Chapter 728: 193: Revealing the truth! _5
People only learn to cherish what they have once they lose it.
Old Mrs. Zhao shed tears of regret.
“Furong, can you forgive your mother?” Mrs. Zhao looked at Shangguan Furong.
Shangguan Furong replied, “Mom, what’s done is done. There’s no point dwelling on it. But I can’t let Zhao Shen take care of Ziqing anymore.”
If there was one Lin Fang, there could be a second Lin Fang. It’s safer to raise her child herself.
“I want to go with Mom.” Zhao Ziqing tightly held Shangguan Furong’s hand.
Old Mrs. Zhao sighed. At this point, she had no reason to try to keep Ziqing.
She had brought this upon herself!
Zhao Shen then said, “I admit that I was wrong. Since Ziqing wants to go with you, just take her.”
He could understand Shangguan Furong’s feelings.
Zhao Shen then added, “Can you bring the children back to visit their grandmother from time to time?”
“Of course.” Shangguan Furong nodded.
When leaving, Ni Yang gave Zhao Shen a prescription. “Take this for a month, and Old Mrs. Zhao will recover.”
“Really?” Zhao Shen asked in surprise.
“Yes.” Ni Yang nodded.
“Yangyang, I can’t thank you enough!” Zhao Shen bowed deeply to Ni Yang.
When Shangguan Furong and the children returned to the Shangguan residence, Zhao Zijun and Zhao Ziqing had already fallen asleep after crying their hearts out. Even in sleep, Zhao Ziqing’s brows were still tightly knitted.
Downstairs.
After hearing what had happened, Old Mrs. Shangguan couldn’t help but shed tears of sympathy. “Poor children, poor children! I knew long ago that Lin Fang was no good!”
But Mrs. Shangguan never imagined that Lin Fang could hurt a child.
“Where is Lin Fang now? What is your uncle’s stance?” Shangguan Xi asked.
Shangguan Furong said, “Your uncle was kept in the dark about all of this. Not only did Lin Fang abuse Ziqing, but she also mistreated Ziqing’s grandmother. The police have already taken them away.”
“People like her! I wish we could tear her limb from limb!” Shangguan Xi said, filled with hatred.
Ni Yang handed some potion to Shangguan Furong. “Auntie, this potion has the effect of promoting blood circulation, reducing swelling, and removing scars. Add it to Ziqing’s bathwater at night and let her soak for 15 minutes. Do this for a week, and you’ll see results.”
“Alright.” Shangguan Furong took the potion. “Thank you for everything today, Yangyang.”
If it weren’t for Ni Yang today, who knows how much more suffering Zhao Ziqing would have to endure.
As a mother, every time she thought of this, she felt scared.
“We’re family, no need to thank me.” Ni Yang said softly.
Shangguan Dehui, with a serious look on his face, stood to the side. “Furong, don’t take offense to what I’m about to say. This is all your own doing!”
If it weren’t for Shangguan Furong’s domineering and strong-willed nature, the children wouldn’t have suffered like this!
Shangguan Furong didn’t respond because it was indeed her fault, so she wouldn’t refute it.
Shangguan Dehui continued, “Now that you’ve brought Ziqing back, what does the Zhao family say?” After all, when they divorced, Zhao Ziqing went with Zhao Shen.
Shangguan Furong replied, “He didn’t voice any objections. He just asked me to bring Ziqing and Zijun back to visit often.”
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Shangguan asked, “Furong, do you really see no possibility of reconciliation with Zhao Shen?”
Shangguan Furong shook her head.
Given how things have developed, how could there be any possibilities between her and Zhao Shen?
“What about the children?” Old Mrs. Shangguan continued, “With a step-mother, there’s bound to be a step-father. And with a step-father, there’s bound to be a step-mother. Can you guarantee the children will be treated kindly in your future marriage?”
Shangguan Furong paused momentarily, then said, “Mom, I haven’t given any thought to remarrying.”
“But you will eventually have to consider it.” Old Mrs. Shangguan continued, “Everyone makes mistakes. Furthermore, you both made mistakes here. Give Zhao Shen another chance, for the sake of Zijun and Ziqing.”
The old lady couldn’t bear to see the children suffer again.
It’s really hard for divorced women to find a good man.
If Shangguan Furong were to meet someone unworthy, wouldn’t the children have to suffer again?
While Zhao Shen made mistakes, he had been good to Shangguan Furong. It was Shangguan Furong who didn’t appreciate him.
And, after all, Zhao Shen was their children’s biological father.
“But I can’t get over it,” Shangguan Furong continued, “Who says a divorced woman must remarry? I can take care of my two children by myself, and we can live a good life!”
