Chapter 194: Not Being a Father

While the two were talking, a maid ran over.

"Sister Shuanghong, the young lady is calling you back!"

After hearing this, Shuanghong no longer wasted time with Captain Qian and ran back to the main courtyard in small steps.

Captain Qian looked at her and shouted with a smile, "Miss Shuanghong, I'll treat you to tea next time!"

The frosty red ears turned red immediately while jogging.

Lu Lingyun was waiting for Shuanghong in the yard.

After she had a fit of rage in the morning, everyone else in the yard was trembling with fear. No one dared to surround her with chatter as usual. They all did their work honestly for fear of being scolded.

Lu Lingyun was too lazy to say anything to others. She sat quietly in the main room. After a while, Shuanghong ran in.

"Young Madam." Shuanghong, who had been scolded, lowered her head and stood at the door to greet.

Seeing her like a little quail, Lu Lingyun felt soft in her heart. She sighed and called Shuanghong forward, "Come here."

Shuanghong stepped forward obediently.

"Angry with me?"

"I dare not." Shuanghong said as she was about to kneel.

Lu Lingjun grabbed her arm to stop her from kneeling. Shuanghong could not help but look at Lu Lingjun with fear and anxiety.

Seeing her like this, Lu Lingyun chuckled, "Am I some kind of man-eating beast? Are you so afraid of me?"

"No, Madam, you are kind-hearted, tolerant and generous. Everyone in the mansion knows that you are a good person."

Shuanghong said hurriedly.

Lu Lingjun was known for her kindness to her servants. Shuanghong followed Lu Lingjun closely and knew her better. She was not the kind of mistress who was sweet-mouthed, vicious and cruel.

However, Lu Lingyun is really strict when she is strict, and her methods are drastic. Moreover, Lu Lingyun is very wise, and no one can escape her eyes.

Like a tiger squatting in the house, or a god without anger.

She turned a blind eye and calmly watched everything in her territory.

Most of the time she makes people feel at ease and gives everyone a sense of security, but once she becomes serious, people become afraid of her.

Lu Lingyun chuckled as she listened to Shuanghong's words. She pulled Shuanghong to her side, relaxed her tone, and said with a little emotion, "Shuanghong, you and Zhiran have been with me since childhood. You two treat me differently from others."

"I know." Shuanghong raised her eyes and said.

Lu Lingyun looked into her eyes and said deeply, "You brought your sister here today, which actually scared me."

"I was too rude in this matter. There will definitely not be a next time."

Seeing Shuanghong about to kneel again, Lu Lingyun pulled her and continued, "I'm not blaming you for this. I always thought you had no family. Didn't your sister run away with your mother and her whereabouts are unknown? How could she find you? Could it be that your mother found you?"

Lu Lingyun pretended to know nothing and asked.

"No." Shuang Honghun was unaware and confessed honestly, "My mother is dead. My sister told me that I was sold that year, and she and my mother escaped and were taken in by a man. That man took her and my mother to live together. Some time ago, when my mother passed away, she met my father and his family, and she reunited with my father, my grandmother, and my brother."

Lu Lingyun heard the same things as he knew in his previous life, and sneered in his heart, what a Spring and Autumn style of writing.

They can describe betrayal and ingratitude with such tenderness.

"Oh? You said your sister and your mother were taken in by someone. Was that person a man or a woman?"

Shuanghong frowned, "A man."

"A man took in your mother and your sister. What kind of thing is that? Were they raped by that man?"

"That's not the case," Shuang Hong quickly shook her head to explain. She had asked before, "My sister said that he was her stepfather. She used to call him dad."

"Is she nice?"

"Very good. I heard that her stepfather dotes on her very much and doesn't ask her to do any rough work. He gives all the money he earns every day to her and my mother," Shuanghong said, feeling happy for them. "My mother is lucky."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Lu Lingyun ask, "Why did your sister abandon her stepfather who was so kind to her and reunite with your father and his family?"

Lu Lingyun's question instantly stumped Shuanghong.

Shuanghong has a simple mind and she doesn't think too much about what others say.

She just listened to her sister's account of the experience, and she sensed that something was wrong, but she just couldn't put her finger on it.

Looking at Danhong's happy face, looking forward to reunion, and talking about the affection of her family. Her family seemed to be treating her very well, so she didn't ask any questions.

After Lu Lingyun said this, she finally realized that her sister had abandoned her stepfather who had raised her for more than ten years and chose her biological father. Isn't this betrayal and ingratitude?

Seeing Shuanghong was stunned and seemed to have figured things out, Lu Lingyun continued to ask, "Also, you just said that you have a younger brother. Didn't your mother only give birth to you and your sister?"

Shuang Hong nodded stiffly, "My younger brother was born to my father's rented wife."

Her father couldn't afford to marry a second wife, but the family line had to continue, so at her grandmother's strong request and the support of her savings, her father rented a cheap poor wife, who gave birth to a younger brother for them.

After hearing this, Lu Lingyun slowly said, "After your mother ran away, your father rented a wife and asked her to give birth to a son. Your mother took her daughter and married that man. But that man didn't ask your mother to continue his family line. Instead, he took good care of your sister. No matter how you look at it, you can't help thinking that your biological father is a worthless person."

"My father is indeed a bastard." Shuanghong said at this time.

Her eyes suddenly became clear, and she saw flowers in the mist. The injuries that had been concealed by time, as well as the barrier of family affection that had blinded her eyes after a long separation, were now cleared away.

right!

Her young mistress was absolutely right.

They are both men, so why can her stepfather support her mother and her sister without any complaints, regardless of blood relationship or gender, while her biological father can drive her mother and sister away, sell her off, and even rent a wife to have another son!

People like him are just bastards!

Not a father at all!

"Ah, I find it strange now," Lu Lingyun continued, "Why did your father and his men come here to look for you? Logically, they are looking for your sister and want her to come over, but you were sold by him, and you are a death indenture. What do they want to do by coming all the way here?"

Shuang Hong suddenly understood, "He's just here to ask for money!"

"How despicable!" Lu Lingyun cursed, and she held Shuanghong's hand tightly, "Shuanghong, those people sold you out once, and that's all they did for you. From now on, we are strangers. Don't let them suck your blood again."

"I know." Shuang Hong nodded solemnly, "I will go down to do my work first."

Seeing that Shuanghong seemed to have figured things out, Lu Lingyun felt a little relieved.
