Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

When Gu Shiming heard what the servant said, his face changed drastically and he left everyone else and hurried back to the mansion.

"Hurry up!" Gu Shiming urged the coachman, feeling extremely anxious.

How could my father treat my mother like this!

Gu Shiming understood one thing ever since he could remember, that is, his father did not love his mother, and they just got married by accident.

When he was a child, he often woke up at night and heard his mother crying. But when he grew up, his mother stopped crying.

This made Gu Shiming very confused. Did his mother no longer love his father?

But gradually he seemed to understand that his mother might still have his father in her heart, but his father's actions over the years had made his mother numb.

But the mother had no way to stop the father. This was the way the world was. Men always had more power than women and could do whatever they wanted.

Due to the current situation, the mother cannot divorce the father, nor can she abandon the child.

So she could only make herself numb, take charge of all matters in the mansion, teach the children, and deal with the mess caused by her father.

For example, my mother would withdraw money from the account to give to those women my father had slept with.

Gu Shiming witnessed his mother's eyes change from bright to numb and dim.

So little Gu Shiming decided that he would only marry one wife and be good to her all his life.

Just like, just like Prime Minister Mu!

In fact, he started paying attention to Mu Jinfeng before he even knew him.

Mu Jinfeng has a father who is loyal to his wife, and there are no concubines in the house, which is very clean.

Gu Shiming was very jealous of Mu Jinfeng, jealous that his father only loved his mother and also loved him.

Completely different from Gu Shiming's father.

So when Gu Shiming realized that Mu Jinfeng wanted to be friends with him, his first reaction was rejection, and he brought people to block Mu Jinfeng.

Maybe in this way he could convince himself that Mu Jinfeng's life was not all smooth sailing, even though Mu Jinfeng's setbacks were caused by him.

On a dark night, my father suddenly came to the main courtyard and stayed overnight.

At first, Gu Shiming didn’t know why his father suddenly went to his mother. He naively thought that his father was going to reconcile with his mother, and wondered if he would become a person like Mu Jinfeng who had both fatherly and motherly love.

But the next morning, he heard the maids whispering in the corner.

"Have you heard? The Marquis was drunk outside and broke into the main courtyard shouting Ayu's name!"

"Ah? The name Ayu, could it be that Aunt Yu?"

"Yes, if he hadn't been drunk, why would the Marquis have been hospitalized?"

"Then the lady wouldn't have heard it too!"

"...The Marquis shouted so loudly, how could Madam not hear it?"

"..."

Gu Shiming froze in place, his hands clenched into fists, his nails digging into his flesh. Strands of blood slowly dripped onto the ground, then were gradually absorbed by the soil and disappeared.

He seemed to hear bursts of roaring sounds in his ears, and the conversation the maids had just had was repeated in his mind.

how can that be possible?

Impossible, impossible...

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Shiming fell to the ground in a dizziness.

He ignored the traces of mud on his clothes and ran quickly to find his mother. These words must have been deliberately made up by the maids. Yes, they must have been!

When Gu Shiming ran to his mother's yard, he slowed down his pace and pretended to be visiting his mother.

He avoided maids and servants along the way and finally arrived at his mother's door. After opening the door, the scene inside made the then young Gu Shiming stunned.

The room was in a mess, with broken porcelain pieces all over the floor, overturned tables and chairs, and hairpins and clothes scattered all over the floor.

Gu Shiming saw his mother, who was wearing a plain robe, sitting in front of the dressing table with her back to him, quietly looking at herself in the mirror, wondering what she was thinking.

He didn't dare to make a sound.

For a moment, Gu Shiming felt as if his mother was about to disappear. The huge panic made him shout out, "Mom!"

The mother seemed to shudder, turned her head to look at him, and a stiff smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

"Ming'er is here."

"Why are you here so early today? Mother hasn't even finished dressing yet."

His mother's words were still the same as before, but Gu Shiming inexplicably felt that something was wrong with his mother.

She seemed sad and upset.

Gu Shiming stepped forward and hugged his mother. His mother was stunned and slowly stroked Ming'er's head gently with her hand.

"What's wrong? Has my son been wronged?"

When he heard his mother's concerned voice, Gu Shiming burst into tears. He would not tell the truth and make his mother sad too.

So he told the first lie in his life, "Mom, I had a nightmare."

He said coquettishly.

He listened to his mother's laughter and hugged her even tighter.

"Don't cry, how about I hum a song for Ming'er?"

"My mother used to hum this song to comfort me!"

Gu Shiming nodded quickly to indicate that he was willing to listen.

That day, he fell asleep peacefully in his mother's arms, listening to the most beautiful songs.

In his sleep, Gu Shiming vaguely felt a drop of water falling on his face.

Is it raining?

When Gu Shiming woke up, he was already in his room.

So he made his second decision that he would hum this song for his wife when he got married!

Two months later, the doctor diagnosed that my mother was pregnant.

But his mother didn't seem happy. Gu Shiming often saw his mother pressing her belly with her hands with an expressionless face.

Is it a stomachache?

When his mother saw him, she gently called him over and said, as if admonishing or talking to herself, "Ming'er, you are different. I hope this child will be different too."

Gu Shiming didn’t understand. What’s the difference?

He only knew that his mother wanted the baby in her belly to be different like him.

So he nodded firmly, "All mothers' children are different!"

After saying this, he saw his mother smile with satisfaction.

She touched her belly and murmured to herself, "That's good, that's good, just don't be like him..."

Gu Shiming was close to his mother, so he heard the second half of the sentence.

he?

Do you mean father?

Don’t worry, mother. He and the baby in your belly will never make you sad like their father did!

He will educate his younger brother or sister well!

When I teach my younger brothers and sisters to walk in the future, they will definitely walk around their father.

Gu Shiming visited his mother every day, so he noticed that his mother was getting thinner and thinner, but her belly was slowly swelling, until it seemed bigger than his head.

The mother struggled to walk around the yard every day, and Gu Shiming would follow her.

It was not until the day his mother gave birth that Gu Shiming got rid of the maids who did not allow him to go to his mother's yard. After he arrived at his mother's yard, he listened to his mother's hoarse screams.

Only then did Gu Shiming realize that this was the farthest distance between him and his mother.

Giving birth causes pain to the mother!

Gu Shiming listened to the midwife carrying out blood in basins.

Giving birth can also kill the mother!

Gu Shiming, in a daze, finally saw his unconscious mother and his weak sister.

The father never came.
