Chapter 969: Chapter 968: Am I Really Her Biological Son?

Hua Rong, supported by Nanny Cui, walked out of the room.

To her surprise, as she looked up, she saw Feng Jinrui standing in the courtyard.

Feng Jinrui had clearly been waiting for a long time, but he dared not to knock on the door.

Upon seeing her, a trace of unease and fear briefly flickered in his eyes.

He took hesitant steps forward and, in front of his mother, seemed utterly nervous.

"Mother, Liujin said you were unwell..."

"It’s nothing, it’s late, go back and rest."

Hua Rong merely glanced at him indifferently and continued to walk away with Nanny Cui’s assistance.

Feng Jinrui stood still, watching their receding figures, unable to withdraw his gaze for a long time.

He knew his mother did not like him, but he did not understand why.

Was it because he was not obedient enough?

But he had followed every word his mother said; he really did obey.

Only, his mother simply wouldn’t talk to him much.

It was as if she didn’t want a son like him at all.

After an unknown period, the door was opened again, and Feng Yexuan stepped out with a somewhat heavy gait.

"Loyal Brother..."

"Don’t call me Loyal Brother, Mother would be displeased."

"Big brother," Feng Jinrui called obediently.

Feng Yexuan caught a glimpse of the gloom in his eyes and felt a twinge of pity.

This younger brother had been well-protected since childhood, unaware of the world’s hardships and never having suffered any grievances.

That’s why he lacked the cunning and defensiveness that members of the Imperial Family possessed.

So pure that anyone who met him wouldn’t dislike him.

Only their mother, it seemed, did not care for him.

"Big brother, have I done something wrong? Why does Mother always dislike me?"

As Feng Jinrui spoke, he still couldn’t help but look back.

Even though he was sure his mother had walked far away, he was still afraid that she would overhear and become unhappy again.

Although Mother would not lash out at him, she would become colder and more indifferent.

He was uneasy, "Big brother, where exactly did I go wrong? Is it because I am not as outstanding as you?"

"It has nothing to do with you," Feng Yexuan looked up at the sky.

Dawn was breaking.

"Did you stand guard all night?"

Feng Jinrui nodded, "Liujin said Mother was uncomfortable, I wanted to check on her, but... but I was scared she didn’t want to see me."

Sometimes, he even doubted whether he truly was her natural-born son.

But Nanny Cui said that he was, that he truly was her natural-born son.

The big brother also said so.

Yet why was Mother so cold towards her own son?

"You are her natural-born son, why would she not want to see you? It’s just that she’s not been feeling well these days, hence her attitude has been somewhat cold. Don’t take it to heart," Feng Yexuan said.

Feng Yexuan, a man who was cold to everyone his whole life, was always gentle only with Feng Jinrui.

For many years, the brothers had relied on each other. In Feng Jinrui’s heart, the big brother was both father and brother, a sibling as well as an elder.

He listened to everything he said.

"Go back and rest soon," Feng Yexuan said.

Feng Jinrui nodded, but his gaze still involuntarily wandered towards the direction Hua Rong had left.

"Now, go back and rest," Feng Yexuan’s voice grew stern.

"Yes..." Feng Jinrui still hesitated, "Big brother, am I... really Mother’s son?"

"Yes!" Without a doubt.

Feng Jinrui exhaled softly, nodded, and then with his head lowered, walked towards his own chamber.

Feng Yexuan was about to return to his room but just as he took a step, his eyes suddenly darkened. With a leap, he landed on the high wall of the back yard, "Who’s there? Come out!"
