C13 Would She be Willing
"So you didn't know!"
Shan Xing had never seen her brother in such a state before. She nervously held her brother's hand, patting on her sister's hand.
"Shan Xing, don't be afraid. I'm here, alive or dead. I'm with you, so no one can take you away."
Shan Xing clenched her fists and nodded vigorously. She believed in her brother. Although she was older than him, she really didn't have much to say in this era.
"I thought there was nothing in this family that you didn't know. You claim to be the head of the family. Don't people only dare to do things after you've decided on it?"
With his neck held high, it was almost like he was provoking them.
"This is how you talk to your father. Is this how your mother teaches you?"
Shan Yongxin was so angry by his son that he didn't notice that he used your mother's name in his own words.
"What does it matter what attitude I take? Since you do not know what happened, you might as well ask this woman, what did she do? "
Shan Yongxin was also made suspicious by his son's tough attitude. If there really was nothing going on, then how could his son be so sure of himself. That year, he already felt that something was amiss.
However, after a thorough investigation, he did not manage to find out what had happened, and with First Madam beside him as his scapegoat, he said that Consort Peng had always been restless. Perhaps she had been unwilling to enter the sect in the first place, but when he finally found an opportunity, he quickly escaped, and only then did he place all his wrongdoings on Consort Peng. However, when he looked at First Madam, whose gaze was filled with hatred, he also felt that something was amiss.
"Tell me, what exactly happened that year?"
Under the gaze of the old master, First Madam's entire body went soft. She knew that when the old master attacked, he would not show the slightest bit of mercy, just like when Consort Peng ran away, he had pushed his father's position to the end, and then the entire family would be chased out of the village, unable to return to the village. But First Madam herself also had some luck, and she felt that no one would know about what she was going to do.
"Master, I really don't know what I should say. I truly do not know when the mother and son ran away."
Hearing First Madam's words, the forest laughed coldly.
"Yeah, how would you know? If you knew we were going to escape, would the three of us be able to?"
Shan Yongxin was very sensitive. He used the word "escape" in the forest and gritted his teeth.
"Lin'er, what exactly happened? Tell me."
Shan Yongxin looked at First Madam with a sinister gaze. He had already guessed a few things in a trance.
After her father had pointed out the truth of the matter, the mountain forest had actually let go of everything. Only her little sister's hand was still tightly clenched.
"I said, as long as you don't have a son, then I'll tell you. Father, you brought mother back, and mother gave birth to me, while mother gave birth to a younger sister. No matter what, my younger sister and I can be considered as members of the Shan family, right?"
Shan Yongxin couldn't even hold back his anger anymore. How could his own son be fake?
"Of course, you are all my children. Of course, you are the blood and flesh of our Shan family."
Shan Yongxin didn't want to answer at first, so he just kept talking. However, when he thought about the reason why his son said that and the fact that he just let his son speak, he gave a proper answer.
"What would you do if someone tried to harm you?"
As he said this, he subconsciously glanced at First Madam, and she immediately flipped over.
"When have I ever hurt you? How have I hurt you? Stop spitting out slander. Lin'er, you really make mother's heart hurt. Mother has raised you for more than two years."
First Madam pointed at the forest with a face full of anger and sadness, but Shan Yongxin had already understood most of it.
"You didn't do anything?"
First Madam now knew that admitting nothing was the best way to fight back. Besides, she had really done nothing.
"I didn't do anything. Even if you were to use family law against me, that's what I said."
Seeing how determined First Madam was, Shan Yongxin was a little unsure. First Madam knew his methods. If First Madam had really done something, she wouldn't be so fearless.
"Yes, she didn't do anything, but before she could, my mother took my sister and me and escaped. If we didn't run away, you can ask her, does she dare to say that she didn't have any thoughts?"
First Madam, of course, did not dare to say anything. She was really afraid that Shan Yongxin would use some method to tell her what she had said all those years ago. First Madam, of course, did not dare to say anything.
I didn't blame her for listening to the wall. Master, when Lin'er said this, I also remember that it was said to me by Pingsun Li in my room back then. It was just a private conversation to vent my anger, but who would have thought that it would be heard by someone else.
First Madam thought that it would be even better if the Master didn't ask her about it. But how could there be such a good thing in this world? Since things have already come to this, it's impossible for it to be abandoned halfway.
"What did you say?"
First Madam bit her lips. Just from this action, Shan Yongxin knew how serious the words were. The two of them must have been husband and wife for almost 20 years. He understood some of her little reactions.
Seeing the lord's posture, First Madam gritted her teeth and said, "Let's get to the bottom of this!"
"At that time, I was bringing Second Young Master with me, but Master always complained that I brought him with me, and he even said that when Eldest Young Master was with me, I was wrong. If I wasn't led back to raise him by Consort Peng, who knows what kind of training he would have had me make, if I can't take him with me, I'll send him to Consort Peng's place to raise him as well, Master must have said that before right?"
Shan Yongxin had indeed said this before, but the Second Young Master at that time had gotten too used to it.
Just like that, he was still unwilling to eat, being chased around the courtyard by his wet nurse. When he thought about the two children in Consort Peng's courtyard, not to mention the fact that they were already old, even Shan Xing was still very young and knew that he was going to walk, eat by herself and sleep by herself, there was no need to worry about it at all. That was the reason why he was raised like a second master when his eldest son was raised by First Madam, but when he came to Consort Peng, he was taught to be obedient at the age of five.
Master, when you said you were going to send Second Young Master over to Consort Peng's place, of course I was scared. I will tell Ping nanny that since I already have Second Young Master, and our family no longer lacks men, then we will find a chance to pick a wrong spot and kill Consort Peng or sell her.
In the end, First Madam didn't dare to continue talking about it. A child's hard work would be gone, there was no need for her to be concerned about it.
It didn't matter if he was there or not, it didn't matter whether he was there or not. The lord didn't care much, and the reason why the lord said that to her was because the second young master was a little spoiled. If she were to compare the two of them, there was no need to say that he liked them, otherwise, why was it that after giving birth to the second young master, the eldest young master had almost never looked at the two children. Even if he had gone, he would only look symbolically at them before turning away and never staying any longer.
"You actually said that? Those two are my children, the blood of our Shan family. You actually didn't take them to be your children, what kind of person am I to you, and what kind of person are you to me? "
Shan Yongxin Li drank it,
"They called you mother. When you agreed, did you ever think that these two were my children? You are my wife, my child, should you not love, should you not take care of, should you not raise and grow up? You actually wanted to kill them both, you truly are a heartless, wicked woman. "
How could First Madam wear such a big hat? If it were to fall on her head, she would be doomed.
"Master, it's an injustice, I am just speaking those words to vent the anger in my heart, how could I not know that these two are your own flesh and blood, the flesh and blood of our Shan family? I was just angry for a moment and said some excessive words. I said them in my own room, but who would have thought that they would be heard.
No one could say for sure that she would have done so when she said that, but after listening to her, Consort Peng's escape was not wrong either. No one would stay in place and wait for death when they knew that someone else wanted to harm them, especially a mother, who would not be in danger with her own child. Shan Yongxin suddenly lost his courage, not knowing whether he should continue to resent Consort Peng, who was forcefully carried into the Count Mansion by him despite her will, little girl.
Shan Yongxin thought back to the first time he saw her, and she wasn't even old yet, and there were two little cicadas on her head. She had an innocent look, but she was quite pretty, with her big eyes twinkling, and she didn't even notice when she was in the room, sitting in that obvious position, until her brother walked to her father's side, she let go of the curtain and let go. At that moment, that small figure appeared in his mind, and he couldn't shake it.
