Chapter 956: Utterly Wronged
"Auntie Tang, Zhizhi is not only your son but also the beloved treasure of our General’s Mansion. You should know that such words must not be spoken carelessly. If they get out, they could ruin Zhizhi. Don’t blame me for not considering our past relationship then," the Old Madam’s eyes narrowed, her tone filled with warning.
Lady Tang felt so bitterly wronged inside!
Situ Zhi was her own son; if it hadn’t been for the Old Madam pressuring her relentlessly, insistent on having Situ Yongjie divorce her, she would have never spoken out this disgraceful side of him as a last resort.
"Your daughter-in-law swears to the heavens, if there’s a single lie in my words, may I be struck by lightning and meet an untimely death." Auntie Tang lifted three fingers, making a poisonous oath to the sky.
Hearing this, the Old Madam felt a sudden jolt in her heart. She had made her stance very clear, yet Auntie Tang still insisted on her claims. It seemed that what she said just now was likely true.
But Situ Zhi was only nine years old, and from a young age, he had been clever and well-behaved. He didn’t seem at all like a murderous Demon Head. The Old Madam felt a blockage in her heart; she attributed all the sins to Auntie Tang, and with a finger pointed at her, she burst into angry scolding, "You wretched woman, my good grandson was taught by you to be this way, you truly are a scourge, bringing calamity to our General’s Mansion."
Auntie Tang was filled with grievance. It was true that she doted on her only son, Situ Zhi, but the Old Madam doted on him even more. Now that something had happened, why was she to blame for everything?
"Mother-in-law, don’t just blame me. Weren’t you also extremely fond of Zhizhi, which led to his willful and unruly nature?" Auntie Tang muttered quietly, head lowered.
