Chapter 172 The Real Mo Family (Part )
Shen Jinyi couldn't help but sigh again when she said this. Cheng Jinchu could see that she was really helpless. After all, she was still in the belly at that time, and she couldn't change the direction of the whole story. Cheng Jinchu could understand Shen Jinyi's feeling of powerlessness.
&34;My mother came back when she was five months pregnant. She returned to Pingcheng earlier than my father because the situation on my father's side had changed.
Originally, they could have gone back together, but something unexpected happened. It would take at least another half a year for my father to be transferred to Pingcheng smoothly. My grandfather was worried about my mother's health, so he sent someone to pick her up in advance.
In fact, this was also the kindness of my grandfather, but he didn't know that someone with ulterior motives took advantage of the time when my father was away.
Speaking of which, the greatest educational lesson my mother brought to me is that no matter how outstanding the people around you are, you still have to be reliable, otherwise no one can save you or lead you.
I'm getting off track. After my mother went back, Mo Junyao often went to see her. She didn't reveal her purpose at the beginning, but played the emotional card first and chatted casually. After she had played the emotional card enough, she started talking about business.
By the way, I want to say that my mother has the habit of recording things. She would write down some important things, bind them into books, and keep them. I also saw this in the books written by my mother in my previous life. These things were placed by her in my grandfather’s secret room.
That day, Mo Junyao found my mother and first expressed her concern. She naturally talked about her physical condition, then moved on to pregnancy. Then she naturally talked about how embarrassed she was that she was still the legal wife and had not divorced yet.
Finally, she touched her belly and began to cry to my mother that she was pregnant again, but this time it was different. The baby was from the man she truly loved, but the timing of the baby's arrival was very unfortunate. She had intended to conceal it and take the baby away when it was born. Unfortunately, her maid was seen by the old lady of the Shen family when she went to get the pregnancy-preserving medicine last time. She even sent someone to inquire about it, so she had no choice but to lie and say that she was pregnant during the last Chinese New Year. Now, the situation was very embarrassing.
According to my later investigation, this was simply a fabrication by Mo Junyao. She kept the fact of her pregnancy a secret very well. The clothes she wore on a daily basis were also much looser. It was only when she pulled my mother to touch her belly that she found out about it.
As for my grandmother, she just asked someone to write to my father and ask him why he had never mentioned children after being married for so long. At that time, my mother had just become pregnant, and my father replied that she was pregnant, but he did not say how many children she had.
As for the fact that Shen Zhiluo was finally included in the Shen family's genealogy, it was entirely because Qin Wanru later asked her father to save Mo Junyao and her father wanted Mo Junyao to become a concubine, and Qin Wanru proposed an additional condition.
Sister, you heard it right. It was a condition. Although Qin Wanru begged her father to save Mo Junyao, she understood at that time that her father was no longer under her control.
So, she told my father that she wanted to raise me outside until I reached adulthood before sending me back home. By the way, the story about the Taoist priest was very similar to the version you originally heard, sister.
The truth is, I was handed over to Qin Wanru by my mother herself. Both my father and mother were deceived by Qin Wanru at that time, and coupled with what my mother told my father before she died...&34;
When Shen Jinyi said this, she saw Cheng Jinchu frowning, so she spoke quickly.
&34;Uh~ About this matter, I...
I'm not very good at telling stories, so my story may be a bit confusing.
Don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious, let me sort it out, ahem, I’ll just talk about it according to the timeline, and then I’ll talk about this matter separately in detail, but I’ll just mention it now.
Having said that, after Mo Junyao told my mother so much, she came up with an idea. She said that since they both had children now, they could arrange for a Taoist priest to deceive Old Lady Shen and let her give away the child born by Mo Junyao, and then after some time, send back the child born by my mother. In this way, at least her child would not be able to take up the identity of the Shen family's legitimate son, and my mother would be able to have the child included in the family tree. This matter also required my mother to keep the secret for her.
This idea sounds ridiculous, but Mo Junyao brainwashed my mother every other day. She swore to heaven that she was truly doing this for her sister, and asked her sister to pity her and not let her child become an illegitimate child that everyone would hate. She didn't want to be a slut that everyone hated, and asked her sister to give them a chance to live.
Finally, my mother softened her heart. Before my father came back, the Taoist priest came to the house. However, it was different from what they had agreed before. The Taoist priest said that he would only send my father back after he graduated. Alas, my silly mother, she knew nothing about this.
The funniest thing is that my mother kept this secret until her death and didn't tell my father a thing, so my father didn't think much of it at first. You see, he didn't even know that Mo Junyao was pregnant again, so it was even more impossible for him to think that Mo Junyao was going to swap the two children. &34;
After hearing this part of the story, Cheng Jinchu roughly understood what would happen next. After all, people can be kind, but they cannot be kind without limits. That would be stupid and would not only harm themselves, but also their husband and daughter. She really didn't know what to say!
Shen Jinyi took a deep breath. If her sister wasn't different from others, she wouldn't want to tell the story of her mother. Every time she thought of these things at night, she would sit up in anger and couldn't sleep.
Shen Jinyi paused for a long time before continuing to speak helplessly.
&34;My father came back the day before my mother gave birth. She had an early onset period and was still half a month away from giving birth, so my father didn't have time to learn about what happened when he was away.
After my mother came back, she was taken care of by Qin Wanru. As I said before, her personality is that of a loving mother, so she had to act like she loved her daughter, and sent the tonic like water to my mother's yard...&34;
Shen Jinyi felt a little depressed when she said this. She bit her lip, sighed, and continued telling the story.
&34;In the end, because the fetus was too big... In the end, she gave the child to Qin Wanru. Of course, she did not tell her father about these things before she died. She still wanted to be a good sister. If she didn't tell anyone, at least her sister's ugly deeds would not be known to more people.
So this is what she said to my father at that time. This is what my father told me in his previous life. He said he could never forget my mother’s last words.
Her mother said: "After all, mothers are more considerate people. I feel relieved to leave my daughter to her. My husband is going to do great things. I will definitely not feel at ease if a grown man like you takes care of a child. So I feel more at ease leaving this matter to my mother."
When Shen Jinyi said this, she felt that she was having difficulty breathing. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Cheng Jinchu looked at Shen Jinyi and couldn't help but reach out and gently touch Shen Jinyi's head.
"So, you are being raised by your cousin...Qin Wanru?"
Shen Jinyi smiled bitterly and then nodded.
"Qin Wanru never showed up in this matter from the beginning to the end. She has always been a loving mother. Besides, how many people knew about the dirty deeds of the Mo family in the past? No matter how suspicious my father was at that time, he could only think of Mo Junyao."
Come to think of it, Cheng Jinchu nodded in agreement.
&34;What happens next?&34;
Shen Jinyi closed her eyes, but the story had to go on, even though she didn't like it.
"I always thought that Mo Junyao was not a smart person, and even a little stupid, but at least she was better than my mother... Alas~
Seeing that my mother had agreed to her, Mo Junyao went to Xianyun Villa in advance to prepare for delivery, and she gave birth a month before my mother did.
The Taoist priest appeared the day after Mo Junyao went to the manor. After I was born, my grandmother came to my father and made a big fuss, saying that an expert said that the child must be given away to be raised, otherwise her life would be in danger. At that time, my father had no intention of arguing with my grandmother. He also had to deal with my mother's funeral. In addition, my mother entrusted me to Qin Wanru's care before she died, so he simply let my grandmother do what she wanted.
Not long after my mother's incident, my grandfather also passed away suddenly in the same month.
To be honest, my mother's experience was a big blow to my grandfather, and he was in poor health. At the time, everyone thought that he passed away so suddenly because his most beloved daughter had passed away. He was too sad, and his heart was not good.
But, in my previous life, I asked a coroner to open the coffin and perform an autopsy, and later concluded that he died of cardiac pangs caused by the poison. This poison made it seem to outsiders that he died of poor health and stimulation.
Alas, a lot of things happened that year. Not long after my grandfather passed away, the uncle I mentioned earlier had the accident.
In fact, my father felt something was wrong after he dealt with my grandfather’s funeral, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong. It was not until my uncle got into trouble and Qin Wanru found my father and asked him to let Mo Junyao go that he realized why he had never noticed this too perfect mother before.
My father was very confused. How could it be possible that Qin Wanru didn't feel the slightest bit sad? Moreover, how could a mother who had lost her daughter, husband, and son in succession come to ask for mercy for the daughter who had killed her son?
When thinking of this, my father suddenly realized that the death of his father-in-law made it even more difficult for him to divorce Mo Junyao.
Let me add here that there has never been a divorced woman in the Mo family. This is bad for the reputation of both the unmarried and married girls in the Mo family. So even when my grandfather was alive, he never agreed to divorce his wife. My mother played a big role in why they hesitated for so long.
At this time, my father quickly sorted out his thoughts. If Mo Junyao was allowed to return to the Mo Mansion, it would be more difficult for him to deal with Mo Junyao in the future.
Therefore, he could not let Mo Junyao leave. In the end, his solution was to let Mo Junyao die as a concubine and let Mo Junyao stay in the Shen Mansion as a concubine.
When hearing this, Cheng Jinchu had doubts.
"Well, did Mo Junyao agree to this? That would mean demoting your wife to a concubine!"
Shen Jinyi sneered.
"She? Of course she agreed. After so long, my father would definitely divorce her. It was like a sword hanging over her head."
Remember I said Mo Junyao was madly obsessed with my father?
I think it's not just her love that dominates, but also that she wants to snatch everything from my mother, both things and people.
Of course, the rumors that my father had spread in the outside world also scared her. She knew that she had to give up her identity as Mo Junyao.
But, what happens after giving it up? If she leaves the Shen Mansion, will the man she likes still look at her? Will she have no chance in the future? So, she is very entangled.
My father naturally did not give her time to hesitate, so he later arranged something that would make Mo Junyao determined to add fuel to the fire.
That thing was to bring back the children he and his mother adopted. When Mo Junyao saw these children, she would definitely ask about them. When she asked, my father said that he didn't dare to bring them back when my mother was still alive. These were the children born to him by his mistresses when he was outside because he was too lonely.
Although this incident has damaged my father's image, if he hadn't done this, Mo Junyao wouldn't have had the courage to do it.
Why do I say that? My father was too single-minded before. To Mo Junyao, he was like the moon in the sky, which could be seen but never touched. But now, a man like this actually has a mistress. What does that mean? It means that she has a chance.
