Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess - Chapter 955
Chapter 955 The So-called Mother
“Great weapons can only display their original strength while used in the right hands. I think, if this medical book is passed down from my teacher, it may not trigger so many bloody fights. After all, like medical skills, medical books can harm people and also save people.”
Lin Mengya patted Moyan’s little head with a smile, and the little boy nodded with some understanding, which made the people in the yard burst into laughter.
This child was easygoing. When he saw everyone laughing, he was not annoyed but only grinned from ear to ear.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you to have some melon-shaped sweets.”
At first, Qinghu hated this beautiful boy very much.
He would either dislike the child for being noisy or that his body was too soft.
Strangely, Moyan especially fancied Qinghu and Baili Rui, who were eccentric people.
Every day, as long as Lin Mengya was not at home, the boy would find an opportunity to stick to Baili Rui and Qinghu.
Over time, the two of them truly fell in love with the child.
Qinghu, in particular, only smiled at the boy other than Lin Mengya.
Hearing that they were going to have melon-shaped sweets, Moyan danced with joy and snuggled up tightly in Qinghu’s arms. It was as if he was afraid that Qinghu would go back on his word.
“Eat less. That’s enough. You eat like a piglet.”
Lin Mengya knew that Qinghu wanted to leave the courtyard for her and her teacher.
Watching him leave with Moyan in his arms, Lin Mengya thought for a moment and then said slowly, “Qinghu told me that Yunzhu came over again.”
Her words shocked Baili Rui.
His eyes were filled with jealousy.
He had wasted half of his life because he had fallen in love with someone who didn’t understand love.
Now, he also understood that it was not that Yunzhu did not love him, nor did she fall in love with someone else.
It was that she did not know what love was.
If Yunzhu did love him, how could she not tell the difference between him and others?
She had problems with her eyesight back then and couldn’t tell the difference between him and others.
However, if she truly fell in love with someone, even if that person changed his appearance and the time and space had changed, she should still be able to recognize him at a glance.
Yunzhu did not love the one who impersonated Baili Rui.
If she were truly in love, why would she exterminate that man’s family for the so-called truth?
Even at this moment, Baili Rui would never harm Yunzhu.
Back then, he had been imprisoned and beaten badly in that small courtyard.
But he had seen truly through that woman’s heart.
“So what? It has nothing to do with me anymore.”
After quite a while, Baili Rui seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden.
Although his tone was somewhat dejected, there was a trace of relief on his face.
Lin Mengya poured a cup of tea for her teacher with a sincere smile on her face.
“Congratulations on discarding the vexation of your affairs, Master.”
Baili Rui didn’t know how to react to what she said. He looked up and drank the tea.
“Silly girl, I’m not an old monk in the temple. Why do you make it sound like I have seen through the emptiness of the world? Relax. I do cherish my life. I’ll save the time I have for you to take care of your children in the future. I don’t want to be involved in anything else.”
Baili Rui was still as carefree as before. Lin Mengya had to admit that she was not as good as him in this aspect.
Although her teacher was just an ordinary old man now, she could still see some of the high-spirited and vigorous spirits he had in the past.
What kind of woman would be unmoved by a man like her teacher?
She believed that Yunzhu used to love Baili Rui.
However, Yunzhu wasn’t aware of her true feelings. Once she missed something, she would miss it for a lifetime.
Moreover, Yunzhu had personally murdered Baili Rui’s feelings for her.
It was a good thing that he could get over it.
“Yunzhu wants to see Baili Wuchen, and I’d love to know your opinion about it.”
Baili Wuchen had already returned to Long Tianyu’s camp. Lin Mengya had asked him several times. Long Tianyu had said that because Baili Wuchen had been a spy, he had requested her personally to supervise some forces in the dark for him.
It was not difficult for Lin Mengya to see him now.
But what troubled her was that she didn’t know if she should tell him the truth.
After all, it would be a bit cruel for her to do so.
“We can’t tell him! That child has suffered enough because of us. Now, we should let him live in his own way.”
At the mention of his only son, Baili Rui looked a little apologetic and loving.
He caressed the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand, but he didn’t find it as smooth and delicate as the way it was when Wuchen gave it to him because he was greatly moved back then.
At that time, the child knelt in front of him and cried bitterly for his forgiveness.
However, the one who should be begging for forgiveness was him.
When he first saw the child, he felt that the child seemed to have a predestined relationship with him.
Therefore, he took the boy back to raise him in the name of his dead brother and sister-in-law.
He had been raising the boy for eighteen years.
During those years, it was Baili Rui who had watched the child grow up bit by bit. He had watched as the boy grew from a little kid to a smart strategist.
However, what surprised him more was that there was a vermilion mole on the boy’s chest.
That was the symbol of the Baili family. It was also because of this that he was sure that he was fated with the boy.
It was not until Baili Wuchen had grown into a young handsome man that Baili Rui was surprised to find that the boy bore some resemblance to Yunzhu.
She was the only woman whom Baili Rui had ever loved deeply. When he discovered that, he was so shocked that he felt as if the sky was falling.
Therefore, he tried his best to inquire about what had happened that year. He learned that Yunzhu had once given birth to a dead baby, but no one knew where it had gone.
From then on, an earth-shattering idea came to Baili Rui’s mind.
Baili Wuchen, the boy that he picked up by accident and regarded as his own son, might be his biological son.
During those days and nights that he felt greatly tortured, this thought was the only thing that kept him alive.
Later on, Baili Wuchen became the strategist of Prince Yu.
Although Baili Rui did not intend to get involved in this trouble, he was willing to be Prince Yu’s prisoner just to hold on to his only hope.
Now that he knew that the child was his only son, Baili Rui felt that he could die without regrets.
“My son really has a hard life. Therefore, I would rather hide all my secrets than have him bear any more tragedies.”
“Got it. Don’t worry, Master.”
Lin Mengya stood up elegantly and nodded at her teacher.
Everything she did would be based on the feelings of Baili Rui.
Seeing her teacher wave his hand in exhaustion, Lin Mengya got up and walked out of the mansion.
Prince Yu’s Mansion was not what it used to be because the future Emperor and Empress lived there now.
Therefore, apart from some important figures, ordinary people were not allowed to approach the place.
However, a figure stayed in a corner.
She had been staying there for a few days, unwilling to move.
No matter how the guards chased her away, the woman just stood there and refused to leave.
Later on, this matter disturbed the young Duke.
The handsome young Duke only came out to take a look before he said coldly, “Just let her stay there before she dies. All of you, don’t do anything about it.”
Unexpectedly, the woman stood in the corner during the day and left in a hurry at night. She did that again the next day.
Those guards were getting impatient about that woman. However, the noble and beautiful princess in the mansion appeared in front of the crazy woman.
Lin Mengya’s eyes were slightly cold as she said faintly, “Leave.”
Yunzhu, who looked like a stone statue, stared blankly at Lin Mengya. Her light green lips moved slightly, but she could make no sound.
“I’ll get what I’ve promised you done. During these few days, I’ll have him go get something from your place. However, you’re not allowed to recognize him or say anything about his background.”
This was Lin Mengya’s last concession, and she had promised to let the mother and son meet again.
She turned to leave, but Yunzhu grabbed her wide sleeves.
Her voice was hoarse and sounded as if it was squeezed out of her lungs.
The beautiful courtesan who amazed the Capital City at that time no longer had a charming voice.
“Why? Why can’t I recognize him? He is my child, the child I have been missing for over twenty years!”
Her voice was filled with sadness and longing, but it did not arouse any sympathy from Lin Mengya.
She turned around. Yunzhu saw the calmness and coldness in Lin Mengya’s eyes that she had never seen before.
She unconsciously let go of Lin Mengya’s sleeve.
A look of mockery flashed across Lin Mengya’s eyes.
“Do you love your child for real? If so, why did you easily abandon him without identifying his living status when you gave birth to him back then?”
“No! I didn’t abandon him! It was them! They played some tricks to steal him away from me!”
Yunzhu cried out in horror. But Lin Mengya just glanced at her to shut her up before she could say anything more.
“Is that so? You’re the mother of that child, right? Since you’re his mother, even if he were dead, you should have buried him after confirming it, shouldn’t you? Yunzhu, you’ve never loved anyone. You only care about your self-righteous love. Maybe you’re right. Only my teacher can save a poisoned child. But you know what? There’s a mother who has gone through the same thing as you but is willing to sacrifice her life to pave the way for her children. That’s the thing that a mother would normally do, isn’t it?”
What Lin Mengya said didn’t sound severe. In fact, her tone sounded so gentle as if she was whispering to Yunzhu.
But Yunzhu looked at her in a daze, completely dumbfounded.
“You did bring him into this world, but from the day you abandoned him, he no longer has anything to do with you. It was my teacher who raised him, and he tried his best to protect him. You can say that I am selfish, but I must protect my teacher.”
