C343 He Is the Child of Mrs Pei
"Your parents are no longer here. If Uncle Su doesn't take responsibility for you, who else can take responsibility for you?" Su Zhenyu's words were so deep that no one could tell what he meant.
Zuo Lan raised her eyebrows slightly. She did not say anything, but deliberately changed the topic. "Uncle Su, we are here."
Su Zhenyu's attention was indeed diverted. His eyes fell on the two graves. The graves were located beside the lake and on one side was a bamboo forest. On the other side was the lake water.
These places were not open to the public. So naturally, there were no tourists. After offering incense, Pei Yihuan, Mo Wan and Zuo Lan went to bamboo house.
Su Zhenyu stood alone in front of the grave. His gaze fell deeply on the grave. Pain, guilt, regret, all of these appeared in his eyes.
He seemed to have never felt tired as he stood there. From noon to afternoon, he stood as straight as a pillar.
After a long time, he took out a bunch of blue roses and placed them on the grave. After a long time, he struggled to squeeze them out. He said, "Lan Ji... This is your favorite flower. And... I'm late..."
Su Zhenyu shifted his gaze to another grave and lowered his gaze. "Big brother... I'm sorry..."
He thought that he would have a lot of things to say while standing here, but when he truly stood here, he was speechless. Anything he said was unnecessary.
They would never hear it again, never hear it again, some things were destined to be forever...
Su Zhenyu stood until the sun set and the moon rose. He then moved his stiff body and walked back.
When he returned to Pei estate, Su Zhenyu sat on the sofa with his eyes closed. He did not say a word. His heart was heavy like a stone pressing down on it.
At this time, a knock on the door came in. He opened his eyes and said slowly, "Come in."
It was Butler Chen who walked in. His expression was a little gloomy, hesitant and conflicted. "Second Master, there is one thing that has been stuck in my heart for ten years. If I don't say it out loud, I'm afraid that I will go crazy from holding it in."
"What is it?" Su Zhenyu was puzzled.
"This is about you and your wife." Butler Chen gritted his teeth and threw caution to the wind. "More than ten years ago, your wife eloped with you and was eventually brought back by the old master. At that time, your wife was found to be pregnant and the child was not the old master's..."
Hearing this, Su Zhenyu froze on the spot and his pupils suddenly contracted.
Immediately after, he stood up and grabbed Butler Chen's clothes. He was excited and messy. "What did you say?"
What did he say? Lan Ji and her brother were pregnant when they went back to Pei estate more than ten years ago!
Then, after careful calculation, the child was his! It was actually his!
"Second Master, there is not a single lie in these words. Back then, I was always by Master's side. Even the doctor was invited by him. Thus, I know all of these things. I have been holding it in for ten years, and I can't hold it in any longer. It makes me feel uncomfortable... "Butler Chen panted.
According to the old master's words, this matter should have been buried in his heart. He should not have mentioned it even if he died, and he would not let anyone know about it.
However, the second master had been kind to him. When he was young, the second master had saved him and his entire family!
Therefore, he could hide it from anyone, but not the Second Master, because his conscience was not at peace. Without the Second Master, there would not be the current him!
"Then, what happened more than ten years ago?" Su Zhenyu's voice could no longer remain calm.
"I remember it very clearly that day. It was still raining heavily. When the old master came back with his wife, her whole body was covered in blood. Master asked me to invite a doctor, but the results were also determined after the examination. The wife was pregnant for exactly a week. The wife and the second master had eloped for twenty days, so the child could not possibly be the old master's... "
Taking a breath, Butler Chen paused for a moment. "Then, the old master asked the doctor to abort the child."
Su Zhenyu's pupils contracted a little again. His body was unusually tight, and even his breath was held.
"Madam just woke up at this moment and heard everything the old master said. Madam naturally knew what kind of person the old master was. In order to make the old master give up on this idea, she naturally knew what kind of person the old master was. Madam used death to force him to say that if the child were to disappear one day... Then her death would come. In any case, she did not want to live anymore... The old master has compromised. "
Su Zhenyu did not say anything. How could he not understand Lan Ji's character?
Although Lan Ji's character was gentle and graceful, like the blooming green lotus in the clear spring. It was faint and emitted the lingering scent of a sweet fragrance. She looked delicate on the outside, but in reality, she was strong.2
As long as she said it, there was absolutely no room for negotiation. She would keep her word!
"After ten months of pregnancy, the wife was unable to give birth when she gave birth. The child was indeed born, but the wife never woke up again..." Butler Chen's voice was very soft and sad.
His heart was in so much pain that it felt like it was being torn apart. Su Zhenyu held his head with both hands and slowly sat on the sofa with an unusually painful expression.
He never thought that Lan Ji would die because of this reason. She died from difficult birth...
He had let her down. He had really let her down...
"Actually, when we were giving birth in the hospital, the doctor asked the old master to fill out the form and asked if he wanted to protect the adults or the children. The old master naturally chose to protect the adults, but in the end, the wife was not saved."
Butler Chen recalled the scene at that time.
"It can also be seen that the wife's full support is the child in the womb. During that period of time, her body was very weak and there was a huge bleeding during the surgery. She must have used all her strength to protect the child..."
There were some things that he did not say out loud. During that period of time, madam gave him the feeling that she was forcefully holding on for the child in her womb.
She seemed to have already lost the ability to continue living. He thought that if it wasn't for the child's timely arrival, madam would have definitely left long ago.
She only managed to survive because of the child. It was entirely because of the child in her womb. When a woman was a mother, the child was her center of gravity. She could give up everything for the child, including her own life.
After a long time, Su Zhenyu slowly found his voice. It was dry and incomparably hoarse. "What about the child?"
"The child is the Fifth Master, Pei Yishuang. The Fifth Master is exactly ten years old this year. He is the biological child of the wife and the second master..." Butler Chen said word by word.
After saying the whole thing, he felt that the stone that was pressing on his heart had finally disappeared. He felt relaxed and at ease.
At that time, he had narrowly escaped death in the hospital, and he did not have the medical fees to save his life. It was Second Master who saved him!
"Pei Yishuang?" Su Zhenyu murmured slowly. He thought of the little guy he saw in Qingchuan."
