Chapter 396 Trap
This also explains why the mother, who should have been living a carefree life under her own protection in the capital, was captured by a traitor and brought to Quanzhou.
That’s because my mother wasn’t captured at all, but came here voluntarily.
She couldn't help but think of what her mother had just said, 'Sometimes people have to make sacrifices, otherwise they will only suffer greater harm.'
So mother, are you choosing to give me up to protect father and the others?
It turns out that in your heart, I am not as good as my father and brothers. Obviously, you are the same as me, so we should be on the same side!
Shang Hongxiu bit her lips. She didn't dare to ask this question out loud, and she didn't even dare to meet her mother's gaze.
As long as the matter is not exposed completely, they can still be mother and daughter.
"Mother, please come home with me." There was a hint of pleading in Shang Hongxiu's tone.
"Hongxiu, I..." the woman hesitated.
"Mother, have you forgotten? You said that you would always stand by me." Shang Hongxiu grabbed the woman's hand, who struggled and finally covered her face and cried.
"Hongxiu, just listen to your mother for once. Stay here, stay with your mother. Our family is all well, and this is the happiest thing."
Although I had guessed my mother's choice, I still felt sad when she said it.
Shang Hongxiu opened her mouth, but was stopped before she could say anything.
"Little sister, mother is right. You should stay. Do you want to be an unfilial daughter?"
Shang Hongxiu turned around and saw that it was her good second brother.
If we were to say who in the family is most like my father, it would be my second brother. We are both extreme patriarchs.
"Isn't it the person who puts his mother in danger who is unfilial?"
"You..." The second brother was so angry that he was speechless. Why didn't he realize that his sister was so talkative before?
"Humph, you're abandoning even your own family, you're such an ungrateful person.
"Let me tell you clearly, you can leave today, but you can't take your mother with you.
"As long as you step out of this door, you will have nothing to do with my Shang family, and you are not allowed to use the surname Shang anymore."
Seeing that things were not going well, the woman quickly came out to smooth things over, "You can't say that.
"Hongxiu, mother knows that you feel wronged, but your father has promised me that he will treat you like his own son in the future. Please stay with me. Is there anything more important than our family being harmonious and happy?"
When he thought of his father's instructions, he relaxed. "It was because mother spoke well of you and thought of you everywhere that even father relaxed and asked me to apologize to you. But you turned your elbow outward."
“Ha. Hahahahaha!”
The second brother frowned, "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, I just want to tell you that as long as I want to leave, no one can stop me."
Don't we already know their character? Why say more?
I cannot leave my mother in this dangerous place. Even if she blames me or hates me, taking her back and taking good care of her is the last thing I can do.
"Mother, let's go." This time she did not use a pleading tone, and just took the person with her regardless of whether the latter agreed or not.
"Stop!" The second brother was so angry that his fingers were shaking.
"I also told you that you can't take anyone away today. Do you think you won't be fully prepared if we want to keep you?"
After all, mother is just a woman. If my younger sister had any ambition, she should not be restrained. The development of things also proved that his guess was correct, but it doesn’t matter, he still has a trump card.
