Qin Fengyun was furious and yelled, "Qin Moyuan, how dare you confuse right and wrong! Four years ago, it was you who bullied me and my sister. Mother, you must believe me!"
Sheng Yunrong frowned, looking at Qin Fengyun's angry expression, she couldn't help but feel a little confused. She had never thought that there would be such a conflict between her two sons.
Qin Moyuan stood up, his face calm: "Brother, I have never bullied you and my sister. I can explain what happened four years ago."
Qin Fengyun's eyes widened. He didn't expect Qin Moyuan to dare to refute him like this. He said angrily: "Mother, listen to this. He actually dared to deny it in front of you! You must make the decision for me!"
Sheng Yunrong looked at Qin Moyuan, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
Qin Mo was originally a very sensible child who never caused trouble. However, she could not favor any of her sons and needed to know the truth.
"Mo Yuan, tell me exactly what happened four years ago and let me judge who is right and who is wrong." Sheng Yunrong said in a firm tone.
Qin Moyuan nodded and began to recount what happened four years ago. He spoke calmly, without a trace of panic: "Four years ago, I picked up a wounded bird in the backyard of the Qin Mansion and wanted to take it home to take care of it. When the eldest young master saw it, he mistakenly thought I was going to hurt it, so he snatched the bird away and accused me. My sister and I were there at the time, and we can testify."
Qin Fengyun's face turned ugly. He didn't expect Qin Moyuan to tell the truth. He hurriedly explained: "That's because I saw the bird in his hand and thought he was going to harm it! I was protecting it!"
Qin Moyuan smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Master, do you remember that after you took the bird away, you threw it on the ground and let it struggle. In the end, I was the one who rescued it?"
Qin Fengyun was speechless. He had indeed forgotten about this matter. He looked at Qin Moyuan, with a trace of guilt in his eyes.
Sheng Yunrong saw this and had the answer in her mind. She sighed and said, "Feng Yun, you misunderstood Mo Yuan. He is a kind child and would not do anything to bully others."
Qin Fengyun lowered his head and said nothing.
After a moment's silence, he raised his head again, staring at Sheng Yunrong with blazing eyes, and roared, "Mother, why do you prefer to believe Qin Moyuan, but distrust me, your own son?"
Sheng Yunrong looked at Qin Fengyun with complicated eyes, and said firmly: "Fengyun, don't you understand? Although Moyuan is not my biological son, he has a gentle personality, is smart, and is very filial to me. And you, ever since Qin Moyuan came to the Qin Mansion, you have been jealous and have made things difficult for him. It's not that I don't believe you, but everything you have done makes me doubt your intentions."
Qin Fengyun's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "Mother, I have always respected Qin Moyuan and have never been disrespectful to him. But he is clearly a man with ulterior motives. He came to the Qin Mansion with the purpose of replacing me and becoming the heir of the Qin Mansion!"
Sheng Yunrong shook her head and sighed, "Feng Yun, you always look at others like this, using your own mind to calculate others. Why do you always turn a blind eye to Qin Moyuan's kindness to you? He has never had the slightest intention of replacing you. Instead, he has always been humble and let you take the lead in the Qin Mansion. Why can't you put aside your prejudice and live in peace with him?"
Qin Fengyun's eyes widened and he roared, "Mother, you are too partial! I am your biological son, but you always defend Qin Moyuan! I can't get your love, and all this is because of Qin Moyuan's appearance!"
Sheng Yunrong looked at Qin Fengyun with deep sorrow, tears welling up in her eyes: "Fengyun, you are wrong. I am not biased, but I really saw Qin Moyuan's kindness and sincerity. His coming to the Qin Mansion made me feel the warmth of family and made me feel that I have someone to rely on in life. But you, my biological son, make me feel strange and disappointed."
Qin Moyuan walked silently to Sheng Yunrong and said softly, "Mother, don't worry about me. I know the resentment in Feng Yun's heart, and I will do my best to resolve it. We are all a family, and we should not harbor resentment for each other's status and power. Feng Yun, I hope you can put aside your resentment and work with me to be filial to your mother and make the Qin family prosperous."
Qin Fengyun stared at Qin Moyuan, a complicated light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to indifference: "Qin Moyuan, do you think that you can make me believe your sincerity by saying a few nice words? I tell you, I won't let you go easily. The Qin Mansion is my home, and I won't let you succeed easily."
Qin Moyuan smiled gently and said, "Feng Yun, I have never thought of taking the Qin Mansion away from you. I just hope to live a happy life with my mother and sister. If you really regard me as an enemy, then I am willing to accept your challenge. But before that, please let me fulfill my responsibility as a son and take good care of my mother."
Sheng Yunrong looked at Qin Moyuan with tears in her eyes, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
Just then, Old Madam Qin rushed to the study in a hurry.
She was wearing a gorgeous purple robe, with a dignified look on her face. She hurried to the door of the study and immediately asked, "What happened? Why is there so much noise?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yunrong immediately knelt on the ground, grief-stricken, and cried, "Mother, it's all my fault. I didn't discipline my sons well, letting them fight in the study, causing Mo Yuan and Feng Yun to get hurt."
"What!" Madam Qin frowned, staring at Sheng Yunrong with a sharp gaze, and reprimanded her in a serious tone: "Sheng Yunrong, you are the daughter-in-law of my Qin family. Don't you know that the honor of the family is more important than anything else? Why don't you help my precious grandson Feng Yun, but instead speak for this outsider Qin Moyuan?"
Sheng Yunrong burst into tears and said in a trembling voice: "Mother, I was indeed wrong. I was just anxious at the moment, and when I saw that Mo Yuan was seriously injured, I couldn't help but plead for him. I know I made a mistake, and I am willing to accept the punishment."
Madam Qin snorted coldly and said, "Do you know where you are wrong? You are wrong in disregarding the family honor and forgetting your duties as a mother. Qin Fengyun is your son, but you are helping your adopted son. Where does this make the Qin family look good?"
Sheng Yunrong instructed Xiang Zhu who was standing by her side, "Go quickly and ask the palace doctor to come over. The two young masters are so seriously injured, we can't delay any longer."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Zhu immediately ran out of the house in a hurry.
After a while, Xiang Zhu came in with an old doctor. Sheng Yunrong quickly made way for the doctor to check the pulses of the two young masters. The doctor was skilled and frowned. After a while, he put down the pulse pillow in his hand and sighed.
At this time, Madam Qin walked in slowly. Seeing Sheng Yunrong's tearful face, she couldn't help but frowned and said coldly, "Sheng Yunrong, what are you doing? You can only cry here. Have you ever thought about how to solve the problem in front of you?"
Sheng Yunrong raised her head and shook her head sobbingly: "Mother, I...I really have no other choice."
