After my love-brained mother read my mind, I kicked out my scumbag father and divorced him

Although summer has arrived in the capital, the nights are still chilly and windy.

Especially under the bridge arches with ventilation at both ends.

When the wind blows, it brings the water vapor from the moat and blows it onto people, making their hair stand on end.

"Brother Yi." Wen Hongshen, wrapped in thin clothes, asked in an unbearable manner, "Why do you insist on letting the two of us sleep here? I still have some money on me. I can go to the inn to find a room and take a hot bath."

"Cousin, you don't know this."

Wen Chengyi smiled evilly and said, "You have read so many books, why don't you read Sun Tzu's Art of War? This is a self-torture trick!"

"You mean, you deliberately made us look miserable so that Qu would come looking for us?"

"Exactly!"

"But..." Wen Chengyi glanced around and said, "There are no spies of the Qu family around here. Even if you and I freeze to death here, she won't know."

Wen Chengyi made a gesture to keep quiet.

"You look like there's no one around, maybe someone is hiding in the dark and watching us."

"Maybe... someone has already gone to find Qu to tell her that we are staying under the bridge tonight."

"Don't worry, cousin, Qu will be here to pick us up soon."

As Wen Chengyi spoke, he deliberately took off his coat, but the cold wind still made his lips turn purple.

Wen Hongshen was silent for a long time and could only agree.

The bridge tunnel in Beijing was too cold at night, and he could only run a few steps from time to time to generate some heat from his body.

They didn't know how many steps they ran or how many times they stamped their cold and stiff feet, but they still didn't see Qu.

As it was getting to the second half of the night, the night wind became stronger.

Wen Hongshen felt that his cheeks were no longer his own.

He finally couldn't help but speak again: "Brother Yi, let's go to the inn to sleep. I'm afraid that Qu is angry today because you sided with me, so she won't come to look for us."

Wen Hongshen finished speaking, but heard no response.

He crossed his arms and looked at Wen Chengyi in confusion.

Wen Chengyi, who was leaning against the wall of the bridge, fell asleep at some point.

"Brother Yi, can you fall asleep like this?"

Wen Hongshen's face was full of admiration.

But soon, Wen Hongshen felt something was wrong.

Wen Chengyi didn't move at all, his chest didn't rise or fall at all, and his face looked even paler under the moonlight.

Like a dead person.

Wen Hongshen was startled and quickly reached out to push Wen Chengyi.

With just a slight force, Wen Chengyi fell straight to the ground.

late at night.

A scream cut through the sky.

"Someone come! Help!"

……

When the news reached the Baihu Mansion, Qu was sleeping soundly with Wen Qianqian in her arms.

When she heard Ginkgo knocking on the door and coming in to report, she was so startled that she sat up straight.

"You said that the fake one died?"

Ginkgo nodded and shook her head.

"To be precise, it's uncertain whether he will live or die."

"He fell asleep under the bridge, and the cold air entered his body. He is now running a high fever."

Gingko said, and asked tentatively: "Girl, should we go visit him?"

"Where are the others?"

"In the house near the bridge tunnel, the night watchman heard Wen Hongshen's cry for help and asked the people nearby to help rescue him."

Qu was a little hesitant.

Although this son was a fake, he was raised by her since childhood.

When she heard that his life or death was in danger, her heart ached.

Just when she was about to soften her heart, Wen Qianqian's milky voice rang out: "Mother, he just slept under the bridge for one night. Who knows how many years the real second brother has slept under the bridge!"

Hearing this, Qu's wavering heart instantly became firm.

"Don't go!"

"I have expelled him from the family tree. Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me."

"Yes!"

As soon as Ginkgo responded, she felt that her girl had become a little different.

In the past, the girl would blame herself even if she stepped on an ant to death.

Now, even though he had heard about a matter of life and death, he remained unmoved.

Such changes make Ginkgo feel gratified.

Only by being ruthless can you escape from the cage of the Wen family.

"Then have a good rest, young lady. I will withdraw now."

Ginkgo blew out the candle and quietly walked out.

That night, Qu thought she would suffer from insomnia, but unexpectedly, smelling the milk scent on Qianqian's body, she slept very soundly.

……

The roosters crowed and the sky brightened.

After a night of high fever, Wen Chengyi finally woke up slowly.

He turned his head and saw Wen Hongshen lying beside his bed.

"cousin……?"

Wen Hongshen moved and opened his tired eyes.

Seeing Wen Chengyi looking at him with his eyes open, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, the doctor said, if the patient doesn’t wake up today, he might never wake up again.

If Wen Chengyi died, it would be difficult for him to return to the Baihu Mansion.

Fortunately, Wen Chengyi survived.

He excitedly helped Wen Chengyi sit up.

"Brother Yi, you're awake! Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"

"I feel a little dizzy... and my throat hurts. By the way, cousin, where is this? This place doesn't look like our house."

He thought he was sleeping in bed and had returned to the Hundred Households Mansion.

Wen Hongshen said, "You caught a cold and fainted last night. I called for help in time and rescued you. This is a farmer's home."

Wen Chengyi had a vague impression.

He nodded and asked anxiously, "Where is Qu? Did she come to look for me?"

He has fainted from a cold, and Mrs. Qu must be extremely worried now.

"Qu..." Wen Hongshen hesitated and said, "I have never been here."

"How is that possible? Didn't she get the news? Cousin, please send the message to the mansion quickly. Qu will definitely come to pick me up."

"I asked the night watchman to pass on the message last night, but there was no response."

"How is it possible? Doesn't the Qu family care about the life or death of my son?"

Wen Hongshen thought for a moment and said, "There is only one possibility. The news did not reach Mrs. Qu's ears. After all, it was a stranger knocking on the door in the middle of the night. They didn't dare to wake Mrs. Qu casually. You wait for a moment, I will ask someone to report it again."

"Then send someone away!"

"it is good."

Wen Hongshen stood up and was about to go out when he happened to meet the man of this family coming in.

"Hey, are you awake?"

Seeing that Wen Chengyi was in good spirits, the man smiled and said, "I was lucky to have saved you. But we spent a lot of money to hire a doctor last night. Please... return the money to us."

Wen Chengyi's face was full of disdain.

"Isn't it just money? Just wait, wait for Qu... wait for mother to come to me, and naturally you will get some benefits."

"Yes Yes."

"Come and make some food. I'm hungry."

"Yes, yes. I'll go right away."

Soon, the man brought a lot of food.

These were things they usually wouldn't eat, but now they all came up.

Just because Wen Chengyi and Wen Hongshen were dressed in extraordinary clothes, one could tell at a glance that they were sons of high-ranking officials.

Maybe he had a conflict with his family, which is why he slept under the bridge yesterday.

He has found a treasure!

Wen Chengyi saw that this man was quite sensible. After he had eaten and drunk his fill, he said, "Go to Captain Wen's house now and tell my mother that I have a high fever and fainted. I am staying at your house. Ask her to come and see me as soon as possible."

The man's eyes lit up.

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to report the news. I will go right away!"
