After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 455 - 323 She is a Female Hero (Request for Monthly Tickets)_3

The commotion on the second wife’s side had barely ended when the same began on the eldest wife’s side.

With a single command of "Kneel" from Madam Feng, Liang Chen’s mother, Liang Chen hurriedly dropped to his knees, followed by Su Xinger!

"Since Taiping was born, she spent most of her time with me. I have no daughter; you know what she means to me!

"When your father died back then, it took half of my life with him. Her tragic end equals taking the other half of my life!

"You’ve known for so long the cause of her death, knowing full well Xu Yin is the murderer, yet you hid it from me!

"Not only that, under the guise of investigating the case, you even deceived me and your aunt into living elsewhere!

"What were you thinking?!

"From the time she was in infancy, during those eight years she lived by my side, through her most naïve and innocent years to when she grew lively and even practiced martial arts, she was constantly by my side in those crucial years!

"And now I don’t deserve to know the truth?

"And your second aunt as well, when Taiping went to the Northwest at eight, until your second uncle’s sacrifice, she raised your aunt like a daughter for five full years, doesn’t she also deserve to know?!

"You two bastards!"

Madam Feng, just having passed her forty-fifth birthday, comes from a scholarly family. Unlike Old Mrs. Cao who remains slim, she is usually gentle and composed, rarely ever has she been so enraged. Now, slamming the table, the authority of the General’s wife and the heartache of seven years resurface without restraint!

How dare Liang Chen make a sound?

He could only keep silent as he and Liang Zhi, knelt beside him, accepted their punishment without a word.

Afraid the elders might harm themselves with rage, Su Xinger hastily tried to mediate: "At the time, my husband was in the Northwest, commanding the troops, and my brother-in-law was busy gathering provisions, often not in the capital. It was not intentional negligence.

"Instead, it was I, the one managing the General’s Mansion at the time, who failed to recognize Xu Yin’s villainy, causing my little aunt to be wronged in her grave. A crime deserving ten thousand deaths!

"Daughter-in-law is willing to accept punishment!"

Back then, the men of the Liang Family were either dead or deployed, and Madam Feng and Old Mrs. Cao were burdened by the grief of losing their husbands, with one terrible news after another. Su Xinger shouldered all the family’s affairs inside and out! And she had to care for the less than one-year-old Liang Xuan!...

Thinking of this, how could the two ladies bear to blame her?

With tears in their eyes for a moment, Madam Feng reached out and pulled Su Xinger up: "You’ve suffered too; why should you cover for them?"

Upon saying this, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law trio cried together.

Witnessing this, Liang Chen and his brother dared not speak, only kneeling there obediently until their tears subsided.

Finally, as they stopped sobbing, Liang Chen dared to raise his head, cautiously saying, "Mother, Second Aunt, you don’t need to be entirely heartbroken. I have good news."

"You shut up!" Madam Feng snapped at him, "I don’t blame you for not being home at the time, but just for knowing the truth and hiding it from us, I must punish you!

"Someone! Bring the whip! Second Brother’s wife, you’re to wield it personally!"

"Don’t be angry, Mother!" Liang Zhi rushed forward in a panic, "My brother isn’t wrong, there’s really good news! My little aunt, she’s still alive!"

"You’re infuriating me to death!" Old Mrs. Cao, gritting her teeth, pointed at him and took off her shoe to hit him: "Still spouting nonsense here! I’ll beat you first before anything else!"

Liang Zhi, though over twenty and robust, reached out and caught Old Mrs. Cao’s wrist: "Let’s get through these days first! Within half a month, my brother and I will bring her to see you both! If we fail, you could break my leg without a word of complaint!"

Upon hearing this, the two sisters-in-law exchanged a bewildered glance and then looked toward Su Xinger: "Girl, you explain what’s happening? We trust you!"

Su Xinger nodded emphatically: "It’s true!"

This time, the two sisters-in-law couldn’t sit still, each standing up faster than the other: "Where is she? Why half a month?"

Su Xinger glanced at the two brothers beside her and said: "The palace is in chaos at the moment, and the two of them haven’t slept well for days. Why not manage court affairs first? Please calm down, Mother and Aunt."

Both old ladies are people of deep understanding. With a gentle reminder, their minds widened immediately: "That’s true! It’s been seven years, another half month won’t matter. If Taiping truly lives, then, then..."

Madam Feng, too excited to speak.

It was still Old Mrs. Cao who showed determination: "They need not be brought back just yet! They can attend to their official duties! But girl Xinger, you must recount the story of your little aunt being alive, leaving no detail unsaid!"
