Chapter 295: Shameful Mother

Qian looked like she had suffered a great injustice, which attracted many visitors.

Seeing that Mrs. Qian was crying pitifully, someone said, "It is natural for a mother to see her son. What the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion did is really unfair."

"That's right. Without this mother, how could there be such a promising son? Isn't this a clear act of crossing the river and destroying the bridge after crossing it?"

Mrs. Qian was more confident when she saw that someone supported her. She continued, "I know that Uncle Jing'an is no longer the same as before. I don't expect anything else. I just want to see him before my child leaves."

At this time, Zhao Liming came out. He suppressed his displeasure and asked, "Mother, I heard that you made clothes for me. Your son can't wait to see them!"

Mrs. Qian hurriedly came up to him and said with tears in her eyes, "Liming, you are finally here. Mother thought she couldn't bear to see you!"

"Mother, my son is just going to take up his post, not to die. Where are the clothes you made?" Zhao Liming seemed to be very concerned about the clothes made by Qian.

Qian was speechless: "Clothes? Mother came in a hurry and forgot to take them!"

Xu said coldly: "From childhood to adulthood, you have only cared about your own enjoyment and have never sewed a needle for these two children. I'm afraid your making clothes is a joke!

When you wanted to divorce, Liming repeatedly asked you to think twice, but you left without looking back and didn't come to see him for several months. Now that he passed the exam, you suddenly remembered that you still have a son?"

"I know about this. When the eldest master of the Zhao family had an accident, the wife divorced him without waiting for him to return to Beijing. Now that the son has passed the exam and the husband has been promoted, I'm afraid you must be regretting it."

"So that's what happened. I was saying that the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion definitely had no reason to prevent mother and son from meeting each other. But the mother of the second place didn't know the general situation. How could she go to her son's aunt's house and make a scene!"

Qian didn't expect that public opinion would change so easily. This was all thanks to Zhao Wanyue. Those who spoke for the Zhao family were all instructed by her.

Now that everyone knows Qian's true face, they won't say anything about the Zhao family and Zhao Liming.

Zhao Liming had been extremely disappointed with his mother for a long time, but his self-cultivation prevented him from saying bad things to Qian.

He even bowed to Qian respectfully and said, "Then I will bid farewell to my mother here!"

"Liming, don't you want to see me? We haven't seen each other for a long time. I want to have a good talk with you." Qian said, and was about to walk towards the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"If you have anything to say, just say it here!" Zhao Liming's tone was full of indifference.

Qian had no choice but to humbly say: "Liming, mother knows that I was wrong. I divorced because I was afraid that you would have no one to rely on. Tell your father that I regret it and I want to go back."

"When mother divorced, my grandmother and I tried to persuade her to stay. Mother was very determined at that time and said that she would have nothing to do with the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion in the future. Now she wants to go back to the Zhao family. This is too ridiculous. Mother, please respect yourself!"

Zhao Liming's voice was neither loud nor low, but everyone could hear it.

He would rather everyone say that he was unfilial than let Qian pester his father again.

All these years, his father endured it, but he was not happy at all.

"Also, tell your uncle not to come to me anymore, and not to go to the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion anymore. If your uncle and grandfather want to make a career, they should work hard and do more practical things, instead of expecting others to pave the way for them."

He said this in a low voice, but Qian was still very embarrassed. She thought that she could be as free and unrestrained as she was when she was a young lady after returning to her parents' home.

Who knew that it was not the case at all. Her sister-in-law openly and secretly disliked her for eating and drinking for free, and the things she gave her were all the leftovers from her nieces.

Her father and brother became increasingly cold to her, especially after Zhao Hongye was appointed as the Minister of Works. They felt more and more that they were willful, and lost such a good husband as Zhao Hongye, and also left them without help.

Together, they ignored what had happened to Zhao Hongye. Looking at the solid evidence, they were afraid of being implicated, so they worked together to instigate Qian and Li.

Now they are all pointing to Qian's ability to go back. They don't want to miss the overwhelming wealth of Jing'an Bo Mansion.

Qian was too embarrassed to go to Zhao Antai, so she had no choice but to talk about her son.

It is not easy to mention this matter outside, but Zhao Liming leaves no room for it. If he doesn't talk about it now, he will have no chance when he takes office tomorrow.

Qian vaguely remembered Zhao Liming's reluctance when she wanted to reconcile. She thought that Zhao Liming would definitely help her if she wanted to go back, but she didn't expect that he would say so absolutely.

Qian has no way out now. Even if she can't reconcile with Zhao Hongye, she has to let her elder brother and father get promoted. Otherwise, she really can't live in her mother's family.

She can't let me miss this opportunity no matter what, so she sells me out again.

"Liming, I know you still blame me for the divorce with your father. You think I am unfaithful and don't care about your life.

I told you at that time that it's not that I don't dare to share the joys and sorrows with your father, but I was afraid that you would have no place to go, so I divorced. You don't forgive me, I don't blame you, at least let me talk to your father!"

Zhao Liming couldn't make sense, so he went directly to Zhao Hongye. Zhao Hongye was dull and honest. He did that after more than ten years of marriage, and he didn't say anything. This is not love for me.

Qian thought that just for this little bit of affection, she could make Zhao Antai change his mind.

Zhao Liming knew that his father had always been kind to his mother, but this time when his father came back, his mother didn't make trouble, and he was much happier. He would not let his father repeat the same mistake again.

So he said, "Mother, you and father have already divorced, it's not appropriate to meet again, let the past be the past, no matter how unreliable you were in the past, you are still my mother, I will not ignore you in the future, thank you for coming to see me off today!"

No matter what Qian said, Zhao Liming responded respectfully, but he did not give in.

Qian had no choice but to continue to scatter and shout into the house: "Hongye, Hongye, come out!"

Such behavior, let alone a girl from a rich family, even the daughter of an ordinary family would definitely not do such a rude act.

But Qian was anxious, because her sister-in-law had already said that if she didn't get anything today, she would be sent to a nunnery.

As a divorced woman, without a husband and son to take care of her, she had to do whatever her parents said.

She used to look down on the honest Zhao Antai, and she wanted to divorce him and marry her childhood sweetheart cousin.

However, her cousin knew that she was divorced and cheated her out of a lot of money, and then he disappeared. Now, she only has Zhao Hongye. Even if she has to beg him today, she has to make Zhao Hongye soften his heart and either find a way to help his father and brother get promoted, or renew their previous relationship.

Zhao Liming was so ashamed to see her being so rude that he didn't care about filial piety anymore. He just ordered, "Come here, send Qian back to the Qian Mansion!"
