Chapter 178 I give you face!
Mrs. Zhou originally had a gentle smile on her face, but it immediately faded.
She raised her chin and looked at Zhou Lingge with contempt in her eyes.
"Fifth Miss...you're really being too arrogant today. Not only do you not take me, your legal mother, seriously, you don't even show the slightest respect to your eldest sister, the Queen."
"Do you still remember... who saved your life when you were dying as a child? If it weren't for Ya'er's kindness, who gave you food and found a doctor for you, do you think you would be alive today? Without Ya'er, you would have died long ago..."
Back then, she wanted to kill this concubine's daughter.
But Yaer couldn't bear it and begged her to let Zhou Lingge go.
She let the concubine go for Yaer's sake.
Otherwise, she would have killed this annoying concubine long ago.
Who would have thought that this ungrateful person would gain power overnight, climb onto the emperor's throne, and become the high and mighty imperial concubine. Now he even dares to put on airs in front of Ya'er and bully her?
Mrs. Zhou's eyes were full of coldness.
She stared at Zhou Lingge intently.
"How long do you think you can hold on to the emperor's favor?"
"How long can you keep using your beauty to please others? Zhou Lingge... if you didn't have the Zhou family's support, do you think you could have become a noble concubine? I advise you to take a good look at your own identity and your current situation."
Zhou Lingge raised his eyebrows and looked at Mrs. Zhou with a smile.
She didn't expect that this vicious woman would lose control so quickly and start thinking about taking advantage of her.
She was still thinking about playing slowly with this vicious woman.
But now she has changed her mind.
Since she wants to die...she will help her!
Zhou Lingge blinked her eyes, looking innocent.
"What did mother say?"
"How could I forget the kindness my elder sister gave me in saving my life? My elder sister and I are both from the Zhou family. We prosper together and suffer together... I understand such a simple truth..."
A hint of pride flashed in Mrs. Zhou's eyes.
You see, this concubine's daughter is just a mean person. If you are a little polite to her, she will become ignorant of the world.
If you give her a cold look or say a few words of scolding, her attitude will soften.
Haha, after all, he is just a fool who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Mrs. Zhou walked closer to Zhou Lingge and patted her cheek.
"Fifth Miss, as long as you understand what I mean."
"From now on, remember to assist your elder sister well in the harem and consolidate her position as queen. The child in your belly should also respect your elder sister as her legitimate mother. In front of your elder sister, you must always put her first. I don't want to see the scene at dinner today again..."
"do you understand?"
Zhou Lingge lowered her eyes and replied word by word, "Thank you for reminding me, stepmother. I understand."
Madam Zhou's smile grew even more smug. She gently tidied the loose hair around Zhou Lingge's ear and said, "Fifth Miss is still as obedient and docile as before... In that case, I won't tell His Majesty about you secretly sending someone to drug your eldest sister."
Zhou Lingge's body trembled slightly.
Mrs. Zhou raised her eyebrows and said, "You idiot, are you scared?"
Haha... now she has this handle in her hand, which means she has Zhou Lingge under control.
Madam Zhou curled her lips, still smiling gently: "As long as you are obedient, I can forgive all the past."
"Remember, don't attack your eldest sister again, otherwise if I find any clues... I will never let you go, you bitch."
Zhou Lingge slowly raised his head and looked at Mrs. Zhou quietly.
"Mother...if I don't do as you say, how do you want to deal with me?"
"Will you do it like when we were little... secretly send someone to prick my fingers and toes with needles? Or will you let me starve and freeze... kneel on the ground in the pouring rain to clean your toilet? Or will you send someone to lock me in a pitch-black dark room and let countless rats gnaw at my body, nearly driving me crazy?"
Mrs. Zhou was stunned. She didn't expect Zhou Lingge to suddenly bring up her childhood.
She thought that it was such a long time ago and Zhou Lingge was still young at that time, so he should have forgotten those things long ago.
But when she heard these words, it was clear that Zhou Lingge had engraved them deep in her heart, and she remembered them clearly.
Oh, this little guy actually remembers it so clearly.
It seems that her influence is still there, and Zhou Lingge must be afraid of her.
Madam Zhou sneered, "Since you know how many tricks I have, then stop provoking your elder sister and bullying her. Otherwise, I will not only kill you, but also the remains of your lowly concubine and her family... I will take care of them all."
"You probably don't know yet, right? Your father has recently found your aunt's family. If you behave well, perhaps I'll show mercy and let you meet them. But if you disobey and make me angry, I won't let your aunt's family go."
Zhou Lingge clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes were filled with coldness.
She thought back to the tortures she had endured as a child, and how she had clung to her mother's bloodied arm when she died...
A bloodthirsty murderous intent surged in her eyes.
Zhou Lingge slapped Madam Zhou in the face: "I really give you face!"
Mrs. Zhou staggered back a step after being hit.
Her mind went blank as she stared at Zhou Lingge in a daze. "You, you actually hit me? Zhou Lingge, are you crazy? You don't care about your aunt's ashes, so don't you care about her family too? And... aren't you afraid that I'll tell His Majesty about you drugging the Queen?"
"If His Majesty knew how cruel you were, he would surely despise you."
Zhou Lingge found it extremely amusing. "First, His Majesty has already issued an order for my father to make my mother a co-wife. My mother's remains and tablet have been placed in the Zhou family's ancestral hall. So that's not my concubine, but my mother! Second, my mother's family members are all dead... From the moment my mother was murdered, they were all dead too."
Her mother was a singer.
If her family had not sold her, how could she, a daughter of a commoner family, become a singer in a brothel?
Those so-called relatives of her mother have been taking advantage of her mother's life all these years.
I guess those people already knew about it when her mother died.
But they pretended not to know, and no one even came to collect my mother's body.
My mother's grave has been buried alone in the wilderness for so many years.
If Qin Feiling had not issued the decree, her mother would still be a wandering ghost.
Have they ever visited the grave and burned paper money for their mother?
Haha, it’s better not to let her see those so-called relatives of her family.
Otherwise, not only would she deny their identity, she would also ruthlessly massacre their entire clan.
Zhou Lingge grabbed Mrs. Zhou's wrist.
The corners of her lips curled up, and she smiled sinisterly. "Third, how do you think Xie was banished to the cold palace and sentenced to death? That was all my masterpiece. His Majesty is not stupid, how could he not understand the clumsy performances I put on? Yet, to please me, he chose to help the tyrant and helped me punish Xie... Hahaha, vicious? Disgusted? Feng, you are so naive!"
