Looking at the bright moon
Chapter 26
In the early morning of the next day, Xu Hanben planned to go to Longyuan to look for Wen Mingyu, but he missed it, and was told by the housekeeper that the young master was in the hospital.He didn't know the previous situation, he only knew that the other party had gone to visit his son early in the morning, so he hired a car and went straight to the hospital.It was still past seven o'clock, there were very few people coming and going in the hospital, the corridor was quiet, and the two bodyguards guarding outside the ward were chatting. When they saw Xu Hancheng, they immediately stood up straight and asked: "Xu Hancheng Is the sir here to look for the third master? He is inside. "
Xu Hancheng patted their shoulders and said, "You two have worked hard."
He raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times, but seeing no answer from inside, he boldly pushed the door open a crack.This first-class ward is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. The outside hall is well furnished. Wen Mingyu sent a few servants from Longyuan to take care of Sheng Huan's daily life. Logically speaking, there should be one person guarding here.However, Xu Han was obsessed with the curtains closed inside and there was no sound at all, so he thought something happened, so he hurried in to check.
As soon as he entered, he found that the curtains in the room had been drawn, and the sunlight fell on the hospital bed by the window, but there were two people lying on it.Wen Mingyu leaned against the head of the bed and was reading a newspaper.The other person in the quilt had half of his body pillowed on his lap, his arms were folded under the quilt by Wen Mingyu, and he seemed to be in a deep sleep.After discovering Xu Hancheng, Wen Mingyu looked up at him, saw that he was about to speak, immediately put down the morning paper, and gestured for silence.
He glanced out with his eyes, Xu Han deliberately understood, gave Wen Mingyu a thumbs up, pointed at himself, and shook to the left twice, this is their code word, indicating that he has something very important.After reporting the news, Xu Hancheng left in a sensible manner.
Sheng Huan vaguely heard a knock on the door, and his consciousness, which was half asleep, suddenly woke up like a bucket of cold water.He slept like never before. He only remembered that he was still having nightmares the night before, but he had no memory of how he fell asleep in the second half of the night.
As soon as he regained consciousness, his physical senses also recovered. His right leg was throbbing with pain, and the palm of his hand was in severe pain, as if a knife was cutting flesh.Sheng Huan moved his body subconsciously, trying to make his right leg feel better, but when he had just finished moving, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The place where his head rested was much harder than the pillow, with a fresh temperature, and the fabric covering it did not feel like a pillow cover.Sheng Huan smelled a bitter but not bitter, fragrant but not fragrant smell from the soft cloth that was crumpled by himself, and was so startled that he almost sat up immediately.The person who was pillowed by him reacted very quickly, and quickly put his hand on Sheng Huan's shoulder, and said, "When you wake up, you move around. Are you in good spirits?"
For some reason, this voice sounded much hoarse than usual, and the unique sweetness became more prominent, making Sheng Huan's ears slightly warm.He was turned over by Wen Mingyu, and he was gently placed on the bed on his back, so he saw the other's face.Wen Mingyu was also looking at him at the moment, and the sunlight fell into the other's eyes, which seemed to cover Wen Mingyu's eyes with a thin layer of warmth.When their eyes met, Wen Mingyu lowered his eyes and smiled slightly at Sheng Huan.There was an unconcealable sleepiness in his expression, such a smile, like a spring breeze blowing through a flower branch, gave birth to a lazy gentleness.
Sheng Huan had never seen him smile like this before, he was stunned for a moment, and called out suspiciously: "Mr. Wen?"
Wen Mingyu laughed and said, "Think I'm dreaming again?" Seeing that Sheng Huan was silent, he simply grabbed Sheng Huan's hand and touched his face carefully: "Touch yourself to see if it's real. .”
The gauze blocked the touch of the opponent's skin, but it couldn't block Wen Mingyu's body temperature, and it brushed Sheng Huan's fingertips very quickly and lightly.He held his breath, and his body trembled because of the short few seconds of closeness. Wen Mingyu was watching him, his eyes were so gentle that they could be called indulgent.Sheng Huan was so looked at that he almost lost his mind, and put his hand on Wen Mingyu's cheek again, touching those deep eyes hesitantly.
"Why do you look at me like this?" When he said this, Sheng Huan's voice was unbearably hoarse, he bit his lips hard, and tried to say the next few words: "Because I saved Do you feel indebted to me because you killed your nephew?"
Wen Mingyu remained motionless, quietly letting him touch her.When Sheng Huan's movements stopped, he grabbed Sheng Huan's hand, took it off his face, and said softly: "Even if it's to repay my kindness, I won't let someone I don't like lie down all night. On my leg, I can't even get up now."
As soon as he mentioned what happened last night, Sheng Huan was so ashamed that he forgot everything, and apologized at a loss: "I'm sorry, I... I didn't know you were here."
"There's no need to say I'm sorry." Wen Mingyu reached out and touched his head: "It's only natural for you to act like a baby to me."
There seemed to be a little smile in his voice, before Sheng Huan could think about it, Wen Mingyu had already stepped off the bed.While arranging his messy clothes, he said, "I've been very busy these days. When I finish dealing with some matters, I will come back to accompany you and have a good talk with you." After saying this, he glanced at Sheng Sheng again. Huan glanced: "You should rest well. If you feel bored, you can ask your servant to call your Uncle Xu. He will arrange for your friends to come and accompany you. Don't let your imagination run wild, you know?"
Sheng Huan still seemed to have not reacted, staring at him blankly, and nodded when he heard the words, not sure if he had listened.
Wen Mingyu really wanted to tease him again, but unfortunately it was really late, so she rang the bell to call for a nurse, and then walked out of the ward.Xu Hancheng was sitting on a chair outside, when he saw him, he immediately asked, "Third Master, is everything alright, young master?"
Thinking of Sheng Huan's nightmare last night, Wen Mingyu sighed, and replied: "I have read his diagnosis report, he is still young, and it is only a matter of time before he recovers. But this injury has caused him a lot of pain." frightened."
Xu Hancheng said: "Even if you are an adult, you will be scared out of your wits after experiencing such a thing, let alone the young master is only 16 years old."
Speaking of this matter, Xu Hancheng remembered the reason why he wanted to find Wen Mingyu.When the two got into the car, he immediately reported to Wen Mingyu: "We have traced Huang Shaotong's whereabouts. I wonder how you want to deal with him?"
Wen Mingyu thought for a moment, then said: "Don't catch him yet, save his life."
"You send someone to keep an eye on him, even if he finds out, it doesn't matter." Wen Mingyu narrowed his eyes, his expression seemed to be smiling at that moment, but his tone was cold: "Let him be frightened, and there is no way out." If he thinks he is a lunatic, then I don’t mind making him even crazier.”
Although there were no rumors about the kidnapping of the young master of the Wen family, some people still found out about it and posted posts to inquire about it.Wen Mingyu was busy with business and couldn't meet with guests from time to time, so he asked the housekeeper and Xu Hancheng to entertain them.This housekeeper is very dedicated to his work, but he is an old man, so he will chatter a few times when he is free.The butler had just seen off a few guests that day, and the butler sent them all the way out of the gate. He shook his head and walked inside with his hands behind his back until the car was gone.
Xu Hancheng followed him, and heard the butler say: "The young master has passed his prime, but there is no mistress in the family. He has to go through the accounts, hospitality of guests, and many complicated affairs in Longyuan. It is really a shame. It bothers him too much." Xu Hancheng has already guessed the meaning of the steward's complaint.But as a subordinate, it's a bit too shameful for him to worry about the marriage issue for the master, so he said: "With you as an old man, I can always share some of the burden for the third master."
The housekeeper didn't accept his compliment, and only sighed deeply: "As a servant, I can do very limited things. When the master was still there, Long Garden was so lively. Friends, we often meet up to have fun together, even at two or three o'clock at night, the lights in each yard have never been turned off. How is it like now..."
Although Xu Hancheng himself was willing to worry, he was not willing to listen to other people's worries. Seeing that the housekeeper wanted to talk endlessly, he immediately found an excuse and walked away.Old people like them who have been with Wen Mingyu for many years are very aware of the reason for the lack of support among their masters. Since being imprisoned by Sheng Yunye that year, Wen Mingyu has completely insulated from matters of men and women.Also because of this reason, the steward's hatred for Sheng Yunni will never be less than that of Wen Mingyu, the bitter master.
However, Xu Hancheng is not as old as the butler, so he can use his status as an elder to worry about Wen Mingyu's family affairs, and he also feels that a person like the young master should not have to worry about him alone, so he is unwilling to talk about this with the butler. topic.Even if Wen Mingyu never married, there is still a Shenghuan.
Now that the relationship between Sheng Huan and Wen Mingyu has made great progress, Xu Hancheng is very happy to see it.When Wen Mingyu came back from Qiuyue Mansion in the afternoon, he quickly went up to meet him and asked, "Third Lord, aren't you going to visit the young master in the hospital today?"
Wen Mingyu seemed to have just finished a meeting, so she was wearing a very formal black suit, and her hair was all combed back, so that the dark and elegant eyebrows and the moving phoenix eyes were unobstructed, and the original sharp and beautiful outline was highlighted.He tossed the hat and gloves to Xu Hancheng, glanced at his watch, and did not answer his question, but asked, "Is there any guest at Yongtang's place?"
Xu Hancheng said: "The young master of the Yue family came here in the morning, and left again not long after."
"Tell him to see me after seven o'clock." After saying this, Wen Mingyu went to Dongyuan.Xu Hancheng followed the other party all the way until Wen Mingyu walked into the yard, only to see the other party turned his head and glanced at him, with a helpless expression on his face: "In your eyes, am I so unreliable as a father? I Today I have called two of the child’s friends to go to the hospital to accompany him, and he will never be lonely.”
When they were talking, Xu Hancheng noticed that Wen Mingyu's face was as white as paper, her lips were so pale that she could barely see the color, and she was a little sickly haggard, and then remembered that the other party seemed to have never had a rest these days .He was startled, afraid that Wen Mingyu would go to the hospital to lie down with his son if he didn't rest, so he apologized a few times and didn't bother him any more.
When Yongtang got the news that his uncle had summoned him, he was extremely disturbed, thinking that Wen Mingyu would finally settle the score with Qiu Hou.He clutched the fronts of his clothes with both hands, fluttering around the room like a bird that accidentally flew into someone's house. From childhood to adulthood, Wen Mingyu had never spoken harshly to him, and even the slightest reproach made Yongtang unbearable.If Wen Mingyu blamed him for Shenghuan's injury, how would he defend himself?
But that person will be hurt, and he can't completely blame himself.When he went to Shenghuan, he just wanted to ask a few words. Who knew he would be kidnapped?Besides, in this accident, Shenghuan was not the only one who suffered.The kidnapper had some of his teeth pulled out. Yongtang would tremble when he recalled the feeling of picking his guts out. He struggles to eat and talk now, doesn't uncle care?
Thinking of this, Yongtang made up his mind, if Wen Mingyu showed any signs of incriminating, he would have a big attack on his injuries.As long as he sees his uncomfortable appearance, my uncle will definitely not bear to pursue it any longer.
After thinking about this countermeasure, Yongtang finally stopped being so flustered, and after eating dinner indiscriminately, he bit the bullet and walked towards Dongyuan.At this time, the sky was already very dark, and the lights were on in the hall, only an old woman was cleaning the tables and chairs, and Wen Mingyu was not here.Yongtang went up to the second floor, stopped an old servant first, and asked him: "Where is my uncle?"
The old servant said: "Master, you came early, the young master has not woken up yet."
Yongtang looked at the clock hanging on the wall, sure enough, it was only 06:30, before he was only thinking about his own thoughts, he didn't pay attention to the time.Yongtang knew that when Wen Mingyu just woke up, his temper was the hardest to deal with, so he didn't dare to bother him.He sat in the living room until a quarter past seven, when he finally saw the old servant coming downstairs, leaning towards him, and said with a smile: "Young Master, please go up, Young Master is waiting for you in the room."
After the other party went upstairs, Yongtang reached out and knocked on the door a few times, and vaguely heard Wen Mingyu responding inside: "Come in."
Yongtang pushed open the door, walked to the door of the bedroom, and saw Wen Mingyu wrapped in a nightgown, lying on the sofa, reading a letter.He seems to have just taken a bath, his temples are slightly damp, his cheeks are blush from the heat, his gentle and amiable appearance makes Yongtang almost want to run over and squeeze together with him.
When Wen Mingyu heard the footsteps, she turned her eyes away from the letter paper and stared directly at Yongtang.There was no smile in his eyes, his expression was rarely serious, and he asked lightly, "Is your injury better?"
Yongtang felt very guilty by him, so he wanted to use this question to act coquettishly, to fool the questioning, so he lowered his head and replied: "No, I often can't sleep because of the pain at night. Didn't Doctor Luo say that I need a Can it take two months to recover?"
He thought that Wen Mingyu would come to comfort him as usual after he said these words, but after listening to the other party, his expression did not change at all, and he just said: "It's good to let you hurt for a few days, lest you can't remember this lesson .”
Although these were words of blame, Wen Mingyu's tone was not full of anger, so he gave Yongtang some courage, and sat directly on the floor, leaning on Wen Mingyu's leg, and whispered: "Uncle, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."
Wen Mingyu chuckled, folded the letter paper a few times, put it in an envelope, and dropped it on the coffee table.He adjusted his sitting posture, put his hands on his knees, facing Yongtang, and asked gently: "Do you just need to apologize to me?"
At first Yongtang didn't react, so he raised his head and looked at the other party for no reason.Wen Mingyu raised his eyebrows and looked back at him silently. The next moment, Yongtang understood what his uncle meant, he was talking about Shenghuan!As soon as he thought of this name, Yongtang's face immediately turned red, and he turned his face in another direction, resentfully silent, but this unconvinced expression had completely leaked his thoughts.
Wen Mingyu seemed to have expected this reaction from him, so she was not angry, and said calmly: "You have suffered a little under Huang Shaotong's hands, so I didn't rush to mention this matter to you a few days ago. Now look at you He is recovering very well, and it must be bearable to suffer a few words of scolding."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yongtang took a deep breath, and a layer of blush appeared under his eyes, as if he was about to cry.Wen Mingyu ignored him, and said directly: "The first time you had a conflict with Shenghuan, I'll just treat it as if he really touched you, so I won't bother you anymore. But for the next two times, Shenghuan didn't do anything wrong, and you still If you want to hold on to him, I'd like to ask you why."
This understatement of Wen Mingyu's words scared Yongtang out of his wits.How could he dare to answer this question truthfully? If he told the truth, it might not be as simple as being scolded.Thinking of this, he straightened his neck, stared stiffly at the corner of the wall, and pretended to speak in a confident tone: "I just don't like him, so why can't I teach him a lesson if I don't like someone?"
Yongtang has grown up very quickly over the years, and now sitting cross-legged on the ground with long arms and legs, he looks like a half-adult.Wen Mingyu looked at the other party, and couldn't help but recall 11 years ago, when Yongtang first came to her side.At that time, this child was only a tiny bit old, thin and timid, hiding in a corner all day long, whenever he came into contact with him, Yongtang would cry. The 16-year-old Wen Mingyu is far less gentle than he is now, because to quell the civil strife in the Wen family, there will inevitably be a lot of blood on his hands, and smiling is very rare.
The child is very sensitive to these things, so he is even more afraid of him, and finally refuses to talk to Wen Mingyu, like a little mute.Wen Mingyu, who was still a teenager, didn't know how to solve this problem. He was entrusted by his elder brother, and there was no reason to make the other's child worse and worse, so he had to blindly accommodate Yongtang.By the time Yongtang was finally willing to rely on him, the child had been completely spoiled by Wen Mingyu.
The ancestors of the Wen family had several powerful ministers. Before the cultural revolution, the family tradition was very strict.The elders are always unsmiling and strict in front of the younger generation.Because of this reason, Wen Mingyu and his father are very estranged. He knows that there is no joy in growing up in such a family, so he has maintained a tolerant attitude towards Yongtang.
After a long period of silence, Wen Mingyu finally said: "You are the young master of the Wen family, even if you are more pampered than ordinary children, it is justified. But you have spent a lot of effort to embarrass an innocent person over and over again. He almost put his own life in it, this kind of thing can only be done by seven or eight-year-old children, and it is ridiculous to say it!"
Yongtang's back was bent when he was scolded, and when he blinked, a few tears fell on his face.He raised his arm, wiped his face vigorously, and said with a sob: "You didn't blame me like this before, but now that you have Shenghuan, you won't be partial to me anymore, just because I'm not your own child?"
"Partial?" Wen Mingyu nodded his head: "Yongtang, if I had been partial to Shenghuan, I should have given you a lesson when your entourage framed him." At this point, he paused After a while, he continued: "Regardless of the reason for the joy, he is my son after all. You almost killed him, don't you feel ashamed at all?"
This question was heavier than any previous one, Yongtang knew he was wrong, so he muttered and didn't make any further distinctions.Seeing her nephew's face full of tears and sobbing, Wen Mingyu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, immediately found a handkerchief and handed it to Yongtang, and said in a slow tone: "Why are you still crying like a child?"
Seeing that his uncle changed the subject, Yong Tang felt relieved, thinking that this turmoil would just pass.He hurriedly took the handkerchief over, slowly stopped crying, and said cautiously, "Uncle, I'm sorry."
"I know, if you are asked to apologize to Sheng Huan, you will feel wronged again." Wen Mingyu also felt very tired after teaching her nephew a lesson.He leaned on the soft cushion, supported his head with his hands, and continued: "I will make amends for you for the mistakes you made this time. If you have any conflicts in the future, I will no longer take sides. Whoever is wrong , I will pursue whoever."
After saying this, he leaned over, took the letter from the coffee table, and threw it into Yongtang's arms: "Winter is over, you should go back to Jin'an to continue studying. I can pamper you with everything else, except for your studies." I can't let you go to waste, pack up your things these days, go to Jin'an, and when you get there, hand this letter to your Uncle Yue for me."
This news was like a thunder that exploded in his ears, causing Yongtang's whole body to go numb, and he was speechless for a long time.A long time passed.Only then did he grab the letter, raised his head and stared at Wen Mingyu, with a crying look on his face again: "Uncle, you, do you don't like me anymore and want to drive me away?"
Wen Mingyu was questioned by his nephew, and then he sighed, put his hand on the other's shoulder, and asked softly: "Yongtang, is it okay for me to treat you normally?"
Yongtang wiped his eyes, then quickly shook his head twice.
"Since this is the case, why do you say such things again?" Wen Mingyu withdrew her hand and watched him quietly: "I will take care of you for a day as long as I am your uncle, why do you worry about it? "
What Yongtang wanted was far more than the care of the other party. He glanced at Wen Mingyu, but saw that although the other party's expression was gentle, his gaze was as sharp as a knife blade, as if it could dig straight into his heart.Yongtang looked away instantly, his heart was beating wildly, he could only respond weakly a few times, not daring to disobey again.
Xu Hancheng patted their shoulders and said, "You two have worked hard."
He raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times, but seeing no answer from inside, he boldly pushed the door open a crack.This first-class ward is divided into two rooms, inside and outside.

But that person will be hurt, and he can't completely blame himself.When he went to Shenghuan, he just wanted to ask a few words. Who knew he would be kidnapped?Besides, in this accident, Shenghuan was not the only one who suffered.The kidnapper had some of his teeth pulled out. Yongtang would tremble when he recalled the feeling of picking his guts out. He struggles to eat and talk now, doesn't uncle care?
Thinking of this, Yongtang made up his mind, if Wen Mingyu showed any signs of incriminating, he would have a big attack on his injuries.As long as he sees his uncomfortable appearance, my uncle will definitely not bear to pursue it any longer.
After thinking about this countermeasure, Yongtang finally stopped being so flustered, and after eating dinner indiscriminately, he bit the bullet and walked towards Dongyuan.At this time, the sky was already very dark, and the lights were on in the hall, only an old woman was cleaning the tables and chairs, and Wen Mingyu was not here.Yongtang went up to the second floor, stopped an old servant first, and asked him: "Where is my uncle?"
The old servant said: "Master, you came early, the young master has not woken up yet."
Yongtang looked at the clock hanging on the wall, sure enough, it was only 06:30, before he was only thinking about his own thoughts, he didn't pay attention to the time.Yongtang knew that when Wen Mingyu just woke up, his temper was the hardest to deal with, so he didn't dare to bother him.He sat in the living room until a quarter past seven, when he finally saw the old servant coming downstairs, leaning towards him, and said with a smile: "Young Master, please go up, Young Master is waiting for you in the room."
After the other party went upstairs, Yongtang reached out and knocked on the door a few times, and vaguely heard Wen Mingyu responding inside: "Come in."
Yongtang pushed open the door, walked to the door of the bedroom, and saw Wen Mingyu wrapped in a nightgown, lying on the sofa, reading a letter.He seems to have just taken a bath, his temples are slightly damp, his cheeks are blush from the heat, his gentle and amiable appearance makes Yongtang almost want to run over and squeeze together with him.
When Wen Mingyu heard the footsteps, she turned her eyes away from the letter paper and stared directly at Yongtang.There was no smile in his eyes, his expression was rarely serious, and he asked lightly, "Is your injury better?"
Yongtang felt very guilty by him, so he wanted to use this question to act coquettishly, to fool the questioning, so he lowered his head and replied: "No, I often can't sleep because of the pain at night. Didn't Doctor Luo say that I need a Can it take two months to recover?"
He thought that Wen Mingyu would come to comfort him as usual after he said these words, but after listening to the other party, his expression did not change at all, and he just said: "It's good to let you hurt for a few days, lest you can't remember this lesson .”
Although these were words of blame, Wen Mingyu's tone was not full of anger, so he gave Yongtang some courage, and sat directly on the floor, leaning on Wen Mingyu's leg, and whispered: "Uncle, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."
Wen Mingyu chuckled, folded the letter paper a few times, put it in an envelope, and dropped it on the coffee table.He adjusted his sitting posture, put his hands on his knees, facing Yongtang, and asked gently: "Do you just need to apologize to me?"
At first Yongtang didn't react, so he raised his head and looked at the other party for no reason.Wen Mingyu raised his eyebrows and looked back at him silently. The next moment, Yongtang understood what his uncle meant, he was talking about Shenghuan!As soon as he thought of this name, Yongtang's face immediately turned red, and he turned his face in another direction, resentfully silent, but this unconvinced expression had completely leaked his thoughts.
Wen Mingyu seemed to have expected this reaction from him, so she was not angry, and said calmly: "You have suffered a little under Huang Shaotong's hands, so I didn't rush to mention this matter to you a few days ago. Now look at you He is recovering very well, and it must be bearable to suffer a few words of scolding."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yongtang took a deep breath, and a layer of blush appeared under his eyes, as if he was about to cry.Wen Mingyu ignored him, and said directly: "The first time you had a conflict with Shenghuan, I'll just treat it as if he really touched you, so I won't bother you anymore. But for the next two times, Shenghuan didn't do anything wrong, and you still If you want to hold on to him, I'd like to ask you why."
This understatement of Wen Mingyu's words scared Yongtang out of his wits.How could he dare to answer this question truthfully? If he told the truth, it might not be as simple as being scolded.Thinking of this, he straightened his neck, stared stiffly at the corner of the wall, and pretended to speak in a confident tone: "I just don't like him, so why can't I teach him a lesson if I don't like someone?"
Yongtang has grown up very quickly over the years, and now sitting cross-legged on the ground with long arms and legs, he looks like a half-adult.Wen Mingyu looked at the other party, and couldn't help but recall 11 years ago, when Yongtang first came to her side.At that time, this child was only a tiny bit old, thin and timid, hiding in a corner all day long, whenever he came into contact with him, Yongtang would cry. The 16-year-old Wen Mingyu is far less gentle than he is now, because to quell the civil strife in the Wen family, there will inevitably be a lot of blood on his hands, and smiling is very rare.
The child is very sensitive to these things, so he is even more afraid of him, and finally refuses to talk to Wen Mingyu, like a little mute.Wen Mingyu, who was still a teenager, didn't know how to solve this problem. He was entrusted by his elder brother, and there was no reason to make the other's child worse and worse, so he had to blindly accommodate Yongtang.By the time Yongtang was finally willing to rely on him, the child had been completely spoiled by Wen Mingyu.
The ancestors of the Wen family had several powerful ministers. Before the cultural revolution, the family tradition was very strict.The elders are always unsmiling and strict in front of the younger generation.Because of this reason, Wen Mingyu and his father are very estranged. He knows that there is no joy in growing up in such a family, so he has maintained a tolerant attitude towards Yongtang.
After a long period of silence, Wen Mingyu finally said: "You are the young master of the Wen family, even if you are more pampered than ordinary children, it is justified. But you have spent a lot of effort to embarrass an innocent person over and over again. He almost put his own life in it, this kind of thing can only be done by seven or eight-year-old children, and it is ridiculous to say it!"
Yongtang's back was bent when he was scolded, and when he blinked, a few tears fell on his face.He raised his arm, wiped his face vigorously, and said with a sob: "You didn't blame me like this before, but now that you have Shenghuan, you won't be partial to me anymore, just because I'm not your own child?"
"Partial?" Wen Mingyu nodded his head: "Yongtang, if I had been partial to Shenghuan, I should have given you a lesson when your entourage framed him." At this point, he paused After a while, he continued: "Regardless of the reason for the joy, he is my son after all. You almost killed him, don't you feel ashamed at all?"
This question was heavier than any previous one, Yongtang knew he was wrong, so he muttered and didn't make any further distinctions.Seeing her nephew's face full of tears and sobbing, Wen Mingyu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, immediately found a handkerchief and handed it to Yongtang, and said in a slow tone: "Why are you still crying like a child?"
Seeing that his uncle changed the subject, Yong Tang felt relieved, thinking that this turmoil would just pass.He hurriedly took the handkerchief over, slowly stopped crying, and said cautiously, "Uncle, I'm sorry."
"I know, if you are asked to apologize to Sheng Huan, you will feel wronged again." Wen Mingyu also felt very tired after teaching her nephew a lesson.He leaned on the soft cushion, supported his head with his hands, and continued: "I will make amends for you for the mistakes you made this time. If you have any conflicts in the future, I will no longer take sides. Whoever is wrong , I will pursue whoever."
After saying this, he leaned over, took the letter from the coffee table, and threw it into Yongtang's arms: "Winter is over, you should go back to Jin'an to continue studying. I can pamper you with everything else, except for your studies." I can't let you go to waste, pack up your things these days, go to Jin'an, and when you get there, hand this letter to your Uncle Yue for me."
This news was like a thunder that exploded in his ears, causing Yongtang's whole body to go numb, and he was speechless for a long time.A long time passed.Only then did he grab the letter, raised his head and stared at Wen Mingyu, with a crying look on his face again: "Uncle, you, do you don't like me anymore and want to drive me away?"
Wen Mingyu was questioned by his nephew, and then he sighed, put his hand on the other's shoulder, and asked softly: "Yongtang, is it okay for me to treat you normally?"
Yongtang wiped his eyes, then quickly shook his head twice.
"Since this is the case, why do you say such things again?" Wen Mingyu withdrew her hand and watched him quietly: "I will take care of you for a day as long as I am your uncle, why do you worry about it? "
What Yongtang wanted was far more than the care of the other party. He glanced at Wen Mingyu, but saw that although the other party's expression was gentle, his gaze was as sharp as a knife blade, as if it could dig straight into his heart.Yongtang looked away instantly, his heart was beating wildly, he could only respond weakly a few times, not daring to disobey again.
