Chapter 408 has nothing to do with the little girl
Now she just wants to live selfishly for herself and not care about others.
In the past few years of her life, the first half of her life has been bound by these people, and in the second half of her life, she just wants to live for herself.
Zhang Ran lowered her eyes, slowly pulling away the hand that was clutching her dress. Her eyes were icy as she said, "Mother, people must always take responsibility for what they have done. I, your daughter, cannot plead for you. You have to bear it all by yourself."
Hearing Zhang Ran's words, Madam Zhang's expression gradually became sinister. All the weakness and apology she had just shown disappeared in an instant, replaced by a fierce look. "Bitch, Zhang Ran, you bitch, I shouldn't have given birth to you. You are not here to repay my kindness, you are simply here for revenge. When you were born, I should not have been soft-hearted. I should have drowned you in the pond, so that I could have stopped you, a bitch, from harming us."
"You evil daughter, why didn't you die in the palace? Ever since you were born, our family has been plagued by misfortunes one after another. Now, you've even gone so far as to sue your own parents in court. How could I have a daughter as ungrateful as you?"
Every word Mrs. Zhang cursed was extremely unpleasant.
Not to mention how uncomfortable Zhang Ran was, even Gu Jianchu, Xie Ci'an, as well as the Minister of Justice and Dou Cong who were standing beside them couldn't stand it anymore.
A mother may not love her child, but there is no need to make such a vicious curse.
It was the first time they had seen a mother treat her own child so poorly.
If you say that there are many fathers who are not as good as him, then it is understandable. After all, men are inherently cold-hearted, and with so many concubines, it is inevitable that they will be biased. However, Zhang Ran is Madam Zhang's biological daughter, but he treats Zhang Ran like this, which is really eye-opening.
If the system had not been abnormal, when Gu Jianchu heard these words, he would have suspected that Zhang Ran was not Madam Zhang's biological child at all, and that Madam Zhang had replaced her own daughter with her mistress's child. Otherwise, she would not have hated him to this extent.
But things went against his wishes, and Lord Zhang didn't even have a mistress.
After all, she had experienced disappointment, so when she heard these insults from her mother, she did not feel too sad. Instead, she watched Mrs. Zhang calmly after she finished scolding her, with a disappointed smile on her lips.
Zhang Ran walked step by step to her mother's side and slowly squatted down. "Mom, you were right to scold me."
"Since you dislike me and hate me so much, you shouldn't have given birth to me in the first place, or you should have killed me when I was just born. That way, my family wouldn't have to suffer so much and resent each other. You resent me for blocking your fortune, and I also resent you for giving birth to me and treating me like this. My sister, brother, and I are all your children, but why do you treat me so unfairly? I don't think I'm a concubine's daughter, because Madam Gu from Mr. Gu's family in the neighboring mansion treats concubines like this."
"In the middle of winter, a concubine's daughter is made to wash clothes and cook. She is not given new clothes to wear. Even the food she eats is the leftovers of other legitimate daughters. She is also bullied by legitimate daughters everywhere. I am obviously my mother's biological child, but I live a life similar to that concubine's daughter of the Gu family. Even my father is just like that Lord Gu, as if he can't see me."
"My mother wasn't nice to me, and my elder sister also bullied me. No matter what I had, my elder sister would fight with me for it. I wasn't convinced, thinking that my mother ignored me, so I went to talk to my father. But all I got was my father saying I was being unreasonable, asking why my elder sister didn't take other people's things, but mine. I must have done something wrong, and he told me to go to the ancestral hall and reflect on myself."
"It's really funny. In fact, I still can't figure out what I did wrong. I was just born, why did my father and mother hate me so much?"
After hearing what Zhang Ran said, Dou Cong's eyes turned red and he sniffed hard a few times.
The eyes of the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the room were red. Many of them were sold into the palace by their parents, and only a very few of them entered the palace on their own initiative because their families were poor.
As common people, everyone understands that although serving in the palace is glamorous and the salary is high, the risks are also great. The masters in the palace are the most difficult to serve. If a servant does not understand the situation, he may be beheaded or become a victim of the fight between the masters in the palace.
Lord Zhang and Madam Zhang lowered their eyes upon hearing this.
Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but feel a trace of self-blame in her heart, but after blaming herself, she thought that it was Zhang Ran who caused them to be in this situation now, and that trace of self-blame disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a sinister expression.
"Zhang Ran, you still have the nerve to question us. You even say you're not the reincarnation of a jinx. What kind of children would report their parents to the government? They've been put in this situation, not only beaten but also exiled. Now you've also cost your father his official position. Since you were born, our family has never had a smooth life. Just because you're unlucky for us, I didn't throw you into the pond to drown, and I raised you to this age. I've already done my best."
"We've raised you until now, and now, not only have we not recovered a single cent of our costs, but we've even lost half our lives because of you, a bitch. Now, you should be the one who deserves to die, not us. Zhang Ran, why don't you just die?"
Madam Zhang kept yelling at Zhang Ran, and she wanted to pounce on her and grab her face. The young eunuch next to her couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and pushed Madam Zhang to the ground.
Not only the young eunuch couldn't stand it, even Gu Jianchu couldn't stand it either.
Parents who love their children will make long-term plans for them, but the Zhang couple has such a character that is not only eye-opening but also heartbreaking.
"You only blame Zhang Ran for your actions. Why don't you look for the reasons within yourself? If it weren't for your poor management and the offense you caused, how could Lord Zhang be so deposed? Being demoted is fine. As long as you work hard, you'll definitely have opportunities for promotion in the future. But what did Lord Zhang do? Are you blaming Zhang Ran for instigating this?"
"It's your own fault for not managing the business properly. With your heart set on falling, your life is naturally getting worse and worse. What does this have to do with a little girl? The only thing Zhang Ran did wrong in her life was probably being born at the wrong time of birth. After all, at this critical juncture, you can only blame others for your mistakes in order to make yourselves feel better."
"As for your ending today, it's nothing more than the result of your own greed. If you had simply robbed Zhang Ran of her money without harboring any evil thoughts, you wouldn't have ended up like this. You're greedy for money, but you don't want to be discovered and take responsibility. There's no such thing as a good thing in this world. Everything in the world is exchangeable. If you get the money, you must pay a corresponding price."
