[BL] Prince as Wife - Mtl

34 - Life experience

     Walking through the weed-covered bluestone road, Yan Jingshu stepped up the steps. The guard had already opened the door for him, and a bitter medicine gas mixed with the smoke of inferior charcoal fire came out.

     Yan Jingshu stepped into the door, the small courtyard has been abandoned for many years, the furniture in the house is old although not rotten, there are layers of cobwebs on the corner beams, it looks very dilapidated and desolate.

     In the quiet room, Xie was sitting on the round chair in the hall with her eyes closed. She hadn't seen her for more than ten days. At this moment, most of her hair was gray, and her half-worn clothes looked empty, without any makeup. His face was thin and sallow, no longer the dignified and graceful look of the past.

     "Why, aren't you even willing to call mother now?" Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xie, who had been waiting for a long time, opened his eyes.

     Now that there is no need to pretend, Xie looked at Yan Jingshu with an undisguised gloomy and cold gaze, mixed with the most obvious disgust.

     Yan Jingshu was not surprised, when he was imprisoned here in his previous life, he had seen Xie Shi's eyes like this, and he knew that this was Xie Shi's truest appearance to him.

     "You don't like me calling you that, don't you?" Yan Jingshu calmly looked back at Mrs. Xie after stopping, and said indifferently.

     Yan Jingshu's condescending gaze of indifference made Xie's face even more gloomy. She stared at Yan Jingshu with a fierce look in her eyes, as if she was not her child but an enemy in front of her. With a hoarse voice, she cursed: "You Wild species, bastards, white-eyed wolves that are unfamiliar, I should have strangled you, strangled you—”

     "...Bastard, bastard? Then what are you who gave birth to me?" Yan Jingshu said expressionlessly, but only he knew how tightly the hands clenched into fists hanging by his side were clenched.

     "I gave birth to you?" Mrs. Xie sneered, with incomparable malice, and said with a sneer: "You, a lowly bastard who was born of an unmarried adultery, are also worthy of being my child?"

     Yan Jingshu's pupils shrank suddenly, as if thunder was ringing in her ears.

     As long as he could remember, he knew that his mother didn't like him. His mother would ask his eldest brother to add clothes, and would personally bring vegetables to his eldest brother. She would always hug and love her younger sister, and it was only him. Apart from being amiable in front of his father and grandmother, in private, he completely treats him as if he doesn't exist. Even if he was injured in front of his mother and bled all over the place, the mother just let the wet nurse take him away with disgust and impatience, as if he was something dirty and an eyesore.

     Originally, he thought that his mother didn't like him because he was a twin and had a bad horoscope, and because he was in control of his grandfather's family, but it turned out that he was not his mother's child at all——

     Seeing that Yan Jingshu could no longer maintain his indifferent expression, and his expression was in a trance, with a look of great shock, Xie's eyes could not help flashing a light of pleasure, and he continued: "You are a bastard who should have been drowned when you were born. You have taken my son's title and enjoyed the glory and wealth that belonged to my son for more than ten years, and now, it's time for you to return it."

     It was difficult to calm down the overwhelmed mood, Yan Jingshu was silent for a while, and then said in a slightly hoarse voice: "...What do you want?"

     Mrs. Xie said coldly: "What are you doing? Take back everything that doesn't belong to you. As the second young master of Duke An's mansion, the gold and silver belongings that belonged to the Duke's mansion that you took away through your wedding dowry, These belong to my son, the real Second Young Master of the Duke's Mansion, not you, a wicked one."
