Chapter 892
I am the third concubine son of General Chu of Dongchen Kingdom. Ever since I was sensible, my aunt has complained about my father every day.
The other one is to beat me secretly, why did you beat me secretly, because my aunt will punish her if she sees it.
My father fought abroad for many years and never came back when I was six years old.
My father was enshrined by the emperor because of his military exploits, so my father returned to the capital to be enshrined.
My aunt's elder brother became the heir of the Hou family, but after my father returned to the mansion, my aunt refused to let him into the room.
Whenever there is a chance, I will drive my father out. My father has no choice but to sleep alone in the study.
My aunt begged him on her knees, but she was unwilling to enter my aunt's yard, which was unfair to my mother.
My aunt was crying and fussing, saying that she had sacrificed a lot to give birth to his son, and that she only slept with him once after they got married.
But what was the use of her doing this? My father didn't even look at her.
My aunt got angry with my father and pinched me when she came back to the yard. How could I be her opponent when I was six years old!
For some reason, my aunt suddenly reconciled with my father, and my aunt pinched me even harder.
She quarreled with my father every three days, and my father was a cold-blooded and ruthless general.
All his tenderness was given to his first wife, the eldest princess, so my aunt changed from pinching me every day to pinching my second brother.
Why didn't she pinch my elder brother, because my elder brother is already ten years old.
He was taught very well by his mother, both civil and military. If my aunt dares to pinch him, she definitely wouldn't.
My second brother is not easy to provoke, my aunt pinches him, and he hits me.
My aunt framed my second brother, and in the end, my aunt killed herself.
Not only was I not sad, but I was also very happy. I remember that I was only seven years old, and my aunt almost killed my second brother.
After all, my second brother is only eight years old. Although he doesn't suffer much at ordinary times, he almost dies when he suffers.
My aunt was so angry that she locked my aunt in the woodshed, and my father was so angry that he almost beat her to death.
I went to deliver food to her, and she scolded me: "You are useless, you are not as good at pleasing your father as those two bastards."
Although I am only six years old, I also know why my father likes my two older brothers and younger sisters.
That's because, liking their mother, that's Aiwujiwu, my aunt hates it so much, it's no wonder my father would like me!
So she set the fire herself, thinking that someone would come to save her, but unfortunately the fire was too big and burned her to death.
My father was very guilty of me, but there was no way to save it. My father had no choice but to adopt me under the name of my aunt.
So I became the third son of the Hou Mansion, and I was taught by my aunt to hate my aunt since I was a child.
It is even more important to obey my aunt's words. Although my aunt never made things difficult for our mother and son, my aunt has always hated my aunt.
I also knew that I could not disobey my aunt, otherwise I would be beaten to death, so I obeyed her.
After my aunt died, I was so happy that no one would beat me secretly anymore.
My life is very comfortable, my father has no time to take care of me, he is either fighting at the border or pleasing his wife in the mansion.
It's not that he doesn't have time to take care of me, but he doesn't have time to take care of all his sons.
I was full all day long and ran out to play. When I was tired, I went to the little maid to rub my shoulders and back.
My aunt's death was buried in a cup of loess like my aunt's grave.
I don't like reading classics and history, and I don't like official career and economics. I hang out with girls every day.
At the beginning, my aunt would discipline me, I told her fiercely.
"You killed my aunt, don't think I don't know, what right do you have to control me?"
So my aunt let me do nothing, and seeing that she didn't dare to do anything to me, I became more and more proud.
I have cultivated an arrogant and domineering personality, hardworking, strong and brave, and I have no chance to fight hard.
But happiness always ends when I saw my father on the street.
He was wearing armor and riding on horseback, with a heroic appearance and a handsome and majestic appearance.
He is the most heroic and domineering man I have ever seen, and I was stunned for a moment.
Until the little girl next to me pushed me and reminded me: "Third Young Master, Third Young Master"
I just came back to my senses, and found myself staring at my father's face for a long time, my face turned red immediately, and I quickly lowered my head to pretend to be looking at the road.
My father found me, immediately reined in and got off the horse, walking towards me.
I hurriedly turned around and walked forward, but my father caught up with me and asked, "Sir, why are you here at this time?"
I whispered: "Oh, I'm shopping."
My father frowned and said, "Third son, have you caused trouble again? Shouldn't you be in the academy at this time?"
I looked up at my father, who had an expression of displeasure on his resolute face.
I quickly shook my head and said, "No trouble, today is a holiday."
"Is there really no trouble?" My father asked with narrowed eyes.
I nodded desperately, like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Then why don't you dare look into my eyes?" my father asked in a deep voice.
I froze for a moment, I didn't expect my father to be so sensitive, but now that the words have been made clear.
I'm not afraid to tell him: "I just don't like reading."
My father was furious when he heard the words: "Presumptuous."
"I'm not presumptuous. Is it wrong to not like reading?" I stood up and retorted.
Since I was a child, I have heard people say that my father is a tough guy with a strong military exploits.
In fact, my father was just an ordinary middle-aged man in front of my aunt.
He just comes across as powerful to others, so I try not to be afraid of him.
He was silent for a long time, and then said: "Since you don't want to study, I can't force you."
He paused and continued, "I hope you can practice martial arts well, and in two years, you will go to the battlefield with your father to practice."
"Well, I will." I said.
My father sighed, then got on his horse and galloped away. He had to go to the palace to report on his duties.
I stood there watching the back of my father leaving, feeling a little uncomfortable in my heart, I must have angered him again this time.
I know that swords have no eyes on the battlefield, so my father asked me to go to the battlefield this time.
Of course I won't go, my requirements are not high, as long as I have enough to eat and drink.
Father is a powerful general. He fought bloody battles on the battlefield, killed countless enemies, and made great contributions to our Dongchen Kingdom.
But it seemed to me that my father fought to the death only for his wife.
If he didn't marry a princess, then he wouldn't have to be so tired.
Thinking of this, I suddenly really hated the eldest princess' aunt, and of course I hated it before.
But I am not the kind of hatred taught by my aunt, I just hate why I didn't crawl out of her stomach.
I hate her very much. I never thought there was anything wrong with me hating her, because my aunt has always hated her too.
I am a person without ambition, and I don't want to be an upright general like my father.
Therefore, I am not willing to take risks, not to mention that swords have no eyes on the battlefield.
What if I accidentally get hurt? What if I die on the battlefield?
I'm so happy right now that I don't want to die yet.
It's a pity that my idea is destined to be wrong. You can't have the right to choose when you were born in the Hou Mansion.
I sighed, and then slowly walked towards the gate of the mansion, after entering the courtyard.
I heard my aunt and my second brother quarreling in the yard, and the content of the quarrel made me very puzzled.
I hid outside and secretly listened. My elder brother could read and write poetry since he was a child.
My second brother is not much better than me, and he is also a person who doesn't like reading, and he is often beaten by his aunt.
Neither my father nor my aunt doted on him. My father beat him severely when my second elder brother got angry and made my mother angry.
Although I don't like reading, I don't make my mother angry in front of my father.
And my mother will be more tolerant to me, because I am not her own.
She gently taught me that as long as I was being aggressive, she would back down, so I became more and more proud.
My second brother is not as courageous as I am. He is a child who grew up being beaten.
I heard the second brother say angrily: "Am I your own? I was forced to study literature and martial arts since I was a child, and the third brother doesn't learn anything."
I heard my aunt's voice was a little out of breath, she coughed twice and said.
"Mother is also for your own good. If you think he is really good like that, mother will not force you in the future."
After that, there was a moment of silence, and my aunt cried after hitting him a few times.
The second brother seemed to be hesitating, but after a while, he gritted his teeth and said.
"Mother, don't cry. Since you want me to learn so much, then I'll continue to learn martial arts from the martial artist."
The aunt breathed a sigh of relief, she patted her chest, and said to the second brother earnestly.
"That's fine. Mother knows that you have worked hard in studying. You are a sensible child. Don't worry, parents will never harm you."
After the aunt finished speaking, she burst into tears and smiled, with a hint of gentle pampering in her smile, I am so envious.
Because I saw the love in her smile.
I don't know what's going on, but I actually feel very cold. I feel as if I have been immobilized by someone, and I can't move.
I have never been treated so tenderly since I was a child, let alone pampered.
No, since my aunt died, there was also a person in the Hou Mansion who treated me so tenderly.
"Ah~ ah~ ah~" I put my hands on my head and let out an earth-shattering scream.
I heard the second brother shout in concern: "Third brother, what's wrong with you, third brother?"
The second brother reached out to touch my face, but I knocked it off.
I yelled loudly: "Don't touch me, you go away."
The next thing I felt, a strong arm wrapped around my waist and held me in my arms.
This feeling is very familiar and warm. When my aunt passed away, he often hugged me like this.
I raised my head and looked at the handsome face that was close at hand, his features were picturesque, as beautiful as a banished fairy.
He has a pair of long and narrow red phoenix eyes, revealing a bit of coquettishness, my breath stagnates, and I swallow my saliva unconsciously.
His lips are thin, but his nose is very straight, giving people a delicate feeling.
His skin is fair, his eyelashes are longer than a girl's, his eyes are as deep as the sea, his nose is straight, and his lips are red and full.
He has the most exquisite facial features in the world, but he is like an iceberg, which makes people dare not get close to him, let alone profane.
There is an innate aristocratic elegance between his brows and eyes, even if he frowns, he is still personable, fascinated thousands of girls.
He is my eldest brother who is both good in character and learning, and he is as unattainable as Tianshan snow lotus.
He is the first son of my father and mother, and he is also the treasure in their hands, but he has never been spoiled.
He works hard and knows what he learns, and I am his control group, who knows what he learns.
When such a child grows up, he will be a capable person, just like my father.
"Third brother, where did you go? Why are you so careless? Is there any pain?"
He called me softly and looked down at me with concern and distress in his eyes.
My heart is pounding, every time I get close to him, my heart beats very fast, either he is poisonous or I am sick.
I pushed him away with all my strength, "Stop being hypocritical, I hate you."
There was a hurt expression in his eyes, "Third brother, I didn't do anything wrong."
"Yes, yes, you have done nothing wrong, everyone likes you, and you have the right to stand on top."
I yelled at him in a hoarse voice.
"Third brother, don't say that." I heard a hint of pain and anxiety in my elder brother's voice.
He looks like a cold and heartless person, but I know that he is a gentle and kind man.
Besides, what's the point of him being nice to a good-for-nothing like this? There must be some purpose.
Because I have had a very complicated feeling for him since I was seven years old.
I want to rely on him, but I am afraid that he will dislike me as useless, I want to get closer to him, and I want to get more care and love from him.
But I don't want to be discovered by him, so he will never know what my real thoughts are.
I have seen him secretly countless times, and each time I would stand quietly behind him for a while.
Whenever I see him playing so well with his peers, I can't help feeling sad.
At that time, I often thought: If only I could be as strong as him.
Especially a young lady named Jin Niang who followed him all day long, making him frown.
I knew he didn't like Jinniang, and in the end he married Jinniang, so I hated Jinniang.
Later, he followed my father to the battlefield, and I restrained myself a little, trying not to cause trouble so as not to distract him.
He returned to the mansion once in a while, and he still cared about me as always, asking me how I was doing in the mansion.
He and my father would shelter me from the elements and tell me to enjoy life.
Every time he returns to the mansion, I am very excited and will toss my little concubine until dawn.
As soon as he left the capital, I became listless. He has a concubine he likes very much. For her sake, he will stay in the mansion longer.
It's a pity that he died in the battle with my father. He was only thirty-eight years old that year, and I was in pain.
I always look at my sister-in-law with dark eyes, trying to ruin her. Everyone in the house says I like my sister-in-law.
Said that I looked at her wretchedly, but actually I just wanted to ruin Jinniang, so I framed Jinniang's son together with the emperor...
