Chapter 152 What's Left to Lose
Yang Zhiyuan was naturally willing to do so.
Although he and Han Xinru were secretly hooking up for other purposes, since it had been exposed by the Fourth Master Qin, this was the best way to resolve the matter between him and Han Xinru.
But the Han family was unwilling.
The Han family now has only one third young lady.
Being raised under the name of a stepmother means that she has the word "legitimate". Although the Han family is not as good as the Yang family, it is still one of the top five families in Jiazhou. How can the legitimate daughter of the Han family marry the son of the Yang family as a concubine?
No matter what, she has to be a co-wife!
The Qin family was angry!
The Han family is so shameless. Their daughter had an affair with someone without a matchmaker, bringing shame to the whole city. Now she wants to be his concubine. Isn't this trampling on the Qin family's face?
The fourth master Qin has spoken. Either Han Xinru will be made a lowly concubine, with her indentures held in the hands of her mistress.
Or, let Yang Zhiyuan and Qin Shuang divorce, and their Qin family can afford to raise their daughter!
How could the Han family agree to that?
Now, the pressure was put on the Yang family.
Yang Zhiyuan would not be willing to divorce Qin Shuang, not even to divorce his wife.
Because he still wanted to hold the entire Qin family in his hands.
The Qin family only has this fourth son Qin, who is also an adopted son, so the Qin family values Yang Zhiyuan as a son-in-law. Now they have another plan, and it is still unclear whether the head of the Qin family will come back. As long as the head of the Qin family gets into trouble, it will be easy to drive away the fourth son Qin, the adopted son, and annex the Qin family.
The fourth son of the Qin family was furious, and he took a large group of people to take Qin Shuang back to the Qin family and also took away Qin Shuang's dowry.
The Yang family was also furious.
Yang Xiansheng gritted his teeth. No matter how many secrets the Yang family had, now that the Qin family was doing this, it was inevitable that the two families would become enemies.
He is now dealing with the Luo family, and this incident has disrupted his plans.
Yang Xiansheng was angry and depressed, and at this time, his carriage hit someone.
Yang Xiansheng got off the carriage to check the situation. A woman was knocked to the ground by the right shaft of the carriage. The woman had almond eyes and rosy cheeks, and she looked weak and fragile. She looked broken, which made people feel a sense of pity from the bottom of their hearts.
Yang Xiansheng was full of impatience, but faced with such a face, he still couldn't say anything unpleasant. He asked in a deep voice: "How is the injury? Send him to the hospital!"
The woman shook her head gently: "No need, I was in a hurry to get on my way, I didn't mean to bump into you, please don't blame me!" After saying that, she stood up with difficulty and limped away.
Watching her figure disappear into the distance, Yang Xiansheng withdrew his gaze and rode the carriage back home.
He went to the dungeon.
In just two days, Mrs. Hu in the dungeon had changed drastically. She was no longer as glamorous as before. She looked panic-stricken and listless, with dust all over her body. She looked disheveled, like a puppet whose energy had been drained away.
When the light came in, she seemed to have strength and grabbed the fence with both hands.
Anyone who is locked up in a dark place, with no light, no companions, only endless darkness, she knows there is a pool not far away, and there are flesh-eating monsters in the pool, but she doesn't know what else.
Because I don’t know, I’m even more scared.
Shock, panic, helplessness, fear, despair...
All these emotions were almost torturing her to the point of collapse.
However, when Yang Xiansheng appeared, when the light finally appeared, she stared at the man who looked down upon her from above, with a blazing fire of hatred burning in her eyes. Her lips were as dry as the withered grass in the desert, and she uttered a few words with difficulty: "You will be punished..."
Yang Xiansheng just sneered: "Retribution? Why? Because I killed your bastard and your adulterer? You should be thankful that you still have two sons. It is because of them that you can still stand here alive!"
His eyes stared at Hu like a poisonous snake, making her tremble involuntarily, her heart filled with fear and terror, but more of unwillingness.
She was unwilling to be trampled under the feet of this man. Why did he kill someone but nothing happened? Her cousin was a good person, and Xiao Qi had called him dad for so long!
Her hands were clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, and her body was shaking with anger.
Yang Xiansheng sneered: "Are you still waiting for the Hu family to rescue you?" He threw a letter over.
With the help of the light from the lamp, Mrs. Hu picked it up with shaking hands. It turned out to be a letter severing the relationship between father and daughter.
She slowly opened the letter and scanned the words on it. Every word was like a sharp blade piercing her heart.
"Severing the father-daughter relationship..." She whispered softly, her voice revealing endless sadness. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she tried hard to hold them back.
Hu's body was trembling slightly and she felt a chill coming over her.
She sat there blankly, the light flickering around her, the weak light illuminating her pale face. Her eyes became empty, as if she had lost her soul. This letter not only severed her relationship with her father, but also took away the hope and support in her heart.
The lights enveloped her, but could not warm her cold heart.
Suddenly, she laughed miserably again. She should have expected this result.
In her father's eyes, she was always just a tool, a tool that could bring him benefits and glory. Her feelings, her wishes, her happiness were not worth mentioning in her father's eyes.
At the beginning, she and her cousin were obviously in love with each other, but her father only wanted to marry her to the Yang family to gain benefits.
After becoming the mistress of the Yang family, her father showed her love and smiles, as if the father was kind and the daughter was filial. But all that was fake, just because she could bring benefits to the Hu family.
If she does anything that might affect the interests of the Hu family, she will be ruthlessly abandoned.
She gritted her teeth: "What do you want to say?"
Yang Xiansheng stared at her with sinister eyes: "Your stupid son got involved with the girl from the Han family and was caught in the act. The scandal spread all over the city, all because of a mother like you!"
Mrs. Hu was stunned for a moment, and said coldly: "What's the point of you telling me? He is bringing shame to your Yang family. I am a person who has been locked up here without seeing the sun, what do I have to lose?"
"That's true!" Yang Xiansheng suddenly smiled sinisterly, "I will not let go of anyone who goes against my Yang family and me, Yang Xiansheng! I won't let you die. I will let you watch me prosper and watch my Yang family rise to greater heights. I will give you another surprise in a few days!"
After saying that, he laughed and turned away.
A man in gray threw over two dry and hard steamed buns and a water bag, and then left.
The light disappeared again, and darkness appeared again.
Even though Mrs. Hu was extremely hungry and thirsty, she had no appetite to touch the steamed buns and water.
Surprise, what other surprises will she have?
Yang Xiansheng was obviously speaking in a sarcastic way.
She thought of something, her pupils tightened, extreme panic and fear seized her whole heart, she rushed to the fence, grabbed it with both hands, and screamed at the top of her lungs: "Yang Xiansheng, let me out, let me out!"
In the endless darkness, only her voice echoed.
