Chapter 338
Le Zhengzhi was worried about Bai Zhi. Le Zhenglin wanted to kneel down and recognize his mother. Now that they knew the truth, there was no need to stop him.
As a result, An Ruosu turned around and slapped him in the face, and blamed him for not telling her the truth earlier. Le Zhengzhi was like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express his pain.
Looking at her and remembering the pain he and Bai Zhi had endured, Le Zhengzhi could only accept the slap.
"Mother, I am unfilial. I am back."
An Ruosu looked at him and felt that they looked like a couple. She was certain that she was the child who was replaced by the old man before she could even see him. In an instant, she was returned to that time.
From pregnancy to childbirth, An Ruosu suffered a lot for this youngest son. It was because of him that she made up her mind to retire, thinking that at least one son would grow up with her company.
Perhaps because she stayed at home with good food and drink and moved less, An Ruosu felt that there must be a big fat boy in her belly. She even joked with the maid beside her that it was difficult to have a child. The maid responded by using her identity as a Taoist priest.
An Ruosu has been much gentler towards this youngest child than the previous two since she was in her womb. Unlike before, when she couldn't wait for them to come out, she was both looking forward to this youngest child coming out and afraid that he would come out too early.
Finally, the day of delivery arrived. An Ruosu had tried her best. Her difficult birth was just as she said. An Ruosu was exhausted and fell asleep after giving birth.
When she woke up and wanted to see the child happily, she felt something was wrong with the maid. Although she basically didn't follow An Ruosu when she went out since she became a Taoist priest, they grew up together after all, and she could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with her.
She quickly realized that something might have happened to her youngest son, but when she went over, she saw that there was indeed a child lying in the cradle.
He was a big fat boy. An Ruosu couldn't help wanting to touch his little face, so she finally opened the swaddling clothes.
"Girl? How come?"
The maid hurriedly swaddled the child, explaining: "I see that the young lady's child is very different from when she was pregnant. I wonder if it will be a girl."
"you are lying."
An Ruosu exposed it directly. The maid paused for a moment and then continued to clean up.
"Didn't Miss want to have a daughter before? Now it's great, we have both a son and a daughter." She picked up the child and tried to let An Ruosu hug her, but An Ruosu didn't want to hug her. "This child is really well-behaved. She didn't cry or make a fuss because she didn't want to disturb Miss's rest. But it's been several hours, and she should not be hungry."
The maid tried to teach her about the child, but An Ruosu still refused to accept it and took a few steps back.
"Tell me honestly, where did he go?"
The maid knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she held the child in tears and advised her: "Miss, please have pity on the child."
"Who will take pity on my child? Where is my child now? Is he cold? Is he hungry? Who will take pity on him? Who will take pity on him?" An Ruosu's eyes were full of anger, and she asked hysterically, but she soon came to her senses. The maid had no say in this matter. "I know you can't do such a thing. Just tell me, who is this child?"
The maid knew her temper very well and would not stop until she got to the bottom of it. She hesitated and said, "I don't know. The old man didn't say it clearly. It's probably... the master of the family."
When An Ruosu heard this, she understood that he was exchanging her own child's life for hers. She felt dizzy and sat on the ground. The maid hurriedly put down the child and came to help her.
"That's his own great-grandson, how could he be so cruel?" An Ruosu closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She couldn't just give up. She turned to look at the maid beside her, with a gleam of determination in her eyes: "I will go find my son, no matter where he is, I will find him. I will go and exchange them back."
The maid rushed over and hugged her desperately to stop her, letting her struggle and scream hysterically.
"Miss! Miss!" An Ruosu finally calmed down a little after she called him. "Miss has been in a coma for several hours. When I knew that the old man might have been replaced by the daughter of the head of the He family, I sent people to keep an eye on the compound... I heard that Banxia from Huichun Hall accidentally dropped the child into the Qianhe Pond because of a personal grudge, and there was no way to save the child. Madam Murong also went crazy and ran into the Black Forest."
"You...what did you just say? What do you mean by no way to save the situation?"
"Miss, now that things have come to this, if she is known to others, both the master and the young master will be implicated. You should just accept it."
"What did you mean there's no way to save the situation? Say it again."
"Miss!"
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I want to exchange the child back. Xuan, Su, come out quickly." There was no response, An Ruosu was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that Xuan and Su were taken away by Le Zhenglei, and then she laughed wildly, "You are so good, Le Zhengmingjiu, it turns out that you have been plotting against me and the child for a long time. The hatred of killing my son is irreconcilable."
An Ruosu overturned the cradle, but fortunately the maid reacted quickly and rescued the baby girl. Looking at the baby girl crying in her arms, An Ruosu's eyes were filled with hatred.
At this moment, a young man kneeling in front of her seemed so unreal.
An Ruosu approached him, stroked his face, felt his facial features, his breath, his temperature, as if she wanted to engrave this moment deeply into her memory.
There were complex emotions flashing in her eyes, including the joy of regaining what had been lost, deep sorrow for the past, and a sense of unreality.
"What's your name?"
An Ruosu's tone was cold and her eyes were also very cold.
"My name is Lin, Lin Zhi Zhi, Zhen Zhen Gong Zi, Yu Jie Lin Xi. Master said that this name was given to me by Master Zhi."
An Ruosu immediately understood that this was a blessing from Le Zhengzhi, who thought he was Le Zhenghe's son. She didn't want her son to have any more entanglements with them.
"Although the name is good, it doesn't suit you. My husband and I thought about it and finally decided on a single name, An."
Le Zhenglin had some understanding of his family's situation, so he immediately understood why they chose the character "An".
Yes, Le Zheng cleverly chose the word "Lin" in the hope that he could inherit Le Zhenghe's spirit and move forward with Le Zheng.
Le Zhenglei, An Ruosu and their two sons have already achieved success and fame. As he is much older than them, An Ruosu and Le Zhenglei hope that he can live a peaceful and smooth life, not caring about fame, wealth or fortune. This is also human nature.
When Yin Li told him about his life story, Le Zhenglin couldn't accept it. After all, he had worked hard for Le Zheng's future, but in the end, neither Nangong nor Le Zheng could get it.
Le Zhenglin felt somewhat resentful about the old man's behavior, because everyone knew that at that time, Le Zhenghe's child would most likely not survive, and even if he survived, he would be ostracized and would not have an easy life. He was undoubtedly sending himself to death.
After hearing that Murong Ying gave birth to a daughter, Le Zhenglin felt that there was no need for him to do so. The Taoist family only sounded good on the surface, but in reality it still favored men. Therefore, in history, there were far fewer female family heads than male ones, and the same was true for the Taoists in Fengwu City.
Le Zhenglin wanted to turn around and leave with resentment, but Yin Li told him, "Why don't you go and take a look? You can't resent the old man, but the culprit is still there."
"The culprit?"
"If they hadn't attacked the head of the He family for their own power, no one would have had to suffer this. You are not the only one who has been separated from your loved ones. After all, the children who participated in the child exchange, including the head of the He family's children, were all like this. What's more, your mother will be here too. If she knew the truth but couldn't see you, she would be very worried."
"Will she be anxious? I'm afraid she also agreed. Maybe she was the one who came up with the idea."
"You're being a little arbitrary, aren't you? You'll know once you go there. Why hurt yourself with such unhappiness? Whoever is at fault should bear the consequences."
Le Zhenglin was persuaded and came here. When he saw An Ruosu's reaction, especially when he heard her say his name, even though he didn't know the truth, Le Zhenglin could feel his mother's love for him.
"Le Zhengan? It's simple, but it takes some time to get used to it."
The two smiled at each other, as if all the haze had been dispelled. At this moment, the love between mother and son was beyond words.
