Chapter 65: Mother’s Secret
“How is that possible?” The housekeeper looked unbelievably shocked. “When did she come? Someone will inform me.”
The two of them were confused. “It was my birthday that she left after coming for a meeting.”
It was not easy for the housekeeper to follow Leng Yuhe for so many years. When she thought about it carefully, she knew that something was wrong. When she thought about it, there was indeed a man who had thought of a way to call her away.
“Young Madam, don’t worry. This matter is a lot more serious. I will help you find out.”
Su Ruoqing nodded and went into the room. If Bai Peiya was really lying, then she and Leng Yuhe didn’t need to experience so much at all… She definitely couldn’t easily cross Khai.
But now, she couldn’t investigate it. She could only put her hope on the housekeeper and wait for Leng Yuhe to return home.
Leng Yuhe had been living in the military for three days. Every day, in not to utter a single word, aside from official duties, he would sit on the chair and drink.
“Heck!”
“Bro, why are you here?”
Leng Yulin frowned as if he had encountered some kind of trouble. “Come home with me. Father is sick, it’s a little serious.”
Leng Yuhe stood up in a hurry. He picked up his coat and went home with Leng Yulin.
“What happened? Why did Father suddenly get sick?”
“It should be the last time you mentioned Auntie Qing.”
Was it because of her mother? Leng Yuhe didn’t say anything. He didn’t seem to know what happened between his parents.
Yan Zizi advanced quickly and soon reached the the Governor’s Mansion.
Governor Leng lay in bed with an ice towel on his forehead to lower his body temperature. He closed his eyes and didn’t know if he was asleep.
The First Madam stood by his side. The moment she saw Leng Yuhe, her eyes became venomous. However, Governor Leng didn’t say anything and walked out.
“Do you still have the face to come back?” Your mother of inexorably hangs on pestered the young master and made him sick. Do you want to anger him to death?
“Mother, please don’t talk too much, okay?” Leng Yulin’s persuasion was useless. The eldest madam’s words were spout eloquent speeches, and Leng Yuhe’s complexion turned green.
He didn’t care about the First Madam’s insults. Ever since he was young, he had even gotten used to her face. If he suddenly changed one day, he wouldn’t be used to it, but what he couldn’t bear was the disrespect of his mother’s in the slightest.
Seeing that Leng Yuhe was about to flare up, Leng Yulin quickly grabbed the eldest madam, “Mother, father is still sick. Didn’t you listen to me once?”
It was rare for Leng Yulin to get angry. The First Madam also listened to his words obediently. She glanced at Leng Yuhe and went to the sofa beside her.
“Heck, for my child..” Leng Yulin didn’t remember how many times he had said such things, and some sorry continued.
“No need to say, let’s go in and see Father.”
“Alright, the only reason why I called you back today is because my father always called Auntie Qing’s name when he was sleeping. I guess it seems that my father gradually became ill after you mentioned Auntie Qing the last time. So, I think it’s because my father thinks too much about Khai.”
Leng Yuhe nodded and pushed open the door.
“Ji Qing…Ji Qing!”
Looking at the man with white temples on the bed, Leng Yuhe could still see the look of this man looking merciless towards him and his mother.
“Where’s coulda woulda shoulda today?”
Leng Yulin knew that the two of them might have a lot to say, so he patted Leng Yuhe’s shoulder and retreated.
Governor Leng heard his silence and slowly opened his eyes.
“Heck?” Is it you?
“It’s me,” Leng Yuhe didn’t say anything more and took a step closer to the side of the carriage.
“I saw your mother just now. She was still wearing her favorite gown back then. She sang my favorite concubine drunk for myself.”
Leng Yuhe looked at his affectionate expression and his mood was very complicated.
“So you have a mother in your heart?” Are you still missing her?
When Governor Leng heard his words, the gleaming light in his eyes suddenly dimmed.
“I know I’m a henchman. I’m sorry for your mother and sorry for you, but I hope you can understand that I’m sincere to your mother, and I’m really protective of you…”
“Then why?”
Leng Yuhe wasn’t done, but the two of them were have a tacit understanding.
“Help me up,” Governor Leng coughed non-stop. He was helped up by Leng Yuhe and sat down with his head closed.
“Child, you’ve grown up. There are some things I don’t have to hide from you anymore.”
Leng Yuhe looked over and said, “What else is it? I think I know very well.”
“The person your mother liked back then wasn’t me.”
“Hey, my mother, Ming Mingyu, still missed you!” Leng Yuhe was a little emotional. His mother’s appearance before she left appeared in front of him again, making him unable to breathe.
“I didn’t lie to you. She only said that she was willing to give up everything for her lover, but when did she ever say that her lover was me…”
Governor Leng’s eyes were filled with sorrow. Leng Yuhe could see clearly that this kind of naturally revealed feelings could not be seductive, but he didn’t want to believe that his mother would actually like someone else.
“Your mother was very famous back then. Many of the officials were willing to smile at the gamble at high stakes for her sake. I was also one of them. Every day, my followers went to see her every show.”
Leng Yuhe remembered his mother’s demeanor back then. Although he was still young, he didn’t know that his mother had left him forever after completing the last performance of his life.
“Later on, I don’t know what kind of people my father has provoked in the opera troupe. Many people don’t visit you anymore because of this. Only I still insist on watching your mother’s scenes.”
Listening to his voice, Leng Yuhe seemed to be more and more aware of his true love for his mother. This thought was connected to his own inherent concept, so that he didn’t know which one to keep.
“I don’t know how many scenes your mother has watched, but your mother really took a look at me. What surprised me even more was that he let me marry her,” Governor Leng’s face was filled with happiness as he narrated.
“Hmm, do you know how happy my father was at the time? But I already have a wife and I always feel that I’m not worthy of her, so I immediately prepared a grand wedding for your mother to marry into the Governor’s Mansion.”
Leng Yuhe sneered, “Is this the reason why the First Lady has been making things difficult for my mother?”
Governor Leng waved his hands and coughed twice.
“That’s not the case. When Ji Qing started to work, the two of them got along very well.”
Leng Yuhe didn’t believe it and didn’t speak again.
“She is the real young lady of the family. Ever since she was young, she was the principal wife. It’s actually another thing that made her hate your mother. It’s also because of the person in your mother’s heart.”
“What do you want to say?” Leng Yuhe was a little impatient. He couldn’t hear anyone say that his mother was bad, even if that person was his biological father.
“Later, Madam told me that your mother always met with a man. I thought it was a woman’s jealousy and didn’t believe it. Until again, I saw it…”
Leng Yuhe was a little nervous as he sat by the bed and continued to sleep.
“I’m going to ask your mother. It’s not that I don’t believe her, but I need a truth for others to hear. As long as your mother gives me a random reason, I will believe it, but she’s so innocent and kind that she told me the truth.”
“Who is that person?”
“It’s the class master of opera troupe.”
Leng Yuhe recalled that person, he seemed to have seen before. He always had a fan in his hand.
“It’s actually him…”
“That’s right, your mother confessed to me. She married me back then. Back then, someone found out about your mother being with him. In order to get your mother, they went to opera troupe to threaten her and even captured the class owner several times.”
“So my mother wanted to save him?”
“That’s right. At that time, I held a soldier and married me to protect the opera troupe by virtue of my power. She exchanged her happiness for the safety of the person she liked.”
After that, Governor Leng’s eyes were full of disappointment and disappointment. When Leng Yuhe heard this, he seemed to understand the reason behind everything in the past.
“So, the reason why the First Madam has been targeting us is not because of jealousy, and she thinks that my mother has done something wrong with you?”
Governor Leng nodded. “That’s right. She really wants to protect my meeting, but I can’t tell anyone else about your mother. I can only watch her suffer and treat her better.”
The coughing became more and more intense, and Governor Leng’s words were even a little incoherent.
“I didn’t expect my actions to make my lover more and more jealous. Your mother also suffered more humiliation and danger.”
When Leng Yuhe heard this, a frightening thought emerged in his mind. “Since the person in my mother’s heart isn’t you, then my father…”
“Of course you are my biological son!” You are the Ming Treasure that your mother left me, a gift from her. I still remember that day when your mother told me she was pregnant, I had never been so happy and satisfied.
“But…”
“Heck, I know you’re blaming me. You’re blaming me for not protecting you and my mother well, but that’s not my intention. I’m trying to protect you. Can you understand, tall trees attract the wind?”
Ming You, Leng Yuhe understood everything.
Father’s love and care were a form of protection for his father. Even though he and his mother were bullied, Yan Lu had never encountered any danger.
Looking at his father who was much older in front of him, Leng Yuhe felt a strong sense of guilt in his heart.
“I… I’m sorry for Father.”
Governor Leng held Leng Yuhe’s hand and said, “Child, I’m very gratified. You’re very outstanding, very much like me in front of you, even your feelings.”
“I know you really like Hanhan. The last time Jinlin revealed it to me, you guys seem to be on the fence?”
