Zhao Yunzhu lowered her eyes and did not dare to look at her mother and sister-in-law.
"Auntie, I'll entrust her to you from now on!"
Hearing her say that she was here to take the child away, the eldest sister-in-law quickly stepped forward and put the baby in Zhao Yunzhu's hands.
After this separation, I’m afraid we’ll never have the chance to meet again in this life.
How could a mother bear it?
The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhao family turned her head away, not daring to look at him again, for fear that she would not be able to suppress her reluctance in the next second.
Mother Zhao stood by and sighed repeatedly.
Zhao Yunzhu didn't know what to say for a moment.
The three of them looked gloomy.
Mother Zhao looked at her daughter reluctantly, and all her words turned into a heavy sigh.
Zhao's mother didn't dare ask about her daughter's life at her husband's house, the Yong'an Marquis.
But I already had a bad feeling in my heart.
She patted her daughter's arm gently, her eyes full of reluctance and worry.
"Yunzhu, live."
Yes, the thousands of words in Zhao's mother's heart finally turned into one sentence: "Live".
Now that the Zhao family has lost hope, Zhao's mother understands that her daughter's future life in Chang'an will be difficult, but as long as her daughter can live well, she will be content.
Zhao Yunzhu held her mother's hand tightly and refused to let go.
Tears welled up in my eyes and my chest felt so blocked that I couldn't breathe.
She knew in her heart that after today, there would probably never be another opportunity like this.
How could she bear to do that?
She knelt down holding her niece, and Zhao's mother hurried forward to stop her.
However, Zhao Yunzhu changed from her usual obedient self and stubbornly pushed her mother away.
Her voice was hoarse and she choked with sobs, "Mother, I am unfilial. Let me kowtow to you."
"It's a way to repay my mother for giving birth to and raising me."
After saying this, Zhao Yunzhu hugged his niece and kowtowed several times.
The dull thud echoed through the cell.
Zhao Yunzhu let her tears wet her dress. She hated herself for being incompetent and unable to save her parents.
So what if she is the most talented woman in Chang'an? Behind the glamorous and beautiful appearance, she is just a girl kept in the back house.
If I could give up my fame and talent in exchange for the safety of my family.
She enjoyed it.
Mother Zhao shed tears secretly. She didn't want to make her daughter feel guilty, so she suppressed the sadness in her heart.
He stepped forward to help his daughter up and advised, "Yunzhu, everyone will grow old, get sick, and die sooner or later. You don't have to feel too guilty or blame yourself."
"In the future, as long as you and this child live safely and healthily, mother will be satisfied."
After saying this, Zhao's mother turned her back and wiped away her tears.
Zhao Yunzhu's vision was blurred, and she could only nod and sob, agreeing to everything.
The maid behind her urged her to leave, although Zhao Yunzhu was reluctant.
Before leaving, Zhao Yunzhu looked at her sister-in-law and asked, "By the way, sister-in-law, what's my niece's name..."
At this moment, the emotions that Zhao's eldest sister-in-law had been holding on to completely collapsed.
Mother Zhao sighed again and said, "Yunzhu, you can name the child in the future. You don't have to tell us. As long as she can live safely and healthily, that's all that matters!"
Zhao Yunzhu was stunned for a moment before she understood what her mother meant.
She glanced at the swaddled baby and nodded.
The maid put her niece into a bamboo basket. Zhao Yunzhu put on a veil and quickly walked out of the prison.
"stop!"
With a loud shout, Zhao Yunzhu had no choice but to look up and saw someone blocking the way not far away.
Her heart was in her throat.
"Zhao Yunzhu, what are you doing here?"
"You're not here to do anything shameful?"
Zhao Yunzhu lifted the veil covering her face and looked at the person who came.
"Miss Du San, why are you in such a good mood today? Could it be that your lover is imprisoned in this prison?"
Zhao Yunzhu said sarcastically.
Du Jiaojiao, the third daughter of the second branch of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, is arrogant and willful, and behaves recklessly because she is the only girl of her generation.
Three years after Zhao Yunzhu married into the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, Du Jiaojiao had taken away many gold and silver jewelry from her.
Du Jiaojiao doesn't like her.
It’s just because Du Jiaojiao is Song Shumin’s best friend, and she has always hoped that Song Shumin could become her sister-in-law.
Unexpectedly, the Yong'an Marquis insisted on marrying Zhao Yunzhu.
"Zhao Yunzhu, you are an abandoned woman. How dare you slander and spread rumors about me?"
Du Jiaojiao pointed at Zhao Yunzhu and gritted her teeth.
The reason she was here today was because Song Shumin asked her to come, saying that Zhao Yunzhu might come to the prison today and take away the Zhao family's newborn baby.
Du Jiaojiao wished that Zhao Yunzhu and everyone in the Zhao family would disappear from this world.
How could Zhao Yunzhu get what she wanted?
She really got the person she bet on in the prison, but she never expected that the words Zhao Yunzhu said would be so unpleasant.
Zhao Yunzhu sneered, "A few days ago, you went to the manor under the pretext of staying for a while—"
"shut up!"
Du Jiaojiao interrupted immediately.
But Zhao Yunzhu was not willing to listen to her. "Du Jiaojiao, do you know who told me this?"
"who?"
"Of course it was Song Shumin. She originally wanted me to report this to you, turning you and me, the former sister-in-law, against each other."
A few months ago, Du Jiaojiao had an affair with an actor in the theater.
In order to be able to stay with her beloved forever, Du Jiaojiao did not hesitate to disobey the marriage arranged for her by her elders.
She eloped with the actor.
The second branch of the Du family in Yong'an Marquis's Mansion discovered this and secretly sent people to look for it, but the second branch kept the matter secret.
It was announced to others that Du Jiaojiao had gone to the farm to recuperate in the hot springs.
Zhao Yunzhu didn't know the inside story at first.
Until Song Shumin told her about this.
Before Zhao Yunzhu could figure out how to deal with the matter, the Zhao family suffered a disaster.
