Chapter 450 Min Rong Kills His Mother
Seeing that Madam Wu hesitated, Madam Min Qiao frowned and urged, "Why aren't you going yet?"
With a determined look and a firm grip on her teeth, Madam Wu agreed, "Grandmother, don't be angry, I'll go right now." With that, she strode out.
Compared to these unreliable in-laws, the old lady and her sister-in-law are much more worthy of being pleased.
Although the Marquis's estate cannot supplement her dowry, as long as she behaves well and tries to please the old lady, the old lady will surely not stand idly by when she is in trouble.
My sister-in-law is the best example!
I heard that the old lady used to harbor a lot of resentment towards her husband's eldest sister.
When the grandmother and granddaughter first had a falling out, the old lady didn't care about her sister-in-law's reputation at all when she was out and about.
But what was the result? The eldest sister-in-law suddenly realized her mistake and tried to please the old lady in every way, always taking her side. She even went against her own father for the old lady's sake.
Later, the old lady softened her heart.
When my husband's older sister got married, how many people laughed at her?
They said that the eldest sister-in-law, a princess consort, had a meager dowry, and mocked the Xuanping Marquis's family as a poor household.
And what happened? The old lady, far away in Huizhou, still didn't forget to send a huge dowry to her sister-in-law, giving her sister-in-law a lot of face.
Therefore, she should learn from her sister-in-law and firmly side with the old lady!
Having figured everything out, Ms. Wu walked out quickly without hesitation!
However, before she could even step out the door, Min Rong and Madam Wu shouted in unison, "Stop!"
Ms. Wu paused for a moment, but still resolutely lifted her foot to leave.
Just then, Wu rushed over and pulled her back.
"Where are you going?" Wu glared at her fiercely. "You haven't even finished speaking, what's the rush?"
Min Rong glared fiercely at Xiao Wu Shi, then turned to Min Qiao Shi, "Mother, are you trying to force me to die?"
Madam Min scoffed, "What do you mean I forced you to die? Didn't you force me to die first?"
"Besides, asking you to pay off your father's debts, can that be called forcing you to die? It should be called a matter of course!"
Min Rong clenched her fists, and after a long while, she said through gritted teeth, "Does Mother really have to do it this way?"
Min Rong walked step by step to the bedside, looking down at Min Qiao Shi, "Can't Mother feel sorry for her son and give up this idea?"
Madam Min frowned and said coldly, "If I say no, what will you do then?"
Min Rong looked at Min Qiaoshi with a sinister gaze and said in an icy tone, "If Mother does not agree, then I will have no choice but to ask Mother to pass away!"
As he spoke, he leaned forward and grabbed Min Qiaoshi by the neck.
"Everyone saw that Mother was carried out of the palace. Even if she were dead now, outsiders would only say that Mother died because of the Emperor! What does it have to do with me?"
He gripped Min Qiao's neck tightly, his eyes bloodshot, his expression crazed.
Min Rong's strength increased, and Min Qiao Shi knew that Min Rong really wanted to kill her.
At that moment, Madam Min Qiao felt the threat of death.
Just then, Wu and her younger sister Wu snapped out of their shock and rushed over to pull Min Rong away.
"My lord, what are you doing?" Madam Wu was terrified. "Let go of me!"
Although she was also unhappy with the old lady's actions, she didn't think it was necessary to kill the old lady for it!
Xiao Wu didn't care about anything else and used all her strength to pry Min Rong's hand off.
"Father, let go! Father!"
Min Qiaoshi's face was already flushed, and she was almost out of breath.
With a tug from Wu Shi and Xiao Wu Shi, Min Rong's grip loosened somewhat.
Just when Min Qiao thought she was about to escape, an unexpected scene unfolded.
Min Rong raised his foot and kicked both Wu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to the ground.
In that instant, Madam Min Qiao got a chance to catch her breath.
At that very moment, Madam Min suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Wasn't Min Rong poisoned? Wasn't he in poor health?
How come someone who was struggling to breathe and coughing incessantly just moments ago has such great strength now?
Min Qiao's eyelids twitched.
Did Min Yuexi deceive her? Or did Min Rong deceive everyone?
Before she could think any further, after kicking over the Wu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Min Rong rushed up again and grabbed her by the neck.
This time, Min Rong moved faster, used more force, and was even more determined to kill her.
"Is Mother wondering why I'm so strong?"
Min Rong leaned closer to her and said in a wicked tone, "Heh, Mother thinks I didn't know that that rebellious daughter Min Yuexi poisoned me?"
"Heh, I was just playing along!"
"Judging from Mother's expression, it seems that Mother was also involved in that rebellious daughter poisoning me."
"That rebellious daughter is still useful, but Mother, you are useless now!"
Min Rong laughed arrogantly and said, "Mother didn't expect this, did she? Being carried out of the palace is simply a godsend for me to kill my mother!"
"Didn't Yan Jin next door commit patricide and matricide? Heh, I, Min Rong, dare to do it too!"
She struggled and groped around...
But how could a little old woman like her possibly outmaneuver Min Rong, who was in the prime of his life?
Even more tragically, she had no hairpins in her hair, no porcelain vases by her bedside, and no dangerous items such as scissors or daggers on her bed.
Just when she was completely out of breath and thought she was going to die, a hidden weapon flew over and pierced Min Rong's hand with perfect accuracy.
"Who goes there!?" Min Rong clutched his injured hand, looking around in shock and anger, but couldn't see a single person.
Having narrowly escaped death, Madam Min Qiao returned, both surprised and delighted, to the direction from which the dart had come.
Is it really true?
Although Min Qiao's first thought was that it was true, she quickly dismissed the idea.
When they parted ways at the city gate, he actually went back with Lady Yongning.
Moreover, if it were true, he really wouldn't have watched her suffer for so long.
They would have jumped out to stop Min-young long ago!
Moreover, based on her understanding of Zhen Huan, if Zhen Huan had seen Min Rong kill her, she probably wouldn't have stabbed Min Rong's hand with the dart, but rather his neck and temple, killing him outright!
It's not really true. And it's not the old woodcutter either. That leaves only one possibility.
Min Qiaoshi couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.
As expected, Emperor Xiaozhao would not allow himself to die now!
Madam Wu and Madam Xiao Wu also clutched their stomachs and got up from the ground. While carefully looking around, they slowly moved closer to the bedside, one on each side to protect her.
Min Rong searched for a long time but couldn't find a single person. However, whenever he tried to get closer to the bed, the darts would fly to his feet with two "thuds" and stop him from moving forward.
Min Rong glared at Min Qiao Shi unwillingly, and after a long while, he finally gave up, covered his hands, and prepared to leave.
But to his surprise, when he reached the door, the dart struck the doorknob again.
They wouldn't kill him, but they also forbade him to approach Madam Min, and wouldn't allow him to leave the room...
What exactly is the person hiding in the shadows planning?
