He almost burst into tears, saying one sentence after another that he was wrong.
Unfortunately, Chen Yao did not show any mercy this time.
When his arm was wrapped around her injured waist, the fog that had been clouding her heart suddenly cleared.
Looking down, the drunken man in front of him didn't seem to have anything outstanding about him.
Many years ago, he tricked her into getting pregnant before marriage, leaving her to face her family alone. He repeatedly advised her to go back and submit to her family. He blurted out the words "protect the baby" during a difficult delivery and could not hide his disgust when they were in love... one thing after another.
Is she blinded by greed?
Would she feel that such a man loved her?
Emotions surged in his eyes, from shock, sadness, anger at first, to calmness at last.
Zhang Mian, who knew her somewhat, knew that she might have woken up and could no longer be deceived.
If she insists on leaving, I can't stop her.
Just like when she insisted on being with him.
If she goes back and complains, won't she be finished?
But Chen Yao has known Zhang Mian for many years.
Just when Zhang Mian was about to make a move, Chen Yao spoke up, "I'm taking Zhang Zhong to see my sister today."
Zhang Mian paused, "Your sister?"
"Princess Changning."
"you……"
"Don't worry, I married you and even gave birth to a child, so naturally I only care about the Zhang family." Shen Yao glanced at him, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of letting Zhang Zhong marry Shen Jun."
"But they..."
"It's a world of difference, I know." She smiled sarcastically, "But didn't you marry me back then?"
Zhang Mian fell into deep thought after hearing this. Indeed, where else could a woman go after giving birth to a child?
Zhang Zhong and Shen Jun...
Chen Jun is a real princess, her mother is also a princess, and her two brothers are so capable. If Zhang Zhong can really marry Chen Jun...
By then, the only two daughters of the Shen family will have married into the Zhang family, and the father-in-law should have nothing to say.
A change of ownership is just around the corner.
He was excited just thinking about it, but when he saw his wife's calm eyes, he came back to his senses in an instant.
He began to hug her and coax her, speaking softly and tenderly, in the same tone as when they first fell in love.
But now Chen Yao just feels disgusted.
She struggled to get up and said, "I'll go find some ointment for my daughter first."
"No, no, I'll go. I'll go right away. You guys wait here."
After making sure the man had left, she picked up her daughter and felt very distressed when she saw the scars on her face.
"My dear, I have a few words for you. You must remember them."
"Mother..." Zhang Xiao was crying as she looked at the wound on her face. She reached out to touch it, then leaned over and blew on it. "Blow, it won't hurt, mother..."
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, Mommy." Chen Yao wiped away her tears. "Xiaoxiao, in a few days, Mommy will take you to Grandpa's place. You must ask Grandpa to keep you, okay?"
She had a feeling that what they were about to do might not be accomplished.
Once the truth comes out, her father will definitely side with Chen Jun.
By then she would be completely abandoned, and her life would be like this, but her daughter could not rot in the mud.
This is the child she is determined to give birth to at all costs, and she wants to plan a good future for the child.
"Mother..." Zhang Niang didn't understand why she said that, but looking at her mother's cautious eyes, she nodded, "Niang Niang will remember it."
Zhang Mian observed Chen Yao for a few days and was completely relieved to see that she really didn't seem to be leaving.
That day, Chen Yao was thinking about what they would do next time Chen Jun went out, when suddenly Zhang Niang ran over and said, "Mom, what did Daddy give Grandma to eat? Was it candy? Niang Niang wants some too."
Chen Yao didn't react at first, "That's medicine, you can't take it unless you're sick."
"It's white. Is it medicine? It looks like candy."
"White?"
These are all pre-prepared medicines bought at the pharmacy. Are there any free medicines?
She looked at her daughter and asked seriously and quietly, "Did Daddy pour something white into the medicine pot?"
Zhang nodded, "Yes~"
Chen Yao became suspicious because Zhang Mian usually prepared and delivered the medicine himself.
She never suspected there was anything wrong.
But now, she inexplicably remembered the letter her father had shown her.
The next day, she deliberately sent away the servants who were guarding Zhang Mian while he was decocting the medicine, and hid behind the cabinet in advance, watching Zhang Mian decoct the medicine.
When she saw Zhang Mian really pouring a bag of white powder into the pot, she almost subconsciously held her breath.
After he took the medicine out, he followed her to the small courtyard where Zhang Mian's mother lived.
After all these years of marriage, she only went to her bedside to pay her respects on the second day after her marriage.
Later, all her affairs were taken care of by Zhang Mian and the servants in the house.
Occasionally, she would pretend to ask Zhang Mian if he needed her to serve her because she wanted to show her filial piety, but she would always be rejected by him.
They said they were afraid of scaring her, as she was a noble lady and couldn't do such a thing.
But now when she looked at the person lying on the bed, she realized that he was so thin.
He was so thin that only bones were left, with his eyes closed. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall in his chest, he would have looked no different from a dead person.
As Zhang Mian fed the person on the bed medicine, he slowly said, "Mother, seeing that your son, I, can't pass the imperial examination, there's no need for you to waste money on medicine."
"I plan to calm down before taking the exam. By then, the three-year mourning period will be over. If I take the exam then, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
He fed the medicine into the mouth of the person on the bed without changing his expression. The person on the bed was breathing out more than breathing in, so the medicine was difficult to feed.
He put down the bowl, pinched the woman's chin with one hand, and forced her to drink the medicine.
"Mom, don't blame me. Who made you do such a shameless thing? If you continue to live, everyone will know that I have such a terrible mother. It will become a stain on me.
If I become an official in the future, others will use this to criticize me.
You also know that when I married your daughter-in-law a few years ago, I didn't dare to invite my relatives from home for fear that the matter would be exposed.
If those two siblings hadn't been so easy to deceive, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet such a noble lady."
Chen Yao, who was standing outside the window and peeking, felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave. She squatted down, covered her mouth, and dared not make a sound.
The next day, Zhang Mian's mother passed away.
The funeral was very grand. Zhang Mian knelt in front of the coffin, crying breathlessly.
She didn't dare show any abnormality and shed two tears. She didn't know whether she was crying for this poor woman or for herself.
After her mother was buried, she took her children out on the pretext of going out to arrange matters for Zhang Zhong and Shen Jun.
In fact, she did agree to Tu Qingye's proposal and asked someone to kidnap Chen Jun.
