Chapter 19: The Ugliness Emerges
Zhuang Meiyan and the others looked up and couldn't help but look at each other. Shu Ji was the male owner of Zhuang Mansion, Zhuang Yuan, and his face was gloomy. This man has always been well-dressed and gentle, but today he has a different face.
"My good daughter. He made a man do such a despicable thing to her mother behind her father's back!"
Zhuang Yuan slowly paced in front of Zhuang Meiyan, and said word by word, sentence by word.
Zhuang Meiyan bit her lower lip hard, and her face turned pale.
The room full of people was overwhelmed by this sudden situation and seemed a little panicked, but Mrs. Zhuang still played with her clothes with a gentle face, and hummed the tune of "National Style" softly in her mouth, which she had just learned from Mr. Feng.
Mr. Feng subconsciously stood in front of her and arched his hand: "Brother Zhuang, I haven't seen you for a long time!
Zhuang Yanyuan showed a look of disdain in his eyes, and said coldly: "You are not dead yet! β
Mr. Feng smiled slightly and said, "I am a dying person, it doesn't matter what you want to do, just don't implicate other people, this matter has nothing to do with them! β
Mr. Feng coughed repeatedly, his wish had been granted, and now he was very calm, even if someone put a knife on his neck, he had no regrets.
Zhuang Yanyuan's eyes finally showed a look of rage, he stepped forward and pushed Mr. Feng away from his wife, Mr. Feng was weak after all, although he had the heart to fight him, but unfortunately he was weak and immediately fell to the ground. Zhuang Yan Yuan raised his foot and kicked over, and Mrs. Zhuang screamed loudly, mixed with continuous coughing and Zheng Yanyuan's scolding, and the room was in chaos.
"Shuang'er, don't be afraid!" Mr. Feng reluctantly raised his arm to resist Zhuang Yanyuan's big feet, he was no longer able to dodge, but he still comforted the woman with a panicked face on his face.
"Enough!
A low shout made the people in the room stunned, and even the angry Zhuang Yan Yuan stopped beating in surprise, and they looked at the owner who gave this order, Zhuang Meiyan.
Zhuang Meiyan's lips pursed slightly, her expression was resolute, and she looked at her father quietly, Zhuang Yanyuan didn't react a little, and looked at her suspiciously, her brows tightened.
"Father, please let them go!"
Zhuang Yanyuan's face became more and more gloomy, and he snorted coldly, "Cheap seed!
Meiyan knew that her father would hate her daughter if she did this, and the daughter just hoped that her father would not make mistakes again and again. Zhuang Meiyan took a deep breath, her thoughts became clearer and clearer, she bravely looked into her father's eyes, and continued: "Mother will become what she is today, who was killed? Father you should know best!"
Zhuang Yan Yuan was shocked when he heard this, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Whether it's nonsense or not, the father himself knows. When the mother suddenly went crazy for no reason after giving birth, it has been found out that it was because she was poisoned, but the poisonβ"
Zhuang Meiyan choked up several times, and finally gritted her teeth and continued.
"The daughter didn't expect that the poison was actually put in the mother's soup bowl by your father. β
Zhuang Yuan's color changed, his palms were raised high, and he wanted to slap Zhuang Meiyan, but he was stopped by Xiao Mo, he was so angry that he spun in place, his face turned into the color of pig liver, his chest rose and fell sharply, and he was emotional.
"Evil obstacle! Evil obstacle! Sure enough, it's a slut who can't be kept! I shouldn't have let that slut give birth to you in the first place!"
Zhuang Zhuang Yuan gritted his teeth and scolded.
The masks of Mr. Daoxue, the benevolent father, and the gentle husband were all torn to shreds in an instant, and his face was now distorted with anger and fear, as terrible as the devil.
Zhuang Meiyan felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and her strong support allowed her to have enough courage to stand in front of her father and tell all the truth. That day in the garden of Zhuangfu, the eldest sister Zhuang Meiyu unintentionally said that someone poisoned her mother's soup bowl back then, Zhuang Meiyan didn't believe it very much, because it was the eldest sister's age of four or five years old at most, she shouldn't remember it so clearly, perhaps, she remembered it wrong.
At this time, the mother-in-law Liu came out from among the flowers, and she told Meiyan in detail about the situation at that time. Liu said that because Zhuang Meiyan's mother had an affair with another man and later married Zhuang Yanyuan, Zhuang Yanyuan held a grudge against it and gave birth to Zhuang Meiyan soon after marriage. For the sake of the family's reputation, Zhuang Yuancai poisoned the Qi family to cover up the truth.
If according to what Liu said, Zhuang Meiyan is most likely not Zhuang Yanyuan's daughter, and Zhuang Yanyuan's words just now also vaguely revealed this meaning.
Zhuang Meiyan sighed softly and said softly, "Father really thinks that Meiyan is not your daughter?"
This sentence was asked without hindrance, and everyone present was taken aback, and Yan Yanyuan didn't expect that the ugly thing he had painstakingly covered up would be exposed on the spot by this unfilial daughter, trembling all over, and he couldn't say a word.
"There is wine here, does the father want to confess his daughter with blood?"
Zhuang Meiyan motioned for Liu Er to pour a glass of wine, took the knife on the table to peel fruit, and swiped it lightly on his index finger, and the blood immediately dripped into the wine. The wine glass was brought to Zhuang Yuan, Zhuang Meiyan said sincerely: "Please father also drop a drop of blood into it, the gods are above, if I Zhuang Meiyan is my father's biological flesh and blood, the two blood are dissolved without distinguishing between you and me; if I am not my father's flesh and blood, then the two drops of blood must not be able to melt together." β
Zhuang Yuan trembled and looked at the wine glass in front of him, the blood in the cup was bright red in color, and it was terrifying. He suddenly raised his hand and knocked the wine glass to the ground, and scolded hatefully: "Cheap seed! How could I Zhuang Zhuang Yuan give birth to such an ugly cheap seed as you! You are by no means my child, you can never be my flesh and blood!
He repeated repeatedly, breathing heavily.
Zhuang Meiyan smiled coldly, revealing a sad expression, and she said calmly: "Father doesn't want to, or doesn't dare?"
"Hahaha!" Mr. Feng laughed, without the slightest smile, his voice was indignant, he suppressed his cough hard, pointed at Zhuang Yanyuan and said: "I laugh at you for being so stupid! You got the best woman in the world but you don't know how to cherish it! You actually hurt her! You dare to hurt her!"
If it weren't for Xiao Mo blocking between them, I'm afraid that Mr. Feng's angry finger would have pointed directly at Yan Yan Yuan's forehead, and maybe he would have pounced further and beat that man, and Zhuang Yan Yuan didn't even seem to have the strength to refute, and sat down in the chair in a dejected manner, panting.
"I have always been innocent with Shuang'er, how can I have an affair! If it weren't for that accident, how could you let this beast marry Shuang'er? You know that you are not worthy of her at all, and you are ashamed of your appearance, so you will be suspicious, you despicable and filthy villain!"
Zhuang Yan Yuan sat in the chair in despair, looking around uncertainly, the eyes around him were either disdainful, disappointed, or indifferent, no one sympathized with him!
"You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense! Frost, Frost, you know, being a husband is never trying to harm you. Frost, frost!"
Zhuang Yuan held his wife Qi's hand tightly in a hurry, and said without hesitation, Qi was so frightened that he retreated again and again, curled up beside Mr. Feng, in order to seek shelter.
"I knew that the person you always thought of was him! Even if you married me, you never liked me in your heart. I just want you to forget him and never think of him again for the rest of your life!"
Zhuang Meiyan saw that her father Yan Yanyuan's eyes were fierce, and his expression was a little unnatural, and she was extremely sad in her heart, how could a child want to see such a situation? She didn't want to stay in this room anymore, and she didn't want to face this man, she turned her head and said to Liu Er: "You help the old lady to go back to the prince's mansion with me!"
"Yes!"
Liu Er was steady, and knew that everyone couldn't stay any longer because of this, so she hurriedly walked towards the door with Mrs. Zhuang's Qi family. Xiao Mo suddenly stepped forward and slammed the door of the room, looking nervous.
She gestured and said, "There's someone out there!"
While gesturing, she turned over and blew out the candles on the table, and at the same time asked everyone to bow down and lie down under the table as much as possible. After the candlelight was extinguished, everyone was surprised to find that many torches were lit outside, forming a situation of encirclement on three sides. The back of the house was against the lake, so it was pitch black.
Zhuang Meiyan pointed to the back hall at Xiao Mo, but Xiao Mo shook his head, and cut down with his hand, indicating that there was also an ambush there. Zhuang Meiyan sighed, first Xiao Mo felt that there were a lot of people around, and they were ready to leave, if it wasn't for the fact that they had been entangled with their father Zhuang Yanyuan for so long, they would have left the Zhuang Mansion now.
Zhuang Meiyan vaguely felt that something was wrong, these people must not be the family members of the Zhuang Mansion, and his father was secretive about this matter, so it was impossible for so many people to come and see the excitement.
Soβ
A male duck's piercing voice sounded outside the door, and he said loudly: "Listen to the people inside, I invite Zhuang Meiyan, the daughter of the Zhuang family, to enter the palace at the behest of the queen's mother, and there is something important to discuss." β
"Princess Fang, please come out and go with the old slave. β
Queen Mother, enter the palace.
Countless thoughts flashed through Zhuang Meiyan's mind, but she couldn't provide any effective information, but one thing she knew very well was that she was running away!
There was a soft sound in the back hall, and a man in black flashed in silently and beckoned to them. Xiao Mo suddenly looked happy when he saw that person, and immediately pulled Zhuang Meiyan to the back hall.
At this time, the people outside the door were already impatient, and the male duck shouted again.
"Princess Fang, if you don't obey the order, you will be blamed on the old slave and you're welcome! Come on, enter the house and invite the Princess Fang out!"
"Slow!" At this critical juncture, Zhuang Meiyan broke free of Xiao Mo's arm, shouted, stood in front of the door and said awe-inspiringly: "This father-in-law, now that the palace gate has been dropped, I am afraid that I can't bring people into the palace based on the queen's will!"
Zhuang Meiyan quickly waved his hand, Xiao Mo had no choice but to quietly take everyone out of the back hall with the man in black, and the man in black used the cover of night to remove all the ambushes in the lake, and then everyone got into the boat prepared by the man in black. Time is of the essence, and the enemy may find them at any time, so they must leave quickly.
Zhuang Meiyan and the father-in-law exchanged a few words, arguing with reason.
"This father-in-law, since that's the case, let's let the charm freshen up. β
As Zhuang Meiyan spoke, he wisely retreated carefully towards the back hall. He had already reached the door of the back hall, and he could jump over the window a few steps away, and the man in black by the window looked nervously outside from time to time, and at the same time stretched out his hand to her, signaling her to hurry.
The people outside said impatiently: "The side princess doesn't have to shirk anymore, don't embarrass the little ones." β
Zhuang Meiyan deliberately sighed loudly and said, "Okay! Liu Er, you help me bring my cloak over, I'll go back as soon as I go, you serve the old lady to sleep first!"
She bought herself one last minute and turned and ran towards the window.
As soon as she ran a step, she tripped under her feet, and someone hugged her legs, Zhuang Meiyan panicked, and immediately fell to the ground, and the man shouted loudly.
"Little slut, where are you going to run?"
It turned out to be her father Yan Yan Yuan! Zhuang Meiyan was shocked and angry, her legs were hugged by Yan Yan Yuan, and she couldn't stand up no matter what.
Seeing this, the man in black raised the sword in his hand and stabbed at Zhuang Yanyuan, Zhuang Meiyan was suddenly shocked, and stood up desperately in front of his father, the man in black could stop the sword momentum, and finally did not hurt her.
"He's my father!
Zhuang Meiyan urged repeatedly.
The door of the house had been pushed open by force, and the soldiers outside rushed in shouting, and the man in black knew that it was too late to rescue Zhuang Meiyan, so he had to jump out of the window, row a small boat and arrow across the lake, and disappear into the darkness.
Zhuang Zhuang Yuan was still holding Zhuang Meiyan's legs tightly, his posture was stiff, and it seemed that it had become a habitual posture and he was unable to get rid of it. They were already surrounded by soldiers, weapons in hand, staring at Zhuang Meiyan with fierce eyes.
Zhuang Meiyan glanced at Zhuang Yanyuan quietly, and sighed: "Whether you admit it or not, like it or not, you are the father of me and my seventh brother, and this cannot be changed." β
After saying this, her body had been lifted from the ground and forcibly taken out of the house. Soon, the soldiers all walked out of the house, leaving Zhuang Yanyuan alone in the house. An old eunuch deliberately glanced back at him after walking out of the door, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhuang, your righteous act, the old slave will definitely show the queen mother when he goes back, you are really loyal to the Wushuang Kingdom!"
The crowd dispersed, and Zhuang Yuan sat in place with a little gaffe, his eyes were blank, and the silence in the room was terrifying, as if he couldn't feel the breath of people.
