Crossing fortune telling: Mental illnesses running in both directions

After experiencing a coma, Duan Tinghan finished his treatment and felt his body relaxed like never before.

There is no more suppressed coughing and suffocation feeling, and no more body pain and numbness.

In fact, when he was very young, his body was not so weak. Except that he was more afraid of the cold than others, he was no different from a normal child most of the time.

When did the change occur?

Ah... he seemed to remember that it started when he was four years old. The Marquis of Xicheng brought Duan Tingzhuo to his mansion on the grounds that he did not want his wife to be depressed because of worrying about his health.

He was not fostered, but was directly adopted as the second son of the Marquisate when his health was not too bad.

He was very smart. At the age of five, he had already mastered how to exclude him quietly or throw dirty water on him inadvertently.

The child's tricks are as transparent as can be in the eyes of the elders, but the strange thing is that no matter what he does, others can just brush it off by saying that the child is ignorant.

Or, like countless times later, you believed his lies and really heaped undeserved reputation on him.

At first he would seriously explain the reason, but in return what he got was Xicheng Hou's words that he was so petty and intolerant.

Even the Marquis's wife was the same, spending more of her time and attention on Duan Tingzhuo.

Over time, he stopped making excuses.

A group of deviated beings who never care about the truth and just follow Duan Tingzhuo's interests.

His body gradually became weaker and he could not even appear in public for a long time. However, the Xicheng Marquis and his wife placed all their energy and expectations on Duan Tingzhuo.

It was as if Duan Tingzhuo was their biological son.

At that moment, a voice came to his mind, or perhaps it was a sudden realization: ...it turns out that I can be replaced.

He was merely born to her, and could be easily abandoned if he became a bit of a burden.

Since they had already decided to abandon him, they could just let him go and die on his own. But whether it was Duan Tingzhuo or the Xicheng Hou couple, they both pretended to be very worried about him in front of others and searched for folk doctors to cure him.

Even like now, I come to the foot of the Sun Moon Valley once a year to try my luck.

They clearly already had another person who could replace him, but they still stubbornly kept him by their side and watched their family live happily.

Could this be love?

no.

Although he didn't understand why he was looking for a doctor for him, Duan Tinghan had clearly sensed many years ago that it was because he still had value to Duan Tingzhuo.

The little money spent on medical treatment was just an insignificant part for the Xicheng Marquisate. It was just to indulge Duan Tingzhuo's strange behavior, not out of real concern for him.

Just like now, he was probably being splashed with dirty water again.

"Han'er..." Madam Hou called Duan Tinghan. She had been struggling for a long time before she mustered up the courage to say these words to her own flesh and blood. "Mother knows that you want a healthy body, but Zhuo'er is so innocent... How about we change someone else?"

A few days after entering the valley, Xicheng Hou and his wife never thought of coming to inquire about the progress of his treatment. However, right after he had just experienced a life-and-death crisis, they once again placed their wild ideas on him.

The look of accusation as if he was standing up for Duan Tingzhuo.

Seeing that Duan Tinghan didn't say anything, Madam Hou continued, "Just now, Zhuo'er was caused by you to vomit blood and faint. No matter how much hatred you have for him, you should let it go, right?!"

Perhaps recalling the thrilling scene just now, Madam Hou felt as if her heart was pierced by needles. She choked up and pleaded, "We have ignored your feelings over the years. If you want to punish us, punish us. Why make things difficult for Zhuo'er..."

"Mother, please, can't we just be a good family?"

She loves Zhuo'er more, but she doesn't want anything to happen to her own flesh and blood. She just can't accept the two brothers turning against each other.

"Since Sun Moon Valley has a way to cure you, just find a servant to replace you. We will compensate his family and they will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives."

After saying that, the Marquis's wife looked carefully at the expressionless Duan Tinghan in front of her. She just hoped that he would change his mind and everyone would be happy.

Duan Tinghan raised his eyes to look at her, his expression calm and unperturbed. He didn't know how long he was silent, until the Marquis's cautious expression gradually became stiff and awkward, then he suddenly laughed.

The boy had a delicate, fair and handsome face, which was no longer as pale as before. In his beautiful eyes there were incomprehensible emotions, and his eyebrows and eyes were cold.

So that's how it is, one is gaining while the other is losing.

It seemed that Duan Tingzhuo was desperate and did something, but he never thought that he could still be rescued by the Sun and Moon Valley, which led to the backlash.

He looked at the marquis's wife, who was unaware of the truth but still stood up for the man who betrayed her, and felt an unprecedented sense of strangeness.

Stupid as a deer or a pig.

It is a description of the Marquis's wife, and it is also a description of him.

Perhaps even the heavens were mocking him. Why did he regard such people as his relatives? Why did he feel lost because of their neglect? He knew he was being maliciously targeted, but still didn't want to leave.

The words that Shen Zhinian murmured before he fell into a coma echoed in his ears: If I recover, I will change my family...

It should have been long overdue...

"Madam Hou..." the young man called softly, "You will probably never learn to distinguish right from wrong..."

"No matter what the man behind you and his son have done to frame me, or whether it is fabricated or not, you will choose to believe them without hesitation, and will always do something stupid, being the first one to be hated by others."

At this point, he smiled, looking more cheerful and relaxed than ever before: "But it doesn't matter, I don't care anymore."

"Since you insist on doing this, our mother-son relationship has come to an end."

He looked at the Marquis of Xicheng, who had a strange expression on his face, and was not in a hurry to tell the truth. Anyway, no matter what he said, the Marquis's wife would not believe it, so why bother?

"I just hope that when you learn the truth one day in the future, you won't be too desperate."

Her husband treated another woman as a treasure, but she was not only loving and loving to his child with that other woman, but she was also willing to be separated from her own son.

Sad and ridiculous.

"Han'er...what do you mean?"

When Duan Tinghan called out that polite yet distant name, Mrs. Hou felt an indescribable uneasiness rising up in her heart, as if her heart was tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and her thoughts were tangled like a tangled mess.

I always feel like I have lost something very, very important to her.

Duan Tinghan curved his eyebrows, his expression calm, without a trace of ripples: "After today, I will sever ties with the Xicheng Marquisate. Sheng En and the two of you who colluded with others to harm me will pay for your lives. I hope you will be well."
