Chapter 45: The Plan to Take Down the Commander (13)

Ning Xi quickly stepped forward, putting on a smile, and said aggrievedly, "Sister, this maid came back sneaking around with this broken kite in her hand. I was afraid she had done something to betray you, so I asked to see the kite, but she wouldn't let me. What did she say, that I wasn't worthy to see it? According to the family rules, this is..."

"Is this your responsibility or mine?" Song Zhishu said coldly.

Ning Xi stiffened and answered somewhat awkwardly, "Of course it's my sister's responsibility."

"Then what right do you have to touch my people!" The sudden roar made Ning Xi tremble, and she bit her lip tightly, looking pitiful.

"Ning Xi, no matter what, if anything happens to her, I'll die with you!" Song Zhishu's voice turned cold. Her frail body suddenly found strength as she picked up the weak girl and carried her back to the backyard step by step.

The room was chillingly cold, just like Song Zhishu's heart. She held Yu'er's hand tightly, her eyes, which had been filled with tenderness, now pleading: "Yu'er, come back."

From a young age, she was burdened with the stigma of causing her mother's death, and from then on, she lived a life of utter darkness. Ironically, Song Xingcheng picked up a maid from somewhere, and seeing his own daughter so destitute and timid, he couldn't bear it and gave her to her.

When Song Zhishu first met this little girl who was a few months younger than herself, she was still tiny, just a skeleton, as if she only had a layer of skin. Song Zhishu felt very helpless at the time; she couldn't even take care of herself, let alone have such a maid.

But I was so young then, and naturally I couldn't bear to let someone in the same boat die under my nose. So, I don't know how, the two of them survived.

They weren't sisters, but they were closer than sisters. Song Zhishu suddenly smiled warmly.

From childhood to adulthood, through countless springs, winters, summers, and autumns, the one who has always been by my side is this innocent and unpretentious girl.

"If something happens to you, I'll be bullied alone in the Ji family..." Song Zhishu gently stroked her pale cheek and whispered, "Are you willing to do that?"

Reluctant

But we have no choice but to give it up.

"Madam, this little girl is too badly injured, this old man... is powerless to help..."

"What do you mean?" Song Zhishu stepped forward and grabbed the old woman's collar, her eyes bloodshot, and shouted hoarsely, "What do you mean?! She's such a healthy person, she's still alive! How could we be powerless to help her!"

"Sister! Don't scare her." Ning Xi smiled and hurriedly stepped forward to break up the fight. Song Zhishu staggered to the ground, a chill running through her. It was a fear that came from her very soul. No matter how disheveled she was, she knelt on the ground, her hair disheveled and her pale face streaked with tears. She pleaded, "Doctor, I beg you, I beg you, please save her... She can't die... If she dies, I'll be all alone..." Her voice grew softer and softer until it disappeared.

The doctor glanced awkwardly at Ji Rong standing behind him. Looking down at the disheveled woman, he muttered to himself like a madman: "She can't die…she can't die."

His eyes revealed blatant ruthlessness and coldness. See? This is the price of marrying into this family. He had naturally seen through Ning Xi's true colors, yet pathetically, he felt not a ripple of emotion. Perhaps he hadn't realized when he was no longer the impetuous young man he once was. He was now calm, ruthless, and greedy.

The woman kneeling on the ground was his shadow from the past.

Ji Rong wanted to laugh sarcastically, but at this moment, he couldn't make a sound at all. He just stared blankly at the woman who seemed to be out of her mind.
