Chapter 20 Slept Like the Dead
“Madam, there’s a fire up north in the city. People are yelling that the lightning hit someone,” the maid outside shouted loudly.
Zhang Ling blinked rapidly, forgetting her tears.
She wiped away the blood from her mouth as she felt the weight in her heart disperse, shattered by the lightning.
Taking a moment, she glanced at the baby, who raised a tiny fist with an angry expression.
“Sneak out and find out whose house got struck.” Zhang Ling felt the thunder was strange, almost as if … it was called forth by her daughter.
Could it really have hit that scum?
Jiang Ning immediately agreed and went out to tell the servants to investigate.
“The Zhao family is truly ungrateful. Master Taojian risked his life to save Zhao Xiaoyu from drowning, yet now, they want to break off the engagement! If it weren’t for him, she’d be long gone!
“They’re heartless and ungrateful. They’re only adding insult to injury because of what happened to the Zhang family!”
Xu Jia, holding Yang Yuting, was so angry she couldn’t hold it in.
Zhang Ling spat out blood, feeling some of the pressure in her heart case, but worry lingered. “People are just concerned about benefits.” She despised Yang Mingrui saying that this was Yang Taojian’s fate.
“Miss Yang just woke up; why is she falling asleep again?” Xu Jia was surprised.
Yang Yuting felt extremely tired after summoning the lightning bolt and was unable to keep her eyes open. She fell into a deep sleep immediately.
At night, Hu Yue returned home, exhausted.
“Madam, everything is sorted in prison. Old Madam Zhang way
a bit shocked, but I sent medicine over, and it’s nothing serious. Master Zhang wants you not to worry; he knows what to do. Spending a few days in prison might actually be good for the Zhang family.
“Old Madam Zhang and your sisters–in–law were all moved to tears when they heard you had sent someone to make sure they’re alright.”
Zhang Ling was relieved, but she felt guilty towards her family again.
She had cut ties with her family for Yang Mingrui and hadn’t contacted them for over a decade!
She th
thought to herself that, once this matter passed, she would visit her family regardless of Yang Mingrui’s approval.
Zhang Ling slept well for a change.

She slept from evening until noon the next day.
The doctor came several times, each time shaking his head helplessly. “Miss Yang is perfectly fine, she’s just in a deep sleep.”
“But why won’t she wake up? Normally, she wakes up every two hours. This time, she’s been asleep for a whole day and night.” Zhang Ling fretted, her mouth blistering from worry.
“She’s probably just exhausted,” the doctor said before slapping himself.
How tired could a forty–day–old baby be?
She’s unable to walk or crawl. What could have tired her out so much?
Zhang Ling paused as she recalled yesterday’s thunder and lightly pursed her lips.
I’m so hungry… so hungry… Zhang Ling heard the faint murmurs again.
“Yuting is awake, quickly bring the milk. Zhang Ling’s heart–settled, but she couldn’t help but wonder if yesterday’s thunder had drained her daughter’s energy.
She couldn’t help but wonder if she had given birth to a little deity.
Yang Yuting yawned, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she was sipping on warm, sweet milk.
“Thank goodness, Miss Yang is finally awake. She slept like the dead, Xu Jia couldn’t help but joke
