Chapter 150: He Has Done His Filial Piety
Yang Xiansheng's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He never imagined that his wife, whom he was quite satisfied with, had actually been cheating on him.
With a gloomy face, he returned to the main courtyard. The eldest lady, who had already tidied herself up, had a flushed face that turned a little pale. She tried to remain calm and asked, "Master, have you caught the thief?"
Yang Xiansheng sneered. His face did not show how angry he was. His tone was sinister: "Hu, do you think I'm a fool? How come my cousin, whom you personally introduced to me, has become a thief in your mouth?"
The eldest lady knelt at his feet and said, "Master, there is nothing between my cousin and me. I'm just afraid that you might misunderstand me."
"Really? What did I misunderstand? Tell me more."
"My cousin came the day before yesterday. At that time, you and your son were busy with business, so I arranged for him to live in Songhua Courtyard. Today, I came to ask about my aunt's situation and chatted with him for a while. He wanted to leave, but you came back. He was worried that you would misunderstand and that this matter could not be explained clearly, so he wanted to leave quietly. This is all a misunderstanding, master!"
Yang Xiansheng laughed. This woman who had been married to him for more than 20 years was still telling him lies. If he hadn't known the truth from her adulterer first, he might have believed her at this moment.
"Ms. Hu, when you introduced us to each other, you didn't say that he was the one you wanted to elope with. If you had said it earlier, why would I have married a fickle woman like you? How much benefit has the Hu family gained from me over the years? Is this how you repay me? Ah!"
"Master, I was wrong. I was just confused at the time. He and I were innocent. I was young and ignorant at the time. Since I married you, my whole heart has been given to you, Master!"
He sneered: "Can I still believe your words? What else are you hiding from me?"
"No, I never thought of hiding it from the master!"
Looking at the eldest lady who was shaking like a sieve, Yang Xiansheng shouted, "Bring it in."
With his shout, a man was thrown into the room. He was covered in blood, but his face was clean.
Yang Xiansheng squatted down, grabbed the man's hair, and brought him in front of the eldest lady. He smiled sinisterly: "Are you really hiding something from me?"
The eldest lady's eyes were filled with panic, but she still said, "Master, I really didn't do anything to let you down. It was just an accident tonight, Master!"
"Bring the Seventh Young Master here!"
Following Yang Xiansheng's words, the eldest lady's pupils suddenly shrank.
The man covered in blood turned even paler.
After a while, a child of four or five years old was brought into the house.
He was wearing a brocade robe and was still sleepy. He wiped his eyes and asked incoherently, "Mom, what do you want me to do? I was sleeping." At this time, he met Yang Xiansheng's cold eyes and was frightened. He woke up from his sleep and saluted hurriedly, "Dad, Dad!"
Yang Xiansheng waved his hand with a fake smile: "Jinyu, come forward!"
The child slowly approached, his eyes full of fear towards Yang Xiansheng. Especially when he saw the bloody man on the ground, he was so scared that he dared not say anything.
Yang Xiansheng grabbed Yang Jinyu and pushed him towards the eldest lady. Yang Jinyu was caught off guard and fell down. He didn't dare to cry. He just raised his face with tears in his eyes, trying to get into the eldest lady's arms.
The eldest lady hugged him and coaxed him: "Don't be afraid, Jinyu, mother is here, mother is here!"
Yang Xiansheng laughed sinisterly: "Is this what you mean by hiding nothing from me?"
The eldest lady knelt down holding Yang Jinyu in her arms: "Master, Jinyu is really your son. How could you doubt it?"
"Do you want to see his face? How stupid do you think I am?"
The eldest lady didn't dare to speak.
Yang Jinyu and her cousin look so much alike, as if they were cut from the same mold. If you didn't compare them side by side, you might not notice it, but now that both faces are in front of you, you can't even quibble.
She cried and said, "Master, I was wrong. For the sake of our long-term marriage, for the sake of Zhiyuan and Zhijian, can you let me go and let Yu'er go?"
She cried miserably, and Yang Jinyu also burst into tears. Her cousin knelt on the ground, his mouth full of blood, and he just kowtowed.
Yang Xiansheng smiled and said, "I can let you go, after all, you are the mother of Zhiyuan and Zhijian, but why should I let this bastard go?"
The eldest lady hugged Yang Jinyu in her arms, held her tightly, and kept shaking her head.
Yang Xiansheng was not moved at all, and his smile became even brighter: "If you kill this bastard with your own hands, I will let you and your cousin go. Or, if you kill your cousin with your own hands, I will not kill you and your bastard!" He waved his hand, and the guard threw a dagger over.
The eldest lady's face was ashen, and the cousin's eyes were full of panic and fear. Yang Jinyu wanted to cry but didn't dare to, as he didn't quite understand what these words meant.
The eldest lady looked at her cousin. For her and Yu'er, her cousin should be willing to die, right?
But she never expected that her cousin would shake his head at her and say, "Aqin, you can't kill me. I came in through your front door as a guest. If I die, you will be sent to the authorities. Kill him, kill him! He is our child. He died for his parents. He is filial to them!"
The eldest lady picked up the dagger, her hands shaking.
"Aqin, are you unable to do it? If you can't do it, I'll do it!"
As he said that, he actually rushed over to grab the dagger, wanting to kill Yang Jinyu with his own hands.
The eldest lady screamed, "No!"
But he was caught off guard, and the dagger was snatched away by his cousin and stabbed straight into Yang Jinyu's chest.
The child's sobbing stopped abruptly. The eldest lady was heartbroken. She rolled over and hugged her bloody son, glaring at her cousin: "Liu Linfeng, you beast, he is your own son, how could you have the heart to do that to him?"
A trace of guilt flashed in Liu Linfeng's eyes. He threw away the dagger, supported himself on the ground with his hands, and took several steps back. "Aqin, I have no choice. I want to live. What's wrong with wanting to live? We brought him into this world, so it's only natural for him to die for us. Aqin, do you want me to die? We have been together for so many years, can you bear to let me die?"
"You beast, you beast! How could you bear it?"
Yang Xiansheng, who had watched a big drama, sneered: "Why can't he bear it? Because if he kills one, there is still another one."
He waved his hand: "Bring the Sixth Young Master here!"
The eldest lady spat out a mouthful of blood. She rushed over and hugged Yang Xiansheng's legs tightly: "What are you doing? Master, Jinyu is not your son, but Zhijian is really your son!"
"Do you think it's true or not? Do I still care? I'll give you another choice. Kill your adulterer and I won't touch Lao Liu!"
