Chapter 207, Second Uncle’s Past
Liu’s House.
After Liu Wan coaxed the child to sleep, she tossed and turned in the moonlight, feeling very uneasy.
It was not because of the gift from Second Master Xie today.
It was because of what she had mentioned in her heart, that Second Master Xie had spiritual power.
Second Master Xie had been running the Xie family business for many years. No matter how he had made contributions, or how he had exported things back to South Vietnam to harm South Vietnam.
Just because he had run these businesses and harmed many people, he was unforgivable.
Now, because he was the second prince of South Vietnam, His Majesty was jealous of him.
Such a person had status, spiritual power, and means. She was a little worried that Xia Siheng would suffer a loss if he confronted such a person.
Just as she finished thinking, she saw a tall black shadow covering the window.
She looked with wide eyes and saw Xia Siheng dressed in black, motioning her not to make a sound.
She put on a cloak, got off the bed carefully, opened the door and walked out.
Xia Siheng was waiting for her outside the room. When he saw him come out, he smiled slightly, picked up the beggar chicken and two bottles of wine in his hand, and looked very proud.
He took Liu Wan to the roof, and after sitting firmly, he opened the chicken wrapped in lotus leaves.
The steaming fragrance of the wrapped chicken wafted out instantly.
"This is for you!" He tore off a chicken leg, wrapped the part where he grabbed it with lotus leaves, and handed it to Liu Wan.
Liu Wan didn't want to eat something greasy at night, but the moment she saw the flower chicken, her stomach started to growl.
Xia Siheng smiled and said, "These two pots are plum wine, they won't make you sick, let's have a good chat tonight."
Liu Wan took the chicken leg and tasted it elegantly. "If Wanwan knew that we were hiding on the rooftop for supper without calling her, I would have to coax her all night."
"You have such a bad temper." Xia Siheng smiled, and when he mentioned his daughter, he took away a tile and looked into the house.
The little girl was sleeping so soundly, lying on her back, and seemed to be drooling. I don't know what delicious food she dreamed of.
Since they saw her, she should eat the flower chicken lunch box too!
"Did the prince come here in the middle of the night just to bring supper?" Liu Wan asked with her head tilted.
Xia Siheng tapped her forehead, "Of course not, this supper is my small apology, I have something to tell you!"
He thought about it for a long time when he went back today.
Wanwan's thoughts today made him feel uneasy.
How could Xie Jinqian have spiritual power. ＷＷw.lΙnＧㄚùＴχτ.nét
"Could it be about the second master of the Xie family?" Liu Wan asked.
"The teacup in his hand was broken strangely today, but when I tested him, he said he didn't know martial arts. Looking at his skills, he doesn't look like a martial artist. But this teacup is a reward for your Liu family in the Ministry of Rites. How could it be easily crushed!"
"When you were in the Xie family, how much did you know about this Second Master Xie?" When
mentioning this, Xia Siheng looked a little embarrassed.
He didn't mean to remind Liu Wan of these, but the Second Master was really strange.
Liu Wan sighed, she looked at the crescent moon in the sky, her eyes darkened, "He is also a poor person!"
The year she married into the Xie family was a cold winter with heavy snow.
When the old lady and the mother-in-law learned that she had not had her period, their attitude towards her was much colder than before.
Although she was in a bad mood, after she delivered the letter to her mother that day, her mother came over in the snow and wind to help her solve her problems and support her. She
held the hot soup that her mother cooked herself all the way in her arms, and she didn't feel cold at all.
This enlightenment made her not lose hope for the future.
On the way back from sending her mother, Panchun screamed, as she just saw someone jumping into the lake.
The lake was frozen, and the loud noise had created a hole in the ice.
Liu Wan was shocked and hurriedly asked Wangxia to run to find someone, while she and Panchun held each other and tried to save people by the lake!
Fortunately, the hole was right by the lake, and she saw a piece of clothing in the lake, so she didn't care so much.
He reached out his hand to pull him up, but his whole arm was not in the water. He finally managed to grab a corner of his clothes. Panchun also reached out.
The two worked together, and pulled the man's arm by the clothes, and pulled him up!
While dragging him, the thorns on the shore cut Liu Wan's shoes, but she didn't notice it at all.
The twelve-year-old boy was frozen unconscious, his handsome face was pale, and
he was still trembling. It was not until the court doctor came and arranged for someone to soak him in hot water and light a fire that he woke up! As
soon as he woke up, he asked with dull eyes, "Why did you save me?"
Liu Wan learned from the servants that he was the second master of the marquis's mansion, who had taken over the family business for a year. He read books every morning, and went to the shop to manage the business at noon and in the afternoon.
But even though he tried so hard to please the Xie family, the Xie family did not treat his mother with any favor.
His mother could not stand the domestic violence and left him. It was said that she left a suicide note and found a deserted place to commit suicide. Jing'an Hou could not find her body.
Liu Wan was raised by her mother's love since she was a child, so she naturally couldn't stand hearing these.
Xie Jinqian had just woken up and had no time to rest. He ran to Liu Wan's yard in thin clothes with tears in his eyes and asked her crying,
"Are you my sister-in-law? Why did you save me!"
Liu Wan was almost frightened by his appearance, and two maids hurriedly protected her behind them.
Liu Wan's expression softened after she found out that the young man had no ill intentions. "Not to mention me, any person with a conscience would not sit idly by and watch someone fall into the water."
But the young man was adamant and kept asking, "You saved me, tell me, why should I live?"
"My father has a bad temper, why doesn't he marry someone similar to him, but has to choose my mother?"
"My mother is the only one in the world who loves me. In order to prevent her from being bullied, I studied hard, I prostrated myself, and tried to please my grandmother and everyone else. Why can't they treat her well?" "Why
have I made so many efforts, and everyone in the world praises me as a useful talent, but I can't even protect my mother?"
"Is hard work useful? In this world, does birth determine everything?"
"I am not a legitimate son. No matter how hard I work, I can't win people's favor, and I can't protect the people closest to me."
"What did I do wrong? My mother decided to commit suicide without telling me, and she didn't even leave me the thought!"
"Sister-in-law, tell me, is there any meaning in living in this world?"
These words revealed despair and suffocation in every word.
He tried his best to protect his mother and wanted to get some love, but because of his status as a concubine and a bastard, his hopes were dashed. His
dream was shattered. What
really broke him was not how much he worked hard
but that he thought the mother-son love was deep, but until they were separated forever, there was only a suicide note.
Even the corpse and ashes were not left for him.
The only warmth and motherly love he had found in the past ten years were all empty. He was abandoned!
And all his efforts turned into a floating bubble.
He couldn't find the meaning of life, so he decided to leave quietly.
He never expected that someone would reach out to save him.
But he met Liu Wan.
