Chapter 226 Returning to the Zhao Family to Vengeance for Mother
"Sister, what is that?" Qi Lingzhou's eyes were attracted by the squirming things in the sack.
Su Yuheng: "You'll know later."
She looked at the black-clad guards in front of her.
"Drag that thing to the inn first."
"Yes, Princess." The black-clad guard bowed and dragged the sack back to the inn.
Qi Lingzhou and Zhao followed Su Yuheng into the inn.
Now they still have a day's journey to the Zhao family, so they have to rest here first.
After they arrived at the inn, the thing in the sack was still whining.
Qi Lingzhou said: "Sister, why does it sound like a woman's voice to me?"
Zhao also asked: "Heng'er, what is in this?"
Hearing Zhao's voice, the things inside suddenly became quiet.
Su Yuheng looked at Zhao with an expressionless face.
"Mother, don't you want to know the truth of what happened back then?"
Zhao was confused: "What does Heng'er mean?"
Su Yuheng drew the dagger from his waist and separated the bag.
"Mother, you'll know once you see it."
"You've been deceived for so many years!"
The sack became loose, and Qi Lingzhou opened it immediately. What came into his sight was a face that was both very familiar and unfamiliar.
"There's a woman inside." Qi Lingzhou said.
Zhao followed Qi Lingzhou's gaze and saw a woman about forty years old with her limbs tied up.
Because the woman takes good care of herself, she looks only in her thirties.
She stared at Zhao with her eyes.
When Zhao saw the woman's face clearly, her heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife.
"Ning...you, you're still alive!"
"Is that you?"
"You...you're not dead, you're still alive!"
Zhao's eyes suddenly turned red.
When she saw that her eldest sister was still alive, she couldn't believe it.
Then what does everything she has endured over the years matter?
The woman had a white cloth stuffed in her mouth. When she saw Zhao, her eyes widened and she stammered, unable to speak.
"Mother, I've had the Tianji Pavilion investigate what happened back then. It turns out the eldest daughter of the Zhao family is still alive, and she faked her death."
"I just want to take her and my mother back to the Zhao family to seek justice for her."
Su Yuheng reached out and took the white cloth ball from Zhao Ningshuang's mouth.
Zhao Ningshuang coughed twice, then glared at Zhao fiercely.
"Zhao Yurou, I didn't expect you to escape from Qin!"
"Why weren't you killed by Minglang's sword...ah!"
Before Zhao Ningshuang could finish her words, Qi Lingzhou stretched out his leg and kicked her in the back.
"You killed my mother!"
"You caused my mother to be hated by the family, to be imprisoned by Minglang, and to be blamed for many years, yet you live freely and unrestrainedly!"
Zhao's eyes were red.
"Eldest sister, I never thought you were still alive and well after all these years. You've caused me so much pain!"
"It's because of the letters you left for your father, mother, and brother when you faked your death. In those letters, you claimed that your death was all because of me."
"You made me despised by them, and imprisoned by Minglang for so many years, yet you are still alive and well!"
"Why, for what reason!"
Zhao Ningshuang sneered and propped herself up and got up from the ground: "Why? Because you deserve it!"
"Pa!" A crisp slap landed.
Zhao raised her hand and slapped Zhao Ningshuang hard in the face.
"Since you are still alive, go to your clan and explain what happened back then, and clear my name!"
"I won't go. I won't go back to the Zhao family!" Zhao Ningshuang struggled desperately, but her limbs were tied and she couldn't move at all.
"I'm going to make my father, mother, and brothers hate you forever!"
"Pa!" Another slap came, but this time it wasn't Zhao who slapped her, it was Su Yuheng.
Su Yuheng found a rag and stuffed it directly into Zhao Ningshuang's mouth.
Zhao Ningshuang tried to break free, but Qi Lingzhou found a rope and tied her up tightly.
Zhao Ningshuang is older than my mother. She has been faking her death for so many years, but she is living a comfortable life outside.
She stays so young.
But what about his mother? She already had white hair on her temples. She had been imprisoned by Minglang for many years and looked older than her peers.
"Sister, I think this woman is not honest. Let Linglong and Zhuque guard her."
Su Yuheng nodded: "Okay."
"Azhou, are you going back to the Qi family after we go out for a while?"
Qi Lingzhou thought for a moment and said, "I will go back to the Qi family after my mother's matter is over."
"But I'll come back to see you."
Su Yuheng nodded: "Yes."
At night, Qi Lingzhou went to another room to rest.
Su Yuheng and Zhao were in a side room.
Linglong and Zhuque were in another room, taking turns looking at Zhao Ningshuang.
Zhao Ningshuang was not very obedient during the process and kept trying to escape, but she was tied up and could not move.
The second day.
After Su Yuheng and others got up, they finished washing up.
Linglong and Zhuque lifted Zhao Ningshuang onto the carriage and headed towards Zhao's house.
As it was getting dark, Su Yuheng and others finally arrived at the Zhao family.
The Zhao family is a big family in Jiangzhong, and their status is more prestigious than those aristocratic families in Yanjing.
The family's residence is comparable to a royal palace.
When they arrived at the Zhao family, Su Yuheng took out the jade pendant that Zhao Yunqi had given him the day before and showed it to the middle-aged man in charge.
The middle-aged man then went to the Zhao family's inner house to pass on the message.
Qi Lingzhou looked around.
"The Zhao family is indeed different. If you don't know them, you might think they are from the imperial palace. They are even more prestigious than our Qi family."
"Just..." Qi Lingzhou glanced at the woman that Linglong and Zhuque were escorting.
"People just don't understand, but my mother is very good."
Zhao smiled and said, "Zhou'er is always joking. You will be meeting your grandparents soon."
As they were talking, the manager of the Zhao family came out.
The steward said respectfully, "Second Miss, please come in."
Su Yuheng and others were led by the steward to the Zhao family's house. It took them about a quarter of an hour to reach the Zhao family's front hall.
The atmosphere in the front hall was very depressing. Sitting there were the head of the Zhao family, Old Madam Zhao, and Zhao Yunqi, the mistress of the Zhao family.
There are also several relatives from other branches.
After the manager brought Su Yuheng and others in, the atmosphere inside was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Finally, it was the mistress of the Zhao family, Jiang, who was also Su Yuheng's grandmother, who stood up from her chair and walked in front of Zhao Yurou.
"Rou'er, you're finally back."
Jiang held Zhao's hand and looked at Su Yuheng and Qi Lingzhou behind Zhao.
"Are you Heng'er?" she asked Su Yuheng.
"Grandma has only just seen you after you've grown up. Now that you're willing to come visit me, I'm very happy."
Su Yuheng raised the corners of her lips slightly and said, "Grandma, I went back to the Zhao family with my mother today because I have something I want to tell everyone."
"I also brought a big gift to the Zhao family this time. I hope my grandparents and uncle will like it."
"It can be considered as giving my mother justice."
Everyone was stunned to see Linglong and Zhuque escorting a woman in.
The woman's eyes were bloodshot and her mouth was stuffed with gauze. When she saw the people from the Zhao family, her expression became terrified.
As the woman approached, everyone in the Zhao family saw her face clearly.
The Zhao family patriarch stood up from his chair in disbelief.
"Ningshuang?"
"Is this woman Ning Shuang?"
