"Auntie, to tell the truth, I really feel sorry for you! I really think you don't deserve this!" Huo Linjing pretended to be grieved as she said.
"Just take a look, Rong Dai is hospitalized and the whole family is gathered around taking care of her."
"But you? It's cold and empty here, and I'm the only one who came to see you."
"Although that Yin Zhongjun is very hateful, Rong Dai is even more hateful!" She continued to instigate Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng listened in a daze, and also stopped her screaming.
"You see, if it wasn't for Rong Dai herself being overly ambitious and always wanting to stand out and make enemies everywhere, would her unborn baby be lost?"
"She didn't even know she was pregnant, how can you blame others for the miscarriage?"
"If she wasn't hospitalized, you wouldn't have gone to see her and this wouldn't have happened to you, would it?"
"Auntie, you are just too kind, too easy to talk to."
"That's why Rong Dai takes advantage of you so easily, and flatters Grandma well, yet you have been married into the Huo family for so many years, and Uncle passed away early too."
"To put it bluntly, even if there's no credit, there's hard work!"
"But none of them remembers that! Now the whole family sticks together, but you are an outsider, Auntie!"
Huo Linjing spoke rapidly, glancing at her watch for the time. Seeing Lu Zheng's dazed appearance, a flash of deeper meaning crossed her eyes.
Let's see how you can keep up the act this time, Rong Dai!
You ruined my happiness, so don't expect to have it easy!
"Oh, why am I telling you all this!"
"Nevermind, just forget what I said, Auntie. I have to get back to work now."
After speaking, she picked up her handbag contentedly and left the ward.
Lu Zheng stood barefoot on the cold floor, her face blank.
Huo Linjing's words kept swirling in her mind: It's all because of Rong Dai!
That's right!
It's all because of her!
Because she was overly ambitious, she got schemed against and nearly drowned.
Because her health was weak, she couldn't keep her grandchild, so she had to be hospitalized.
She went to the hospital to see Rong Dai, so Mother-In-Law disliked her and her children disliked her.
She was in a bad mood and wanted to go out for a couple of drinks.
If it wasn't for all this, she wouldn't have met Yin Zhongjun, and none of these things would have happened!
The more Lu Zheng thought about it, the clearer that voice in her heart became!
Her face grew colder and colder, her eyes full of resentment and anger!
This is all because of Rong Dai!
If she had been virtuous and competent, staying at home serving her husband and teaching her children, this family would have been peaceful.
Thinking this way, Lu Zheng suddenly realized that she had been very dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law all along.
Then she thought of how Mother-In-Law had handed over the housekeeper's authority to Rong Dai, directly denying her authority and recognizing Rong Dai instead.
And the division of family property, Mother-In-Law had given almost all of it to Rong Dai!
There were many other trivial details that became extremely clear in Lu Zheng's mind at that moment!
Huo Linjing's provocation had succeeded in making Lu Zheng resent Rong Dai!
"Auntie, why are you standing barefoot on the floor?"
When Lu Nianzhi came back after buying sanitary pads, as soon as she entered, she saw Lu Zheng standing barefoot on the floor and quickly put down her things to help her back into bed.
Lu Zheng didn't make a sound, she just lay stiffly in bed.
Lu Nianzhi hurried into the bathroom.
When she came out, Lu Zheng was sitting up in bed, looking at her somewhat sinisterly.
Lu Nianzhi was almost scared to death by her gaze. "Auntie, why are you looking at me like this...is something the matter?"
"Are you hungry? I'll order some food for you."
Lu Zheng shook her head, her pursed lips taking a few seconds to say: "I want to go out for a walk. Staying here makes me want to jump off the building."
Lu Nianzhi was so frightened by these words that her heart almost jumped out!
"Okay, okay, I'll go downstairs with you for a walk, but let's get dressed properly first."
