Chapter 1006: Exposed
Since that was so, why did the elderly lady say that she wanted to talk to her in person?
Wei Ziqin wanted to pull a face and leave on the spot.
But in consideration that these would probably be the elderly lady’s last words, she forcefully swallowed her anger.
She instead went up and curtsied towards the elderly lady before saying insipidly, “What does Elderly Lady have to say. This daughter-in-law still has many matters to take care of at home.”
“You, you!” Elderly Lady pointed at Wei Ziqin in wrath and shouted, “You think I really don’t know? Qiao Mu! Qiao Mu isn’t my blood-related granddaughter at all!”
Wei Ziqin abruptly raised her head, staring with wide eyes at the scrawny elderly lady on the bed.
“You unvirtuous woman. What kind of methods did you use to beguile my son!”
“My son originally had a promising future. The main family had recognized his worth when he was still young, and he had even joined the Daybreak Sect. If he didn’t get stabbed in the back later on, he wouldn’t have returned to the village and married a lowborn woman like you!”
“You merely have the lot of a maidservant!” Elderly Lady beat the bed furiously. “You even deceived our Zhongbang and cheated on him! Who knows how you got pregnant with this bastard!”
“You shut up!” Wei Ziqin shouted angrily.
As this small courtyard wasn’t soundproof, the people outside could hear their shouts clearly.
Luckily, only Mother Xu was standing inside this small courtyard, and she had long retreated out the door with a drastically changed expression.
Qiao Zhongbang hastily pushed open the door and entered. “Ziqin, what’s wrong? Mom, what is going on?”
He quickly closed the door behind him before running to his wife. As he looked at the elderly lady’s trembling body, he heaved a long sigh and lamented, “Mom, what are you saying? Ziqin has been filial to you for so many years. Don’t you know by now what kind of daughter-in-law she is? By doing this, you not only bitterly disappoint Ziqin, but you also bitterly disappoint me.”
“Zhongbang, you’re the one who is bad at judging people!” Elderly Lady continued beating the bed as she screeched with a tearful racket, “For a bastard, you drove your blood-related brother and nephew to the Northwestern Desert. Do you even still have a conscience?”
“Mom! Zhongheng and his wife mistreated you into this state, emaciated and on the verge of death, yet you still think well of them. But whatever we two do, you don’t like it, is that it?” Qiao Zhongbang asked sullenly.
“I don’t care! Xiao Long is my blood-related grandson, so I don’t care what methods you use—whether it be begging or kneeling—but you must make His Highness the Crown Prince give the word for our Xiao Long to come back.” Elderly Lady roared loudly while coughing incessantly, “I, your mom, am about to die, yet you can’t fulfill this simple wish? Besides, what virtues and abilities does Qiao Mu, that bastard, possess to claim the position of crown prince consort?”
“Shut up!” Qiao Zhongbang also yelled, “That is my daughter! Mom, You’ve disappointed this son bitterly.”
Wei Ziqin’s face was also flushed in indignation as her eyes were brimming with tears, and she clenched her fists while silently repressing her emotions.
“You, you both! You unfilial son and daughter-in-law!” Elderly Lady spurted out a mouthful of blood, and she pointed at Qiao Zhongbang while berating, “You blockhead! Your wife had given birth to a daughter with someone else behind your back! If you don’t want anyone to know, don’t do it in the first place! Qiao Mu isn’t related to you by blood at all!”
“I know!” Qiao Zhongbang’s shout instantly made Elderly Lady clam up.
Elderly Lady’s face was full of disbelief, as if she was completely unable to comprehend his actions.
