many years, his long illness had made him a good doctor. He also knew which herbs would stop the bleeding and which ones would stop swelling.

"Have you always lived here?" Xue Ruyun asked her, because this house seemed to have been empty for a long time.

"No, I just returned after a long time. I've been living outside for so many years, and I'm used to leaving my hometown. I just returned now, so I miss him a lot." The woman raised her head to look at the dilapidated room and was filled with emotions.

"Oh? "Are you from here before? How could you marry someone like him?"

"Of course I belong here, it's just that I've been gone for many years and have only come back now. When I was washing clothes, I accidentally bumped into my current husband, Yang Er. He was lustful, and he spoke less lightly than I did. I complained to Miss, oh, the current Lady Xue. Not only did she not speak out on my behalf, she even forcefully betrothed me to him. " Recalling the actions of the Zhao family back then, this woman still harbored many grudges in her heart. It was no wonder that all the hardships she had endured all these years originated from the Zhao Family.

"What is his relationship with your young lady? "How could they defend him like this?" Xue Luoyun felt very strange, as if there was something unusual about it.

"I'm not too sure either. I think he's a relative. Anyway, they didn't know what they were plotting during that period, so the Lady gave me to him as a bargaining chip. "

As Xue Muyun expected, Yang Er and the Zhao Family had been at each other's throats for many years. No wonder this person would come to find her now.

"I heard that he was doing something for the young lady. Later on, he completed something and received a large amount of silver. The house we lived in at that time was okay. However, they must have done something shameful, so the young miss told him to take the money and leave, and not to come back. "

"It seems this matter is not that simple." From this, it could be said that the Zhao Family did some shameful things all those years ago, which was why they let Second Yang escape.

"Originally, we wouldn't have had to worry about money in our lifetime, but this Yang Er never did any work. He ate all day long, drank all day long, and gambled all day long. He soon ran out of money. He was addicted to alcohol again and his life gradually became more and more difficult. I only rely on some of my previous craftsmanship to sew, wash some clothes, and change some household. However, all of them were taken by him. In the past few years, he hasn't been able to stay in the outside world any longer, so he brought me back here to earn money. "

"How do I earn it?" Can he settle down to work? " Xue Luoyun didn't believe it at all.

"I don't know. He returned to his original residence not long ago and drank wine that day. He excitedly said that he would go and get a large amount of silver, so he won't have to worry about it in the future. In the end, he never came back."

"Oh, no wonder you were so surprised when you saw us take out his portrait. So you already know in your heart that he won't do anything proper?"

"All these years, he's been doing all sorts of things. It was common for people to visit him often to collect debts. But there were many times when he went to the authorities and took him to prison, even suspecting that I was in the same group, and tortured me, so I was very afraid. "

"Then you never thought of running away?"

"Initially, I had thought about it. However, every time I ran away, I would always be caught by him. Every time, I would be beaten up. He broke my waist twice and nearly paralyzed my lower body. I really didn't dare to run anymore. All these years, I have been humiliated. Now that he is dead, and my suffering has come to an end, I can be considered relieved. " As the woman spoke, tears of joy flowed down her face.

After the two of them finished listening, they also felt great sympathy for this woman.

"I didn't expect Yang Er to be such a bad guy. He deserved to die." Yun Zhi patted the woman on the shoulder to comfort her.

"Think about it, what kind of good person would be able to interact with someone like the Zhao Clan?" Xue Luoyun had guessed this long ago.

"You know my Miss?" The woman was puzzled.

"She's our Young Miss's concubine?" Yun Zhi quickly introduced Xue Luoyun's identity.

"Oh, so that means you're Miss Xue. You've already grown up. She's as beautiful as your mother. " The woman stood up and looked around Xue Luoyun, clicking her tongue in praise.

"You know my mother?" Xue Ruyun excitedly asked. He thought that he had met an old friend.

"I've seen her once or twice. At that time, I accompanied her on the street, and when I saw her bringing you along, her beauty really caused everyone to raise their eyebrows in surprise. However, Miss always looks down on him and says that sooner or later, the position of Lady Xue will belong to her. " When the woman thought back, she could still clearly remember Mrs Zhao's face full of jealousy.

"What, she's so sure?" Upon hearing these words, it seemed as if they were only the words of jealousy spoken by a woman, but they also contained a lot of useful information. Xue Ruyun felt that the matters behind this seemed more and more bizarre, more and more like they were hiding some sort of conspiracy.

"In the end, she really did become Second Madam Xue." The woman recalled that at that time, she was still a servant girl, but she did not marry into the Xue Residence.

"Could it be that this matter is related to my mother?" Xue Luoyun was startled, but she remembered that her mother, the Han Family, had died of an illness. Mu Zheng had also said this, so it was possible that they had died of depression. Besides, even if the Zhao Clan had some tricks up their sleeves, if they didn't enter the Xue Residence by then, they wouldn't have any interaction with the Han Clan, and they still wouldn't be able to harm her. The more he thought about it, the more strange it felt. He faintly felt that many things were off.

The two talked with the woman for a long time, but still didn't get any useful information. When the woman heard that her husband was dead, she was extremely happy. She cleaned up the house all by herself, and from then on, she could live a peaceful life.
