Chapter 3468
Wang Bianfei wasn't surprised to see Butler E go up the mountain. Since Miss Wang could let the old hunter go up the mountain, she could naturally let the butler go up the mountain. However, when he thought of how Butler E's idea almost cost him his life, Wang Bianfei's face turned cold.
The butler didn't care about Wang Bianfei's attitude. As long as Wang Bianfei didn't die, he could answer to Miss Wang.
The old hunter was naturally sent home by the servants while Wang Bianfei was brought back to the Wang family by the butler.
Wang Bianfei's mother didn't sleep the entire night. When she saw her son return safely, her vision turned black and she couldn't stand steadily.
Wang Bianfei was shocked. He didn't care about anything else and wanted to pounce over. However, he was stopped by the butler.
"Wang Bianfei …" The butler sneered, "Your mother is fine. She ate a lot of chicken, duck, and fish last night.
Today, you came back. Originally, I wanted to send her back to the dog cage. However, since her body is weak, there's no need to send her back.
Our agreement is still in place!
If you're not confident, there's still half a day left … "
Wang Bianfei looked at his unconscious mother with heartache and interrupted the butler, "No need. Let's do it now!"
"Okay!" The butler waved his hand and said, "Bring everything over!"
"Woof woof …" The vicious dog barked and was brought into the dog cage. A few servants brought over the desk and the portrait from before. When Wang Yifei's mother heard the dog's barking, she actually slowly woke up.
At this moment, Master Wang also walked over slowly and sat on the armchair at the side. Wang Bianfei didn't walk to the desk. Instead, he took out the straw paper from his embroidered bag and walked quickly to the dog cage.
The vicious dog in the dog cage saw someone coming and barked even louder. It was unknown whether it was intentional or accidental, but the vicious dog broke free from the chains. The door of the dog cage wasn't closed and the vicious dog pounced out of the dog cage towards Wang Bianfei.
"Son!"
Wang Bianfei's mother suddenly jumped up from the ground. She no longer cared about her fear of the vicious dog and ran towards Wang Bianfei, wanting to block in front of Wang Bianfei.
Looking back at Wang Bianfei, he was calm and collected. Seeing the vicious dog pouncing towards him, he suddenly raised the piece of paper. With a shake of his hand, the picture of a roaring tiger opened.
"Awooo …" The grass paper fluttered in the wind. Although the tiger on the paper was silent, its demeanor was clear, as if it was about to break free from the paper. When the vicious dog saw it, it was so scared that it crawled on the ground and howled. For a moment, it even peed and defecated …
Seeing this scene, not only Wang Bianfei's mother, but even the housekeeper and Old Master Wang were stunned!
"Father …" A clear and melodious voice sounded from behind the crowd. "Please let Wang Bianfei go. I was born with a short life, and my face is slightly blemished. Even if Wang Bianfei painted me as a fairy, wouldn't people ignore me when they see me?
If he doesn't mind his daughter's flaws, so what if Wang Bianfei paints his daughter's true face? "
"Alas, my daughter!
You don't understand. "
Lord Wang sighed and said, "The first sight is the most important. If the son of the deputy county magistrate saw your true face at first sight, he would definitely not take a second look.
But if … he didn't see it, he would naturally have a good impression. Even if he saw it again … he might not care … "
"But …" Miss Wang hesitated and didn't know how to continue.
At this moment, Wang Bianfei bit her lips, looked at Miss Wang and whispered a few words.
"Oh?" Miss Wang was stunned and immediately understood. She sighed and said, "Perhaps … this is the only way!"
As she spoke, Miss Wang walked to the door of the backyard. She raised her hand and a round fan was raised, covering her left cheek. The morning light was bright and beautiful, and the red plum blossoms were in full bloom. Outside the moon, there was a girl holding a round fan. Her beautiful face was half exposed, and it was really moving.
"Good, good, good!"
Seeing Wang Bianfei's painting of a beauty, Old Master Wang clapped his hands excitedly. He took out a large ingot of gold and threw it into Wang Bianfei's hand. He shouted, "This is my real daughter!
Wang Bianfei, if you had done this earlier, why would you do this? "
Wang Bianfei lowered her head slightly. Her eyes were filled with bitterness. She reached out to receive the golden words and raised her head again, "It's all this little one's fault. I don't know the ways of the world and have caused trouble for Old Master!"
"Go, go!" Old Master Wang was in a good mood. He waved his hand and said, "If this marriage is successful, I'll invite you to drink wine."
"Yes, this little one knows. Many thanks for Old Master's generous gift!" Wang Bianfei finished speaking and turned around to support his mother and left the Wang family.
When they returned home, Wang Bianfei respectfully helped his mother to sit on a chair. He then knelt down on the ground with a 'plop' sound and kowtowed. Tears flowed down his face as he sobbed, "This Boy is unfilial. I've let Mother suffer!"
"Son …" Wang Bianfei's mother looked at her sweetheart. She didn't know what to say. Her heart was filled with mixed feelings. She touched Wang Bianfei's head and said after a long time, "Get up!"
"Yes, Mother!" Wang Bianfei obediently got up and stood beside his mother.
Wang Bianfei's mother looked at her son who was half a head taller than her. Her eyes were filled with kindness. She smiled and said, "Mother didn't suffer!
You don't have to worry.
You can paint according to your own wishes and not be moved by Old Master Wang's threats. Mother also won't say anything. Even if you know how to be flexible in the end and use the Spring and Autumn Art to fulfill Young Miss Wang's wish, you can also escape. Mother also won't say anything!
As for Mother being pulled into the dog cage, don't even think about it. Mother is the child's sky. Even if you want Mother to die immediately, Mother is willing! "
"Mother …" Wang Bianfei's face was really red. He really regretted that his persistence put his mother in danger.
As she spoke, Wang Yifei's mother's smile immediately vanished and changed into a serious expression. She reprimanded, "What Mother wants to punish you today is that you actually lied to Mother and went up the mountain to look for a tiger without permission!"
Wang Bianfei didn't dare to be negligent. He hurriedly knelt down again and extended his hand. He lowered his head and said, "Boy knows his wrongs. Boy is willing to accept punishment!"
"En, come over here and receive your punishment in front of your father!" Wang Bianfei's mother got up. Her tone was a bit sad. She turned around and went to the inner room.
Wang Bianfei's face slightly changed. His small teeth bit his lips until they turned white. He knew that if he didn't make Mother sad, Mother definitely wouldn't let him be punished in front of Father's portrait.
On the wall of the inner room, there was a portrait. The middle-aged man in the portrait was very similar to Wang Bianfei. It was Wang Bianfei's father who died early in his prime.
Wang Bianfei obediently knelt in front of Father's portrait and extended his two small hands. Wang Bianfei's mother picked up a ferule from the offering table. She slightly bit her lips and raised the ferule up high. With a "pa" sound, it hit Wang Bianfei's small palm.
"Hiss …" Wang Bianfei took a cold breath and didn't cry out in pain. Even so, how could Wang Bianfei's mother not hear it?
The corner of her mouth slightly twitched and her hand unconsciously trembled. However, she gritted her teeth and raised it again. With a "pa" sound, the ferule came down again. Wang Bianfei's arm involuntarily trembled again. However, when Wang Bianfei's mother raised the ferule again, her gaze fell on Wang Bianfei's hand. On his palm, there were two dark red marks from the ruler. There were a few bloody scratches from the mountain rocks. Now, with a hit, they split open again and blood flowed out. These blood stained the rough calluses on his fingers red!
"Son …" Seeing this scene, how could Wang Bianfei's mother still hit him? She couldn't help but let out a heart-wrenching cry and threw the ferule to the ground. She hugged Wang Bianfei's small head and cried out loud.
Seeing his mother's loss of self-control, Wang Bianfei instead calmed down. He leaned into his mother's embrace and said word by word, "Mother, don't feel sorry for this Boy. Boy made a mistake and should be punished. It's this Boy who is unfilial and made mother sad!"
However, the more Wang Bianfei spoke like this, the more Wang Bianfei's mother's heart ached. She cried for an entire meal's worth of time before stopping. Xiao Hua, who was invisibly standing outside the room, felt his heart ache when he heard this. He used his hand to touch his chin and seemed to be thinking about something.
After Wang Yifei's mother finished crying, she remembered that Wang Yifei had not eaten a drop of rice or drank a drop of water for half a day and a night. She hurriedly took her son out of the room and prepared food for him. Although the food was simple and crude, Wang Yifei sat by his mother's side and ate very happily.
Wang Bianfei's mother then took out Wang Bianfei's clothes from the basket at the side and began to sew …
"Son ~" Looking at Wang Bianfei eating in big mouthfuls, Wang Bianfei's mother said as usual, "You also saw it. It's not easy for us orphans and widows to live in this world. You have to properly learn painting and become the best great painter in Ping Xi City like your father. Only then can you stand out among your peers, only then can you …"
Speaking to this point, Wang Bianfei didn't raise his head like before and obediently agreed. Instead, he lowered his head and only ate, not replying.
Wang Bianfei's mother glanced at her son and didn't pay him any attention. She only thought that her child was starving and continued, "There's mother to take care of the family. You don't have to care too much. You can only properly learn painting. When your father was still alive, he told mother that your talent far surpassed yours. You can definitely become the most famous great painter in Ping Xi City, even …"
"Mother …" Wang Bianfei, who had been burying his head in eating, suddenly raised his head. He looked at his mother and said word by word, "Boy … doesn't want to learn painting anymore!"
"What?"
Wang Bianfei's mother was stunned. The sewing needle suddenly pierced her finger and a bean-sized drop of blood instantly flowed out of her finger. However, she didn't seem to see it as she stared at Wang Bianfei.
Wang Bianfei saw that his mother's gaze was so sharp. His eyes unconsciously flickered and he wanted to lower his head.
"You …" Wang Bianfei's mother was about to get angry. However, she took a deep breath and placed her bleeding finger in her mouth to suck it. She suppressed her emotions and said indifferently, "Why don't you want to learn painting?"
"Mother …" Wang Bianfei was a little scared. However, looking at the broken porcelain bowl in front of him, he bit his lips and said, "Boy said it. Mother, don't be angry!"
