Chapter 1212 Zheng's Death
Because of Zheng's estrangement, the relationship between the two was not very good to begin with, and this made it even worse.
Zheng thought, Qin's goal had been achieved to some extent, right?
She could not tolerate Zhao Mu's disgusting injustice no matter what!
Later, when Zhao Shu was fifteen years old, Zheng suffered an accident. When she took Zhao Shu with her to pay homage to her deceased parents during the Qingming Festival, she unexpectedly had an accident with the carriage.
In the critical moment, Zheng suffered extremely serious injuries in order to protect Zhao Shu. She was rescued home dying, but died within three days.
Zhao Shu later suspected that Qin had something to do with that so-called accident, and even that his heartless father turned a blind eye to it, but he had no evidence.
The reason why Zhao Shu thought so was because there were too many doubts.
First, there was a special person in the mansion who was responsible for the maintenance and repair of the carriage that my mother rode in, and the carriage would definitely be thoroughly inspected the day before my mother's trip. Normally, there would be no possibility of an accident.
Not long after that, the driver and his family were driven away for being irresponsible and not serious about their work.
At that time, Zhao Shu was immersed in the grief of losing his mother and had no time to pay attention. When he remembered to look for the driver, he was gone. He secretly sent people to the driver's hometown, but he couldn't find him.
Secondly, the relationship between my parents has become increasingly tense in the past two years. Whenever they are together, they always argue. Although my father did not ask for the deed of the Zheng family's 100,000 acres of mulberry fields, he refused to write an IOU to my mother after taking the silk produced every year.
The silk produced from the 100,000 acres of mulberry fields naturally went into my mother's pocket since she married my father. As for silver, she had never been paid for it. It was just that when my grandparents were still alive, my grandfather asked for a symbolic IOU, and my father gave it to him.
This habit has been maintained.
But two years ago, my father refused to write.
Because of this incident, his mother had a quarrel with him and even threatened to sell the silk to someone else, which made his father furious.
Although the matter was later dropped, the relationship between the two became even colder.
I'm afraid that the father's dissatisfaction with the mother has reached its peak!
Furthermore, Aunt Qin and her son would slander and distort the truth in front of my father whenever they had nothing to do. My father would listen to at least two or three out of ten, and probably more!
As time goes by, how can resentment not deepen?
With all these factors combined, Zhao Shu simply couldn't believe that his mother had died in an accident.
Unfortunately, he was so sad at the time that when he remembered to investigate secretly, it was too late. He could not find anything.
But even so, his mother still protected him until the end. Before she died, in front of his father and the elders from the clan, his mother asked him to escort her coffin back to the Zhao family's ancestral home for burial, and asked him to guard her grave in the ancestral home for three years and not to leave.
He went there obediently with his loyal servant, because he knew his mother was afraid that he would be harmed if he stayed in the mansion. A 15-year-old boy was neither old nor young. Compared with a large family, he was fighting alone, and the possibility of being harmed was too great!
Three years, his mother bought him three years to become stronger and plan slowly.
When he left the Zhao family in Yangzhou, his father and Qin's mother and son were so happy that they did not try to stop him.
