Chapter 738

After Shen Rang and Huo Zhao left, Madam Zheng finally stopped tolerating them.

Over the years, she has come to realize that constant tolerance will not earn her equal forgiveness, but will only lead to others taking advantage of her.

The Zheng family of today is not the same as it used to be.

Now that her biological son has become the true pillar of the Marquis's mansion, she no longer needs to live at the mercy of anyone.

Even her mother-in-law, she was unwilling to watch.

“Mother, you just said that it was because of my scheming that the Marquis’s mansion had no other children. Where did you get that idea?” Zheng sneered. “You are a woman too, and you should know best how heavy those words are for a woman. Don’t try to fool me.”

After she finished speaking, the old lady looked at her but remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, the old lady turned to look at Shen Jun as if she had seen a ghost.

Is this still her daughter-in-law?

In the past, no matter what she said, Madam Zheng could only silently endure it!

Shen Jun's expression was also very complicated. He looked at his wife, but finally shook his head at the old lady: "Mother, what you said was really too harsh."

The old lady's eyes widened.

What? In this situation, she, an elderly woman, is expected to apologize to Zheng?!

Of course, Zheng had no such idea.

She didn't want to shorten her lifespan.

Seeing that the old lady remained silent for a long time, Madam Zheng was too lazy to waste any more time with her and turned to leave.

The old lady was about to complain to Shen Jun when, unexpectedly, Shen Jun also started walking away.

The old lady stared blankly at the two figures leaving one after the other, and involuntarily raised her hand to pat her face.

What exactly happened?

Meanwhile, Shen Jun hurriedly caught up with Madam Zheng: "Madam, you know Mother's temperament, you... don't take it to heart."

Zheng sneered: "She is your mother and my mother-in-law. How could I possibly take it to heart?"

After walking a short distance, Madam Zheng suddenly said, "Do you also think that the reason why the Marquis's mansion has had no children for so many years is because I am the one who did it behind the scenes?"

"How could that be?" Shen Jun said hurriedly. "I know what kind of person you are now, even if I didn't know before. You definitely didn't do it!"

Hearing his words, Zheng felt a slight stirring in her heart, and a dense bitterness welled up inside her.

So this is what it feels like to be so firmly protected.

She hadn't experienced this for a very, very long time.

Madam Zheng looked away and said, "Since things have come to this, I'm not afraid to tell you that back then, that Madam Chen drank the medicine that would kill her child in order to enter your harem, and then framed me for it!"

I did find a doctor for her back then, but Chen's methods were too ruthless. Even if I found the best doctor in Luoyang, he couldn't save her.

As for the other concubines in your backyard, it's true they were given a drug that would prevent them from having children, but I definitely didn't do it. If you don't believe me, you can ask them one by one."

As they spoke, they arrived at Rongxi Hall. Madam Zheng returned to her room to rest, while Shen Jun remained silent at the door for a long time. He did not actually go to ask someone as Madam Zheng had suggested, but instead went to rest in the side room.

The couple had been estranged for too long, and even if Shen Jun was now willing to repent, he still had to consider Zheng's wishes.
