Chapter 553 The Sin...
Chapter 553 The Sin...
There was guilt in his eyes, but later it replaced with a smile as if he won something precious. "Finally, you are mine. Just wait and soon I will marry you and then we can be happy together."
His words had no meaning for her, and they passed like she didn't hear him. Her eyes closed, which only had tears left in it, with her face having painful expressions. He got up and wore his clothes. Once he covered her with a quilt, he left after closing the door of the room.
When Zhang Wei was going downstairs, Nanny Song, who just came to the kitchen from the servant's room to fetch water for herself, saw him. "What is he doing here this late?"
The way his clothes and hair looked messy and the way he was walking, she understood he was drunk. There was no one in the home, so what was he doing upstairs? This question troubled Nanny Song and she went upstairs to check.
As she passed by the rooms, all the rooms were closed but the one. She looked at Ming Fangsu's room from where she could hear someone crying. Without a moment's delay, she ran towards Ming Fangsu's room.
The moment Ming Fangsu realized Zhang Wei left, she couldn't help but let out her pain by crying out loud. All that time when he was humiliating her, she didn't cry and endured it as if she was not feeling anything, but it was the limit of her endurance.
Nanny Song opened the door of the room just to see Ming Fangsu covered in a quilt and curled in a ball lying on her one side. She was crying and sobbing. A bad feeling crossed Nanny song's mind and she was praying it should not be what she was thinking.
Nanny Song stepped closer to the bed and asked, "Young Miss. Are you okay?"
There was no reply from Ming Fangsu. Though there was a quilt covering her, one could see her bare shoulder from the back. Nanny Song looked around in the room and she saw Ming Fangsu's torn clothes lying on the floor at the other side of the bed. The realization hit her hard to shock her that she couldn't think of what to do.
Nanny Song ran outside of the room to go downstairs so she could use the landline phone to make a call to someone from the family as everyone was out for the wedding. When she reached downstairs, she saw Zhang Jei entering the Mansion. Seeing her, Nanny Song ran in her direction, catching her breath.
"Young Mistress!"
Seeing Nanny Song so scared and anxious, Zhang Jei asked, "What happened?"
"Y-You should come with him. I think something bad has happened." She tried to say as clearly as she could while breathing heavily.
'Something bad' these words startled Zhang Jei. "What…."
"Just come with me." Saying, Nanny Song led her way upstairs to Ming Fangsu's room.
When Ming Fangsu left the wedding venue, no one knew about it. After some time, Zhang Jei searched for her and when she couldn't find her, she realized Ming Fangsu must have left the wedding as it must hurt her. It worried Zhang Jei and she wanted to be with her younger sister-in-law whom she always treated as her own younger sister.
Saying bye to Lu Family and informing her family members she left the venue but never ever in her dreams, she thought something terrible might happen.
When she entered the room and saw Ming Fangsu crying and sobbing, she hurriedly ran towards her bed.
"What happened, Fangsu?" Saying, when her sight cross across her bare shoulders and marks on it the next words couldn't make their way out clearly. "W-Why…are…you crying?"
There was no reply from Ming Fangsu other than just the sound of her crying with her eyes shut tightly and her face buried in the pillow which had a black stain on its white cover which resulted from the eye makeup which washed away with her tears.
Zhang Jei looked at Nanny Song, who was standing beside her with the teary eyes. Nanny Song moved her sight towards the torn clothes lying on the floor to bring into Zhang Jei's attention which made her look at nanny Song questioningly.
"Young Master Zhang Wei was here," Nanny Song answered, though Zhang Jei didn't ask as she was puzzled and shocked by the situation.
Just a single line from Nanny song was enough for Zhang Jei to get all the answers, though she didn't want to believe it. Zhang Jei sat at the edge of the bed and put her hand on Ming Fangsu's shoulder to make her at least look at her. Her continuous crying of Ming Fangsu and a realization of the situation broke her heart.
"Ming Fangsu, look at me, please."
Ming Fangsu opened her eyes to look at her, her eyes red and showed it broke completely her.
"Sister-in-law!" Saying she cried again. Zhang Jei felt her throat choked, but it was not the time to give up and she asked, "Was it, my brother?"
Ming Fangsu nodded that broke the last ray of hope in Zhang Jei's heart where she wished it was not the truth and nothing had happened. She was not worried about her brother, but she was worried about what had happened with Ming Fangsu and the moment she got it confirmed, she felt as if the world had shattered in pieces. Her mind felt blocked thinking what to do, everything seems blank as what had happened was not something they could change back.
"Fangsu, listen to me. I am here for you. You can cry as much as you want." Saying she wiped the tears which would not stop anytime soon. She held Ming Fangsu's hand in hers, but she didn't know how to console her. "I will call for a doctor."
Saying Zhang Jei was about to instruct Nanny Song to call their family doctor but Ming Fangsu stopped them. "D-Don't."
