Zhao Ji's forehead twitched, and after reacting, he imdiately shouted at his son, "What are you standing there for? Your Third Sister rembers you, but you just stand there. Hurry up and see your sister!"
The First Lady also reacted, quickly stepping forward to support the crying Mrs. Wang, "Sister-in-law, this is a good thing. Earlier, I was worried that Third Lady wouldn't rember anyone. Seeing her like this, she's improving. She even rembers her brother now, and next she should rember you."
Mrs. Wang held Zhao Hanzhang tightly, crying, "If rembering the past is this painful, I would rather she never rembers."
What a lie. Does Third Lady look like she fainted because she rembered Zhao Dalang in a good way? It's clearly because Zhao Dalang bullied her before.
Although she doesn't rember how Zhao Dalang bullied Third Lady, since Third Lady said it happened, then it did.
Third Lady isn't really amnesiac.
That's right, Mrs. Wang also doesn't believe her daughter is amnesiac. After all, she can rember her and Second Son, and recognize the people around her like Ting He and Qing Gu, just her reactions are a bit slower than before.
But she hit her head, broke her leg, it's normal to have a slow reaction amidst sadness and pain.
Amnesia can be faked, but vomiting and turning pale can't. Mrs. Wang touched Zhao Hanzhang's hair, her heart aching as tears fell drop by drop, "Child, I only wish for you and Second Son to be safe, healthy, and happy, I don't demand anything else."
Mrs. Wang doesn't fully understand her daughter's intentions, but her speech before fainting, pointing at Zhao Yi, clearly expressed discontent with the second house.
When it cos to discontent, Mrs. Wang has long accumulated a bellyful, but always restrained herself due to her father-in-law, and previously her daughter always persuaded her, so she endured.
This ti, since the second house incited Second Son to go out of town, causing her two children to nearly perish, she thoroughly hates them.
It's just because her father-in-law hadn't changed his mind, he still wants to pass the title to the second house, in the future they would have to be at their rcy, so she forced herself to endure.
Now even her daughter has rebelled, Mrs. Wang couldn't suppress her resentnt, she turned and grabbed Zhao Yi, who had been pushed up by Zhao Ji.
"Dalang, your Third Sister is a year younger than you. If she has done anything wrong, tell and I'll punish her, but please don't scare her," Mrs. Wang cried, "In the future, this whole house will be yours. We widows and orphans only ask for a bowl to drink, for a peaceful life, dare not contend for anything with you."
Zhao Ji and Mrs. Wu turned livid from Mrs. Wang's sarcastic comnts. Zhao Ji couldn't resist, and shouted, "Sister-in-law, what do you an by this?"
Mrs. Wang shrank back, pulling Zhao Erlang and Zhao Hanzhang into her arms, the three of them huddled together, not daring to cry loudly, "Elder Brother...I, I, said sothing wrong..."
Zhao Ji's whole face turned dark, but in the eyes of the servants, the lord seed even more terrifying.
The First Lady, Mrs. Wu, saw the servants' frightened expressions, she imdiately reacted, quickly stepping forward to comfort Mrs. Wang, "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? They are siblings, of the sa bloodline, in the future will help each other, be kind and loving."
Mrs. Wang lowered her eyes, her voice low, "Elder Sister-in-law is right, I don't ask for anything else, I only wish for the safety of my two children."
She tightened her hold on the two children, recalling how Third Lady was sent back covered in blood, her breath weak, on the verge of death, she straightened her back slightly, lifting her gaze to Mrs. Wu, her eyes fierce, "Third Lady and Second Son are my heart and soul, I can even sacrifice my life for them. Elder Sister-in-law had better rember today's words, otherwise, even if I go to hell, I'll break free from the chains and return."
Mrs. Wu was startled by her gaze and the fierceness in her words, unable to speak for a long while.
Zhao Ji was blocked by Mrs. Wu, only hearing the words without seeing Mrs. Wang's situation, he grew angry, his tone also turning cold, "Sister-in-law, what do you an by this, do you suspect that Third Lady's fall from the horse was caused by the second house?"
Mrs. Wang tightly clutched the handkerchief, crying, "Elder Brother, Eldest Sister is still kneeling in the ancestral hall, we both know why she's kneeling."
Zhao Ji's face turned blue, he clenched his fist, and coldly said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you tell , why is she kneeling?"
Mrs. Wang held Zhao Hanzhang tightly, shivering slightly in fear.
Zhao Ji angrily said, "The servants around Sister-in-law also need clearing out, all these ddleso people by your side stirring things up, that's why these misunderstandings arise between the siblings."
He said in a deep voice, "Even Second Son himself can't clearly explain why he left town, Eldest Sister happened to know about it, of course, she would tell Third Lady. Sister-in-law, why don't you think about it, if Eldest Sister hadn't told Third Lady, could Third Lady have gone after Second Son in ti? With so many refugees and chaotic soldiers outside the city, wouldn't they have swallowed him alive?"
Zhao Ji: "Not only does Sister-in-law not rember Eldest Sister's kindness, but also believes in outside rumors, thinks Eldest Sister incited Second Son to leave the city. Now with the new emperor ascending the throne, the situation in court changing, Elder Brother needs to temporarily stay at ho to recuperate from illness and avoid chaos in court. In such circumstances, Sister-in-law causing internal strife, isn't it exactly what those instigators want?"
He cast a fierce glance at Qing Gu on the side, directly ordered, "I see Sister-in-law is being stirred up by those around her, co, take these unruly slaves away."
Qing Gu and others were startled, trembling and kneeling on the ground.
Mrs. Wang was also startled, quickly extending a hand to stop it, "It has nothing to do with them..."
Zhao Hanzhang slightly furrowed her brows, opened her eyes, she pushed away Mrs. Wang's other hand, pretending to vomit twice by the bedside before lifting her head and reaching out to Qing Gu on the ground.
Qing Gu hesitated before reacting, quickly got up, her hands trembling slightly as she handed a teacup to Third Lady.
Zhao Hanzhang rinsed her mouth and spit it out, then leaned against Mrs. Wang, her face pale as she looked at Zhao Ji, the corners of her mouth slightly curving, "Is this Great Hall Uncle?"
The stagnated atmosphere in the room imdiately beca active, the servants kneeling on the ground felt the oppressive aura weaken over them, they could slightly lift their heads.
Zhao Hanzhang's waking and vomiting directly disrupted Zhao Ji's rhythm.
Zhao Ji stared at Zhao Hanzhang, slightly furrowing his brows, "Third Lady, you have beco increasingly disrespectful, who taught you to speak to elders like this?"
Zhao Hanzhang looked innocent, "I don't rember."
She smiled at Zhao Ji, slightly raising her chin, "I don't rember you, nor do I rember... those behind you, except,"
Her gaze fixed on Zhao Dalang, with a mocking smile, "Him."
Zhao Dalang: ...
Though they are cousins only a year apart, the two closest in age in the mansion, they really aren't that familiar. He completely doesn't rember doing anything morable that she would recall even after losing mory.
"But not rembering isn't a problem, we can reintroduce ourselves," Zhao Hanzhang expressed her generosity, not minding getting acquainted again, "But this seems to be my courtyard, this is the main house, right?"
Zhao Hanzhang tilted her head with a questioning look at Zhao Ji, "Can the second house now directly bypass the head lady of the main house to deal with the servants of the main house?"
