It's all ruined, who cares about the chastity arch

"Yes, you're right." Guo's expression eased slightly. She forced a smile and obediently drank the soup handed to her by Su Wanyu.

The hot soup seemed to have some kind of magical power. As it slowly flowed into her stomach, Guo's complexion gradually regained some of its rosy complexion. However, the contempt and dissatisfaction with Su Wanyu in the depths of her eyes had not dissipated.

Even in difficult circumstances, her pride and prejudice remained deeply rooted.

Su Wanyu knew Guo's true attitude towards her very well, so she quickened the pace of feeding her soup, one spoonful after another, her movements smooth and mechanical, as if she was completing a set task.

Looking back on his past life, Guo had treated him even more rudely and cruelly.

At that time, she ordered her maid to force her mouth open and force her to drink bowl after bowl of the bitter medicine.

"Drink it, drink it. You've been used to drinking it over the years anyway, so you don't care about these few bowls." The indifference and contempt in those words still make people feel chilled.

"A lowly woman like you should have died long ago. This soup is a reward for you, so that you can live a few more years. Don't worry, you will slowly rot here and die soon."

Those words were like sharp blades, cutting her heart one by one. Although the medicine was tasteless, it burned in her stomach. The pain made her scream continuously, but she did not get any sympathy at all.

After swallowing two bowls of medicine, her stomach felt like it was churning, and she vomited out blood and minced meat. At that moment, she seemed to feel that every inch of her body was soaked in tears, and she felt weak and powerless.

And now, Su Wanyu pulled herself away from her memories and gently put the last spoonful of medicine into Guo's lips, with a subtle sense of irony and revenge in her action.

Guo waved her hand gently, her voice weak and feeble: "I'm sorry, this soup is quite tasty."

Su Wanyu put down the empty bowl, stood up, and said calmly: "If mother likes it, I will come back to make it tomorrow."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Guo alone in the dim room. The door creaked shut, leaving only a dim light in the room, making her look particularly lonely.

As night fell, Guo suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She screamed all night long, but the courtyard was dead silent and no one responded to her calls.

The next morning, the sudden pain disappeared inexplicably. She mistakenly thought it was caused by the wound and did not connect the incident with Su Wanyu.

It was not until three days later, when she found that her once black and shiny hair began to fall out, that she realized there must be something fishy in the soup.

"Someone come! Someone come quickly!" Guo struggled to her feet angrily and shouted towards the door, but there was only dead silence outside the door, without any response.

She tried to push the door open, but found it was locked tightly. Despair and fear spread in her heart.

She slammed the door hard and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Someone, let me out! I want to see Master Zheng!"

What responded to her was the cold words of a concubine in the same courtyard: "Auntie Guo, don't bother yourself. The master has ordered that for the sake of your injury, you are not allowed to step out of this door."

Guo was furious and shouted, "Who do you think you are? How dare you act so presumptuous in front of me!"

However, the concubine just sneered, her words full of disdain: "Madame Guo, you are just a member of Fanghua Pavilion now, what is the difference between you and us lowly people? Save your energy and live a few more days."

As the door slammed shut, the surroundings fell into dead silence again.

Guo's fingers gripped the door sill tightly, her eyes filled with hatred: "Remember this, I will make you pay the price!"

That night, Guo's knocking on the door and cries for help did not cause any ripples.

And all of this was carefully planned by Su Wanyu.

Mother Zhou was dismissed and the maids were sent away from the capital. Guo was isolated and helpless and could only hope for help from the Guo family.

However, how could Lord Zheng allow the Guo family to set foot in this yard?

Guo's cries became weaker and weaker. When she accidentally looked at the bronze mirror, she found that all her black hair had fallen out.

Under the moonlight, the bald head reflected a dazzling cold light. If Lord Zheng came to visit out of old friendship, he would probably turn away because of this horrifying sight.

Guo punched the bronze mirror hard, and it shattered, with the fragments flying everywhere, just like her shattered heart at the moment.

Unlike Jiang Yingying's hysteria, Guo was surprisingly calm. She stared at the broken mirror, and the truth gradually surfaced.

It turns out that all of this was Su Wanyu's careful planning!

"Why? How could this happen?" Guo's eyes were bloodshot and she muttered to herself in disbelief.

The seemingly weak woman who had been bullied by her mother and son turned out to be the master of her destiny and bound her tightly.

"Impossible! How could it be her? That timid merchant's daughter! How could she be so scheming?!" Guo's face was filled with shock and confusion.

If it was her own sister who did it, she might be able to accept it, but the one who hurt her to this point was actually the daughter-in-law whom she never took seriously!

"If I had known earlier, I should have been ruthless to her and let her go to see the King of Hell sooner!"

Guo sneered, her body trembling with anger. She staggered towards the bed filled with the smell of medicine, and the anger in her heart could no longer be suppressed.

The once dignified and elegant image of Mrs. Zheng completely collapsed at this moment.

The Zheng family's courtyard was vast and boundless. Guo's shouts echoed in the empty space, but no one responded.

At dawn, the first ray of sunlight shone through the window lattice, illuminating a corner of the room. Su Wanyu once again carried the medicine jar and walked into Guo's house.

Hearing the footsteps, Guo's eyelids trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes dazedly. Before she could see who was coming, she rolled off the bed anxiously: "Is it Yan'er? Are you finally here to see me?"

"Yan'er, mother is looking forward to seeing you day and night, just to see you." Her words were full of anticipation and worry.

"That little Guo didn't bully you, did she? Your father didn't have any bad intentions towards you, did he?" Guo asked in rapid succession, full of worry.

"Hey, mother has to tell you, you have to be careful of that girl Su Wanyu!"

"It's her! She's the one who caused all this, Mom. Yan'er, you have to avenge Mom! It's her! She's the one who tortured Mom to the point where she's unrecognizable!"

Guo's voice was full of resentment and unwillingness. She had never expected that her lifelong pride and dignity would be crushed so easily in the hands of a young woman.

Guo staggered, moving towards the old wooden door, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, her voice mixed with anger and unwillingness: "That vixen, how can she be qualified to step into our doorstep? If she wasn't greedy for the petty profits of her Su family, she wouldn't even be worthy of carrying our shoes! Listen to my advice, find a suitable time, let her get pregnant, and then use the life in her belly to force her to take out all the gold and silver. Once the money is in hand, we will make her live a life worse than death, peel off her skin, pull out her tendons, and then we will relieve the hatred in our hearts!"
