Chapter 242 My Brother is Not Dead
"Husband, Sixth Prince, have you ever thought that there is a kind of fate in this world that is so powerful that it is irresistible?" Shen Yiran said softly.
Ren Jingzhi and Yu Gongyu looked at each other, both showing doubtful expressions. Ren Jingzhi asked: "Ran Ran, what do you mean?"
Shen Yiran smiled slightly, his eyes moving between the two of them.
"Calm down and think about it. The friendship between you is so deep that it is amazing. It seems that there is an invisible force behind you pushing and guiding you.
This power is not simple, it goes far beyond the boundaries of ordinary friendship, and can even motivate you to give up everything for each other without hesitation and without complaint. "
Yu Gongyu frowned slightly, thinking about Shen Yiran's words. "Sister-in-law, what do you want to say?"
At this moment, Shen Yiran was very nervous, as she knew very well that once this secret was revealed, it would bring a huge shock to them.
But at this moment, the situation was critical, and she had to muster up her courage. She took a deep breath and said slowly: "Husband, Sixth Prince, you are actually brothers."
Ren Jingzhi and Yu Gongyu both widened their eyes when they heard this, their faces full of shock and disbelief. They never guessed that what Shen Yiran was going to say next was this.
For a moment, the tent fell into deathly silence.
Ren Jingzhi stood there in a daze, his eyes full of astonishment and confusion. His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.
Yu Gongyu's face was full of disbelief. He shook his head repeatedly and said excitedly: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Mother buried my brother personally. How could Brother Ren be my brother?" His voice trembled and his eyes were full of confusion and expectation.
Shen Yiran looked at their reactions and felt that this result would be better than the original one. At least for Yu Gongyu, the Imperial Concubine and the Emperor, their family could be reunited and no longer have to endure the pain of separation.
She knew that she had to make things clear at this moment. She slowly said, "My husband, Sixth Prince, this is absolutely true. Many accidents happened back then, which led to you not knowing each other's identities. But blood is thicker than water and cannot be changed."
A hint of joy flashed across Yu Gongyu's face, and his eyes revealed anticipation.
Yu Gongyu suddenly learned that his brother was not dead. He was happy, but worried that his joy was in vain. He hurriedly asked, "Sister-in-law, is what you said true? Do you have any proof?"
Shen Yiran looked at Yu Gongyu's anxious look and her heart softened slightly.
She nodded slightly and said, "Sixth Prince, this is absolutely true. I have witnesses..." She hesitated for a moment and wanted to mention that a paternity test could be done, but she felt that it was not appropriate to say it at the moment, and even if she did, no one would believe it, so she stopped talking.
Ren Jingzhi gradually recovered from his shock. He looked at Yu Gongyu with mixed emotions in his eyes. "Ran Ran, what is going on? Why is this happening?"
"Husband, do you remember Jiang and Ge'er? They are my distant cousins that I told you about." Shen Yiran helped Ren Jingzhi recall.
"Remember, she is related to this matter?" Ren Jingzhi was puzzled.
Shen Yiran continued, "She is not actually my distant relative. Her real name is Li Yue. At the time, Li Yue had lost her memory and was not in good health. I took her in because I felt sorry for them being homeless, but I was afraid that you would accuse me of being nosy, so I lied to you."
Shen Yiran looked at Yu Gongyu again, "Sixth Prince, do you still remember the little flower girl that you, Miss Liu and I rescued from the Third Prince on the street that day? Li Yue is her mother."
Ren Jingzhi and Yu Gongyu were stunned again by Shen Yiran's words. They didn't understand what the direct connection was between the Li Yue she mentioned and the fact that they were brothers.
Shen Yiran saw their anxiety and comforted them, "This is a long story, don't worry, brothers, listen to me and tell you slowly."
Shen Yiran sorted out her thoughts and cleared her throat. "One day, Li Yue suddenly came to my dormitory. Her eyes were full of panic and grief. I had never seen her like this before, and I knew something very serious must have happened.
Li Yue was very nervous. She said I was her savior and she would tell me the truth even at the risk of her life.
Shen Yiran paused for a moment, looked at Ren Jingzhi and Yu Gongyu who were listening attentively, and then said:
"Li Yue told me about her experience. She was from Muzi Village. When she was fifteen years old, she went to the nearby Bazi Village to congratulate her cousin Zhao Qin on the birth of her baby boy.
During that time, she accidentally overheard a conversation between Zhao Qin's mother-in-law Zhang Damei and father-in-law Wang Dashu, and it was this conversation that almost cost her her life. "
Shen Yiran's eyes seemed to pass through the two people in front of him, and he fell into Li Yue's memories and continued to narrate:
"Li Yue heard the conversation between Zhang Damei and Wang Dashu outside the door:
Zhang Damei: "Old man, our grandson will be blessed in the future. The two women who gave birth today, judging from the names of the servants, they seem to be the wife of the prime minister's mansion and the queen of the palace."
Wang Dashu: "Which family did our grandson go to?"
Zhang Damei: "I was also scared and a little nervous at the time, but I remember that our grandson should have been taken into the palace. In short, our grandson will definitely enjoy a happy life in the future."
Wang Dashu: "Does our daughter-in-law know about this?"
Zhang Damei: "We can't let her know. With her temper, she'll be furious if she knows. It's OK for only the two of us to know about this. When our grandson grows up and enjoys his life, he'll understand our painstaking efforts."
At this point, Shen Yiran sighed softly. She took a big sip of the tea on the table and continued to say to Ren Jingzhi and Yu Gongyu:
"At that time, Li Yue was so shocked that she accidentally touched the broom at the door. The noise caught Zhang Damei's attention. Knowing that she had heard the conversation, Zhang Damei immediately chased after her.
Li Yue was scared and ran away, but it was night and she didn't have a light, so she was caught before she got far. Zhang Damei asked her what she heard in horror, but Li Yue was so scared that she just said she didn't hear anything.
But Wang Dashu said that if the news got out, the whole family would be wiped out, and he also said that he would kill Li Yue. Then, Zhang Damei covered Li Yue's mouth tightly, and Li Yue wanted to scream but couldn't make a sound. Just as she struggled a few times, she was hit hard on the head.
This heavy blow made Li Yue's head feel like it was hit by a heavy hammer. Severe pain spread throughout her body in an instant. When Li Yue's consciousness was about to disappear, she was pushed into the freezing cold river water.
Li Yue felt her body sink, and the cold river water instantly submerged her. She struggled desperately, but her consciousness became increasingly blurred.
And all of this is closely related to the life experiences of both of you.
Ren Jingzhi's heart was in turmoil when he heard this. He recalled his past experiences, and those things that he once regarded as fate, now seemed to be inextricably linked to the secret behind this.
He looked at Umiya Tamae, only to see that he also had a complicated expression on his face. His eyes showed both surprise at knowing that his brother was still alive and confusion about this sudden truth.
