Chapter 51

That beast smiled and said to her: "What should I do? I feel like I've fallen in love with your... body, I've been thinking about you these past few days. Why don't you be with me?"

The young girl wanted to resist, but just like last time, her strength was too small to push him away. It was just that when he pounced on her, she bit his shoulder hatefully.

The result was a brutal beating from the man, beating her until she fainted.

It wasn't until he had vented his beastly desires that she slowly woke up.

Zheng Shirong said viciously to her: "This young master has already found out clearly about your parents' situation. They go to the capital every morning to set up a stall to sell goods and don't return until evening. If they encounter a bandit on the road, or accidentally fall into the river when crossing it, what do you think will happen?"

The young girl cried, she cried and begged him: "Don't hurt my parents, don't hurt them, I beg you..."

Zheng Shirong stroked her cheek, his movements as gentle as playing with a pet: "That depends on whether you are good or not. As long as you are obedient, this young master guarantees that your parents will be safe and live a long life!"

In the next three or four months, Zheng Shirong would come over every once in a while. He was very cunning, never leaving wounds on Wang Ling'er's face, only tormenting her body.

Three or four months later, he finally got bored and gradually stopped coming.

And Wang Ling'er was young and didn't understand human affairs, and plus her parents were busy working hard every day and didn't pay enough attention to her, so she didn't even know she was pregnant.

It wasn't until later when the child was several months old and her belly couldn't be hidden that her parents discovered it.

But her father's first reaction was to blame his daughter for being unchaste, slapped her, and forced her to ask who the man was.

Wang Ling'er didn't dare to say, only crying blindly.

The Wang family wanted to have an abortion, but the pregnancy was already advanced, and an abortion would likely harm the mother's life.

Although the Wang family was helpless, she was their only daughter after all, and they couldn't bear for her to lose her life, so they decided to let her give birth to the child first.

Who knew that this matter would be discovered by Zheng Shirong, who invited Wang Ling'er to the boat and questioned: "You kept the belly, could it be that you want to rely on the child to become noble? You lowly village girl, even if you give birth to a child, it's a wild breed and can't enter our Zheng family's door!"

"The child must be removed, this young master's eldest son must be legitimate, otherwise it will affect the marriage discussion if it spreads out."

Wang Ling'er said timidly: "I don't want to enter your door, and I don't want to see you again. As long as you don't come to find me, I will never appear in front of you again!"

Zheng Shirong didn't believe her words: "Then why are you still keeping the evil seed in your belly? Our Zheng family is a clean and noble family, this young master's eldest son must come out of a noble lady's belly. You, you are not qualified! Even if you are pregnant, it doesn't deserve to be born!"

Wang Ling'er said with tears: "But the doctor said, the child is already several months old, and if it's removed, it's very easy for both mother and child to die."

"Where did all that nonsense come from? You listen to me, if the evil seed in your belly is still there in three days, your parents will have an accident!"

"Young Master Zheng!" Wang Ling'er knelt down, hugging his leg and begging bitterly, "Young Master, please give me a way to live, I really don't want to die! My father scolded me, beat me, and I didn't even say your identity. I guarantee I won't talk nonsense in the future, I guarantee no one will know it's your child. I beg you, I beg you to let me give birth to him, I beg you to give me a way to live!"

"Get lost, you bitch, your tears and snot have dirtied this young master's brocade boots! Do you know how expensive these boots are? Get lost!"

Zheng Shirong kicked her, and in his anger, he didn't control his strength well, actually kicking her into the river.

Wang Ling'er didn't know how to swim and struggled blindly with her hands.

And Zheng Shirong just looked at it coldly and ordered the boatman: "Start the boat, go."

A woman he was tired of playing with, dying would save a lot of trouble.

Wang Ling'er watched the man and the boat gradually move away in the water, only the cold river water mercilessly filling her mouth and nose.

She hated it so much!

Why can aristocrats be high and mighty, lawless?

Why was she born lowly, without even a chance to live?

Why, why...

The intense obsession turned into a shackle that trapped her at the bottom of the river, unable to transcend.

While hating Zheng Shirong, she also clearly knew that she and her family alone couldn't do anything to the murderer.

The only way was to have a backing with a higher status to help her seek justice.

And since childhood, the concept her parents instilled in her was: a man is a woman's backing, and in the future, only by marrying a good man can one live a good life.

Before she died, she already didn't dare to hope for a good man to marry a broken flower and a wilted willow like her.

But after death, reason disappeared, and only obsession remained. So, her obsession was to marry an aristocratic gentleman, an aristocrat with a higher status than the Zheng family...

So, Dongfang Yan was schemed by Lin Qingyue and became her husband.

It was just that Lin Qingyue didn't know the origin of these obsessions, and it was just a whim to scheme against Dongfang Yan.

But when she saw everything Wang Ling'er had suffered through Zheng Shirong's memory, she suddenly understood her obsession.

Just like last time at the Lin family, Zheng Shirong's memory trace was also superimposed with a mirage curse by Lin Qingyue and projected out.

Seeing the pig-and-dog-like things his son had done, County Magistrate Zheng's first reaction was disbelief, subconsciously helping to cover it up:

"Impossible, my son couldn't have done such an absurd thing! There are so many maids in the house, he doesn't need to go outside to do evil! This is a misunderstanding, this must be a misunderstanding!"

"You wicked obstacle! You say it yourself!" He kicked his son again.

Zheng Shirong was in a daze when he was being traced by the dream just now, and now he was kicked awake by his old father and didn't know what had happened, only thinking he could still rely on his own one-sided words to throw all the problems onto Wang Ling'er.

"Sorry Father, I didn't expect Wang Ling'er to be so greedy, eyeing my position as a proper wife. I really didn't hold back for a moment, so I was seduced by her. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid everything was calculated by her long ago!"

In front of everyone, he cried bitterly.

Secretly, however, he was thinking: Every time I went to find Wang Ling'er, I carefully avoided people. And Wang Ling'er was threatened by me, and didn't even dare to tell her parents. So, no one knows what I did!

Lin Qingyue sneered coldly: "I finally understand why Wang Ling'er endured such bullying but still kept silent, not even daring to tell her parents. Even if she said it, even if the Wang parents went to report to the official, with their lowly status and meager strength, they really couldn't fight you!"

"Fortunately, today is different from the past, and Wang Ling'er also has a backing. His Highness Prince Jin, it's your turn to speak."

Lin Qingyue pushed the matter to Dongfang Yan, after all, he was Wang Ling'er's husband.
