The door of the simple and narrow main hall was crowded with a fierce crowd, the tall and dignified Zheng Lanting and the personable eldest son Zheng Heng stood proudly side by side in the front, behind them were more than ten strong and eager nurses, and there were groups of maids and healthy women in the garden not far away, and most of the people's eyes flashed with schadenfreude and disdain.

Zheng Yi came to the front of the dimly lit main hall step by step, gently pushed away his little brother Xu Maofu, who was leaning towards him and was about to fight, whispered a few words to Xu Bo and his wife who were standing on the other side, turned his head and took two steps forward, and calmly looked at Zheng Lanting with a gloomy face.

The atmosphere inside and outside the house was suddenly solemn and silent.

After more than a minute of heart-wrenching silence, Zheng Lanting's closed lips squirmed disorderly with anger, and his neat and beautiful beard trembled frequently with the pulling of facial muscles: "Kneel!" ”

The sudden roar shook everyone's hearts, but Zheng Yi didn't move, and Zheng Lanting, who was embarrassed and angry, could no longer control his emotions, stepped forward and slapped Zheng Yi's calm face.

The crisp slap frightened the screams inside and outside the house, and Zheng Yi, who was staggered, did not wipe the blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, nor did he cover his rapidly reddened and swollen face, but returned to his original position again in a pair of panicked eyes, stared at Zheng Lanting quietly and said something deafening:

"If you want to fight, just continue, otherwise you won't have a chance after today, and every time you slap you, the little debt and guilt left in my heart will be diminished by one point."

The anger on Zheng Lanting's face instantly froze, and the anger quickly subsided, staring at the tall and thin son in front of him with blank eyes, as if looking at a stranger.

Seeing this, Zheng Yi sighed quietly, looked at Zheng Lanting's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Originally, I planned to wait a while to bid farewell to you, but now it is easier, I want to take this opportunity to say a few words to you: since I was sensible, I haven't seen you a few times a year, and every time I meet, you don't talk to me more than ten words, these days I have repeatedly recalled, thought and thought, and finally I still can't remember when the last time you hugged me, you look at the room in front of you, look inside and outside the house, your servants are probably better than here, If people outside knew that the second young master of the Zheng family lived in such a place, I don't know how they would feel? ”

"Shut up! As the Son of Man, what right do you have to be resentful? What qualifications do you have to speak out? Lao Tzu Zheng Lanting didn't speak, his son Zheng Heng had already scolded loudly, in his mind, Zheng Yi, who was a concubine and a humble biological mother, was not qualified to complain at all.

Zheng Yi didn't even look at Zheng Heng, stared into Zheng Lanting's eyes, and continued: "I don't want to make enemies with anyone, and you don't have to be difficult for me anymore, I am a burden and a superfluous person in this family, this does not need to be confirmed by anyone, you can see everything just from the disdainful eyes of those family maids." ”

"Many times I think that the greatest meaning of my existence may be to be despised and bullied by your wives and children, since you hate me and despise me like this, why don't you let me get away and be out of sight?"

"So, I decided to leave this home, to leave this city that has never made me happy, so that it is good for everyone, and you don't have to be angry with me and worry about me when everything is right, although by blood, you are my father, you have supported me for eighteen years, and you have paid for me to study at the Erudite Academy next door for ten years, but I have not given you anything in return, it is indeed my fault."

"However, you should also know that I have no ability to give you a return now, and you have never given me a chance, so I can only wait for the opportunity to talk about it later, Taoism pays attention to the cycle of heaven and Taoism, and Buddhism pays attention to karma, although I don't believe in it very much, but I firmly believe that there will always be a day when you will be rewarded, and this day will not be too far away!"

"Okay, I've said everything I want to say, if you still want to hit me, please continue."

Zheng Yi's words were not loud, but they shocked everyone present, and for a while, the atmosphere seemed extremely weird and heavy, so heavy that it made people's hearts beat faster and their breathing disordered.

Zheng Lanting's father and son were even more unbearable, they only felt that their hearts were in turmoil, and they were cold all over their bodies, and they couldn't believe that Zheng Yi, who was originally submissive, had become so sharp and scathing, so humble and not arrogant.

Before the Zheng family father and son recovered from the extreme shock, Zheng Yi had already turned around and walked silently to the inner room, Xu Bo and his wife were stunned and hurriedly chased in, but Xu Maofu, who was strong and strong, snorted coldly, took a few steps back, and stood in the main hall, his red eyes constantly scanning everyone inside and outside the door, as if he was ready to fight to the death with the people who rushed in.

After a long time, Zheng Lanting let out a long sigh of frustration, lowered his head and turned away weakly, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old suddenly.

Zheng Heng then came back to his senses, glared at Xu Maofu with resentful eyes, bent down, respectfully helped his father out of the door, and before he arrived in the courtyard, he heard him scold angrily: "What are you standing here for?" I don't care about you! Get out of here! ”

The cold wind in the backyard was silent again, except for a few muffled conversations and the sound of moving animals from time to time in the narrow courtyard in the northwest corner.

Two hours later, Zheng Yi and Uncle Xu's family packed their luggage, Aunt Xu wiped her tears while carefully looking inside and outside the house where she had lived for more than ten years, Uncle Xu sighed beside his wife, Zheng Yi and Xu Maofu had no nostalgia for everything here, discussed a few words in a low voice, and then each carried a heavy burden and carried four large rattan boxes and suitcases into the yard.

Uncle Xu and his wife finally calmed down, returned to the courtyard to lift their burdens, followed behind the two sons who carried them on their shoulders, walked forward silently, passed through the west corridor in turn into the wide and beautiful front yard, and did not stop under the gaze of dozens of pairs of complicated eyes of the Zheng family, bypassed the tall and exquisite shadow wall, walked out of the gate of the Zheng Mansion from among several dodgy porters and family members, and went south without turning around when they went out of the alley, and soon called four rickshaws and rushed straight to the passenger terminal in the east.

In the spacious and luxurious main hall of the Zheng family's compound, there was already endless crying and scolding at this moment, and Zheng Lanting, the head of the family on the main throne, seemed to have been hit hard, his face was sad, and his eyes were dull.

None of the daughters who were unwilling to be aggrieved in their hearts did not dare to cry loudly, and the usually high-spirited young master Zheng Heng did not dare to be a little presumptuous, but also endured full of resentment, and kept comforting the angry and crying mother, several lively and lovely petite children were frightened by this unusual atmosphere, and obediently snuggled in their respective mothers' arms and did not dare to be naughty anymore.

The fourth aunt, who had studied the most knowledgeable and favored, quietly came to her husband and sat down, saw that the tea on the coffee table had become cold, and whispered to the maid to change into hot tea, put her arm around her husband, and comforted her softly:

"Darling, don't be sad, since he doesn't want to stay in this house any longer, it's a good thing to leave, no matter where you go, it's still your son, and one day he will understand your hard work."

Zheng Lanting shook his head slightly, and muttered quite self-deprecatingly: "You don't know, how indifferent the words he said were, like an awl piercing my heart, I slapped him, but he replied to me with cold and mean words, which made me feel guilty and embarrassed, like a slap in my face!" ”

"After experiencing life and death, he has changed, he has become unrecognizable, he is no longer the son who always hung his head and was submissive, and I don't know when he had so many scheming, when he accumulated so much resentment, sad!"

The fourth aunt smiled too much: "Don't think so, a child of Zheng Yi's age is more or less rebellious, maybe he doesn't know what he did at all, one day he will regret what he did, and it's not too late for you to teach him a lesson slowly." ”

"No, no! You're not there, you don't know, you don't feel as much as I do, he's a completely different person, and I don't know him at all. ”

Zheng Lanting sighed faintly again, took a sip of the hot tea sent by the maid, put down the teacup and grieved: "I have a hunch, a very strong premonition, I have lost this son, and he will never call me father again in this life, and he will never walk into this house again." ”

The fourth aunt trembled in her heart: "It won't be so serious, maybe you're too sad, take a rest, maybe you will get better after sleeping." ”

Zheng Lanting waved his hand again and again, and turned to his beloved concubine with a disappointed face: "I may really be wrong, I shouldn't blame him for his mother's death, I have never paid attention to him for so many years, and I have never really cared about him, which caused today's evil result, my heart hurts...... None of us have been waiting to see him for so many years, let alone know him, judging from his performance today, his knowledge and courage, his indescribable city and self-confidence, far beyond our imagination, we all underestimate him! ”

The fourth aunt's eyes widened in disbelief: "This ...... How is that possible? ”

Zheng Lanting leaned heavily on the back of the chair, let out a long breath, full of melancholy: "Over the years, have you seen anyone who can overwhelm me in momentum and make me feel depressed and powerless?" But today I experienced it firsthand, very uncomfortable, very embarrassed, alas...... I'm tired now, I'm really tired, don't bother me, I'm going to rest and think about it. ”
