Chapter 821
After Zheng finished speaking, Shen Jun was speechless.
Seeing this, Zheng simply got up and left.
Looking around the large hall, now empty except for himself, Shen Jun sighed and headed towards the old lady's courtyard.
——
Shen Jun originally thought that regardless of whether Zhong Jie's words were true or false, the old lady's life was more important.
He had originally intended to persuade the old lady to leave Luoyang to avoid the limelight, but as soon as he uttered those words, she launched into a tirade of abuse against him.
"This is the Marquis's residence! Don't you have any sense of responsibility as a Marquis? Letting another man's woman run wild on your own turf, how could I have given birth to a son like you?!"
Shen Jun was caught in the middle, not daring to provoke either side, and felt incredibly humiliated: "Mother, please don't be so angry. What I said was just a temporary measure. That princess has clearly decided on you, and she's unwilling to look at the evidence. We can't afford to offend her..."
Madam Si nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Madam, you have no idea how arrogant the Yunnan Prince's Mansion is! They actually tied me up on the street and brought me back! They even stole my token to enter the palace! It's clear that the Yunnan Prince's Mansion is full of lunatics! It's really not good for them to have their eyes on us, Madam!"
Mother Si was tied up and dragged back from the street, so she knew best how powerful the Yunnan Prince's Mansion was.
Even before the old lady was willing to leave, Si's mother was worried about how to persuade her. Now that Shen Jun had finally come, Si's mother naturally wanted to seize the opportunity.
Madam Si immediately rolled up her sleeves and presented her arm, covered in bruises and welts: "Madam, look at me! This is what they did to me, and they did it outside! If they really wanted to do something to you, they wouldn't be afraid to! Anyway, they are from the Prince's mansion. As long as they don't have evidence, what they say is law, isn't it?"
Seeing these wounds, the old lady finally began to waver.
She pondered for a moment, then tentatively looked at Shen Jun: "They... they shouldn't be like this, right? After all, this is the capital..."
Hearing the old lady's words, Shen Jun couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
It's a wonder the old lady knew this was right under the emperor's nose; she still dared to do such a thing...
“Mother, that’s not necessarily true,” Shen Jun said honestly. “The Prince of Yunnan holds a large army and is His Majesty’s confidant. If the Princess Consort handles things cleanly and leaves no trace, the palace probably won’t care.”
Upon hearing Shen Jun's words, the old lady couldn't help but shrink back, thinking to herself, "How come this Prince's Mansion is just like the one back home?"
That's really scary.
However, the old lady no longer insisted on staying there.
Anyway, she's doing quite well back in her hometown, so there's really no need for her to go out of her way to bring bad luck upon herself.
So the old lady immediately ordered that they pack their things and go back to their hometown.
As the old lady was leaving, Shen Jun, as her son, naturally prepared more things for her to take back with her, and the Marquis's mansion was instantly bustling with activity.
Hearing the commotion from Rongxi Hall, Madam Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "This old lady is still senile, otherwise I wouldn't have swallowed my anger if Zirong had been implicated because of her!"
Since Huo Zhao became her daughter-in-law, and seeing the Huo family's current behavior, Madam Zheng deeply felt that she had been too honest before.
Forget about mother-in-law and mother-in-law; anyone who bullies her deserves a slap in the face!
Instead of swallowing our anger until now!
