I didn't sleep well all night, and got up a little wilted the next day, and after freshening up, I went to the main room for breakfast, and found that my father Qin Ping and my cousin Wu Shaoying had arrived one after another.

It can be seen that the two of them are not in good spirits, and they probably didn't sleep well either. It's just that the atmosphere between them is a little more peaceful, as if nothing happened last night, and they are still talking very cordially and friendly.

Qin Hanzhen felt that he was probably not rested enough, so his head was heavy and it was difficult to think, so he could only stiffen his face, and also pretended to be fine, bowing his head and having breakfast.

In the whole house, Zhao Mo was a little better, and he talked to Qin Bai and the Niu clan with great interest, mentioning several good friends in the Qin clan, one of whom had a birthday tomorrow, and would have a small banquet at home at noon, and ask him to go to Le Yile together. He promised to participate, so he had to report to Qin Bai and his wife first.

Qin Bai naturally wouldn't stop him, and Niu Shi also said: "It's the second boy of the eighth room, right? It turns out that he is Ming'er's birthday, why don't you tell me? Originally, I had a bitter summer and had no appetite for anything, but thanks to his side dishes, I was able to eat half a bowl more for every meal in May. Since he's having a birthday, I, as an uncle and grandmother, can't be too stingy. Ming'er, you can bring me a gift. ”

Zhao Mo agreed with a smile, and said, "If he still has new side dishes at home, I will also ask him to prepare more and bring them to his uncle and grandmother." ”

Niu smiled and patted him: "You ghost spirit!" was very useful in his heart.

Wu Shaoying turned his head to look at Qin Bai and showed a gentle smile: "Teacher, when Brother Zi'er arrives in Jinling, he should also go to meet the clansmen, right?"

Qin Bai was stunned and thoughtful: "The genealogy that we keep by ourselves naturally has his name, but the ...... in the clan Yes, not yet. He had not been to the clan, had never worshipped his ancestors, and his name would not have been in the genealogy books. Now that he has arrived in Jinling, he should also do what he should do. He turned to Niu, "While we haven't left yet, it's better to sort these things out earlier." However, Brother Zi'er's biological mother is afraid that there is some trouble. "Qin Bai really doesn't want to put the name of the He family on the family tree now. But if it weren't for her, where would Brother Zi'er come from? A wife is no better than a concubine, and the rules of a concubine are chaotic.

Niu Shi said: "I said earlier, I should have married Brother An earlier." If he has a daughter-in-law now, it is enough to record Brother Zi's daughter-in-law name. ”

Qin Bai shook his head: "The date is not right, sooner or later people will see the problem." Besides, the new daughter-in-law may not be reluctant in her heart. You have to ask her about this kind of thing first. Maybe I'll go to the clan house to find my clan brother to discuss and discuss, and I can always come up with a way. I don't plan to hide this from the sect. ”

The Niu clan was a little worried about the attitude of the sect's side, what if they refused to recognize their grandson's title as the eldest son, but she also knew that Qin Bai's idea was reasonable, so she could only keep silent.

Seeing this, Wu Shaoying was thoughtful.

After breakfast, Qin Ping also began to discuss with his parents. He planned to stay in Jinling for only two or three days, and then he was about to set off for Guangzhou again. In fact, his trip has slowed down a bit. When they were heading south, they were delayed for several days on the road due to the rainy summer. The imperial court set a deadline for him to take office, and he did not want to delay it for too long. Moreover, he planned to take a boat from Jinling out of the Yangtze River estuary and transfer to the sea to the port of Guangzhou. If he takes the canal, he will have to take the land route when he arrives in Hangzhou, so it is better to take the sea route directly, which can save a lot of time. And at the moment, it seems that there are not many winds and waves at sea, so it is just a good way to take the road.

Before Qin Ping went south, he had inquired about the news from officials who were familiar with the situation in Guangzhou, and this was also the method recommended to him by those officials.

Qin Bai and Niu's had no objection to his plan, but they had some doubts about the sea route and asked many details to ensure that it was really safe to go by sea, so that they could rest easy.

When the three of their parents and son were talking, Wu Shaoying familiarly picked up Brother Zi'er and took him to the outer study to read with a smile, just as they were used to doing every day on the southbound boat.

Qin Hanzhen watched them leave with some sneering, feeling strange in his heart. My cousin seems to be very good with Brother Zi'er. After listening to the conversation between Qin Ping and Wu Shaoying last night, Qin Hanzhen always felt that the scene in front of him was like a dream.

Zhao Mo gently tugged at her sleeve. She immediately retracted her thoughts, nodded to Zhao Mo knowingly, and the two went to the courtyard next door, pretending to practice painting and calligraphy as usual, and after Qingdai served tea and retreated, they began to continue the unfinished topic last night.

Qin Hanzhen asked Zhao Mo in a low voice: "You said it last night...... Is it true that your father was also your enemy? I thought that your mother really fell ill and gave up treatment for the sake of his great cause, so she died. Isn't that the case?!"

Zhao Mo said lightly: "I did say so to the people who were a little closer to me. If it were someone who wasn't close, I would just say that my mother died of illness. My father thought I knew the latter, but then he thought I knew the former. He didn't know that I knew more than he expected. ”

Qin Hanzhen gasped: "So, he really did something to your mother?!"

Zhao Mo fell into the memory: "I didn't see him do it, but I know it...... My mother was only suffering from a small cold at first, but because she was frightened when she found someone poisoning her in the food and tea, her condition worsened, but it was still not fatal, she only needed to take medicine well, recuperate in peace, and live ten days and a half months, and she would be fine. At that time, it was my father who made the royal family's suggestion, and my mother was persuaded by him that if my father could really become the royal heir, our family would no longer have to worry about being threatened by the prince and the princess! When I think about it now, I know that my mother's thoughts were just delusions, and she wanted me to become a human being...... But his father swore an oath, and he really made a promise to his mother, and said that if he broke this oath, he would make his wish empty and have nothing!"

Qin Hanzhen raised his eyebrows: "Did he take an oath?" Although Zhao Shuo made a promise in front of Yuan Pei in exchange for her sacrificing her life, vacating the position of his wife, and marrying the Wang family, so as to gain the support of the Wang family and strive for the status of the imperial heir, but when he returned to the capital, he forgot his oath and abandoned his eldest son. Now that the crown prince has recovered, the East Palace does not have to change people, and Zhao Shuo's wish has become empty, he has nothing but a position that should belong to him, isn't it just to fulfill his oath?

Zhao Mo was very indifferent to this question: "It's okay to swear or not, my mother was confused for a while, but I wasn't confused." My father has long been blinded by power, and even his wife can be abandoned, but I can't abandon my biological mother! I went to see my mother in private, crying and begging her to drink the potion, and begging her not to leave me alone. I could see that she had been moved by what I said at that time, and was about to give up her original idea, and instead persuade her father to stay away from the royal family and work for the emperor instead, so that the emperor could see his talents, and the position of the son of the world would soon fall to him. My mother had to persuade my father first, but I wanted her to take care of her body first before revealing her style to my father. After all, my mother couldn't resist me and agreed to my request. ”

Qin Hanzhen heard a little badly: "Didn't the plan go well?"

Zhao Mo looked at her: "My mother obviously took the medicine, and the medicine I quietly boiled, I looked for someone to see the prescription later, and there was no problem." But her condition is getting worse day by day...... This simply doesn't make sense! I watched my mother get weaker and weaker, but my father was calm, as if it were something that was normal. I don't believe my mother was really just sick, she must have eaten something wrong. After searching around, I found that my mother's daily porridge water was a little more stuffy...... The porridge water was boiled in the small kitchen in our own yard, without the hands of outsiders, and every day the big girl boiled it and sent it to the house, during which I could touch the bowl of porridge, except for the big girl, there were only father, mother and me. The big girls are all my mother's henchmen, and I can't do anything with my hands and feet, who else can add things to the porridge and water?"

He gritted his teeth: "My mother promised my father first, not to take medicine, let her condition worsen, and when she died, she could vacate the seat for the daughter of the Wang family." My father cried and thanked my mother for her affection, but he still hated my mother...... Die too slowly!" And the battle for the emperor's heir in the capital is not waiting for anyone.

Qin Hanzhen opened his mouth and found that he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only ask, "Are you sure that he did it?"

Zhao Mo sneered: "I don't want to doubt him, but look at him...... Did he seem to be worried about the oath he had made? I was afraid that he had already thought that my mother had broken the oath first, so he didn't have to keep the oath anymore? Anyway, when my mother was dying, she thought it through. She asked her father to swear again and promise to treat me well, and she regretted it. But what's the use? Just look at how my father has treated me over the past two years...... In fact, I don't have a father anymore. Yes, it's just an enemy in the guise of a father!"

Qin Hanzhen was speechless for a long time. She really didn't expect that the death of Zhao Mo's mother would have an even more unbearable truth!

But she still had doubts: "Was it really your father who did it? Could someone else intervene......?" That aunt named Lan Xue? She was also the big girl next to your mother, right?"
