“My mother entrusted me to you?” Rong Dai grabbed the key point and looked straight into the other’s eyes to ask back.
The memories left to her by the original owner were all fragmented. She didn’t have any impression at all about the original owner’s mother from those memories.
But from what she knew about the Huo family, the original owner’s mother had saved the old mistress' life.
To repay her, the old mistress promised her when she was on her deathbed to take good care of the original owner.
And the old mistress’ understanding of “taking good care” was to have the original owner marry Huo Shao Ting, and so the two got married.
Although this sounded very strange, compared to what this woman in front of her said about the original owner’s mother entrusting her to her, why would the original owner’s mother go through so much trouble?
In other words, if this woman in front of her was trustworthy, the original owner’s mother wouldn’t have needed to say that one sentence to the old mistress at all. She could have just asked for money as compensation, which the Huo family would have given.
With the Huo family’s wealth, the compensation would have definitely been a large sum.
Rong Dai analyzed it in her mind, and became wary of this woman.
Sure enough, she saw a fleeting trace of guilt flash through Zuo Ran’s eyes.
There was definitely something fishy about this matter.
“Little Dai, what do you mean by saying this? Don’t you love me anymore? You chose to be with a man?”
Zuo Ran seemed to be greatly shocked, her gaze fixed tightly on Rong Dai, with a hint of obsession and possessiveness that wasn’t very obvious.
Rong Dai frowned slightly. Love her? The original owner loved a woman?
Although she was greatly shocked inside, she had seen this kind of gaze from Zuo Ran before, on Wen Shi Lan when she looked at Huo Shao Ting.
It was a gaze of obsession, admiration and intense possessiveness.
Although Wen Shi Lan was very restrained, Rong Dai had always been best at analyzing subtle expressions.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to steadily hold the position of Empress for thirty years in her past life.
“Isn’t it normal for me to choose to be with a man? I need a normal family life.”
She didn’t answer directly, but threw the question back at the other person. She needed to know more details to understand what was going on.
“Rong Dai!”
She didn't expect that as soon as she said this, the other person seemed to go mad and rushed at her!
Rong Dai was greatly frightened and hurriedly retreated, but Zuo Ran was relentless. Seeing that she couldn't get to Rong Dai, she directly reached out to grab her hair, her face twisted and vicious.
“We're not normal now?! Tell me! Weren't we fine before? If you want a child, we can adopt one! I won't allow you to fall for a man, I absolutely won't allow it!”
Zuo Ran's gaze was fierce, her voice a little hysterical.
Rong Dai was completely stunned! At the same time, she seemed to understand something.
Although this kind of thing was too shameful to talk about openly, in her past life she was not entirely unaware of it.
The palace eunuchs had to remain celibate, and the palace maids were also lonely. Some kept each other company, while others chose to be with other maids.
Although this was a taboo in the inner palace, as the Empress she naturally could not be kept in the dark about such things happening in the palace.
At that time, she didn't pay too much attention to these matters, dismissing them as nonsense.
People had the seven emotions and six desires. It was normally believed that men liked women, and women liked men as well. This was considered the norm by most people.
But desires could not be controlled. Who one liked was just a matter of personal preference, and others really had no right to interfere.
But she never imagined that the original owner actually had this kind of orientation!
Liking women!
To Rong Dai, this was simply a bolt from the blue!
"Cough...let go first, and let's talk nicely!"
Rong Dai's scalp felt like it was being peeled off from Zuo Ran grabbing her hair!
"You said you'd never leave me. I won't let you leave! Rong Dai, you can only be mine for the rest of your life! Mine! Do you understand?"
But Zuo Ran seemed not to hear her at all. Her grip was extraordinarily strong. She took advantage of Rong Dai being unprepared and pinned her down, her knees tightly pressing Rong Dai’s hands. Her gaze looking at Rong Dai was mad and stubborn!
She was even taking off her clothes, revealing an extremely curvaceous figure.
Rong Dai's head buzzed. What was she experiencing here?!
In her past life, she was still a tigress of a prestigious family, skilled in riding and archery, and knew some fist and footwork too. She immediately threw a punch at Zuo Ran!
"Ow!"
Zuo Ran cried out in pain, curling up into a ball. She immediately let go.
Rong Dai didn't even think before turning to leave.
She more or less understood what was going on now. This woman was simply deranged!
From her words, it seemed the original owner was not attracted to women at all. Otherwise, why would the other person suddenly become so frenzied?!
Rong Dai’s heart thumped violently, and her whole body shook a little anxiously. In either her past or present life, this was the first time she had encountered something like this.
No matter how calm she was, she couldn't withstand the shock this brought her!
"Want to leave? I won't let you! I've always catered to your wishes. How dare you go and like a man?! Today I will have you!"
Just as she was about to open the door, a sharp pain came from the back of her head! Her whole scalp tightened, and she could even clearly hear the sounds of strands of hair being pulled out!
Rong Dai was dragged to the floor. Zuo Ran took the opportunity to straddle her, pinning down her arms with her knees. Her gaze looking at Rong Dai was mad and stubborn!
She was even taking off her clothes, revealing an extremely curvaceous figure.
Rong Dai's mind buzzed. What was she experiencing here?!
She lashed out with her long legs, ignoring the pain in her hamstrings. She successfully flung Zuo Ran off of her!
She grabbed her bag and ran towards one of the rooms, quickly locking it behind her!
Bang bang bang!
The sound of pounding on the door, the vibrations from the impact made Rong Dai break out in a cold sweat on her back!
She looked around and was shocked to find the room was plastered with countless photos of the original owner in all kinds of poses!
These photos were all extremely revealing!
She was completely numb. Leaning heavily against the door with slightly shaking hands, she reflexively called Huo Shao Ting.
Huo Shao Ting, who was in a meeting, frowned slightly when he saw her call coming in. He gestured for the meeting to pause and answered her call.
"Shao Ting! Are you free now? I...I'm in trouble!"
Rong Dai's voice conveyed panic. Not only could he hear the fear in her crying voice, but also the loud banging on the door.
His expression instantly turned icy cold, and a fierce ruthlessness flickered between his brows. His voice was low as he asked her, "Where are you?"
This kind of situation would never happen at the Huo residence.
"I...I'm at the address I sent you before."
At any other time, her memory was outstanding. But today, her mind was completely blank.
In a panic, she fumbled out the pink cell phone. Following the address on it, she sent it to Huo Shao Ting.
After hanging up, the door behind her was still being pounded, again and again. The mad woman kept yelling while not ceasing her pounding.
Rong Dai looked at her disheveled state, heart thumping wildly.
