After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 89 Zhou Liang Mistakes His Savior

After overhearing their conversation, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but mutter to herself:

[Wow! Zhou Liang is such a scumbag! How could he treat Wei Xiwu like that? He's so cold-hearted! Could it be... that he really doesn't know about... the life-saving grace...?]

Just then, Zhou Liang heard Jiang Mianmian's voice again. He was puzzled and turned around, staring blankly at Jiang Mianmian beside him.

He heard something that sounded like the Lady of the Marquis's voice, but he didn't see her mouth move. How could she make a sound? Could she be speaking in secret?

At the same time, Zhou Liang's mind began to race: since she spoke in secret, could she be a spy sent by another country?

Or perhaps their Marquis's residence had planted spies within the General's mansion? Otherwise, how would this woman know about their events from over ten years ago?

If that's the case, then I absolutely cannot say it out loud, nor can I show it, and I absolutely cannot let Jiang Mianmian notice any flaws!

And what about that life-saving grace she just mentioned? What exactly happened? What should he know?

Thinking about this, Zhou Liang couldn't help but feel a wave of fear. Luckily, his daughter had reminded him in time, otherwise he might have accidentally let something slip.

After Jiang Mianmian and her mother-in-law left, he had to immediately investigate everyone in the mansion. Fortunately, his daughter had also heard Jiang Mianmian's voice and realized that something was wrong, so she quickly signaled him to keep quiet and not to speak.

However, at this moment, Zhou Liang's gaze toward Jiang Mianmian became increasingly dangerous. He narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking, "This Jiang Mianmian is truly hiding her true abilities."

If Jiang Mianmian knew what Zhou Liang was thinking at that moment, she would definitely raise her hand without hesitation and give this guy a loud slap across the face.

She even wanted to lift Zhou Liang up like a chick and shake him vigorously so that all the excess, almost overflowing, divine river water he had drunk would be expelled from his mouth. This guy's ideas were absolutely outrageous!

[Oh my goodness! The truth is so simple and clear. Zhou Liang, that utterly foolish idiot, actually mistook his own savior for someone else, and wrongly accused him of repaying a debt of gratitude that had lasted for twenty years!]

[Tell me, is he only single-minded? I really don't know how he got that so-called title of Grand General! Did the enemy deliberately send him to his death?]

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but cast a disdainful and mocking glance at Zhou Liang.

At this moment, Zhou Liang froze on the spot, his pupils dilated, his eyes widened, and he stared at Jiang Mianmian in disbelief, wondering what she meant by admitting her mistake and saving his life.

Wasn't Bai Rui his savior? How could he mistake her for someone else? He now seriously suspected that all of this was some kind of conspiracy or trickery by Jiang Mianmian!

It was all to sabotage their marital relationship, to vent his own emotions, and to disrupt the stability of their general's mansion.

Jiang Mianmian, however, completely ignored Zhou Liang's murderous gaze, remaining oblivious and nonchalant as she continued to peruse the plot analysis.

Oh dear! Who would have thought? Back then, when Madam Zhou encountered Zhou Liang in danger, she didn't hesitate to lend a helping hand and save his life.

But something unexpected happened: Zhou Liang turned around and instantly mistook his "savior" for someone else! Mistaking him was one thing, but what he did next was utterly stupid—helping his older brother elope.

[Can't you believe how infuriating Zhou Liang is? Madam Zhou shouldn't have been so kind as to save this complete idiot. She should have just left him to fend for himself, saving him from having to face that cold shoulder for years on end—it's unbearable!]

Not only that, Zhou Liang, that fool, also unwittingly brought his "savior" and his own brother together, ultimately leading to her eloping with her brother. Poor thing, this ill-fated couple was eventually robbed and both lost their lives.

Jiang Mianmian continued to complain about Zhou Liang, but when she saw what followed, she was instantly shocked!

[Oh my god! This...this...Zhou Jingyao isn't Zhou Liang's daughter, but rather the child of Zhou Liang's deceased elder brother and his beloved woman.]

[And the things that happened in the Zhou family were just too bizarre. Any family would be overjoyed if they had two sons, but the Zhou family insisted that twins were bad luck, that the elder twin would bring misfortune to the Zhou family and even cause their deaths. So, they took both twins to the estate right after they were born, which led to the melodramatic plot that followed.]

[My God, the secrets hidden within the Zhou family mansion are truly profound, and the shocking inside story is genuinely terrifying.]

Wow! I must say, Zhou Liang is truly remarkable! Faced with such a complicated family situation, he was able to silently endure it all and even take on the responsibility of raising his elder brother's orphaned child. Such magnanimity and character are truly admirable!

[OMG, Zhou Liang is truly amazing! Shouldn't we give him an award?]

Jiang Mianmian stroked her chin, tilting her head to ponder carefully, and muttered:

[Alas! I've pondered this carefully from beginning to end, and the most tragic character throughout is undoubtedly Madam Zhou. Her entire life was devoted to one man, yet she never won his heart. That alone is enough to make one feel sorrowful.]

Even more tragically, she was also raising her rival's child. It's unimaginable how she would cope if she knew the truth; anyone else would likely have suffered a mental breakdown!

The next moment, Jiang Mianmian heard a thud and saw Madam Zhou's eyes roll back and she fall straight to the ground!

Just then, a loud "bang" was heard. Jiang Mianmian looked closely and saw that Madam Zhou's eyes suddenly rolled back and her body fell straight backward, crashing heavily to the ground!

"Mother--"

"lady--"

In an instant, cries of alarm arose, and everyone rushed towards Madam Zhou. The entire room descended into chaos in a flash, filled with the panicked shouts of the maids and the frantic cries of the old women.

Zhou Liang held the unconscious Madam Zhou tightly in his arms, his face filled with deep worry and fear.

He was extremely anxious and frantically shouted, "Someone come quickly! Quickly! Go and fetch the imperial physician! Be fast!"

Standing to the side, Li Tingxue's face was ashen, and she looked utterly despondent. She inwardly groaned, "It's all over! Is my mother-in-law really going to anger Madam Zhou to death?"

If something like that really happens, how can their family maintain a kinship relationship with the General's Mansion? This would create a deep-seated feud between the two families.

Thinking of this, Li Tingxue couldn't help but shudder. The image of Shen Xiujin's reaction after learning about this flashed through her mind. Would he go crazy because of this?

Oh dear, the more she thought about it, the more terrified she became. She wondered if she should hurry back to her parents' home for a couple of days to avoid suffering this undeserved disaster.

Just then, Jiang Mianmian looked on with suspicion. She stared at Madam Zhou, who had fainted on the ground, and muttered to herself:

Madam Zhou seemed perfectly fine just now, so why did she suddenly faint? Could it be that Zhou Liang really made her faint from anger? It must be because he has been mentally abusing Madam Zhou for a long time that has caused her poor health.

Hmm, I suppose that's pretty much the truth. I never expected it! Zhou Liang always seemed so well-dressed and respectable, but who would have thought he was such a person in private!

Seeing the situation was turning against her, Li Tingxue made a quick decision, immediately bowing and taking her leave. As she hurriedly pulled her mother-in-law away, she kept muttering to herself:

"Mother, let's leave the General's Mansion as soon as possible! Madam Zhou has fainted, and we can't help her if we stay here. Let's not cause trouble for her!"

Also, Le'an must be hungry right now, right? Let's hurry home!

In reality, she was thinking to herself: she should take advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her and her mother-in-law and run away together.

She was afraid that if she didn't leave quickly, and something happened to Madam Zhou, Zhou Liang might draw his sword and kill the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law once he realized what was happening!

Jiang Mianmian, who was initially reluctant to leave, quickened her pace as soon as her daughter-in-law mentioned Le'an. Right, she was so engrossed in watching the drama that she almost forgot her granddaughter needed to be breastfed.

Yes, they need to hurry home. Little Le'an might be crying loudly from hunger right now.

At this moment, Li Tingxue was as fast as the wind, tightly holding Jiang Mianmian's slender wrist, and ran as if she had wheels of fire on her feet.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law disappeared from the house in an instant, as if they were being chased by a dog. In the blink of an eye, they were gone without a trace.

Li Tingxue and Jiang Mianmian quickly ran out of the General's Mansion and rushed out of the gate in the blink of an eye, jumping into their own carriage that had been waiting for them.

As soon as she settled in, Li Tingxue shouted impatiently to the coachman, "Quick! Get home as fast as you can!"

At this moment, there was a hint of urgency in her voice, as if she was afraid that if she wasted even a second, she would not be able to leave.

Hearing Li Tingxue's urgent voice, the coachman thought something had happened and dared not delay at all.

With a flick of his whip, the coachman caused the horse to neigh and gallop away, its wheels kicking up a cloud of dust as it sped towards the Marquis's residence.
