Chapter 197 Crazy Woman
Chapter 197 Crazy Woman
Zhou Yi was shocked and quickly reached out to push the woman away.
"Ah... who are you?"
He couldn't help coughing and was almost strangled to death by this crazy woman.
The woman was pushed to the ground. She looked up at Zhou Yi, her eyes full of madness. "Give me back my child... It's you who killed my child."
"My child is gone, and I want you to be buried with him."
Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel dazed. He looked at the face that looked exactly like Liu's, and gradually he remembered the identity of this woman.
The woman's name was Yunniang, a prostitute he redeemed from a brothel two years ago.
Yunniang looks very similar to Liu, and he gets a lot of comfort and happiness from Yunniang.
Originally, he placed Yunniang outside the mansion. Half a year later, Yunniang became pregnant... When he found out, Yunniang's child was already more than four months old.
He was afraid that Madam Zhou would find out about this, so he wanted to secretly send her out of Kyoto to have a baby. But before she could leave Kyoto, the truth would come to light, and Madam Zhou found out about it.
The situation was exactly the same as when Liu was discovered.
The difference was that this time Mrs. Zhou was even more vicious. In front of him, she poured a bowl of safflower directly into Yunniang's mouth.
Because he was afraid of the Song family, he endured it again.
Yunniang lost her child. Although she survived, she went crazy from then on.
In order to maintain her reputation as a virtuous woman, Mrs. Zhou hypocritically took the lunatic Yunniang into the Zhou family to raise her... Now that the lunatic was no longer a threat, she was happy to be a living Bodhisattva to save face.
Zhou Yi never thought that Yunniang would break in tonight and take advantage of his serious injuries... to strangle him to death.
He covered his aching neck and coughed softly: "How did you get in?"
He remembered that there was someone watching over Yunniang.
How could Yunniang, a crazy person, avoid the eyes of those servants and successfully find the house where he lived?
He hasn't thought it through yet.
A flash of knife light flashed before his eyes, blinding him.
He quickly raised his hand to block it, and with a "whoosh" sound... the sharp dagger pierced through his wrist.
Zhou Yi couldn't help but scream in pain: "Ah..."
"Someone is coming..."
This madman.
She actually hid a knife?
Yunniang looked at Zhou Yi viciously and pulled out the dagger.
Her eyes were bloodshot. "You're the one who killed my child. As his father, why couldn't you protect him? You're a coward. You've been held captive by a tigress your entire life... Zhou Yi, I'll die with you today. Let's go together to atone for our child's sins..."
She held the bloody knife and stabbed Zhou Yi again.
Zhou Yi's eyes were full of astonishment, and he dodged in a panic.
His body fell heavily off the bed.
He shouted several times, but no servants rushed in.
He felt a surge of fear in his heart: "Are all the people outside dead? Come on, drag this crazy woman away."
Yunniang laughed crazily with her head tilted back. She held the bloody knife in her hand and approached Zhou Yi step by step.
"The people outside have been sent away long ago."
"Zhou Yi... No one can save you."
Zhou Yi took a deep breath and crawled towards the door step by step.
His movements caused the wound to hurt, and the pain almost made him want to die.
He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and struggled to climb out.
The floor was covered in his blood.
The whole room was filled with a strong smell of blood.
He was extremely panicked, and suddenly Zhou Lingge's words popped up in his mind. She gave him two choices.
One, Song dies, Zhou Shiya lives. Two, he dies, Song lives!
Three days.
Today is exactly the third day.
A chill couldn't help but seep out of his body.
His body was shaking violently.
He finally understood the concubine's methods.
He didn't take her words to heart before. He just thought she was stern and trying to scare him.
Now, he thought of the assassin he had encountered and Yunniang who was suddenly released.
Zhou Yi was horrified when he thought about it carefully.
This concubine's daughter is capable of doing what she says. She really wants to kill him!
"No, no. I don't want to die... Someone, help me. Take this crazy woman away from me." Zhou Yi roared in despair. Even though he shouted at the top of his lungs, there was no movement outside.
Yunniang smiled sinisterly.
She squatted down and grabbed Zhou Yi's hair.
"You can't run away..."
"You provoked me... why didn't you treat me well? Zhou Yi, you are so cruel. You watched helplessly as my child was killed by that vicious woman. I hate you... I wish I could cut you into pieces."
"My child had just taken shape, and the doctor said it might be a boy. But... he was killed by that vicious woman. You were a coward and incompetent, and you were eaten alive by that vicious woman. You were like a dog she raised, and you just listened to whatever she said. She deserved to die, and you deserved to die too..."
She put her cheek in front of Zhou Yi.
The face that looked so similar to Liu's made Zhou Yi feel dazed.
Those dusty memories of the past surfaced bit by bit.
A beautiful woman, covered in blood, was lying in the snow, just like the winter plum blossoms... stunningly beautiful yet poignant!
That was the last image of Liu that remained in his mind.
He hadn't seen her for many years.
The longing that he had suppressed for so many years burst out like a broken dam.
The corners of Zhou Yi's eyes gradually turned red.
He raised his hand with trembling arms and touched Yunniang's cheek.
"Liu Niang...I am sorry for you."
"You must hate me, that's why you never came into my dreams all these years."
"You want revenge... then do it. I am willing to die in your hands..." Zhou Yi said, and slowly closed his eyes.
Yunniang was stunned. She didn't expect that the man who was struggling and begging for mercy just now suddenly became a different person. It was as if his body was taken away in an instant. His soul was completely sucked out, and now only an empty shell was left.
She held the bloody dagger and suddenly hesitated.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside.
The Zhou family servant broke open the door, rushed in, and quickly subdued Yunniang.
The pain Zhou Yi had imagined did not come, and he slowly opened his eyes.
The originally dazed look gradually became clear.
There was a darkness in his eyes.
It turned out that it was not Liu Niang who came to seek revenge on him.
This was all a ridiculous fantasy of his.
Zhou Yi couldn't help but curl his lips in a mocking smile... He looked up at the roof and felt that his life was ridiculous and hateful.
He let down a lot of people.
He seemed to have no heart. He had been pursuing women all these years, but it seemed as if he had never stopped for anyone. He didn't even know who he loved.
Or maybe he doesn't love anyone but himself.
So... why does he have to protect the Song family now?
