The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 305: Apology and Self-torture

Zheng waited in the private room for a long time before finally seeing Zheng Yan'er pushing the door open.

She originally thought that Zheng Yan'er would be domineering when they met, but she didn't expect that the other party was only wearing a lotus-colored long skirt, and as soon as she saw Zheng, she immediately knelt down to her.

"Aunt, Yan'er is sorry!"

Zheng was stunned in place. After coming to her senses, she said in a cold voice: "I can't accept your gift. We have already severed our relationship..."

"Aunt, I was too confused before and made such a mistake. Since leaving the imperial city, I gradually came to my senses and realized how good you were to me. I have always felt extremely guilty, but I never had the chance to apologize to you. Now we finally meet again, Aunt, I am really sorry."

Zheng Yan'er interrupted Zheng and her apology sounded sincere and heartfelt, especially the look she gave Zheng was full of guilt.

"Aunt, I know I shouldn't ask for your forgiveness, but after leaving the Imperial City, I really suffered a lot and almost lost my life. At that time, what I regretted most was that I failed your kindness."

Zheng Yan'er spoke with tears in her eyes and was very sincere.

Zheng's originally stiff face showed some surprise when she heard Zheng Yan'er say that she almost lost her life, and she asked subconsciously.

"What happened? Didn't you return home? How did you almost lose your life?"

Zheng Yan'er took a deep breath, looking sad.

"Aunt, the people you sent left after sending me home, so you naturally don't know what happened next. My parents felt that I had offended you and were very angry. Not only did they take away all the money and things I brought back, they also beat me up and locked me up in the woodshed. I begged them desperately, but they didn't show any mercy. I suffered a lot in the woodshed, and later I learned that my father wanted to sell me to a man with tuberculosis and marry him to bring good luck."

"Impossible!" Zheng looked at Zheng Yan'er suspiciously, "After all, they are your parents. They have loved you since you were a child. How could they do that?"

"That was in the past. When our family had money, my parents were really good to me, but things gradually changed. The last time I went back, I found that my father had become addicted to gambling. He only wanted to get money and then go gambling. He is no longer the same as before."

Zheng Yan'er had a bitter look on her face. She glanced at Zheng secretly, and seeing that the other party still had some doubts, she continued.

"After I learned about the wedding, I tried to escape from the woodshed, but my father found me and chased me with his men. After catching up with me, he even stabbed me with a knife in order to force me to go back and get married."

As she spoke, Zheng Yan'er pulled up her sleeves, revealing a long scar on them.

Zheng looked at the scar in surprise, "This..."

"My father chopped this. We were on a hillside at the time. My arm was chopped and I fell down in panic. He probably thought I was dead from the fall, so he did it."

"What happened next? How did you survive?" Zheng asked.

"I was lucky enough not to die. I was saved by my current husband. He healed my wounds. I had nowhere else to go, so I had no choice but to marry him."

"Then your father never contacted you again?" Zheng asked.

"No, I asked someone to find out later. He was probably worried that the news of my death would spread and cause trouble, so he announced that I was missing. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to check."

Zheng Yan'er lowered her head with a gleam in her eyes. When she looked up again, she looked pitiful again.

"Aunt, I will definitely never see my parents again. You are the only relative I can see now. I know I did a lot of wrong things before, but I still beg you to accept me as your niece again."

Zheng looked at Zheng Yan'er in silence, her complicated eyes fell on the scar, she took a deep breath and looked away.

"I didn't come here today to listen to your apology. If you really want to repent, why did you go to provoke Sui Ning?"

"Provocation?" Zheng Yan'er was stunned. "I didn't! Aunt, I just learned that Jiang Suining was in the teahouse, so I wanted to meet her. No, actually I didn't want to meet her either, I just wanted to test your attitude through her. I want to meet you, but I'm worried that you don't want to see me."

"Do you mean that you have no ill will towards Sui Ning and the Jiang family?" Zheng looked at Zheng Yan'er.

The latter's mind turned quickly, "Of course not, I really want to apologize to you this time. I don't know what Jiang Suining said to you, but I really just met her once, and I didn't have any bad intentions. As for the Jiang family, I really want to apologize, otherwise, why would I send someone to send a gift on the first day of the new year."

"You still have the nerve to mention a gift? The Buddha statue is broken. You are deliberately bringing bad luck to the Jiang family on New Year's Day!" Zheng said unhappily.

Zheng Yan'er looked at Zheng in surprise, "What? Broken? How could it be? When I asked someone to deliver it to me, it was clearly fine!"

"You're trying to pretend you know nothing!"

"Aunt, I really didn't. I really want to apologize. If not, why would I say this to you, Aunt?"

Zheng Yan'er continued to kneel on the ground and kowtowed to Zheng.

"I know I have done many wrong things, but now I have truly repented, Auntie, please believe me for once."

"You really didn't mean to do that with the Buddha statue?"

"I can swear to God, aunt, please don't doubt me like this." Zheng Yan'er's face was full of bitterness and grievance.

Seeing this, Zheng frowned and a look of hesitation appeared on her face.

"The damage to the Buddha statue seems to be man-made. If it wasn't you, could it have been damaged during the delivery process?"

Zheng Yan'er responded immediately, "It's very likely. I will investigate carefully and give you an explanation after finding out everything!"

Zheng looked at Zheng Yan'er who was still kneeling on the ground. She was silent for a long time, and finally spoke.

"Stand up, no need to kneel. What happened before is over. I came here today because I hope you won't go against Sui Ning and the Jiang family. If you really don't have such intentions, we can just keep out of each other's way in the future."

"Aunt, what you said means that you still don't forgive me."

Zheng Yan'er stared at Zheng, and seeing that she refused to give in, she gritted her teeth, pulled out the hairpin on her head, and stabbed her arm with it.

Zheng was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "What are you doing!"

"Since I have done something wrong, I must be punished. Auntie, you don't have to stop me. This is what I deserve."

As she spoke, Zheng Yan'er pulled out the hairpin and stabbed her arm again...
