Chapter Twenty-Nine: An Inexplicable Accusation

After they left the asylum, Shuqing invited the director's wife to her house to sit, and when they returned home, Li Zhen and Jin Peng were sitting in the courtyard, Li Zhen was sitting on a somewhat broken rattan chair, and Jin Peng was sitting on a slightly higher bench, and he propped up his two hands on the bench, bent over slightly, and looked at Li Zhen. The two seemed to be arguing fiercely about something. As soon as they approached, they stopped. The director's wife looked at Shuqing, with a look of surprise and surprise in her eyes, and Shuqing pinched her wrist to show that she understood her thoughts. Anyone in the town, as long as they have seen Jinpeng, they will be shocked when they see Li Zhen again, her changes are really too great. Shuqing smiled.

"Aunt Shuqing!" Jin Peng was the first to stand up, he greeted Shuqing politely, and looked at the director's wife next to her. Shuqing nodded at him, and immediately looked at Li Zhen again, Li Zhen didn't seem to see them, she sat in the rattan chair angrily, her eyes staring away.

"This is my friend, Aunt Xie. We just got back from the madhouse. Shuqing looked at Jinpeng. "Oh, to visit an old friend. The director's wife added. "When you're old, anything will come out. ”

"Hello, Aunt Xie!--Li Zhen!" Jin Peng reached out and shook hands with the director's wife, then turned his head to look at Li Zhen. When he called Li Zhen, he could hear that his patience was almost at the limit, but he tried his best to endure it.

Li Zhen didn't react to the anger in Jinpeng's tone, she stood up expressionlessly, ready to walk towards the house. At this moment, the director's wife took two steps forward and looked at Li Zhen. "Are you An Xiaowen's daughter?" she said. "I've never heard you mention your mother!"

Li Zhen stopped, she turned her head to look at the director's wife, with a look of contempt on her face.

"What's the matter, Mrs. Director doesn't know that I'm An Xiaowen's daughter?" she said. The sound came almost from her nasal cavity.

The director's wife looked a little embarrassed, she uncomfortably crossed her hands together (before she was naturally hanging on her sides), she could certainly hear the sarcasm in Li Zhen's tone. She wasn't so polite to her back then.

"Of course, how would I know, Shuqing only told me yesterday. The director's wife said that she had regained her dignity and majesty. "Is your mother okay?" she added. But her greeting sounded like saying, "Is your mother dead?"

"Thank you for your concern, she couldn't be better. Li Zhen turned to look at the director's wife, and she almost gritted her teeth at the last few words. Of course she knew the director's wife. High up, a hypocritical woman who represents authority and cannot be beaten. As a shameless old woman who wants to build a tree archway, she has not forgotten the good things she has done. She didn't know how a simple old woman like Shuqing could be friends with such a scheming old woman, but they hadn't seen each other for so many years, and of course they wouldn't know what good things she had done. At this time, a picture suddenly flashed in her mind, if Shuqing knew what she had done, would they still be good friends. Thinking of this, she suddenly laughed, and then walked past the director's wife to Shuqing's side, she smiled and hugged Shuqing's arm.

"Aunt Shuqing, I am very familiar with the director's wife, and I have lived here for many years, thanks to her care. She said. The laughter is very evil. "Otherwise, I would have died in the interrogation room of the Longmen police station. She laughed again, and looked at the director's wife defiantly.

"Oh, is it? what's going on? It's so serious?" Shuqing looked at Li Zhen with interest, waiting for her next words. "What would get you to go to the interrogation room?" she added. The eyes glanced at the director's wife suspiciously, and saw that she was still expressionless, standing there proudly like a noble lady. For a moment, she felt that the director's wife had become a person she didn't know, and she didn't know if it was really as Li Zhen hinted at, that rights change a person, and rights can easily change a person. It will make you surrender to it, become its puppet, do everything it wants to do for it, and even lose your humanity.

Li Zhen didn't answer Shuqing, she was suddenly stunned. Her eyes were misty, her pupils dilated, as if she was thinking about how to answer, or thinking about something else. Suddenly she said, "Oh, because her husband wants to get his hands on me." ”

This sentence was like a bomb suddenly bursting in the middle of them, and everyone at the scene was injured to varying degrees. The first thing to show was of course the director's wife, I saw that her face was white, her shoulders were shaking, and she was trying her best to restrain her anger. Shuqing was even more shocked and speechless, she was regretting at the moment that she had invited the director's wife to come. She remembered Mrs. Ann's words again: "You have to be careful of her, she is sometimes very unmeasured. ”

"I don't think you have met her husband yet, that director!" Li Zhen didn't feel like she had dropped a bomb at all. She said calmly. "Oh, maybe you've seen it when you're younger, whatever it was when you're young, and when he's in his 40s, indeed—oh, how to say—he's short and fat, with a huge belly on his waist, long arms that don't fit for his figure, and a moment's great bald head. Oh - he looks, like- like - oh, yes, like a beetle. After Li Zhen finished speaking, she burst out laughing. "An old thing that's ugly wants to get his hands on me. Suddenly she snorted again, with a look of disgust. "Only our noble lady likes him so much, but he doesn't cherish it—" she laughed wickedly again.

For a moment, Shuqing thought that Li Zhen was making up a trumped-up story, but she saw the anger and humiliated expression in the eyes of the director's wife. If it is unwarranted, then there is no need to make such a big fuss, she told her that Li Zhen is sick.

At this time, Jinpeng stepped forward, put his arm around Li Zhen's shoulder, and tried to bring her into the house. "Li Zhen, mom has something to look for you, you have to call her now. He said. Then he looked at Shuqing and the director's wife with a slight apology. Li Zhen broke free of Jinpeng's arm and stood in front of the director's wife. "He doesn't value you, he says you're just a victim of power. You're the victim!" she said, looking serious and serious. With that, she turned and walked into the somewhat dark room.

Shuqing stood there stiffly, listening, her expression was serious, she tried her best to understand the meaning of Li Zhen's last words, she must have other meanings, there must be. She looked at the director's wife, as if waiting for something. But the director's wife just turned her body slowly, she also looked at Shuqing, her eyes were dull, and the anger just now was completely gone. "Shuqing—" She called softly, as if she was about to faint.
