"Well, you mother and daughter are very good." Duke Yingguo Shizi stood up and sneered again and again. "That Chen boy, has been instigated by you since childhood to scheme me his father and scheme his half di sister!"

 

"No." Han shi painfully cried out, without manners, tears and snots, hand and feet crawled towards Duke Yingguo Shizi, "Chen boy, he doesn't know anything, he really admires you as a father. Shizi, this thousand mistakes are this slave's fault, don't be angry with Chen boy for this."

 

Han shi kept talking about Gao Chen. Duke Yingguo Shizi sneered, really feeling sad: "You are pleading for Gao Chen, are you afraid that I will have opinions on him and will not leave him Shizi’s position? Oh, no wonder, it turns out you have been aiming for this all these years." Duke Yingguo Shizi laughed sarcastically. He suddenly changed his voice, and his words were as sharp as a knife: "The year Gao Chen was born, you fainted in the ancestral hall, at that time was you really not know that Wei shi was pregnant?"

 

Han shi suddenly paused: "This concubine..."

 

"You know." Duke Yingguo Shizi looked at Han shi's expression, his tone was calm. After speaking, he suddenly became furious: "You really know! You know that she is pregnant, but you still push me to find her. Later, she miscarriage our di son. Are you happy that I finally gave the position to your son?"

 

Han shi shook her head desperately and her lips kept saying "I don't", but everyone knew that this sentence had no credibility at all. Duke Yingguo Shizi felt a burst of pain coming from his four limbs and his bones, first blunt, and then almost gouging his heart and devour his bones. In that conflict, he personally killed his and Wei shi's child, and then Wei shi also died. His wife was born noble, beautiful and dignified, and she always dismissed him, cold and indifferent, but he killed her.

 

Duke Yingguo Shizi was trembling all over, gradually couldn't control himself. All these years he had shown that he didn’t care, and he wanted to tell everyone that he did not regret or feel guilty. He had pretended for more than ten years, and gradually everyone believe that he had no affection for Wei Shi, and had forgotten about this wife, but he could not lie to himself.

 

He didn’t remarry after Wei shi's death, and let his direct di line be severed. The Duke Yingguo reminded him many times that only his di son could inherit the equal rank, and if it was a shu son, he would be demoted one or two ranks. In other words, if he passed the position of Shizi to Gao Chen, then the Duke position of the Gao family would be lowered to the rank of Marquis, or even lower.

 

But his wife was dead, and he unlikely to have any more sons. Even the year before last, Wei Shi and his only blood line, Gao Xi, died. There was no way to recover his mistake.

 

Duke Yingguo Shizi had dull pain in his chest and could hardly stand. He didn't want to let others see him like this. He suddenly lifted his foot, kicked Han shi who was holding his leg, and walked over with large strides: "You murdered a concubine, harmed the di bloodline, and deliberately framed your mistress. When I report to my mother tomorrow, I will let the servant sell you."

 

"Shizi!" Han shi fell on the ground, ignoring the wound on her stomach, and hurriedly chased after Duke Yingguo Shizi. But how could she catch up, in a blink of an eye Duke Yingguo Shizi went out.

 

The maid hiding outside the room called out "Yiniang" timidly, and Han shi felt the pain in her lower abdomen. She couldn't straighten her belly and waist, but at this time, she had no time to think about her injury. She was full of thoughts. If Shizi told Duke Yingguo old madam tomorrow, would she really be sold? Could the Duke Yinnguo’s title still fall to Gao Chen’s hands?

 

Duke Yingguo Shizi’s face was pale, he scolded his attendant away, and led his horse to gallop in the night breeze. He couldn't distinguish the direction in the dark, and he didn't want to recognize it clearly. He kept pumping his horse, and gradually his horse’s speed soared to an uncontrollable level. The night breeze was already a little painful on his face, and Duke Yingguo Shizi let his thoughts wander. He was only seventeen when he married Wei shi. It was when the young man had high spirit. At that time, he thought his newly married wife looks very good, but he didn't like her temper. Later, their daughter Gao Xi was born. During the time when Gao Xi was born, their husband and wife reached an unprecedented harmony, but the good times did not last long. Later, Duke Yingguo old madam disliked that Wei shi was arrogant and said that she would raise Gao Xi. How could Wei shi not refuse, it seems that since then, the husband and wife relationship between him and Wei shi became irretrievably worsened until it slipped into the abyss.

 

Gao Xi and Gao Ran were very different. Gao Xi had always been headstrong since she was a child, and her character was stronger than her mother. Gao Xi was close to Wei shi and had a strong temper. He always feels very boring when facing this di daughter and had no authority as the father, so gradually, he preferred to talk to Gao Ran. After Wei shi died, he actually thought about making up with Gao Xi, but Gao Xi always showed disappointment and resentment when she saw him, constantly reminding him how Wei shi died.

 

As a result, Duke Yingguo Shizi avoided Gao Xi more and more. In the end, even when father and daughter stood face to face they had nothing to say. On the contrary, Gao Ran often showed a young daughter's delicateness to him, as if Gao Ran was his di daughter.

 

After Gao Xi married into Yan Wang Mansion, Duke Yingguo Shizi was undoubtedly relieved. That's good. She married well and didn’t have to see her father again in the future. It's a joy for everyone. Later, he heard that Gao Xi and the only son of Yan Wang didn’t get along. Duke Yingguo Shizi subconsciously felt that it was Gao Xi's problem. Gao Xi's character was too tough. As for going to Yan Wang Mansion to support Gao Xi? There was Grand Princess Shou Kang.

 

Duke Yingguo Shizi felt pain again when he thought of this, and felt very shameful. When Gao Xi was dying in Yan Wang Mansion, he felt that Gao Xi's maternal family was high and always had someone to help her out, so he let himself be immersed in his own affairs. But half a month ago, he heard that Gao Ran was coldly treated by his son-in-law, and he went to settle accounts almost immediately. Now thinking about it, he as a father couldn’t distinguish between true or false, couldn’t recognize people clearly, and regards fish eyes as treasures, but neglected his true treasure, which was simply sad and funny.

 

Duke Yingguo Shizi closed his eyes, and let the almost crazy horse lead him into the dark night.

 

Early the next morning, Duke Yingguo old madam got up and found that her son had not come to pay respect. She didn't take it seriously. Sons and daughter-in-laws were different. If the son slept in and didn’t come to give morning greeting, the old madam wouldn’t blame him, instead felt sorry for her tired son. At noon, the young manservant in Shizi’s courtyard came to report that Shizi had not returned, and the old madam felt that the matter was a bit serious.

 

"Shizi didn't return last night?"

 

"Yes."

 

The old madam frowned. She thought that her son had a lot of friends, and it was common for him to stay away from home for a few days. Maybe he stayed at a friend's house last night. Duke Yingguo old madam said: "Maybe he drank wine last night, and still haven't woken up yet. When Shizi comes back, you should report to me immediately."

 

"Yes."

 

Something like this happened before, but somehow this time Duke Yingguo old madam’s heart was restless, and gradually she couldn't sit still. The old madam called the servants in her son’s courtyard three times, and every time there was no news. Duke Yingguo old madam finally lost her temper and said: "You go to the houses of the families whom Shizi have good relationship with. Whatever the case get Shizi to come home. If still want to have fun, let’s talk about it tomorrow, now go home first. How can he not go home for two days in a row."

 

The servants ran out in response. Gradually, the sun went down and the stars moved eastward, but the news from the returning servants became more and more unfavorable: "Old madam, this one has gone ask to several families, and several young masters have said that they have not seen Shizi."

 

Han shi brought Gao Chen to greet the old madam, and when she heard the words inside, her fingers curled up lightly. Duke Yingguo old madam saw Han shi and asked, "Did you see Shizi yesterday?"

 

Han shi's face was tense, and she said carefully: "This slave saw Shizi last night, and then Shizi went out again, hasn't Shizi returned yet?"

 

"People hasn’t seen his shadow all day and night." Duke Yingguo old madam looked anxious and angry. "He is really, where he went, why he didn't send the words to his family. Do you know where he went?"

 

Han shi opened her mouth, but suddenly stopped. Duke Yingguo old madam just asked casually, and did not really expect Han shi to know the answer, so she also missed the hesitation on Han shi’s face. In the end, Han shi closed her mouth and bowed her head and said, "This concubine doesn't know. Perhaps Shizi went drinking somewhere, old madam doesn’t need to worry, wait for Shizi to come back."

 

Duke Yingguo old madam sighed like she was grumbling.
