When he regained consciousness, the warning mistake had already been made.
Soon after, his elder sister-in-law became pregnant. To keep it from his elder brother, they drugged him, insisting that they needed to produce an heir for him.
His elder brother believed them.
Consequently, he genuinely thought that the child his sister-in-law was carrying was his.
Throughout her pregnancy, his elder sister-in-law expressed her regret more than once, even considering aborting the child. Even after the child was born, she was extremely indifferent towards it.
Only over time, as Mingming began to laugh, and call for his mother, did her stern heart begin to soften.
Remembering past mistakes, he was perennially worried that his sister-in-law would not want to see the child, truly viewing him as an illegitimate child. So, he took Mingming to his own courtyard.
... When did his elder brother find out?
Was it when Mingming had grown up and he had attempted to force himself on his elder sister-in-law yet again?
Tang Yueshan clenched his fists tightly, abruptly stood up, and took large strides towards the door.
The face of Lady Tang changed as if she had realised something. She threw herself at Tang Yueshan, clinging to his legs: "Don’t kill him! Don’t —"
Tang Yueshan clenched his fists, his eyes blazing: "I admit I wronged him, but how I have treated him over these years, you’ve seen with your own eyes. Even if he sends people to kill me, I wouldn’t bear a grudge! But he wants to kill Mingming!"
Lady Tang cried, pleading: "I beg you... I beg you... Spare him... He lives a life worse than death... Don’t kill him..."
Tang Yueshan laughed coldly: "Ha, maybe he wishes for death. Rather than live in this pain, better to put him out of his misery!"
Lady Tang held onto Tang Yueshan’s legs tightly, her tears soaking his robe: "He is Mingming’s father... If you kill him... What will happen to Mingming..."
Tang Yueshan coldly stated: "I am his father!"
Gu Chengfeng, too engrossed by what he was hearing, didn’t notice his hairband loosen. A strand of long hair suddenly fell, brushing against his cheek, tickling his nose.
An irresistible itch, and he shuddered: "Achoo!"
I’m done for!
A total disaster!
Gu Chengfeng shut his eyes tight, wishing he could turn bald like Gu Chenglin.
