Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1725 The Country Girl Looked Down Upon 46
Second Aunt was furious that Zhou San Niang was constantly going against her. After all, she had told her son long ago not to marry this woman, but he wouldn't listen. Now look what happened, she was going to be driven crazy.

Seeing that Zhou Sanniang was driving his mother to her death, the second aunt's son regretted bringing her into the household out of vanity, wanting a daughter of a duke in the inner quarters. After all, his mother's death would be a great loss to him. With his mother alive, he could still get some money from Prince Yonghe. Even if his birth mother was old and out of favor, as a concubine, she would still receive a considerable monthly allowance and annual stipend, which was better than her death.

Now that Zhou Sanniang is making his mother angry every day, he is really worried that his mother will be angered to death by Zhou Sanniang, and then his losses will be huge.

Thinking of this, the second aunt's son began to scold Zhou San Niang on her behalf, telling her not to go against his mother.

Zhou Sanniang wasn't afraid of her second aunt, but she was quite afraid that her husband would have a bad impression of her. After all, if her husband didn't like her anymore and refused to sleep with her, it would be bad if she didn't have children. After all, if she didn't have children, wouldn't it be a waste of her efforts to marry into the imperial family?

You see, the reason she married into a royal family was so that her children would have a title to inherit and wouldn't suffer a miserable life. Otherwise, why would she marry into such a family? Wouldn't it have been better to marry into a merchant family? Merchant families have plenty of money, and with her status as the daughter of a duke, she could definitely be the principal wife and live a good life.

However, merchants only have money, not power. If they offend someone, they can be dealt with in an instant. Naturally, it is not as good as marrying into the royal family and living a carefree life. This is why Zhou San Niang did not marry a rich man but set her sights on a member of the royal family.

Although she was the daughter of a duke, she knew her family's situation well. They had the title of duke's mansion but no real power. If she married into a merchant family, she could become the principal wife because of her status, but if that family offended someone and something happened, she wouldn't be able to help them at all because her family had no real power. Naturally, it was better for her to live a peaceful life than to marry into the imperial family.

However, marrying into the imperial family as a concubine and not having children meant losing everything, so that was also unacceptable.

So when Zhou Sanniang listened to her husband, she toned down her attitude towards her second aunt.

But is Second Aunt the kind of person who would back down just because others do? Absolutely not!

Seeing that Zhou San Niang had become obedient after being scolded by her son, she became arrogant and smug, thinking that she could control Zhou San Niang. So she started to cause trouble for Zhou San Niang even more than before, thinking, "Who do you think you are? You think you can fight with me?"

Seeing that her second aunt was making trouble for her even more, Zhou Sanniang initially endured it obediently because of her husband's scolding, but she was not one to be trifled with, and after a while, she could no longer bear it.

So one day, when her second aunt continued to torment her, Zhou Sanniang finally exploded. Because of the previous incident, the anger she had accumulated made her outburst even more violently. Her attitude was much worse than when she had fought with her second aunt before. It was like a spring that had been compressed to the extreme and then bounced back even more violently.

When she got angry, Zhou Sanniang even pushed her second aunt.

Then the second aunt lost her balance, fell down, hit her head on the hard floor tiles, and passed out.

This was naturally the result of Linlang secretly having the robot assist her.

Ever since Madam Zhou came and asked her to deal with Second Aunt, Linlang had the robot stay by Second Aunt's side, letting it act according to the situation and deal with Second Aunt.

At this moment, Second Aunt was knocked unconscious by Zhou Sanniang and the robot. The servants around her were naturally terrified and rushed to find a doctor to see her. Second Aunt eventually woke up, but she was unable to move, probably due to a head injury. She was like someone who had suffered a stroke and could only lie in bed. Of course, it wasn't a stroke, but rather something on her head that had caused the injury. Second Aunt was now filled with rage.

Although she couldn't move, she could still speak, so she immediately called Zhou Sanniang over and tortured her even more cruelly.

When the second aunt's son saw that Zhou Sanniang had paralyzed his mother, he was naturally furious.

Firstly, since his concubine injured his mother, he should have reprimanded her out of filial piety. Secondly, now that his mother was paralyzed, it would be even harder for her to get money from Prince Yonghe. Moreover, she would be bedridden and wouldn't live long (in ancient times, medical technology was limited, and people bedridden had shorter lifespans than people today). The thought that his mother would die in a few years and he would lose his monthly and annual allowances made him want to beat Zhou San Niang.

How can there be such concubines? They're not even the principal wife, yet they dare to beat their mothers-in-law.

So naturally, the second aunt's son also started cursing Zhou Sanniang.

Seeing the huge blunder she had made, Zhou Sanniang was a little scared. Seeing her mother-in-law and husband blaming her so much, and knowing that her husband might not sleep with her anymore, she realized that her dream of wealth and luxury was about to be shattered. She immediately felt that she couldn't stay in the Yonghe Prince's Mansion anymore and had to run away.

Anyway, her family is a Duke's mansion. If she wants to leave, can her second aunt's son stop her?

There's no need to worry about being his concubine and unable to leave. To save trouble, he didn't register her name with the authorities. So, although she and the second aunt's son are married, according to the law, she is still a free person and can leave at any time.

Ordinary women, whose power is not as great as that of the Prince of Yonghe's mansion, would not dare to run away even if they were not registered as concubines, for fear of being caught and brought back. But she was the daughter of a duke. If she wanted to go back, the son of her second aunt would not dare to bring her back. So she could leave whenever she wanted.

So on this day, the second aunt called her over to attend to her illness, which was actually a form of torture. During this time, Zhou San Niang's resentment towards their family reached its peak. After returning to her room, she packed her things and immediately ran back to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

The Second Aunt and her son were not on guard against Zhou San Niang and never thought that she would run away, so they did not send anyone to watch her, which allowed Zhou San Niang to escape smoothly.

When Madam Zhou and Master Zhou saw their daughter return looking haggard and pitifully thin, and upon hearing about the treatment she had received at the Yonghe Prince's Mansion, they were furious.

They didn't care that their daughter had paralyzed their second aunt; they felt it was what the second aunt deserved. After all, if the second aunt hadn't been tormenting their daughter, their daughter wouldn't have been able to resist pushing her.

They didn't do it on purpose; it was an accidental mishap, so they can't blame their daughter.

On the contrary, their precious daughter has been tormented like this by them, which naturally makes them feel sorry for her. They think it was right for their daughter to come back. If they don't go back, and the other side dares to say anything, they will even accuse them of abusing their daughter.
