Chapter 12: A strange coincidence
It's already time for dinner.
Did his mother really not care about him anymore?
No, it won't.
You know, he is the one his mother loves the most.
The best proof is that it’s time for dinner but no one has come to bring him food.
His mother had to come and bring him food herself, and naturally would not allow anyone else to do it for him.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhixu laughed fearlessly.
He needed to think carefully about what conditions to propose to his mother later.
Agreeing to let him go to the Ministry of Revenue and return his grandmother's private property was the most basic thing, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to put forward a few more conditions.
How about...
Suddenly he thought of something, and even his eyes became hot.
It's time to bring the mother and son back home.
He wanted to make Xizhi his co-wife, on an equal footing with Su Qingwan, so that Qian'er would be his legitimate son.
I have to say that what he thought was really beautiful.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside.
Shen Zhixu's eyes flickered slightly. It must be his mother coming. A triumphant smile flashed across his face, and he immediately turned his head away, deliberately not looking outside.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. He closed his eyes complacently, waiting confidently for Xie Changning to ask him for help.
"Zhixu, don't wait any longer. Your cruel mother won't come. You don't know how cruel she is. Not only did she punish Jingyun and Jingshu by making them kneel for the entire afternoon, she also ordered that no one be allowed to bring you food, not even medicine."
Hearing Qin's voice, Shen Zhixu suddenly opened his eyes. He turned around and looked at Qin in disbelief, "Did mother really say that?"
Shen Zhizhou also came. This was Qin's idea, and he was the best witness.
"The kitchen didn't even cook your meal. How could this be false? Grandmother couldn't bear to see you suffer, so she gave you all her own meals. She even had someone in the small kitchen make the medicine. When we came here, we were like thieves, afraid of being seen."
Shen Zhixu's face grew colder inch by inch.
His eyes were covered with a haze.
He was wrong.
He should no longer have any illusions about his mother.
Because of his mother, he has been beaten with thirty sticks, right?
A hint of smile flashed across Qin's eyes. "Zhi Xu, Grandmother knows you're upset, but you're injured. At least eat something to fill your stomach so you can take the medicine."
"Ah! Your mother has changed. She has become cold, selfish, and almost heartless..."
Qin told Shen Zhixu that Xie Changning had sent people to the Yongning Earl's Mansion to ask Shen Lanyue for something.
Shen Zhixu's face darkened after hearing this. "We've already caused a scene in the Ministry of Justice today. Isn't that embarrassing enough? No, she wants to destroy me."
If His Majesty knew that he had such a short-sighted mother, would He still use him even if he succeeded in joining the Ministry of Revenue?
As a mother, how could she be so cruel!
"Don't worry about anything else. Listen to grandma and eat your meal first." Qin picked up a bowl of porridge and fed it to Shen Zhixu herself.
The more he hated Xie Changning, the better.
All the kids are the same.
Shen Zhixu shook his head, "Just leave it there for now! I really don't have much of an appetite right now."
"Brother, don't be silly. Mother doesn't care about our life or death at all. Second brother hasn't come back for a long time, and mother hasn't sent anyone to look for him. It's useless even if you go on a hunger strike. You'd better listen to grandmother and eat the meal first, and then think of other ways." Shen Zhizhou followed to persuade him.
"Another way?" Shen Zhixu laughed at himself.
Qin and Shen Zhizhou persuaded him for a while, but he didn't eat a single bite of the food on the low table. However, he promised that he would eat it.
They had no choice but to leave first.
Back at Songbaiyuan, there was a table of steaming hot food in front of Qin, and Mother Huang was serving her the food. What happened today did not affect her appetite at all.
She naturally knew that Zhixu would never touch those foods.
But she still went there in person.
Only through comparison can we distinguish good from bad, right?
No one knew better than her how much effort Xie Changning had poured into this eldest son.
She just didn't believe that Xie Changning could really be so cruel.
If you don’t believe me, let’s make a bet. She might be able to endure it for one or two meals, but she definitely can’t endure it for a whole day.
Just wait and see!
After letting go, Xie Changning had a better appetite than Qin. After taking a bath, she went to bed early to rest.
Of course she knew that Qin had sent food to Shen Zhixu, but he didn’t eat it, right?
To be honest, she was afraid that the unruly son couldn't resist eating!
Just starve!
Although you won’t die, it will still be uncomfortable.
As long as he was not feeling well, she, as a mother, could not help but feel happy.
Just as she was dozing off, Madam Du hesitated for a moment and stepped forward to say, "Madam, there's something I'm not sure if I should tell you. The guards accompanying the Second Young Master have come to report that he's been at a brothel all afternoon, having fun, and is now drunk and unconscious. Would you like me to send someone to bring him back?"
Xie Changning didn't even bat an eyelid. "No need. Since he likes that kind of place, let him stay there for the night."
As Chen Zhiyan wished, she would never force him to study again.
He can do whatever he wants and she won't ask any questions.
Mother Du was stunned for a moment and said nothing. It seemed that the lady was determined not to care about the young masters anymore.
Anxiang Tower.
Shen Zhiyan was lying drunkenly on the chaise longue, holding a beauty in his arms. The beauty was soft and boneless, nestled in his arms, holding a wine glass and looking at him with seductive eyes, "Sir, keep drinking!"
"Zhiyan, this is your first time in a place like this, so you should really enjoy yourself."
"Who says it's not true? Bullshit, there are golden houses in books, there are beautiful women in books, how can they compare to this Anxiang Tower? Look at these little beauties, they are almost taking my soul away."
“…”
A few good friends were there, each holding a girl in his arms.
Shen Zhiyan responded with his mouth, but he looked absent-minded, and for some reason he kept looking towards the door.
It's already this late, the news that he was having fun in Anxiang Tower must have been passed back to the Marquis' Mansion long ago.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep.
Why hasn’t his mother sent anyone to look for him yet?
He remembered that last year, he was coaxed by some classmates to come to such a place. As soon as he took a step in, his mother came with people and took him back.
He was filled with resentment at the time.
Why can others come but he can't?
After a while, after a few more drinks, his classmates took the girls to the private rooms next door.
In the fragrant room, only he and the girl were left.
"Please have mercy on me, sir!" The girl was very bold and reached out to untie his robe. He was resisting at first, but when he heard the sound coming from next door and the anger in his heart, he put down his hands for some unknown reason.
