Chapter 852 - Times of Crisis（5）

Qin Shi was getting on in age and usually couldn’t sleep for long. Last night was the most comfortable sleep she had had in years.

Originally, she intended to sleep in old lady Ruan’s room, but that room had too many traces of old lady Ruan, so she didn’t like it. Yesterday when it was getting late, Qin Shi slept in another room. Today, she got up early and made the servants clean out the things in old lady Ruan’s room. After that, she made the Ruan family’s servants move her own things into old lady Ruan’s room.

There had been a lot of commotion since early in the morning.

All that noise could be heard from the living room, so it woke up old lady Ruan and Wang Yazhi.

“What’s the commotion outside?” Wang Yazhi asked.

Old lady Ruan snorted, “What other commotion can it be?! It’s got to be Qin Shi moving things around!”

If old lady Ruan didn’t like Qin Shi before, then she absolutely detested Qin Shi now. If not for anything else, it would be because Qin Shi smashed her wedding photo with the old man and killed her fish.

The second Mrs. Ruan didn’t sleep well last night. Every time there was a noise, she would wake up. She carried Bao’er and came downstairs.

The Bao’er, who was demanding to come and stay in the large mansion, was actually a little depressed. Even in this large mansion, the Bao’er still didn’t speak and remained unhappy.

Each time she looked at the Bao’er when he was like this, the second Mrs. Ruan’s heart would ache. Originally, Bao’er was to sleep with Ming Li. However, Ruan Fusheng only just came back last night and he was injured, so Ming Li naturally had to take care of Ruan Fusheng. Thus, the second Mrs. Ruan carried Bao’er to her own room.

Luckily, Ruan Guosheng didn’t return last night, so Bao’er slept quite well.

Not long after, Ming Li came downstairs.

The second Mrs. Ruan was surprised when she saw Ming Li. She was covered in injuries on her face, neck, arms... everywhere that could be seen was filled with bruises, and the places that weren’t visible probably had injuries as well.

Ming Li was limping as she walked, and her eyes were hollow as if she was a zombie.

“Where did the injuries on your body come from?” The second Mrs. Ruan asked.

Ming Li’s body trembled, and a deep hatred emitted from her hollow eyes.

Where were they from?

Where else could they be from?!

Of course it was from that animal, Ruan Fusheng!

Last night, Ruan Guosheng called someone over to fix his dislocated arm. Ruan Fusheng had been upset since, so he scolded and beat Ming Li, who was taking care of him.

Since he couldn’t get his way with Ling Tianya, Ruan Fusheng felt incredibly horny and pressed Ming Li onto the bed, venting the anger in his heart and his lust all on Ming Li.

If Ming Li didn’t cooperate, Ruan Fusheng would hit her. When he heard Ming Li’s cries of pain, Ruan Fusheng would feel a rush and hit her even harder just to hear her scream.

That night, Ming Li felt like she would rather die.

Afterwards, Ruan Fusheng became tired and fell into a deep slumber on top of Ming Li.

Due to the pain from the injuries all over her body, Ming Li couldn’t sleep at all.

Ming Li didn’t say anything. She headed straight towards the kitchen and prepared breakfast in the kitchen with the servants.

For the past few years, Mi Ling and the servants always prepared breakfast for Ruan Guosheng and his family. This was the second Mrs. Ruan’s demand, saying that a daughter-in-law needed to act like one and should work to serve the elders. She must not think that she could slack off just because she married into a rich family.

Just like that, Ming Li, who had been pampered like a princess at home, started doing chores and preparing meals after marrying Ruan Fusheng.

Ming Li had gradually gotten used to it after so many years. She was disregarded by the entire Ruan Guosheng family because of her being used to the chores and horrible treatment.
