Sheng Weirao (middle)
Sheng Weirao's rebellious son is, of course, her child.
said that it was an adopted son, and said that it was Sheng Weirao, who had been observing the festival for her fiancé for many years, because the brothers were gradually able to take on family affairs, so they adopted a "coincidental" son who looked a little like himself, set up his own door, and separated from the Sheng family.
This move made her originally mixed reputation suddenly develop in a good direction.
Even the archway of chastity is undisputed: if Sheng Weirao has been controlling the Nanfeng Sheng family, not only outsiders will criticize, the key is that the family, especially the younger brothers and nephews who are growing up, are not so tolerant and generous as the eldest brother Sheng Weide.
However, her departure so briskly is tantamount to turning the original image of being ambitious and taking advantage of the void into a responsible and knowledgeable person who stands up in times of crisis and gets through difficulties.
Even the Sheng family made an exception to put her adopted son on the family tree, and followed the order of male heirs of the Sheng family's generation, called Sheng Ningchang.
Sheng Weirao and Sheng Ningchang maintained the posture of mother and son filial piety in front of everyone, including most of the Sheng family.
However, only Qingzhi and other close attendants know that the relationship between the mother and son is actually not good.
What kind of life Sheng Ningchang lived before he was adopted by Sheng Weirao, inside and out, is not very clear.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that it will not be a good day.
Because after he became a child of the Sheng family, when he first appeared, even if he was dressed in silk and satin, he couldn't hide his cramped and rough fingers.
After the past two years of pampering, I have gradually gained a bit of the bearing of a rich son, but I am also a little infected with the habit of eating, drinking and having fun.
Sheng Weirao looked down on him very much, and told him more than once that it was not a family that did not enter the door, Sheng Ningchang's temperament was the appearance of his own father Sheng Lansi. I must not trust him in this situation, otherwise I will be killed by him sooner or later!
She actually did the same: although Sheng Ningchang was about to become a grandfather this year, Sheng Weirao had no intention of delegating power.
Not only did he not delegate power, but he even calculated the monthly money, and he didn't allow Sheng Ningchang to spend it indiscriminately.
At first, Sheng Ningchang dared to make trouble, or took something out to pawn by himself.
However, after Sheng Weirao knew, she sneered, ordered someone to take the county lord's clothes and put them on, and personally went to Feng's house, Xuanyu's house, Sheng's house and the yamen to visit, and then Sheng Ningchang took things out to sell, not only did the pawnbroker not accept them, but also detained people and things on the spot, and asked someone to notify Sheng Weirao.
After Sheng Weirao arrived, she was not verbose, and directly sent people and things to the yamen to beat drums and voice grievances!
I want the yamen to govern Sheng Ningchang for disrespecting his adoptive mother and selling his property without permission!
At that time, Sheng Ningchang was beaten to death in the yamen, and after coming out, he behaved for a while, and then probably forgot the pain after the scar was healed, so he soon relapsed from the old disease, and once again quarreled with Sheng Weirao because of expenses.
This time, he made too much trouble, and even claimed that he was not Sheng Weirao's adopted son, but his own son! Otherwise, how could the mother and son have similar eyebrows, and Sheng Weirao's so-called observance of the festival for many years, no one else accepted it, but accepted himself as a righteous son!?
Sheng Weirao, as the mother of the biological body, threw herself on the remote Zhuangzi, and suffered from the bullying of the head of the village for many years, because she has been lonely under her knees, and she is worried that there will be no one to take care of her when she is old, so she will find herself by her side, what's wrong with spending some money on her own?
Such an irresponsible mother-in-law owes him too much!
Just a little money is not enough to make up for it!
As a result, when Sheng Weirao heard the news, not only was he not weak at all, but he also dragged him to go to the yamen to confess his relatives on the spot to see if the two were biological mothers and sons!
At the same time, the dignitaries of the Sheng family, the Xuan Yu family and the Feng family all stood up one after another, and they all reprimanded Sheng Ningchang for talking nonsense and slandering Sheng Weirao's innocent reputation!
The Sheng family also said that if Sheng Ningchang continued to mess around like this, they would persuade Sheng Weirao to dissolve the mother-son relationship with this adopted son and drive him out of the house!
…… In the end, Sheng Ningchang knelt outside the gate for three days and three nights, confessing that he was confused for a while, and heard the nurse around him joke that he looked similar to Sheng Weirao, maybe he was actually his own mother and son, but Sheng Weirao's unmarried child was not good, so he was fostered outside.
The nurse was naturally beaten to death with a stick, and in front of Sheng Ningchang.
From then on, Sheng Ningchang knew that he couldn't get this mother at all, so he really became honest.
But he is honest, that is, he does not easily disobey Sheng Weirao, and he has never been less than things like flowers and grass.
Sheng Weirao looked at this coldly, the disgust in her eyes became more and more profound, and she even moved the idea of passing on the family property to her nephews instead of this son.
Most of the Sheng family did not object to this situation, after all, when Sheng Weirao was separated from the Sheng family and lived alone, she was not empty-handed: she just didn't want to, with the credit of keeping the Sheng family's property back then, the Sheng family was embarrassed to let her come out empty-handed, right?
What's more, Sheng Weirao had lived in Chang'an with the Queen Mother for a period of time earlier, and her family affairs were also settled in Chang'an.
At that time, the old lady of the Sheng family and Mrs. Ming personally finalized the makeup for her, which was very rich, although it could not be compared with the Empress Dowager Sheng, for ordinary people, it was more than ordinary people imagined.
Such a sum of extra money may not be a big deal for the Duke and Mrs. Kui, but for the declining Sheng family, they will be tempted.
What's more, it's not them who calculate Sheng Weirao, who told Sheng Ningchang not to be angry, so that his mother thought that he couldn't count on it?
The only one who opposes it is Sheng Weide.
He knew the inside story, and he knew that what Sheng Ningchang said when he was in trouble before was actually right: Sheng Ningchang was Sheng Weirao's biological son.
At that time, Sheng Weirao deliberately became pregnant because of various reasons, and her mother Bai had just passed away at that time, according to the meaning of her aunt Mrs. Kui Guo, she had a quiet abortion, and nothing happened to her.
However, the county lord of Fuchang at that time was still young and vigorous, and he didn't dare to count on marriage after such a thing happened, so he resolutely wanted to keep the child, and then once the marriage was not smooth in the future, he could still have a biological flesh and blood, and he could rely on his feelings and old age.
At her insistence, the child was finally born, arranged by Kui Guogong and his wife, and given to someone in the countryside Zhuangzi to raise.
Originally, everything was fine, but when the Empress Dowager Sheng was still the princess of Mizhen County, Sheng Lanling, the youngest daughter of the Sheng family who was driven out by the old lady Sheng, did something to take revenge, and even slandered the name of the Empress Dowager Sheng in front of the Empress Dowager Sheng's mother-in-law and the then Princess Gaomi!
This incident caused the anger of Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Kui Guogong, although Sheng Lanling did not end well, and the second and third rooms of the Sheng family, which were also born by Mrs. Ming, were also greatly affected.
So the husband and wife of Kui Guogong moved Sheng Ningchang to the deep mountains and old forests to raise him, so as not to be exposed and implicate the Empress Dowager Shangsheng.
After staying away from the Sheng family, although Sheng Ningchang's existence was concealed, he was also supported by others
