Chapter 227 Venting for Mother and Punishing Aunt
Zhuque threw Zhao Ningshuang to the ground.
Mrs. Jiang of the Zhao family walked over in disbelief, squatted down, helped Zhao Ningshuang up, and looked at her carefully.
When he saw the red mole on the back of Zhao Ningshuang's ear, he became even more certain that this person was his eldest daughter.
"Is it really you?"
"Ningshuang, are you really still alive?"
"Didn't you commit suicide?"
"When you committed suicide, you left a letter for all of us, so..."
Jiang's eyes were moist, and she subconsciously looked at Zhao Yurou, Su Yuheng and others.
Because Zhao Yurou had been tortured by Minglang for many years, white hair had grown on her temples and she looked very haggard.
In stark contrast to Zhao Ningshuang.
She never imagined that Zhao Ningshuang had faked her death.
Zhao Ningshuang hesitated, her eyes deliberately avoiding, not daring to look into Jiang's eyes.
"I……"
Jiang raised her hand and slapped Zhao Ningshuang hard in the face.
"Pah!"
The loud slapping sound was like a brand that was deeply imprinted in everyone's mind.
The hall suddenly fell silent.
Jiang's eyes were red, she reached out and grabbed Zhao Ningshuang's clothes tightly, and questioned her harshly.
"How could you do this? You've caused your sister so much pain over the years!"
"Because of you, she has suffered for more than ten years, but you are living a carefree life. Are you worthy of her?"
Zhao Ningshuang grinned coldly and pushed Jiang away indifferently.
"I harmed her? Isn't it because of you? If you hadn't been partial to her back then, would I have been like this?"
"You still dare to quibble!" Jiang was furious.
"If you hadn't seduced your fiancée brother-in-law and had an affair with the Zhu family's son, would you have been ashamed to face the people in the river?"
"At this point, you haven't realized your mistake at all, and you're still blaming us?"
Someone she had been waiting for for a long time came back to life.
It's joy, but also self-blame.
The joy was because Zhao Ningshuang was still alive.
They blamed themselves for Zhao Ningshuang's fake death, which caused a rift between them and Zhao Yurou.
This caused Zhao Yurou to leave home for many years and be tortured by Minglang for many years.
Su Yuheng looked at Zhao Ningshuang, who was lying on the ground glaring at Jiang and his mother fiercely.
He turned around and looked at the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Zhenyi, who was sitting in the main seat.
That is her maternal grandfather.
"Grandfather, Zhao Ningshuang, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, faked her own death. Before she died, she left a letter directly pointing out that my mother was the culprit. This caused my mother to become estranged from her family and leave the Zhao family."
"It also caused my mother to be imprisoned by Minglang for a long time. During the journey, she became blind and seriously ill. I also asked my grandfather to invite the elders of the clan to come and make public the fact that Zhao Ningshuang, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, had faked her death."
"Please also ask the Zhao family to clear my mother's name."
"We are all sensible people. The right and wrong of what happened back then are clear to everyone present here."
Sitting in the main seat, Zhao Zhenyi looked at Su Yuheng and Qi Lingzhou and sighed.
Finally, his eyes fell on Zhao Yurou.
"Yu Rou, come here, let your father see you."
Zhao Yurou took a step forward and walked in front of Zhao Zhenyi.
Those long-forgotten memories flooded into my heart like a flood.
Zhao Zhenyi said, "Today, I, your mother, your grandmother, and several relatives are all here. Tell me what happened back then, and what you've been through over the years."
Zhao Yurou bit her lip and told the story of how Zhao Ningshuang had made love with Minglang and the young master of the Zhu family at her grandmother's birthday party.
And the things Minglang said when he was drunk.
And how he went to the Shen family, married Shen Li and had children over the years, and then was imprisoned by Minglang.
All of this was said.
After hearing what Zhao Yurou said, everyone present fell silent.
Everyone feels heartbroken.
Finally, it was Zhao Zhenyi who spoke.
"Someone, go and ask the patriarch to come over."
"Yes, old master." A guard hurried down.
About a quarter of an hour later, an old man with white hair appeared in the front hall of the Zhao family.
The old man is already in his twilight years. Although his hair is gray, he is energetic and in very good health.
The last time, Qi Lingzhou came to see the patriarch.
After he told his mother what had happened, the clan leader sent cavalry to rescue her.
The patriarch held the Zhao family genealogy and family rules in his hands.
As soon as I stepped into the front hall, I saw Zhao Ningshuang slumped on the ground.
When he saw Zhao Ningshuang's face clearly, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
"So, you're really still alive."
Seeing the clan leader staring at her, Zhao Ningshuang grabbed the hem of her skirt tightly and tried to get up from the ground in a panic.
Before Keren could stand firmly, he collapsed to the ground again.
"I'm already married. I'm no longer a member of your Zhao family. You have no right to punish me!"
"Let me go, from now on I have nothing to do with your Zhao family!"
"Pa!" Jiang slapped him hard again.
Jiang's expression was serious, and she angrily said, "Since ancient times, marriage has been decided by the parents and the matchmaker!"
"It doesn't matter who you marry!"
"You've hurt your sister for so many years, and you think you can just let it go? Some debts must be repaid."
Zhao Ningshuang was stunned by Jiang's slap.
She covered her cheeks and looked at Jiang in disbelief.
"You really are partial to her!"
Jiang was too lazy to pay attention to her. She walked up to the old patriarch and asked, "Patriarch, what should we do according to the clan rules?"
The old patriarch looked solemn, his eyes fixed on Zhao Ningshuang.
"She committed adultery before marriage, seduced her future brother-in-law, faked her own death and slandered her own sister. According to clan rules, she should be beaten with thirty sticks, expelled from the family tree, and kicked out of the Zhao family!"
Thirty sticks, expelled from the family tree, driven out of the Zhao family?
Su Yuheng sneered.
This is too cheap for her.
Because of her fake death, her mother was separated from her family and went to Yanjing alone.
He was imprisoned for more than ten years, so why was he sent away with just thirty sticks?
"My mother and I disagree with this punishment." Su Yuheng said in a firm voice.
"How can thirty sticks be enough to withstand my mother's imprisonment for over ten years?"
The patriarch put down the family tree in his hand and looked at Su Yuheng with a sigh.
"You must be Heng'er, right? I heard that you are now the Crown Princess of Dayan."
Su Yuheng nodded: "Please ask the clan leader to re-sentence Zhao Ningshuang!"
The old patriarch asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"
Su Yuheng glanced at Zhao Ningshuang.
"Why has she lived freely for so many years while my mother has suffered so much because of her?"
"I want the clan leader to write a letter about how she seduced her future brother-in-law, had an affair with the Zhu family's young master, and faked her death to shirk responsibility. I need to stamp it with the Zhao clan's seal and make this known to the entire Zhao clan."
"I will have someone personally deliver this petition to Minister Wu of Qi."
After Su Yuheng finished speaking, Zhao Ningshuang became completely anxious.
"No."
"You can't do this to me, I'm your aunt after all!"
