The inner voice was overheard, and the whole court was eating melons together

After a pause, Xia Wanjun continued:

“At that time, I was thinking, I should leave the prison first.

Only by leaving there will I have a chance to find evidence and rescue our family.

That’s what I thought, but my grandmother, my father and my mother said that as long as I live well, it’s fine.

Two months after I was released from prison, no useful evidence was found, and my entire family was executed.

At that time, I fainted, and when I woke up, my father and his family had already been buried by people arranged by Zuo Yanfeng."

“Later, I realized that the Zuo family was not a good family.

The reason why Zuo Yanfeng showed up with the marriage certificate was not because he was particularly affectionate.

Rather, my father sensed something was wrong before anything happened.

He contacted the Zuo family in advance, and in exchange for half of the Xia family's wealth, he asked them to go to the government to get a marriage certificate, so that they could pick me up to go to the Zuo family.

My mother comes from a merchant family and owns many farms and shops. Half of her wealth is inestimable.

Faced with huge benefits, the Zuo family was tempted, and I became Zuo Yanfeng's wife.

I was too naive and regarded him as my only salvation.

The other half of our family property was confiscated and put into the national treasury during the house raid."

Song Yaoyao did not interrupt Xia Wanjun and just listened quietly.

Xia Wanjun continued:

“After learning that my father and his family had died, I fell ill.

During that time, Zuo Yanfeng stayed by my side all the time and took care of me in every possible way.

I thought I still had a home.

Two years passed like this, and by chance, I overheard a conversation between Zuo Yanfeng and his father.

Only then did I realize that Zuo Yanfeng's kindness to me over the years was all fake. He just wanted to get what he wanted from me.

Father Zuo heard from somewhere that my mother had a large sum of property hidden outside, which she entrusted to her confidants to manage.

My parents are both dead, so I am definitely the only one who knows the things.

The reason why Zuo Yanfeng was nice to me was because of those properties.

Zuo Yanfeng just wanted me to fall in love with him and be inseparable from him, and then gradually deceive me into telling him where the properties were hidden?

When I heard these words, my heart sank to the bottom.

I wanted to leave there secretly, but was discovered by Zuo Yanfeng.

After Zuo Yanfeng and the others were exposed, they stopped pretending completely.

Since then, Zuo Yanfeng's attitude towards me has been extremely bad.

It was also at that time that I found out that since the first day I entered the Zuo family, they had put a small amount of safflower in my food every day, which was the reason why I had never been able to get pregnant.

The Zuo family never intended for me to give birth to their child from the beginning."

When it comes to children, there is a slight fluctuation in Xia Wanjun's eyes.

Then, Xia Wanjun continued:

"In fact, my mother didn't leave any property behind. I told Zuo Yanfeng many times, but he didn't believe it.

He thought that I was just stubborn and had been living a good life for too long. He wanted to teach me a lesson and let me know that he was my only support in this world.

At the beginning, the Zuo family withdrew the maids and old women from my yard, and I had to do everything by myself.

They only ate leftovers.

The Zuo family wants to use this method to force me to tell them about my mother’s property. There is no property at all, so what do they want me to say?

I endured it all.

I live worse than a servant in the Zuo family.

I want a divorce, or Zuo Yanfeng can divorce me, that's fine too.

But Zuo Yanfeng said that it would be a pipe dream for me to leave the Zuo family before he got my mother's property!

He also said that he would not let me leave.

People outside say that the Zuo family is loyal and righteous. Even after the Xia family got into trouble, they still treated me, the eldest daughter of the Xia family, very well.

There's no way they'd let me go out and ruin the reputation of their Zuo family!

After that, he treated me even worse!

Even the servants in the mansion can come up and step on me."

Xia Wanjun's tears fell, and she continued:

“I want to die, but when I think about the unclear deaths of our Xia family, I must live and clear the injustice of our Xia family.

And so I have been living.

I was prepared to be abused for a long time, but Zuo Yanfeng's shamelessness really impressed me.

So much time has passed, and Zuo Yanfeng, seeing that he couldn't get the whereabouts of those properties from me, wanted to use me to win over the powerful.

Zuo Yanfeng wanted to curry favor with Park Zhiling, the grandson of Duke Park.

Who is Park Zhiling? I'm sure everyone in the capital knows him.

He was a pervert who liked to torture women in bed. Many women were tortured to death by him.

By the time I found out about this, Park Zhiling had already sent someone to pick me up in a sedan chair.

When I was getting into the sedan chair, I saw you adults passing by, so I took advantage of their unpreparedness and ran over to ask you for help.

You will know what happened later.”

Xia Wanjun was already in tears, and Song Yaoyao handed her a handkerchief.

After she calmed down a little, she asked:

"The people chasing you outside, are they from the Zuo family or the Park family?"

“Someone from the Zuo family.

Zuo Yanfeng didn't expect me to run away.

He was afraid that what he had done would be known by others, so he did not chase me himself, but sent his servants to chase me.

But I bet he was watching from a distance."

As she spoke, Xia Wanjun knelt down again:

“My Lord, please save me.

Now only you can save me.

I can't be caught and I can't die yet. The injustice of our Xia family has not been washed away yet, I must not die!"

After saying this, Xia Wanjun kowtowed to Song Yaoyao again.

Song Yaoyao quickly helped her up and said:

"We can't just take your one-sided words on this matter, we need to investigate further.

I will arrange for you to live in our house in the near future. Don't worry, no one can take you away from me."

If this is true, Song Yaoyao will never forgive the bastard Zuo Yanfeng.

Regardless of whether Xia Wanjun's mother left any property or not, it is shameless enough for a grown man to plot against his wife's property.

Since ancient times, the property brought by a woman's parents is equivalent to her dowry, which cannot be touched by her husband's family.

Only a coward would be obsessed with what his wife has in her hands every day.

What's more, now he is preparing to send his wife to someone else's bed in order to please others.

It's really rare to find people rushing to cheat on you these days!

However, this matter has touched Song Yaoyao's bottom line.

Such men deserve to die!

Just then, someone from the government office came to report:

"Princess, there is a man named Zuo Yanfeng outside. He said he is here to pick up his wife."

Hearing this, Xia Wanjun's body couldn't help but tremble.

Song Yaoyao patted her hands and said:

"Don't be afraid of him, I'm here!

Go hide inside for a while."
