Chapter 419
In order to avoid trouble, Shen Ming directly used drugs to knock Xu unconscious, loaded her into the car and took her away.
So when Xu woke up, she was already in the carriage, guarding her by her side was her trusted maid Xia He.
When Xia He saw that Xu had woken up, she quickly handed her a water bag: "Madam, are you awake? Are you thirsty? Drink some water first!"
Xu took the water bag and drank a few sips of water. She frowned and looked around and asked, "Why are we on a carriage? Where are we going?"
Xia He felt a little guilty and smiled apologetically: "Madam, North Vietnam can no longer accommodate us. We are on the way to Xining..."
Xu immediately opened the car curtain and said, "Stop the car! I want to get out! I want to get out!"
Xia He hurriedly stopped her: "Madam, what are you doing? We finally escaped, we can't go back to North Vietnam!"
"No, no... my husband is still in North Vietnam, my husband is still there!" Xu said in a panic: "I can't leave my husband behind, my husband..."
After some time of treatment in the Nether Valley, Shen Yuan is now in great shape and his appearance has basically recovered.
But I still don’t dare to see my father and wife.
But knowing that his wife was knocked unconscious and taken away by his son, he was really worried, so he rode his horse and followed Xu's carriage closely.
Seeing that Xu had gone crazy again after waking up, and was still muttering about her husband, she felt extremely heartbroken.
Xu struggled so hard that Xia He was not paying attention and she tripped and fell out of the carriage.
"Madam--!" Xia He screamed and fell to the ground. She stretched her arms as far as she could but it was still a little short. She watched her madam fall out of the carriage.
However, Xu did not fall to the ground after all.
She fell into a familiar and warm embrace.
After Shen Yuan helped his wife to stand firmly on the ground, he saw his wife looking at his face infatuatedly, raising her hand to caress it, tears overflowing from her eyes, and she murmured: "Husband..."
Shen Yuan's heart ached, and tears welled up in his eyes: "Madam, it's me."
Xu suddenly put her arms around his waist and burst into tears: "Husband! Husband!..."
The crying was so loud that it attracted the attention of everyone in the group.
Shen Yuan's heart suddenly started beating like thunder and his face flushed red. He raised his hand to push the person away, but when he saw his wife crying like that, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
He could only hold his wife and coax her: "Madam, don't cry, don't cry, dear!"
Xu cried for a long time before she slowly stopped, her shoulders still shaking from time to time: "You...you're still alive...it's great!"
After he finished speaking in a halting manner, tears began to flow again.
She choked up, "Where have you been all these years?"
Shen Yuan's heart trembled: "You..."
Looking at the astonishment on his face, Mrs. Xu's tears fell like beads from a broken string, unable to be stopped.
"I knew it, I knew it... the you in the mansion... is not you..."
"That's not you... You wouldn't look at me like that... Never..."
Shen Yuan was trembling all over, holding his wife tightly in his arms: "You, you know... Then why...?"
"I...I'm afraid..."
Although Xu only said these few words, Shen Yuan immediately understood what she meant, and his heart ached even more.
He opened his mouth and finally uttered a sound, his lips trembling: "You dare not admit that it wasn't me. You are afraid that if you admit it, I will no longer be here... right? Luan'er..."
Xu cried even louder, nodded, and fainted in Shen Yuan's arms.
Shen Yuan picked up his wife and carried her horizontally, and was about to get into the carriage when he caught a glimpse of Old Marquis Shen leaning on a cane, standing quietly beside him, his eyes looking at him filled with complexity and love.
He nodded at Old Marquis Shen, carried his wife onto the carriage and settled her down. After the convoy started moving again, he went to Old Marquis Shen's carriage.
As soon as he got in the car, he lifted his clothes and knelt down: "Dad, I am an unfilial son. I am sorry..."
Old Lord Shen picked up his cane and tapped the ground. His eyes, sunken by age, were faintly red. “Get up and let Dad see you.”
Shen Yuan stood up and sat opposite Old Marquis Shen. He raised his head and looked at Old Marquis Shen, smiling and said, "Dad, I haven't suffered. Look, I'm fine."
Lord Shen stared at him deeply: "Since you are not suffering, why don't you go home?"
Shen Yuan was stunned for a moment and said nothing.
Lord Shen: "Is it because of... him?"
Shen Yuan: "Yes. He is better than me in every aspect. He can..."
Lord Shen sighed deeply and wiped his eyes with his skinny hands: "It's your mother and I who have let you down..."
"You are all good children..."
Shen Yuan smiled and said, "Dad, it's all over. From now on, my brother and I can live with dignity. Whether in Xining or southern Xinjiang, having twins is not a sin..." At this point, his eyes became red again.
"By the way, Dad, did Beiyue tell you about this?"
Lord Shen nodded: "I recognized you the first time I saw you. You are my useless son... different from the one in the mansion..."
"Dad——!" Shen Yuan shouted.
Lord Shen smiled: "Although you are not promising, you are honest and kind. Dad has always been... proud of you!"
Although Shen Yuan was already middle-aged, this was the first time he heard his father speak like this. His face immediately flushed and his eyes warmed. "Dad, thank you."
"But my brother has good intentions. He suffered a lot since he was a child..."
"Dad knows. Beiyue told Dad... Dad didn't blame him. If we have a chance in the future, let's go to Southern Xinjiang to see him together."
"Okay, Dad."
After the father and son had talked, they kept talking together from noon until the sun was about to set.
It was not until the convoy stopped and Shen Ming came to call them for dinner that the father and son came out of the carriage.
When the father and son came out, they found Shen Ming and Xu waiting outside.
When Mrs. Xu saw the two men come out, she immediately bowed and said, "Dad, I am unfilial. I have not fulfilled my filial duties over the years and have not taken care of my children... I am sorry..."
Lord Shen sighed, "What a cruel fate! If you truly know your mistakes, live a good life with Yuan'er in the future."
"Yes, daughter-in-law remembers it."
During dinner, Shen Yuan accompanied Xu to apologize to her family members in the Duke's Mansion one by one. After her family members learned the whole story, they burst into tears again.
Fortunately, the misunderstandings were resolved and the family was happy.
On the side of Old Marquis Shen, only Shen Ming and the old doctor and his wife were left to accompany him.
Shen Ming looked at the old doctor Shen and suddenly said, "Old Shen, when we go to Xining this time, there will be no more twin guilt theories. Can you tell us your identity?"
