Chapter 1103 Whose Child?
Faced with such adversity, some people might grit their teeth and work hard in secret, hoping to one day make a name for themselves and amaze everyone.
But such people are ultimately a minority. More often, they develop a dark mentality of inferiority or even resentment, instead of thinking about how to improve themselves, they think about pulling down the radiant person who overshadows them from the altar, making them even worse than themselves.
Wu Yequan was clearly the latter, and Wu Yeming, as a beneficiary of all these things, inevitably fell into Wu Yequan's hatred even though it was not what he wanted.
This resentment was completely unleashed because of Shen Yunniang's appearance.
Feng Tianyu met Ye Wanxi's questioning yet somewhat apprehensive gaze, sighed, and truthfully said, "The two brothers have fallen for the same woman."
Ye Wanxi's hand trembled involuntarily, her expression complicated.
After a long pause, she replied in a muffled voice, "But she likes my brother."
"That's right, the eldest son that Miss Shen likes. The Shen family is a scholarly family. Although there is nothing wrong with their character, they are somewhat proud of scholars and do not want to associate with the money-grubbing merchants. In particular, Miss Shen is the eldest daughter of the Shen family. Several high-ranking officials from the Shen family are her direct relatives and elders, so her status is naturally more noble than that of the other daughters."
"The Shen family had high expectations for Miss Shen and naturally did not want her to marry into the Wu family, so at first the Shen family strongly opposed this relationship. However, Wu Yeming later made a name for himself and even entered a major immortal sect that was unattainable for mortals, and the Shen family's attitude towards this marriage changed all of a sudden."
Ye Wanxi's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but interject, "They got married?"
"Yes, they got married."
"Then my father is..." This young master of the Wu family?
Ye Wanxi didn't ask the question aloud because she noticed the fleeting unease on Feng Tianyu's face. If things were really that simple, Feng Tianyu would never have looked like that.
Ye Wanxi's heart skipped a beat, and she became increasingly worried about her suspicions.
Yes, he is your father.
Feng Tianyu hesitated for a moment, but still chose to say those words.
Unfortunately, if he had said those words earlier, and without sounding so guilty, Ye Wanxi might have believed him. But now…
"Senior Brother, you said you would never lie to me, no matter what."
Feng Tianyu shuddered, and his already uneasy gaze towards Ye Wanxi became even more unfocused.
Ye Wanxi took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "So, what exactly happened?"
"The engagement was approved by both families. Because Wu Yeming had to return to his sect at the time, the two families chose an auspicious day for them to get married as soon as possible. Wu Yequan was unwilling for Miss Shen to marry his brother, so he plotted on their wedding night..."
Ye Wanxi's face turned pale, and she swayed slightly: "So, I am..."
"You're not!" Feng Tianyu stepped forward to support her, his face ashen. "You're not!"
"It's neither this nor that, so whose child am I?" Ye Wanxi was stunned when she asked this question.
So... she still minded.
Whether in her past life or this one, she has been an orphan since she became conscious. Having never met her biological parents, she always thought that she didn't have much expectation or desire for either of these roles.
In her heart, her master was her father, and the dean was her mother.
But only now has she realized that she still cares about those two characters who never actually appeared in her life.
It's not about caring about that vague, never-existent father-son/mother-son relationship, but about wanting to know where they came from and why they were abandoned.
"Yuanyuan..."
"I'm fine. It doesn't matter who they are, their existence won't affect me in the slightest. The people I love most have never been them. I just want to know whose blood flows in my veins, to know the truth that belongs to me. So, you don't need to worry too much, tell me the truth, I can bear it, I can shoulder it. No matter what the truth is, it won't change my stance, my attitude."
Feng Tianyu felt even more heartbroken after hearing her words.
"That night, she had relations with both men at the same time, but she didn't even know it. It wasn't until after the eldest son of the Wu family died that Wu Yequan told her the truth in order to get her."
Shen Yunniang was devastated. Her husband had been killed by her enemy, and the child she thought was her husband's posthumous child might actually be the enemy's child.
That's why she had such conflicting feelings about the child.
On one hand, she hoped that she was the offspring of her and her loved one, and was willing to do anything to protect her. On the other hand, she was also afraid that she was an illegitimate child born from a night of debauchery, constantly reminding herself of her own indecent behavior and her betrayal of her husband.
This contradiction nearly drove her mad, and she ran away. No one knows how she escaped from Wu Yequan's clutches.
All that is known is that after she escaped, she was rescued by Jun Wuduan's cousin.
This uncle fell in love with her at first sight and didn't care that she had been married before and was pregnant with another man's child.
In order to marry her, he even promised to raise the child as his own.
Unfortunately, Shen Yunniang couldn't accept it, so she abandoned the child near the gate of Wu Yequan's sect.
Feng Tianyu could never forget that when Shen Yunniang mentioned this matter, a twisted and crazed smile suddenly appeared on her face, which was extremely similar to Ye Wanxi's.
“I hope she is my and Ming’s child, but she may not be. I don’t know whose blood the other half of her is, nobody knows, including that beast. So I decided to leave the choice to God. I left her near that beast’s mountain gate and wait for someone to pick her up.”
"He would never have imagined that this child is right under his nose, in the closest place to him. When she grows up, he might find out about her. What will he do then? Will he treat her as my and Ming's child and eliminate her completely, or... Hahahaha, you're right, I want him to kill her."
"If she's not dead, it means she's my and Ming's child, and Ming is watching over her from heaven. If she is dead, that's her fate, and it's Wu Yequan's retribution. He killed his own daughter with his own hands; he deserves divine punishment, he deserves to be struck by lightning, he'll never attain enlightenment, and his soul will be scattered to the winds, hahahaha..."
Feng Tianyu was so angry that he almost drew his sword and killed the person in front of him, but in the end he did not do it.
After Shen Yunniang finished speaking, her hair gradually turned white, and she seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant.
It was as if all her vitality had vanished with the news of Ye Wanxi's death.
