Chapter 121 She is not really a biological child
Chapter 121 She is not really a biological child
Shen Nanqiao was flustered for a moment.
Ning Su is in charge of the factory guards. As long as he wants, there should be nothing in this world that he doesn't know.
But does it also include the trivial secrets of the inner chamber?
Her heart couldn't help but rise.
From the very beginning, she knew she was afraid.
As the saying goes, a daughter resembles her father, but since she was a child, everyone has said that she looks like her mother, and there is not even a trace of Shen Mingde in her eyebrows and eyes.
This is not a problem, after all, it is understandable that the child looks like the mother.
But her father has never been very fond of her, which is a bit strange.
If he is said to be patriarchal, he should at least pay attention to Shen Hong, but he only likes Shen Jingyi.
At first I thought he was just favoring his concubine over his wife, and he was particularly fond of the concubine's children as well. But now when I think about it, there is some inexplicable subtlety.
Shen Nanqiao's mind was in a mess and she even forgot to move forward. It was not until Shen Hong turned around and called her that she came to her senses.
She bit her lower lip and spoke to Ning Su.
"Don't say anything yet, let me take my time."
Ning Su shrugged without commenting.
He actually knew about this for some time.
Long before, when I asked Liuyun to check the little girl's past experiences in the Shen family, I discovered some clues. I was originally struggling over whether or not to mention it to her, but as things got busy recently, I forgot about it.
I just happened to catch up with it today. Some things, sooner or later, we have to face them.
Shen Nanqiao's steps became slower and slower. She didn't like Shen Mingde, but she had never thought that she might not be his daughter.
Having lived in the Shen Mansion for sixteen years, I have feelings for every blade of grass and every tree.
Now I am suddenly told that I have nothing to do with this family.
Then who is her biological father?
Is Shen Hong also the son of her mother and someone else?
Did Shen Mingde already know all this, which is why he was so cold? Then why didn't he divorce his mother?
A series of questions flooded her mind, making it hard for her to breathe.
If everything is true, then what Shen Jingyi just said might not be alarmist.
When she thought about being criticized after her mother's death, she suddenly became anxious and took two steps forward to Ning Su's side.
"Will outsiders know about my mother's affairs?" She was a little incoherent. "Just now, Shen Jingyi threatened me that if I didn't let Aunt Xu go, she would tell others about my mother's past."
Her voice trembled with anxiety, which sounded particularly unpleasant to Ning Su's ears.
He put his arms around the little girl and found that she was trembling slightly.
"Don't worry about this matter. I'll take care of everything. I won't let any bad news get out."
Does this mean that I am indeed not a child of the Shen family?
Shen Nanqiao's feet went soft and the entire weight of his body fell on Ning Su's arms.
She had never felt so helpless since her rebirth.
After careful consideration, she forced herself to suppress the complicated emotions in her heart and asked.
"I'm not a child of the Shen family, am I?"
Ning Su also felt embarrassed to speak for a moment. After all, it involved his deceased mother-in-law, and there were many hidden secrets in this matter that could not be explained in a few words, so he thought about it.
"In fact, the existing evidence cannot prove it, but Shen Mingde seemed to be away from the capital during the period before and after you were pregnant."
"But that doesn't prove that my mother is having an affair!"
Shen Nanqiao lowered her voice, but if you listened carefully, you could hear that she still had a slight vibrato.
Ning Su paused and said, "Your mother has always lived a secluded life and only met a man before she became pregnant."
Shen Nanqiao woke up from her initial shock. She bit her back teeth, forced herself to stay calm, and asked word by word.
"Who is that person who took advantage of the situation?"
In her impression, her mother has always been a well-behaved lady from a noble family. Although she has a cold temper, she is definitely not a rebellious person.
Now she was suddenly told that not only had she committed adultery, but she herself might be an illegitimate child.
This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Shen Nanqiao.
It must be that man who tried every possible means to seduce her!
Moreover, he was so irresponsible as to let her stay in the Shen family for so many years. He was simply not a man.
Ning Su saw that her face had changed and felt a little reluctant, so he shook his head.
"It's not certain yet. I've been sending people to investigate. I'll tell you as soon as I find any clues."
These words seemed to give Shen Nanqiao a little hope, and she subconsciously grabbed Ning Su's sleeve tightly.
"That means it's probably a mistake, right?" She said anxiously, "Maybe mother just went to relax, or maybe she always has some friends of her own, right?"
Ning Su felt even more sorry when he saw her face flushed with anxiety.
"It doesn't matter whose daughter you are. You're already married anyway, and I will protect you for the rest of your life."
These words made Shen Nanqiao feel a little relieved.
Yes, my mother is no longer with us, and I am a married woman, so even if my father is unknown, it will not affect my life.
Dusk was falling and the sky was about to get dark. Lights were already lit everywhere in the mansion. Pieces of light fell on the ground, exuding a lingering atmosphere for no reason.
She sighed very softly.
"You're all I have."
When people hear these words, they feel like they are being stabbed in the heart.
Ning Su reached out and hugged the person tighter, smiling for the first time.
"Whether this matter is true or not, it has no impact on you." His eyes fell on the small courtyard not far away, "If it is not true, it will save a lot of trouble, and you don't have to come here in the future."
I saw Shen Hong in front of me using the key to open the gate of the courtyard.
The yard is not big, but it is filled with flowers and trees and is neatly maintained.
It can be seen that although Shen Nanqiao was not very liked by Shen Mingde, at least he did not treat this legitimate daughter too badly in terms of food, clothing and other expenses.
Shen Hong stopped at the door. Even if they were biological siblings, they were married, so it would not be appropriate for him to rashly enter the sister's boudoir.
He handed over the key and pulled Shen Nanqiao's hand. He seemed a little embarrassed and hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Sister, you can rely on me from now on."
Before Shen Nanqiao could answer, Ning Su glared at him.
"Why rely on you? Am I a dead person?"
Shen Hong was choked, but still turned around under Ning Su's murderous gaze, and spoke word by word.
"I didn't know how to appreciate kindness before and wrongly blamed my brother-in-law. I hope he will treat my sister well in the future. She has never had a comfortable life in the Shen family." Having said this, he suddenly paused and said, "If one day you get tired of her, send someone to send me a letter. I will go to pick her up in person, rain or shine."
Ning Su originally thought that this kid seemed to be quite motivated after hearing the first half of the sentence, but after hearing the second half, he almost couldn't help but slap the guy away.
What nonsense is that!
"Don't worry about it. I'm afraid you won't have a chance in this life."
Ning Su uttered some harsh words and pulled Shen Nanqiao into her former boudoir.
The house is clean and tidy, and you can tell that someone cleans it every day, and everything is maintained as it was when someone lived there.
The curtains were changed to bright red to suit the occasion, and paired with the scattered gold curtains, it looked particularly romantic.
There was a plum vase with fresh red plums in it on the long table by the window. Shen Nanqiao walked forward and was a little surprised.
Ning Su keenly noticed that something was wrong with her, so he followed her.
"Is there anything wrong?"
Shen Nanqiao took out the plum blossom and looked at it again and again.
"This is the Welcoming Plum. It is only found in the place where my mother lived back then in the day. But the place has been sealed off since she passed away." Shen Nanqiao looked at the petals, which were clearly still fresh.
"Could it be that Shen Hong picked them specially to please you?"
"Impossible." Shen Nanqiao said firmly, "He is allergic to flowers and plants, and would never rashly set foot in my mother's yard."
If it were any other maid, she would be even more afraid.
Having said that, I also felt a little creepy.
