Soft and crispy waist

A heart-wrenching cry came from the group of guards, much more shrill than any previous one, causing everyone to stop and take a step back.

Xia Gang curled up on the ground, his eyes rolling up in pain, and he kept shouting in pain, as if the pain was extreme.

"What happened? Is there a vital injury?"

"That's impossible. I saw those guys didn't even use swords. They just hit each other a few times. It wasn't as bad as when Xia Gang hit his wife. How could they be injured like this?"

"You're just pretending. You're shouting so loudly, but it looks like you haven't even bled a drop."

No one, whether the gangsters outside or the students inside, believed Xia Gang.

"Help me! Help...help me! My waist, my legs, I can't move!" Xia Gang shouted in horror, his hands kept touching down, and then slapping.

Madam Niu snorted coldly, "You're pretending to be so good, but after just a few beatings, you're already crippled? You're more precious than our concubine. You want to blackmail us? No way! Someone, report this to the police!"

"No! We can't report this to the authorities!" Madam Tian cried out, kneeling before Madam Niu and kowtowed repeatedly. "Please be magnanimous and don't report this to the authorities. He didn't mean to push you. Please have mercy on him, and spare us. I will serve you like a slave, and anything is possible."

Seeing that Nanny Niu did not respond, Madam Tian looked at Xia Zheng anxiously again. Just as she was about to turn around and kowtow, a hand held her forehead.

This hand looks so familiar.

But when I looked up, I saw that her hands were delicate and smooth, like white jade and green onions, completely different from Zheng'er's hands covered with calluses and frostbite. These were hands that only a noble person could have.

Xia Zheng didn't stay with Madam Tian. She stood up and approached Madam Niu, whispering something. Madam Niu's face changed, and she waved her hand, saying, "Forget it. Our aunt is kind-hearted and won't bother with you. But when we go back and see the doctor, if there is anything wrong between our aunt and the little master in her belly, none of you will be able to escape."

No one can escape?

When these words were spoken, everyone felt insecure.

"Get out of here with this bastard!"

After Niu Mama's shout, the thugs dared not disobey. Ignoring Xia Gang's screams of pain, two of them grabbed his hands, two grabbed his legs, and the group fled at a very fast speed.

The dean and teacher of the girls' school also arrived at this time. They kept apologizing to Xia Zheng and even suggested asking a doctor to take her pulse. Xia Zheng just shook her head and left.

She didn't say a word from beginning to end. When everyone was wondering if this concubine was a mute, Tuan'er rushed out.

After running all the way, he finally grabbed Xia Zheng's hand at the intersection of the mountain road.

Xia Zheng stopped and looked at Madam Niu and said, "Madam, please help me."

Niu Ma, who already knew about their relationship, thought about what had happened before and was afraid that if she didn't allow Xia Zheng to do something dangerous again, she nodded in agreement. "Only for a moment, Auntie, please don't embarrass me."

She nodded to thank Nanny Niu, and waited until Nanny Niu walked away before turning around and lifting the veil that had been covering her.

When the two sisters met again, tears flowed before words.

She reached out and gently wiped away the tears on Tuan'er's face, feeling Tuan'er's warmth. Looking at the person she hadn't seen for many years, Xia Zheng couldn't utter a word for a moment.

Tuan'er grabbed Xia Zheng's hand, looked at her muddy body and bulging belly, and was so distressed that she couldn't stop crying. She apologized hoarsely, "Sister, I'm sorry."

"It's good that you know you were wrong. Next time, don't act on your own like this. Tell me everything immediately. If I hadn't arrived in time today, there would have been no way to save you. Do you understand?"

Xia Zheng was both distressed and angry. When she ran over, she was afraid that she would be a step late, afraid that she would not be able to catch up, and afraid that just like in her previous life, one mistake would make her lose everything.

Fortunately, she was lucky this time, as someone knew about Zhang the Butcher's family, otherwise... Xia Zheng didn't even dare to think about it.

Tuan'er nodded with tears in her eyes. This time, she hated herself for being so self-righteous that she caused her sister to save her without caring about her own safety.

After seeing everything that happened today, Tuan'er understood even more clearly how difficult and challenging Xia Zheng's situation was. Even though she was Gu Yizi's concubine and even though she was pregnant, saving her still required risking her own life.

She couldn't help at all.

She couldn't drag her sister down.

"I understand. I won't do that again. I...I have something I want to tell you right now." Tuan'er raised her head with determination, met Xia Zheng's eyes, wiped away her tears, and said firmly, "I want to enter the palace and be a female official."

"Madam? Do you know..."

"I know it's not easy," Tuan'er interrupted Xia Zheng. "But sister, now that things have gotten this bad, the girls' school might not keep me. Even if they do, will Xia Gang let it go? If he finds out to my adoptive parents, it'll bring them even more trouble. Only by entering the palace can we get rid of him. Sister, let me go. I can take care of myself."

Xia Zheng was a little hesitant.

She understood how difficult it was to escape from the control of her parents in this world, not to mention that Tuan'er was Xia Gang's biological child, which made it even more difficult than her, not to mention Tao Yurong.

It's impossible for her to be so lucky every time to save Tuan'er.

Only by entering the palace can everything be ended.

Being a female official is not easy, and the palace is full of twists and turns, but it is also full of opportunities.

Xia Zheng knows better than anyone how important opportunity is.

But she had fought so hard until now, hoping that her mother and Tuan'er could live a stable life in the future, but now...

Xia Zheng hated herself. She hated that she wasn't climbing fast enough, hated that she wasn't capable enough, hated that she couldn't protect her mother and Tuan'er from worries, and couldn't even let Tuan'er study with peace of mind.

"Sister, you have to believe me, I can do it. I also want to do it and decide where to go, not just because I have no choice." There were stars in Tuan'er's eyes, and she was very sincere.

Once she made up her mind, she would not change it, and Xia Zheng knew it too.

Besides, there are not many choices for women in this world, and being a female official is one of the few good ways out.

"Okay, you go, but be careful everywhere. If you encounter any difficulties, be sure to find a way to send a message to the Yang family or the Zhenguogong Mansion. Sister will definitely rescue you."

"Yes." Tuan'er agreed solemnly. The two sisters looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

Xia Zheng reached out to pull Tuan'er's other hand, but before she could touch it, she heard Nanny Niu's urging voice.

The two looked at each other deeply, and finally let go of each other reluctantly.

When they returned to the Holy Mother Temple, everyone else had already entered the temple to worship. Nanny Niu took Xia Zheng all the way to the meditation room in the back.

He pushed the door open and stepped back first.

Xia Zheng walked in and closed the door. Before she looked up and walked in, a palm wind came at her, and then a slap hit her cheek hard, causing a burning pain.

Without covering her face, Xia Zheng bent her knees and knelt on the ground, looking down at Tao Yurong's dusty embroidered shoes.

It seemed that he had paced back and forth in the room many times.

"Are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing?" Tao Yurong tried her best to lower her voice, but she couldn't suppress the anger in her.

If Xia Zheng wasn't pregnant, she would have wanted to break her legs to see how she could run.

"I know what I am doing. For the sake of my sister, I can't care about anything else. I can't watch my sister being pushed into the devil's den. I have done so much and begged the princess to let my sister go, not to let my sister marry a fool and a devil. I think the princess would not want this." Xia Zheng raised her head and stared at Tao Yurong.
