The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 528 - Monster



Zhuang Mu Zi dislike to Lao Min Na not without reasons, before she came Zhuang Mu Zi relationship with Zhuang Bao Jie and Zhuang Li Yu were not this bad although they are not close however there's no animosity between us because Zhuang Li Yu because Jiang Yu Ran treats Zhuang Zi Mu Zi stricter than her children because she knew Zhuang Mu Zi who has no mother, maternal family, and reliable father can only depend on her own si for an outsider who doesn't understand they might think Jiang Yu Ran treat Zhuang Mu Zi quite harsh but for Zhuang Mu Zi who understand his stepmother concern he has nothing but love and gratitude to her.

Jiang Yu Ran know not incurred jealousy among the family she can't show her favorable to Zhuang Mu Zi too much so she searches for a good teacher but with a mediocre reputation to teach him. Because of this Zhuang Mu Zi's living condition at the manor was not so bad, even though they don't treat him with great respect like they treat Zhuang Bao Jie but no one bullies him either.

​​

Zhuang Bao Jie never kind to Zhuang Mu Zi but he never treats him harshly the same with Zhuang Li Yu but everything change after Lao Min Na came.

The first time Lao Min Na came, Lao Min n intelligent, strength and most of all her exquisite beauty smitten Zhuang Mu Zi instantly, just like every young man who had a crush he tries to court Lao Min Na however he realizes he can't show his feeling freely because Lao Min Na still Zhao Yi Chen fiancee and has a vague relationship with Jin Kai, so Zhuang Bao Jie can't let himself entangled with Lao Min Na without make his mother raised his eyebrows.

Lao Min Na becomes like a forbidden fruit to him, sweet and irresistible he becomes more obsessed to her.

It was around that time that Zhuang Bao Jie's temperament slowly changes, he becomes more arrogant, ambitious, and easily suspicious with everyone especially to him. Zhuang Mu Zi didn't know what Lao Min Na had said to him that make his stepbrother warry of him. 

The same could be said to Zhuang Li Yu, she becomes more stubborn and childish and for some reason, she becomes more hostile to Zhuang Mu Zi

Ironically Zhuang Bao Jie and Zhuang Li Yu is two people that he never wants to fall in discord in this lifetime because of his massive gratitude to Jiang Yu Ran, so Zhuang Bao Jie behavior make him feel dejected and restless. 

Then something happens a month ago, he suddenly has an accident during the hunting, actually, the accident wasn't that bad, Zhuang Mu Zi though it's only a simple fracture and she only needs to rest for a week or less but who could have known his leg worsen the next day, he called quite a famous physician but he confusedly said there's nothing wrong with his leg other than small fractures, but few more days later he becomes paralyzed from waist to toe he unable to feel anything.

At that time Jiang Yu Ran pleaded Lao Min Na to heal Zhuang Mu Zi and she agrees. Lao Min Na checks his condition, she seems genuine as she prepares the elixir bath herself and concocted pill for him, soon his leg feel better but his health gradually declines, his cultivation decreased terribly in a short amount of times.

Zhuang Mi Zu starts to questioning Lao Min Na intention, although she taking care of him herself however Zhuang Mi Zu could see the sincerity in her eyes instead she is too calm and cold, as a physician should she feel concert toward her patient but why he can't see that in Lao Min Na, it's only become worst when Zhuang Bao Jie seems jealous because Lao Min Na taking care of him.

Zhuang Mu Zi feel perplexed, why Zhuang Bao Jie jealous why him, should Zhuang Bao Jie jealous of Jin Kai instead?

"Mu Zi, do you want me to search for another physician?" Jiang Yu Ran to feel terrible for her adopted Son awful faith, with his background if he had no strength to protect himself Zhuang Zi Mu would not have a good life inside the Zhuang Manor especially if one day she's gone.

Zhuang Mu Zi smile faintly, of course, he doesn't want to give up, he determined to be a successful man so one day he can protect his stepmother and Yu Qin, the relationship between his stepmother and his father has been estranged for as long he can remember.

Because his grandfather fond of Jiang Yu Ran his father didn't dare to against his wife...for a meantime however after Zhuang Zhen Yu pass away, who knows what that fickle father of him would do. is not a surprise he would do something to replace his stepmother, what could he do if he is unable to save himself.

"Yes, let's find someone else..." he nodded obediently.

"Yes, let's mother find someone else, I can't believe no one can't heal you" she refused to give up, the world is so big there must be someone out there who can save his stepson.

"Too bad we fall out with Jin Hao because of that arrogant man Jin Kai, if not we could ask his help..." She clicks her tongue exasperatedly.

"Jin Hao, isn't he the white Dragon King palace from Hei Shen sect?" Zhuang Mu Zi raised his eyebrows, he had heard Jin Hao famous reputation as the God Doctor for a long time, they said as long you still breathing Jin hao would able to save you. He had long admired Jin Hao, he knew the Miysty Lake Clan exiled him when Jin hao only a child, and he's been alone all this time until he transforms into one of the mighty King from Hei Shen Sect.

Compare to Jin Kai he is more curious about Jin Hao, too bad because of Jin Kai and his Mother, He could never become Jin Hao friends, not even a mere acquaintance.

"Yes, and what make thing worst we had to provoke Long Ming too.....this is impossible" she sighs heavily as she regretted how the situation has become. 

"Is okay mother we will find another way" he patted Jiang Yu Ran's hand gently.

Zhuang Li Yu bitterly smile "You right, you have to get rest early than" she raised from her still then fix his blanket. 

Zhuang Mu Zi chuckles his stepmother still treats him like ten years old even though he already this old "You too Mother..." he said softly.

Jiang Yu Ran smiles then she left the room after reminding Yu Qin to burn more wood in the furnace and make sure Zhuang Mu Zi sleeps early. Yu Qin bow her head with childish smiles bloom on her innocent face.

as they leave Zhuang Mu Zi courtyard the old maid sigh "If only madam and first young master can be this close, how good it would be" she voice her thought.

Hiang Yu Ran smiles ironically "That man would never let that happened, the last thing he wants is for me to have another backer other than Father-in-law"

The old maid turns quite than she braces herself to ask the question that has hover in her mind for a long time "Madam, if I may be bold....do you still love the first master?" she nervously asked.

Jiang Yu Ran didn't answer right away because she had been asked this question to herself for a long time, she stares at her old maid back who walk in front of her with saddened eyes "No....if there's been love between us it's been over a long time ago" she said with a calm voice.

The old maid stops her pace, she turns around and says: "Can you reconcile with him....he is your husband, and you need him to survive at the Zhuang family.

"If...I don't know what he did to Zhuang Mu Zi's mother I might...." her eyes flashed with hated and disgust then she looks away as she tries to press the dreadful memory in her mind.

"Madam...." the old maid didn't mean to open the old wound.

"I could never forgive what he had done to that young, free, and innocent girl...because of him she is....if only she treat her better, if only he used honorable way to get her if only he didn't rape her!" her breath hicks and her eyes turn moist, perhaps it was that day when she saw how miserable and pitiful Zhuang Mu Zi mother was, Jiang Yu Ran start to detest Zhuang Mu Tao.

"What kinda man who slaughtered the entire clan just to fulfill his lust, what kinda a man who rapes woman repeatedly then throw her away after he got bored" Jiang yu ran bit her lips, she quickly wiped the tears in her cheeks with her sleeves.

"Even Long Ming who is called Monster never lay his hand to an innocent woman, and I never heard him slaughter the whole clan if they did not provoke him first....isn't that hilarious, if Long Ming is a monster than what is Zhuang Mu Tao?" Jiang Yu Ran said with self-deprecating smiles.
