Chapter 125 must have witnessed something major.
"I'm so sorry, sister-in-law, I was just trying to save lives. Don't worry, I'll pay for the repairs myself," Shen Jinzhu said earnestly, her expression sincere.
But what she did infuriated Cui Ruixin and Aunt Rong.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yining knew she couldn't stay any longer.
Jinzhu had helped her a lot, so she couldn't cause her any more trouble.
"Lie'er, take good care of your little brother. Mother will always love you both." Zhao Yining hugged the two children tightly, then let go.
"I am leaving."
Zhao Yining took a deep breath, turned around and left.
"Mother, don't go, I don't want you to go." Yu Zilie, who was usually sensible, cried her heart out.
He wanted to chase after her, but Aunt Rong grabbed him and wouldn't let him go any further.
"Your mother doesn't want you anymore, why are you still chasing after her?"
Zhao Yining turned around and roared, "It's not that I don't want them, it's that you forced me to give them up, you wanted to kill me. You are the ones who have wronged the children the most!"
After saying that, she covered her eyes to stop the tears from falling and quickly left.
She was afraid that if she hesitated any longer, she would regret not being able to leave.
The children from the third branch were somewhat scared and confused.
Will their mother suddenly leave them too?
They all surrounded Shen Jinzhu.
"Go and comfort Lie'er and Xi'er. With you by their side, they should feel better," Shen Jinzhu said, looking at the children.
"Okay." Yu Ziheng hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement.
He couldn't help but ask, "Mother, you're not leaving, are you?"
"Silly boy. Mother will always be with you, until you get married and have children, and never want to see your mother again." Shen Jinzhu smiled and patted his head.
"I don't want to miss seeing my mother," Yu Ziheng muttered.
She led her two younger brothers over to comfort Yu Zilie and Yu Zixi.
He's the second oldest, so he has to take good care of his younger brothers.
The third and seventh brothers are pitiful because they don't have their mother by their side.
The reason why Aunt Rong was able to stop Zhao Yining was because Zhao Yining no longer had any connection with the Marquis's mansion.
But she didn't dare stop Yu Ziheng and the others.
The only option was to let the brothers take Yu Zilie and Yu Zixi away.
Cui Ruixin looked at Shen Jinzhu with a cold smile.
"Third sister-in-law, you have quite the airs. Why don't we just let you be the mistress of this Marquis's mansion?"
She was so angry she was about to explode.
The Marquis had finally given her a chance to do things and restore the madam's prestige, but it was disrupted by the sudden appearance of Shen Jinzhu.
"Sister-in-law, watch your words!" Shen Jinzhu replied sternly.
"You want me to be the mistress of the Marquis's mansion? What about my elder brother and husband? Are you trying to sow discord between the eldest and third branches of the family? Or are you simply trying to ruin my reputation?"
Cui Ruixin was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.
She didn't expect that Shen Jinzhu's ability to roast people had become even more impressive after not seeing her for a while.
Yu Ningyao stared at Xia Ying beside her, feeling somewhat puzzled.
In the past, Qiu Chan and Dong He were always standing next to Cui Ruixin.
After Qiu Chan became lame, Xia Ying and Dong He were the only two people who stayed with her, and Dong He was more favored by Cui Ruixin.
Why didn't I see Donghe today?
Could Cui Ruixin have sent her to do something bad?
Yu Ningyao was startled as she thought of Zhao Yining, who had just left.
She wouldn't send Donghe to do anything to Zhao Yining, would she?
[System, system, check quickly! Where did Donghe go?]
The system provided an answer quickly.
Winter Crane is dead.
what?
How could Donghe have died?
Yu Ningyao looked completely bewildered.
How come she didn't hear a word about something so big?
[He was murdered by someone hired by Cui Ruixin.]
The system revealed that Cui Ruixin had instructed the Li mother and son to kill Donghe.
Yu Kangping was afraid that if this matter got out, people would be in a panic, after all, too many people had died recently.
He then immediately suppressed it.
The news of Donghe's death didn't even escape the main house's courtyard.
Yu Ningyao gasped.
Cui Ruixin is truly ruthless.
How many lives have been taken on his hands?
She did this through several roundabout methods, and Yu Ningyao couldn't find any evidence to report her for the time being.
She could only hope that her parents' talk of separating the family property would come to fruition soon.
……
Yu Kangnian regretted signing the divorce papers the very next day.
He wanted to leave the mansion to find Zhao Yining, but Yu Kangping didn't give him the chance at all, and had Yu Kangjing keep a close eye on him.
Because his parents have passed away, he cannot drink alcohol and has no chance to drown his sorrows in alcohol.
His emotions became increasingly unstable.
With Zhao Yining gone, Aunt Rong became his outlet for venting his frustrations.
"Why didn't you stop her? Why did you make me sign a divorce papers?" He kicked Aunt Rong to the ground.
Aunt Rong lay on the ground, too pained to speak.
"Speak up! Why! Are you really my mother? Why did you break up my wife and children?" He grabbed Aunt Rong's hair, his eyes bloodshot.
“It wasn’t me…” Aunt Rong choked back tears as she defended herself.
She deeply regretted it; if only she had told the old Marquis she wanted to go back to the estate after he left.
She shouldn't have stayed in the Marquis's mansion for the sake of some kind of family bliss.
The suffering she has endured these past few days is something she never experienced in her previous life.
"If it wasn't you, then who was it? It was clearly you, my eldest brother, and the third brother who forced me to sign that day." Yu Kangnian had now completely let loose.
Anyway, everyone in the Marquis's mansion knew that he had hit someone.
He wants to fight now, to fight fair and square.
In any case, for the sake of the Marquis's reputation, they dared not say anything reckless.
He grabbed Aunt Rong's head and slammed it against the ground.
Aunt Rong was terrified and tried to struggle, but he beat her even more severely.
……
"Brother, will Father agree to let us see Mother?" Yu Zixi asked, holding her brother's hand with some worry.
"Don't tell him we're going to see Mother. Just say Auntie took us out to play," Yu Zilie comforted his younger brother.
"Oh." Yu Zixi nodded thoughtfully.
The two walked hand in hand into Aunt Rong's courtyard.
Because the servants said that Father was here.
As they approached the house, they heard a crashing sound and Aunt Rong's crying.
The two of them instantly got goosebumps all over their bodies.
Curious, they approached and, through the slightly ajar door, witnessed a scene they would never forget.
The father actually broke Aunt Rong's finger.
Both of them were completely stunned.
They finally understood why their mother had to leave.
"Don't make a sound."
Noticing that his younger brother was about to cry, Yu Zilie covered his mouth.
He carefully led his younger brother away, afraid that if their father found out, he would beat them.
After leaving the courtyard, the two of them didn't dare to stop for a moment, and they didn't even dare to go back to their own bedroom.
The two held hands and ran quickly towards the courtyard of the third house.
The two only felt relieved after arriving at Shen Jinzhu's house.
"Waaaaah, Third Aunt, I'm scared." Yu Zixi threw herself into Shen Jinzhu's arms and burst into tears.
After Zhao Yining left, he regarded Shen Jinzhu as his closest person.
When something happens, he likes to run to the third house.
Yu Zilie, standing to the side, also clenched his fists, as if he was trying to hold back something.
Upon closer inspection, his body was trembling, clearly indicating that he was quite frightened.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Shen Jinzhu gently patted his back to comfort him.
She had a feeling that something big must have happened.
Otherwise, the two children wouldn't have shown such panicked expressions.
