Chapter 394: Chapter 394: Husband and Wife Were Birds of the Same Forest

"You needn’t rush to deny what I’ve said, after all, the truth cannot be faked."

Of course, the fake can’t become true either.

The old Master Quan had indeed summoned Quan Sicheng today because he wanted to tell him that there was an issue with his origins.

And he had plans to secure a way out for Quan Sicheng.

However, he hadn’t considered revealing Quan Sicheng’s true status to the public.

After all, being a bastard son wasn’t exactly a reputable title.

He never imagined that the secret of Quan Sicheng being his bastard son would be exposed by Shi Yaoguang.

Even looking at Quan Jinbei’s expression, it seemed he had known about it for quite some time.

Thinking of how Quan Jinbei knew everything but deliberately chose not to reveal it, just watching him pretend in front of him, the old Master Quan felt like he was being deceived and toyed with by his son.

His gaze toward Quan Jinbei was filled with additional resentment as a result.

Shi Yaoguang stepped forward, blocking Quan Jinbei’s line of sight.

Her eyes challenging the old master, "Old Master, that’s not very honorable of you, is it?"

"Although you cheated on my mother-in-law, that is, the Third Master’s mother, at least... it’s a fact that she bore you the Third Master."

"And he..." Shi Yaoguang chuckled lightly, "He is your only legitimate son, and that is also a fact."

"I’ve heard plenty about your shameless deeds, Old Master, so perhaps it isn’t quite appropriate to discuss dignity with you, but I would still like to say one thing, even if you have no shame, you should at least have some decency."

As she spoke, Shi Yaoguang made a gesture like unveiling a mask.

"Do I need to remind you of how my mother-in-law died? Or perhaps... you don’t want to keep even the last shred of your dignity?"

The old Master Quan’s face changed color unexpectedly when she mentioned his late wife’s cause of death.

Quan Jinbei was also taken aback by her mention of this, showing a look of surprise.

Shi Yaoguang reached out and took his hand, a gesture of consolation.

When facing the old master, she became aggressively confrontational, "Man acts, heaven watches."

"You needn’t be curious about how I know all these things. There is much about that time that I am aware of. If you don’t want me to spill everything, you’d better... do as I say."

The old master’s face shifted from one color to another, and after a while, he regained his composure, looking at her with a more guarded expression, "What do you want?"

Shi Yaoguang pointed at Quan Sicheng, "This scourge, my husband and I cannot afford to keep."

"Since he is your own flesh and blood, Old Master, you’d better take him back with you."

The old Master Quan didn’t think her demand was that simple.

Sure enough, she immediately followed up with, "Since he’s an illegitimate son, he should at least look the part. What’s the meaning of him pretending to be someone else all the time?"

Quan Sicheng heard her repeatedly call him a "bastard" and "illegitimate son," his face turning ashen, "Shi Yaoguang, stop insulting people!"

"Insulting?" Shi Yaoguang licked her lips, her smile bright, "Aren’t you putting yourself on a pedestal? To specially insult you, you’re not worthy enough."

She shrugged her shoulders, "My only demand is to put everything back in its rightful place."

"Of course, considering neither of you have any shame, even if Quan Sicheng returns to his original place, the old master might still provide for him, which is quite unacceptable."

"After all, just a person of lowly birth, what kind of background one comes from, one must have that level of awareness."

Quan Sicheng listened to her words and felt that every sentence was humiliating him.

Shi Yiqing shared the same feeling.

In some respects, Quan Sicheng and Shi Yiqing were strikingly similar.

Even more so, both encompassed the labels of illegitimate child, concubine’s son, and adulterine bastard.

If one wasn’t disgusted, one could actually compliment the diversity of their situations.

Without mentioning these, Shi Yaoguang watched the elderly Mr. Quan leisurely, waiting for his response.

Whether he was willing to let Quan Sicheng return to his original position.

"Quan Sicheng is merely a child born from a concubine. His very existence is a shame to our family."

"When I say to return him to his original position, I don’t just mean restoring the status of an illegitimate child. What I want is for him to return everything he’s acquired over the years that doesn’t belong to him!"

Shi Yiqing couldn’t help but exclaim, "How could that possibly happen?"

Over the years, how many benefits had Quan Sicheng reaped using the identity of Quan Jinbei’s adopted son, the future heir of the Quan Family?

Not to mention the money spent, the education he received could not be so easily returned.

After all, the knowledge had long been etched into his mind; it couldn’t be extracted just because of a single statement.

Shi Yaoguang obviously knew this, which is why she said with much understanding, "As long as you agree, we can discuss a way."

"Even if it can’t be completely undone, there’s always an equivalent exchange, right?"

"Over the years, Quan Sicheng has been raised as the heir, with probably the most spent on education funds. In addition, there are his luxurious expenditures."

Speaking of this, Shi Yaoguang wore a look of deep distress, "If you calculate it, the expenses over the years... even if you sold yourself, you couldn’t make up for it."

"Uh..."

She suddenly narrowed her eyes and scrutinized Quan Sicheng carefully.

Her gaze primarily rested on his waist and abdomen, and after a couple of glances, still not satisfied, she moved behind Quan Sicheng, and carefully inspected his uplifted buttocks.

"If you were to sell yourself using the title of the former heir of the Quan Family, it’s not impossible."

"After all...some people have exotic tastes."

Hearing her imply the deep meaning behind "exotic tastes," Quan Sicheng shuddered.

"Shi Yaoguang, I really didn’t misjudge you; you are a vicious woman! I’m telling you, I will never do such a thing, don’t even think about it!"

Shi Yaoguang nonchalantly spread her hands, "Whether I think about it or not is not important. What matters is whether you can repay the money."

"If you can’t redeem yourself, then...taking certain paths becomes a necessary existence, whether you want to do it or not, you have to."

Saying so, she then looked at Shi Yiqing, "And you."

"Spouses are like birds of the same forest..." Shi Yaoguang deliberately didn’t finish the sentence, looking at her with hopeful eyes, "Your Brother Sicheng is about to sell himself to pay off debts. You surely won’t abandon him, right?"

Deep down, Shi Yiqing was already thinking of backing out, but she feigned composure on the surface, "Of course, I won’t part ways with Brother Sicheng. Don’t think that by saying these things, you can sow discord between us!"

"Don’t worry, I have no intention of sowing discord between you."

Shi Yaoguang said with an innocent face, "You see, calamities need to bring out the best in each other. I, being a good person, naturally wouldn’t hope for other victims to appear."

Hearing her, her words implying both she and Quan Sicheng were calamities, Shi Yiqing couldn’t help but glower.
