Chapter 815: Chapter 818: Will Not Let You Go
Qiao Duo’er chided, "If you make fun of me again, be careful I dock your pay!"
"Even if you dock my pay, I can’t tell blatant lies. Look at all the men in the village, who loves their wife as much as Fourth Master?"
Almond had come to see Duo’er as a friend and spoke much more freely with her.
"Hmph, it’s not even certain it will be born, and even if it is born, it’s not guaranteed to be a living one!"
A gloomy voice suddenly rang out.
Qiao Duo’er turned her head and took a careful look before recognizing the speaker. This slovenly woman was Zheng Shi!
Once the Xiao Family was very prestigious, and at that time Zheng Shi was full of pride, looking down on everyone.
But now, she appeared completely downcast and dark, a stark transformation from before.
Almond stepped in front of her mistress, "You’re a woman too. How can you say something so vicious to a pregnant woman?"
Did she not understand what children meant to a woman?
"Hmph, what good end can there be for a malicious person? Even their descendants suffer retribution!" Zheng Shi’s gaze was as cold and ruthless as that of a venomous snake.
Almond shivered involuntarily, but she still bravely shielded Qiao Duo’er even more tightly.
If this madwoman dared to come any closer, she wouldn’t be polite with the sickle in her hand!
"The Xiao Family is the best example," Qiao Duo’er said slowly.
This statement was like a sharp knife stabbing into Zheng Shi’s heart. In her youth, she had indeed done things that defied the heavens, bringing harm to others. Could the various misfortunes of the Xiao Family truly be karmic retribution?
No, that family was still living well now, and her hands were clean of blood.
So it definitely wasn’t her fault!
Zheng Shi growled, "It’s all your fault, they’re lying in jail, hungry and cold, why are you still alive?"
"I think you deserve to die too. If you had told Xiao Biyu not to covet someone else’s man from the start, wouldn’t everything have been fine? If you had realized that Xiao Biyu got what she deserved, would Xiao Lingchuan have kidnapped the Tan Family girls?"
Qiao Duo’er counterattacked. Hadn’t the two tragedies made Zheng Shi comprehend some things?
Xiao Biyu couldn’t get Tan Zhenghong, so she wanted to harm others with a poisonous snake.
Xiao Lingchuan, driven by vengeance, didn’t hesitate to kidnap the Tan Family’s two girls.
Both the son and daughter were so vile in their methods, was it not related to their upbringing?
Zheng Shi’s expression flickered momentarily, then returned to its usual indifference. Qiao Duo’er was only saying this to absolve herself of guilt.
Looking at Qiao Duo’er, Zheng Shi found her detestable.
But when she saw Almond, she felt a chill in her heart, because the sickle in Almond’s hand had just been sharpened, razor-sharp and capable of killing effortlessly.
"As long as I’m alive, I will never let you off!" Zheng Shi left brusquely after dropping this threatening remark.
She didn’t want to die, but she would find other ways to deal with Qiao Duo’er.
With her around, Qiao Duo’er better not dream of giving birth to this child without trouble!
Almond said worriedly, "Madam, should we inform Fourth Master? I always feel she might harm you."
"No need, I’ll ask Lao Guang to keep an eye on Zheng Shi, and you be careful while at home too," Qiao Duo’er instructed.
Lao Guang was always loitering around the village with nothing to do. He was perfect for this task.
A little incentive, and he would make sure to handle everything neatly.
Almond nodded, "You also need to be careful. Make sure to call me when you go out, and never go alone."
"She’s far from being able to touch me. Don’t worry," Qiao Duo’er said confidently.
She felt she could handle an old village woman.
The reason she wanted Lao Guang to watch Zheng Shi was that she suspected Zheng Shi had other secrets.
She hadn’t missed the brief flicker of panic in Zheng Shi’s eyes just now. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
