Ying Yufu said, "But I heard that he will marry no one but you."

Zhuang Cuiluo clenched her fists and said, "But I don't want to marry him."

A gossipy glint flashed in Ying Yufu's eyes.

Looks like there's a story behind this.

Then Zhuang Cuiluo said, "I kindly saved him, but after he woke up, not only did he not know how to be grateful, he actually repaid kindness with enmity."

Ying Yufu knew she shouldn't be too gossipy, but she really wanted to hear it.

Furthermore, I need to know more about the Meng family.

She asked seriously, "Miss Zhuang, could you explain in more detail?"

Zhuang Cuiluo continued, "I saved him. My family was initially unwilling for me to take a stranger home."

However, Zhuang Dali noticed that his clothes were unusual and knew that he came from an extraordinary background. He then had the idea of ​​currying favor with him, and the Zhuang family allowed me to leave him to take care of.

Not only that, they also ordered me to make sure the person was well taken care of.

"I rescued him, so naturally I have to take care of him. I looked after him day and night for three days, and he finally woke up. But that lunatic Meng Dongfeng actually thanked my whole family, but not me!"

As she said this, a dark aura seemed to drift across Zhuang Cuiluo's face, clearly indicating that she was quite angry.

Ying Yufu also found it unbelievable.

When a normal person wakes up, shouldn't they be thanking their savior?

He skipped over his savior and went straight to thank him, which is truly speechless.

Zhuang Cuiluo said, "The Zhuang family took the opportunity to hint to him that they had asked for a lot of benefits. He was really generous and always granted their requests, stuffing treasures, gold, silver and silk into the Zhuang family all at once."

The Zhuang family members were all dressed in gold and silver, eating with grease on their faces, while I was still wearing a patched-up shirt in the freezing cold, and the pants were the ones Zhuang Dali had given me before.

I was shivering from the cold and starving, but Meng Dongpei seemed not to see me.

When I asked him for those things back, the dealers cursed at me. He put on a loving face and said something like, "He likes me, so everything that's his is mine now. Don't worry about the things he gave to the dealers."

Zhuang Cuiluo's eyes reddened with anger as she spoke. "Princess, I didn't mean to covet his things. I didn't think about coveting anything when I saved him."

But if he wants to repay a debt of gratitude, shouldn't he repay it to my enemy?

He even spoke in support of my enemies.

The villagers all treated me like an animal. He stayed at the village for a month without leaving. Didn't they really see through him?

He also made me serve him every day. During the day, I had to cut pig feed and cook for the whole family. I was already very tired, and at night I had to serve him like a maid.

I told him to leave my house, but he looked at me with those eyes that he thought were affectionate but were actually disgusting, saying that I was different from other women and that he had never met a girl like me who didn't respect his status.

He said he would only marry me, and I said I wouldn't marry him and didn't like him. But that only made him more enthusiastic. Princess, is he sick?

Zhuang Cuiluo burst into tears as she spoke, "I'm so tired every day that I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow, and I only get about two hours of sleep a night. Not only does he not see how hard I work, but he also says that I will definitely be a virtuous wife and loving mother in the future."

In his excitement, he showered the Zhuang family with a ton of good things. I could only watch as they reveled in their joy, bossing me around, while Meng Dongpei looked completely content. I had no idea what he was enjoying!

Ying Yufu was stunned.

He really is a lunatic.

Xiao Dian: [So tragic, so pitiful.]

Zhuang Cuiluo couldn't help but look at Xiao Dian and smiled bitterly. See? Even a parrot knows she's pitiful, but that thing that keeps saying it wants to repay her for saving its life doesn't understand.

They're worse than animals.

"You chased him away, but instead of leaving, he felt that you were different from other women and insisted on clinging to you. Then, he gave the things that should have been repaid to you to the farmers who treated you badly."

He knew perfectly well that the Zhuang family treated you badly, yet he kept giving them things, and he even seemed to enjoy their merriment. He treated you, his true savior, like a servant.

Ying Yufu took a deep breath, a deep sense of sympathy in her eyes, "Miss Zhuang, it's all in the past."

Zhuang Cuiluo's face revealed a complex emotion. "Yes, it's all in the past. Since the Zhuang family received those benefits and went to great lengths to keep that person in the Zhuang family for a month, it is their own karma that they have lost their lives because of this."

Although the dealers are my family, they have never treated me like a human being. The dealers died because they saved that person, but I am not sad.

Even so, if I could do it all over again, I would never have saved Meng Dongpei. I would have preferred to let him fend for himself down that hillside.

Ying Yufu looked at the girl. The girl kept saying that she was cold-blooded and ruthless, but in reality, she had a warm heart.

She hates the landlord, but if she could do it all over again, she would not save Meng Dongpei.

"Miss Zhuang, the death of the Zhuang family is not your fault. Your initial intention to save people was not wrong. The mistake was that the person you saved was really a lunatic."

If it were a normal person, they would give some money to thank their savior, and that would be the end of it, everyone would be happy.

Unfortunately, the Zhuang family was greedy and exploited Zhuang Cuiluo, while Meng Dongpei, unable to distinguish right from wrong, thanked the wrong person who saved his life.

Not only that, but it also brought death to Miss Zhuang and her family.

Does Meng Dongpei really know nothing about all this?

He's selectively choosing to be blind.

He was captivated by Zhuang's beauty and diligence, and even more so by the romantic encounter he had with her after he was rescued.

He lingered at the farmhouse, simply enjoying the pleasure of a high-ranking nobleman bestowing small favors upon a commoner family.

Perhaps he really does want to win over Miss Zhuang.

But is he really as he claims, determined to marry no one but Miss Zhuang?

If it were true, why would he return to the capital instead of staying in Anzhou to search for the bodies of Miss Zhuang and her family?

"Meng Dongpei is a really interesting person," Ying Yufu said.

Zhuang Cuiluo said, "Princess, can you give me a chance to serve you? My family is all dead, and I am all alone. I really cannot protect everything in the Zhuang family. In the end, I will only be torn apart and eaten."

If I could follow the princess, I would have someone to rely on.

"I am a woman who deserves to die, but in the future, if the princess needs me, I will risk my life without hesitation."

Chong'er's eyes widened slightly. Did this girl want to become the princess's maid?

She tilted her head to look at Ying Yufu. The princess had always only had her as her maid, while other young ladies and princesses had a whole bunch of maids and servants.

It's not a big deal that the princess took this Zhuang girl in as a concubine.

However, that would mean one more person would take away the princess's kindness from her.

The insect was somewhat conflicted.

I'm thinking about whether I should spread some slanderous rumors to drive away the competitors.

Then Ying Yufu asked, "Little insect, do you want a companion?"

Without thinking, Chong'er said, "Princess, Miss Zhuang is very pitiful. It's not impossible to keep her."

She regretted it as soon as she said it.

What about her slander?
