Chapter 727: 193: Revealing the truth! _4

She was terrified.

Suppressing her inner rage, Shangguan Furong spoke in as gentle a voice as possible: “Ziqing, please speak up. Did she beat you? You don’t have to be scared. Mom is here and I will protect you. Please be honest with me.”

“No, I didn’t!”

Zhao Ziqing carefully glanced at Lin Fang with utmost fear in her eyes. Eventually, she burst into tears, clinging tightly to Shangguan Furong’s neck. “I am scared!”

Ziqing’s terrified confession broke Shangguan Furong’s heart.

It was her fault.

She was the one who allowed her two children to suffer.

“I want to stay with Mum! I don’t want to be with Dad anymore! Aunty Lin Fang is a bad lady! She pinched me and pricked me with this injection! My elder sister is also bad! She snatches my things and calls me a beast!”

As Zhao Ziqing spoke, she loosened her clothes to reveal the bruising on her body and countless needle holes on her arms and back.

The sight was horrifying!

“Ziqing, my poor child! It’s all my fault, I let you suffer!” Shangguan Furong held Zhao Ziqing in a tight embrace.

No wonder Lin Fang prevented her from seeing the kids before…

If only she had located Zhao Shen sooner, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.

Shangguan Furong was consumed by regret and heartache. From the day her daughter was born, she never even had the heart to smack her once, let alone allowed her to be beaten to a pulp by Lin Fang.

“Mum!” cried Zhao Ziqing.

As a father, Zhao Shen could no longer bear it and he grabbed Lin Fang’s hair in anger. “Lin Fang, what have you done! Ziqing is only 8 years old! She’s still a child! How could you do this to her!”

“No! She’s lying about me! They’re framing me together! They want to kick me out! Brother Shen, don’t be fooled, don’t!” Lin Fang implored painfully as she clung onto Zhao Shen’s trousers despite the pain in her scalp.

Shangguan Furong charged forward to grab Lin Fang’s sleeve, pushed her to the ground, and then grabbed her by the throat. “Lin Fang, you inhuman beast! I will kill you!”

One life for another!

“Miss, please calm down,” Ni Yang came over and held Shangguan Furong’s hand. “It’s not worth risking your freedom for her. You still have Zijun and Ziqing to take care of.”

His words immediately sobered her up and she released Lin Fang.

Ni Yang was right.

She was not worth it.

Once Lin Fang was released, she began coughing violently. Shangguan Furong had certainly shown no mercy.

Zhao Shen asked the servants to call the police.

“Brother Shen, forgive me this time. I won’t dare to do it again. I’ll take good care of our mother, please, pardon me!” Lin Fang kneeled on the ground and bowed down in remorse.

If she had known this day would come, she wouldn’t have treated Old Madam Zhao and Zhao Ziqing the way she did.

Lin Fang felt regret.

She was genuinely regretful.

It took her a great struggle to marry into a wealthy family, she didn’t want to go to jail or lose everything.

“Get out!” Zhao Shen kicked Lin Fang away angrily.

Lin Fang crawled over once again, “Brother Shen, Brother Shen, give me one more chance! I know I was wrong, I really recognize my mistake!”

“Dad, please forgive Mum this time.” Chang Yue also kneeled beside Lin Fang.

“I’m not your father!”

The police arrived shortly.

Lin Fang and Chang Yue were arrested for abusing the elderly and a child.

With guilt written all over his face, Zhao Shen looked at Old Madam Zhao: “Mum, I’m sorry, I let you and Ziqing suffer. I’m the one to blame, I brought the wolf into our house! It’s my fault!”

Zhao Shen started slapping himself as he confessed his guilt.

He felt regretful.

He should not have betrayed Shangguan Furong in the first place.

Although Shangguan Furong was a bit domineering, she was never oppressive towards the elderly or children. She had taken very good care of Old Madam Zhao when she was bedridden.

Who would have thought that Lin Fang would treat the elderly this way when she took over?

Every time he thought of the torment that Old Madam Zhao and Zhao Ziqing went through, Zhao Shen could not forgive himself.

Old Madam Zhao tearfully looked at Zhao Shen, “Shenbao, it’s not entirely your fault. I am also to blame. I am suffering the consequences of my own actions. But I’m sorry for what has happened to Ziqing…”

The fact that Lin Fang was able to marry into the Zhao Family so smoothly was also because of her.

She was full of regret.

During the period of being abused by Lin Fang, her thoughts often returned to Shangguan Furong.

Shangguan Furong had been married into the Zhao Family for nineteen years. Although she was somewhat dominant, she never mistreated her. She even took care of her day and night whenever she fell ill.
