Chapter 88: Tragic Background
Chapter 88: Tragic Background
After Zhang Xuanshi was a general, he was a general in the Zhang Mansion era and made great achievements for the royal family, and the principal of Zhang Mansion was named the overlord by the royal family.
Implement the hereditary system and command the 5 million army of Tianfeng Kingdom. This generation of Batianhou is Zhang Xuan's grandfather.
Zhang Xuan's grandfather has two sons, and his father Zhang Ting is the second son.
As a tyrant, he has a decisive position above the government and the opposition, and he holds military power! With his identity, he will definitely not go to the battlefield in person!
It's just that Tianfeng Kingdom has become more and more unstable over the years, and the border wars have been continuous, so the two sons of the Batianhou have been fighting on the frontier all year round!
Zhang Xuan's mother is actually not from a prominent family, so it can be said that she is ordinary! The door is not right! But she and Zhang Ting are sincerely in love, and finally got married and had Zhang Xuan.
It's just that once you enter the Houmen, you are as deep as the sea, and while you are a nobleman, you also have more responsibilities!
Just like this marriage event, it doesn't mean that you can marry whoever you like, and it's not that you can't marry anyone you don't like if you don't like her!
In order to make the government and the opposition more stable, in order to make the position of the imperial family more stable, it is common for the royal family and ministers to marry!
In order to appease the Batianhou, the royal family even married a princess to Zhang Xuan's uncle!
At the same time, Zhang Ting was also given marriage by the royal family! Polygamy is not uncommon! It is even more common among nobles!
Although Zhang Ting already had Zhang Xuan's mother at this time, the emperor's order could not be violated, and even if he was unwilling, it would not help. Otherwise, it is disobeying the holy decree, and it is the sin of raiding the house and destroying the door!
In desperation, Zhang Ting could only marry her! And Zhang Xuan's mother could only change from the main room to the concubine because of her status!
And the other side is to become the main room!
It's just that Zhang Xuan's mother didn't say anything about this, and she didn't have any dissatisfaction, she was self-aware!
As long as she can be with Zhang Ting, it is enough, what she wants is Zhang Ting's love. As long as Zhang Ting still loves her, she doesn't care about the main room or the side room.
Although Zhang Xuan's mother doesn't care, Zhang Ting cares, but there has always been a knot in his heart, always thinking that he is sorry for Zhang Xuan's mother and owes her!
He led troops to fight outside all the year round, leaving only Zhang Xuan and his mother at home.
Zhang Xuan's mother is generous, but it doesn't mean that others are also generous!
The main room sees them as a thorn in the eye. I hate them to the core, and I am afraid that their mother and son will affect her status and her son's status!
At the same time, what woman wants to share her husband with another woman?
Although she hated Zhang Xuan's mother and son to the core! But she didn't dare to do anything boldly? Zhang Ting fought outside the country all the year round, but he would go home once every Chinese New Year.
If Zhang Ting knew that she abused Zhang Xuan's mother and son, she would naturally not have good fruit to eat!
In the first year of her coming to Zhang's house, Zhang Ting was leading troops to fight outside, and at that time she made things difficult for Zhang Xuan's mother and son.
During the Chinese New Year, when Zhang Ting came back and learned about it, he taught her a hard lesson. After that, she relented a little. can only suppress that hatred in her heart!
The happiest time of the year for Zhang Xuan's mother and son is the Chinese New Year! Because at this time, Zhang Ting will come back and lead them around to play. They love their mother and son very much.
It was only one day that the news of Zhang Ting's unfortunate death in the frontier came back.
Zhang Xuan's mother was devastated! Fortunately, she and his lover had a crystallization! This was her only hope!
And Chen Yixue, who was in the main room, was also very sad about Zhang Ting's death, but after all, her relationship with Zhang Ting was not as deep as Zhang Xuan's mother! At this moment, she was even more jealous of Zhang Xuan's mother and son.
Zhang Ting is not at home all the year round, and finally went home once, but most of the time he is stuck with Zhang Xuan's mother and son. And leave her main room aside!
In her heart, this love should belong to her, because she is the main room! Now that Zhang Xuan's father is dead, she will never have a chance to get this love again, but Zhang Xuan's mother and son have enjoyed it for more than ten years.
The hatred that had been suppressed in her heart finally broke out! She wanted to take revenge, she wanted to make Zhang Xuan's mother and son worse than dead!
And because Zhang Ting has passed away, she is even more unscrupulous! Zhang Xuan's mother and son have no one to rely on.
In this way, the nightmarish life of Zhang Xuan's mother and son began. But they are weak and can't compete with Chen Yixue at all.
At the beginning, Zhang Xuan and the others were just kicked out of their rooms, and they could only live in people's rooms and eat people's meals.
But this is not the end, but just the beginning, later, Zhang Xuan and the others didn't even have a room for their subordinates to live, and they were driven to live in the firewood room.
Zhang Xuan's mother is even more turned to be a subordinate, washing clothes for Chen Yixue and her son, she just wants to humiliate her.
Didn't you use to be very good? Now you're a good cow? Don't you have to wash our mother and son's clothes?
The firewood room in summer is not only stuffy, but also has a lot of mosquitoes, Zhang Xuan and they can't sleep all night because of the heat, and they are all covered by mosquito bites.
They also want to escape, and there is nothing left for them to cherish here, because their father is no more.
But they couldn't escape, there were guards by the gate, and these people were also afraid of Chen Yixue's obscenity. Although I can't get used to her behavior, I can only endure it and dare not speak. didn't dare to let Zhang Xuan and them out.
And the winter is even more unbearable, the mother and son can only sit together together, warm each other's bodies, and shiver from the cold at night.
Their treatment is not as good as that of ordinary subordinates! It can be said that they have suffered a lot! They have been tortured! Life is worse than death!
I thought it was over, but it wasn't! The clothes of the subordinates were also washed by Zhang Xuan's mother, and Zhang Xuan's mother's hands were frozen and rotten.
At this time, Zhang Xuan had just turned ten years old, and he was just a child! But Chen Yixue did not mean to let him go.
His life was not easy, and the work of chopping firewood every day was handed over to him, think about it! At that time, Zhang Xuan was only 10 years old, so how could he have any strength? How could he chop firewood?
It's just that Chen Yixue, a woman with a femme fatale, doesn't care about this! As long as Zhang Xuan can't finish his day's work, then he will be hungry!
And every day they eat the leftover cold rice eaten by the subordinates, and sometimes they don't even eat cold rice. At this time, Zhang Xuan's mother would eat less, and even starved herself to let Zhang Xuan eat enough.
Of course, it's not as simple as being hungry, and when they can't do a good job, they will also be severely beaten by Chen Yixue! They often have scars on their bodies, and they can only work harder in order not to be beaten.
But even so, I was not less beaten, and sometimes even if I did a good job, I still had to be beaten!
Chen Yixue took torturing their mother and son as fun, and if she didn't beat them for a while, she would feel itchy and would deliberately make things difficult for them. For example, the clothes are not clean, etc.
Not only Chen Yixue is like this, but her son inherits his mother's business and often bullies Zhang Xuan and them.
often let Zhang Xuan lie on the ground and ride a horse for himself, for this half-brother, Zhang Xuan can be said to have no good feelings, although he is young, but his heart is extremely vicious!
Qing is better than blue, even worse than Chen Yixue, and often forces his subordinates to bully him together.
But fortunately, Zhang Xuan also has a better brother and aunt, who is his uncle's son and royal princess.
They are very unaccustomed to Chen Yixue's behavior. But after all, the identity of the family is also extremely noble! You can't make enemies with the forces behind Zhang Xuan for the sake of Zhang Xuan's mother and son!
Therefore, although Zhang Xuan's aunt couldn't get used to their behavior, she wouldn't say anything, and could only help Zhang Xuan and them secretly.
But Zhang Xuan's eldest brother is different, he is relatively young, simple-minded! has no scruples! Seeing his second brother being bullied, he is extremely angry, although the other is also his younger brother, but he will stand on Zhang Xuan's side.
Sometimes he would beat that little brother, and he was beaten by Zhang Xuan's eldest brother, and Zhang Xuan's younger brother could only walk away in disgrace.
It's just that he will come over soon, and take revenge on Zhang Xuan even more crazily, of course, Zhang Xuan will not tell his eldest brother about these things, he also knows that his eldest brother is out of good intentions, and he doesn't want to make more trouble for his eldest brother.
And that doesn't work, because if his eldest brother comes over and teaches his younger brother one more time, then after he is gone, his younger brother will come back.
For the eldest brother's affection, Zhang Xuan firmly remembered in his heart, and he would definitely repay the eldest brother in the future.
