Chapter 650: 181: When did you become so close with her?_3
As soon as she finished speaking, Shangguan Furong glared at Zhao Shen, “You go away too! Standing here like a nail! It’s so annoying!”
If it were another man whose wife got hit, he would definitely fight back immediately!
But Zhao Shen, he doesn’t even dare to fart!
“Alright,” Zhao Shen nodded and responded, following old Lady Zhao out of the room.
As the mother and son left the room, Old Lady Zhao sighed, “Shenbao! When will you be able to stand up for yourself?”
“Mom, Furong’s temper is a bit strong, but her heart is kind,” Zhao Shen said, helping Old Lady Zhao down the stairs, “She hasn’t mistreated you, nor did she keep you deprived.”
Old Lady Zhao helplessly shook her head.
Isn’t a bad temper a flaw?
In all of Beijing, which daughter-in-law would arbitrarily command her mother-in-law?
Old Lady Zhao has worked all her life for the Zhao family, only to have to rely on others in the end, and put up with Shangguan Furong’s changing moods every day.
What sort of deal is that?
From the dark, a shadow hid behind the green plants, quietly listening to the mother and son’s conversation.
Old Lady Zhao continued, “Shenbao, isn’t equality between men and women being emphasized now? When can our family have this equality?”
“Mom, let it go,” Zhao Shen said. “It’s fine as it is. Why stir up trouble in the family?”
Old Lady Zhao sighed, “Shenbao, I ache for you! The most important thing between husband and wife is respect. Where else would a husband get punished and slapped by his wife at the drop of a hat? Think about it, Hasn’t Shangguan Furong bullied you enough? I think you should learn from Dehui, if that doesn’t work, seize power with force!”
She didn’t expect Shangguan Furong to be virtuous.
She only wished Shangguan Furong could temper her strong nature, have Zhao Shen suffer less and make their home feel more like a home!
Zhao Shen replied, “Mom, I know you care about me. But Furong is just like that, even her own mother can’t do anything about her. What can I do? It doesn’t matter! That’s how I’ve been living my life anyway.”
Zhao Shen once complained to old Lady Shangguan.
Old Lady Shangguan reprimanded Shangguan Furong, but in the end, it was useless and even led Shangguan Furong to become more unruly!
After that, Zhao Shen didn’t dare to complain easily anymore!
Old Lady Zhao waved her hand, “Forget it, I also didn’t have hope that you could actually resist.”
As mother and son moved further away, the dim street light cast long shadows of the two, and a dark green leaf fell on the ground.
Shangguan Furong sat on the sofa, watching her own face in the mirror.
Dehui was brutal, there was a clear handprint visible on her left cheek.
Just then, the butler walked in from outside, “Madam.”
“What’s the matter?” Shangguan Furong looked up at the butler with annoyance.
The butler swallowed and said, “Comrade Lin Fang is here.”
“Don’t see her!” Shangguan Furong uttered angrily, “Tell her to go home!”
“Alright,” the butler nodded, turned around and walked towards the door.
Lin Fang was carrying a gift, when she saw that the butler had come out, she immediately went up to him, “How is it, Butler Lin, has Madame Zhao agreed to let me in?”
The butler shook his head and regretfully said, “Madam isn’t in a good mood today, you should come back another day.”
“Alright then.” Since Shangguan Furong would not see her, she had to leave.
As she turned to walk away, Lin Fang turned around and asked, “Butler Lin, we both have the surname Lin, maybe a hundred years ago we were from the same family. You know why I came today, do you havany news on this?”
Butler Lin looked back at the room, then to the outside, and in a lowered voice said, “Comrade Lin Fang, I suggest you give up on the Shangguan family. I heard from Madam that the Shangguan family has found an old flame, they have met and are now discussing the wedding date …”
Lin Fang’s heart skipped a beat, she was extremely distressed!
Originally, the position of Shangguan’s matron was hers!
And now it’s been stolen by others!
Fortunately, she now had a new goal in mind.
Lin Fang sighed, “Alright, I understand, thank you.”
After learning this news, Lin Fang with her gifts made her way back.
After the Shangguan Family left, Ni Chenggui helped Ni Cuihua tidy up the dishes in the kitchen.
Ni Chenggui said, “Yangyang’s mother, I think Dehui Shangguan’s family is quite nice. The old lady is kind, and her children are obedient. When do you plan to settle things with him?”
