Rebirth of a Village Girl - Chapter 1184 - 296: Stunning Everyone_5

Chapter 1184: 296: Stunning Everyone_5

Zhou Zixian kept speaking while carefully watching Master Du’s facial expression. Seeing that there was no change in his expression, she bravely continued.

“Master, in my opinion, Ni Yang is such a flirtatious…”

The rest of her sentence got stuck in Zhou Zixian’s throat, unable to come out.

Because a slender hand had directly grasped her neck, tightening slowly.

The string of red Buddha Beads was emitting a dazzling light around her neck.

“Clang!”

The teacup in Zhou Zixian’s hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

The man’s facial features were still as gentle as ever, but his eyes were cold to the point of terror, and his voice was coated with a layer of harshness, “Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of judging her?”

It was terrifying.

So terrifying.

Zhou Zixian’s face turned deathly pale, her blood seemingly running in reverse.

…She, she had underestimated Ni Yang’s importance in Master Du’s heart!

Master Du narrowed his eyes and directly threw Zhou Zixian out.

Her body crashed against the bookshelf.

“Bang!”

Zhou Zixian felt as if all her bones had broken in that instant.

The pain was unbearable!

But it wasn’t over yet.

Just at that moment, a foot wearing cloth shoes stepped on her face.

“Leaving you alive is to have you pray for her and recite scriptures for the rest of your life. You’d better pray that every day of her life is safe and happy, for if she encounters the slightest mishap, I will hold you and your maternal family accountable!”

Zhou Zixian had been in the Du residence for three years, and she had never seen Master Du like this before.

At this moment, he was like a devil climbing out from the depths of hell.

Utterly ruthless.

Regret.

Zhou Zixian truly regretted it.

She should not have overestimated herself in competing with Ni Yang.

She was wrong…

She was truly wrong.

Just then, a knock came from outside the door, “Master, are you in there?”

The commotion here had been too loud, attracting the attention of the servants outside.

“I am.” Master Du’s expression became indifferent as he withdrew his foot, calm as if the ruthless person from before was not him, “I was just joking with the second madam. You all go down first; I’ll call for you if needed.”

“Understood.”

Master Du sat back down on the chair, “If you’re not dead, get up and clean this mess up immediately.”

Zhou Zixian dragged her heavy body, enduring the pain as she got up from the ground, “Alright, alright.”

In the west wing of the courtyard lived Auntie Madam Chu Xiangyi.

Chu Xiangyi was a genuine lady of an eminent family, coming from the old society with traditional kindness in her bones. Because she had fallen in love with Master Du at a young age, she married him despite knowing that he did not love her and could not give her anything.

Over the years, Chu Xiangyi’s deep affection for Master Du remained unchanged.

Even her hobbies followed Master Du’s.

She observed a vegetarian diet and recited Buddhist Scripture every day, dressed in simple elegance, never killing, at peace with the world, all for the hope of getting closer to Master Du.

Unfortunately, unrequited love is like flowers longing for water that does not feel the same.

“Madam, Master spent the night in the north side again tonight. It seems there was quite a commotion,” said Chu Xiangyi’s personal assistant, Chu Yuehong.

Called an assistant now, in the old society, she would’ve been Chu Xiangyi’s personal maid.

She had grown up in the Chu Family and had a very good relationship with Chu Xiangyi.

Chu Xiangyi turned a page of the Buddhist Scripture in her hand, her tone calm, “That’s good news. I hope she can bear him an offspring.”

Chu Yuehong said, “Madam, don’t you think this is too unfair to you? You are the chief madam, yet that woman from the north side lords over you every day! Who does she think she is!”

The corners of Chu Xiangyi’s lips lifted in a faint smile, “I chose this myself; I can’t blame others.”

She had no regrets about her choice made in her younger days.

If she could do it all over again, she would still make the same choice.

As long as she could quietly stay by his side, even if devoid of affection and love, as long as he gave her a status, she would be content.

Seeing Chu Xiangyi like this, Chu Yuehong sighed helplessly.

Chu Xiangyi was accustomed to not competing or clamoring, quietly waiting. Even if Chu Yuehong felt anxious, it was useless.

But she felt sorry for Chu Xiangyi.

Over these years, Master Du had been indifferent towards Chu Xiangyi, not even bothering with the pretense of care.

Even on the day Chu Xiangyi married Master Du, he did not step foot into her room. Correct content is on

She was just an ornament in the Du residence.

A beautiful, decorative vase.
