C440 Meet natural mother

"In that case, why don't you show your true face?" Xie Qingrong said coldly.

As soon as Xie Qingrong finished speaking, a elongated figure appeared on the ground. Raising his head to look, an elegant figure slowly walked out from the shadows.

That peerlessly beautiful face was nearly ninety percent similar to Xie Qingrong's. The similar facial features, the similar cherry lips, and even the subconscious creases and purses of her lips were all very similar.

When Xie Qingrong saw the girl looking at him with a smile, her pupils slightly shrank.

~ Is this Shang Huaiyue?

Her mother?

He opened his mouth, but just as he was about to speak, he heard the lady's melodious voice, "Miss Xie seems to be very surprised to see me?"

Suppressing all the excitement and nervousness she felt upon seeing her mother was an instinctive reaction, but she had always been indifferent towards her family.

With a slight raise of his eyebrows, a pair of eyes that were ninety percent similar to the girl's stared at her.

Facing Xie Qingrong's gaze which was filled with oppression, the woman unconsciously lowered her eyes, a trace of unnaturalness flashing past her eyes.

Seeing that, Xie Qingrong laughed, and said: "I am indeed surprised, after all, your appearance is 90% similar to mine, it seems to be carved out from the same mold. I just saw you and thought it was my mother. Unfortunately, my mother died in childbirth more than ten years ago. "

It was an ordinary and calm tone, but when Shang Huaiyue heard it, she could sense a complex and sour feeling in her heart. Her eyes immediately became red, and she pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately, he swallowed her words back down her throat.

Seeing Shang Huaiyue looking like she wanted to say something, the emotions in Xie Qingrong's heart churned even more, but her expression was calm, as though it had no effect on her.

He said lightly, "You have achieved your goal and successfully met me. As for the offense you mentioned, I do not care about it. If you have nothing else to say, I will go back first. I haven't seen him in a long time. My husband will be very worried about me. "

After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Shang Huaiyue's consent and directly walked out of the door.

Seeing that Xie Qingrong was not holding back, Shang Huaiyue was startled, seeing that Xie Qingrong had already walked into the courtyard, she anxiously lifted her skirt and chased, shouting: "Thank you Miss, please hold up."

Xie Qingrong's footsteps paused, she did not turn around, but she heard the girl behind him say: "Thank you, Miss's mother has passed away more than ten years ago, if only … "I said, if Miss Xie's wife is not dead yet, it's only because the situation has not yet been resolved that I have not contacted you."

"However, in her heart, she is still constantly concerned about you. If there comes a day when she wants to recognize you, I wonder if Xie Qingrong will still be willing to recognize her as her mother?"

The corner of Xie Qingrong's mouth unconsciously hooked up, but this shallow smile, was a bit cold, and carried an extreme sharpness.

"All these years, I've come alone. So it makes no difference to me whether I have a mother or not. Now that I already have the best husband in the world, family love has become unnecessary. "

As he spoke till here, Xie Qingrong had already sensed that Shang Huaiyue's breathing had become a lot heavier, as if she was trying her best to suppress her emotions. There was some self-mockery in the cold smile on the corner of her mouth.

Pausing, he continued, "However, from what you're saying, my mother has yet to die. If you see my mother, please tell her that I have never blamed her. It's just that whether or not I should recognize her is no longer very important to me. "

After saying that, he left the courtyard without looking back.

Shang Huaiyue looked at Xie Qingrong's heartless back figure and her heart fiercely trembled. For the first time, she suspected whether her decision from the past was right or wrong.

The warm light shone down from the sky onto the courtyard but Shang Huaiyue did not feel any warmth from the sunlight. She only felt that it was freezing cold from head to toe.

Even if Xie Qingrong had made it clear that she did not blame him, the decision she made that year had still hurt her. However, Shang Huaiyue would never know that the daughter she had really hurt, Xie Qingrong, had long passed away and would never see her mother again.

Shang Zhiqing signed a series of unequal treaties and agreed to many requests from the Duty Hall of the Elders Guild. Only then did the Elders Guild reluctantly let Shang Zhiqing go and did they not punish him with the punishment from their ancestors.

Her entire body was exhausted as she arrived at Shang Huaiyue's courtyard. Her knees were still throbbing from the pain, but she forced herself to walk in, and saw Shang Huaiyue standing in the center of the courtyard in a daze.

Shang Zhiqing frowned slightly, as if her entire person was filled with ice-cold sorrow. She walked to Shang Huaiyue's side and lightly patted her shoulder.

Pulling Shang Huaiyue out from her sorrowful mood, she asked in a low voice, "Mother, what's wrong?"

Shang Huaiyue had yet to completely recover from her previous state of mind. After seeing her little girl, she tried with all her might to force out a smile, but his smile was still frozen at the corner of her mouth.

He wiped the corner of his lips uncomfortably and said softly, "Love, I just met your sister."

Shang Zhiqing paused for a moment, then instantly understood why Shang Huaiyue acted like this just now, and why everything that happened in the Elders Guild was unable to control her emotions any longer.

She worked so hard to bring Xie Qingrong to the Shang clan so she could break the Shang clan's curse and prophecy from a hundred years ago.

However, the person standing in front of her was her mother. She could not complain or blame her mother for giving up at any cost to save her.

He took in a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Seemingly extremely tired, she said, "Mother, I know that you miss your sister very much. However, anything you do in the Shang family will be known by the Elders Guild. After all these years, you have been placed under house arrest in this tiny piece of land.

"But for the sake of the Shang family, for the sake of you and elder sister, can you please be a little more patient? The members of the Elders Guild were probably already waiting for their sister in the chamber. Take care of yourself, I'm going to take care of my sister's business. "

Shang Huaiyue pursed her lips and nodded.

He looked at his daughter's back as she turned around to leave without any hesitation. It was as if all the strength in his body had been sucked out of her.

Was she really wrong?

When Shang Huaiyue was young, she was also an outstanding woman whose name shook the world. It was not as if she didn't know how much trouble this would bring to Shang Huaiyue and Shang Zhiqing. But the thought of her daughter crushed the last straw.

After knowing that Xie Qingrong had come to the Shang Clan, she couldn't wait to meet Xie Qingrong and reveal her identity.

But when she saw Xie Qingrong's ice-cold expression, she suddenly became timid.

So there really was such a thing as fear from the countryside.
