The argument that was supposed to erupt did not break out because of Shangguan Shu's patience.
After Old Third passed out on the floor, he carried his brother in his arms and walked him back to his room.
The night was quiet and the lights in the spiritual mountain were bright, but there were very few people walking about. It was as if other than the scenery, there were only the two of them in this world.
Only after taking care of everything properly did he notice that there were a few small items neatly displayed in the cabinet, all of which were gifts he had given to him in the past.
Third Bro, ah, third Bro. In the end, you still have me, your big brother, in your heart.
Why not? Even though they had always been far apart, with every meeting, their feelings would become more and more deep-rooted, slowly accumulating and settling down.
He still remembered that at one point, Old Third liked to read books, so he bought a book to give to Old Third. It was a collection of Li Shangyin's poems.
Flipping through it, there was a piece of paper with words written on it.
Spreading them out, a poem was exactly what he had said this morning: "A person without colored phoenix wings has a connection with the heart."
If they truly shared the same thoughts, why wouldn't he accept his good intentions?
He originally thought that the matter of the eldest son of the Spirit Mountain marrying the Li family's young miss was something that could not be changed. However, things had turned for the better.
Lee's voice was insulted by the thief, then he was caught off guard and hanged.
The Li family taking the initiative to end the engagement had made Second Madam extremely happy.
He hurriedly called for his son and excitedly said, "That's great, you don't need to marry Li Yuyin. Then I will contact the Residence of the Six An Prince again. His Highness appreciates you very much, and I believe he is willing to accept you."
"I want to marry you." He threw down those two simple words and turned to leave.
Second Madam called out to him, "Stop!"
Originally, he could have ignored her. However, she had given birth to his mother, and he had raised her. Such a blood relationship could not be abandoned.
"Shu'er, it's time for you to understand."
In the past, he was still young, so he couldn't bear to force Old Third too much, but now it was different. Old Third had already grown up, and the Old Master seemed to want to pass on the position of princess to him. Live under Ol 'Three's jurisdiction? She didn't want it.
Why is it that all the benefits are Zhilan's? The old master belonged to her, and the position of the head of Spirit Mountain belonged to her son. What could he get?
Such indignant thoughts tortured her every day.
"The son doesn't understand what the mother meant by 'understanding the situation'. Could it be that the son is living under the mother's arrangement as usual? You've never known in Spirit Mountain how much pressure your son has been under. If you don't manage your business well, it would be a shame for you, but for your father, I can't even compare to Third Brother. Mother, this is your son's life, so why can't I take over my own life? " Speaking of emotions, he knelt down.
Although men had gold under their knees, if they were to kneel to the heavens and to the earth and to their parents, he didn't feel useless at all.
Could this simple kneeling really change the mind of this cold-hearted mother?
Obviously, it was not possible.
This would only deepen the second wife's oppression of him.
"Who made you say that? Who is it? Third bro, right? I knew that son of a bitch didn't have any good intentions and wanted to take you away from your mother. " Second Madam's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Don't you think about it? We're enemies. How can you be bewitched by his words?"
Although Ol 'Three was younger than his father, he had a lot of eyes. He could easily make out the relationship between him and his son through the many times he had provoked them.
After taking care of Gu'er, he got closer and closer to Old Third. She had always been wondering why her own son was leaning towards Zhilan. Am I really that unbearable? Can't keep anything?
"Enemy?" We are brothers! " Shangguan Shu was still kneeling on the ground, his back ramrod straight.
The brotherly love that was thicker than water had actually evolved into an enemy that was as incompatible as fire and water. Hehe, what a joke. This could be considered a huge joke.
On the surface, the mountain was peaceful, but in fact, it was very rough in the dark. He knew that in order to increase her mother's chances of helping him become a princess, she had already secretly visited those higher ranking clansmen.
But what was the point? A person's life was a matter of whether they lived or died. So what if they became a princess? In the end, it was just a pile of dirt, and his soul was resting in the ground.
Second Madam's heart felt as if a knife was being stabbed through it because of his words. Silly son, why don't you understand that no mother in this world would ever harm her child? Why aren't you listening?
However, she still had to pretend that she was overbearing and coldly said, "If you regard him as a brother, then what about treating you like that? On the surface, your brotherly love is deep. I don't know when I'll bite you back, but at that time, you won't even have the chance to regret it! "
"Enough mother!" Don't say anymore, let's not speculate too much. This matter shall end here. If you insist on marrying into the Six An Manor, then, at that time, you can bring my corpse with you. " He actually said these heartless words to his mother.
Second Madam looked at her son's back as he left and felt extremely heartbroken. Why did the heavens allow her to give birth to such a rebellious child? He had placed all his hopes on him, but what about him? Yet, he was bewitched by Old Third's pretentious image of a kind and weak person, willing to risk his life to force him to do as he pleased.
If he was half as obedient as Min, he would worry less.
Just then, Shangguan Min walked over and saw her mother's sad eyes. She quickly consoled her. "Mother, don't cry. Big Bro can't count on you anymore. In the future, Min'er will be filial to you and will not make you suffer anymore."
Although Shangguan Min seemed cold on the surface, but she was extremely proud in her bones, but she was extremely filial to her birth mother.
It could only be said that no one was perfect, and no one was a bad person or a kind person. They were both good and bad.
"Min'er, tell me, why don't you listen to your elder brother's advice? Mother really doesn't have any bad intentions. "
In this world, mother and son ran in opposite directions. So it turned out to be such a heart-wrenching thing.
But what could she do? The child was like a steeled heart, always ignoring her, but when with Ol 'Three, he would be full of smiles and talk a lot. Ol' Three was the reincarnation of a fox spirit like his mother.
"I understand, Mother." Shangguan Min helped the Second Madam to sit on the bed. "Actually, Eldest Brother did the right thing. If we were to be engaged with the Six An Mansion, we might end up being oppressed in the future. I'm sure Mother wouldn't want to see it."
"What you say is reasonable, but doesn't mother want him to live a better life?"
At least, if the spirit mountain was unable to settle down, then the manor could still hope for a place to stay.
"The hardest thing in the world is to earnestly say what you want to say. Others are unwilling to listen." Shangguan Min sighed. Without her brother's help, their situation would be even more difficult in the future.
