The peach and plum do not speak, and the next is its own.

That was the first time Cheng Yan saw Cheng Jinzhi's biological mother, Qin Yanqi.

Although it was only a glimpse of the first meeting, her lively and beautiful shadow was deeply engraved in his heart, making him unforgettable for a long time.

Later, he learned that Qin Yanqi was a native of Jiangsu, Jiangsu, and Hangzhou, and had just followed his father to report on his work in Beijing, and would be resident in the capital from now on.

is a knowledgeable and gifted, ingenious lady, but different from traditional women.

In particular, her embroidery skills are the best in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

In the days that followed, because Gu Xun also settled in the capital, the three of them became friends since that Pingshui meeting, and often went out to enjoy the scenery and play together, drinking and talking.

Those days were also the most beautiful and unforgettable time in Cheng Yan's memory.

However, as time went by, Cheng Yan found that he became more and more attached to this outstanding woman, and it was difficult to give up.

On Qin Yanqi's nineteenth birthday, just when he finally wanted to make up his mind to express his heart to him......

suddenly found that she and Gu Hanqing's father, Gu Xun, seemed to be closer than when she was in contact with herself.

Until one day, he saw these two people hugging each other tightly, and suddenly, he only felt that something in his heart that he had cherished and guarded for a long time was smashed all at once.

One is his best friend, and the other is his most beloved woman.

Faced with the relationship between the two of them, Cheng Yan was not only surprised, but suddenly felt a sense of anger that he had been betrayed.

I can't convince myself to give up and forgive like this.

Maybe it's because he was born noble since he was a child, and he never wanted anything that would be out of reach and unobtainable.

He seemed to see Qin Yanqi as a fleeing prey, and told himself that no matter what, he had to keep her for himself.

Because of this, driven by this strong **, Cheng Yan did something that he regretted the most in his life.

"Later, your grandfather was affected by the sensational "Qinghe Case" and became a rebellious minister and thief in the eyes of His Majesty. Overnight, the entire Taishou Mansion was raided and questioned, and no one was spared. Your mother, naturally, has also become the daughter of a criminal minister who can never raise her head. ”

Facing Cheng Jinzhi, who was stunned when he heard it in front of him, Cheng Yan still concealed the real truth, and couldn't tell her after all, in fact, Qin Yanqi's father was innocent at all, and the reason why he was implicated was that he was secretly framed by himself.

"Your Majesty is so angry that if anyone pleads for mercy on those involved in this case, he will be punished for the same crime and will not be tolerated. Even though I had established myself in the DPRK at that time, there was nothing I could do. But even so, I naturally can't watch your mother fall on death row like this. Therefore, even if I can't save your grandfather, I still tried my best to use the death row prisoner to change your mother from death row at the first time, and then let her change her name and surname, and marry into the Cheng family as an ordinary woman and become the third aunt. Only by staying in the Yasukuni Mansion can she be safe forever. ”

"That's... What about Hanqing's father? Since he and my mother... Then why can you still watch her marry another man?"

Cheng Jinzhi forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and asked, never expecting that his mother would have such an unknown old relationship with Gu Hanqing's father.

"At that time, your Uncle Gu was in the far south of Xinjiang because of business. Speaking of which, it was really a joke of God, at that time, it coincided with a major natural disaster in southern Xinjiang, and then news came that he died unexpectedly in the natural disaster. Your mother was naturally grief-stricken, but she was homeless and helpless at that time, so she agreed to marry into the Cheng family. ”

Cheng Yan said with a sad expression, his gaze seemed to break through time and fell on a distant point on the other side.

At the same time, a bitter and self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Now that I think about it, she agreed to marry me at that time, it should have been just out of gratitude, right?"

But in fact, it is true that the sudden natural disaster in southern Xinjiang is true, but the news of Gu Hanqing's death in southern Xinjiang was deliberately fabricated by him and deliberately revealed to Qin Yanqi.

"Later, the result can be imagined, your Uncle Gu came back safely, and your mother also regretted it. Although Gu Xun knew that it was me who saved your mother in a moment of crisis, so he voluntarily chose to let go, but your mother was unwilling. ”

Cheng Yan frowned and sighed as he spoke, as if the long-hidden scar in the depths of his heart had been re-revealed, and his eyebrows were filled with a heart-wrenching sadness.

"I tried so hard to help her, I really couldn't bear it, when she faced me, she pretended to be another man in her heart every minute. Especially when your mother became three months pregnant soon after she entered the house, I felt even more ......"

"You feel even more that I am not your child, but Uncle Gu's ......"

Cheng Jinzhi's chest suddenly froze when he said this, and a scene flashed in front of his eyes with his mother's indifferent expression when she faced Cheng Yan. In her heart, she felt a storm surging in an instant, making her a little overwhelmed for a while.

"That's right, that's why, when I knew that you and Hanqing were in love, and even wanted to tie the knot, even if I knew you

The eldest lady wanted to use secret means, but there was no reason to stop it. ”

Cheng Yan looked at Cheng Jinzhi with a deep expression, although there was a look of guilt in his eyes, he also did not say that when Qin Yanqi entered the mansion back then, he was actually not as indifferent to Cheng Yan as Cheng Jinzhi saw.

It's just that after experiencing the great changes in the family and the heavy blows from her lover, she seems to have been judged as two.

He never showed the same radiant and pleasing smile as he did when he first saw him.

And one day, she unexpectedly learned all the truth about the person she married, who framed her father in order to get her......

At that time, Qin Yanqi was already afraid of ashes and was in pain, only because he cared about the fetus that had already taken shape in his womb, so he did not choose revenge.

Instead, he endured humiliation and burdens, survived like a walking corpse.

She hated Cheng Yan, but she also hated herself for being blinded, and she chose to believe in the enemy who ruined her family, and married him and conceived his child.

From then on, no matter how Cheng Yan gave her affection, how he was obedient and caring for her.

Even if she suspected that Cheng Jinzhi was not her biological daughter, she held it in the palm of her hand to care for and pamper her.

But no matter what he did, Qin Yanqi was indifferent, turned a blind eye, and would never be moved again.

Gradually, Cheng Yan hated because of love, and began to lose patience with her heart, no longer as cold and warm as before, and was considerate.

Even when he saw their mother and daughter being bullied by the Zhang family and the Liu family, and even the subordinates in the house, he chose to remain silent.

It wasn't until Cheng Jinzhi was nine years old that Qin Yanqi finally became ill and died with hatred......
