Chapter 127 Life Story (6)
Jiang Yingxue quickly stood beside Yan Chuan, a faint smile on her face, trying to ease the tension between the two: "Don't be so confrontational right away, everyone, sit down and talk it over."
But after hearing this, the woman not only didn't show any good face, but her words were full of sharp hostility: "I have nothing to discuss with this kind of beast!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Elf King walked in.
Seeing the tense atmosphere in the room, her eyes darkened slightly, and her voice was filled with dissatisfaction: "Ling'er, why are you talking so harshly? What kind of beast is this? What's going on? Is this half-elf in front of me, who looks 70% like you, related to you?"
The woman's anger subsided a little after she saw the Elf Queen, and she lowered her head: "Queen Mother..."
There was a hint of helplessness and resignation in that voice, but it still couldn't hide the anger and unwillingness in his heart.
After saying this, she quickly called for her maid to take her child away. After the little grandson had left, the woman closed the door tightly and said, "Yes, this half-human, half-elf creature in front of me is indeed my son."
Her voice was icy cold, as if she was speaking of an unforgettable shame: "But I don't admit it! If I had known that he would come back to find me twenty years later, I should have strangled him twenty years ago to prevent this stain from remaining in the world!" Every word she said was resounding, as if she was using all her strength to curse the existence of the past.
These words were like a sharp dagger, piercing Yan Chuan's heart. His face turned pale instantly, and his chest seemed to be blocked by something, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Although he had prepared himself and had no expectations, when he heard his biological mother say this, the pain in his heart was much stronger than he had imagined.
He unconsciously clenched his fists, and his body began to tremble. He whispered, "If that's the case, why did you give birth to me?"
"Do you think I want to?!" The woman raised her head suddenly, her eyes as sharp as a knife, staring straight at Yan Chuan.
Her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, her nails nearly piercing her palms. "Back then, I was naive and ignorant, passing by the theater, but your father took a fancy to me. Then, the masters around him teamed up and locked me up. That bitch Xu Shijie!" Her voice was laced with intense hatred, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth. "He force-fed me drugs and violated me, but when I escaped, I found out I was pregnant with you."
Her voice was heavy on the last few words, as if she wanted to completely tear the humiliating memory from her heart. "Once we elves get pregnant, we can't abort the child, or we'll die. But why should I die? There's someone else who deserves to die! Xu Shijie is the one who deserves to die!"
At this time, the Elf King's expression had become extremely solemn.
She hurried forward, eagerly grasping her daughter's shoulders, her eyes filled with worry and shock. "Is everything you said true?!" The Elf King's voice trembled slightly, and it was clear that these words were a shock to her. "You didn't tell me all these years..."
The woman swallowed and lowered her head, trying hard to hold back the tears in her eyes, but her brows were still filled with anger and unwillingness. The Elf King gripped her shoulders tightly and asked anxiously, "Why didn't you tell me? You are the Elf Princess! You are a princess!"
"It's because I'm a princess! Because I have dignity, that's why I've held it in for so long!" The Fifth Princess' voice was almost hysterical. Her hands tightly grasped her skirt, her face flushed.
"Ridiculous! You are my daughter! What do you want? In that case, Queen Mother, send troops to kill Xu Shijie now!" The Elf King's voice was filled with rage, and the fluctuations in his voice even made the surrounding air tremble.
The tea tray on the table shook violently as her emotions erupted, and then with a "pop", several delicate porcelain cups exploded on the table, and small pieces of porcelain scattered all over the floor.
The Fifth Princess grasped the Elf King's hand and slowly shook her head, "Queen Mother, this matter is over... If he hadn't appeared, I would never have mentioned this matter again in my life."
After saying that, she slowly looked at Yan Chuan: "Since it's over, please don't show up in front of me. I've found my lover and have a child with him. As for you, please get as far away as you can! Go back to your Xu Mansion!"
Yan Chuan looked at his mother's collapsed expression and finally could not say a word. It turned out that his biological mother was forced, it turned out that his birth was a mistake, it turned out that no one was looking forward to his birth from the beginning.
Those servants were right, I was just a bastard that no one wanted.
Yan Chuan's eyes began to become empty and lifeless. He didn't know what else he could do at this moment. The only thing he could do was to stand there and let the painful emotion consume him, until a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Jiang Yingxue pulled him over, opened her arms, and protected Yan Chuan behind her. Her tone was particularly firm: "Fifth Princess... I am also very sad to hear about your experience. But Yan Chuan is not as good as you think..."
Yan Chuan was in a daze for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he only saw Jiang Yingxue's back. Yan Chuan's heart trembled slightly. Jiang Yingxue was so thin... Was she... protecting herself?
Just as her thoughts were in disarray, the Fifth Princess asked Jiang Yingxue, "What do you mean by that?"
"I've been unable to understand why a princess of the elven race wouldn't seek revenge after being humiliated. If I were you, I would definitely kill the person who betrayed me. But you didn't. Even though you were trembling with anger, you didn't do it. Why?"
The Fifth Princess's eyes were somewhat evasive. She turned her head away, not bothering to explain: "Do I need to explain to you what I did?"
"Then I can only make a bold guess, because you can't let go of my senior brother, right?"
The Fifth Princess remained silent, so Jiang Yingxue pulled Yan Chuan to her side, took his arm, and continued, "Fifth Princess, this man with half elf blood is called Yan Chuan, but his last name is not Xu."
Hearing this, the Fifth Princess's expression changed slightly: "Why don't you have the surname Xu?"
Yan Chuan turned his head away: "This is not important to you, is it?"
Jiang Yingxue gently stroked Yan Chuan, then said to the Fifth Princess, "Because the Xu family doesn't treat Yan Chuan as a human being."
The Fifth Princess slowly shook her head. "Impossible! When I gave the child to the Xu family, they were so happy to learn that the child had spiritual roots. They should have treated you as a treasure!"
"Yes, at the beginning Prime Minister Xu did regard him as a treasure, but his appearance was a treasure to Prime Minister Xu, but a threat to the other concubines and heirs."
