Chapter 377 Grief
"How painful it must be when the fire burns on your body."
"It was mother who sent people there too late. It was mother who failed to protect you. She didn't discover the true face of that beast sooner, and she pushed you into that fire pit with her own hands."
"Mother shouldn't have advised you then. I shouldn't have hastily found you a beast just to avoid being implicated by the royal family. And I shouldn't have let that beast rise to power by stepping on our Jiang family and gaining the ability to deal with us..."
"It's mother who is sorry for you."
Old Madam Jiang looked at her daughter lying on the bed with tears streaming down her face, and cried uncontrollably!
All the male members of the Jiang family clenched their fists, their eyes filled with anger.
"I shouldn't have let my sister marry that bastard."
"Who would have thought that someone who appeared to be honest and upright would actually collude with a lowly slave to swap the bloodline of my Jiang family, and even kill my sister, harming my Jiang family to such an extent."
No matter how many years have passed, they would still feel hatred towards that beast.
"Lin Jingde! Lin Gaowang! Qiao Jie! Even if these three bastards died a thousand times, it wouldn't relieve the hatred in my heart."
"They should be stripped of all their flesh and thrown into a sea of fire so that they too can experience this pain."
Seeing his biological mother in such pain, Shen Chou felt that being made into a human pig was too cheap for them. He really should grind those three beasts into ashes!!!
Yu Ruyue looked at everyone in the room, their faces filled with anger. Old Madam Jiang had fainted from crying...
She quickly patted the two children in her arms, stood up, and walked to Shen Chou's side, "Husband!"
"How about this, we take her back to the palace and see if the imperial physician has any solution?"
"Oh right! The old lady and the old man are not in good health either. Why not bring them to the palace and take good care of them?"
When Shen Chou heard Yu Ruyue's sweet words, his body, which was trembling with anger, instantly calmed down. He remembered that Ruyue seemed to have a very magical spring. He was seriously injured at that time and almost died. With the help of the spiritual spring, his wounds healed slowly, and even the previous scars became much shallower.
In recent years, he has been drinking spiritual spring water every day, and Yu Ruyue would give him some nourishing medicine from time to time. Not only were all the hidden injuries in his body cured, but he even looked younger than his peers!
If this woman drinks the spiritual spring water back in the palace, it should be able to relieve her pain, and perhaps... she might even be able to speak.
So he nodded and said, "Okay! Just do as Madam says!"
"Liuguang! Have someone send... these three Jiang family members to the palace!"
"Call all the imperial doctors over."
Liuguang immediately agreed and did it quickly!
The other members of the Jiang family came to their senses from their anger and looked at each other.
The Jiang family's women were instantly delighted. If the younger sister-in-law was brought into the palace, wouldn't that mean she would be the Empress Dowager? Then they would be the Empress Dowager's family. But then they started to feel a little uneasy. If only the younger sister-in-law and the two elders of the Jiang family were brought into the palace, what about them?!
From their perspective, they were originally the daughters-in-law of the Marquis's Mansion, and both the daughter and son in the family had a good future. Even if their husbands and parents-in-law favored their younger sister-in-law, it didn't matter as long as it didn't threaten their own interests!
But all this changed when my sister-in-law was carried back dying.
Because of her, the Marquis's Mansion was reduced to common people overnight. They suffered a lot on the road, and the road ahead for the children in the family was in sight.
Moreover, because the sister-in-law is a woman and cannot move, these sisters-in-law have to take turns serving her, and all the good things must be given to this culprit!
When the daughter grows up, she will have to serve her sister-in-law like they do.
They thought they had done their best and that they had done well by not secretly poisoning the source of all evil.
She owes them forever!
But now, my sister-in-law is going to enter the palace to enjoy a peaceful life, and leaving them outside, how can this make sense?
On the way, they had already discussed with their husbands to let their youngest daughters enter the palace to enjoy the good life, and even chose a position for their sons.
This is what they deserve.
Although the Jiang brothers are very good to their sister, they also know that they have been really unfair to their wives and children at home over the years, and they have no objections to this.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Uncle Jiang, so he cleared his throat and forced a smile on his face, "Your Majesty! I wonder how you dealt with those beasts?"
"By the way! How did you find out that I am my sister's son?"
Shen Chou said calmly: "Don't worry! Those three beasts are dead!"
"As for how I discovered this... I accidentally discovered that my former adoptive father would receive silver from people in Kyoto every one or two months!"
"As for me, I've had poor health since I was a child. Others call me a sickly person. Coincidentally, every time my adoptive father gets some silver, I become seriously ill. The illness is extremely painful and torturous, but not fatal."
"Later, I learned that the people in Kyoto not only gave him silver, but also gave him a packet of colorless and odorless poison, just to torture me and make me live a life worse than death..."
"After that, there was chaos... I was framed and nearly lost my life. By chance, I met the Duke of Protectorate. That's how I came all the way to Kyoto, investigated, and found a clue, but by then the Jiang family was no longer in Kyoto!"
Shen Chou's casual words made the Jiang family even more angry. Jiang Erlan cursed in a hoarse voice: "Beast~"
The Jiang family originally thought that this beast had already been vicious enough for swapping their own son and killing their wife, but they hadn't expected him to hate the Jiang family so much, and hate the child so much, not only abandoning him to the village but also forcing people to feed the poor child poison every month to torture him!?
They simply couldn't believe how much suffering this child had gone through to survive and stand before their eyes! ?
The old man of the Jiang family's eyes became hot and tears kept welling up in his eyes. He had clearly suspected Shen Chou's identity at that time and had already asked his son at home, so why didn't he pay more attention to his own daughter?
Whenever he thought about such a young child being insulted, beaten, and even drugged, he felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly, and he felt so painful that he couldn't breathe.
If she had known this earlier, would her daughter have avoided so much suffering? And this poor child would not have become the cruel and ruthless tyrant she is today.
Do not!
So what if he is cruel and ruthless?
The Jiang family prided themselves on being fair and honest officials, worthy of the world and the people, yet in the end, they ended up like this...
It would have been better if I had been ruthless from the beginning, then I wouldn't have let this child suffer so much and become like this...
He opened his mouth, and all the words of comfort in his heart finally turned into one sentence, "My child! You have suffered so much..."
