Chapter 378: The Obstinate Mother Who Can't Distinguish Right from Wrong
No, it couldn’t have been my mother or sister-in-law who beat me.
Although on the surface she didn't care about Zhiyou, she secretly sent several thousand taels of silver and things to her mother's home in Jiangnan every year without telling her family and the old man.
Let mother and sister-in-law take good care of Zhiyou.
They are Zhiyou's grandmother and her aunt and will never harm Zhiyou in any way.
"Is it because those people hurt you like this when the old man sent people to pick you up?"
Wu Zhiyou smiled sadly.
"Mother, take a close look at your daughter's legs. Can they be built in just one month?"
"The oldest scar on it was from when my daughter was just a toddler."
"Mother, look at the countless scars on your daughter's legs. They are the result of being whipped day after day, year after year..."
The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty shouted at Wu Zhiyou, interrupting her and saying that she was about to continue speaking about her grievances.
"Zhiyou, I forbid you from saying anything to frame your grandmother's family just to avoid marrying your cousin. Do you hear me?"
The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty roared out in anger, not caring that they were in the Chu Mansion.
It seemed that only in this way could she convince herself that her mother, sister-in-law and sisters did not abuse Zhiyou.
Wu Zhiyou's already pale face turned pale in an instant, losing all its blood color.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something else, but when she saw her mother's ferocious face,
My heart sank instantly.
She suddenly laughed, unable to suppress her laughter.
Shen Zhao and Chu Mu couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Could the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty be blind?
Even though his own daughter has been tortured like this, he still speaks for her mother's family.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wu Zhiyou's legs were not built up overnight, but were the result of years of accumulation.
Not only did she not know how to comfort Wu Zhiyou, who was physically and mentally hurt, she also rubbed salt into her wounds.
Is this my mother? It's no exaggeration to say she's my enemy!
The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty looked at Wu Zhiyou who was laughing wildly, her heart suddenly tightened, and a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes.
She wanted to reach out to help Wu Zhiyou, but Wu Zhiyou dodged her.
The feeling of heartache that had just risen disappeared in an instant.
"Wu Zhiyou, what on earth are you doing? You want to force your mother to death..."
Shen Zhao opened his mouth and shouted:
"Madam Wu! I really doubt whether Miss Wu is your biological daughter. As a mother, you don't feel sorry for your daughter's experience, but instead repeatedly threaten her and doubt her."
"Is there any woman like you?"
As he spoke, Shen Zhao looked at Wu Zhiyou and his tone softened.
"Miss Wu, I have great respect for your father. If you have any grievances, please tell me and I will tell your father the truth."
The wife of Marquis Zhongyi is not a reliable mother. Marquis Zhongyi is an upright man, and the only person Miss Wu can rely on is her father.
It is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs. Even though she has guessed many of Miss Wu’s grievances, as an outsider, she has no right to interfere.
I can only try my best to help this poor child.
The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty no longer asked Prince Zhong to take Wu Zhiyou as his concubine.
He walked up to Wu Zhiyou and was about to leave.
"Your Majesty, I have now given up what I have requested. I will take my leave now."
She was afraid that she would hear everything she didn't want to hear.
She was even more afraid that Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong would look down on her because of this.
Her Yunhai is still in the camp in the capital, still under the command of Prince Zhong.
She can't let anyone look down on her, her mother's family is her strength.
Even if the Chen family is really wrong, she will still cover for the Chen family.
Wu Zhiyou shook off the hand of the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty.
She looked at her mother with strangeness and disappointment.
"Mother is afraid that Zhiyou will make public the disgusting things the Jiangnan Chen family did to me..."
"Zhiyou, shut up! Those are your maternal grandparents who raised you." The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty scolded Wu Zhiyou.
She saw the alienation in her daughter's eyes becoming even more severe, and quickly explained in a low voice:
"Zhiyou, I have my own difficulties. Can't you be understanding of me? I know you've been wronged. I promise you that as long as you agree to marry your cousin, I will discuss it with your grandmother and aunt and will never let you suffer any grievances again."
For Yunhai and the Chen family, Zhiyou must marry into the Chen family.
A line of tears rolled down Wu Zhiyou's eyes.
"So even if Mother knew about the torture I've endured in the Chen family over the years, she would still insist on marrying me off to the Chen family and sending me back to Jiangnan, right?"
Wu Zhiyou's tone was exceptionally calm, but Shen Zhao could hear the undisguised grief in it.
She could understand Wu Zhiyou's hatred and helplessness at this moment.
After all, she had been treated unfairly before.
"Zhiyou, believe me. I will never let them bully you again. I promise you."
After she took control of the Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion and brought Yunhai out from the camp in the capital, she personally sent Zhiyou back to Jiangnan.
The Chen family still relies on her. As long as she speaks up, her mother and sister-in-law will never hurt Zhiyou again.
It takes two to tango. She didn't believe that her mother and sister-in-law would hit Zhiyou for no reason.
Thinking about the letters written to her by her sister-in-law and niece, Zhiyou must be too left-wing.
Only her mother and sister-in-law would discipline her harshly.
But Zhiyou is still young and cannot understand their good intentions.
Chen Zhao listened to the thoughts of the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness and really wanted to pry open her brain and take a look.
If the Chen family really cared about her face, they would not have beaten Wu Zhiyou like this.
This mother is too much. She is unwilling to believe her own daughter. She would rather label her daughter as spoiled and domineering, and speak for those beasts in her family.
Is this person really worth working with?
The actions of the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty made Shen Zhao reconsider.
"How can Madam Wu assure Miss Wu that she will no longer be bullied when she returns to Jiangnan?"
"I really doubt whether Madam Wu is worthy of my cooperation. She doesn't even have the ability to distinguish right from wrong."
As soon as Shen Zhao said this, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty immediately said anxiously:
"Your Highness, the Chen family is my mother's family. They must have a reason for treating my daughter this way."
"My sister-in-law and niece have written to me many times, saying that Zhiyou's temper has become increasingly left-wing. I think they are attacking Zhiyou just to straighten her out."
"Your Highness, I will definitely not let you down. Please give me a chance."
She has already started planning, and once Wu Yunfeng leaves, she will be able to control the old man.
"How can I trust you? You said that everything you know about Miss Wu was told to you by those who harmed her. How can you be sure that they are telling the truth?"
"Instead of smearing Miss Wu, after the incident was exposed, they denied the fact that they abused Miss Wu and put all the blame on Miss Wu."
The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty replied without hesitation, "They won't. I believe them."
Shen Zhao's tone darkened, "It seems that this king really can't cooperate with Madam Wu, because you are too self-righteous and too stupid!"
She said it so clearly, but the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty was still stubborn and would rather believe the evil person than Wu Zhiyou. This stupid and self-righteous person was not worth her attention.
The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty was stunned.
How did things turn out like this?
She came to ask the prince to help her, not to sever the cooperation between her and the prince.
All this was caused by Wu Zhiyou. If she had been obedient and if she had a grateful heart, things would never have developed to this point.
"Wu Zhiyou! Are you happy now? Do you know that you have ruined the Marquis of Loyalty and your brother Yunhai... If I had known this, I would not have planned for you and let that old thing throw you into the deep palace.
Let you experience the dangers of this world, then you will understand how good your mother and the Chen family are to you! "
The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty accused Wu Zhiyou at the top of her lungs.
She blamed all the faults on Wu Zhiyou.
The scars on Wu Zhiyou's body were completely invisible.
“That’s enough!”
