Splendid Twins

Chapter 117 Crippled

The courtyard door opened and Mrs. Si stuck her head out. It turned out to be a girl knocking on the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Is it Si Yao's family?"

When Mrs. Si heard this, her heart suddenly tightened and she suddenly had a bad premonition.

"This is his home, the girl is..."

"That's good!"

The girl sneered and then pulled open the curtain behind her, revealing Si Yao who was tied up and gagged.

"Hmph, you know what's going on!"

As she said this, she untied the rope on him with a cold face. She was from Prince Li's Mansion and had always served His Highness. Unexpectedly, the concubine asked her to come over and assigned her the task of a coachman!

As soon as Si Yao was freed, he immediately used his hands to support the car door and got out. The moment he landed, his ankle was in excruciating pain, and it made him sweat on his back. When he thought about being trapped here for the rest of his life, the hatred deep in his heart surged like a tide...

"I was ordered to give you a ride. Now that the mission is completed, you can take care of yourself."

Si Yao recovered and said softly, "I am just a servant, why are you so arrogant? Don't forget, your master calls me brother."

"you!"

Si Yao ignored her and turned to look at Mrs. Si who was crying so hard that she couldn't speak, and said in a light tone:

"Grandma, I'm back. I'll take care of you in your old age."

Mrs. Si was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly wiped her tears and asked:

"Your father said you were going to Beijing to find a way out, why did you come back?"

Si Yao raised his head and saw a few birds jumping around on the newly built roof not far away. He whispered:

"Where is not a way out?"

Mrs. Si didn't hear clearly at first and wanted to ask more carefully, but Si Yao retracted his gaze and turned to walk in. Mrs. Si was so frightened by his limping gait that she dared not speak a word, and even her breathing became cautious. Her beloved grandson turned out to be disabled?

The yard was filled with an atmosphere of desolation and loneliness. The ground, which had not been cleaned for a long time, was covered with moss and weeds, and the walls were covered with spots and stains. Si Yao saw this and a gloomy look flashed across his eyes, and then he went into his room.

Mrs. Si came in crying and yelled in the yard:

"Wang, you damned bitch, my brother Yao is back, why don't you come out?"

"Other wives take care of the housework and serve their mother-in-law, but you are such a slut that you are so crazy that you even sleep in broad daylight."

Wang had a nightmare last night, and the two children were making a fuss, so she didn't sleep well the whole night. She took a nap in the morning. When she suddenly heard that her son had come back, she got up immediately. The twins on the bed were also woken up and started crying with their mouths wide open.

"Brother Yao? Son?"

Wang put on an outer coat and came out. Seeing that only Mrs. Si was in the yard, she walked into Si Yao's room as if she didn't see anyone.

A moment later, Mrs. Si heard Wang's heart-wrenching cry in the room. Her voice was trembling and full of despair, like the pain and sorrow squeezed out from the bottom of her heart.

Mrs. Si sat slumped in the yard, looking as if she was dead. Her son Yao was really useless...

Wang's shaking hands touched the scar on Si Yao's ankle. When she came in, Si Yao was changing the bandage on his injured leg. Just after getting off the car, the bandaged wound split open and bled. Wang had no time to ask, only to hear Si Yao speak calmly:

"Mother, my legs are lame, and my title of scholar has been revoked. Your son is a complete waste now."

Si Yao's hands kept moving, as if he was talking to someone else nonchalantly.

The reason why he was unhappy in this life was all because of two women.

Ever since Si Yao came back, his grandparents have changed, his parents have also separated, and the family support he has always been confident in began to fall apart. Later, he failed the imperial examination and had no future. Meeting Zhou Wan in Shangjing was the disaster of his life!

His original plan was to lure Zhou Ying into his hands, so that he could make a comeback with the title of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. He planned everything carefully, but unfortunately, he lost everything!

His legs were broken and his arms were snapped. As he passed out, he vaguely heard those people say:

We brothers must complete whatever the eldest lady asks us to do.

So, the first thing he did when he woke up from the pain was to ask passers-by to take him to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. He wanted to confront Zhou Wan face to face!

When he woke up again, he did see Zhou Wan, and she cried innocently:

"If my cousin doesn't want to help me, just refuse. Why are you talking nonsense outside?"

He was confused at the time: "What did you say?"

"Brother, listen to me, go back to Sijia Village and help me look after Si Yao. Make sure she never leaves the village. If she dares to marry, you will ruin her marriage. I want her to marry a fierce husband, give birth to a rebellious son, and be miserable and destitute."

"Why should I listen to you? Don't forget, I'm a scholar!"

When he finished speaking, she looked contemptuous:

"There are no lame scholars in North Vietnam. Oh, you may not know this yet. Your leg is hopeless. I am about to marry His Royal Highness Prince Li, so I will naturally invite an imperial physician. Since I call you brother, I will give you one thousand taels of silver. Take it home and live a good life. And keep an eye on her for me..."

He couldn't hear a word of what was said afterwards. All he could hear was that his leg was hopeless. He was unwilling to give up, so he tried to touch it. Sure enough, with the slightest movement, he felt a sharp pain in his ankle, as if he had been tortured to death. He burst into tears right there and then...

If Zhou Wan had not been favored by His Royal Highness Prince Li, he would have fought her to the death. Why was he the only one who broke his legs out of the conspiracy of the two of them?

Later, he made a deal with Zhou Wan. Since he would never achieve fame and fortune in this life, it might not be a bad idea for him to be a rich and leisurely old man.

As compensation, she promised that when the prince ascended the throne in the future, she would give birth to a dragon son who would become the first person in the harem, and he would be able to enjoy the shade under the big tree and be named the King of Freedom.

If he was asked to monitor Si Yao, he would agree. It just so happened that that bitch had never known how to appreciate favors, so he had to think of a foolproof way to completely destroy her!

"Mom, please do your son a favor."

"Brother Yao, let's find a doctor to treat your leg. It will definitely get better. It will definitely get better. Just listen to your mother..."

Seeing that Wang Shi refused to listen to him, Si Yao picked up the book beside the bed and threw it to the ground, saying with a gloomy face:

"If you won't obey, get out!"

Wang was so frightened by this action that she dared not move. She stood stiffly for a while, wiped her tears and said:

"You tell me, and I'll do it."

"Ask around in the nearby villages if there are any widowers."

"Son, why are you asking this?"

Wang picked up the book on the ground and put it on the table. She was actually a little afraid of her son. His gloomy aura just now made her feel cold in an instant.

"Just listen to me and don't ask so many questions. By the way, whose child is this?"

The crying of children outside continued, and a hint of surprise flashed in Si Yao's eyes.

When it comes to this, Wang comes close to Si Yao and tells him everything in detail.

When Si Yao heard that he was raising these two little bastards to keep him company, he laughed out loud, with deep sarcasm in his eyes. His father was good at sophistry, and his mother was really stupid!

"What about others?"

Wang knew that her son was asking about his father, so she said coldly:

"I don't know. I haven't seen anyone since I woke up this morning."
