Chapter 463: Shouldn't be so indifferent
Chapter 463 Shouldn't be so indifferent
"At that time, I advised your mother to abort the child. After all, she was retired and had a child out of wedlock. If it was spread, her life would be over. But she insisted on giving birth to you. She was very stubborn and let me persuade her, but she just refused to listen. In the end, there was no way, so she could only place her first..."
He kept talking about his wife's trouble, and the pain of the capital was so bad that she was hiding like a turtle and giving birth to a child.
"When I gave birth to you, it was a disaster for her. At that time, an old lady hired an old lady to take care of her. The old lady came to report that she was dysfunctional and could not give birth to a child. My wife wanted to take the child and hated her. So she went to the yard in person and told Wenpo, "Adults don't protect you, only protect your child. Wenpo gave you a harsh medicine. You were born, but your mother was bleeding heavily and almost died. My wife took the child away, and she didn't care about her life or death. Later, she didn't know where Mrs. Jingguohou learned the news and arrived in time, which saved your mother's life."
Chen Mu listened in a daze, feeling unspeakable discomfort in his heart, and felt his face wet. When he reached out to wipe it, he felt tears in his face.
"How did she...afterward?" Chen Mu asked in a trembling voice.
"She disappeared later, but she would come back to see me once a year and meet you once. When you were five years old, she said you were already sensible and could not see you again."
Mr. Chen looked at Chen Mu in pain, "Mu'er, it's not that she's cruel to leave you, it's that she can't do anything about it. She said she can't let you bear the reputation of an illegitimate child."
Chen Mu was confused, and the woman's face kept popping up in his mind, and a burst of bitterness appeared in his heart.
"She doesn't want to recognize me, right?" Chen Mu asked.
Mr. Chen looked at him, "How come he doesn't want to recognize his son as a mother? She doesn't want to recognize him, but she is afraid of hindering your future and not disturbing your life."
"How could she be Chen Jinning's adopted mother?" Chen Mu was really puzzled.
"That year, Zhen gave birth to Chen Jinning and died of dysfunction. She and Zhen had originally had handkerchiefs. Chen Jinning was not welcomed by the princess and wanted to send it to the village in Qingzhou. She followed her to take care of Chen Jinning. She said that the child without a mother was very hard, and she could not take care of her own children, so she went to take care of her friend's daughter, which was also a kind of compensation."
Chen Mu looked at him with gratitude flashing in his eyes, "Father, for so many years, you have been blamed by your mother and have been infamous for you."
"I got such a well-behaved and sensible son for no reason. How could it be my great blessing?" Mr. Chen looked at him, "Now you know that I am not your biological father, what are your plans?"
"You are my father, you will be my whole life." Chen Mu said confidently.
Mr. Chen shivered tears and his lips trembled slightly, "Okay, good son."
"Let's clarify this matter with your mother. If you don't explain it clearly, there will always be a thorn in your mother's heart, and you will always be in trouble." Chen Mu said.
Mr. Chen looked at him with relief, "If you want, just say it."
"Let's go back and let's explain it to my mother." Chen Mu stood up, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
His life story has troubled him for a long time.
Although he gradually became clear afterwards, he also wanted to know who his mother was. Now that he solved his doubts, he felt relieved.
The father and son walked out side by side.
Mrs. Chen’s heart is full of mixed feelings today.
There is happiness and sadness.
That was the child she raised was raised by herself. She had been raised by her side since she was born. She had worked hard to raise her, and the mother-son relationship had long been planted.
Although she has always been partial to her daughter and has a thorn in her son, because her son was born to a woman outside, she still feels very uncomfortable when she thinks of his betrayal.
But no matter how uncomfortable she felt, she couldn't give up her son. It was a real mother-son relationship that lasted for more than 20 years.
So, she was very happy that her son was reinstated.
However, she felt sad.
Because since he was dismissed and his life experience was exposed, his son gradually became alienated from her.
She tried to explain several times, but her son made excuses to change the topic.
Especially today she ordered people to prepare a sumptuous meal when he came back, but the servants in the mansion said that he had come out of the palace and did not come in at the door, so he turned around and left.
She knew that her son was angry with her.
She was angry and heartbroken for a moment, and then she had a headache. She made an excuse to vent her words at the servants, telling them not to prepare so many meals, and then went back to the room.
After returning to the room, he was sad for a while, and then he saw that the door was pushed open.
She got off the couch and saw her husband and son walking in.
"Why are you here together?" She just put away the unhappiness on her face when she saw Chen Mu.
"Mother!" Chen Mu walked straight to her and knelt down.
Mrs. Chen was startled, "Okay, why are you kneeling?"
"Son thanks my mother for raising her for raising her!" Chen Mu looked at her. He remembered her mother's kindness to him for so many years.
"What does it mean?" Mrs. Chen felt aching in his brain.
Chen Mu stood up, helped her sit down, and said, "Mother, listen to me."
Mrs. Chen stared at him in a daze. She had never seen him so serious and solemn. She didn't say anything for a moment, just waiting for him to say it.
After Chen Mu finished speaking, she was stunned.
After a while, she looked at Mr. Chen in shock, "Mu'er, wasn't you born with that woman?"
"No," Mr. Chen said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I've kept it from you for a long time. I can't let anyone know Mu'er's unknown identity."
"Then..." Mrs. Chen was confused. When she remembered what happened back then, she was so cruel and ruthless that she almost told the woman to die in the delivery room.
"She is back to find you, right?" Mrs. Chen's eyes tightened, and she wanted to ask indifferently, but her voice was even more swallowed.
"She's back, but she's afraid she won't recognize me."
"If she recognizes you, are you going to leave with her?" Mrs. Chen was panicked. He was leaving? She had raised her son for twenty-three years and would be returned to her?
"No, I won't leave unless my mother drives me away." Chen Mu said softly.
Mrs. Chen's tears fell, "How could I drive you away? If I wanted to drive you away, I wouldn't have brought you back."
"Then my son won't leave." Chen Mu knelt on the ground and looked up at Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen hugged her son and said tremblingly, "You can't leave. I have raised my son for more than 20 years. Even if the Jade Emperor comes, I will not let go. I can't be so cheap. I know that I'm not good to you, and I even let you protect your sister, and even lost your official position for her. I know you must blame your mother. My mother promises that I won't do it again in the future."
Chen Mu hugged his mother and thought of her biological mother, and felt sad for a moment.
He has not served her for so many years. And in the future, he will not leave his current mother.
Before hearing Chen Jinning's case, he should probably go find her.
He had a good excuse to know whether Chen Jinning had any connection with the Xianbei before returning to the capital.
He didn't ask her to recognize her, he just wanted to talk to her.
The relationship between mother and son should not be so indifferent.
