Chapter 198 You Are Not Our Mother
Li slowly raised her head and glanced at everyone present.
The first person that caught her eye was her man. His eyes, filled with disgust and anger, were like a sharp sword piercing her heart, making her shiver.
Looking to the side, she saw her youngest son, who had his back to her. However, her tense shoulders showed his inner dissatisfaction and resentment.
As for the man who was standing beside her and kept cursing her, Li snorted in her heart. He was just a small secret guard who was not allowed to see the light of day, yet he dared to insult her so arrogantly!
If it weren't for the current situation, after my master accomplishes his mission, I will definitely deal with this group of ignorant guys and make them suffer to see who dares to look down on me like this!
Thinking of this, Li took a deep breath, endured the physical pain and mental trauma, and stood up from the ground with difficulty.
Her legs trembled slightly as she walked towards Father Lu step by step, with a hint of grievance and helplessness in her eyes.
When she walked in front of Lu's father, Li stopped, looked up at him, and said in a crying voice: "Master, you must believe me! All this was forced upon me by Lu Dahe and Shisan!" Li looked up at Lu's father and sneered in her heart.
Then she continued to pretend to be pitiful and said, "They both forced me to serve them. How could a weak woman like me resist? I really have no words to express my suffering and I am powerless..." As she spoke, Li began to sob, and tears rolled down her cheeks like a flood.
The ninth brother, Lu Changdong, slowly closed his eyes, as if trying to hide the surging emotions in his eyes. His throat trembled slightly, and he uttered a hoarse and low voice: "Li, please stop trying to shift the blame for your own mistakes onto others, okay?"
Then he closed his eyes and said, "Your behavior will only affect innocent people. Do you think others are fools?"
Lu Changdong turned around, looked at Li, and said, "Actually, there's much more to you than meets the eye. Why haven't my second brother and I visited you in all these years? Is it really, as you think, simply because we didn't grow up by your side and therefore aren't close enough to you?"
Lu Changdong shook his head and said, "You're totally wrong! In fact, every time Mother came to pay us respects, she would remind us, the illegitimate children, to remember to visit the concubines. But every time, before we could even visit you, you would resort to revenge against Mother, always disappointing me, my second brother, and my fourth sister."
"You've done more than just that. My second brother and I know at least half of what you've done. I wonder if you've noticed that in recent years, you've received almost no responses to the letters you've sent. Even if you do receive some, they're just insignificant, trivial matters. What's the reason for this?"
Lu Changdong approached Aunt Li and said sarcastically, "Let me tell you, that's because your letters have all been secretly intercepted by my second brother and me. We've been trying our best to help you turn over a new leaf, but you've remained stubborn and unrepentant. Even today, you're still trying to slander and accuse Thirteenth Brother. It truly makes us heartbroken and extremely disappointed!"
Lu Changdong cried bitterly and said, "Here is a letter that my second brother gave me before he left. You should take a look at it yourself!" After that, Lu Changdong reached into his arms, took out a letter, and then threw it to where Li was without hesitation.
Mrs. Li had been happily anticipating the smooth completion of her mission for her master, but then she suddenly heard her son's words. At that moment, she felt like she had been struck by lightning, her eyes widening in shock, as if they were about to pop out.
She really couldn't accept the fact that the person who ruined her carefully planned good thing was actually her own son!
Before this, she had always stubbornly believed that the culprit was the hateful Thirteen, so even if she had to bear the accusations and abuses of everyone, she was determined to drag Thirteen into this mess.
However, now the truth is out, it turns out that everything was just a misunderstanding on her part, and the one who really made her plan fail was actually her good son whom she doted on so much!
At this moment, Li was filled with regret and self-blame. She hated herself for being so impulsive and blind, not seeing clearly that her son was so powerful.
If she had been calmer and more thoughtful, perhaps she wouldn't have made such a mistake. But now that things have come to this, what's the point of regretting it? She can only endure this pain silently, praying that there will be another chance to make up for her promise to her master.
She had firmly stated that she would never have a child, but her master insisted on implementing the so-called "Li Dai Tao Jiang" plan.
So, she had no choice but to step into the dangerous and dangerous General's Mansion while pregnant. However, fate always seemed to like to play tricks on people. The unborn child was born with a short life and died early before she could even carry out her carefully planned plan.
But how could she dare tell her master this bad news? In desperation, she had to pretend that the child was still safe and sound in her belly.
By the time she became pregnant with Lu Changyu, she was still a full month away from her due date. However, in order to cover up the outrageous lie she had told before, she hardened her heart and took the risk of taking medication to force the delivery date forward by a full month.
Finally, after going through untold hardships, she gave birth to Lu Changyu, and shamelessly lied to her master that this was their biological child. She also made up a story that she had deliberately used medicine to delay the pregnancy for two months.
Due to the abuse of drugs to induce labor, she suffered tremendous suffering during childbirth that is unimaginable for ordinary people.
What's worse is that she always harbored resentment towards this child who was not born into the world by her own will and never treated him with a kind face.
As a result, the children naturally drifted away from her and their relationship became distant, so that the son and daughter born later were almost all raised by Lu Changyu alone.
Naturally, the two little guys became increasingly close to Lu Changyu, while being rather cold and distant towards their biological mother. Whenever she thought of this, Li couldn't help but feel a pang of hatred, and the rage in her heart burned even more fiercely.
At this moment, Li held the letter from her eldest son tightly in her hand, and an indescribable fear involuntarily surged in her heart.
This feeling came so suddenly that she was a little overwhelmed. However, despite her inner uneasiness, Li gently opened the envelope and took out a thin piece of letter from it, as if she was afraid of awakening some sleeping demon.
When the letter was unfolded, a string of large and eye-catching words jumped into her eyes: "You are not our mother! You will never be!"
