Chapter 589: The exiled female prisoner with two bodies (24)
But in fact, Lan Shichu did not intend to divorce Gong Liangsubai. She could be a widower, but she could not divorce. After all, her son still needed a good stepping stone to give him a higher starting point in life. Gong Liangsubai only played this role. Lan Shichu would not hand him over to Wen Shinong when she could reap the benefits in a few years.
As the mother and son were chatting and laughing, they were getting closer and closer to Gong Liang Sibai and Wen Shi Nong.
Gong Liang Subai was the first to discover them. His expression when he first saw the mother and son was one of shock. When he realized who was standing in front of him, he even felt guilty.
"You, why are you two here?" He couldn't even speak clearly.
"We ran here on horseback." The one who answered him was Gong Liangcongyun.
"Brother, who are these two?" Wen Shi Nong looked at Lan Shi Chu with an inquiring look. Lan Shi Chu could sense her hostility towards him without looking at her carefully. It was obvious that she was not unaware of her and her son's identities. This was interesting. Could it be that she had been paying attention to Gong Liang Si Bai's wife and children? After all, she had only returned to Beijing not long ago.
Gong Liang Sibai touched his nose and said uncomfortably, "Junior Sister Wen, this is my wife and my son." Then he turned to Lan Shichu and Gong Liang Congyun, "This is the daughter of my teacher when I was studying at the Imperial Academy."
"Dad, this is the one you love. Are you going to divorce my mother for her?" Gong Liangcongyun suddenly said something that instantly broke the calm expressions of Gong Liang Sibai and Wen Shi Nong.
Gong Liangsubai was caught off guard by his words and was so shocked that he couldn't control the expression on his face. When he realized what was going on, he immediately shook his head to deny it: "No, no, where did you hear that from? Your mother and I have no intention of getting a divorce..."
When Wen Shi Nong heard his words, she felt even more ashamed and angry. Her pretty face flushed red, and she complained with red eyes: "Young Master, what are you talking about? I have no other relationship with your father. We just met once. Don't misunderstand me. I already have a husband. What will others think of me if they hear what you said? What reputation do I have?"
Wow, a man and a woman met here by chance, and both of them "coincidentally" did not bring any followers with them. What a coincidence! Lan Shichu could not help but despise them in his heart. They dared to do it but not to take responsibility for it.
"Auntie, you and my dad are alone here together, so you have no reputation to protect, right? And my mom and I happened to see us." Gong Liangcongyun said like a child.
Gong Liang Sibai suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed as if he had been stripped naked and put on display. Being seen by his wife and children meeting his old lover, there was no way he could wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River, right? Although he really wasn't meeting Wen Shi Nong privately, this was really a coincidence.
"Madam, please believe me, I really just happened to meet Junior Sister Wen. I have no other relationship with her anymore." Gong Liang Sibai explained helplessly.
Lan Shichu looked at him and said, "I hope you'll pay attention. After all, you and I haven't divorced yet. If you do this, it will embarrass Gong Liang and Cong Yun. If you don't want others to misunderstand you, you have to learn to avoid suspicion. What do you think?"
Gong Liangshubai choked. He just met Wen Shinong by chance. After seeing him, Wen Shinong told him that her father, Gong Liangshubai's former teacher, was not in good health. As a student, he naturally had to ask about it after knowing it. Didn't this lead to a few more words of conversation?
What a pity, he thought he met Wen Shi Nong by chance, but he didn't know that Wen Shi Nong deliberately "ran into" him here.
After Wen Shi Nong married one of her admirers, her married life was not as good as she had imagined. Although she married into a wealthy family, her mother-in-law looked down on her, her sisters-in-law often mocked her, and her elder and younger sisters-in-law always found fault with her... With all the intrigue going on all day long, it would be strange if this kind of life was not tiring.
Moreover, the husband who always claimed that he admired her and would treat her well for the rest of her life, soon had other women after the passion of their honeymoon wore off, which was a big blow to the proud Wen Shi Nong.
Since her marriage was unhappy, she naturally thought of Gong Liang Sibai, with whom she once loved.
At this time, Gong Liang Sibai has restored his family's honor and status, and has become a close minister to the current emperor. He has a promising future. How could Wen Shi Nong, who is depressed because of her unhappy life, not miss him?
Therefore, she took advantage of the emperor's autumn hunting and followed her husband to the hunting ground, wanting to see Gong Liang Sibai again.
But he didn't know that just when he was about to start expressing his love, he was seen by the man's legal wife and son.
Wen Shi Nong saw Lan Shichu's eyes that seemed to see through everything, and her face suddenly felt hot. Finally, she was so embarrassed that she could no longer bear it, so she suddenly covered her face, stomped her feet, and quickly fled from here.
Lan Shichu stared at the sound of her running in amazement, and then said to Gong Liang Sibai: "I didn't expect your junior sister to be in good health and run so fast."
Gong Liang Sibai was also stunned. He didn't expect Wen Shi Nong to run away suddenly. Isn't this confessing himself?
Gong Liang opened his mouth in vain, and suddenly didn't know how to explain to his wife and children that he and Wen Shi Nong really had no relationship beyond common sense.
Lan Shichu and Gong Liangcongyun had no interest in listening to his explanation. Seeing that the heroine had run away, the two of them said goodbye to Gong Liang: "Shouldn't you pay attention to the safety of the hunting ground? Go patrol quickly and don't delay the business."
After saying this, without waiting for his answer, the mother and son led the horse away.
Gong Liangshibai looked at their backs, smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling that he was becoming increasingly unable to explain himself.
After that, Gong Liang Sibai was probably busy again and had no time to return to Lan Shichu's tent. Then Lan Shichu took his son to hunt.
Because they were in the royal hunting grounds, both of them had to restrain themselves and could not act as recklessly as they did in the exile land. Although they could not run around, hunting was extremely easy. Even Gongliang Subai, a little guy who was not even as tall as a man's waist, easily hunted several kinds of prey.
"Mom, hunting here is much easier than in our village." Gong Liang Congyun said happily to Lan Shichu while holding his small bow and arrow, "Look, I can hunt so many preys. I am even better than my big brother and big sister!"
Lan Shichu did not have the heart to tell him that this was the royal hunting ground and there would naturally be more prey. The more prey there were, the higher the chance of catching them. Besides, it was hard to say whether the prey was wild or not.
Let this little guy be proud for a few days. When he grows up in a few years, he will know what the royal hunting ground is.
"Great, great." Lan Shichu said perfunctorily.
