Chapter 192 The truth of that year
It turns out that Minglang is a scumbag!
Outside, everyone thought that he was deeply in love with Zhao.
Now that I think about it, it was just to cover up the fact that I had an affair with someone else even though I was engaged.
Su Yuheng looked at Minglang and snorted coldly.
It really is a scumbag.
"Don't talk nonsense. When did I have an affair with your elder sister?" Minglang was furious at what Zhao said.
He strode forward and was about to strangle Zhao's neck, but was blocked by Zhuque.
Zhao sat on the edge of the bed and sneered at Minglang's unwilling and angry voice.
"At this point, how long are you going to keep pretending, Prime Minister? You've long known that I know about the two of you."
"Do you want me to tell you the truth about what happened back then?"
"You two were at my grandmother's birthday party!"
"At that time, our Zhao family and the Ming family were discussing our marriage, and my mother was delighted to choose a wedding date with your Ming family."
"When I went to my eldest sister's yard to look for her, I saw the two of you making love in the side room, so I proposed to cancel the engagement with you in public!"
"While my elder sister was making love with you, she was secretly engaged to the young master of the Zhu family. Later, the young master of the Zhu family learned of your affair and wanted to break off all ties with my elder sister. I meant to comfort my elder sister, but I accidentally told her that I knew about your affair."
"After being abandoned by the young master of the Zhu family, she committed suicide by taking poison. Before she died, she left a letter for you, right?"
Zhao's voice was very loud, and her empty eyes looked straight ahead.
Minglang froze in place, his eyes filled with hatred.
He said word by word, "Yes."
Zhao snorted coldly: "Sure enough, my eldest sister thought until her death that the Zhu family's young master abandoned her because of me!"
"Actually, everything is wrong! Her death has nothing to do with me. In fact, my eldest sister's death is all because of you!"
"You're talking nonsense! How could it be because of me? Ningshuang's death was because of you, a bitch!" Minglang's face turned purple, and his fists clenched under his wide robe.
Zhao continued, "You don't believe me? Then let me explain it to you."
"On my grandmother's birthday, I discovered your affair and broke off the engagement, but I didn't tell anyone else about it."
"When your engagement was broken off, you felt ashamed and angry, so you went to a restaurant, got drunk, and told the son of the Minister of Rites about your elder sister and you."
"After the young master of the Zhu family found out, he decided to cut ties with his elder sister."
"Isn't all this because of you?"
"You've held me captive for so many years simply because I bear a passing resemblance to my elder sister! All the wives and concubines in your mansion were chosen to look like my elder sister."
"No...impossible!" Minglang's face showed an expression of disbelief.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why? I couldn't possibly have hurt her. No way!"
"Ningshuang didn't die because of me, she died because of you!"
Zhao sneered and said, "It was only half a month ago that I learned that my eldest sister left you a letter before she died. Only then did I know that she committed suicide because of you."
"I don't believe it. It was you who killed Ningshuang, not me!" Minglang glanced at Zhao coldly, and walked out of the room with red eyes.
But he was stopped by Su Yuheng.
"Please, Lord Prime Minister, release my mother."
"Since you are so heartless and ungrateful to my mother, why are you still imprisoning her when she wasn't the one who made the mistake?"
Minglang looked at Su Yuheng coldly and sneered: "Why? I don't believe what she said at all. I want her to forgive Ningshuang!"
"You are my Minglang daughter now, and she is your mother and should stay in my Prime Minister's Mansion!"
"Don't think you can take your mother away with you, Princess Li, just because you have two maids who know martial arts. You have to understand that the Qin Kingdom here is not Dayan, not the Imperial City of Yanjing!"
"I am the Prime Minister of Qin. As long as she is within the Qin territory, I will capture her!"
After Minglang finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Who are these people?" Linglong on the side was really angry.
"Scum." Suzaku responded.
"Princess, what should we do now? Minglang knows it's his fault, yet he still wants to imprison the lady."
Su Yuheng turned around and glanced at Zhao on the bed, sighed and said, "You two should go out first. Qi Lingzhou and I will take care of this matter."
After the two maids Linglong and Zhuque left the room.
Su Yuheng turned around and walked towards Zhao.
She pursed her lips and looked at Zhao on the edge of the bed, not knowing how to start.
Finally, it was Zhao who spoke first.
"Heng'er, come here."
The woman's gentle voice reached her eardrums.
Su Yuheng's eyes gradually became moist.
When she was in the Su family, Liu never gave her warmth.
When she was a child, she was afraid and wanted to rely more on Liu, but Liu pushed her away with disgust.
At that time, she didn't know why Liu hated her.
Later I found out that I was not her biological child.
She walked towards Zhao step by step, and sat down slowly when she reached Zhao's side.
Zhao's eyes were red. She reached out to her side and placed Su Yuheng's hand in her palm.
"Heng'er, it's mother's fault. Mother didn't protect you well."
"I'm sorry for making you suffer in the Su family."
Su Yuheng shook his head. "It's all in the past."
"Now my grandmother is seriously ill. She calls my mother's name every day and hopes that she will return to the Shen family so that our family can be reunited."
Zhao's eyes were sore, and when she thought of General Shen Li's death, she waved her sleeves and sobbed.
"But the general is gone."
"I……"
"Mother." Su Yuheng gently helped Zhao up and put her on his shoulders.
"Although Daddy is gone, you still have us, your sister, your brother, and your younger brother, right?"
Her voice choked with sobs: "But I miss the general."
"How did you know you had a younger brother? Where is he? Did you find him?"
Su Yuheng smiled and held Zhao's hand in his palm.
She looked around and saw that no one was around, so she whispered, "He's the young doctor who examined you."
When Su Yuheng finished speaking, Zhao frowned.
"Him? Really him?"
Su Yuheng nodded: "Yes, he is very sensible and wants mother to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Zhao was deeply moved. She reached out and held Su Yuheng's hand tightly, saying softly, "Mother thought that I would be trapped in the deserted courtyard and wait for death for the rest of my life. I didn't expect that Heng'er would come too."
"I really want to go back to Dayan and see the Shen family."
"Is your sister in good health? Where's Tingzhou? Is Tingzhou okay?"
"Mother remembers when I was still in the General's Mansion, your elder sister and Tingzhou were only a few years old. I wonder what they look like now."
Su Yuheng raised the corner of his lips and sighed, "Sister and brother are very good."
"They are all waiting for mother to come back."
Feeling sad, Zhao couldn't help sobbing again.
Everything happened so suddenly.
She had been locked up in the deserted courtyard for so many years that she almost went crazy.
But in the end she waited for her daughter and son.
The originally despairing heart was rekindled with hope.
"It's great to have you, mother."
