Chapter 352: The True and False Third Young Master
Mrs. Du asked, "Since you knew you were wrong, why didn't you come back and confess your crime? Even if you were hiding, you should have heard that my wife and the young master were back."
Lian Zhi lowered her head and said, "I was afraid that you were angry and that you would punish me if you knew the truth. I didn't realize it until now. When I came back today, I was ready to let you deal with me. I just wanted to come back and see you again."
These words sounded very nice, like a prodigal son who had come back and had a great enlightenment.
However, how could a person who was timid by nature and could hide for twenty years to avoid guilt suddenly wake up?
The probability was too low.
An Yunxi looked at Lian Zhi from the side, observing the other's expression. This person's performance was very lifelike, showing the guilt he once felt towards Mrs. Du to the fullest.
Perhaps, deep in her heart, she did feel a little guilty.
But this was definitely not the main reason why she came back today.
After all, this was her mother's own business. No one else said anything, even Ling Fengxun just stood beside An Yunxi and looked at the scene indifferently.
Mrs. Du suddenly sighed.
"If that's all you want to say, then there's no need to say more. It's been so long, and this lady won't do anything to you. Go away, and this lady will treat you as dead. Don't show up in front of this lady again."
This was the only mercy that Mrs. Du could give her.
Lian Zhi said, "Please give me a chance to compensate you and ask for your forgiveness."
Mrs. Du snorted coldly, "I will not forgive you, not in this life, so why should I give you a chance? If you don't get out now, don't blame me for having someone kick you out!"
She was a little too lazy to play along with Lian Zhi, so she ordered directly, "Come here"
"Madam, wait a minute, I know where the real Third Young Master is!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed instantly.
An Yunshen glanced sideways in the direction of An Yunze.
"What do you mean by the real Third Young Master? Isn't my Third Young Master right here?"
Lian Zhi raised his head and looked at An Yunze with some fear in his eyes, and then said in a trembling voice: "What a monster! I saw with my own eyes that the young master born by the An family was a normal child. How could he be a monster with white hair!"
After saying this, An Yunze almost subconsciously took a step back.
His face was originally pale, and when he heard such words, his eyes trembled slightly, and his face became even paler.
When Mrs. Du heard this, there was a bit of anger in her eyes. She stood up from the chair and strode to the door, in front of Lian Zhi.
"What did you say? Say it again!"
Lian Zhi's shoulders trembled. "Lian Zhi came here to tell the truth because she heard that the Third Young Master of the General's Mansion was replaced by someone, and later a white-haired Third Young Master was found. I just don't want my wife to be deceived!"
An Yunze was shocked. He knew that Lian Zhi was the maid who accompanied Du when she gave birth to a child twenty years ago.
When the child was born, she must have seen it with her own eyes, so
is everything a scam?
An Yunze's pupils shrank, and his light-colored eyes were bright red at this moment. He even felt that his heart was grasped by a big hand, making it impossible to breathe.
The suffocating feeling made him unable to think, and there was even a buzzing sound in his ears.
An Yunze found that he was a little dazzled and couldn't see clearly what was in front of him.
But suddenly, he realized that his wrist was grabbed by someone.
It was so tight that he seemed unable to break free no matter what.
At this moment, An Yunze felt extremely uncomfortable. Nothing could make people feel more desperate than giving hope and then crushing it.
"Third brother."
An Yunxi's voice came to his ears.
As if it existed in a distant time and space.
She looked at him firmly and even held his cold hand.
"Could it be that third brother would rather believe others than Yunxi?"
Her words became clear in An Yunze's ears.
Suddenly,
"Pa!"
A crisp slap sounded.
Mrs. Du's voice echoed in the hall.
"I don't even recognize my own son? You need to tell me who my son is!"
The extremely domineering words came out of the mouth of the mother who looked gentle and weak on weekdays, making An Yunxi raise the corners of her lips involuntarily.
The fierce voice of her mother was like the sound of nature.
An Yunze was also stunned, and even forgot the suffocating and uncomfortable feeling just now. He just stood there blankly, staring at his mother's back.
Du Shi attacked left and right without hesitation. She
aimed at Lian Zhi's face and slapped him a few more times.
She seemed to be tired of beating him, and then she panted and said viciously: "You still want to deceive this lady, do you think this lady is so easy to deceive?"
Lian Zhi was stunned.
Everything in front of her eyes began to go black.
But she had not forgotten the purpose of coming here.
"No, madam, what I said is true."
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Du slapped her again.
"Shut up, you have no right to speak here. You had bad intentions back then, and now you come here to sow discord and want to harm my son. If you really succeed, wouldn't you say that this lady is stupid to death?"
A lady from a noble family would swear when she was angry.
Mrs. Du has been the mistress of the general's mansion for so many years, and she has always been calm, but now, she is free and has no scruples. In her heart, reputation is not as important as her own children. If
someone dares to hurt her children, she will really fight to the death!
An Yunze's heart was boiling for a moment. At this moment, it seemed as if all the barriers that existed deep in his heart disappeared in an instant.
It turned out that this was the feeling of having a mother's love.
An Yunqing said, "This man came here to sow discord. There must be someone behind this. Come on, arrest him and interrogate him."
An Yunshen went forward and took the man up from the ground.
"That's right. My third brother is so handsome. How could he not be from my family? You come here and say he's fake without any evidence. Why don't you look in the mirror and see what you are? Who would believe your bullshit?"
An Yunshen was a straightforward person. He had been in the army for so many years and was full of roughness.
Lian Zhi was grabbed by the collar by a big hand and dragged out like a dead dog. She struggled desperately with her hands and feet, but she was already old and was no match for a young man.
She was even choked to the point of being unable to breathe. She could only grab the clothes where her menstruation was, and raised her neck to scream: "I, I..."
She was the only one who was still alive and had seen the young master of the An family when he was just born.
Lian Zhi didn't understand why this family didn't believe her?
