Chapter 83

Beitang Ao sneered, “Yanyan, you better not know about this. You have changed a lot over the years. Since you returned to Yaojing, you worshipped the Buddha in this temple every day. It is as if I seldom knew you. Or I have never known of you. I entrusted you to raise Hui’er but you took care of Hui’er like this. Since you promised to be their Mother Concubine, you better do it.”

Lin Yanyan smiled and said, “Wang Ye, you also failed to do as you promised. Do you not remember?” 

Beitang Ao raised his eyebrows, “How did I fail? Originally, I also had the heart to be in harmony with you all the time. It’s a pity that we are growing farther and farther apart. My original promise, I said I would love you as a husband would for his wife for the rest of my life! I still do!”

Lin Yanyan stared at him fiercely for a moment but gradually calmed down, turned around, and said in an indifferent tone, “You are right. We just take what we have as we need it. It’s just that I have been dreaming for a long time, and I forgot that I will wake up one day. Hui’er, I will visit him and be his Mother Concubine. Of course, there are still days…”

Beitang Ao looked at her back, turned, and left. He did not see that Lin Yanyan’s bright red long nails were embedded in her palms. Nor did he see how hideous her beautiful and clear face had become.

Beitang Ri was hiding in the corner. He was very light and good at quieting his breaths, Beitang Ao was agitated and did not find him. He heard what the parents said. Even though he was still young, he still understood some things. For example, he was not the biological son of his Mother Concubine. 

He had also heard about this from the talkative subordinates, so he was not too surprised. Perhaps he was calm by nature or too young to understand the truer meanings. In short, he didn’t care about this very much and never asked anyone about it. Whether he had a biological mother was not important to him.

As for Beitang Yaohui… When Beitang Ri and Beitang Yaohui lived in the Shenmei Courtyard more than half a year ago, they both fell ill. He was ill for a long time and had been in a coma for many days. When he recovered from his illness, he went to see Beitang Yaohui, but Beitang Yaohui was no longer the same person. Although the Mother Concubine kept telling him that Beitang Yaohui had changed a little because of illness, he still knew that this person was not Beitang Yaohui. Yet he liked him very much because this Beitang Yaohui always pestered him. So Beitang Ri loved him in everything, especially his beauty. This Beitang Yaohui was more beautiful than the previous one, behaved well, and listened to him very much.

From what the Mother Concubine said, his foster father must be the general. The Mother Concubine didn’t seem to like his foster father, why? But he honestly liked his foster father. It felt so pleasant to be with him, especially when the father was also there. Being pampered by his father and foster father at the same time gave Beitang Ri a great sense of satisfaction. This kind of feeling only took a few days, yet surpassed the three years he spent with Lin Yanyan.

Although Beitang Ri was young, his mind was clear. He saw Lin Yanyan almost destroy the entire Buddhist Hall after his father left. Her face was distorted and stern. He felt that such a Mother Concubine was very scary, which made him very unhappy. So he left carefully.

Since he was not the child of the Mother Concubine, whose child was he? Whose child was Beitang Yaohui? What was the matter between his foster father and his father? Why did his foster father leave?

Many questions flashed through Beitang Ri’s little head.
