Chapter 78 Regret

"Qingyun, that's your father, you can't say that about him." Han said sternly, trying to hold Shen Qingyun's hand, but she dodged it.

"Father?" Shen Qingyun turned sideways, with a cool smile on his lips, and a drop of hot tears fell: "Mother, tell me, why is he my father? Because he only Is it because he deliberately planned to move me to the countryside from a young age, or because he calculated my marriage and favored Shen Sisi and Shen Minglei, and never had the slightest love for me."

"Qingyun." Listening to these words, Han felt as if a knife was cutting his heart into pieces.

"I still remember when I was a child, a child in the village came to play at home and accidentally broke a bottle, but it fell on me and I was beaten. At that time, I already vaguely knew that I was not their biological child. I I once thought, if my biological father were here, would he make the decision for me, and would I not suffer such injustice?"

As Shen Qingyun spoke, she wiped away the tears on her face. Her heart seemed to be about to be crushed, but her face returned to a calm look.

"Mother, do you still hope that I can forgive him and be filial to him?"

Han's face was as pale as paper. She lowered her head and smiled bitterly: "Qingyun, I know that he is not worthy, not worthy of being a husband, and not worthy of being a father. But you are still too young. In the eyes of the world, he is your father. If you are planning He is extremely unfilial."

In fact, the first time she saw Yueniang, she noticed something was wrong.

Shen Zhifeng's eyes full of care and love, his subconscious partiality and care, how could he deceive others?

She just kept lying to herself, trying to maintain the surface calm. Even in the face of Shen Zhifeng's overtures during this period, she was happy, feeling that his heart had finally returned home.

After listening to Yueniang's words, Mr. Han understood that all this was a fantasy and that Shen Zhifeng had never truly loved her from the beginning to the end.

But......

"Qingyun, have you ever thought about what you would do if I divorced?" Han forced herself to calm down: "You will be fourteen next year and will start talking about marriage. Since he is like this You are so heartless and ungrateful. If I were not here, I don’t know how I would plot against you."

"Besides, even if we get divorced, where can I go? The world always makes things difficult for women, and rumors can crush them to death."

Shen Qingyun let out a long sigh: "Mom, there are so many men in the world, why can't you choose a better one after divorce?"

"Better?" Han's eyes showed confusion, thinking of Shen Zhifeng's disgusting hypocrisy, and smiled desperately: "The next one will be better, how can we not know what he is hiding."

These words may have touched Yueniang's sadness.

She remembered the sweet words to her, but in the end they were nothing more than chicken feathers: "Yes, you probably don't believe what the man said, but he deceived you to death. He calls this ridiculous love."

When Shen Qingyun saw Yueniang's expression of hatred, she was speechless and choked.

She originally wanted to say that there are still good and clean men like Xiao Jue, but she also understood that Mr. Han was feeling sad at the moment and might not be able to listen to anything.

"Mom, even if you don't remarry, you still have me and the General's Mansion as your backing, wouldn't Shen Zhifeng be able to live without him?"

"If I reconcile, wouldn't it bring shame to the General's Mansion? Qingyun, I can't be so selfish. For you and the face of the General's Mansion, I won't reconcile." Han seemed to have made up her mind: "The most important thing is Yes, he won’t agree to it either.”

"What if I can get him to agree?"

A deep male voice came from outside the door.

Xiao Jue pushed open the door and walked in, with a look of distress on his resolute face unconsciously: "If General Han knew that you were living like this, he would probably come back from the border and stab Shen Zhifeng to death with a red-tasseled spear!"

Han looked at him in surprise: "Why are you here?"

"Mom, I asked General Xiao to come here." Shen Qingyun said, doubts flashed in her heart.

Why did it come so quickly? I thought it would take at least half an hour.

But in fact, as soon as Xiao Jue heard that it was about the Han family, he immediately dropped everything he was doing, got on his sweaty horse and sped over.

However, Han's expression did not improve at all. Instead, he said to Xiao Jue with a look of disapproval: "Xiao Jue, as a hussar general, with the country in mind, commanding the three armies, and serving the imperial court, how can you participate in these inner chambers?" Inside the battle of love."

Xiao Jue unconsciously lowered his voice in front of Mr. Han. A tough man showed a hint of grievance: "I... am also worried about you."

When Shen Qingyun saw this situation, she thought to herself, it seemed that Xiao Jue had no right to speak in front of his mother.

Han made a determined decision: "You don't need to persuade me anymore. From now on, I will sever my relationship with Shen Zhifeng. I will wait until Qingyun gets married in the future before I make any plans."

After saying that, she stepped onto the carriage and asked Shen Qingyun to return home with her.

Shen Qingyun sent someone to keep Yueniang under custody, sighed, and said to Xiao Jue: "General, this happened suddenly. Maybe it will take some time for my mother to slowly accept it."

Han has been the princess's wife for more than ten years, and it is not easy to ask her to change at once.

Xiao Jue stared at Han's carriage for a long time before looking away: "I understand, don't blame your mother, she also has many worries of her own."

Shen Qingyun nodded, said goodbye to Xiao Jue and got into the carriage.

The two of them looked at each other in silence in the car. When they returned to Nuanyu Pavilion, Han took the initiative to speak after stepping down. Her voice was full of exhaustion: "Qingyun, I know what you are thinking, but General Xiao Jue and I have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Impossible."

"Mom, why is this?"

Han's expression seemed to be lost in memories. When Qingyun was as old as Qingyun, she had also been wearing bright clothes and angry horses. Xiao Jue often helped her sneak out of the general's mansion to play, and in the end he bore the wrath of Old General Han.

It's not like she never thought about her childhood sweethearts ending up together.

However, Xiao Jue bears the blood feud of his parents and the responsibility of restoring the Xiao family. When he was a teenager, he followed General Han into battle to kill the enemy. He went to the border for seven years.

By the time he returned to the capital, she had been arranged to marry Shen Zhifeng.

As she got older, she realized that life was full of dissatisfaction. Even if she had not married Shen Zhifeng, His Majesty would not have let Xiao Jue marry her, allowing the Han family to monopolize power in the army.

It's naturally impossible now.

Shen Qingyun didn't know what to say. The Han family and the Xiao family had sacrificed everything for the court, but in the end they could only get this result.
