Just such a biological brother
When Shi Qingxue heard Dong Hui's words, she exploded instantly.
She couldn't bear it anymore and asked loudly: "When mother said this, where did you put Qingmin? How can you bear to treat your own flesh and blood like this?"
Two questions in a row, blunt and biting, made Dong Hui's smile freeze on his face, and he looked at Shi Qingxue in embarrassment, speechless.
After nearly a month of recuperation, Dong Hui was much better than when she gave birth. Although she was still unwilling to admit that the 'monster' was her son, she still couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she was questioned.
For a moment, the laughter and laughter in the room disappeared, leaving only silence and confusion.
Dong Biren didn't understand Shi Qingxue's words, "Who is Qingmin? Isn't Hui'er's son named Tianyou?"
When Shi Qingxue heard Dong Biren's words, she suddenly realized that her mother could really do that!
Not only did they not acknowledge Shi Qingmin's existence, they even planned to completely obliterate him in front of outsiders...
Even the Dong family didn't know about Shi Qingmin's existence. At that time, how could Qingxue expect outsiders to know that there was an eldest son in the Shi family named Shi Qingmin
She glanced at the taciturn Shi Junhe, his expression serious and serious, as if he was questioning, but also as if he was expecting.
Dong Hui refuses to acknowledge Shi Qingmin, so does his father also want to follow Dong Hui's wishes and completely obliterate Shi Qingmin's existence
Shi Junhe's face turned red under Shi Qingxue's sharp gaze. He couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to tell Dong Biren everything.
Dong Biren was extremely surprised, "So, I have a grandson who is now being raised in Qingxue's courtyard?"
"Exactly." Shi Junhe was so ashamed that he didn't dare to look into Dong Biren's eyes.
It's as if one look at it will sting oneself.
Dong Biren slowly figured out the basics of the matter from the strange attitudes of the Shi family and Shi Junhe's vague explanations, but he did not express his opinion immediately, but turned his attention to Shi Qingxue.
Shi Qingxue looked at everyone and said seriously and firmly: "I don't care what you think, Shi Qingmin is my eldest brother, and he will be a direct descendant of the Shi family tree in the future. No one can deny this!"
"No!" Dong Hui also firmly denied.
She once again used her alarmist rhetoric, "That's a 'monster'! What will happen to my Youer if I recognize him? I will never let him harm my Youer. I will never allow such a thing to happen." .”
"Harmful?" Shi Qingxue couldn't help laughing.
This is the first time she shows contempt for Dong Hui's ignorance.
She raised her eyebrows high, looked at the other person, and spoke in a cold and distant voice, "If Qingmin hadn't absorbed the toxins in your body as a baby, do you think you and Tianyou would be as safe as you are now
Even though Qingmin is not good-looking and suffers from many illnesses, you and Tianyou are the least qualified to use the word 'monster' to describe him. Because he became like this because he was bearing the pain for you! "
She told the truth word for word, her voice was stern and her words were sharp.
Put the most unbearable reality in front of Dong Hui, leaving the other party with nowhere to hide.
Shi Qingmin was just a little baby who was not yet one month old. He couldn't feel pain, couldn't cry, and didn't even know what was happening.
Because of his mother's persistence, he survived, but despite his disability, he was despised by his loved ones.
This kind of pain is enough to break your heart just thinking about it. Shi Qingxue was extremely lucky. Shi Qingmin was just a little baby and didn't know anything yet, so he wouldn't feel any pain.
But she couldn't help but watch this apparently most innocent life being mistreated.
Dong Hui wanted to whitewash the situation, but Shi Qingxue wanted to tear apart all the truth.
"No, that's not the case!"
Dong Hui's eyes widened. This was the first time she heard the truth. She denied it before she thought about it carefully.
She couldn't accept this answer.
Shi Qingxue didn't give her a chance to escape, and snorted coldly, "Dr. Shen and Qingmin are both in the house. If you don't believe it, you can ask clearly.
Because you were unwell, mother, and I didn’t want you to worry too much about these things, I hid the truth. But… "
She sighed heavily and looked at Dong Hui with sad and miserable eyes, "Mother, you have gone too far this time!"
"No, I didn't." Dong Hui spoke subconsciously and tried to find a reason to defend herself. "I did this for God's sake. I can't, can't let..."
"Tianyou is your child, isn't Qingmin the same?" Shi Qingxue pointedly asked the key.
She asked Dong Hui again and was speechless, lowering her head in shame.
At this time, Dong Biren spoke, "Since Qingmin is Tianyou's twin brother, naturally we should celebrate his birthday together without any bias."
Father Dong was the senior one, and he was very strict and dignified. As soon as he opened his mouth to make a judgment, others had to act according to Dong Biren's words, no matter how many thoughts they had in mind.
Dong Hui has obeyed Dong Biren's advice since she was a child, and this time is no exception.
But Dong Hui couldn't help but shudder when she thought of Shi Qingmin - even though that child was still her savior in a sense - she really didn't want to have too much contact with him.
It's terrible, and...
Dong Hui suddenly thought of something, and then relented: "Okay, I can admit that weird... The child is the eldest son of the Shi family, but I have three requirements."
"What's the request?" Shi Junhe asked hurriedly.
These days, he has been thinking about how to reconcile the conflict between Dong Hui and his eldest son.
Now Dong Hui finally relaxed. Even if Dong Hui's request is difficult to achieve, he will give it a try.
"First, the situation of that child is obvious to all, so even if he is the eldest son of the Shi family, the position of the eldest son of the Shi family belongs only to Tianyou."
As soon as this was said, no one objected.
Although the country of Mo has always adopted the eldest son inheritance system, parents still have the power to change the heir. This also prevents the heir from being unwilling to make progress or having mediocre qualifications, which will cause the family to fail in the future.
Although Shi Qingmin and Shi Tianyou are just children and have no apparent qualifications, Shi Qingmin's external conditions are not competitive at all.
Shi Junhe just glanced at Shi Qingxue and agreed, "Yes, when You'er turns one year old, I will report to the emperor and ask him to make You'er the heir apparent of Duke Shi."
Dong Hui nodded with satisfaction and said: "Secondly, I can raise Shi Qingmin to adulthood according to the rules of the Shi family's eldest son, and reward him with some money that will be enough for him to live in the future, but the Shi family's The family property belongs to Youer, he cannot covet it."
According to the etiquette and laws of the Mo Kingdom, in addition to inheriting the ancestral home and the things handed down from the ancestors specifically for the heir, the heir also inherits three-quarters of the property, and the other sons share one-fourth of the inherited property equally. This already protects the inheritance rights of the heirs to a great extent.
But Dong Hui's intention was to send Shi Qingmin away with a small amount of money when he came of age, and then let Shi Tianyou completely monopolize the Shi family's property.
This partiality has gone as far as the creaking nest!
Shi Qingxue felt her anger rising again, but then she thought: Although Dong Hui's request was too biased towards Shi Tianyou, they are both the children of their parents. Having a child is already a great favor to their parents, and their parents' property is naturally They give it to whomever they like, and children can only accept it gratefully. How can they count their parents' gold and silver in turn
She pursed her lips, swallowed back the reluctance, nodded and said, "The Shi family's property belongs to my parents. Whatever arrangement my parents want, I should naturally respect your wishes."
Dong Hui smiled even happier, and her next words became more relaxed and casual, "As for the third point! Since Shi Qingmin has been living outside since birth, it's better not to change. I can arrange it. People build a good villa for him to live in, and when he comes of age, the villa will be a home for him, and he won’t have to run around anymore.”
These words seemed like a gift to Shi Qingmin.
Shi Qingxue's expression changed after hearing this, and she stared at Dong Hui in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Dong Hui looked away with a guilty conscience and did not look at Shi Qingxue, "Anyway, my request has been given. It's up to you whether you agree or not.
Tianyou must be hungry, I have to feed him. "
After that, regardless of what others said, she quickly walked into the inner room with Shi Tianyou in her arms.
He walked in a hurry, as if there was an evil spirit chasing him behind him.
Everyone in the outer room was silent, as if they had not yet been able to digest the three requests made by Dong Hui.
Especially the last point, this clearly means that Shi Qingmin needs to leave the Shi family from the beginning.
In name, he is the eldest son of the Shi family, but he lives alone away from the Shi family - which is fine for an adult, but Shi Qingmin is just a baby under a month old!
"This is too much! I don't agree!" Shi Qingxue tried her best to get what she deserved for Shi Qingmin.
She hopes that Dong Hui will recognize Shi Qingmin. In addition to the important matter of identity, she also hopes that Shi Qingmin can come back to live in the Shi family and receive better care.
But Dong Hui was so cruel that she wanted to expel Shi Qingmin completely. It was really too much!
Shi Junhe looked at Shi Qingxue's face full of anger and anger, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
He has been by Dong Hui's side these days, and he knows very well what his wife's real heart is
Dong Hui truly felt from the bottom of her heart that Shi Qingmin had brought bad luck to her and Shi Tianyou, and even felt that as long as Shi Qingmin came even close to them, they would be disturbed.
Even though she knew that Shi Qingmin was just taking the blame, this thought did not weaken.
It's not surprising that even if Dong Hui is willing to admit Shi Qingmin's identity, she will do everything possible to drive him away.
He pondered for a long time, and finally said to Shi Qingxue: "Qingxue, just..."
Shi Junhe didn't dare to look into his daughter's eyes, so he said with difficulty: "Just obey your mother!"
Shi Qingxue: "!!!"
Her eyes widened even more, as she couldn't believe that her beloved and respected father would collude with her mother in this matter.
"Why!"
"Your mother has her own considerations, so why don't you insist any more?" Shi Junhe finally raised his head and met Shi Qingxue's eyes.
