Shen Feng shook his head: "No, this is not Si Yan's fault. I volunteered to save him. Even if I had to do it again, I would not hesitate to rescue him again from drowning."

Mrs. Shen suddenly flew into a rage. She gnashed her teeth and shouted, "This is all his fault!"

"That unfilial son would have been fine if he had died, but he dragged you down with him and caused you to become ill!" She was halfway through her words when she realized she had said something wrong and quickly shut up.

There was a dead silence in the hall. Shen Feng stared at his mother with eyes wide open in disbelief.

She had kept this secret deep in her heart for many years and never told it to anyone, but it was leaked out in a moment of impulse.

"Feng'er!" Mrs. Shen tried to make amends.

Shen Feng took a few steps back, shocked: "Did you plan Si Yan's accident?"

"That's not the case, I..."

"How can you be so cruel to Si Yan?"

Shen Feng smiled bitterly. Although he had long known that his mother favored him and was cold to his younger brother Si Yan, he never expected that his mother would intend to kill a five-year-old child.

Mrs. Shen seemed at a loss, and stammered, "That's because Shen Siyan was a child your father brought back from somewhere, and he hid the truth from me. I suspected that he was a bastard born outside."

Shen Feng's body shook and his face turned pale as paper.

"Feng'er." Mrs. Shen reached out to hold him.

Shen Feng suddenly shook her hand away and yelled, "Don't touch me!"

The person in front of him was no longer his mother. A real mother would never kill an innocent child.

"Feng'er, listen to me..." Mrs. Shen's voice was filled with pain. Facing her son's strange and cold eyes, her heart was bleeding.

"Enough." Shen Feng moved away step by step. He was afraid that if he said one more word, the image of the mother in his mind would completely collapse.

"Mother." Shen Feng smiled bitterly. Before he finished speaking, he felt dizzy and then fainted.

"Feng'er!" Mrs. Shen shouted.

Because of the huge shock, Shen Feng fainted for two days. When he woke up again, Que'er was guarding the bedside. Seeing the young master wake up, she hurried to call a doctor.

Shen Feng barely raised his hand and held Que'er.

"Don't go." He said weakly, his eyes full of confusion and pain. At this moment, everything changed.

Shen Feng opened his eyes, his gaze was hollow and deep, and he said to Que'er beside him in a hoarse voice: "Don't let anyone come."

"How can this be possible? We need to ask a doctor to come and see him. Madam said that she should be notified as soon as the young master wakes up."

Que'er was eager to express her worries. She had hardly slept for the past two days because she was worried about the safety of the young master. Now that she saw that he had finally woken up, she was filled with excitement.

When Shen Feng heard this, his face turned gloomy and he lowered his eyes slightly.

"Don't tell anyone I'm awake."

"why?"

Que'er was puzzled. The young master's awakening was a happy event, but his expression seemed unusually heavy, as if he was carrying some important secret.

Shen Feng loosened his clenched hands, exhaled slowly, then opened his eyes and asked, "Que'er, do you listen to me or my wife?"

"Of course I listen to the Master!"

Que'er answered without hesitation: "Master, you saved my life. I am willing to go through fire and water for you."

"That's good."

Shen Feng forced out a bitter smile: "You are the only one I can trust now. I need you to help me do something."

Seeing this, Que'er also became serious: "Master, please give me your orders."

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, and then the door was pushed open. Shen Feng quickly lay down, closed his eyes, and pretended to be still unconscious.

"Que'er, is the young master awake? I seemed to hear the young master's voice just now." The old nanny asked as she walked, her eyes falling on the person on the bed.

Que'er was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "The young master hasn't woken up yet."

The old lady frowned. She did hear the young master's voice, but when she entered the room, she found that the young master was still unconscious. Did she hear it wrongly?

Que'er secretly pinched her thigh, tears welling up in pain: "When will the young master wake up? If something happens to the young master..."

"What are you talking about!" The old nanny changed her expression and scolded harshly.

The bird immediately fell silent, tears streaming down its face, its heart filled with sadness.

"Master, you are a lucky man. You will definitely wake up!" She quickly changed her words.

Seeing Que'er crying so sadly, the old nanny thought she had just misheard, so she comforted her with a few words and left, asking Que'er to notify her immediately once the young master woke up.

After the old nanny left, Shen Feng opened his eyes and looked at Que'er.

Que'er wiped away the tears from her eyes and asked softly, "Master, is it right for me to do this?"

Shen Feng nodded gently: "You did a good job."

Que'er responded with a smile. Although she didn't know why the young master acted like this, she would firmly guard this secret.

"Young Master, what do you need me to do?" Que'er knelt beside the bed, blinking curiously, looking at Shen Feng intently.

Shen Feng looked exhausted, with an imperceptible melancholy in his eyes. He was silent for a long time, and finally said in a hoarse voice: "Help me, take me away from here."

The room was silent, and only the sound of their heartbeats could be heard.

Que'er's eyes gradually widened. She could hardly believe her ears. She tried to lower her voice and asked, "What?"

She thought she had misunderstood what the young master meant.

"Take me away from here." Shen Feng repeated it clearly again to make sure Que'er understood.

Que'er was so shocked that she was speechless: "Young, Young Master..."

She almost bit her tongue, and the pain made her eyes tear up. After finally calming down, she stared at Shen Feng with wide eyes: "Are you really going to leave the Shen Mansion?"

"Yes." Shen Feng's expression was calm and firm.

"How can you do this? The doctor said that your health condition does not allow you to go out!"

Que'er said worriedly. She knew that the young master would cough even when sitting in a sedan chair. What's more, he had just woken up from a coma and was very weak.

However, there was no trace of joking in Shen Feng's eyes.

He had woken up a long time ago, but he just opened his eyes after lying in bed for a whole day. Faced with the complicated situation between his mother and Si Yan, he knew he had to make a choice - not to be a burden to anyone.

If his mother's rebellion were to be exposed, the entire Shen family would be implicated, and Si Yan might hesitate for fear of his own safety.

He couldn't be a hindrance and didn't want innocent people to suffer because of him.

Shen Feng took a deep breath and said softly: "I have decided. I want to leave the Shen Mansion and go out into the world."

Que'er looked at the young master's face and realized that once he made up his mind, no one could change it.

She heard Shen Feng say that he had never left the Shen Mansion since the accident when he was eight years old, and now he felt that he had little time left and was unwilling to spend the rest of his days in the Shen Mansion.

"Master!"

Que'er felt her nose sore and tears welled up in her eyes: "I understand. I will definitely take you to see the outside world!"
