Chapter 251 Awakening Mother Shen and Joining Forces
Mother Shen spurted a mouthful of blood from her mouth.
She smiled sadly and raised her sleeve to wipe the blood from her lips.
He walked slowly towards Chu Mu, stretched out his hand to touch Chu Mu's face, but in the end he did not put his hand down and slowly withdrew it.
"Although you look exactly like Zhao Zhao, I know you are not Zhao Zhao."
"Zhao Zhao wouldn't look at me as strangely as you do. Although she and I are not close, I know that she has a motherly regard for me and you don't. I can see it in your eyes. You have no motherly affection for me at all."
Shen Zhao on the side clenched his fist and loosened it.
She knew that she shouldn't feel sympathy, but looking at Mother Shen in such a state, her heart would still feel uncomfortable, sour, and painful.
"Madam Shen, how did you know that Shen Qianmeng was the Queen's daughter? And how did you know that your biological daughter was swapped? Does Shen Qianmeng know her true identity?"
Shen Zhao really wanted to know whether Shen Qianmeng knew her true identity.
Did she frame and report her father and brother by posing as a daughter of the Shen family, or did she use her real identity?
Mother Shen smiled bitterly, "I had a dream after I fainted, but I knew it was not a dream, it was real. In the dream, my Zhao Zhao died, and I died too."
"Zhao Zhao was tortured to death by the people in the General's Mansion, and I was stabbed to death by Shen Qianmeng using the golden hairpin on her head."
Tears welled up in Shen's mother's eyes again. "On the third day after Zhao Zhao's death, I begged Shen Qianmeng to go to the palace and ask the Empress to seek justice for Zhao Zhao. I promised her that after I avenged Zhao Zhao, I would give her all of Zhao Zhao's dowry."
"It was on the day I entered the palace that I was ordered to stay. While Shen Qianmeng and I were waiting to be summoned, we caught the Empress and Eunuch Su in their act."
"I know my life is coming to an end, so I will defend Shen Qianmeng with all my might. I beg the Queen to spare her life."
"It's really ridiculous. The Queen said she wouldn't kill Shen Qianmeng, but she would kill me because Shen Qianmeng is her biological daughter."
Mother Shen's eyes burned with hatred as she spoke, "She also said that my little daughter was drowned to death by the palace nanny back then. She asked Shen Qianmeng to kill me personally to show her loyalty to her as the queen mother."
Mother Shen's voice began to tremble, "I thought Shen Qianmeng, whom I have protected for half my life, would defend her to the death like me, but she didn't."
"She spoke kindly to me, but when I wasn't paying attention, she pulled out the golden hairpin from her hair and stabbed it into my neck."
"I still remember the pain as it pierced my skin and went through my neck. It wasn't fake, it was real."
"Dreams are not that realistic. They won't make me feel such heart-wrenching pain."
She didn't say the shock and heartbreak she felt when Shen Qianmeng stabbed her neck.
She deserved it. She wouldn't let anyone pity her. She didn't deserve it.
It was she who spoiled Shen Qianmeng into a beast, and it was she who personally cultivated a cruel and ruthless knife to pierce her heart.
Shen Zhao listened thoughtfully.
Shen's mother's experience was exactly the same as hers.
They all died in the dream when they were in a coma. The dream was so real that it was scary and didn't seem fake at all.
When she first woke up, she couldn't tell which was reality and which was a dream.
She was still just Zi Su crying in her ears, the old woman cursing in her ears, and Zi Su's tears dripping on the back of her hand.
Let her lose track of reality.
Shen's mother suffered the pain of losing her daughter and was killed by the daughter she had loved and spoiled all her life.
All these things were too much for her to bear, so much so that after she woke up she could no longer distinguish between reality and dreams.
Shen Zhao believed that these were not all dreams. Just as Shen's mother said, the dream was so real and terrifying that people could not tell the truth from the false.
According to Shen's mother, Shen Qianmeng does not know her true identity now, and she reported her father and brother in the name of her daughter of the Shen family.
One can imagine what kind of cold-blooded and heartless beast Shen Qianmeng is.
In order to get close to the rich and powerful, she would ruthlessly stab to death her mother who raised her and only cared about her.
Mother Shen looked at Shen Zhao, "Chu Mu, can you trust me? Although I wish you would die right now to avenge my Zhao Zhao, but reason tells me that you can't die like this."
"Although you didn't kill Zhao Zhao directly, your indifference killed her indirectly. Those who humiliated her are still alive. I want them to atone for their actions."
"The people in the General's Mansion deserve to die, and Shen Qianmeng and the Queen's party deserve to die even more. If they hadn't harmed my Shen family, how could the Chu family dare to treat my Zhao Zhao so lightly? They harmed my husband and children. I want to see them go to hell and make amends to my two poor daughters."
"What do you want to do?" Shen Zhao looked at Shen's mother.
"The Queen rescued Shen Qianmeng before me and sent me back to her. I have my own way to make her hate the Queen.
I raised her, and no one knows her selfishness and cold-bloodedness better than me."
"General Chu, please don't doubt that I am setting this up to save Shen Qianmeng. I wish she were dead and I wish I could eat her flesh and blood."
"The Queen won't ignore Shen Qianmeng. Instead of letting her take Shen Qianmeng into the palace, why not put Shen Qianmeng in our hands? She is the Queen's most important chess piece."
"Chen Qianmeng is the child of the Queen and that eunuch. She betrayed the Emperor."
"Okay, Ben will rescue Shen Qianmeng."
Shen Zhao and Shen's mother reached a consensus.
Mother Shen turned back to the bedroom behind her and said to Shen Zhao and Chu Mu:
"You guys go now. During this time at the General's Mansion, I will stay in this small courtyard, where Zhao Zhao once lived."
"My dear Zhao Zhao, please watch carefully from heaven as your mother avenges you with her own hands."
Shen Zhao and Chu Mu just came out of Dongyuan.
The housekeeper came hurriedly.
"General, Madam, something bad has happened. The eldest lady is trying to commit suicide in the front yard. She is holding a dagger to her neck."
Shen Zhao's eyes darkened.
"Let's go. I want to see how she died."
Chu Mu said on the side: "Due to the special situation of the Du family, Du Qi'an only took Chu Renqing back, and did not take Zheng mother and daughter."
"Before Chu Renqing left, Du Qi'an explained to him the dangers of the situation. He asked me to take good care of Zheng's mother and daughter and not let them leave the house at will.
He also said that if Zheng and Chu Miao had a serious quarrel, their life or death would have nothing to do with the General's Mansion.
He doesn’t blame anyone.”
"Zheng's uproar must be related to this."
Of course, Du Qian'an would not take Zheng mother and daughter back to the Du family's ancestral home. He and Chu Renqing were going back to fight for power, not to enjoy wealth and glory.
When Shen Zhao and Chu Mu arrived, they heard Chu Miao crying.
"Mom, please don't die. What will happen to Miaomiao if you die?
Dad will definitely come to pick us up and bring us back to our roots, and no one can stop him."
Zheng looked at Chu Miao with tears in her eyes, "Miao Miao, the General's Mansion has long become an empty shell. The Chu family has no good intentions in keeping you here.
Your father is an honest man, and we are being held hostage!"
"Today, mother has no choice but to risk her life to rescue you and get you out of the house to find your father at the Du family."
“Mom…”
“Miaomiao…”
Shen Zhao looked at the Zheng mother and daughter acting with a gloomy face.
They really know how to pick the right time. As soon as she woke up, Zheng started to commit suicide in the front yard.
It is estimated that the emperor will send someone to see her, and officials will also come to visit her.
There was no one in the front yard except the mother and daughter and the servants from the general's mansion.
There were also Zheng Shi, Ji Yuan and Hu Zheng who came to visit her.
