Chapter 41 The Child Is Not Yan Qinghao's
After Qin Mingzhu finished speaking, there was no sound in the room for a long time.
Until someone knocked on the door, Chunhua's voice came from outside the door: "The food is heated up, ma'am!"
Mrs. Qin just felt dazed.
She subconsciously exchanged a glance with General Qin, and seeing her general's dumbfounded, bewildered, and shocked expression, she took a deep breath.
"Uh, bring it in."
The food was rearranged by the servants arranged by Aunt Chen.
The family continued to eat.
However, even after they had eaten the food, Mrs. Qin and General Qin didn't say a word.
Qin Mingzhu cautiously stole a glance at her parents' expressions. She used her chopsticks to pick at her food twice and was about to speak when she heard General Qin say, "Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping."
Qin Mingzhu: “…”
She finished the food in her bowl silently.
Only then did he put down his chopsticks and look at his parents who were sitting on both sides, still looking worried.
"This matter is actually..."
General Qin suddenly slammed the table hard.
The chopsticks fell on the table with a crisp sound.
General Qin suddenly gnashed his teeth, his eyes red as he said, "Zhu'er, who is this pervert?"
At this moment, all of General Qin's emotions turned into anger.
It has been less than a year since my daughter married into the Marquis's Mansion, and the child in her belly is not her legitimate husband's. It must be that she was bullied by some blind scoundrel!
Seeing this, Qin Mingzhu quickly spoke to comfort him: "Dad, don't worry."
General Qin's breathing became heavy.
His eyes became even redder, and even emitted a hint of murderous intent.
"How can Dad not be anxious? Something happened to my daughter, and I, as her father, only found out now!"
"Well, the child's matter isn't that serious. Besides, everyone says Yan Qinghao is dead. Isn't that good enough that the child isn't his?"
Mrs. Qin couldn't help it.
She also put down her chopsticks. Today's family dinner tasted like chewing wax.
Turning her head to look at her daughter, Mrs. Qin asked with concern, "Mingzhu, tell me, who is it?"
The weak Mrs. Qin actually had a rare hint of hostility in her eyes.
Seeing that her parents seemed to have misunderstood, Qin Mingzhu began to explain: "Something unexpected happened on the day of the wedding..."
She was silent for a moment, then suddenly said slowly, "My daughter volunteered..."
Qin Mingzhu lied.
If I say that I have no idea what happened that day and my innocence is taken away, my parents will definitely find ways to kill Yan Fengxiao given their character.
When Qin's father and mother heard Qin Mingzhu say this, they were obviously stunned for a moment, and their expressions changed faster than turning pages of a book.
Madam Qin said, "So that's how it is. Girl, if you have someone you like, just tell me earlier. I won't force you to marry someone else. Who knew Yan Qinghao was a short-lived ghost? Since the child is not from the Yan family, I will go to the Marquis' Mansion to cancel the engagement in a few days!"
General Qin was silent for a moment, thought deeply for a while and nodded.
"Is this kid's biological father still alive? If he is, bring him here for him to see."
At this moment, the Qin couple's mood experienced a great ups and downs.
The words Qin Mingzhu said were beyond description.
Looking at the forced smiles on her parents' faces, Qin Mingzhu let out a sigh of frustration. "My daughter has grown up. I can handle these things myself. I told you today because I don't want you to worry too much in the future. As for the child's father..."
She lowered her head and glanced at her bulging belly.
Qin Mingzhu sighed, and there was a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes.
"It may not be long before Mom and Dad know. It's getting late, you two should go to bed early."
After saying that, Qin Mingzhu stood up and left the room.
As soon as Qin Mingzhu left, the food on the table was not cleared away, and Qin's father and mother sat on the chairs, staring at each other.
Mrs. Qin's fingers, which were placed aside, were trembling slightly. Her daughter's remarks today really shocked her.
Even she was shocked.
"Why……"
Madam Qin sighed, "It seems the Yan family doesn't know about this yet. Fortunately, Yan Qinghao is dead, and there is no evidence. It seems this isn't a bad thing."
The wrinkles between General Qin's brows deepened, and his expression looked more haggard.
"I'm afraid the truth will come out. If Zhu'er stays in the Marquis's mansion and the matter of the child is exposed, she will be in danger. That old hag of the Yan family is not someone you can easily get along with."
As he spoke, he touched his legs.
The area just below the thigh is empty and I can't feel anything.
General Qin's expression darkened. After a long moment, he spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, "It's all because of my uselessness as a father..."
Mrs. Qin lowered her eyes, her eyelashes hiding the sadness at the corners of her eyes, and wiped the blood from the corner of her lips with a handkerchief.
It's not even spring yet, and her illness is getting worse...
…
The second day after returning to the General’s Mansion.
Yan Yunrui and Yan Yunyue were hungry for a day and a night in the general's mansion.
At this time, Yan Yunyue had already started crying. The two young masters of the Marquis' Mansion, who had never suffered any hardship, finally understood what it felt like to be hungry after skipping a meal.
"Brother, Yueyue is hungry!"
Yan Yunrui and Yan Yunyue stood at the gate of the yard and knocked on the door desperately.
He had already smashed everything in the room to pieces, but the only things that could be smashed were a few broken porcelain plates and teapots.
When it was smashed, the fragments cut his hand, causing a lot of blood and severe pain.
Children of this age cannot bear hunger. Yan Yunyue had been crying for a long time while holding Yan Yunrui, and now she didn't even have the strength to cry.
"This vicious woman must be trying to starve us to death. When we get out, we'll definitely go complain to grandma!"
Yan Yunyue's eyes were red and swollen. "Brother, please go and apologize. Yueyue is hungry!"
Yan Yunrui's body froze instantly.
He stood there looking at his sister in disbelief.
"Yueyue, you want me to apologize to that woman? How is that possible? Even if I starve to death today, I won't eat a single bite of food from the General's Mansion. I wonder how she will explain this to the Marquis' Mansion later!"
"Yueyue, don't tell me. Yueyue wants to eat. Brother, please, Yueyue is almost starving to death..."
Yan Yunrui's expression became extremely ferocious.
Yan Yunyue was still shaking his sleeves at this time.
The teapot was dropped by Yan Yunrui, and she didn't even get a sip of water that afternoon.
The huge general's mansion seemed to be empty. No matter how she knocked on the door or how she cried, no one paid any attention to them.
For the first time, the two children experienced what it meant to cry out to the sky but get no response, and to the earth but have no way out.
Yan Yunrui looked at Yan Yunyue's pale little face and her bloodless lips, and felt extremely uncomfortable, as if his waist had been broken alive.
He clenched his teeth, his original firm belief being interrupted by the sudden rumbling sound from his stomach.
"Okay... I'll go and make amends..."
