You scumbag husband left me to a beggar? I am reborn to kill madness

Having said this, Grandma Tan looked away.

After so many years, she was bloodily opening up those heavy and painful past events again, and her eyes were already red from crying.

She looked at Zheng Zhien with tearful eyes, only to realize that Zheng Zhien's eyes had turned red at some point.

She was stunned for a moment, then slowly slid down from the stool and knelt down.

"This is all my past. I don't expect you to forgive me. After all, it was my useless mother who failed to protect you and made you go through so much torture at a young age..."

She looked at Zheng Zhien's short appearance, heartbroken and choked with sobs, "I don't know what you went through at the hands of the Imperial Master's wife. I don't know how you survived after being 'died' in infancy. I don't know why you did it later." It will become like this due to poisoning, I..."

She closed her eyes and cried, "I don't know anything. I'm not a good mother. I apologize to you. It's me who's sorry for you. It's me who didn't protect you. I apologize to you -"

After saying that, she was about to kowtow to Zheng Zhien.

Zheng Zhien shed tears. The tears blurred his vision, but they could not blind his heart.

As a son of man, how could he let his miserable mother kneel down and kowtow to him?

What happened back then, this suffering mother was also a victim, wasn't she?

How could he let his mother, who had done nothing wrong, kowtow to him and apologize?

Zheng Zhien shed tears, quickly jumped off the stool and came to Grandma Tan, knelt down with a plop, stretched out his arms and hugged Grandma Tan.

"No! Don't kowtow!"

He hugged Grandma Tan tightly, wanting to comfort this ill-fated mother.

However, the unfamiliar feeling made him not know how to speak.

He only knew that the hatred in his heart suddenly disappeared when his mother cried and knelt down to apologize.

He originally thought that he was abandoned by his parents, but now he knows that his mother did not abandon him, he was just snatched away by bad people and abandoned by bad people.

His biological mother loved him.

Maybe, even his biological father loved him, but that hateful Imperial Master's wife didn't want to raise him, so she killed him and threw him in a mass grave.

Fortunately, God has eyes!

Fortunately, he is lucky!

Not only did he survive the mass graves, he also survived at the hands of the evil master. He survived tenaciously until now, and finally could see his biological mother and listen to her tell him the truth.

With tears in his eyes, he looked sideways at his mother.

He thought about yesterday.

Yesterday, this poor mother brought rice dumplings made with rice wine to test him. He thought he was a person with evil intentions, and he had already had murderous intentions at that time...

If it weren't for Jing Feiyuan's status as regent princess, he might have killed this person and dumped his body in a mass grave...

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhien suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart.

The pain was so painful that his head swelled.

At the moment when his head was the most painful, he vaguely saw the image of himself stabbing the sharp knife into the old man's heart with a cold face...

He shook his head.

The picture in his mind disappeared without a trace, as if it was just a phantom of his own imagination.

Zheng Zhien clenched his fists and pursed his lips.

He must have been frightened and thought of the scene of his own murder. This old man was right in front of him at this moment. How could he kill this old man?

It can't be that he killed this old man in his previous life, right?

Zheng Zhien shook his head to clear the thoughts from his mind.

He looked at his mother, opened his mouth several times, and then said slowly, "Shall we get up and talk?"

Aunt Tan looked at Zheng Zhien with tears in her eyes.

She wanted to kneel a little longer, she wanted to beg the child for forgiveness.

But when the words came to her lips, she suddenly realized that by kneeling down and begging for forgiveness, wasn't she forcing the child to agree to forgive her?

She eventually swallowed all the words.

She held Zheng Zhien's arm tightly and stood up together with Zheng Zhien.

After standing up, the first thing she did was to bend down and pat the dust off Zheng Zhien's knees. She looked so cautiously, as if she was protecting her treasure.

Zheng Zhien froze and looked down silently.

Having never been treated kindly and valued by others, he felt that this move was a bit awkward, but also a bit warm in an indescribable way.

So, is this what it feels like to have a mother?

Just when he thought of this, Granny Tan, who had finished dusting him, straightened up and gently touched his hair.

The force was so light, it was like a feather gently falling on the hair.

He was stunned and suddenly looked up at Granny Tan.

Grandma Tan panicked when he saw her. She stiffly retracted her fingers and said helplessly, "I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to touch you..."

She pursed her lips and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Zheng Zhien stared at her steadily.

After a few breaths, Zheng Zhien turned to look to the side and whispered, "It's okay, just sit down."

Grandma Tan breathed a sigh of relief.

She sat down, took the stool next to her and put it in front of her, patted the stool gently and said, "Sit down too."

Zheng Zhien sat down awkwardly.

He looked down at the knees where he and Grandma Tan were touching. After a few moments of silence, he said, "How is your son from the country doing now?"

Grandma Tan pursed her lips.

After a while, she whispered, "That child has not had a good life these years. In order to deceive others, the wife of the Imperial Preceptor told others that the child in my belly was the offspring of my stepfather. Later, the child was killed by the imperial family. The teacher's wife gave it to me, so the child naturally became the evil offspring that I was forced to give birth to by my stepfather - with such a bad and shameful status, he was reviled in the village, how could he live a good life? He has felt that he is inferior to others since he was a child. He cannot straighten his spine or hold his head up. No one wants to talk to him and anyone can bully him."

After a pause, she said with difficulty, "Actually, I went to the countryside where no one knew me. I could have made up an origin for the child, saying that his father died in an accident, so that he could straighten his spine and be a good man. But I hate the Imperial Master’s wife, I really hate her so much!”

She clenched her fingers and said bitterly, "Since the Imperial Master's wife insisted on shouting to everyone in the house that I was pregnant with my stepfather's evil seed, since she insisted on putting me in such a dirty and shameful situation. , then, I will let the child she gave birth to with all her life bear the consequences for her!"

Zheng Zhien looked at Nanny Tan blankly.

He thought he was pitiful, but if he thought about it from his perspective, how could the child born to the Imperial Master's wife not be pitiful?

I grew up in the village with the stigma of "adult child". I was scolded by adults and bullied by children all day long. I couldn't hold my head up wherever I went, and I was inferior to others in everything I did. Isn't it pitiful to live like this?

In particular, the old man in front of her said that she left the village after the Imperial Master's Office was raided and executed, and she has been working in the Jing family since then and has never returned. In other words, the child was left alone at a young age. , the child also lost the protection of his mother, and could only struggle to survive alone in the village.
