Chapter 216: Cause and Effect Over the Years
Mo Yi's voice was gloomy: "My mother passed away when I was very young...... I can't remember my mother's face at all...... Since I grew up, you and my father have never mentioned anything about my mother to me, and for so many years, I have only been able to go to my mother's grave to worship one or two times every year...... Every time I asked my father, he always talked about him left and right, and he refused to explain it to me......"
"Mo Yi, my mother's identity is special, don't blame the eldest brother, let alone the father. Because it's more complicated than you think. Shen Peifeng let out a long sigh, "If you can, I'd rather you never know the truth." ”
"Motherhood is special? What's so special? Mo Yihe smiled bitterly, his eyes filled with tears, "Just because my mother is the daughter of the city lord of Wucheng and a person from Nanchi, did you and your father hide it from me?" ”
"Mo Yi, I know that you must be uncomfortable in your heart, I can understand your feelings, just like I was in the same mood when I first knew that I still had the identity of Feng Wumian. The feeling of wandering and helplessness was as if I had fallen into an icy lake all of a sudden. I still remember that winter day when the snow was falling, it was very cold, it was very cold, even if I sat by the brazier around the fox fur, the chill was cold to my heart......"
Seeing Shen Peifeng's blank and lonely expression, Mo Yi's heart suddenly hurt, and he couldn't help but whisper: "Big brother......"
Shen Peifeng was silent for a long time before he slowly calmed down the emotions in his heart, and his handsome face returned to a quiet and indifferent appearance, and said warmly: "Big brother is fine, everything has passed, we won't tell you because my mother's identity is not only from Nanchi, but because the Feng family in Wucheng is actually the descendant of the wizard family that disappeared from Nanchi a hundred years ago." ”
"A descendant of the wizard family?!" Mo Yi was obviously shocked, "What the hell is going on?!" ”
Shen Peifeng didn't answer him immediately, but motioned for him to sit down first, and then slowly re-explained what happened a hundred years ago to Mo Yi in detail.
"It turns out that Brother Qi is the successor of the Black Feather Order."
"Maybe it's providence, you secretly ran out to join the army, met Ah Yu by chance, and were lucky enough to learn the Flying Cloud Gun, it seems that there has been an arrangement in the dark for a long time."
Mo Yi was silent for a while, then raised his head and asked softly, "You and your father don't agree with me to practice martial arts and join the army, is it also related to this?" ”
Shen Peifeng nodded solemnly: "It's indeed because of this." My father and I did everything possible to prevent you from practicing martial arts, and tried our best to prevent you from joining the army. I am afraid that one day, you and I will meet on the battlefield. At that time, if the black feather order is not issued, and we are each our master, will our brothers really want to fight each other and kill each other? If that were the case, Mother's spirit in heaven would not rest in peace! ”
"But, big brother, since you don't want to have the identity of Feng Wumian, why did you still take over the position of the city lord of Wucheng against your will, is there anything else in this?"
"This ...... I'm afraid it goes back to the day when my father and mother first met. Shen Peifeng said slowly, "My father was still very young at that time, and the Shen family's shops were all over the place, and when he went out to inspect the shops, he encountered a robber who blocked the road and robbed, and he was still seriously injured under the desperate protection of the servants, and he happened to be rescued by his mother who went out of the city and brought back to Wucheng... Since then, the two have fallen in love with each other. Later, when my father recovered from his injuries, he proposed to my grandfather and asked to marry my mother into the Shen family, but my grandfather put forward a condition that made my father extremely difficult......"
Shen Peifeng suddenly paused when he said this, and Mo Yi couldn't help frowning and asked, "What conditions did Grandpa propose?" ”
"At that time, my grandfather only had one daughter under his mother's knees, and there was no male in the Feng family, so my grandfather meant to let my father join the Feng family and live in Wucheng for a long time. Otherwise, don't want your mother to marry your father. ”
"And what about later? Did my father say yes? ”
Naturally, my father didn't agree, not because my father didn't love my mother, but because my father was also the only male in the Shen family. So my father left Wucheng with hatred, and after returning to Jian'an, he became sick and bedridden, and in just half a month, he was already skinny and dying. Seeing that his father's life was about to be guaranteed, his mother suddenly appeared at this time, and when she saw her mother, her father's condition improved more and more, and he was able to get out of bed and move in a few days. ”
But at this moment, my grandfather sent someone to chase after Jian'an, and he was about to bring his mother back to Wucheng. Only then did my father know that my mother had secretly come to Jian'an without telling my grandfather. What shocked my father even more was that my mother disregarded her own reputation, saying that she and her father were already husband and wife, and they already had their father's flesh and blood, and she wanted her to go back and marry again, and she would rather die. ”
When the visitor heard this, he naturally didn't dare to come hard, so he immediately hurried back to Wucheng and conveyed all his mother's words to his grandfather. When my grandfather heard this, he was furious and rushed to Jian'an in person and came to Shen's house. And then ...... Later, my mother came up with a way to do both, so that my father didn't have to join the Feng family, and he could marry his mother and stay together......"
When Shen Peifeng said this, his voice was suddenly a little low, and his tone was not as calm as at the beginning, obviously touching something he didn't want to think about in his heart.
Mo Yi had already understood seven or eight points in his heart at this time, looked at Shen Peifeng and asked in a trembling voice, "Could it be that the method that my mother thought of was ...... It's ......"
"Yes," Shen Peifeng's eyes were slightly red, "Mother said...... She was willing to give her first child the surname of the Feng family...... As the heir of the Feng family, he will inherit the position of the lord of Wucheng City and continue the incense for the Feng family...... So, before I was born, I was already the ...... who was abandoned."
As soon as Mo heard this, there was a sore pain in his chest, looking at the closed eyes of the man in front of him, a silent look, and he wanted to open his mouth to comfort something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
It turns out that this is the truth of the year, it turns out that this is the origin of the identity of the eldest brother Feng Wumian, and it turns out that over the years, the bitterness in the heart of the eldest brother is something that no one can understand......
"Big Brother ......"
Mo Yi slowly stood up, slowly walked to Shen Peifeng's side, and gave him a deep hug. If he remembers correctly, this is the first time he has hugged his eldest brother in seventeen years, right?
Since he was a child, he remembered that his eldest brother was better than him in everything, and he was better looking than him, and his father called his eldest brother into the house alone every time, and when he spoke, he was old for a long time, and when he went happily, the two didn't say anything.
Although his father was also very good to him, he just felt that his father had something to hide from him, and the eldest brother must know the inside story of this matter, but he didn't expect it to be such an unacceptable thing.
For as long as he can remember, the eldest brother has always been that breezy and gentle appearance, and he has never even seen the eldest brother lose his temper once. How did the eldest brother survive all these years?
Shen Peifeng, homonym Shen Yuanfeng, does it mean that the Shen family wants to pay another heir to the Feng family? Grandpa actually gave his eldest brother such a name, is it to let him always remember that he is a member of the Feng family?
When the eldest brother knew the truth, he didn't know how sad he was, but he suddenly understood why the eldest brother had been like that all these years, as if everything in the world couldn't enter his eyes. But in fact, in the eldest brother's heart, it turned out that he just didn't care......
