Chapter 409 Letter of Dissolution
"Who told you that this is money you got without working for it?"
"You are so selfish that you only care about your own life and death, and never think about the life and death of others. If you had considered the life and death of others, you would not have ended up like this today." Gu Jianchu shook his head helplessly.
Zhang Ran originally thought that she was firm enough, but after hearing what the Queen said, her heart cracked and tears welled up in her eyes.
Everyone says that the Queen Mother is a living Bodhisattva. In fact, the Queen Mother just understands suffering better, sees injustice more clearly, and helps these vulnerable groups to get justice.
In the face of oppression and power, the Queen's tiny help was like a deity descending from heaven to them. How could she not be a living Bodhisattva?
After the lesson just now, no matter what the Queen said, Madam Zhang and Lord Zhang did not dare to refute a word. After all, their faces were still aching. They now knew how the Emperor protected the Queen. Not only did he not allow others to say a bad word about the Queen, but if anyone said something bad about the Queen, they would be the ones in trouble.
Gu Jianchu knew that Madam Zhang and Lord Zhang would not listen to what she said. They would only have a deep-rooted feeling that it was Zhang Ran who had implicated them. After all, they had this idea for decades. How could they suddenly change their minds and say that they were wrong? They would never deny her. They did not speak because they were afraid of the royal pressure.
Gu Jianchu was not saying this to them. She meant to say it to Zhang Ran, for fear that this poor girl would get stuck in a dead end after being scolded by Mrs. Zhang. She had finally come out of it and was thinking about living her own life, but would be dragged back into the abyss and into a state of self-doubt by their words.
After all, apart from him and the emperor, no one present could stop the willful couple.
Gu Jianchu's words really worked for Zhang Ran.
At least her troubled heart was relieved a little.
Zhang Ran held back the tears that were about to burst out, sniffed hard a few times, and tried to keep her emotions as balanced as possible. She looked back at Madam Zhang who was being held down, "Mother, I want to ask you one last question. Since you gave birth to me, why do you treat me so badly?"
This is also a question that Zhang Ran has been thinking about for more than ten years and still can't figure out. She has never done anything wrong. Is it just because her parents have had a hard life since she was born?
Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but sneer. She looked at Zhang Ran with her eyes wide open. "Because you are unlucky, because you are a jinx. If you hadn't been born, how could our family have become so bad? I suffered so much when I gave birth to you, and your father was demoted the next day. You say you are not a jinx, then what is it? For a little jinx like you, we didn't kick you out, but instead raised you by our side. We have done our utmost. But you, a little jinx, not only are you not grateful, but you are also repaying kindness with hatred. It is really chilling."
Although she had guessed it in her heart, after hearing Mrs. Zhang say it herself, Zhang Ran just felt it was absurd. The Queen Mother was right. They pushed all the blame for their unhappy lives onto her. As long as they were not living well, they could feel at ease.
Zhang Ran knelt down in front of Madam Zhang and kowtowed three times to Madam Zhang and Master Zhang. After a moment, her forehead flushed. "No matter what the reason, I must be grateful to my father and mother for giving birth to me and raising me."
Madam Zhang was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, but before she could open her mouth, she heard Zhang Ran continue, "But you took away my marriage and gave it to my sister, and also stole my silver, money, and jade pendant, and sold me to Mr. Zhang's mansion to bear a child. I have repaid every debt of gratitude for your raising and bearing me. From now on, I sever all ties with you and have no further connection."
"You little bitch, you say there is no connection, then there is no connection. I almost lost half my life giving birth to you, but now you are repaying my kindness and breaking off all ties with me for such a small matter. Little bitch, don't forget, my blood is still in you, how can you break off all ties with me?" Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but yell after hearing this.
"If possible, I really don't want your blood to remain on my body. Madam Zhang, you said you almost lost half your life giving birth to me, but you sent me to the palace and sold me to Mr. Zhang. I also lost half my life. The 30,000 taels of silver is my repayment for your kindness. As for my half life, I have already returned it to you. We are even now. Madam Zhang, we have no relationship from now on. So you don't have to worry about me, a jinx, affecting your fortunes."
"You were kind-hearted back then and didn't abandon or kill me, but now I'm leaving on my own initiative so I won't affect you. I wish you and your family good luck. If you continue to suffer from bad luck, it has nothing to do with me. After all, I've already distanced myself from you and severed all ties with you. If you still want a letter of severance, I can write it to you right here on the spot."
As she spoke, Zhang Ran spread out the handkerchief that the Queen had just given her on the ground, then bit her finger hard and wrote the words "severance of engagement" and the contents of the letter on the handkerchief.
When Mrs. Zhang saw how cruel Zhang Ran was, she finally realized that Zhang Ran was serious and was not threatening them or joking.
"Zhang Ran, you bitch, you actually dared to write a letter of severance. What will happen to your brother if you sever ties with us? You have hurt us to such a state. Your brother is still young, who will take care of him?" Madam Zhang struggled to move forward, but was held tightly by the young eunuch behind her.
Not to mention Zhang Ran, these outsiders couldn't stand it anymore after hearing what Mrs. Zhang said. Not only did she look down on her own daughter, but she also wanted to continue to exploit her to help take care of their son. How could there be such a good thing in the world?
Gu Jianchu wanted to kick Madam Zhang out.
She stroked her belly hard and kept adjusting her breathing to control her emotions.
I've dealt with so many things, but this is the first time I've seen someone so speechless.
After Madam Zhang finished scolding, Zhang Ran had just finished writing the letter of severance. Hearing what Madam Zhang said, Zhang Ran suddenly found it funny. "I have taken care of my brother and sister for more than ten years. I have taken care of them enough. I have nothing to do with you, so naturally they have nothing to do with me. Besides, he is not young anymore and can buy an official position. Why can't he take care of himself? Even if I don't take care of him, don't he still have his elder sister?"
"Mrs. Zhang, you're really funny. One moment you think I'm the one who brought you bad luck, and the next moment you want us to take care of you. How can such a good thing happen?"
