"I, I'm not..." He shook his head in panic, his voice as soft as a mosquito, then turned and fled like a frightened deer, as if there was a flood or a beast chasing him.
Xu Feiqiong looked at Ye Songyan's departing back, feeling somewhat relieved. "Ouyang Rongyue, I will return everything to you. I don't owe you anything anymore."
Madam Ouyang, “…”
"I don't owe you anything anymore, I don't owe you anything..." Xu Feiqiong murmured to herself, turned around and slowly left Rongliyuan. Her back looked so thin and dejected.
Madam Ouyang was stunned, her eyes empty. Everything that had just happened was vividly presented before her, and she was slow to react. "My son, how could he be my son?"
"Madam, madam."
Cuizhi called Mrs. Ouyang several times, but Mrs. Ouyang still did not respond.
She personally helped Madam Ouyang into the house, instructed two maids to take good care of her, and then she rushed to Fengquexuan without stopping.
It is still unknown whether what Aunt Xu said is true, but this matter is of great importance, and the lady is so frightened that someone must come forward to take charge of the situation.
After arriving at Fengquexuan, Cuizhi told Ye Yunlu and his wife everything about how Aunt Xu brought the Fourth Young Master to Madam Ouyang, and said in a crazy manner that the Fourth Young Master was not her biological son, but Madam Ouyang's son, and was switched by the general.
Upon hearing these words, Ye Yunlu and Dugu Lanxi were both shocked, and their first reaction was disbelief.
The couple hurried towards Rongliyuan.
Cuizhi couldn't keep up with Ye Yunlu and his wife, so she went to Guanju Pavilion. Ruhuan was there, and Cuizhi told them the whole story in a concise manner.
The brother and sister's faces were also filled with shock, their expressions were exactly the same as Ye Yunlu and his wife. They immediately turned around and went to Rongliyuan to visit Mrs. Ouyang.
Hua Fushu was equally shocked when she learned that Ye Songyan was Madam Ouyang's biological son, as Ye Zelin had told her. After her shock subsided a little, she didn't bother to verify the truth of the story, but instead asked about Ye Songyan's whereabouts: "Has anyone seen Xiao Si?"
Ye Zelin finally woke up from his dream and realized that he had not seen Ye Songyan for most of the day. He immediately ordered his servants to look for Ye Songyan.
…
The next day, Xu Feiqiong disappeared without a trace, as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth.
Everyone in the family is sick, old, or pregnant. As the only female member in the family who can take charge of things, Dugu Lanxi not only has to take care of the complicated affairs of the house, but also has to take good care of her sick mother-in-law and send people to look for her missing aunt.
A few days later, the servant finally found Xu Feiqiong, who had already become a monk, in a Taoist temple outside the city.
After hearing the news, Ye Songyan hurried to the Taoist temple and saw Xu Feiqiong wearing Zen clothes and twirling Buddhist beads in her hands.
"Mom, don't you really want a child?"
"You are not my biological child, so why should I ask you to accept me or not? Benefactor, my Buddhist name is Jingkong, and I am no longer your mother." Xu Feiqiong looked at Ye Songyan calmly and said softly.
However, Ye Songyan was very stubborn and said firmly: "In my heart, there is only you as my mother."
Xu Feiqiong sighed slightly. She gently moved the Buddhist beads in her hand and said slowly, "Yan'er, there are some things you don't know. In the past, I used every possible means to marry your father. Even my child was calculated. It was because of this that your biological mother was hurt a lot. The grievances between me, your father, and Sister Rongyue have lasted for an entire lifetime..."
At this point, Xu Feiqiong's voice deepened slightly, and she continued, "Now that your father has passed away, I've seen through all the grudges and right and wrong. I've decided to become a monk and spend the rest of my life there."
Ye Songyan looked at Xu Feiqiong who was so determined and begged bitterly: "Mom, no matter what, you are my mother. Please come home with me, okay?"
Xu Feiqiong sighed helplessly, "Yan'er, fate has its limits, and everything in the world has its destiny. I have converted to Buddhism, so please don't force me."
Ye Songyan still didn't give up and continued to persuade: "Mom, Grandpa can't bear to leave you."
A trace of guilt flashed across Xu Feiqiong's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "Take good care of your grandpa."
After saying that, Xu Feiqiong turned and walked into the Taoist temple, no longer paying attention to Ye Songyan.
Ye Songyan stood at the door of the Taoist temple and refused to leave for a long time.
It was already the afternoon of the next day when Ye Zelin and Hua Fushu arrived.
Ye Zelin half-knelt down and looked at Ye Songyan. He looked at his brother who looked gloomy and said softly, "Fourth brother, come home with us."
Ye Songyan only glanced at Ye Zelin. Home? Where did he even have a home?
His mother no longer wants him and he has no home.
Ye Songyan shook his head, "I won't go back, I won't go back, I just want my mother..."
Ye Zelin was helpless. He looked up at Hua Fushu and asked her what to do.
Hua Fushu sighed, supported his waist and bent down, and gave Ye Songyan an injection in the neck with a silver needle, and then took him to the general's mansion.
…
Four months later.
After a day and a night of hard work, Hua Fushu finally gave birth to a son.
She was sweating profusely, with a few strands of hair sticking to her face. Her face was pale, and fatigue was evident between her brows. But when she saw the stone-green swaddling clothes in front of her, her eyes were filled with joy.
"Ye Tingman, we finally waited for you!"
Hua Fushu, a new mother, was extremely happy, but looking at her newborn son, she couldn't help but complain: "He's too ugly, like a little old man."
The baby in the cradle had a red face, wrinkled skin, and a lot of white vernix caseosa on his head. He really looked like a little old man.
Ye Zelin half-knelt, looking at the mother and child, especially the tender baby, his joy was beyond words, and he was filled with joy: "My son is not ugly, all newborn babies are the same. You don't know, when his aunt was born, she was even uglier than him. Our son is considered handsome."
When the child's aunt behind the screen heard this, she almost rolled her eyes and muttered to herself: Is the second brother saying that she is ugly, or is his son ugly?
Hua Fushu said to Ye Zelin with a joyful look on his face, "Go tell your grandfather the good news later."
Ye Zelin carefully picked up his newly born son, his face full of the joy and tenderness of being a new father. He replied softly, "I just asked Side to go to Feiyuan to tell grandfather the good news."
After saying that, he looked down at the cute little guy in his arms, his eyes full of fatherly love and expectation.
"You have a good rest. I'll take my son out to show him to mother and eldest brother."
Hua Fushu nodded, then lay down on the couch with a new mattress. Because she was too tired from giving birth, she fell asleep after Ye Zelin left.
