Chapter 713: 191: Retribution_3
Shangguan Dehui drove all the way to bring Zhao Ziqing back to the Zhao family.
After what happened last night, Shangguan Dehui couldn’t face his own family. He was afraid of his impulse to hit Zhao Shen and crouched down to tell Ziqing, “Ziqing, you should go in quick, your grandma and father are waiting for you inside.”
Zhao Ziqing’s condition had stabilized a lot, but her eyes were still red. “Uncle, aren’t you coming in?”
Shangguan Dehui shook his head, “Uncle has things to do, but I’ll watch you from here until you go in.”
Zhao Ziqing said, “Goodbye, Uncle.”
Shangguan Dehui watched Zhao Ziqing walk through the grand entrance, and then he drove away.
As soon as Zhao Ziqing entered the house, the butler noticed her, “The young lady is back! Madame, the young lady is back!”
“Butler grandfather.” Zhao Ziqing sniffled.
Madam Zhao was reciting sutras in the Buddha Hall when she heard the butler’s call. She came running out from inside, “Ziqing is back! Where is your brother, Ziqing?”
“Brother is with mom.” Zhao Ziqing answered.
“Is your mother alright?” Madam Zhao asked in surprise.
Zhao Ziqing nodded her head.
Madam Zhao continued, “Where is your mother now?”
“Mom is at the hospital.” Zhao Ziqing replied.
Upon learning that Shangguan Furong was alright, Madam Shangguan sighed in relief, “Amitabha, thanks to the blessing of the Bodhisattva! It’s good that she is alright! Who brought you home?”
“Uncle brought me home.” answered Zhao Ziqing: “Grandma, Brother doesn’t want us anymore! I want Brother!” As she spoke, Zhao Ziqing began to cry.
Madam Zhao was shocked, “Ziqing, what happened?”
Through her sobs, Zhao Ziqing said, “It was Mom, Mom made us choose between her and Dad. I chose Dad, Brother chose Mom, wu wu … I want Brother…”
Madam Zhao’s eyebrows knitted slightly, sensing an ominous premonition.
Zhao Zijun was their legitimate eldest grandson. How could he choose to stay with Shangguan Furong?
This was definitely the doing of Shangguan family.
Otherwise, why had they left Zhao Ziqing behind, and only kept Zhao Zijun?
After all, Zhao Zijun was a boy!
“Ziqing, don’t cry. Your brother will be back. You play around at home first. Grandma is going to make a trip to see your mom.”
“Grandma, are you going to bring Brother back?”
“Yes.” Madam Zhao nodded her head.
She needed to see what was up with Shangguan Furong, while also testing the attitude of the Shangguan family. Zhao Shen couldn’t keep hiding all the time.
Madam Zhao called the driver and made a trip to the hospital.
She also brought along many nutritional supplements.
When knocking at the door, Madam Zhao was very nervous. Yes, the Zhao family had not handled the incident well.
She was an old lady, so the Shangguan family wouldn’t physically harm her, would they?
The one who opened the door was Ni Cuihua.
Madam Zhao smiled, “Aunt.”
Ni Cuihua nodded, “You’re here.”
Carrying her nutritional supplements, Madam Zhao walked in, “Furong, are you okay? You gave me quite a scare last night.”
On seeing Madam Zhao, Shangguan Furong was initially stunned, then she shook her head, “I’m ok now.”
“That’s good to hear.” Madam Zhao turned her gaze to Madam Shangguan, her face full of guilt, “Elder sister, our Zhao family has wronged you…”
As the wrong was not done by Madam Zhao, even if Madam Shangguan was angry, she wouldn’t take it out on her.
“It’s not your Zhao family that did us wrong. It’s Furong who you’ve wronged. Yes, Furong could be a bit impulsive, but without Zhao Shen’s indulgence over the years, could she have turned out this way? From the time of the incident last night to now, not a single person from your Zhao family has come over, not even a phone call. Doesn’t human life mean anything to you? Furong might not be perfect, but she gave birth to two children for your Zhao family!”
Madam Shangguan’s words were both factually and morally sound, so Madam Zhao found it difficult to refute, “You’re right, we didn’t handle this incident appropriately.”
Ni Cuihua brought over a chair, “Please sit.”
“Thank you, Aunt.” Madam Zhao sat down as instructed.
Soon, Ni Yang came in with Zhao Zijun.
Seeing Madam Zhao, Zhao Zijun ran over excitedly, “Grandma!”
“Zijun!” Madam Zhao patted Zhao Zijun’s head, and asked with a smile, “Zijun, why didn’t you come home with your sister?”
Zhao Zijun shook his head, “I want to stay and accompany Mom.”
Madam Zhao was stunned.
She hadn’t expected that Zhao Zijun would voluntarily stay with Shangguan Furong.
