Chapter 762: On her knees
" Mother," Qiao Sha might be rough while treating everyone but when it came to her elders, she was really careful and respectful. When she saw that her mother was the one who entered her study, she wiped her angry expression off her face and then looked at her mother with a polite expression. " Why are you here?"Madam Qiao limped inside the study as she walked over to the table and pulled a chair to sit down, back when she was general, she was injured by the sword of her enemy causing her to lose half of her leg below her left knee, now all she could use was a prosthetic wooden leg that was brought from a foreign land. It was because of this matter that Qiao Sha had to become general at such a young age and pick up her slack, having spent most of her childhood on the battlefield, Qiao Sha was brutal and her temper was fiery.
Because this was somewhat her fault Madam Qiao had only thought of making it up to her daughter and her husbands but now that the latter was getting more and more reckless, Madam Qiao could no longer turn a blind eye to her actions.
She actually asked her pregnant husband to stand outside as punishment and now that he ran away she had the audacity to get angry at everyone but herself.
" Mother I was just…." Qiao Sha began but Madam Qiao did not give her a chance to say anything, she lifted her left foot and banged it harshly on the wooden floor before snapping in a cold voice, " Silence! Do you think that we don\'t have enough trouble in this family? Your grandmother is getting older by each day, can you imagine how angry she was when she found out that her grandson-in-law ran away with her great-grandchild?"
" The guards are the ones who did not tell me that Jiang Fenhua did not return if they had——" Qiao Sha wanted to fight but she was stunned by the cold gaze with which her mother was looking at her.
" Do you think those guards would have gotten this courage if not for your actions? You ignore Fenhua all the damn time and no one respects him in the house, I told you many times that even if I and your grandmother treat him well, it will not cause much impact as you care for him because now you are the lady of the house! Your treatment towards your husband will relay how important he is for you and that is how the others will treat him as well."
" You want others to respect and care for Jiang Fenhua, then you need to do it first!"
Qiao Sha pursed her lips as she listened to her mother\'s scoldings she did not say anything but the stubborn expression on her face did not change, she stayed silent for a while before lifting her head and then said, " But isn\'t Jiang Fenhua at fault as well? He did not return home at all last night, how can this be done, he is married and he is pregnant as well, him staying somewhere else ——"
" Why do you care?" Madam Qiao laughed as she glared at her daughter she was so angry at this stupid idiot that she did not know what to do to make her daughter understand that she was also in the wrong here, while turning her enemies into a pile of flesh even her brains seemed to have morphed and became a paste of meat and nothing else. " Fenhua had spent the night in an inn before he will be fine."
" But he might not be at the inn——" As soon as Qiao Sha spoke, Madam Qiao raised her brow and nodded in understanding. " I see, looks like Fenhua had befriended someone and you are not happy with that?"
" He made friends with a woman, how can I even——" Qiao Sha trailed off upon seeing the gaze of her mother but did not say anything else and lowered her head she thought that her mother will speak up for her now instead she heard the elderly woman heave a sigh of relief as she nodded, looking rather glad. " If that is the case then I am glad that he is finally thinking about himself."
" What?" Qiao Sha was sure that she misheard her mother but to her surprise, her mother smiled and said, " I was worried that since you were so adamant about kicking him out after he gave birth, Fenhua will take things hard but now that he has someone by his side, I am at ease."
With that she stood up from the chair and then walked out of the study room leaving Qiao Sha to stand behind her with her mouth agape, seeing that even her mother was not on her side, Qiao Sha could not help but ask, " Mother are you not upset that Jiang Fenhua spent the night with some other woman?"
" What can he do when he is pregnant?" Madam Qiao asked as she turned and looked at her daughter who was looking anxious as an ant on a hot pan, her lips curled in a smile. " You only care about that child, right? I am sure Fenhua can hold off until giving birth to that child."
