Chapter 622: Yan Feishuang's Threat
On the top floor of the pavilion, lights are shining.
The window was open, and the air was still filled with a strong smell of medicine.
There was a person lying on the bed, a man, with completely white hair, closed eyes, and a gray and lifeless face.
If it weren't for the rise and fall of his chest, one would almost think he was dead.
Beside the bed, a woman was sitting, arranging flowers on the bedside table.
She is not young anymore and has many wrinkles on her face, but one can still tell from her facial features that she must have been a beauty when she was young.
The woman put the flowers in place, turned around and saw a bird perched on the windowsill.
The woman stood up and picked up the bird. When she got closer, she could see that the bird was not real, but made of wood and looked lifelike.
This is a mechanical bird.
The woman pressed lightly on the bird's head, and the bird's belly opened, revealing a note hidden inside.
The note read:
Xiaoduan returns.
The woman's brow furrowed slightly.
Why is Xiaoduan back?
Isn't this just walking into a trap?
This woman was the wife of the head of the Yan family and the mother of Yan Xiaoduan.
Madam Yan walked to the bed, grabbed the hand of the head of the Yan family, and sighed softly.
"Xiao Duan was spoiled by you. He finally ran away and came back again. I don't know what he is thinking."
In order to help Xiaoduan escape, she mobilized her remaining manpower, but the child came back.
Now that I'm back, is there still a way to survive?
Her heart was in a knot, and she couldn't help but hold the hand of the head of the Yan family tightly.
"Master, please wake up soon. I don't know what to do." Madam Yan said with red eyes.
Mrs. Yan has a weak character. After marrying the head of the family, she was spoiled by him. She has always been carefree and has a heart like that of a young girl.
Until the head of the family fell ill...
She became a little stronger.
What if I’m not strong?
The head of the family fell ill, and Xiaoduan ran away.
She was actually very angry that the child was so ignorant.
But the head of the family said that it would be good for him to gain some experience outside.
They sought medical treatment outside for several years, and when they came back, they found that the Yan family had changed and the power of the head of the family had been almost hollowed out.
The dispute over whether to remain in seclusion or leave the world has always existed in the Yan family.
Being born into the world means wealth, glory and endless power and status.
Some people in the Yan family were tempted by power and status and wanted to leave the world, but they were suppressed by the head of the family.
The head of the family in the Yan family strictly abides by the family rules and represents absolute authority.
The head of the family fell ill and left the Yan family, which gave these people an opportunity to take advantage of him.
Half a year ago, the head of the family returned to the Yan family. His health had improved and he focused on managing the Yan family.
Not long after, Xiaoduan also came back.
The child has grown a lot.
Mrs. Yan thought things were going in a good direction.
Unexpectedly, the medicine that Xiao Duan brought caused the head of the family to fall into a coma and he never woke up again!
Even though all the evidence pointed to Xiaoduan and everyone said that it was Xiaoduan who harmed the head of the family, Madam Yan believed in her son.
However, her words were not heard and she could only watch her son being convicted and locked up in solitary confinement.
Mrs. Yan could not see her son at all, nor could she speak to him alone.
It was not until this time that Mrs. Yan discovered that the one who betrayed the master of the house was his most trusted sister.
Yan Feishuang is in charge of the Yan family's punishments. He is serious, fair and strict.
Who would have thought that she was the leader of the group advocating for birth?
The Patriarch was in a coma, and most of the Yan family was under Yan Feishuang's control. Under such circumstances, she could only stay by the Patriarch's side, fearing that those people would harm him...
She used the little strength she had to help Xiaoduan escape from the Yan family, just wanting her son to survive.
During this period, Mrs. Yan was very desperate.
She could feel that the master's health was getting weaker day by day and he couldn't hold on for much longer.
When the head of the family...she will end her life with a white silk thread.
But how did my son come back?
It was all her fault for not telling her son that the Yan family was already under the control of Yan Feishuang.
He probably still trusts this hypocritical aunt.
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Mrs. Yan quickly came to her senses and went to open the door, only to see Yan Feishuang, who was dressed meticulously, standing outside the door with a stern face and a hint of severity.
Mrs. Yan had actually always been a little afraid of her. When she saw her at this moment, she felt a pang of palpitations and hatred at the same time.
"Sister-in-law, I came to see my brother." Yan Feishuang said.
Mrs. Yan forced a smile and let her in.
Yan Feishuang walked to the bed, looked at the person lying on it, and suddenly reached out to touch his face, with a strange feeling in her eyes.
Madam Yan felt very uncomfortable. She had long felt that Yan Feishuang had feelings for the Patriarch that went beyond siblings, but Yan Feishuang had hidden them well. Madam Yan's womanly intuition sensed this. After the Patriarch fell into a coma, Yan Feishuang no longer concealed it.
Speaking of which, when she married the head of the family, Yan Feishuang ran away from home and came back two years later. When she came back, she brought Yan Zhuo back with her.
Yan Feishuang said Yan Zhuo was her son. She was a virgin, and she had a son. If this got out, how embarrassing it would be...
The head of the Yan family then adopted Yan Zhuo as his adopted son.
The head of the family was very nice to them, mother and son, but he didn't expect that they were ungrateful.
Mrs. Yan was disgusted with Yan Feishuang and wanted to kick her out, but she held back because she wanted to get some information out of her.
"Did you know that Xiaoduan is back?" Yan Feishuang said suddenly.
Mrs. Yan made a surprised expression.
She couldn't let Yan Feishuang find out that she knew it, because if she did, Yan Feishuang would know about the Yan family and her people, and she would be able to get the news.
"Xiao Duan is such a naive kid. He even brought a doctor back, saying he could cure my brother's illness." Yan Feishuang said.
It turned out that Xiaoduan ran away not to escape, but to find a doctor for the head of the family.
This child is really filial.
If the Patriarch knew... he would definitely be very pleased... Patriarch...
Madam Yan glanced at the unconscious head of the family and couldn't help but shed tears.
Yan Feishuang felt disgusted when she saw her like this. She thought she was weak and indecisive, and cried easily. Why did her elder brother like her?
"So many miracle doctors can't cure your illness, so how can any random doctor cure your eldest brother's? Xiaoduan is filial, but he's a little stupid." Yan Feishuang said.
Mrs. Yan was very dissatisfied with Yan Feishuang's comment that Xiao Duan was stupid, and an indignant expression appeared on her face.
Yan Feishuang showed contempt. Yan Xiaoduan and this woman were actually just as stupid!
However, she later thought that it was actually a good thing that Yan Xiaoduan fell into the trap.
"Xiao Duan has been refusing to eat in the confinement room..." Yan Feishuang sighed softly and suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, do you know where the key to the Tiange is?"
Tiange is the Yan family's warehouse, which contains drawings and formulas of various firearms. It is the Yan family's most valuable treasure.
Historically, only the head of the family has the key to the Tiange.
The head of the family was unconscious, and the woman in front of him was his bedmate. Yan Feishuang felt that she must know.
"I...I don't know." Mrs. Yan said.
"If you hand over the key, I will persuade Xiaoduan to eat. Alas, he has been refusing to eat, and I don't know how long he can hold on." Yan Feishuang sighed softly and turned to leave.
Mrs. Yan closed the door, sat down on the edge of the bed, and bit her lips tightly with her teeth.
She knew that Yan Feishuang was threatening her.
Yan Feishuang wanted to starve Xiaoduan and force her to hand over the key.
How many days can a person survive without food or water?
Xiao Duan...her son...
what to do? !
Mrs. Yan's heart was filled with worry and despair.
