Chapter 408: 3 Dead and 1 Dead
Zhou Lingfu saw through Zhou Lingyi's fierce appearance and restraint at a glance. She chuckled, and this laughter made Zhou Lingyi even more terrified.
"Let me out, I want to go out! I want to go out!" Zhou Lingyi yelled at the guards behind him with a pale face.
The guards seemed not to have heard anything and stood still at the door.
Zhou Lingfu walked towards Zhou Lingyi step by step, admiring her increasingly terrified expression. "Zhou Lingyi, you have come to this day, hahahahaha!"
As she approached, her face and figure were gradually exposed in the sunlight shining into the house, leaving a shadow behind her.
Zhou Lingyi's body suddenly stiffened, his pupils dilated, his eyes filled with disbelief, "You...you are Zhou Lingfu, you are not dead! You are still alive!"
"How is this possible! This is impossible! You clearly died in front of me, and Wu, I personally fed you that medicine. You can't possibly still be alive!"
What exactly is going on?
who is it?
Who saved Zhou Lingfu and Wu?
Zhou Lingyi's whole body was trembling, his face was pale, and his expression was distorted with pain. It was obvious that he could not accept this result.
A few months ago, Zhou Lingfu and Wu were just ants that she could crush at will.
But now the whole Yongning Marquis's mansion was imprisoned, and she was enslaved, but Zhou Lingfu and Wu escaped because they were already dead in the eyes of the world.
What's worse is that Zhou Lingfu bought her and her deed was in Zhou Lingfu's hands.
If Zhou Lingfu wanted her to live, she would live; if she wanted her to die, she would die.
She didn't think that Zhou Lingfu had gone through so much trouble just to repay evil with kindness or save her. She was probably taking the opportunity to torture her.
Sure enough, Zhou Lingfu forced a smile, grabbed Zhou Lingyi's neck, and said coldly, "Zhou Lingyi, you didn't expect that I'd still be alive. Life is truly unpredictable. In just a few months, our identities have been swapped."
"Tell me, how should I treat you to repay you for all the care you've shown me before? Hmm?"
As Zhou Lingfu spoke, the hand that was pinching Zhou Lingyi's neck suddenly tightened.
Zhou Lingyi's face suddenly turned from white to red and then to purple, his veins bulged, and he ignored his aching stomach and desperately pulled Zhou Lingfu's hand.
“Let…let…me go…”
Zhou Lingfu's target was Zhou Lingyi, and Wu was not idle either.
Just as Zhou Lingfu was approaching step by step, Wu walked towards the old lady who had fainted in the corner and stepped on her.
Seeing that there was no reaction, he squatted down, stretched out his hand, and pinched the old lady's philtrum with one finger.
How could one faint in the face of such a wonderful scene?
You should open your eyes and see clearly.
The old lady woke up slowly from the pain, and when she opened her eyes she saw Wu's face so close to her. She was about to faint again, but then she heard Zhou Lingyi's words and realized that the hand that had pinched her philtrum was warm.
Hot...alive...alive!
The old lady's joy instantly surpassed her fear. In her excitement, she even forgot that she was an accomplice in Wu's murder. Her mind was filled with hope for the rest of her life.
Judging from how generous Sister Fu was just now, it shouldn't be difficult to support an old woman like her.
She is her grandmother, she should respect her!
"Hahaha! God really won't let me die!" The old lady turned her head to look at Zhou Lingfu, who had her back to her, and said, "Sister Fu! I am your grandmother!"
Thinking that she wouldn't have to be a slave in the future and could live a rich life, the old lady's face immediately flushed and the pain in her body disappeared. She got up from the ground and wanted to walk towards Zhou Lingfu.
But Wu, who was behind him, kicked him in the knee. He fell to the ground with a thud. Wu's voice rang in his ears, "Old hag, have you forgotten something?"
The old lady then remembered that she had allowed Lin and her daughter to kill Wu.
His cloudy eyes suddenly widened, his wrinkled face was filled with fear, his dry hands shook in panic, and he screamed, "It's not me! It's not me! It's none of my business! It's... it's them!"
The old lady pointed at Lin and Zhou Lingyi and explained, "It's all their fault! They forced me to abandon you. It's none of my business!"
As he said this, he wanted to reach out and pull Wu, but Wu dodged him.
"Don't touch me. If you don't want to die, stay here quietly!"
Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately stopped, lowered her head, and sat on the ground trembling, not even daring to look in Zhou Lingfu's direction.
Lin didn't care about the old lady's life or death. What she cared about was Zhou Lingyi's life or death.
When he realized that Zhou Lingfu and her daughter were not dead and were here to seek revenge, he immediately took two steps forward, pushed Zhou Lingfu away, and protected Zhou Lingyi behind him.
Zhou Lingyi was free. He held the door open, taking in deep gulps of air, feeling terrified.
While Lin was looking after Zhou Lingyi, she was also looking at Zhou Lingfu with caution and a little panic.
"Zhou Lingfu! What do you want to do? If you have anything to say, come to me. Don't touch Yi Jie'er!"
Zhou Lingfu staggered after being pushed by Lin. Upon hearing this, she laughed out loud, "What? Are you feeling heartbroken?"
"You know how to love your own daughter, but how can you be so cruel to someone else's daughter? Now, you're getting your comeuppance, right?"
"You...what do you want to do? If you want to kill me, just go ahead. I'm not afraid of you!" said Zhou Lingyi who was hiding behind Lin.
She spoke with a firm tone, but Zhou Lingfu could clearly see what was happening, and she took another step back, terrified.
Zhou Lingfu sneered inwardly, "Who said I want to kill you? That would be so boring. Wouldn't it be better to let you live and serve as my slaves?"
As soon as Zhou Lingfu finished speaking, a hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the old lady, Lin, and Zhou Lingyi.
Zhou Lingfu was seen walking towards the only relatively clean table in the room. On the table was a tray covered with red silk, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
Zhou Lingfu lifted the red silk, revealing three bowls filled with brown medicine.
Zhou Lingfu's lips curled slightly as she whispered, "Originally, I wanted to poison you to death, letting you experience the pain my mother felt before her death, but just now, I changed my mind."
As she spoke, she picked up one of the bowls of medicine and smashed it to the ground. The porcelain shards shattered and the brown medicine inside flowed out.
This action scared the old lady and Lin's mother and daughter.
To be precise, no matter what Zhou Lingfu did at this moment, the old lady and the Lin mother and daughter were like frightened birds.
After all, your life is not in your own hands.
Seeing the three figures tremble out of the corner of her eye, Zhou Lingfu sneered, then picked up a bowl of medicine and smashed it to the ground.
As a result, only a bowl of medicine was left on the table.
Zhou Lingfu looked at the bowl of medicine and smiled with her eyes curved, but in the eyes of the three people, she looked as terrifying as a devil.
"I want to save your lives."
"But if I keep you alive, it seems that it will be even more difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart. How about this..."
She picked up the bowl of medicine, faced the three men, and said, "If one of you three dies, I'll keep the remaining two. How about that?"
"One of three will die. That's an easy choice, right?"
The voice was neither hurried nor slow, soft and gentle, but it was like a heavy hammer falling in the hearts of the old lady and the Lin mother and daughter.
As if afraid that they might have other ideas, the moment Zhou Lingfu finished speaking, the guard at the door drew his sword with a "whoosh", silently threatening the three of them.
Who would want to die if they didn't have to?
Now the lives of the three people are in Zhou Lingfu's hands. For her, taking their lives is as easy as crushing an ant.
Since she said so, the three of them naturally had no doubts and believed it easily.
After all, their lives are in Zhou Lingfu's hands. If she wants them to die, a single word from Zhou Lingfu will be enough. Why would she go to the trouble of lying to them?
This undoubtedly provoked the sensitive nerves in the hearts of the three people.
No one doesn't want to live.
It is better to be a slave alive than dead.
The old lady suddenly looked at Lin's mother and daughter. In her mind, as the old lady, Lin's mother-in-law, and Zhou Lingyi's grandmother, the person who died was naturally not her, but Lin or Zhou Lingyi.
But when she looked up and saw Lin and Zhou Lingyi looking at her, she realized that she was wrong. This mother and daughter actually wanted her to die.
