I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 167 The Death of Zheng Sihan

Zheng Sihan also pretended to be inseparable from her for a while, until Zhao Manman gave birth to her daughter Zheng Fengyi.

Zheng Sihan finally found a legitimate opportunity to get close to his sister-in-law. Under the pretext of taking care of Zhao Manman during her postpartum period, he brought Madam Zhao and Zhao Wanwan to the capital.

After that, Zheng Sihan always found various reasons to get close to Zhao Wanwan, and Zhao Wanwan initially made various excuses to refuse.

But how could Zhao Wanwan possibly outmaneuver Zheng Sihan, that old fox? Before long, the two of them ended up together.

And so, Zhao Wanwan lived in the Duke of Wu's mansion for almost a year.

Neither the Zhao mother nor her daughter noticed anything amiss. From then on, Zheng Sihan always found various excuses to invite his mother-in-law and Zhao Wanwan to stay at the Duke of Wu's mansion for a while.

It wasn't until Zhao Wanwan became pregnant that the Zhao couple found out.

But at this moment, Zhao realized that he had fallen into Zheng Sihan's trap.

Zhao Gang was extremely unwilling to marry his youngest daughter to that beast Zheng Sihan, so he hurriedly found a family for Zhao Wanwan, whose head was one of Zhao Gang's subordinates.

Although Zhao Wanwan was unwilling, Zheng Sihan had not contacted her.

She can wait, but her stomach can't.

Left with no other choice, Zhao Wanwan married the man. After the marriage, somehow, the man took her to the capital.

When they arrived at the Duke of Wu's mansion, they happened to encounter Zheng Sihan taking a concubine.

Including the women bestowed by the late emperor, there were a total of eight ladies who entered the gate that day.

In a fit of anger, Zhao Wanwan went into premature labor. Somehow, Zhao Manman's maid saw this and told Zhao Manman about it.

Zhao Manman was no ordinary younger sister. She then bribed the head maidservant of her mother and learned from her that her younger sister and her man had been having an affair for a long time.

Ever since Zhao Manman learned that her husband had an affair with her younger sister, she no longer had any hope for Zheng Sihan.

At the same time, she also harbored resentment towards her own family.

Doesn't Zheng Sihan like beautiful women? It's no big deal. His sister can forget about replacing him.

After learning that she was pregnant with a son, she cared even less about those things.

Anyway, she's already the Duchess of the State. As long as she has a son to rely on, don't men like women?

Then so be it. The world is never short of beautiful women. When a man has a new favorite, who will remember the old one?

Afterwards, Zhao Manman, citing her pregnancy and inconvenience in serving Zheng Sihan, had her confidante send women to his room.

However, Zheng Sihan was not stupid. He learned by chance that Zhao Wanwan was pregnant with his child and had come to the capital.

He secretly sought out Zhao Manman and learned from the intelligence gathered by his secret guards that Zhao Wanwan had no choice but to marry for the sake of her child.

Zheng Sihan truly loved Zhao Wanwan, and now that he knows the truth, he loves her even more deeply.

He secretly bought a large house for Zhao Wanwan on Baihu Street and had his guards kill the man who was marrying Zhao Wanwan.

After that, he would often go out through the secret passage to meet Zhao Wanwan.

On the same day that Zhao Wanwan gave birth, Zhao Manman also went into labor prematurely and gave birth early.

However, she had a difficult childbirth, and Zheng Sihan originally wanted Zhao Manman to die during childbirth so that he could marry Zhao Wanwan later.

Unfortunately, Zhao Wanwan gave birth before her sister, but died on the spot due to postpartum hemorrhage.

Just as Zheng Sihan was about to make his move, he learned about the matter from the secret guards, right when Zhao Manman had just given birth and fainted.

Zheng Sihan had the guards bring over the child Zhao Wanwan had given birth to, and then switched the two children.

After he switched the children, he took them to the secret room and personally killed the baby. All of this was witnessed by Zheng Lu Nian at a very young age.

Unfortunately, even now, Lady Zhao Manman, wife of the Duke of Wu, still doesn't know that the son she has loved for most of her life is not her biological child.

"You...you...unfilial son!" Zheng Sihan opened his eyes and saw Zheng Lunian's distorted face, and heard these horrifying words.

Zheng Lu Nian leaned closer to him, their eyes meeting, his gaze filled with icy ruthlessness: "Am I a rebellious son? And what about you? You gave your own father, my own grandfather, a slow-acting poison. Am I a rebellious son?"

"Have I ever disobeyed you in my entire life? Have I always done whatever you say? Have I always done whatever you ask me to do?"

"You think he didn't know you drugged Grandpa? Hahaha... he knew everything."

Do you know why he didn't expose you? Because he said he'd rather die at the hands of his own son than at the hands of a stranger.

"Do you know why he said those things? It's because he knows everything you've done."

He said that after he dies, you will definitely give him a grand burial.

You think no one knows what you've done? Not only do I know, but my third brother knows too!

"Hehe, you didn't know, did you? Third Brother is in love with his older sister, Zheng Fengyi."

That bastard child Zheng Fengyi gave birth to is his! Surprising, isn't it? Unexpected, isn't it? Exciting, isn't it?

Upon hearing his words, Zheng Sihan rolled his eyes in anger, blood trickling down the corner of his mouth, and he was unable to speak.

Zheng Fengyi was born to Zhao Manman, and Zheng Lufeng was born to Zhao Wanwan; both were his biological children, Zheng Sihan.

Zheng Lu Nian got tired of squatting, so he simply sat cross-legged in front of him: "The people who rushed to make your dragon robe are still alive. I'm keeping them all on my estate."

At this point, Zheng Lu Nian leaned close to Zheng Si Han's ear and said in a sinister tone, "Do you know why I don't care about the children in my house?"

Because none of them are my offspring, because none of them have the surname Zheng.

This place is empty now. If I had known this day would come, I would have taken more. But I've taken enough over the years to get by.

The Zheng family is probably finished. I can't possibly die with you."

After saying that, he stood up, clapped his hands, and a man in black carried over a man who looked almost exactly like Zheng Lunian.

Zheng Lunian took a dagger out of his boot and stabbed it directly into Zheng Sihan's heart.

He whispered in his ear, "Heh, this is your real son, Zheng Lunian."

“You…” Zheng Sihan stared in disbelief, uttered a single word, then his head lolled to the side and he died.

Zheng Lu Nian wiped the blood splattered on his face and said viciously, "I've wanted to do this for a long time, haha, you tell me, if those people see you, I'm dead."

"What will happen to the Duke of Wu's mansion, hahaha..." He then stabbed Zheng Sihan three more times, finally plunging the dagger into his heart and not pulling it out.

Then he took the dagger out of Zheng Sihan's boot, put it in Zheng Sihan's hand, and stabbed the man several times, but the dagger was not pulled out.

"Hehehe, father and son killing each other, hehe... Very good, that's more like it, otherwise, how would I have survived."

"Mother, I have avenged you. As for the revenge of the more than two hundred members of the Liu family, let Cang Lingyuan avenge you."

"Hehe, it's sure to be exciting!"

After saying that, he kicked Zheng Sihan's corpse again.

"Ha, it's finally over. I'm actually the eldest grandson of the Liu family."

My mother, no, I should say my aunt, actually gave birth to twins, one of whom died at birth.

She's a businesswoman, and she knows all too well what twins mean to you. Do you really think your women can tolerate her and respect her?

The reason your Zheng family married her is simply because you're after the Liu family's vast wealth.

When you harbored murderous intent towards your aunt, she switched my identity with that of your son, Zheng Lunian.

You probably don't know this, but your own son has been raised by the Liu family in the mountains of the countryside.

Aside from my aunt's maid and my own father, no one knew that you and your son were finally reunited.

After saying that, he turned and walked towards another secret passage without looking back.
