I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

After saying this, the little guy lowered his head, not daring to look in the direction of Liu Yueru and the others.

Xie Jingrui took a step forward, picked up the unclaimed portraits on the table, and asked the little guy: "Have you seen all the portraits in these?"

The little guy nodded heavily: "I have seen it several times. I recognize my parents' appearance. There is nothing in it. If there is no missing, then my parents don't want me anymore."

As he spoke, he lowered his head. He no longer had the calmness and composure he had just had, but instead had a bit more of a childish sadness.

The children who received the portrait all looked at him with sympathy.

Liu Yueru pulled him to her side and comforted him gently, "Maybe they didn't pay attention to the time. They won't abandon you. Do you remember where you live? We will send someone to look for them."

After hearing this, the little guy's eyes lit up. He nodded to Liu Yueru and said, "My name is Shen Haotian, and I'm from Shenjia Village. As long as the villagers ask for my name, it's easy to find my home. Before I came to Wanfu Temple, it was because of my bad reputation that my mother said she wanted to send me here to be a good housekeeper so that I wouldn't bring harm to my family in the future."

"My mother also said that she would not come to see me anymore. If I didn't learn my lesson, they would not want me anymore in the future."

Shen Haotian did not hide the sadness in his eyes as he spoke.

Liu Yueru raised her hand and touched his head, feeling a little distressed, and for a moment she didn't know how to comfort him.

He turned around and said to Xie Jingrui: "Let's go to Shenjia Village first and find a portrait of their family members and let Tiantian look at it."

Xie Jingrui nodded slightly, signaling his servant to do the job.

After one of the secret guards arrived at Shenjia Village, he asked the villagers about Shen Haotian's residence. At this time, Shen Haotian's family was full of joy.

The family of five was sitting in the courtyard eating. When they saw the man in fancy clothes appear, Mrs. Shen stood up, wiped the grease off her hands, and asked the secret guard with a smile, "Who is this gentleman looking for in our house?"

The secret guard frowned slightly.

He brought Shen Haotian's portrait in front of them and asked, "Is this boy your child?"

When Mr. Shen saw Shen Haotian's portrait, a look of worry appeared on his face, and he was about to stand up.

Before Father Shen could speak, he interrupted Mother Shen and said, "Haotian has been sent to study. As long as he doesn't change his bad habits, he won't be able to go home."

After saying that, Shen's mother no longer had the same enthusiasm towards the secret guard as before. Her face instantly turned cold, and she said to the secret guard: "If there is nothing else, please go back, sir."

As she spoke, she pretended to close the door.

The secret guard took out a silver ingot from his pocket and handed it to the woman, saying in a light voice: "Haotian is missing you in there. As long as I have someone draw your portraits, this silver ingot will be yours."

Mother Shen's eyes lit up when she saw the silver.

He quickly took the silver from the secret guard's hand and diligently brought a chair for the secret guard.

The little boy, who was about five years old, was eating. When he saw the silver in Shen's mother's hand, he said to the secret guard with a smacking mouth: "Our portraits are so valuable, why don't you let you draw a few more? This way, even if we don't have to work, we can have delicious food every day."

"You little rascal, just enjoy your meal." Mother Shen interrupted embarrassedly.

At this time, the little boy finished eating all the meat in his hand, and did not forget to take the plate to lick it. Then he continued with satisfaction: "Is Shen Haotian coming back? This is good. In the future, someone will help me chop wood in the mountains and fetch water from the river, and I can lie down and sleep well at home."

While the painter was painting the portraits of Shen's mother and father, he was listening to the little boy's voice with his brows slightly furrowed.

The secret guard glanced casually around their courtyard.

Then he asked, "Haven't you heard about the incident at Wanfu Temple?"

"Does Wanpukuji kill children?" the little boy asked casually.

The secret guard continued to ask consciously: "Yes, Wanfu Temple has a bad reputation recently. Aren't you worried about Shen Haotian?"

"What's the big deal? It's more fun if he dies. Anyway, he is not..." The little boy's words were covered by Shen's mother's hand before she could finish.

She glared at the little boy fiercely, and he closed his mouth in fear.

Shen's mother smiled and explained: "This child is still young and outspoken. You don't have to take what he says to heart."

Father Shen looked at the secret guard several times and opened his mouth to say something, but was forced back by Mother Shen's eyes.

In the end, they could only hold back what they wanted to say and let the painter paint their portrait.

But during that time, there was a little girl who looked at Shen's mother timidly and asked bravely: "Big brother, is he okay?"

The secret guard felt a little relieved at this time. He explained: "It's okay, he just misses you guys a little. He will be able to go home after some time."

When Shen's mother heard this, she immediately became anxious and shouted, "What? I paid the money, but he won't be back until a year later, right? We don't have any extra food for him."

"You..." Father Shen looked a little unhappy and hesitant for a long time in front of Mother Shen, but he couldn't make any clear words.

Mother Shen realized that what she said was wrong, so she put on a very sad face and said: "If he hadn't done anything bad in Shenjia Village, I wouldn't have to send him to Wanfu Temple. I did this for his own good, that's why..."

The secret guard showed a hint of displeasure on his face and looked at Mrs. Shen and said, "Do you know that he almost died in Wanfu Temple?"

"What? What's going on?" Father Shen exclaimed and asked nervously.

The little girl's eyes suddenly turned red and she asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?"

"What are you doing? It's as if I was the one who wanted to send him to that place. You all agreed when I said I would." Mother Shen was very displeased by their expressions.

Then he put his hands on his hips and continued, "Besides, even if you die in there, the people at Wanfu Temple said that if you die in there, you can get a good amount of money to compensate you."

"With money, we can have any kind of life. If that doesn't work, we can have another child." Mother Shen said with a beaming smile.

She completely ignored the looks that everyone was giving her.

When the little boy heard what Shen's mother said, he sat up suddenly from the bench, stared at the direction of the secret guards and asked, "Is my eldest brother dead or not? If he is dead, let's go to the people of Wanfu Temple to ask for the silver."

After saying that, he pulled his clothes with his greasy hands and walked out the door quickly.
