Zhou Ying looked at her in shock and asked, “Do you know that no matter what happens, you and your children will be implicated?”
“I know.”
“Then why are you…”
“I’m not afraid that you’ll laugh at me. I couldn’t win against that vixen, Zhao Xiuying’s aunt.
“My son’s legs were crippled before the New Year, and now he’s completely disabled.” Madam Zhao looked at Zhao Xiuli with tears in her eyes. “He now wants to send my daughter to the palace to pave the way for him and his son-in-law.”
Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment. “Isn’t this a good thing? After entering the palace, it’s a matter of whether your daughter wants to help or not. Could it be that he dares ask the Emperor for her?”
“But there’s the Empress; I can’t let my daughter put herself in danger.” Madam Zhao hesitated.
When Zhou Ying heard that, she remembered that Zhou Huaiming mentioned that Lord Zhao was the First Prince’s subordinate.
However, didn’t these people have other connections through their marriage? She asked curiously, “What about your maternal family? You can ask them for help.”
“My family is already down and out. The only cousin who can support me is gone, so…”
“Your cousin is…”
“Lord Bai from the Ministry of Works.”
Zhou Ying was stunned after hearing this. What a coincidence.
“The Emperor will be here in a while. Isn’t it more convenient for you to directly complain to him? There’s no need to come to collaborate with us, right?”
“My son is still in his hands.”
“Why do you think I would help you?
“Don’t mention my cousin-in-law. She’s doing very well now.
“To be honest, we should thank Zhao Xiuying. My cousin’s life wouldn’t be so comfortable if it weren’t for.”
“Don’t you hate Zhao Xiuying?” Madam Zhao looked at her in surprise.
Zhou Ying shook her head and said, “I don’t hate her. She and her husband are just scumbags. If he doesn’t want my cousin-in-law as his wife, so be it.” “What if they plan to plot against you and your wife?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’ll let you know if you agree to collaborate.”
“No. We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. We’re not afraid of them.”
“You… Think about it carefully. After tonight, my offer will be invalid.” Madam Zhao stood up and left with her daughter.
Zhou Ying saw this and followed Madam Zhao with her divine senses. She found that in addition to the thick black fog on Madam Zhao’s body—indicating bad luck—a bloody aura also shrouded her.
This meant that Madam Zhao had killed someone before.
However, thinking about it, it made sense. How could she be someone kind if she dared find an enemy to plot against her husband?
As for Madam Zhao’s daughter, there was nothing on her other than bad luck.
However, her unreconciled and vicious face indirectly showed that she was not a kind person either.
When they arrived outside and found a remote place, Zhou Ying heard Miss Zhao ask in panic, “Mother, what should we do? She won’t help us.”
“If it really doesn’t work, we can only go all out and report him.”
“No, mother, we will lose our lives.”
“Fine, let’s die together. The three of us can’t become their stepping stones. Otherwise, I won’t die in peace.”
“But, I…”
Madam Zhao tidied her daughter’s clothes and said, “If it really doesn’t work out, you must change your appearance and escape. Mother has had enough of these aggrieved days.”
“Mother…”
“Alright, take advantage of the fact that they are not watching us now. Hurry up and leave the palace, or else it will be too late.”
“But…”
“Go. If possible, remember to go back and bring your brother out.” After Madam Zhao finished speaking, she gave her a roll of banknotes..
