After Becoming the Villain Mother-in-Law, I Launch My Redemption Arc Chapter 38: Zhao Ting Faked His Death to Leave

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhao Ting faked death to leave

ng Yao laughed, "You’re quite smart, kid."

"Of course." Zhao Dahe boasted.

"Mrs. Lin said, let ng Ruyu get closer to Xiaohua." ng Yao said.

"No way?" Zhao Dahe pointed at Xiaohua, "Are they targeting Xiaohua?"

ng Yao shook her head lightly, "They know my temper, I certainly wouldn’t let Xiaohua go to the ng Family, so I guess, ng Ruyu will use various excuses to co to our house."

The Zhao siblings were sowhat unclear about ng Yao’s aning.

"Maybe they are targeting you instead?" ng Yao pointed at Zhao Dahe.

Zhao Dahe looked incredulous, "Mom, are you joking? ? Why ? I can’t exchange betrothal gifts."

ng Yao also thought of what Mrs. Sun said, ’As for Dahe, since he studies, the family won’t ignore him.’

A year’s gift costs dozens of taels of silver.

So, are they not after Zhao Dahe’s status?

In ancient tis, marriages between cousins were quite normal.

Previously, Zhao Dahe ca in third in the monthly exams, and the whole village was talking about it. Presumably, the ng Family has been inquiring secretly.

They think Zhao Dahe has potential, so they want to act first to get the advantage.

They anticipate ng Yao wouldn’t agree, so they first propose sothing ng Yao would surely refuse. Mrs. Sun plays the bad cop, while ng Cheng and Mrs. Lin play the good cop. Though clumsy and unnatural, they still show their goodwill. This way, even if ng Yao doesn’t appreciate it nor return to the ng Family, they can shalessly send ng Ruyu to the Zhao family.

After all, ng Ruyu is just a child, and what wrong can a child have?

No matter how unhappy ng Yao feels, it’s not right to take it out on her niece, right?

Zhao Dahe paced back and forth anxiously, clenching his teeth, "How could they be like this, how could they be like this? Can they really dream of reaching my level? How do they dream so much?"

ng Yao shrugged, "Yeah, that family, they’re best at dreaming wild dreams."

"What should we do then?" Zhao Dahe asked.

"What do you an what to do?" ng Yao countered, "These are just speculations, decisions should be made once things actually happen, right? You should be aware of the situation."

"Mom, you really don’t intend to reconcile with them, do you?"

"Do I seem like the kind of person who invites trouble for herself when there’s nothing going wrong?" ng Yao chuckled.

"That’s good, that’s good." Zhao Dahe felt relieved.

·

ng Family.

Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Lin were whispering to each other.

"Do you think it’s true?" Mrs. Sun was still a bit skeptical.

"It must be true, my second brother couldn’t mistake soone for Zhao Ting." Mrs. Lin assured.

"Then why hasn’t he reunited with ng Yao?" Mrs. Sun asked.

"Back then Zhao Ting married into the family, surely not willingly, and my second brother said Zhao Ting has soone by his side now." Mrs. Lin said, "Perhaps Zhao Ting faked death to leave at that ti."

"Do you think he will recognize the children?" Mrs. Sun was still a bit worried.

"My second brother has inquired, Zhao Ting hasn’t had children since he left. It’s unlikely he’ll have children now." Mrs. Lin said, "Unless he wants to have no heirs, he’ll surely recognize the kids. We must settle the marriage before he acknowledges the kids. Dahe can study, with Zhao Ting’s support, he’s sure to beco an official. By then, with Ruyu, won’t our family have good days?"

"Then we must help Zhao Ting sohow, he doesn’t like ng Yao, we have to help him send ng Yao away far." Mrs. Sun said.

"Mom, do you honestly an it?" Mrs. Lin couldn’t help asking.

Mrs. Sun gritted her teeth, "She hasn’t listened to since she was little, why wouldn’t I have the heart?"

Zhao Dahe was extrely happy to leave ho this ti as his mom prepared lots of his favorite snacks for him, made by her own hands.

Maybe it’s because of the earrings he bought for his mother that made her happy.

Or maybe it’s because the ng Family targets him, causing his mom to feel guilty.

Anyway, he felt his mom was once again the one who loved him the most.

Once Zhao Dahe left, ng Yao started designing patterns, without choice, the big gains last ti were all contributed to the space, she was only left with a few dozen taels, having no silver makes her uneasy.

Zhao Xiaoshu and Zhao Xiaohua weren’t much interested in the design patterns, so ng Yao allowed them to do as they pleased.

Song Xiu’er was interested, but in this matter, talent is really crucial. Although she’s good with needlework, she has no clue about designing patterns.

Likewise, embroidery isn’t her thing.

ng Yao regretted that her own skill in needlework might be lost.

At night, Zhao Dahe returned.

He returned with Qin Zheng.

Clearly, only three days have passed since they last t, but Qin Zheng had lost a lot of weight, he was dazed and lifeless, the previously splendid clothes now looked faded, emitting a sour odor. His hair bun was ssy, covered with dried grass.

Compared to the previously cheerful chubby boy, he was a different person.

"What happened?" ng Yao helped Zhao Dahe as they brought him inside, and couldn’t help asking.

Zhao Dahe shook his head, "He wouldn’t speak, I don’t know either."

Zhao Dahe told ng Yao, when he returned to the academy, he didn’t see Qin Zheng, and when he asked the teacher, the teacher said he didn’t know, Qin Zheng hadn’t requested any leave.

Worried about Qin Zheng, Zhao Dahe took leave from the teacher and went to the Qin Family to find him.

But the Qin Family’s gate was tightly shut, and he couldn’t get it to open.

Zhao Dahe returned unsuccessfully.

The next day, he went again, and the Qin Family’s gates already had seals stuck on them.

He learned from inquiries that the Qin family mbers had been exiled.

"Then..." ng Yao pointed at Qin Zheng.

If the Qin family has been exiled, why is Qin Zheng still here?

"They say those who ca to arrest the Qin Family were quite reckless, unsure of exactly how many people the Qin Family had, and they were in a hurry." Zhao Dahe explained, "I found him next door to the Qin Family."

Next door to the Qin Family is a deserted courtyard, on the shared wall with the Qin Family is a doghole.

"How did you know he was next door?" ng Yao was surprised.

"I used silver in exchange for information, that person said it seed they hadn’t seen Qin Zheng taken away. With Qin Zheng’s figure, if he was taken, the spectators should surely rember." Zhao Dahe explained, "The person spoke vaguely, so I figured there could be truth to it. As it turned out, he was found in the yard next door. Mom, don’t worry, no one noticed us."

"Zhao Dahe, have you considered that your actions might endanger the whole family’s lives." ng Yao said seriously.

Zhao Dahe nodded, "I thought about it, but... but I can’t bear to ignore him. If I don’t get him out of that yard, he’ll probably starve to death there. Mom, let’s help Qin Zheng."

ng Yao sighed, making her ignore the little chubby’s fate, she couldn’t do it either.

"First, clean him up." ng Yao sighed.

Zhao Dahe sighed with relief, "Okay."

ng Yao found a set of Zhao Dahe’s clothes, and asked Zhao Dajiang to bring hot water, so he could help Zhao Dahe clean Qin Zheng.

While ng Yao was pondering how to settle Qin Zheng, Zhao Dahe’s exclamation ca from the room.
