Sheng Yunrong looked at Deng Wan and couldn't help feeling a little sympathy in her heart.
Deng Wan was a kind and filial woman, but fate was unfair and made her bear too much pressure.
She patted Deng Wan's shoulder gently and comforted him softly: "Deng Wan, you don't have to blame yourself. Your mother has chosen the best path for you. You should cherish your current life and bring honor to your mother."
Deng Wan heard this, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, she nodded gently and said: "Madam, I will. I will try my best to be a good daughter and make my mother proud of me."
…
On the other side, the Qin Mansion.
Qin Fengyun rushed into the study with a sullen face, his eyes pointed at Qin Moyuan like a sharp arrow. The originally quiet study suddenly became filled with a tense atmosphere. Qin Moyuan sat there quietly, holding a book in his hand, his eyes calm.
Qin Fengyun walked up to Qin Moyuan angrily, his fists clenched, his eyes full of resentment. He gritted his teeth and said, "Qin Moyuan, you dare to take my place, you are such a bastard!"
Qin Moyuan raised his head slightly, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, but he soon calmed down. He gently put down the book in his hand, slowly stood up, and faced Qin Fengyun's attack. He did not dodge, but pushed Qin Fengyun away with force.
Qin Moyuan looked at Qin Fengyun firmly, and said in a cold tone: "I am not a bastard, you have no right to call me that. Besides, you should respect your mother Sheng Yunrong."
Qin Fengyun's eyes widened, as if he didn't expect Qin Moyuan to dare to resist. He sneered and said sarcastically: "Respect? You are just a waste, and Sheng Yunrong is not worthy of being called a mother!"
Qin Moyuan frowned, his eyes flashing with anger. He approached Qin Fengyun and said with gritted teeth: "Qin Fengyun, what qualifications do you have to say that! You don't understand your mother at all. You can never repay her for what she has done for you!"
Qin Fengyun smiled disdainfully and said, "Of course I understand her. She is just a lowly woman who is only fit to wash my feet. If it weren't for her, how could I have ended up like this today!"
Qin Moyuan's face became increasingly gloomy. He clenched his fists and looked at Qin Fengyun with a firm gaze: "Qin Fengyun, you are courting your own destruction! Not only are you not grateful for your mother's love and care for you, but you are humiliating her. People like you don't deserve to live in this world!"
Qin Fengyun waved his fist angrily, trying to attack Qin Moyuan again. However, Qin Moyuan did not dodge, he stepped forward and started a fierce fight with Qin Fengyun.
The two men fought fiercely in the study, books on the bookshelf fell to the ground, tables and chairs were overturned, and dust was flying.
The maid Xiang Zhu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, not knowing what to do.
Qin Fengyun's mouth was covered in blood, and the pain made him even more frantic. He grabbed Qin Moyuan's collar and gnashed his teeth and said, "You bastard, you dare to attack me! I will make you live a life worse than death!"
A trace of anger flashed in Qin Moyuan's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. He struggled to get rid of Qin Fengyun's restraints and said in a deep voice: "Qin Fengyun, if you dare to insult my mother again, I will never let you go!"
"Haha, a bastard is a bastard. He can only hide under his mother's wings!" Qin Fengyun laughed wildly, and his words became more and more sharp.
Qin Moyuan's face turned pale, and he could not suppress his anger. Every word Qin Fengyun said hit him sore, and he could not let his mother's reputation be damaged. He pushed Qin Fengyun hard and threw him to the ground.
Qin Fengyun got up, his eyes flashing with ferocity. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said viciously: "Qin Moyuan, do you think you can defeat me? I am the eldest son of the Qin family, and you are just an adopted son. What qualifications do you have to compete with me?"
Qin Moyuan sneered: "Qualifications? Do you think your so-called status can make you superior? In this study, we are all equal. Today, I will let you know what true strength is!"
The two men wrestled again, and the atmosphere in the study became increasingly tense.
"Feng Yun, Mo Yuan, what are you doing!" At this moment, Sheng Yunrong rushed over after hearing the news and yelled at the two of them.
Qin Fengyun stared at Qin Moyuan, bloodshot at the corners of his mouth, and he was furious: "Mother, this rebellious son actually dared to talk back to me, I must teach him a lesson!"
Qin Moyuan panted heavily, staring at Qin Fengyun with a firm look in his eyes: "Qin Fengyun, you can insult me, but you must not insult my mother!"
Sheng Yunrong looked at Qin Moyuan and couldn't help feeling a little sad.
This adopted son has been bullied by Qin Fengyun ever since he entered the mansion, but she never thought that he would actually fight with the tall and strong Qin Fengyun in order to protect herself.
"Feng Yun, stop it first!" Sheng Yunrong glared at Qin Feng Yun sternly, signaling him to stop fighting.
Qin Fengyun stopped helplessly, but still stared at Qin Moyuan with an unwilling look.
He stared at Sheng Yunrong with eyes wide open, a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and he asked angrily: "Mother, why did you stop me? This brat..."
Sheng Yunrong shook her head slightly and stood in front of Qin Moyuan, her eyes full of worry and reproach: "Feng Yun, you are already grown up, how can you still hit your brother? He is your brother, you should love and protect him."
Qin Fengyun's face turned gloomy, his fists clenched tightly, veins popping out. But he didn't do anything else, just looked at Qin Moyuan coldly.
Qin Moyuan stared at Qin Fengyun, his eyes burning with anger. His body trembled slightly, but he stood firmly in front of Sheng Yunrong to protect his mother. He clenched his teeth and said firmly: "Qin Fengyun, if you dare to bully your mother again, I will never let you go."
Sheng Yunrong looked at Qin Moyuan, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She gently patted Qin Moyuan's shoulder and said softly: "Moyuan, don't be afraid. With mother here, no one can bully us."
Qin Fengyun sneered and said, "Mother, do you think you can protect him like this? He is just an adopted son, and I am your biological son."
Sheng Yunrong's eyes narrowed. She looked at Qin Fengyun and said in a serious tone, "Fengyun, status cannot determine a person's value. Mo Yuan was adopted by me, but he is also my child. I will protect him with my life."
Qin Fengyun laughed out of anger and said, "Okay, mother, since you are so protective of him, I will show him what the rules of the Qin Mansion are."
Sheng Yunrong's face turned serious. Qin Fengyun had a bad temper. Once he made a decision, it was difficult to change it.
She took a deep breath and said, "Feng Yun, if you really do this, you will no longer be my son."
Qin Fengyun paused when he heard this, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. Soon, he regained his composure and said, "Mother, you said it lightly. But in this world, the weak are preyed upon by the strong, and only the strong can survive. I did this just to make him understand this truth."
