Chapter 124 Seeing someone suffering just like her made her happy.
Before Zhao Yining had even left the Marquis's residence, Consort Rong was already sowing discord.
After she's gone, won't Aunt Rong corrupt the child?
Zhao Yining couldn't help but feel a little worried.
She didn't know how to comfort her youngest son, so she just hugged him tightly.
She cannot and will not stay in this home.
Shen Jinzhu, who was standing to the side, smiled and patted Yu Zixi's head.
"No, Aunt Rong is lying to you. You will never have a new mother. Your mother will always be your own mother."
Zhao Yining stared at her in astonishment.
Then she saw Shen Jinzhu wink at her.
Zhao Yining realized what was happening.
With both the old Marquis and his wife deceased, Yu Kangnian must observe mourning for at least four years before he can marry.
By then, the child will have grown up.
If Yu Kangnian wanted to get married, she only needed to secretly spread the word that she had been beaten half to death by Yu Kangnian before they divorced, thus ruining his marriage.
If we delay for a few more years, the children will grow up, and it won't matter if Yu Kangnian remarries.
Having figured this out, she quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes. You won't have another mother. Mother will always love you and your brother."
Hearing this, Yu Zixi finally felt relieved and burst into tears in her mother's arms.
“Your mother has only moved away from the Marquis’s mansion temporarily; she hasn’t left the capital. Your third aunt will take you to visit her later, okay?” Shen Jinzhu comforted her.
Yu Zixi cried so hard that snot was running down his face. He stared blankly at Shen Jinzhu: "Really?"
"When has your third aunt ever lied to you?" Shen Jinzhu smiled slightly.
Yu Zixi tilted her head and thought for a moment.
Maybe not.
My third aunt always kept her word. If she said she would cook something delicious for them, she would cook something delicious for them; if she said she would give them toys, she would give them toys.
"Thank you, Third Aunt," Yu Zixi said solemnly.
Zhao Yining felt heartbroken seeing this, took a handkerchief to wipe away his tears, and carefully washed his face.
I don't know when I'll wash Xi'er's face like this again.
Before long, Zhao Yining's dowry was all packed up.
After all, she had sold a lot of her dowry to support her family when she was in Lingnan, and now she didn't have much left.
Fearing that things might get complicated if she waited too long, she decided to move to the Shen family's house before curfew.
Before leaving, she wanted to see her eldest son one last time.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Rong stopped them.
"Since you no longer want Lie'er and Xi'er, why are you pretending to come see him? Get out of here, you don't deserve to be my mother!"
Zhao Yining glared at her angrily: "Lie'er and Xi'er both came from my belly, why can't you let me see them?"
“Grandmother, you can’t do this. Mother is leaving, you have to let my brother come out to see her one last time.” Yu Zixi pouted, mustering her courage to speak up for her mother.
Although he was very sad, his third aunt said that she would take him to see his mother in a couple of days, so he reluctantly accepted this cruel situation.
"Mother, where are you going? Why are you leaving!" Inside the house, Yu Zilie pounded on the doors and windows.
But Aunt Rong locked the door from the outside.
He can't get out at all.
He had just woken up and didn't know what had happened when he heard his stepmother say that his mother didn't want them anymore.
"Mother, did I say something wrong and upset you? I know I was wrong, it was my fault, I shouldn't have said those things. Mother, please don't abandon me." Yu Zilie wailed.
Hearing his cries, Zhao Yining felt as if her heart had been torn apart. She pushed past Aunt Rong, pressed herself against the door, and cried with her son through the door.
"No. How could your mother abandon you? Your mother had no choice but to leave."
"You must be a good boy and take good care of yourself."
With each word Zhao Yining spoke, tears streamed down her face.
Aunt Rong harbored a great deal of resentment towards her.
She reached out to pull Zhao Yining away, not allowing her to stay any longer: "Didn't the Marquis say that you should leave as soon as you've packed your dowry? How long are you going to wait here? You're no longer Madam Yu the Second, so hurry up and leave."
Upon seeing this scene, Yu Zixi burst into tears again.
The mother and her two children wept uncontrollably.
"Let me out! I want to see my mother! I want to see my mother!" Yu Zilie pounded on the door even more fiercely.
For the first time in his life, he felt so terrified and frightened.
He feared he would never see his mother again.
At this moment, Cui Ruixin arrived.
She smiled slightly: "Second sister-in-law, the Marquis has ordered me to escort you on your way."
Yu Kangping knew that Shen Jinzhu and Zhao Yining had a good relationship, and he was afraid that she would show favoritism and let Zhao Yining take away things that she shouldn't have taken.
He was overwhelmed, having to look after his second son and also entertain the clan elders who came to offer their condolences.
So even though he was reluctant, he still ordered someone to find Cui Ruixin to handle the matter and asked her to send Zhao Yining away.
"Did you hear that? The First Madam said you should leave!" Seeing someone come to her aid, Aunt Rong immediately disregarded her grudge against Cui Ruixin and took sides, wanting to drive Zhao Yining away.
"I can leave, but before I leave, I should at least see Lie'er. After all, he is my own son." Zhao Yining wiped away her tears.
Cui Ruixin said with a forced smile, "The Marquis said that what you agreed on was that you would take the divorce papers, pack your things, and leave the Marquis's mansion. There was no mention that you would stay until you saw Lie'er."
Zhao Yining stood there stunned, never expecting Cui Ruixin to be so vicious.
Just as she was about to plead, she heard a childish voice coming from behind her.
"Just break down the door."
When she looked, she saw that it was Shen Jinzhu who had brought several children.
The one speaking was Yu Ningyao.
"Mother, it's just a door, we can afford to pay for it, right?" Yu Ningyao looked up at her mother.
"Don't even mention one door, even ten doors, Mother can afford to pay for them. What are you standing there for? Listen to Miss, break down the door." Shen Jinzhu gave the order with a smile.
"Yes," the servant she brought replied, and was about to bang on the door.
"Third sister-in-law, this is the second branch of the family, how dare you act so wildly!" Cui Ruixin was instantly furious.
She didn't intend to be so harsh towards her sister-in-law.
But after going through so much, she can't stand seeing anyone doing better than her now.
She feels happy whenever she sees someone suffering as much as she does.
Therefore, she did not want Zhao Yining to see Yu Zilie.
She just wanted to see them separated, but she couldn't see them one last time.
She spread her arms, blocking the servant who was about to pass.
"What are you standing there for? The Third Young Master is locked up. Do you want him to starve to death inside?" Shen Jinzhu ignored her and only gave orders to her own people.
The servant hurriedly bypassed Cui Ruixin and went to the door.
Zhao Yining pulled Yu Zixi away, making way for them, and didn't forget to tell Yu Zilie to make way as well.
Two servants stood up and kicked the door.
There was a loud bang.
The door crashed down.
Yu Zilie ran out, hugged his mother tightly around the waist, and cried.
The mother and her two children embraced and wept, a scene that was truly heartbreaking.
"Shen Jinzhu!" Cui Ruixin's face twisted with anger.
"Are you not taking me, the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, seriously?"
