Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace
Chapter 152 Jade Pendant
As she spoke, Su took out a white jade pendant from under her pillow. It was not an ordinary item. Judging from the pendant, the general's identity might not be simple. Shen Wanqing approached, took it in her hand and looked at it, guessing the general's identity in her heart.
"I found out I was pregnant with you a month after the general left. In order to prevent Shen Yunlan from getting suspicious, I took the labor-inducing drug a month in advance so that there would be no flaw in the time of your birth." Su told the story slowly, and every word she said undoubtedly made Shen Wanqing feel like she was falling into an ice cave.
Her heart instantly fell into great chaos, and her world seemed to collapse at this moment. She could not accept this sudden truth and was completely stunned.
After a long while, she came back to her senses, her voice tinged with tears: "Mother, why did you do this? Now that you have told me all this, where have you taken me? Why did you tell me? Why don't you keep the truth hidden in your heart forever?"
Shen Wanqing's series of questions also made Su close her eyes in pain: "I was bewildered at that time, deceived by the general's sweet words, and made a big mistake. Wanqing, mother is sorry for you."
Shen Wanqing was tormented by a mixture of resentment towards her mother and confusion about her own past. She felt as if she were trapped in a dark abyss, unable to find a way out.
She asked tremblingly, "Then how should I deal with myself in the future?"
Su held Shen Wanqing's hand tightly, as if to pass all her strength to her: "Daughter, this is all my fault. It was mother who harmed you. But you must be strong. No matter what, you must live well. If you want to find your biological father, take the jade pendant and go find him. If not, just pretend I never said this today."
Shen Wanqing stood blankly by the bed, tears streaming down her face like a flood. Her mind was in a state of confusion, with past memories and the truth about her life just now intertwined, making it almost impossible for her to think.
She looked at Su, her voice filled with despair and helplessness: "Mother, why do you treat me like this? I always thought I was the daughter of the Shen family, but now..."
She really couldn't accept this huge blow. Although she didn't have much feelings for Su and Shen Yunlan, she had never doubted her own life experience in her heart.
Su burst into tears: "Wanqing, it's all mother's fault. I only wanted to hide this secret, but I didn't expect it would cause you such great harm."
"Now I just want to tell you the truth. As for what you want to choose, I support you."
Shen Wanqing shook her head in pain: "I don't understand why this happened? My life is actually a lie."
At this moment, she felt it would be a lie to say that she didn't hate Su. She hated her indulgence and selfishness, and hated her for putting herself in such an embarrassing situation. She felt a little confused again, not knowing how to face this cruel reality.
Shen Wanqing squatted down, holding her head with both hands, sobbing, "What should I do? Who am I?"
Su looked at her daughter distressedly, but didn't know how to comfort her: "Wanqing, no matter what your background is, you will always be my daughter."
Shen Wanqing raised her head, her eyes filled with pain and struggle: "But, what kind of identity can I still live in this world?"
Shen Wanqing fell into deep thought, her heart struggling painfully.
Su didn't know how to comfort Shen Wanqing. All of this was caused by her, and she didn't dare to ask for her forgiveness.
She looked at Su, who was dying on the hospital bed, and felt a mixture of resentment for her mistakes and sadness for her imminent death. She didn't know whether to hate her mother's mistakes or be grateful to Su for giving her life.
Shen Wanqing stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and had a lot of thoughts in her mind.
She recalled every moment of her time in the Shen family. Although her mother was partial to her, and Shen Yunlan was solely focused on his career and showed little fatherly love, at least the Shen family had given her a place to live. If her background were revealed, would the Shen family still accept her? Would Shen Yunlan still acknowledge her as their daughter?
After a moment, Shen Wanqing turned around, looked at Su, and said softly: "Mother, things have come to this point, there is no point in saying more."
Su's eyes were full of pleading: "Wanqing, no matter what, you have to live well."
Shen Wanqing took a deep breath and comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. I will, and you need to get better soon."
However, she knew in her heart that no matter what her background was, her life would go on, but the road ahead was full of unknowns and confusion.
Should she leave the Shen family and face the criticism of the world alone? Or should she continue to hide her background and live cautiously in the Shen family? Shen Wanqing felt helpless.
She paced back and forth in the room, constantly weighing the pros and cons in her mind.
Finally, Shen Wanqing stopped and her eyes became firm. She decided that no matter how difficult the future would be, she would face it bravely and find her own life.
Su eventually passed away, and Shen Wanqing took care of her mother's funeral in grief.
During this period, she thought a lot and knew that she could not continue to be immersed in the pain and confusion of the past, but must bravely take a new step.
Shen Wanqing decided to stay in the Shen family for the time being. She wanted to make her life better through her own efforts.
At the same time, she also carefully kept her life experience secret and did not let anyone find out.
In the eyes of the world, she is Miss Shen Si, and she can only bury this secret in her heart forever. No matter what, Su is her mother and the mistress of this Hou Mansion. Now that she is gone, she cannot let her reputation have any flaws.
Although Su had never loved her daughter, she was still her mother. She couldn't be so heartless. As a daughter, she could only do so much.
Shen Yunlan only showed up when Su was buried. In just a month, he looked much older and no longer had the vigor and vitality he once had.
Although Shen Wanqing knew in her heart that she was not his daughter, she had lived in this Hou Mansion for more than ten years after all, and she still had some feelings for Shen Yunlan. If she were asked to leave the Hou Mansion, perhaps the only thing she would be worried about was this old father.
"Did your mother tell you anything before she left?"
Shen Yunlan looked at his daughter who looked 60% like Su. He knew in his heart that Su didn't even look at him before she passed away. He thought she was probably still angry with him.
Shen Wanqing collected her thoughts and said, "Before my mother passed away, she told me to take good care of my father, and to relax and take good care of himself."
Hearing this, Shen Yunlan was in a trance for a moment. He thought Su would hate him, but he never thought that he still existed in her heart.
