Chapter 151: Chapter 150: A Despairing Diary (Double Release)

Mrs. Yu was silent for a long, long time before she finally let out a soft laugh and said, "Have Yu Shi reply. I won’t see them. Tell him to tell Sheng Jie to take care of Jun’er.

Jun’er... has the Wang Family’s blood in his veins, unlike my poor Zhen’er. The Wang Family would never harm him; his life will be one of wealth and honor, clothed in silks and brocades, safe and smooth. This is the only thing I, as his mother, can do for him.

But my Zhen’er... she has been with me since she was young and never had a few good days. When we first moved to the Capital City, because of the malice from people around, she refused to speak or eat, becoming as thin as a skeleton.

At that time, I already regretted it. I wanted to take my Zhen’er away; as long as Zhen’er was happy, I would give up anything. But my Zhen’er had such a kind heart. She saw that I couldn’t bear to leave Sheng Jie and held my sleeve, saying, ’Mom, let’s stay. Zhen’er wants to stay.’

After that, she forced herself to eat, forced herself to be happy. She wasn’t even seven years old then! If I hadn’t insisted on marrying Sheng Jie, Zhen’er wouldn’t have ended up like this. If I had taken her away back then, Zhen’er might have married and had children by now...

This time, I won’t back down. I must find out who killed Zhen’er and avenge her death!"

Seeing the thick, unrelenting hatred on their mistress’s face, Nanny Zhou sighed inwardly.

Their mistress’s obsession is something even the Buddha can’t save her from; only relying on the Lord and the Young Lord is even more impossible.

She didn’t mention the Young Lord again and softly said, "But even though Young Madam Zhao and Jiang Erlang are here, neither of them are experts in investigating cases. Can they really find out who harmed Fifth Lady in these three days?"

Mrs. Yu closed her weary eyes and murmured, "It doesn’t matter; I have my plans. Just wait and see. That person won’t escape; even if they descend to the abyss of hell, they won’t escape."

In the brightly lit courtyard, everyone looked at the increasingly chaotic words in the daily record, their brows tightening more and more.

"September 20th, the fifth year of Tianxi, I can’t believe it’s been so many days since I last wrote in the daily record. These days, I’ve been in a daze, wishing that everything that happened that day was just a nightmare! But it’s not, it’s not. It’s precisely because I clearly know it’s not a nightmare that I feel so hopeless!

What should I do? What should I do? Why didn’t I just die! Why do I still want to live in this world?"

"September 22nd, the fifth year of Tianxi, I had a nightmare again last night. In the dream, that person called me Liu Zhenzhen, said I was lowly, said I was delusional, called me a maggot on the ground dreaming of becoming a Phoenix... I didn’t! I didn’t! Why in this world do good people not receive good rewards? Why?"

Before this, Wang Wuniang used to record in her daily log every day. After a four-day pause, the intervals between her entries grew longer, and later on, she didn’t even write the date.

"I can’t take it anymore, I feel like I’m about to collapse... Who can save me? I feel like I’m the dirtiest person in this world... If I die, would Mom be sad? Surely Shaohua and them would also be sad..."

"Today Shaohua and them came again. I didn’t see them. Little Tao said Shaohua was very worried, waiting for me for a long time in the hall. I also very much want to see them and talk with them...

I know mother is also very worried about me. Today she wanted me to go with her to the Tianxiang Pavilion to choose some cosmetics. I didn’t want to go, but seeing the worry in her eyes, I couldn’t bear to refuse... But why did fate have to let me meet Chen Xi and Shen Zhiyi! I hate them! It’s all because of them that person knew my name is Liu Zhenzhen and humiliated me like this. I hate them!"

"I’m done for, I’m really done for. Have my secrets been exposed? Especially Ninth Sister-in-law, why does she come looking for me every day? Does she know something? I even feel like her look at me is filled with disdain. I was wrong, I was wrong. After such a thing happened, I shouldn’t have clung to life. I should have died!"

"Why am I not dead yet?"

On the last page with writing in this daily record, there was simply and crudely written this sentence, so scrawled that those present could not recognize it without examining closely.

After reading it, everyone just felt that their hearts were trembling. This latter part, how could it be a normal daily account, it was clearly a woman’s desperate cry after falling into despair!

What on earth had she suffered to feel such pain that even the love of her closest family and friends could not rekindle her desire to live?

Who was the one that hurt Wang Wuniang and humiliated her with such words?!

They finally understood why Xu Ya, seemingly unrelated to the matter, was also brought in, just because Wang Wuniang had mentioned her in her daily log.

In the small open space by the pool, there was an eerie silence until Xu Jing’s voice sounded, "Was Liu Zhenzhen the name Wang Wuniang used before she followed her mother to marry into the Wang Family?"

Liu Fuyue quickly wiped her moist eyes and nodded, "Yes, Zhen’s biological father’s surname was Liu and her name was Liu Zhenzhen at the time. After she married into the Wang Family, her name changed to Wang Shuzhen. Zhen... didn’t like others mentioning her old name not because she disliked her father, but because she felt for Mrs. Yu.

After Mrs. Yu married into the Wang Family, people around always looked down on her, secretly talking about her background and second marriage. Zhen was worried that if her old name spread outside, people would use that name to mock her and thereby mock her mother.

It was only after we got familiar with Zhen that she told us privately."

That’s also the reason why they didn’t call her by her name but referred to her as Zhen.

Xu Jing nodded thoughtfully, suddenly turning to Chen Xi, "Given that, why does Miss Chen know Wang Wuniang’s original name?"

The daily account indeed mentioned that the person who humiliated Wang Wuniang knew her original name from Chen Xi.

Chen Xi’s face turned pale, never expecting she would really be related to this incident, and she quickly said, "I... I just heard it by accident. After I found out Wang Wuniang’s original name, indeed... indeed I intentionally mentioned it a few times in front of her. But after that, she shut herself in because of the annulment with Wu Sanlang, I never had a chance to see her!"

Xu Jing, however, curled her lips without any emotion, "Miss Chen, at this point, hiding anything is of no benefit to you. The Wang Family never liked Mrs. Yu and Wang Wuniang’s background, so they wouldn’t voluntarily mention their past before joining the Wang Family, they’d even help cover it up.

Even Young Madam Zhao and others only found out when Wang Wuniang herself revealed her original name to them after becoming familiar.

In this situation, how did you ’accidentally’ learn Wang Wuniang’s original name? Or, would you be willing to tell us in detail how you ’accidentally’ came to know Wang Wuniang’s original name?"
