"A Zhao, don't be so picky. I personally selected this child. He's definitely a good one. Now that all the relatives are here today, just adopt him!"
Yang Zhao looked at the woman in gorgeous clothes in front of him and was dazed for a moment.
It was not until her eyes fell on the delicate and beautiful child beside her that she was sure that she was reborn.
Back to fifteen years ago, the sixth year since she married into the Shen family.
"Don't feel wronged. It was you who was so careless that you fell into the lake in this extremely cold month. The doctor has already diagnosed you. The cold air has damaged your body's foundation. You will never be able to bear children again."
Shen Sulan pushed the child in her arms to the front of the bed: "Look at this child, how cute and beautiful he is! I won't let you down by making him your legitimate son!"
It’s really beautiful.
In her previous life, she had agreed to what her aunt Shen Sulan said, and adopted this Xuan brother, raising him as her own son and cultivating him with all her heart.
And he did not disappoint her expectations. When he was only twenty years old, he won the top spot in both civil and military examinations, bringing great honor to his family.
But on his most glorious day, he hosted a banquet in her name for his father and brother who had just returned from the expedition. He poisoned the wine and killed his grandfather and uncle, whom he had been calling his ancestors for more than ten years, on the spot. Then he personally took the Yang family's military command and evidence of the Yang family's treason and rebellion and presented them to the new emperor.
The Yang family was slaughtered overnight.
The running dog will be cooked.
She still remembered when she was stripped of her gorgeous clothes and hung on the city wall, she asked him:
"Xuan'er, why? I've been your mother for fifteen years, and I never thought I owed you anything. I protected you, loved you, and taught you. My Yang family has never treated you unfairly, and we've done our best to help you, and you—"
Xuan Ge'er interrupted her with a gentle smile and said, "Mother? Are you worthy of being my mother?"
"If it weren't for you, how could I have been separated from my biological mother? I would have had to endure the disgusting act of pretending to be stupid to please you every day, being forced by you to learn this and that, and even being scolded like a dog by your vulgar Yang family members."
"I might as well tell you, from the first moment I saw you, I've been wondering why you didn't drown in the lake that day? Why did you live to take my mother's place as mistress? You should have died long ago!"
Yang Zhao remembered that when he said those words, the hatred in his eyes was so vicious that it seemed like poison.
She was stunned.
She could never have imagined that the child she had raised with all her heart and soul would hate her so deeply.
"You still have a mother? Didn't your parents die early?"
"Oh! Of course I have a mother. She is the one who truly loves and cares for me..."
soon.
Yang Zhao finally knew who the mother Xuan Ge'er was talking about. She was Wei Yaer, the maid her paralyzed husband brought back from the border, and who was later adopted as the godson by Old Lady Shen.
Wei Yaer, dressed in the finery of a second-rank imperial decree, came up to her arm in arm with her husband, who had recovered at some point, and said, "Sister-in-law, you've occupied the position of the Shen family's mistress for so many years. It's time to return it to me. I'll have Brother Xuan personally send you off, so that all your years of teaching him won't be in vain."
Her husband looked cold and indifferent, and said nothing.
She seemed to have completely forgotten that when the male members of the Shen family were exiled, he swore to her that he would never let her down when he returned and would be with her forever, otherwise he would be struck by lightning and the whole family would be wiped out.
She smiled.
"Chen Li, do you still remember the appointment we made back then?"
"After I die, I will definitely turn into that evil spirit and haunt your Shen family until I see your entire Shen family annihilated with my own eyes, haha——"
She laughed like crazy, and her laughter attracted countless onlookers, and it also made Shen Li finally unable to pretend to be calm.
"Kill her!"
The cold arrow pierced her chest.
After her death, she turned into a fierce ghost and witnessed with her own eyes the noble man in the wheelchair leading his troops into the capital to collect her body...
"My lady, your hands are so cold, let me warm them for you."
As soon as Yang Zhao came back to his senses, he felt his hand warm.
Five-year-old Xuan Ge'er climbed onto her bed at some point, grabbed her hand and blew hot air on it in a cute manner.
Yang Zhao pulled his hand away without thinking.
"ah!"
Xuan Ge'er was kneeling on the edge of the bed, and when she pulled his hand away, his whole chubby body fell backwards onto the bed.
'Boom'
I could hear someone hitting his head.
“Ouch, it hurts…”
Xuan Ge'er cried loudly in pain.
Shen Sulan reacted, her face horrified as she picked up Xuan Ge'er and said, "Oh my God! Xuan Ge'er, where did you hit your head? Did you hurt your head? Come, let me take a look."
After checking that there were no scratches, Shen Sulan angrily questioned Yang Zhao, "Yang Zhao, Xuan Ge'er is only a five-year-old boy. Why are you so intolerant of him? Why are you so cruel?"
From what I heard, Shen Sulan knew Xuan Ge'er's background? !
Yang Zhao couldn't help laughing when he thought about what he saw and heard in the Shen family as a ghost after his death.
ridiculous!
Really ridiculous!!
It turned out that in the previous life, the Shen family knew the identity of Xuan Ge'er, and they also knew about the private affair between Wei Yaer and Shen Li, but the entire Shen family helped to hide it from her, coax her, and suck her blood.
"What are you laughing at?" Shen Sulan glared.
"He's just a beggar, but he can make my aunt so nervous. It shows that my aunt really likes this beggar." Yang Zhao suppressed his smile.
"That's natural."
"This child is very pretty, well-behaved and sensible. It's worth it for him to be your legitimate son." The tone of her voice seemed to be saying that she was marrying up because Xuan Ge'er could be her legitimate son.
ridiculous.
"A Zhao, it's not that your aunt wants to say anything about you. Although your Yang family is a noble family, you are just warriors after all." When the word "warrior" was mentioned, the disgust in Shen Sulan's eyes was about to overflow.
