The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 726: Chapter 726 Adultery Chapter 726: Chapter 726 Adultery Shu Yu’s hand gripping the teacup suddenly stiffened as he stared at him in astonishment.

Meng Yunzheng did not look away, a mocking smile appearing on his face, “That man, outwardly kind and benevolent, is actually sinister and malicious inside. My mother was merely a commoner’s daughter, quite beautiful from a young age, known as a beauty within ten miles and eight villages.”

Shu Yu thought that Meng Yunzheng was so handsome, his mother surely must have been no less.

“That man accidentally saw my mother once and forcefully took her away. My mother was unwilling, so he went to my maternal grandfather’s house and bought my mother with money. My maternal grandfather’s family wasn’t good, having received the money, they didn’t care whether my mother lived or died. Moreover, that man held a high and powerful position.”

High and powerful?

Shu Yu cautiously asked, “Is he… an official?”

“Yes, currently the Minister of Public Works.”

Shu Yu widened his eyes in shock, damn, he really was an official, so Meng Yunzheng was a son of the government?

Wait, his mother was a commoner’s daughter, and that man was an official, it probably wasn’t possible for her to become his legitimate wife.

“So, your mother became that man’s…”

Before Shu Yu could finish, he heard Meng Yunzheng interrupt, “The ones locked outside.”

The ones locked outside? He forcefully took her back, and didn’t even make her a concubine, let alone a legitimate wife? What a bastard.

Meng Yunzheng sneered, “That man was already married, having married the daughter of his superior, how could he dare to bring other women into his home just six months into his new marriage? He bought a courtyard in a secluded alley in the Inner City to keep my mother and found an old woman to take care of her, visiting her only occasionally.”

“That’s how a year passed, my mother became extremely emaciated, completely drained of spirit, as if waiting for death. It was then, when my mother had become numb, that she discovered she was pregnant.”

“After a year, that man had also become less vigilant towards my mother. My mother wanted to go out for a walk, and he allowed it, but only as far as her parents’ house. My mother equally despised her own family, but preferred to go out rather than stay in that suffocating courtyard. So that day, she went back to the Song Family, accompanied by the old woman.”

“Not long after arriving at the Song Family’s house, she fainted during an argument with her elder brother from the emotional stress. The Song Family, worried about her condition, called a doctor to diagnose her at home, and thus discovered she was two months pregnant.”

“The Song Family was overjoyed, thinking that since she was pregnant, they could get that man to give my mother a status. So when my mother woke up, they hurried her to return and bring the good news to that man.”

“My mother went back, that man thought she would spend the night at the Song Family and had no idea she would return early, thus my mother caught him in an affair.”

Shu Yu furrowed his brow, an affair? “Who?”

“That person is from the palace.”

Shu Yu’s eyes widened sharply, a palace woman?

From what Meng Yunzheng was implying, he absolutely wasn’t referring to a mere palace maid. That only left the possibility of… a concubine or even a princess.

Damn, that man was bold indeed, to be involved with someone from the palace.

Meng Yunzheng sneered again, “Doesn’t it seem absurd? A concubine in the palace with not a low status, and that man, who wasn’t even the Minister of Public Works at the time, having an affair. Anyone, not just my mother, would think they were seeing an illusion upon witnessing it.”

Shu Yu nodded, “Your mother caught them in the act, they won’t let your mother go easily, will they?”
