An hour later, the carriage drove into another courtyard house in Shangcheng.
Hearing that Zhuang Jing had returned, the Zhuang family members, who were already prepared, immediately came out to greet her.
But when they saw that only Zhuang Jing had returned, their expressions all darkened.
“Jing’er, what’s going on? Why didn’t Liangsheng come back with you?” Zhuang Jing’s mother, Zhang Shi1氏, shì: (bound form) family name; surname (as in 王氏 “the Wang clan”) / (bound form) maiden name; née (as in 李王氏 “Mrs. Li, née Wang”) / (bound form) honorific suffix added to the surname or full name of a notable person, esp. historical or scholarly figures., asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Zhuang Jing put on an extremely aggrieved look and then whispered, “Mother, let’s go inside and talk.”
Zhang Shi knew her daughter’s character well, having carefully nurtured her.
Hearing her words, Zhang Shi immediately held her hand and pulled her back to the house to talk.
After arriving inside, Zhang Shi immediately asked, “What’s going on? Where’s Liangsheng?”
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunge immediately threw herself into Zhang Shi’s arms and burst into tears, “Mother, that Shao Liangsheng, he…he’s a eunuch! On our wedding day yesterday, he didn’t even stay in my room that night!”
Hearing this, Zhang Shi’s face was immediately horrified: “What did you say?! Shao Liangsheng is a eunuch?!”
It’s over! This is utterly disastrous!
Has she just pushed her daughter into a fire pit?!
Thinking of this, Zhang Shi couldn’t help but feel grief.
“My poor daughter, it’s all my fault. I didn’t even find out that Shao Liangsheng was no good! No wonder he looks nice, but speaks softly. I thought it was just his scholarly air. I never expected it was because of this!”
Damn the Shao family! Did they trick her Jing’er into becoming a widow?!
No, this matter couldn’t be let go like this!
Seeing Zhang Shi crying so hard, Mu Yunge was not surprised. The Zhuang family had been able to arrange such a marriage for Zhuang Jing because they had done a favor for the Shao family. Now that they heard that their son-in-law was actually no good, it was no wonder that Zhang Shi was heartbroken.
However, Mu Yunge was not optimistic that the Zhuang family would force her to divorce Shao Liangsheng because of this. She was only saying this now to prevent her family from not taking her side if she had a falling out with the Shao family in the future.
So gradually, Mu Yunge stopped crying and said with a distressed expression, “Mother, this matter is between you and me. We must not tell any outsiders, otherwise, the Shao family might turn around and bite us!”
Hearing this, Zhang Shi nodded: “Mother knows what to do. But what can we do now? You and Shao Liangsheng have already gone through the wedding ceremony. If you hadn’t gotten married, I would have done everything I could to break up the marriage!”
She thought that she was seeking a perfect match for her daughter, but she didn’t expect that she was actually pushing her into a dangerous situation!
Knowing Zhang Shi’s regret, Mu Yunge reached out and grabbed her hand, saying sadly, “Mother, now I can only take it one step at a time. Besides, I’ve discovered Shao Liangsheng’s secret. He hates me now. If I remain childless for several years, Shao Liangsheng will definitely put the blame on me!”
After she finished speaking, Mu Yunge began to sob softly again.
“Besides, Shao Liangsheng will definitely not let me go to protect his secret! Even if Jing’er wants to be divorced, Jing’er can only dream about it!”
The words ‘divorced’ instantly made Zhang Shi’s eyes widen in anger.
“He dares?! Bah! Shameless bastard! A scholarly family, huh? Jing’er, don’t worry. If the Shao family dares to speak ill of you, even if I have to sever ties with them, I’ll expose their shameless deeds!”
