C219 Old People (1/2)
Hua Rong looked at the sunlight on the west side. It was already late. A guard who was working in the distance ran over and looked at the stranger dressed in scholar's clothes warily, ”Madam … ”This is …”
Jin Wushu didn't even look at him, much less agree.
She smiled. ”An old friend came to see me. ”Go ahead, don't worry.”
The guard thought it strange, but he turned and left.
Hua Rong slowly let go of the child's hand, closed his eyes, and then opened them again, saying: ”If you want to take the child away, then leave immediately. I only hope that your family members can treat him well … …” If he was too late, he wouldn't be able to leave. She actually understood that she should call for her guards to capture him right away, but she just couldn't say a word.
Family.
His gaze suddenly fell upon milkmaid who had stopped ten feet away. milkmaid was originally taking care of other household chores, but now that he had just come out of the house and seen him, she covered her mouth in shock, not wanting to let herself cry out in shock.
Fourth Prince had come looking for him.
Her face was deathly pale. She felt gratitude towards this general of the Great Jinguo, as well as a long period of reverence. Was he here to snatch his son back?
She did not dare to meet Jin Wushu's gaze, so she could only retreat.
When Jin Wushu saw the milkmaid retreating in fear, he was even more furious. Hua Rong, she had actually long known about Ye Lvguanyin's abuse of children, how could the milkmaid not tell her about this?
Now, why do you need to pretend to be kind to a ”family”?
The family – the most shameful word of her life, the memory of being ashamed to speak. Was she mocking him for being afraid of her own family by saying it in such a casual manner? Was he a fool who was being toyed with by a perverted and vicious woman without even knowing it?
He suddenly sneered, ”This crown prince does not have any other family members.”
”Oh?”
He carried his son, and said with an angry, pained, and sharp voice, ”Besides this son, this crown prince has no other close family members. Hua Rong, there's no need for you to mock them. ”
Ridicule, where did this come from?
She said carefully, ”Fourth Prince, you have travelled to the north and fought in war and have not been at home for a long time. Perhaps, the matters of your family may not be so clear to you. Although children are known as your manor's Young Master, your wives may not all like him that much. ”Besides, you're already married, so you'll have your own flesh and blood …”
According to the milkmaid, Ye Lvguanyin was pregnant and at the point of birth, he had already become the mistress of the Fourth Prince Palace.
The three words ”flesh and blood” ignited all the humiliation that Jin Wushu had hidden in his heart, like a bucket of explosives. He ruthlessly brushed his son's hand away and pulled him into his embrace, his face full of hatred.
Hua Rong was shocked, ”Fourth Prince …”
He snapped, ”This is my son. Don't touch him!”
Hua Rong retracted her hand.
”Other than Wenlong Child, I don't have any other flesh and blood. Ye Lvguanyin was indeed born, but she was born into a bastard child of the Chidan … ”He's the bastard who hid it from me …” He seemed to be shouting, ”Hua Rong, are you satisfied now? Didn't you hate me? As you wish, I suffer the greatest humiliation a man can suffer... Hahaha, what a joke, as a great Fourth Prince of Jin Guo, to be humiliated like this … ”
Hua Rong was stunned.
Jin Wushu kept staring at her as if he was staring at his biggest enemy.
After a while, she lowered her eyes and slowly said, ”Actually, I know... When we were in Yanjing, Zha He and I were in the same small shop, and I saw her together with that Chidan soldier … ”
Jin Wushu's eyes turned blood-red, and he almost threw himself at her neck. ”Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me if you knew? ”Why?”
At that time, he hadn't married Ye Lvguanyin yet. If someone told him this, what would happen next?
”Hua Rong, you bad woman, you despicable woman, what did I do to you? You didn't even tell me that you were lying to me like everyone else, waiting to see me make a fool of myself … You're even more detestable than Ye Lvguanyin … ”I thought, at least, you wouldn't lie to me …” He let go of the child, crouched down, and suddenly covered his head with his hands and began to cry bitterly.
Even on the night of the accident, he had never suffered so much. He only knew that he was drunk, that he was in a dream, that he was only escaping, escaping in his numbness. He didn't know why he couldn't bear it anymore.
This was the first time a child saw Abba cry like this. She was so scared that she began to cry as well, ”Abba, Abba …” He was even more heartbroken as he hugged his son. Both father and son were crying bitterly.
