Chapter 170: The Heartless
Liu Wenzhao returned to the Jin Mansion with full of jealousy and anger, and as soon as he entered the door, he learned that Mrs. Jin was looking for him, so he immediately went back to the house to change into clean and dust-free clothes, and came to the Hibiscus Garden.
"Auntie, are you looking for me?" Liu Wenzhao asked.
Madame Jin raised her eyes to look at him, frowned slightly, and then raised her hand to point to the seat next to her.
Liu Wenzhao sat down leisurely, picked up the teacup and took a shallow sip: "Auntie has been in good health recently?" β
Mrs. Jin remained silent, and just asked lightly, "Wen Zhao, do you have anything to tell me?" β
"Auntie, what do you mean by that?" Liu Wenzhao's eyes flashed, and he looked at Mrs. Jin with a puzzled face while holding a teaglass.
Mrs. Jin looked at him, took his hand for a while, sighed softly, and said slowly: "Wen Zhao, you have grown up...... I remember when you first came to the Golden Mansion, you were only so tall......" she said, gesturing the height with her hand, "and now he has grown into a handsome son." When I was a child, you were so well-behaved, timid, and often cried, and you didn't dare to sleep alone at night, you had to be in my arms to sleep......"
Liu Wenzhao's eyes gradually dimmed, he gently withdrew his hand and took a sip of tea, interrupting: "Auntie, you remember wrong, you were holding the ingots at that time." Every time there is something delicious, always let him eat first, and every time there is a new toy, always let him pick ...... first"
"Wen Zhao, Yuanbao is my son after all, but my aunt also really loves you and Qianqian, if my aunt has something to think about, don't take it to heart."
"Yes, you take care of the ingots in everything and everything, and you gave him everything. And I can only take what he has left. Is it fair that ingots can get everything that I can't get with all the hard work? Originally, I also accepted my fate, he is your son. I'm just your nephew, and you deserve to be partial. Liu Wenzhao smiled coldly, "But now, I know that he is not your son at all, and he has no blood relationship with you!" Why do you want to give everything to this person who is not related to you in the slightest? Why? β
Mrs. Jin didn't expect him to say this suddenly, so she suddenly turned around and turned over the tea bowl in her hand.
Liu Wenzhao stood up. Reaching out and pressing her shoulder, he smiled very kindly: "Auntie, sit down." The gold ingots are not your own, you already know it. I already knew, why should my aunt be so surprised? β
"You...... How do you know? Madame King's lips trembled, and her face was as dead as ashes.
"It doesn't matter how I know." Liu Wenzhao's smile deepened, "I actually just want to see it." When is my aunt going to hide from my biological nephew...... I'll wait, wait, wait. My aunt is still tight-lipped. Auntie, you are so good to Yuanbao, so good that you are willing to bear the big crime of deceiving the king to marry on his behalf. β
After pressing Mrs. Jin to sit down, Liu Wenzhao began to pace in the room with a relaxed face, and said with a smile as he walked: "I used to think that this gold ingot pressed me everywhere. It doesn't matter what is in the house, what is eaten. used, played, the best one must have been picked by him first; My cousin will always be able to obey his orders in front of him, and everyone in the whole house knows that my name is the master, but in fact I am just his steward, his subordinate...... I also admit these, who let him die, the seeds of the old general were sown on the ground of your main house, after all, he is your son, I am your nephew, you want to love your son more, who dares to say no, who can say no? β
Mrs. Jin shook her head while listening: "Wen Zhao, do you really think that I have treated you so badly all these years?" β
"Don't let me think so, aunt!" Liu Wenzhao sighed, "I later learned that this gold ingot is actually just a concubine's cheap seed!" And you, the noble lady of the Liu family, suppressed me everywhere for the son of a concubine, ignored me, and even dragged the whole family into the water at the risk of bullying the king...... My surname is Liu, and you are also surnamed Liu, you say, are you worthy of my father and me? β
Hearing this, Mrs. Jin's heart was extremely cold, she slowly sat upright, straightened her clothes, and her face gradually calmed down: "In your opinion, how should I treat you so that I don't treat you badly as a nephew?" β
As soon as he heard this, Liu Wenzhao burst out laughing, then turned around suddenly, stared at Mrs. Jin viciously, and said, "Of course, you handed over the family business to me and the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau to me!" You don't have a son, I'm your dearest person! You don't pass on your family business to me, but you hold up a worthless gold ingot to the sky! He doesn't have any of your blood in him! β
This remark was obviously like a hammer falling, but it made the whole room silent.
Looking at Liu Wenzhao's almost hideous face, Mrs. Jin became more and more calm: "Jin ingots are the bloodline of my husband, General Jin, and he is a well-deserved heir of the Jin family. β
"Really?" Liu Wenzhao suddenly laughed, "In that case, dare to ask why my aunt hid it from the Queen Mother that day?" β
"The Queen Mother has the consideration of the Queen Mother, and I have to follow her old man's wishes, but the ingots are the bloodline of the Golden Mansion, whether it is a concubine or a concubine, you can't change this no matter what." Mrs. Jin fell into contemplation for a moment, and after a while, she continued, "Yuan Bao has a pure heart and a strong personality, his various perverse arrogances are only on the surface, he is kind and humble in his heart, and only those who have a heart can see it. β
"People with a heart ......"
Before Liu Wenzhao finished speaking, Mrs. Jin interrupted: "You, Liu Wenzhao, are the one who has no heart. You haven't revealed a trace of it for so many years, but Shicai has counted the grievances you have suffered in my house, gritted your teeth, resented and hated, which made my aunt frightened, and if you are so open-minded, I am afraid that no matter where you are, you will feel that you are treated badly? How much of this is really wronged, how much is the demon obstacle in your heart, you have to touch your heart and ask yourself......"
In the face of Mrs. Jin's aggressive accusations, Liu Wenzhao suddenly jumped like thunder and slammed the tea set on the table with one palm: "You shut up for me!" β
Mrs. Jin was unmoved: "I can tell you that in my heart, he is my own son." I have never regretted raising him, and I am proud of him. β
"Really?" Liu Wenzhao sneered, and suddenly hated Mrs. Jin, "Even if he is now with a group of flowers on the street, fighting with people over a piece of steamed buns in the stinky ditch, and living like a dog, are you still proud of him?" β
Madame Kim took a deep breath and slowly straightened her back, but her hands couldn't help but tremble.
"I'm not joking with you, my good aunt, I've seen it with my own eyes. Your proudest son, Jin Ingot, is now a dog wallowing in the mud! ββWould you like to see it with your own eyes? Not far away, right in the mountain temple! β
Mrs. Jin's heart was unbearable, she raised her hand to stroke her chest, took a breath and said, "No matter what he becomes, whether he comes back or not, he is my son." After that, she raised her head, looked straight at Liu Wenzhao's gaze, and said word by word, "Jinfu family business, you don't want to get involved in this life." β
"Huh." Liu Wenzhao smiled lightly, "Auntie, I'm afraid that this can't help you." ββThe gold ingots are out of the house, the jade unicorn is an impostor, your proud gold and jade relationship, none of them are true, you say, the queen mother knows, do you still have a way to live? Do they have a way to live? Auntie, if it weren't for my nephew, I still have a little family affection, you would have been in prison a long time ago! β
Mrs. Jin looked up at Liu Wenzhao, Liu Wenzhao smiled firmly, and Mrs. Jin also smiled slightly: "You are not kind-hearted, you have no evidence." β
Liu Wenzhao was choked, and his face gradually became gloomy.
"All you have is a witness, but Yuanbao's mother would rather die than testify for you for the sake of her son; Yuanbao's lady, Jade Qilin, only has deep affection for him, don't you know these in your own heart? Neither of them will sell ingots. And the Queen Mother, I am afraid that she also believes in me far more than in you. β
"You're willing to kill yourself to protect this bastard. Unfortunately, why didn't you really go? β
"You!" Mrs. Jin's eyes widened in disbelief, "Is it really you who forged a letter to force me to kill myself?" β
"Yes, auntie." Liu Wenzhao's face was taken for granted.
Mrs. Jin stared at Liu Wenzhao for a long time before slowly closing her eyes and saying, "You're crazy." β
"Am I crazy? Maybe. This General's Mansion is a cage of madness, and only the craziest people are entitled to have it!"
Liu Wenzhao said, clapped his palms, and immediately came in outside the door a few sturdy men dressed as servants.
Liu Wenzhao looked at Mrs. Jin and smiled slightly: "Madame is in a bad mood these days and doesn't want to go out, you guys have guarded this courtyard for me, do you know?" β
The men said yes.
"Liu Wenzhao, you dare!" Mrs. Jin opened her eyes suddenly, startled.
"Whoever dares to talk too much, you will cook directly." After Liu Wenzhao finished explaining, he turned back to Mrs. Jin and said, "Auntie, you can wait with peace of mind, I will bring your good son back!" With that, he smiled and went out.
Listening to the laughter that was getting farther and farther away, and looking at the fierce and vicious Liu Wenzhao's minions in front of her, Mrs. Jin's heart became colder and colder.
The maids and ladies were panicked, but Mrs. Jin became more and more calm, and her face slowly calmed down, with only a pair of eyes, revealing a worried gaze. (To be continued......)
