Chapter 293: Time is Running Out

"I didn't know that this child wasn't my bloodline. Old lady Sheng was silent for a while before he said in a deep voice, "But if you want to talk about how he became the son of my Sheng family, it will take a lot of time: I thought that my eldest son was not angry when he was young, and he didn't know that he had an heir by chance when he was out socializing, and it took many years to find it." ”

Speaking of this, there was no lack of sarcasm in the old lady's tone, "After all, since you even know everything about my eldest daughter-in-law's happiness, you should know that my eldest son became a family after returning to his hometown in the past." In the past 20 years, I have not been worried about his work. He said that he found the heir he got by accident that year, and the eldest daughter-in-law was virtuous, and he also agreed to take the child back to the house to Chenghuan's knees, so naturally I will not stop He'er from recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors!"

Sheng Weiqiao frowned slightly when he heard this, and was worried that the old lady said, "My eldest son became a family after returning to his hometown in the past", would it make Zheng Guogong's anger turn to Sheng Lanci, and listened to his grandfather continue, "If you want to say that my eldest son has always been sensible and considerate, why would he do such a thing to confuse the blood...... But you have to blame me for it!"

Saying that, he looked back at Sheng Weiqiao, who didn't know why, and sighed, "Since you know that I attach the most importance to my eldest son in my life, you should know that my eldest son has everything going well, but there is only one regrettable: the heir is not prosperous! He married the daughter of a big family in the county not long ago, that is, my current eldest daughter-in-law Feng, the two are very affectionate, let alone a concubine, even if there is no one in the room." It's just that I don't know why, obviously the two children are fine, and the body and bones are also strong, and they haven't even had much wind and cold over the years, but the heirs are shallow, and they have been married for more than 20 years, only my granddaughter has a little blood. ”

"My wife died early, and I struggled to leave my eldest son before I was alive, and he had no children under his knees, to be honest, in my opinion, I am more worried than the second son and the third son!"

"So, when I stayed up until a few years ago, I saw that the eldest son in the second room was about to get married, but the eldest son in the second room was still a girl. I couldn't hold it back, and I privately mentioned the matter of taking a concubine with my eldest son!"

But the eldest son loved his wife and daughter, and was unwilling to agree. ”

"I want to come...... That kid was just my repeated requests, so I made this decision, found this crane, pretended to be the son of the outer room, and joined the Sheng family. ”

At this time, without waiting for others to speak, Sheng Sleeping Crane got up and said: "Grandfather, after my grandson was rescued in a shipwreck, because of excessive fear, he lost his memory before the age of five, and he didn't even know his name! At that time, someone claimed to be a servant left by my deceased mother, and took me to live in a separate courtyard, until the year before that, the man led me to see my father, saying that it was my biological father, and because he had no son-in-law, he decided to accept me into the door. ”

"Grandfather knew what happened next. ”

He glanced at the Gaomi Wang and his wife, there was no joy and excitement in his eyes, but some interest, and said lightly, "As for the prince and the princess, the grandson really has no impression, and he doesn't remember that he was exiled from Chang'an to Nanfeng County." Therefore, the grandson thinks that it is the father who deliberately deceived his grandfather, or whether someone took advantage of the occasional scene when the father was out in the past, and even the father deceived the past, and it is not easy to say before the matter is clarified!"

Turning his head as he spoke, he knelt down in front of the old lady Sheng, and there was bitterness in his tone, "If it weren't for the evidence of blood confession, my grandson really couldn't believe that my grandson was not the blood of the Sheng family! Thinking of the nurturing grace over the years, as well as my grandfather's earnest teachings and love, my grandson is unforgettable, but he really deserves it!

“…… I don't blame you for this, you have lost your childhood memories and been deceived by others, what else can you do?" Old lady Sheng looked at him with a complicated expression, the young man's face was beautiful and heroic, and his neat silhouette revealed a masculine aura that came to his face, even if he was kneeling, he was as vigorous as a green pine, tall and like a bamboo.

Such a descendant of Zhilan Yushu, he thought that he was the eldest grandson of the Sheng family's wealth and prosperity, but when he saw it, he felt that the child who was ten years younger was someone else's.

The old lady choked up, "Anyway, you have been in the Sheng family for three years, and you have comforted me a very old man." At this time, since you are still willing to call me 'grandfather', don't kneel, get up! Blame me for being anxious for me, meddling in the affairs of my son and daughter-in-law's house, forcing Lan Ci to be desperate, and in order to live up to his wife, he can only deceive me, the old father, or someone is deliberately plotting against my Sheng family...... Although I am old, I also know that, as Zheng Guogong said, if there is no matter for the prince and princess to come to the door today to confess their relatives, the Sheng family will be handed over to you in the future, and the servants who raised you in the other courtyard in the past, as well as those who know that you are a person who was shipwrecked and rescued at sea, wouldn't they be able to take the handle that you are not my Sheng family's bloodline, blackmail, and even occupy the magpie's nest?!"

"Grandfather!" Sheng Weiqiao felt very uncomfortable, Old Lady Sheng was indeed very concerned about Sheng Lanci's heirs, but he had never said anything about letting Sheng Lanci take a concubine, and this time he said this was nothing more than to take the cause of Sheng Sleeping Crane's entry into the Sheng family on himself.

The girl thought of the deception of the old lady in the past three years, and thought that as long as she kept the secret, she would not hurt the old lady, but who knew that in the blink of an eye, the truth would be exposed naked and naked, and the old lady Sheng would not even have time to be sad about the deception of her most beloved son and "grandson", so she had to consider the fate of offending the Meng family!

She couldn't help but burst into tears and said, "It's all my fault." ”

Sheng Weiqiao said this at this moment because if it weren't for her future, why would Sheng Lanci and his wife do something to confuse the bloodline?

But in everyone's ears, it was the girl who hurt herself, not the boy, which made her grandfather worry that the big house had no children, forcing Sheng Lanci and his wife to pretend to be Sheng Sleeping Crane as the blood of the Sheng family, which caused this turmoil.

For a while, Nan's and Old Marquis Xu's eyes were a little compassionate, and they spoke comfortingly: "Qiao'er, it's none of your business, don't think about it." ”

"Grandfather didn't dislike you as a girl. Old lady Sheng also sighed, and looked back at it reassuringly, "It's just that the world is like this, you always have to have a brother to support, and in the future, when we elders close our eyes, we can feel at ease!"

Zheng Guogong looked at this scene coldly and didn't say anything.

This is naturally not because he doesn't plan to pursue it, but because he was really caught off guard today: I thought he was invited to support the Xu family, and by the way, the Xu family and Sheng Shenghe and Xu Baomo, the two new science and technology scholars, were officially drawn into their own camp.

Who knows, but it has made a witness to the reunion of the Gaomi royal couple with the long-lost third son!

Although Zheng Guogong had some understanding of the situation of the Nanfeng Sheng family out of the idea of encircling Sheng Sleeping Crane before, as the leader of the Meng Clan, although Sheng Sleeping Crane had only learned people, he was not qualified to let him take care of it personally. Therefore, his understanding is just a general look, and the purpose is nothing more than to occasionally meet the sleeping crane, and stop and encourage a few words when he is in a good mood, so that the young Jinshi can feel Meng's attention and expectations for him, so that he is more and more motivated to die for Meng's dedication......

To put it bluntly, it was for the sake of manipulating people, and I glanced at it casually.

At this time, although he was very suspicious of the Sheng family, the Xu family, and the Gaomi Palace, he didn't do his homework when he came, and he didn't know anything about the ins and outs of the matter at this time.

Worried that he would say the wrong thing because of this, he would be caught by King Gaomi, and Zheng Guogong could only endure it for the time being!

Anyway, no matter how King Gaomi clears up the law, the fact that Zhao Xuan, the chief examiner of this department, and Sheng Shenghe are nephews and uncles, is not afraid that when he settles accounts in the future, he will not be able to get this city back!

The top priority is to immediately order someone to go to Nanfeng County after returning to find out!

Oh, the premise is that the little prince who was rumored to have died in the strangulation of his nurse is no longer alive.

Otherwise, not to mention that the third son of the Gaomi Mansion came back from the dead, that is, Concubine Mo and the others who died in the "epidemic" before the Gaomi Palace, all survived, and the most important thing for the Meng family was to find out the little prince first.

However, despite making such a decision in his heart, Zheng Guogong does not plan to leave for the time being.

After all, although Sheng Sleeping Crane is confirmed to be the blood and blood of the Gaomi King and his wife, whether to go back to the palace with the Gaomi King and his wife, and when to go with the Gaomi King and his wife, this problem has not been solved!

The Meng family inexplicably suffered such a big loss this time, and almost cultivated the political enemy's own flesh and blood as the future pillars, even if due to insufficient preparation in advance, he couldn't help King Gaomi and others for the time being, Zheng Guogong had to watch the excitement anyway!

At this moment, he stroked his long beard and said: "Now that the general course of the matter has been explained, is the matter mentioned by Old Marquis Xu also discussed? That is, the sleeping crane was cultivated by the Sheng family, but the bloodline belongs to the Gaomi Palace. Although the princess has been immersed in the pain of losing her son for fifteen years, so that Huafa was born early, which is embarrassing, but the so-called birth grace has not raised grace, and the Sheng family has no heirs so far. Now the sleeping crane is going to stay...... You'll have to take a closer look!"

"Plop!"

Who knew that Zheng Guogong's voice had just fallen, Princess Gaomi had already gotten up, knelt directly in front of the old lady Sheng, and without saying a word, it was "bang bang bang" three rings, and the forehead was bruised, only then did he raise his head and said in a deep voice: "The Sheng family's great kindness to my son, Zhao Ziye swears here, in this life, I will never forget it! From today and now, but there is a sending, I, Zhao Ziye, will be broken and will repay your family!"

At the end, tears flowed down his face, "This old lady, please let him come back to me for the sake of me thinking that this child is going crazy!"

When she spoke, she didn't know if her body was too weak or her emotions were too intense, she suddenly coughed violently, and King Gaomi, who was frowning because she suddenly knelt down and swore to frown, saw that his face changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said in a low voice: "You calm down! Have you forgotten what the imperial doctor said? You can't be happy and sad at this time...... Finally, the child was recovered, but you don't want to see him for a few more years?"

"How many years will I have?" However, Princess Gaomi didn't appreciate it, pushed it away with all her might, and glanced at him contemptuously, before turning to Old Lady Sheng and saying with tears in her eyes, "Fifteen years ago, when I found out that the child had an accident, I was overly sad, not only did I lose my head overnight, but I also lost my vitality. Later, when the child was recorded on the jade plate as having died, I had almost gone. The reason why I have survived until now, in the final analysis, is only because I have never found evidence of his death, and there is a trace of hidden expectation in my heart...... But after fifteen years, I am now exhausted and I can't live long!"

"If the old lady doesn't believe it, I can call the imperial doctor who usually diagnoses me and ask about it. And I am the daughter of the Zhao family, although I have been out of the cabinet for many years, I have not forgotten the teachings of my father and brother, and I will never dare to tell such a lie to my benefactor!"

The princess sobbed, "Let this child go back with me, and teach me to make up for him in the last days." After I go, if he is willing, if the Sheng family is also willing, he will still be the eldest son of the Sheng family, okay?"

Zheng Guogong frowned, looking at Princess Gaomi with some surprise and regret, obviously he didn't expect that the woman who was so famous and peerless back then was not half a hundred, and her time was running out.

Speaking of Princess Gaomi's maiden mother, Mrs. Qin, she still doesn't say anything in the hall, but she can be called old and strong......

"Could it be that the Gaomi royal couple openly came to the Ningwei Marquis Mansion today to recognize their son, is it really out of blood and family affection?" Zheng Guogong has been immersed in power and scheming for a long time, and he likes to think about everything, and he is also a little suspicious at the moment, "Of course, King Gaomi is not so impulsive, but now it seems that it is Princess Gaomi who is impulsive...... King Gaomi, eighty percent can't resist him, the princess, so he has to come, right?"

However, what happened to the original Gaomi Palace, which caused Sheng Sleeping Crane to be left behind, not to mention, Princess Gaomi, who gave birth to three sons and two daughters, why was she so obsessed with this child, to the point of ignoring the overall situation?

When Zheng Guogong's thoughts were churning, Sheng Weiqiao turned his head and looked at Sheng Sleeping Crane with worried eyes.

After all, although I know that this person doesn't seem to have much admiration for his biological parents, but still has a secret grudge, but how can Princess Gaomi also be the person who was conceived in October and gave birth to Sheng Sleeping Crane...... How can a son not be struck a blow?

It's just that......

There really isn't a sleeping crane.

He was close to Sheng Weiqiao, his eyes and face were calm like a windless lake, so calm.

This is not a forced calmness, Sheng Weiqiao stared at him in astonishment, this person really has no fluctuation about the fact that Princess Gaomi will not live long.

Or rather, don't care.

Sheng Weiqiao shuddered slightly: What's going on?

Is it the sleeping crane who is so cold-hearted, or is it ...... Gaomi Wang Fangcai's explanation is simply nonsense, and the truth is actually disheartening.

is enough to cut off the disheartenness of blood and family.

The girl frowned.
