The smile on Zhou's face suddenly froze and she looked painful.

"Are you still placing your hopes on Cheng Yunge, thinking that she will come and take you back home after she becomes successful?"

Zhou looked at Cheng Jiuyuan coldly, "That's right! My Yun Ge is so outstanding, she will definitely save me!"

She did not fight to the death with Lin Manqing, but came to the manor obediently. She placed all her hopes on Cheng Yunge.

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and shook his head.

"What are you laughing at!" Zhou stared at her fiercely.

"You only know that Cheng Changchuan is dead, but do you know who killed him?"

"You don't really think Xue Peng is the murderer, do you?"

"You know Xue Peng better than I do. How could he give up his generous monthly salary and attack the son of the prime minister just for the sake of a disciple?"

"What do you mean? What do you know?" Zhou suddenly became emotional. "Tell me who it is? Who killed my son?"

Cheng Jiuyuan showed a cruel smile and said softly, "This is the daughter you have placed great hopes on."

Zhou's eyes were bloodshot and her face was full of collapse: "No! Impossible! You lied to me! Impossible!"

Ignoring Zhou's shouting, Cheng Jiuyuan continued to speak slowly: "The owner behind Changtian Tower is Cheng Yunge, and Cheng Changchuan took the blame for her. My poor brother had his life ruined by his own sister. He could have had a perfect life."

"He is the only son of the prime minister's family. He is famous for his talent and will surely serve as an official in the court in the future. He should have a beautiful wife, riches and splendor. And you, you could have given birth to the only son in the prime minister's family. You would have been promoted to the position of the legitimate wife and maybe even received an imperial decree. What a pity..."

These were the glorious scenes of Cheng Changchuan and Zhou’s previous lives.

"No! No!" Zhou's tears were streaming down her face, and her voice was as shrill as that of a demon.

She was on the verge of collapse, but Cheng Jiuyuan had no intention of letting her go.

"Cheng Yunge was only ten years old at that time, and she ruined her brother's life. Does she have any affection for her family?"

"You actually still expect her to save you after she becomes successful? I think if that day really comes, the first person she wants to get rid of is you!"

"In her eyes, you are a failed mother. You cannot give her the status of a legitimate daughter. You are not presentable enough. Not only can you not help her, but you can only suck her blood. With such a biological mother, Cheng Yunge is such a cold-hearted monster. Will she save you?"

"Ah - Ah -" Zhou was unable to move due to the acupuncture points pressed. She could only open her mouth and scream in despair.

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and admired her collapse.

With a wave of his hand, he unblocked her acupoints.

Zhou collapsed to the ground, slapping her head frantically with her hands.

"No! No..."

Although she was unwilling to believe it, Zhou also understood that she had fallen into such a situation and Cheng Jiuyuan would not lie to her.

Scenes from the past came to mind.

She suddenly realized that her daughter had changed since she didn't know when.

Although the daughter used to be cruel and selfish, she loved her mother very much and liked to follow her brother Changchuan.

But I don't know when she changed.

She became the well-educated, gentle and kind Miss Cheng in everyone's eyes.

She knew her own daughter well, and Cheng Yunge's behavior often didn't make sense.

But she put more of her thoughts on her son, and she was only happy that her daughter could bring honor to her.

Now that I think about it carefully, a chill suddenly surges in my heart.

Her daughter treated her and Changchuan no differently than anyone else.

Appears kind, but is actually cold and indifferent.

Unexpectedly, Changchuan was actually harmed by her!

She is actually the boss behind Changtian Tower.

Changtian Tower, there is no way her daughter could do such a thing!

The reason why she had been able to hold on until now was that she had always believed in her heart that her daughter would come to pick her up.

Now, the hope in her heart was shattered, and the faith that had been supporting her collapsed.

Cheng Jiuyuan felt happy and turned to walk out.

"She is not my daughter, she is not, she is a monster! He is a monster, she is a man-eating monster..."

Cheng Jiuyuan paused and looked back at the culprit who killed her mother.

The improved 'ephemeral beauty' has turned her into a real old woman, with a hunched body, gray hair, bark-like skin, and a hoarse voice.

Zhou was right. Cheng Yunge was no longer her daughter. She was indeed a monster.

The people outside the door heard Zhou's heart-wrenching cry in the room and felt worried and curious.

"This...should we go in and take a look? What if that crazy woman bumps into the second young lady?"

"It's okay. The girl asked us to wait, so let's wait."

At this moment, the door was opened from the inside.

Mu Jin hurried over to greet him.

"girl."

"Let's go." Cheng Jiuyuan's expression was indifferent.

The maid quickly locked the door, and the woman warned, "Watch carefully."

"Don't worry, with so many of us, can she still fly into the sky with wings?"

Cheng Jiuyuan followed the woman out of the yard.

"Thank you very much. I'll go back first." Cheng Jiuyuan thanked the woman softly.

"Second Miss, don't you want to sit here?"

"No."

"Go slowly, second girl."

In the carriage, Mu Jin handed Cheng Jiuyuan a cup of warm tea.

After taking a sip, the hatred surging in Cheng Jiuyuan's heart slowly subsided.

"Miss, do you want me to kill Zhou Yurong directly?"

"No need."

Zhou Yurong is about to die of old age, so let her spend her last days in agony.

Lin was most afraid that Zhou Yurong would escape alive, so she would definitely let Zhou Yurong die in there.

In such an environment, anyone would be driven crazy.

Zhou had been able to hold on until now because of her hope, but today she had shattered that hope with her own hands. Plus, she was already exhausted and she wouldn't be able to hold on for many more days.

When Cheng Jiuyuan returned home, he saw Jinxiufang delivering newly tailored clothes.

A maid was frowning and asking, "Why does my girl only have one set of clothes?"

Mu Jin explained to Cheng Jiuyuan in a low voice: "Dingxiang died while blocking the knife for the eldest girl. This is the new one who came in. Her name is Cuiluo."

Cheng Jiuyuan withdrew her gaze and walked towards her own yard with the two maids.

Cuiluo saw that Songlan had received three new sets of clothes while she only had one in her hand. She pouted her lips, turned around and walked back without saying anything.

"My dear girl, the new clothes have been delivered."

Cheng Yunge said "hmm" indifferently.

He glanced, "Wait."

Cui Luo turned around and looked at her.

Cheng Yunge stood up and stepped forward: "Why only one set?"

"Replying to the elder girl, this is the only way."

Cheng Yunge felt anger rising in his heart.

Good Lin Manqing, do you think you can save her face by doing this?

"Go to Meirenji to get some silver, and ask Jinxiufang to make two more suits according to this size using the finished material."

"Yes."

After the maid left, she walked to the guqin and sat down.

She slowly raised her hand and gently plucked the strings.

Cheng Yunge curled his lips, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in the pleasant piano music.

But soon, she suddenly opened her eyes and held her trembling left hand with her right hand.

There was a piercing pain in my left hand.

She couldn't hold on even halfway through the song.

She wanted to make a splash at the New Year's Palace Banquet, but now...

However, thinking of Cheng Jiuyuan's piano skills, it was better for her not to play the piano, so as to avoid being overshadowed by Cheng Jiuyuan.

Fortunately, she can do more than just this.
