Chapter 532: Chapter 532, So Wronged (36 more updates)
The heart-rending cries made Xie Zhinuan’s skin crawl as she listened.
She also understood why looking at that bed was so distressing.
Because the resentment of the Jiao family’s daughter was too great, too deep.
Xie Zhinuan left the room, instructed someone to dismantle the bed, wrap it in white cloth, and store it in another room.
She then called for the guards to hurry to the next door, find Jiao’s son, and take him to another place for safekeeping.
Two guards went next door and indeed found a person with disheveled hair and dirt-streaked face, curled up in a corner, gnawing on his toes.
“Jiao Meng!”
The man’s body stiffened and he lifted his eyes to glance at the two guards.
There was a moment of clarity in his gaze, but it quickly faded away.
“…”
The two guards immediately understood that this man had not gone mad.
He refused to leave this place, naturally, for the sake of vengeance.
The two guards didn’t give Jiao Meng much time to think. They approached to grab him, but Jiao Meng immediately resisted. His Martial Arts were vicious and ruthless.
But he was no match for the two guards, who quickly subdued him. Just as they were preparing to take him out of the estate, someone came at them with a knife. The guards, skilled in Martial Arts, used lethal moves and struck down the person in an instant, not giving him a chance to alert anyone else.
Upon arriving at a small courtyard, Jiao Meng finally spoke in a deep voice, “What are you planning to do?”
“Nothing much. It’s just that your mother sought out my lady, who, feeling sympathy for your plight, decided to rescue you. That’s all!”
“…” Jiao Meng was silent.
“Anyway, we’ve brought you here; where you go next is up to you. There’s food in this small house, and clothes as well!”
After saying this, the guards went to wash their hands.
Jiao Meng really stank.
He almost made them vomit up their dinner from the night before.
After cleaning themselves up, the two jumped over the wall and left.
After some thought, Jiao Meng immediately found a knife, shaved off his hair, drew water for a bath, burnt all of his filthy clothes and trousers, and then scooped up water to rinse his mouth.
By the well, looking at his reflection in the water, tears dropped one by one into the well.
He bit his hand firmly, not daring to make a sound even as he wept.
“…”
The guards returned to report that the person had been rescued and taken away for safekeeping.
When Jiao Meng’s mother heard the voices, she ran out and stood in a daze for a long time.
“You say, you say he’s not mad?” Jiao’s mother asked in shock.
She then remembered how their family had roamed from place to place. With Jiao Meng’s stubborn and iron-willed nature, he wouldn’t have gone mad just from a blow. Surely he must have been pretending madness to stay alive for the sake of revenge.
“…”
Jiao’s mother slowly knelt down.
She would not return to her old home.
Not for the rest of her life.
Her daughter could rest in peace, her son had been rescued; she would leave vengeance to her son, and devotion would be her duty.
The mother and son each had their own fate.
“Miss, if you trust me, use me as you will from now on, I, Jiao’s mother, will never say no!”
“…”
Xie Zhinuan looked at Jiao’s mother, “Do you know who I am?”
“I know. That day I overheard them saying you are the consort of Prince Han, that you even had a son with Prince Han, so I did everything I could to get here!”
“Cough cough cough!”
Xie Zhinuan choked.
She and Li Hengyi had a son? When did that happen, and why didn’t she know about it?
The two guards were also stunned.
They didn’t know either.
And Xie Yi, he was just picked up.
No one seemed to believe that Xie Yi was found.
Everyone assumed that he was the illegitimate son of Prince Han, born of Xie Zhinuan.
“…”
Xie Zhinuan suddenly felt wronged.
