Chapter 759 Two Paths I Can Think of
"So what if she's my own daughter? I've raised her for more than ten years, but she turned out to be an ungrateful woman. She doesn't know how to be grateful or give back. She only knows how to do things her own way." Zhong Xingyun's face was harsh and cold, without any trace of the warmth of a father.
Zhong's mother stood there in a daze, looking at her husband in front of her, and suddenly felt very strange.
Although she knew that her husband had strict requirements for his two daughters and hoped to gain benefits from their marriages, she never thought that once this plan failed, her daughters would become ungrateful ungrateful people in his eyes.
But at the moment, Zhong's mother didn't have time to argue with Zhong Xingyun about this, and spoke anxiously.
"Master, even if Yixue did some things that you didn't like, she is still your blood relative. What did you do to her?"
"I just gave her some drugs that can drive people crazy for a short period of time. You can rest assured. Even if her daughter's behavior is very disappointing, as a father, I will still leave room for her and will naturally not be cruel to her."
"Drug..."
As Zhong's mother murmured these two words, she felt as if all the blood in her body had solidified and turned ice-cold to the bones.
"Master, are you crazy? Yixue went crazy in the street. If the news spreads, how will she live in the future and how will she get married? You..."
"Anyway, the marriage with the Marquis of Mingchang has been cancelled, and with her current reputation, how can she find a good husband? If she marries into a poor family and cannot provide any benefits or help to the Zhong family, it would be better not to marry. At worst, I can let her stay in the Zhong family for the rest of her life and I will support her."
Zhong Xingyun interrupted Zhong's mother nonchalantly. Perhaps he felt the disappointment and anger in his wife's eyes were too clear, so he added another sentence.
"As long as she is obedient and stays at home, she will not be short of food and drink."
Zhong's mother stared at Zhong Xingyun.
I kept telling myself that I must have heard it wrong.
However, the expression on Zhong Xingyun's face and the look in his eyes all indicated that she had not heard wrong.
Such cold and heartless words, which showed no consideration for Yixue, really came from the mouth of the person in front of him.
"Master, Yixue is still so young, and she has such a long life ahead of her. How can you bear to ruin her like this!" Mother Zhong felt dizzy, and all kinds of complicated emotions surged up at once, causing her to stagger.
"We can only blame her for not listening, and also blame the Girls' College. If it weren't for the Girls' College, nothing would have turned out like this." Zhong Xingyun's face was full of hatred.
"How can you blame the girls' academy?" Zhong's mother retorted subconsciously.
"If it weren't for the Women's Academy that was there to deceive people and make Yixue and Yiyu have inappropriate thoughts, disobey their father's orders and only want to go out and show off, nothing would have turned out like this."
Zhong Xingyun spoke with confidence, and his tone was filled with disgust, as if the girls' academy was really some kind of heinous cult.
Zhong's mother opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but she felt powerless.
After a long while, she finally spoke: "So in order to take revenge on the Women's Academy, you did not hesitate to drug your own daughter and let her bear the reputation of being possessed by evil spirits?"
"You are just a woman, how could you possibly understand the trick? I don't want to waste my breath on you anymore, you just need to remember to do as I tell you, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
There was contempt and irritation in Zhong Xingyun's eyes. He didn't want to say any more to Zhong's mother, so he turned around and was about to leave.
Mother Zhong grabbed her husband and said, "Master, no matter what you want to plan, now that Yixue has become like this, we must ask a doctor to take a good look at her."
"Don't worry, she will be fine. You also said that she is my biological daughter after all. I will not let her be crazy for the rest of her life. She will naturally return to normal after this period of time."
"But……"
Before Zhong's mother could say something else, Zhong Xingyun impatiently shook off her hand and left.
Feeling her hands were empty, Zhong Mu's heart felt like it was being pinched hard, and it was sore and painful.
Looking at Zhong Xingyun's back as he walked away without even bothering to look at Zhong Yixue, Zhong's mother suddenly felt that she had never seen the person beside her clearly in all these years.
On the other hand, the news that Zhong Yixiu suddenly went crazy during the funeral was spreading like wildfire in the imperial city.
Soon, Zhong Xingyun personally had someone spread the word that he had asked someone to check and confirmed that Zhong Yixiu was possessed by an evil spirit, and the reason for the possession was most likely related to the girls' academy.
As soon as this news came out, the rumors about the women's college became more and more rampant.
Many people began to clamor that girls' academies must be closed and must not be allowed to mislead girls.
After seeing off the third wave of female students who were about to resign and leave today, Wei Yao was so angry that she couldn't help but knock over the teacup beside her.
"It's really ridiculous. There is no evidence at all. No one can even prove whether Zhong Yixiu was possessed by an evil spirit. But everyone just believed some rumors. It's ridiculous!"
Lu Yan also had a frown on her face. When those rumors about the girls' academy came out before, she was worried but she was still able to remain calm. But now she couldn't help but panic.
After all, Zhong Yixiu suddenly went crazy in public, and many people in the imperial city saw it. In addition, Zhong Xingyun said in person that his daughter was possessed by an evil spirit. This news was much more powerful than the previous rumors and discussions.
"It seems that Minister Zhong really intends to become a complete enemy of our Women's Academy." Lu Yan looked at Jiang Suining, and before she could finish her words, Xiao Yue rushed in from outside the academy.
Stopping the people who wanted to pay their respects, Xiao Yue got straight to the point, "I've heard all the news in the imperial city. Before I came here, I sent someone to secretly inquire about the emperor's affairs. The emperor also heard about this matter. If we don't find a way to deal with it, he might really close the women's academy."
Xiao Yue's words made Wei Yao and Lu Yan's already ugly faces even more worried.
We have spent so much effort to build the girls' college to its current state, we absolutely cannot close it down so easily.
"If the emperor really orders the closure of the girls' academy, all the things we have done before will be in vain. And once it is closed, it will be difficult to reopen it." Lu Yan was worried and looked at Jiang Suining again.
Compared to the worries of several people, Jiang Suining also frowned, but was obviously much calmer.
When she first heard the rumors about the Zhong family being possessed by evil spirits, she had anticipated that such a situation might occur.
After a moment's silence, she said, "In this situation, there are only two options I can think of."
