Chapter 1518: Chapter 1515: What Do You Want?
As this thought emerged, the image of Chu Heng's face, difficult to read and very cold, suddenly appeared in her mind.
The other party looked at her without a trace of emotion, and the even colder attitude conveyed his meaning.
She would never be able to secure any place in his heart!
Even if she could seize Ye Muyu's wealth, she couldn't win Chu Heng's favor, let alone defeat Chu Heng, and as long as Chu Heng was there, Ye Muyu's days would never be difficult.
Realizing these, Madam Tang covered her face and wept.
All along, she was confident that she could live better than Ye Muyu.
The truth was that later, after she got the chance to associate with Duke Zheng, she lacked nothing materially but lived each day in anxiety, constantly scheming, without a moment of peace.
Even so, she still felt that Ye Muyu was not better than herself.
She wanted to prove it to Chu Heng.
Later, he did contact directly, but it wasn't to praise her or even to rope her in, merely asking her what she really wanted and whether everything she did was worth it.
If, at first, she only wanted a good life.
Then, after her plan was exposed and she was forced to leave her hometown, a breath was blocked in her heart, determined to make Chu Heng and Ye Muyu regret it!
But now…
Madam Tang thought of Duke Zheng's character.
She should have understood it long ago; if she had chosen a long-rich family, her life would have been better than marrying Duke Zheng. She knew Duke Zheng would fail, yet she still chose to marry him, just to oppose Chu Heng.
The fact proved that she really couldn't compete with Chu Heng, nor was Duke Zheng someone she could rely on.
“Knock, knock…”
As various thoughts crossed her mind and she instinctively began to weigh them, she suddenly heard that familiar signal sound.
Madam Tang suddenly lifted her head and saw a steamed bun rolling in.
Her hand, somewhat trembling, reached out and grabbed the bun, tore it open, and quickly saw what was written inside: she would be rescued at midnight tomorrow.
This was a message from Duke Zheng's people!
Madam Tang's heart suddenly lifted.
Duke Zheng was really coming to save her!
She even detected the implicit meaning in the message, reminding her to pretend to cooperate with Chu Heng to overthrow the opponent.
Madam Tang's hand suddenly clenched, sweat soaking the paper in her palm, and the inks smeared onto her hand.
What should she do?
Madam Tang curled up in the corner without making a sound, but her heart was continuously trying to find a way; she wanted to live, she didn't want to die!
At this moment, as this thought uncontrollably emerged, she finally realized what she truly wanted; power and wealth were not as important as staying alive, and only by being alive could everything be possible.
She lowered her eyes, a dark light flashing in them.
No one knew.
In the pitch-black office beside the prison, it was already empty.
Chu Heng appeared at a street corner, followed by a guard, while a man with covered eyes was escorted in front of him.
Chu Heng just glanced once and then ordered his subordinate to send the person to Xiao Tianhao's interrogation room.
Soon, another tenth of the people in the Ministry of Punishments' prison were replaced.
In a dilapidated temple outside the city.
There was no trace of distress on Duke Zheng, draped in a cloak, with the fire reflecting on his face, revealing his long-untrimmed beard, and in his hand, he held a letter at this moment.
“Prince of the State, what do we do? The spies at the Ministry of Punishments' prison have all been removed. Now, the city is more heavily guarded, and that secret passage has also been discovered.”
“The discovery of Tang Beauty's side makes it unlikely to rescue her easily again, and any further action might expose our whereabouts.”
