"As the saying goes, when a person falls down, he should get up from there. Don't you want to stand upright in front of everyone one day, so that those who have underestimated you can only look up to you?" Mu Ci continued to guide.
Zhou Zhen frowned: "I, can I?"
People are born with distinctions between high and low, and she has long accepted her fate over the years. She once resisted, but in exchange for more harsh abuse, she once did not dare to ask for too much, as long as she could survive.
Sometimes she thought about giving up, but she was afraid of death.
Fast forward all these years, and she is living like a human being or a dog until today.
"If you want, you can, because you still have me." The smile on Mu Ci's face became gentler: "Can you trust sister?"
"Of course I believe it, sister is the most powerful person in this world." Zhou Zhen nodded vigorously.
"That's alright. Let's go to the west courtyard to explore the way today. Just stay with your sister. As long as she is here, no one will dare to bully you."
Looking at Mu Ci's warm smile, Zhou Zhen finally nodded.
Her sister is so powerful, who would dare to bully her easily? She wants to be a brave child, and she also wants to be as powerful as her sister one day.
Half an hour later, in the west courtyard.
This is the courtyard complex of Dafang. Zhou Zhen was born here, tortured here, and grew up here.
When she returned to the west courtyard, she still felt chilly.
As if he knew the shadow in her heart, Mu Ci held her hand tightly and gave her a comforting look.
Zhou Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and told herself not to be afraid. Now that she has a sister, since her sister brought her here, no one would dare to attack her easily again.
Aunt Wu was the first to receive the news and knew that Mu Ci was bringing Zhou Zhen to the West Courtyard.
She had never met Mu Ci before, but she only knew that he was a respected guest of the old master and someone whom the young master valued. She would not quarrel with such a person unless necessary.
But Mother Feng is the person in charge of her Shuiting Pavilion. On weekdays, no one in Shuiting Pavilion respects Mother Feng.
It just so happened that her nanny, who was in charge, was beaten to death by Mu Ci. How could she swallow such a sigh of relief?
This time Mu Ci came to her door, she naturally wanted to kill Mu Ci's majesty.
But she didn't expect that the moment she met Mu Ci's eyes, she could not breathe smoothly and was so suppressed by Mu Ci's powerful aura that she could not move.
Even when facing someone as difficult as the old lady, she has never been in such embarrassment.
"Are you Miss Qu?" Aunt Wu finally found her voice. Thinking that she was here to destroy Mu Ci's prestige, she naturally couldn't be weaker than this woman in terms of momentum.
"Well, who are you?" Mu Ci's cold eyes were fixed on Aunt Wu's pretty face.
She is good-looking, but has a bad heart. Among those who have treated Zhou Zhen harshly over the years, Aunt Wu is indispensable for causing trouble.
"Sister, this is Aunt Liu." Zhou Zhen whispered to clear up Mu Ci's confusion.
The corners of Mu Ci's lips curved slightly: "It turns out that Mother Feng, whose leg was broken, is the dog raised by Mrs. Liu."
Aunt Liu didn't expect Mu Ci to speak so rudely.
In the whole West Courtyard, although she is not as good as the one in the main garden, she is still the one who is favored by the uncle. Even the Wang family, wouldn't they respect her when they see her on weekdays?
Why is this young, smelly girl talking so frivolously?
"You, who do you think you are, dare to be so rude to me?" Aunt Liu was originally a sharp-tongued person, but now she suddenly turned into a big-tongued person.
"I've always been unreasonable." Mu Ci looked at Chen's mother and said, "Go ahead and show Mrs. Liu how rude I am."
Rather than saying that she came to explore the road today, it would be better to say that she came to avenge Ah Zhen.
It had been a long, long time since she had had such a bloody spirit, so eager to seek justice for a person.
In the past few days, she had heard a lot from Ah Zhen's mouth, and she had memorized the relationships between the characters, so she naturally knew who Ah Zhen's biggest enemy was.
Mother Chen bowed her head in response, went to Aunt Liu, and slapped her ears hard a few times.
Mother Chen thought that was all, but she slapped her several times and Mu Ci showed no sign of stopping, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to hit Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu never expected that Mu Ci would be so arrogant and unreasonable. She was beaten until her nose was bruised and her face was swollen, and her mouth was bloody.
After about dozens of palms, Mu Ci finally spoke with compassion: "It's so pitiful. You can stop."
Aunt Liu's face had been beaten into a twisted shape. She was thrown to the ground by Mother Chen, "Reverse, reverse, reverse..."
How dare this stinky girl humiliate her like this.
Mu Ci looked at Zhou Zhen: "Azhen, tell me, what crimes have you suffered here?"
Zhou Zhen was already dumbfounded, and she was honest. When Mu Ci asked, she told the truth.
The other bits and pieces were nothing more than being beaten and starved, but what she will remember forever is probably the fact that she was thrown into a water tank on a cold day and was not fished out until she fainted.
Mu Ci sneered when he heard this: "Who are the perpetrators? Ah Zhen, point it out to my sister."
Zhou Zhen pointed timidly at two maids and a mother-in-law.
Of course, Aunt Liu was the main messenger and she played an indispensable role.
Mu Ci soon saw the water tank Zhou Zhen was talking about.
When Mother Chen saw an old woman about to leave, she stepped forward, picked up the old woman, and threw her into the water tank.
On such a cold day, staying in the water tank is undoubtedly asking for death, but neither the maid nor Aunt Liu could escape the clutches of Mother Chen and were thrown into the water tank.
Every time they thought about coming out of the water tank, they were pushed back into the water tank by Mother Chen. This cycle continued, and their iron-clad bodies couldn't bear it, let alone the delicate and expensive Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu couldn't bear it at first and soon lost consciousness.
As for the mother-in-law and the maid, they eventually passed out under such inhuman torture.
It created a scene of chaos and chaos, but there was no water stain on Mrs. Chen's body.
Mu Ci saw it and thought to herself that Mother Chen's kung fu was really good, otherwise Xiao Ziyan would not have placed her beside her.
The commotion in Shuiting Pavilion quickly attracted the aunts from other courtyards in the west courtyard. Wang and Zhou Yueting from the main courtyard also came after hearing the news. The nursing home also hurried over after hearing the news.
But Wang didn't speak, and the nursing staff didn't dare to take action casually.
Especially when he saw Mother Chen's powerful skills, the nurse was not blind. He naturally knew that Mother Chen's kung fu was very powerful and did not dare to provoke her easily.
Seeing that the person was finally fished out of the water tank, Mrs. Wang looked at Mu Ci and said, "Any grudges between Miss Qu and Ms. Liu can be told openly. It's too unkind to be cruel to Ms. Liu in this way.
…”
"Honest?!" Mu Ci turned to look at Wang.
I saw Mrs. Wang wearing a primrose-colored embroidered jacket and a gold silk brocade horse-faced skirt underneath. She had exquisite makeup, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and she looked like the head of a house.
