Chapter 168
Huo Yunyao looked at Zhu Maosheng rushing over, her eyes filled with hatred. That damned little brat!
She didn't like him when she thought he was her own son.
Now that they know he is the bastard child of Zhu Yunxian and Du Qiuniang, they hate him even more.
Thinking of this, Huo Yunyao's eyes instantly turned bloodshot as she glared at Zhu Maosheng; his existence was a disgrace to her.
Thinking of this, Huo Yunyao rushed forward and grabbed Zhu Maosheng's thin neck.
"Mother?" Zhu Maosheng looked at Huo Yunyao with a hoarse voice, somewhat at a loss. He didn't understand why his mother was treating him this way.
My mother didn't like him before, but she never laid a hand on me.
Was it because he was pleading for his father?
However, thinking of how kind his father had always been to him, he didn't want anything to happen to his father.
"Second sister, what are you doing? Why make things difficult for the child?" Without thinking, Huo Yunxuan stepped forward and pried Huo Yunyao's hands off.
In his view, no matter what, Zhu Maosheng was his second sister's child, and no matter how despicable Zhu Yunxian was, he couldn't take his anger out on the child.
Huo Yunyao felt bitter watching her younger brother defend that bastard. She wanted to say that it wasn't her child, but with so many people watching, she still wanted to save face for herself.
He gritted his teeth and didn't reveal Zhu Maosheng's background.
"Cough! Cough!" Zhu Maosheng coughed a few times. He was very scared when he saw Huo Yunyao like this. However, when he glanced at his father being supported by someone, he mustered up his courage and knelt down next to Huo Yunyao.
"Mother!" Zhu Maosheng looked at Huo Yunyao pleadingly.
Huo Yunyao kicked Zhu Maosheng away in disgust the moment his hand touched the hem of her dress, and angrily said, "Get out!"
Caught off guard, Zhu Maosheng was thrown out by Huo Yunyao's merciless kick.
"Maosheng!" Du Qiuniang broke free from the servants who were holding her and went straight to pick up Zhu Maosheng.
“Sister, if you’re angry, take it out on me. It was shameless of me to covet your husband, but Maosheng is innocent. He’s your own flesh and blood. How could you be so heartless? He’s still just a child!” Du Qiuniang knelt beside him, holding Zhu Maosheng, and said with heartache.
Zhu Maosheng looked at Du Qiuniang, who was crying like a baby, with some confusion. He didn't understand why she was so sad when he was injured.
But now, nestled in Du Qiuniang's warm embrace, he felt an overwhelming longing. He had never experienced what it felt like to be held by his mother, and if he had, it wouldn't have been from her.
However, he still hoped that this embrace could hold him a little longer.
Huo Yunyao was almost amused by Du Qiuniang's words.
How can this be my own child?
This is clearly the bastard child born from the collusion of those two despicable women!
Do they really want me to raise this bastard for them?
Do they even deserve it?
"Oh dear, although Madam Du's character isn't great, she still cares about children and is kind-hearted."
A lady, watching Du Qiuniang rush out to protect her child without regard for anything else, said with some emotion.
