Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2396: Shan Yu’s Past (3)



"Are you going to watch over him?" Yu Zheng Xi asked.

"He's already an adult, why should I watch over him?" Traveling Doctor Liu snorted. "Let him be for now. He'll be back soon."

Yu Zheng Xi shrugged and said nothing else to his Master. Since Traveling Doctor Liu had already said that, there was no need for Yu Zheng Xi to say anything more.

"Yes, Master."

...

Shan Yu walked out of Shi Hao Yi's Clinic and walked around the city. To be honest, the city layout had changed quite a lot since the last time he came here. There were many new buildings and the old buildings were also demolished.

It was clear that many changes have happened over the past few years.

Walking through the street, Shan Yu watched over the changes and lamented that he truly didn't know this city anymore.

It didn't take long for Shan Yu to reach his old residence.

To be honest, even if Shan Yu wanted to forget this place, he didn't think that he could do it.

As Shi Hao Yi said, the place was no longer the same.

The area that used to be Shan Family's Residence had now changed into open field and there were many types of herbs planted here. There were also fence on the side, preventing others from entering by mistake.

Since people already knew that this belonged to the Shan Family, not many people dared to step in.

They didn't want to offend the Shan Family.

Shan Yu stood at the edge without any intention of entering.

He was looking at the building that remained in front of him. It was the main hall where his father and his father's wife used to stay. And his mother couldn't even get close to there.

His eyes flickered slightly, remembering the past.

...

*More than 3 decades earlier*

The young Shan Yu was staying with his mother in a broken down residence.

The fact that his mother had Shan Family's child was not a secret. It was more like, this matter was impossible to be kept a secret.

The young Shan Yu stayed inside.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

His father didn't want to let others know about this because his wife came from a relatively powerful family in this city.

If they knew that he had another child, it would be troublesome.

Unfortunately, this matter couldn't be kept hidden.

There were always some drama happening in the residence and many people were paying close attention to this matter. The young Shan Yu was not allowed to come out today as his mother said that he should stay hidden.

Even though the young Shan Yu was the young master of the Shan Family, his position was rather awkward.

He was not publicly acknowledged.

'Mother is taking a long time today.'

In the dark and cold night, the young Shan Yu was sitting while holding his legs together. He was waiting for his mother to return and sleep together. As a child, the young Shan Yu wanted to stay with his mother more.

Because it was really warm.

No matter what happened during the day, the young Shan Yu's mother always greeted him with smile. And the young Shan Yu also knew that his mother is tired, so he tried his best to accommodate her.

The mother and daughter lived this simple life together.

Even if there were some unpleasantness between them and the Shan Family, both of them endured it.

Once, the young Shan Yu asked his mother, 'Why can't we leave?'

'Because I don't have any other place to stay, Ah Yu.'

She's nothing more than a maid sold to Shan Yu's father's wife when she was young. She had no family members and even if they were still alive, they would not care about her life and

death.

Because from the moment they signed the contract, she was no longer their daughter.

At that time, the young Shan Yu didn't understand much.

But later on, he understood that the practice of selling people to be the servants in rich and noble residences. Those who were poor would resort to sell their children because it would give them a way out and also earn them some hard needed money.

That day, the young Shan Yu waited for a long time.

But his mother didn't return.

Out of worries and concern, the young Shan Yu sneaked out of the house. His small hands held the door and he flinched back because of the cold.

It was winter.

Snow had long fallen and the temperature dropped.

The two of them didn't have much firewood, so they always only used it when it was night time. Otherwise, there was simply not enough for them to spare.

Seeing the dark sky and the cold temperature outside, the young Shan Yu hesitated before he

walked out.

His small legs carved small footprints on the snowy grounds.

There were not many servants during this hour. It was winter and these servants were also lazy to come out when it was too cold. They would rather stay in their own residence and didn't come out again until it was necessary.

Without anyone to hold him back, the young Shan Yu slowly made his way to the main hall.

He remembered that his mother said that she was called by the Madam today and would be

staying in this place.

So the young Shan Yu came here.

Even though the young Shan Yu rarely came out, he still remembered the layout of the

residence.

It was more like, he had to remember.

Because if he didn't remember, he would get lost and his mother would be looking for him

everywhere.

At this time, the young Shan Yu stood still in front of the main hall.

He hesitated.

Because he was usually not allowed to come inside.

*tep*

Hearing faint footsteps, the young Shan Yu quickly ducked to the side and hid behind the bushes. He knew that if the servants were to find him, they would mock and beat him up.

It was painful.

He didn't like it.
