I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

Mu Shaoheng couldn't accept it. How could the mastermind behind the poisoning of his beloved wife be his own mother?

How could it be the old lady?

Mu Shaoheng was almost going crazy!

Simply smashing a teacup was not enough to vent his inner devastation!

The next moment, Mu Shaoheng ran to the old lady's yard at almost the speed of a 100-meter sprint - to demand accountability.

As a result, just as he approached the gate, he heard the sound of smashing things inside, accompanied by the old lady's angry curse:

"...Mu Shaoheng, you are an ungrateful bastard. You are truly an ungrateful bastard. I have raised you for more than thirty years, but you have become estranged from me just for a woman!"

"You'll be gone for two or three days and I won't see you coming back!"

"Mu Shaoheng, come back here, come back here!"

"Get back here—"

The old lady was really so angry that she almost died. She was still waiting to exchange conditions with Mu Shaoheng - using her "life experience" to threaten Mu Shaoheng in exchange for a series of benefits.

For example, finding a wife for Shen Yixiao, or obtaining a series of benefits for herself.

As a result, Fu Yusu just fainted in the snow, and Mu Shaoheng never came back. Two or three days passed, and he never came back to pay attention to her!

Mu Shaoheng still has this old woman in his heart?

what?

Not even a single bit!

The old lady was smashing things, slamming the table, and cursing one sentence after another.

Mu Shaoheng stood outside the courtyard gate, listening to the noisy noise inside.

At this moment, he was holding the door with one hand. With agitation, he exerted force with his hand... and instantly crushed the red door frame.

As soon as he let go of his hand, five small holes appeared on the door frame.

Mu Shaoheng had a cold face. He stepped through the gate, crossed the yard, climbed the steps, and came to the door of the main hall.

His eyes were cold, and his gaze was like ice cones, shooting coldly at the old lady who was still roaring in the main room.

Mu Shaoheng's tall figure blocked the door, and the hall suddenly became dark. The old lady belatedly raised her eyes and looked...

The moment she saw Mu Shaoheng's figure, the old lady stopped cursing angrily.

But it was only a brief pause, and the next moment, the old lady said sarcastically:

"Hey, Mu Shaoheng, is your precious princess okay? She finally came to see an old woman like me?"

Hearing this, Mu Shaoheng followed her words and simply revealed: "Mother, Shu'er is pregnant. It's been almost two months."

Old Lady: ???

What, pregnant?

She got pregnant after she moved to the capital?

How can it be?

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then questioned loudly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Fu Yushu must have pretended to be pregnant in order to win your favor and deliberately lied to you!"

The old lady swore solemnly.

What she didn't know was that the words she was so sure of had implicitly acknowledged...that she was really the mastermind behind it.

It's completely a confession.

Faced with this fact, Mu Shaoheng felt a huge pain in his heart.

His fingers holding the door frame trembled slightly. At this moment, he no longer had any illusions about his mother.

But he had to know the real reason why his mother was so cruel to Shu'er.

So, Mu Shaoheng made up a lie and said, "She was really pregnant, but unfortunately, Shu'er was too weak... She couldn't keep the baby and had a miscarriage."

The old lady believed it and immediately sneered in her heart.

Oh, she knew it. How could she still get pregnant after taking sterilization drugs?

Don’t even think about it in this life!

The old lady said with a mean look:

"Son, that Fu Yushu is so delicate and weak, like a sickly person from a book. Mother has long seen that she is unlucky and cannot give birth."

Mu Shaoheng was furious when he heard such vicious words.

He simply said something that would make the old lady sick to death, saying:

"Mother, no matter whether Shu'er can give birth or not, my son will only be with her for the rest of his life. If she really miscarries, then my son will be adopted by my second brother's child as the crown prince."

The second brother’s child?

The second younger brother is a bastard, the only son of the old prince's other concubine, Concubine Liu.

Back then, the old lady's relationship with Concubine Shao was extremely bad, and it wasn't much better with Concubine Liu either, they were still in a life-and-death relationship.

Therefore, Mu Shaoheng's proposal to adopt his second brother's son as the crown prince would undoubtedly make the old lady furious.

The old lady immediately became furious and said:

"Asshole, Fu Yushu can't have children, so you can find another woman to have children."

"There are many young and beautiful girls. Pick one who is strong and fertile. For example, Shen Yixiao's sister Shen Yirou is very suitable!"

"What's the point of keeping a woman who can't have children? Just divorce her and marry Rou'er as your princess!"

Rouer?

The old lady’s niece?

Haha, so the purpose of poisoning Shu'er is to vacate the position of princess so that her niece can take the position?

Mu Shaoheng laughed angrily:

"Mother, your plan is a good one."

"Unfortunately, your son is destined not to live up to your expectations. Because... Shu'er did not have a miscarriage. The imperial physician said that although she was poisoned by Qiang, the fetus in her belly is still... very healthy."

Old Lady: ???

Is the fetus healthy?

How can this be? !

The old lady, who was three beats slower in reaction, took a long time to react...

Wait, what did Mu Shaoheng say just now?

Qiang poison?

Oh no, Mu Shaoheng already knows the name of the sterilization drug. Could it be that he has found out... that she is the mastermind behind this?

Thinking of this, the old lady's heart trembled slightly.

But she only trembled for a moment, and soon the old lady calmed down.

What are you afraid of? Today, she was going to reveal Mu Shaoheng's background in exchange for the conditions she wanted. With such a big handle in hand, what is a mere Qiang poison?

Mu Shaoheng still dares to quarrel with her, is he trying to end up with a lose-lose situation?

He's not that stupid!

With confidence, the old lady's eyes really lit up again, staring at Mu Shaoheng and said:

"My son, I have been thinking about this for several days. It is time to be clear with you about the right and wrong here. Otherwise, you will be born with blessings but don't know how to appreciate them. Day by day... you always want to provoke me!"

After saying that, without giving Mu Shaoheng time to react, the old lady drove all the maids inside and outside the house out of the courtyard.

In an instant, the old lady and Mu Shaoheng were the only ones left in the huge courtyard.

Mu Shaoheng was a very perceptive person. When he saw this situation, he immediately remembered the words that the old lady shouted hysterically on the afternoon when Shu'er fainted two or three days ago.

——"As long as this lady is willing, I can immediately strip you of your status as the head of the family and expel you from the Mu family!"

What is the secret that, once revealed, can deprive him of his position as the head of the family?

Can you still clean up the house?

There seems to be only one answer - that is, he is not a member of the Mu family, but was brought in from outside by the old lady in order to consolidate her position when she was young.

Thinking of this, Mu Shaoheng clenched his fists.

Even though he had guessed it, Mu Shaoheng still wanted to hear the old lady say it herself.

Sure enough, after Mu Shaoheng closed the door and sat down, the first words the old lady uttered in a low voice were:

"Mu Shaoheng, you are not of the bloodline of the Southwest Mu Mansion at all. You are a country kid I bought randomly from the countryside!"
