The Marquis Is Innocent

Old Jiang had a son in the past. But Mrs. Zhu has long forgotten about it. Suddenly, Old Jiang mentioned in her ear, and she froze for a moment. She remembered vaguely the teenager, born like a girl, very good-looking.

Mrs. Zhu stared fixedly at Old Jiang in front of her.

Her bruised face smiled, but her gaze was full of resentment, a very odd look.

Mrs. Zhu felt she could not recognize her anymore.

“Madam, at that time, you had already been the wife of the Wei family. Your status was noble. One day your brother got drunk, and he forcibly pulled away my son. He was only thirteen years old! When I saw him, his lower body was full of blood! Wet blood that wouldn’t stop flowing. My son is lying on his bed, dying. He called me ‘mother.’ He told me he was in pain and pleaded with me to save his life. But the bleeding wouldn’t stop. The doctor couldn’t save him and abandoned him! I just watched him struggle in pain for three days in bed. Finally, he died under my eyes.”

” What did you do, Madam? I’m sure you’ve long forgotten, haven’t you?”

Old Jiang’s voice continued to flutter in Mrs. Zhu’s ears.

“I told you. You were afraid things would damage your face, and as if nothing had happened, you suppressed the matter. You sent your brother away and let him continue to get away with it. You gave me money and instructed me not to tell anyone about it. I had no choice but to put up with it.”

“But my heart hated it. My son was only thirteen years old when he died! Madam, because you lost your son, you hate Qiao’s girl to the bone, but my son, is he not my flesh?”

“Madam, do you understand why I am treating you like this? You can say everything I told you to justify yourself. But what can you do to justify yourself? Even if you live on in this life, you will still be a mother with no dignity in front of your son! The blame is on you, not on me ……”

Mrs. Zhu fainted at that time. When she woke up, she heard Old Jiang kill herself by hitting the wall. The only thing left on the floor was a puddle of dark purple blood.

The servant guarding her said Madam had forced her to kill herself.

It has been so many days since the incident, and they cleaned the ground. The puddle of blood seems to have been eaten into the ground and remains horrifying.

Mrs. Zhu used illness as an excuse to keep her son around more often.

Now she was really sick and finally waited for her son’s return.

It snowed heavily last night, but the sky was clear this morning. At noon, while she was alone in her room, she heard the sound of heavy footsteps coming from outside.

It was Wei Shao’s footsteps. She could recognize it as soon as she heard it.

He finally came home! While he was away from home, his mother was framed and suffered so much!

The lost strength in her body seemed slowly injected back in.

Mrs. Zhu struggled to stand up and wanted to meet him. But only after two steps, the door banged open, almost by brute force.

Mrs. Zhu saw her son, Wei Shao, appear in the doorway.

Instead of coming in, he stood beyond the threshold, looking at her with an icy and unfamiliar gaze.

Mrs. Zhu was stunned, and after a moment of staring at her son, her lips trembled as she said in a trembling voice: “Shao’er …… You are back! Don’t believe what they said, Old Jiang framed me! She hates me, and she was bribed to set me up! I have thought about it, and it is only Qiao girl. After the Qiao girl entered the door, I wanted you to take Chu Yu. She did not say on the surface, but she must hate me in the heart ……”

Wei Shao’s eye muscles twitched, took a step back, and two people were pushed in and rolled to the ground.

One was the Great Witch of Mount Yu, and the other was Zheng Shu. Both looked woefully out of place.

“Aunt, save me!” Zheng Shu climbed up and clasped her hands around Mrs. Zhu’s legs, crying and begging.

Surprised, Mrs. Zhu looked up at Wei Shao and trembled, “Shao’er …… what are you doing?”

Wei Shao coldly said, “Listen to yourself, how this good niece of yours has deceived you in the past!”

The great witch knelt on the ground, trembling, and kept kowtowing: “Madam, you do not know, it was Zheng Shu who secretly gave me a gift of gold and asked me to come to you and say she was your lucky person, so I said so to you! To fulfill the matter, the illness you had afterward, it was her who took the drug from me and put it into your food. When it took effect, she stopped, and you slowly recovered. Madam was kept in the dark and believed it to be true ……”

Zheng Shu cried bitterly: “Aunt, forgive me! It’s because I was confused in the beginning. These years, I’ve given my heart and soul to Aunt. Other people don’t know, but Aunt should know ……”

Mrs. Zhu’s eyes opened wide, pointing her shaking finger at Zheng Shu. She suddenly shouted, eyes rolled over, and fainted.

……

Mrs. Zhu woke up and found herself lying on the bed.

Wei Shao turned his back on her, facing the window. His back was motionless, like a stone statue.

Mrs. Zhu wanted to call out but did not dare.

Wei Shao turned around and slowly walked up to her, looking down at her.

“Shao’er ……” Mrs. Zhu’s eyes were hot, “I know I was confused so much, so I got used by others and almost made a big mistake …… But your grandmother’s, it wasn’t me who poisoned her. Even if I had the guts, I wouldn’t dare to do it to her. You should know that ……”

Wei Shao stared at Mrs. Zhu. A heavy shadow swept his eyes.

“Mother, you might not dare to do it to my grandmother, but you did it to my wife. I would not have allowed you to live if it was anyone else. You are my mother, and I cannot do anything to you. From now on, if you think evil of her again, don’t blame me for being an unfilial son!”

Wei Shao left with quick steps.
