Su Li pulled him closer: "A Bao, tell me carefully, what exactly happened to your mother's death?"
"Mother said she wanted to go to the capital with Dad for the imperial examination, but Dad wouldn't let her. He started arguing with her and even beat her. Later, when she said she wanted to go to the capital with Dad again, Dad pushed her into a well and said, 'Since Mom likes to get in the way so much, she should just die...'"
When Abao said this, his face was already covered with tears and he was sobbing uncontrollably.
Xiao Ye and Xiao Wu were shocked. Was he going to kill his wife just because of this? How cruel!
Su Li understood it in his heart.
In the original novel, Zhao Xingwen went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. After marrying the daughter of a minister, he bribed someone to kill his original wife and son.
She originally thought that he had concealed the fact that he was married because Zhang Ruying had taken a fancy to him and he himself wanted to be the Shangshu's son-in-law. Later, for the sake of his future, he wanted to hide the truth and cruelly killed his wife and children.
Now, she finally understood that Zhao Xingwen had been looking for a better job while still having one. From the very beginning, he had been dreaming of going to Beijing to climb up the social ladder and becoming a royal son-in-law.
Therefore, he would never let his wife come to Beijing and block his path to becoming a son-in-law.
Therefore, no matter whether Madam Zhao stayed peacefully in her hometown of Guangning as in the original novel, or proposed to go to Beijing, she was destined to have no good result.
"So you're going to the capital to avenge your mother?"
"yes."
A Bao's eyes were filled with hatred: "Dad was afraid that I would go out and tell others, so he asked grandpa and grandma to lock me in the cellar and tell others that I was sick and could infect others..."
"I don't know how long I was locked up in the cellar. A year ago, I escaped while my grandparents were away. I begged all the way to get here..."
As she spoke, she looked at Su Li with tears in her eyes: "Madam Pei, this place should not be far from the capital, right?"
Su Li patted his head and sighed inwardly: "It's not far. We will take a carriage and will be in the capital soon..."
In the original novel, Po also begged along the way and walked for three years before he finally reached the capital. It was only after he met the original heroine that he was brought into the capital...
All in all, he has been walking alone for a year now. He is so young, yet he has such perseverance.
Su Li didn't know how deep his love for his mother was to be able to do this.
