Chapter 616 Complicated Relationship

  After Zhang Dan Shui had chased Steward Pu away, he didn't care how angry the Zhang Family would be. No matter how they wanted to force him to follow them, it would be impossible.

  There were more than enough guards that Nan Hua had prepared for him. Those were the forced from Dark Moon Organization. Ordinary people and ordinary guards would have no chance of dealing with them.

  Zhang Dan Shui entered his room as he sighed.

  "Ah Shui."

  Hearing the call, Zhang Dan Shui was stunned. He turned to look at his mother, who insisted on coming. She was disguising herself as part of the maidservants in order to be able to come to the Capital City without attracting attention.

  "Mother, what are you doing in my room?" Zhang Dan Shui was stunned.

  "I see you talk with Steward Pu." Zhang Dan Shui's mother was feeling a bit conflicted. If not because of her low position, her son would have a better life. Living in Heng Xing City had been very peaceful, but she needed a full closure with the Zhang Family.

  It was also the reason why she chose to follow Zhang Dan Shui this time. She wanted to make it clear to Zhang Family so that they would never bother her and her son anymore. Even if it meant that she would have to divorce her husband.

  Divorce in this era was very severe.

  It could only be initiated by the man and whenever one talked about divorce, the one at fault would be the woman. Because of this, women who had already divorced usually couldn't live well and many of them even chose to end their own lives.

  Some of them couldn't bear to live with the shame of being faulted every single time.

  But Zhang Dan Shui's mother was feeling aggrieved. Seeing her own son living so horribly yet there was nothing that she could do, she felt that she had wronged her son terribly. This time, she wanted to protect her son properly.

  He's already an adult.

  He's also an official and for an official, filial piety was a must.

  Zhang Dan Shui's mother would never allow her past relationship to be the stumbling block for Zhang Dan Shui's future.

  Zhang Dan Shui smiled bitterly. "It's nothing much, Mother. You don't have to worry about him."

  "Would you be alright tomorrow?" she asked.

  "I will be fine." Zhang Dan Shui smiled reassuringly.

  Zhang Dan Shui's mother looked at her son and sighed. "Ah Shui, I'll protect you."

  "You've always protected me, Mother." Zhang Dan Shui knew very well that it was his mother who protected him well ever since he was young.

  This world is fair.

  But the people in the world are the one who were not fair.

  The relationship between concubine born children and main wife children have never been harmonious. Because they were born of different mother, they couldn't interact with each other peacefully.

  The main wife children felt that their half brother were the third party who destroyed their family's relationship.

  The concubine born children felt that their half brothers were the third party who destroyed their mother's love.

  And this would never stop.

  Zhang Dan Shui was not clear about it when he was young, but as he grew up, he understood very well that from the very beginning, the relationship he had with his half brother was nothing more than a surface relationship that wouldn't last long.

  Because of their differences.

  Some of them could maintain lukewarm relationship on the surface and didn't tear off each other's face.

  But Zhang Family was different.

  They clearly couldn't stand each other presence and suppressed those that was weaker, which was Zhang Dan Shui who had no place there.

  "Mother, I'm not a child anymore. I can handle Zhang Family." Zhang Dan Shui looked at his mother reassuringly.

  Zhang Dan Shui's mother shook her head. "It's not your fault that things turned this way. Ah Shui. I'll be the one to take the front."

  Zhang Dan Shui was silent.

  In regards to his mother and father's relationship, it was indeed not something that Zhang Dan Shui could possibly touch. After all, he didn't understand their feelings well and didn't want to be so meddling.

  What he knew very well was that his relationship with Zhang Dan Shang could never ease up.

  From the time when he was young, Zhang Dan Shang had trampled on him countless times. His own half brother was the one who tried to destroy him on countless occasions, making Zhang Dan Shui humiliated for so many times.

  Asking them to reconcile was impossible.

  Zhang Dan Shui could never forgive his half brother for what he had done before Zhang Dan Shui left.

  "Yes, Mother."

  "Good boy. Go and have some rest." Zhang Dan Shui's mother smiled and turned around, leaving Zhang Dan Shui's room.

  Looking at his mother's back, Zhang Dan Shui was filled with newfound determination. He wanted to help his mother as much as possible. Because of that, he had to make sure that he would be able to protect himself and fulfill his mother's dream.

  …

  That night, some people couldn't sleep peacefully while others didn't seem to care about the storm that was raging outside. Many others were simply enjoying watching the show and waited for juicier news.

  In the Nan Family, it was calm.

  Nan Hua had asked Ku to replace her while she sneaked away to Nan Family Residence. She had to admit that Nan Shu Cheng was quite meticulous as he had added more guards to protect his residence.

  "Hua'er!" Nan Luo's eyes lit up when he saw Nan Hua. When he saw her indifferent expression, he seemed to recall something as he speechlessly corrected his words, "I mean, Nan. How's Hua'er in Nan Shu Cheng's Residence?"

  "She's fine." Nan Hua had donned the silver mask and brown robe for this time. There was no way she could possibly wear all black as if she was an assassin when they were going to the palace.
