The princess was ordained by Heaven.

Seeing that Zhao Shi had not been burned to ashes by the talisman, Madam Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, he caught his breath again.

Could it be that Zhao is deceiving He?

She didn't know that Zhao was indeed deceiving her, but not in the way she thought.

It must be said that when Zhao is in love, she does have a certain eloquence.

Ms. He was very interested.

But Madame Chiang kept giving her meaningful glances.

Since Zhao was able to help her son cover up the evil deeds he had done, she could hardly be considered a good person.

The Duke of Dingguo's mansion is filled with countless bones. If He Shi really stayed, she would be walking into a pit of fire.

To her surprise, Zhao gently helped He up, saying, "To be honest, I wasn't a good person before, and I did many foolish things. But after meeting you, I realized what a truly good mother should be like."

Madame Chiang Kai-shek pinched herself hard this time.

She wondered if she was dreaming, otherwise how could she have seen the day when Zhao reformed her ways?

"My dear mother, are you really going to bring this bastard back?"

As the man's slightly mocking voice rang out, Ding Kang walked in from outside the door.

It's unclear how long he stood outside the door, but the servant guarding it knelt down and explained guiltily, "Princess Consort, the Grand Prince forbade me to make a sound..."

She wanted to droop her head to the ground; she was so anxious she was almost crying.

Zhao frowned slightly: "It's alright, you can go down now, but stay a little further away."

After the servants left, thanking her profusely, she turned to Ding Kang and said coldly, "Why are you here?"

Ding Kang slowly walked to a spot a little in front of her: "What? Mother can't bear to see her child now that she has a new son?"

Madam Zhao's face darkened: "Is this how you talk to me? This is your brother!"

Ding Kang seemed to have been touched on a sore spot, and his expression suddenly turned gloomy and terrifying: "I don't have a younger brother! Are you my real mother? You actually want to create a bastard child to compete with me?"

His fierce gaze was like a sharp knife, piercing straight into Zhao's heart.

Zhao stared blankly at his frenzied appearance, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity: "Is that what you really think?"

"Is not it?"

"Haven't I done enough for you?"

"I worry about you so much that I can't sleep at night. To pray for you, I climbed to the mountaintop temple, kneeling and kowtowing with every step. I spent my dowry to find a doctor for you. Afraid that you would be bullied, I turned myself into a shrew. Because I was afraid of ignoring you, I forced you to drink bowl after bowl of contraceptive medicine..."

At this point, Zhao abruptly stopped.

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, she suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.

What's the point?

Her child has been able to feign madness for so many years, ignoring her worries and anxieties. So why does she think he will see her hardships?

It seems she really gave birth to an ungrateful child.

This Ding Kang...

They truly don't appreciate their good fortune.

If an ordinary person had a mother like this, they would be laughing in their dreams.

Despite being capable of having children and possessing a legitimate family title to inherit, Zhao Shi resolutely forbade herself from having other children in order to give him complete love.

Zhao was not a good person, but she owed Ding Kang the only thing she did right.

Zhao shook her head in disappointment: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have given birth to you, but it's too late to regret it. I'm only sorry to that little girl you hurt..."

Madame Chiang: ? You even tell people this?

I hope she won't be murdered to silence her today!

She cautiously retreated to a corner, clutching a small vase in her hand.

She withdrew, but not completely, because she still wanted to watch the excitement.

"What is there to apologize for? They were just a bunch of bastards who died at my hands. They should be happy!"

Zhao closed her eyes to hide the pain in them: "You're really hopeless."

Ding Kang sneered, his smile strangely eerie.

For some reason, Zhao's heart skipped a beat.

Then, Ding Kang rushed up to He Shi like a mad dog, reaching out to snatch Gou Danzi from her arms: "It's all your fault, go to hell, go to hell!"

His face was ferocious, like a demon crawling out of hell; even in broad daylight, it sent chills down one's spine.

"What are you doing!" Although she was panicked, He reacted quickly, grabbing Ding Kang's arm and biting and scratching, trying to make him feel pain and let go.

Gou Danzi screamed in fright and burrowed into He Shi's arms, crying.

"You're insane! You beast!" Zhao rushed forward to try and pull him away.

She strained and cried loudly.

She regretted it, she really regretted it. Why did she give birth to him? Why did she help the wicked? She should have strangled him in the first place!

However, the teenager already possessed considerable strength and an indomitable spirit, making it impossible for the two women, who had not done much heavy work, to withstand him.

Ding Kang gripped Gou Danzi's arm tightly, refusing to let go no matter how much the two mothers argued.

When He saw the flash of crimson in his eyes, she suddenly panicked: "No! Don't!"

Ding Kang gave her a smug smile and raised his foot to kick Gou Danzi.

Even if you kill him, he'll still be the heir apparent of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, and no one can take him away from him! No one!

However, a sharp "bang" rang out behind his ear, his head jolted, and he belatedly felt a sharp pain in the back of his head.

He slowly turned his head and saw Madame Chiang raising her hand, with broken porcelain shards mixed with blood scattered on the ground.

Madame Chiang Kai-shek smiled awkwardly: "Quite the brain, huh!"

Oh no, how come he didn't faint?

Zheng Xun couldn't help but burst out laughing.

[Does it sound good? If it sounds good, then it's a good start, haha...]

"Don't speak!" Lord Jiang was so nervous that he blurted out a reprimand.

Zheng Xun was confused, and his inner thoughts subconsciously stopped.

She didn't say anything...

Although I don't know why he was being criticized, I always feel that he is like an angry lioness who has just given birth to cubs. In short, he is "not to be trifled with".

So she endured it.

"Are you looking for death!"

Ding Kang reached out and grabbed at Madam Jiang.

He hugged Gou Danzi tightly, patted his back, and cried out for help, "Help! Someone help me!"

Unfortunately, the servants had all been sent away, and her cries went unanswered.

She gritted her teeth, grabbed her child, and rushed out the door.

Zhao took a deep breath, lifted the hem of her skirt and tucked it into her waistband, then kicked Ding Kang hard.

This was the first time she had performed such a difficult move, but as a mother, she could always unleash unimaginable strength when facing her child.

Especially when the one in front of you is a rebellious son.

With that kick, Ding Kang was sent staggering back several steps.

However, his vitality was exceptionally strong; the sight of blood and injuries only fueled his excitement.

Zhao gave him no chance to react and kicked him three times in a row.

Madame Chiang then took a vase from the corner and, out of the blue, gave it to him.

Finally, Ding Kang collapsed.

Madame Chiang stepped back a little, looking as nervous as a blade of grass swaying in the wind—a very healthy one at that: "Um... I don't need to pay for the things, do I?"
