Kicked the scumbag and married his uncle, and she was reborn as a medical concubine to dominate the

"I had a dog before."

The man spoke with a very low tone. If it had been before, Shen Wan would have found it unbelievable that he could raise small animals.

But after seeing his reaction when facing the cub, she wasn't surprised at all.

Having roughly guessed what happened, Shen Wan's mood began to become heavy for no reason.

As expected, the man's eyes dimmed, and after a moment of silence, he continued: "But then, it died."

"Right in front of my eyes, it was beaten to death by the palace guards. I watched it desperately and painfully struggle, and finally died, but could not do anything."

The image of the puppy looking at him pitifully with its mouth full of blood reappeared in his mind, and Qi Yan's eyes were suddenly stained with scarlet red.

At this point, Shen Wan didn't need to point it out. Shen Wan knew that the person who ordered the puppy to be beaten to death must be the Empress Dowager.

"Zi Yuan!" Feeling the man's emotions, she quickly held his hand tightly.

The back of his hand suddenly felt warm. Qi Yan turned his head and looked at the little woman beside him. After calming down a little, the corners of his lips curled up into a sneer.

"She has always been very strict with me since I can remember. In my memory, she is majestic, self-reliant, dignified, and dazzling, but she does not have the kindness that a mother should have.

When a child from another family falls down, when the mother sees it, she will quickly help him up and carefully check whether there is any injury.

But she never would, she would just let me stand up coldly,

I used to think that I was not as cute and obedient as other children, so no matter what she asked me to do, I would work very hard to get it done.

I thought that as long as I proved my abilities to her, that I was well-behaved and sensible, I would be able to gain her love and care. Unfortunately,

In her eyes, as her son, he should do what he should do and there is nothing worth showing off.

In those years, secretly adopting that puppy behind her back was the only thing I did to disobey her, but later, she still found out.

Growing up, she punished me frequently, but no matter how hard she punished me, I never asked for mercy.

The time she ordered the palace servants to kill the puppy with a stick was the only time I begged her, but in the end, I still didn't get back half of her softness.

Since then, I have never bowed my head and compromised. She succeeded. She finally used the most ruthless way to teach me to be as ruthless and cool as her. "

Qi Yan's self-deprecating sneer made Shen Wan's heart ache.

He obviously values ​​love and justice, but he insists on wrapping himself in a hard shell.

If he had not been born into the royal family, if he had been brought up in a different way, he might have grown into a sunny and warm boy, instead of being as paranoid and inexpressive as he is now.

"Don't talk nonsense, how can you be so ruthless and cool?" Shen Wan leaned her little head into his arms, curled her lips, and smiled with sweet dimples.

"My husband is obviously very gentle, very cute, and very lovable. You see, I like you, Uncle Zhou likes you, Qianye likes you, the emperor also likes you, even the little boy likes you!"

Qi Yan: "..."

Is she really praising him?

After living for so many years, this was the first time someone said he was cute.

In his impression, no one seemed to have said that to him when he was a child, and it was even less likely to happen when he grew up. He had often heard people say that he was scary.

cute?It was a shame she could think of applying this word to him!

"As long as my baby likes it, that's enough." Qi Yan pulled her into his arms and kissed Shen Wan on the small mouth.

After so many years, being trapped in the vortex of power struggle, his heart had already hardened, especially after that incident, which shattered all his last traces of compassion.

But she was always the warmest sunshine in his life and the only softness in his heart. As long as she was by his side, everything would be fine.

Focusing on comforting him, Shen Wan couldn't care less about whether he was taking advantage of him. Seeing that the man's mood had obviously eased, she hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

"Although the Queen Mother is a little too harsh on you, she must be doing it for your own good. The reason why she does that is because she hopes that you will be able to protect yourself."

"I know." But that doesn't mean he can let it go.

Although his mind was more mature than other children of the same age, he was only nine years old that year.

The sight of the puppy looking at him, covered in blood and wailing, has become a nightmare he has been having for many years.

The most important thing is that the little guy means a lot to him, far more than just a pet dog.
