It is not unusual to have an extra child in the palace, what is strange is that this child is the nephew of Princess Ming, but the Han family has never heard of such an heir before.

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. When Lu Xiu went to attend the birthday banquet of the Ling family of Xu Wujia, Yuan Ying's wife Xiao specially asked her about it: "Do you say that this child is the young master of your mansion?

Lu Xiu said with a smile: "It's just a rumor, our Han family has no heirs left behind. "At the beginning, Hua Ge'er was also exiled, but Hua Ge'er's identity was not disputed, so no one was concerned about this matter.

Xiao Shi said with a surprised face: "Can't it, right? I heard that this child looks very similar to the princess, and it is also the identity that the princess herself admitted." ”

After speaking, Xiao also specially asked Cui Mo's daughter-in-law Tong: "Mrs. Cui, your family Weiqi must have seen this child in the palace." Does that child look like a princess?"

Tong's will not be a target: "It's just that people outside are the same, and Mrs. Xiao really believes it?"

Xiao's face was swept away, and his face was a little unbearable, but although Cui Mo's official position was not as high as his husband's, he was the prince's confidant, and she couldn't help the other party. Xiao Shi smiled and said, "I don't think it's groundless. "I just don't know if this kid is Han Jianming's or Han Jianye's.

In order to please the Xiao family, the wife of the military department Langzhong also said with a smile: "I remember that the fourth young master of your mansion was also directly entered the palace as a companion for the prince. "One more now, it's nothing.

Tong Shi saw that Lu Xiu's face was not very good-looking, and said with a smile: "What are you doing with these things without oil and salt? Don't regret missing such a wonderful scene." ”

Lu Xiu stood up and walked to Ling Ruoyun's side and said, "Mrs. Xu, I'm a little unwell, so I'll take a step first." ”

Ling Ruoyun probably guessed something without asking, but his face didn't show half a point, but he just asked with a concerned face: "I asked someone to ask a doctor to show you." ”

Lu Xiu shook his head and said, "No need, this is an old problem, there is a ready-made medicine at home, just go back and take two." ”

After leaving the Xu Mansion and getting into the carriage, Ah Lan said softly: "Madam, don't pay attention to these people. They are just full of food and have nothing to do. ”

Lu Xiu leaned on the half-used lake-blue pillow and said with a smile: "I don't care, I just hide quietly." She planted someone next to Han Jianye, knowing that there were no heirs left behind.

Ah Lan looked at Lu Xiu's relaxed expression, and knew that if this child was really from the Han family, it could only be the eldest master's. Thinking of this, Ah Lan hesitated a little and said, "Madam, if this child is really a big man, there is no reason to leave it outside and not take him back to the house." "The eldest master is not a person who is afraid of his wife, and it is impossible for him to be left out if he has children.

Lu Xiuke is not interested in caring about Han Jianming's private life: "Who knows this!" As long as it is not her husband's illegitimate child, it has nothing to do with her.

After lunch, Lu Xiu was ready to rest. As soon as I took off my coat, I heard Chun's mother say that Qiqi was back.

Lu Xiu was very surprised, hurriedly put on his coat and walked out. Seeing Qiqi, Lu Xiu complained: "You haven't been around for three months, how can you walk around." If there's anything urgent, you send someone to tell me, and I'll go see you. If there is an accident, you will regret it at that time. "At the beginning of the month, Qiqi was diagnosed as pregnant, and it has been more than a month.

Chang's family was worried that Qiqi was not very good to give birth to like Ye's family. Now that she is pregnant after only a few months of marriage, Chang is completely relieved.

Qiqi also rushed over when he heard the news, and he was ashamed when he heard Lu Xiu's words.

A bad thought appeared in Lu Xiu's heart: "You come out, does your mother-in-law know?" But don't run out despite Chang's opposition.

Qiqi shook his head and said, "My mother-in-law went to my sister-in-law's house and hasn't come back yet." "Chang's daughter Lianwu was sick a few days ago, and Chang's went to see her daughter. If it weren't for that, she would have attended the Ling family's birthday banquet today.

Lu Xiu said helplessly: "They are all married, and they are not sensible at all." Let your mother-in-law know that you are walking around with a baby in your arms, and you will definitely be upset. "Compare her heart to her heart, if Liu is not three months pregnant and returns to her parents' house, she will definitely be unhappy.

Chang's is a very good mother-in-law, Qiqi didn't say that she didn't set rules when she got married, but she didn't say a word about it, and that's the same, Lu Xiucai didn't think about it so much.

Qiqi was also in too much of a hurry, so he didn't care about it: "Auntie, I have something I want to ask you." After speaking, he also glanced at the maid in the house.

Lu Xiu waved her hand to let the maid withdraw, and then asked, "What is the urgency? ”

Qiqi was a little excited, and a little apprehensive: "I heard that there is a child in the palace who looks very similar to my aunt? Auntie, is this true?"

Lu Xiu was a little puzzled, and asked, "Even if this matter is true, it has nothing to do with you?"

Qiqi asked in a mosquito-like voice, "Auntie, do you think he will be my younger brother?" Ye's last words before his death kept pressing on Qiqi's heart.

Lu Xiu was suddenly surprised, and ran over to ask regardless of his body, so that's the case. Lu Xiu immediately denied it without thinking about it, and said, "No." ”

Qiqi was a little anxious, grabbed Lu Xiu's sleeve and asked, "I asked Xianggong, and he said that the child named Ashin does look like his aunt." Auntie, he must be my brother. ”

Lu Xiu held Qiqi's hand and said, "Auntie didn't lie to you, that child can't be your brother's." Seeing that Qiqi didn't believe it, Lu Xiu said: "The age is not right." Your brother was born in the same year as Shiziye, and he should be twelve years old this year, and this child named Ashin is only seven years old this year. That's what she didn't think about.

Qiqi lowered his eyes, and said after half a ring: "Auntie, I heard that my brother was born prematurely, and premature babies are generally not in good health, so could it be that he looks thinner and smaller, and my aunt deliberately said that his age was younger in order to hide people's eyes?"

Lu Xiu said helplessly: "There is a difference of five years between the twelve and seven years old, but it is not something that can be concealed by being thin." In order not to let Qiqi think nonsense, Lu Xiu continued: "Your younger brother is a filial son, and he can't see the light. Qiqi, think about it calmly, as your younger brother, do you think the princess will take him to the palace to be raised?"

The brilliance in Qiqi's eyes slowly faded. After half a ring, he said: "Auntie, I didn't expect to let my brother recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, I just wanted to take him to A-Niang's grave and kowtow." "This is what Ye asked her to do before she died, she had to do.

In order not to make Qiqi stupid, Lu Xiu said: "Qiqi, have you ever thought about it, what if you let him know his identity, he wants to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors?"

Seeing Qiqi lower his head, Lu Xiu sighed and said, "It's better not to let him know his identity." In this way, it is good for everyone. ”

Qiqi clasped his hands and said with a painful face: "But I promised my mother that I must take my younger brother to the grave." ”

At that time, Ye's family was sick to death, and she couldn't say anything about her excessive demands, and if Qiqi didn't mention it later, she wouldn't take the initiative to mention it. But now it seems that there are some things that cannot be left unsaid.

Lu Xiu said bluntly: "Qiqi, once the matter of filial piety breaks out, your father's career is likely to be interrupted, and even the princess is likely to be affected." At that time, the eldest lord hates you and the princess blames you, what are you going to do?" In fact, even if the matter of filial piety broke out, it had nothing to do with Yuxi, at most it was only criticized for two sentences. Lu Xiu deliberately said it seriously, to dispel Qiqi's idea of looking for that child.

Qiqi's face changed slightly. She is now living so well in her husband's family, in addition to her mother-in-law Chang's good temperament, the most important thing is that she has a reliable mother's family and a high-ranking aunt. If she was rejected by her father and aunt, she couldn't imagine what she would be in.

She said everything that should be said, and Lu Xiu said: "Think about it yourself!"

Qiqi's tears fell from her eyes: "Auntie, what do you say I should do?"

Lu Xiu originally wanted to say no more, but when she saw Qiqi's appearance, her heart softened: "The most important thing for you now is to take care of the fetus, don't think about anything else." "No matter how much, it's inconvenient for her to say. No matter how wrong the Ye family is, it is also Qiqi's mother-in-law, how can anyone want to listen to others say that their mother-in-law is not.

When Qiqi calmed down, he went back.

Lu Xiu rubbed her temples and said, "Sister-in-law is really ......" In this case, how can you let that child know her identity and force Qiqi to find it, which is equivalent to forcing Qiqi to go against the eldest master. She cheated her husband a lot, and she had to pit her daughter before she died.

Seeing this, Chun's mother couldn't help but ask, "Madam, what's the matter?"

Qiqi thought that the child in the palace was her own brother. The child's mother knew about it, so Lu Xiu didn't shy away from it.

Chun's mother didn't know what to say: "Why does Grandma think like this?" The age difference between the two is so big, it's impossible.

Lu Xiu let out a sigh and said, "That kid is also difficult to do." Before she died, Ye forced Qiqi to swear that she must find the child.

To Lu Xiu said, Ye is also a talent. The mother-in-law is easy to talk to, and her husband is not a spoiled concubine and destroys his wife, she can still toss herself to that point.

Chun's mother said: "Madame should leave this matter alone." "This kind of thing, there is no benefit in managing it, but if you are not careful, you will be left complaining.

"I also feel sorry for that child. "It's also Qiqi who is well-behaved and obedient, otherwise she wouldn't care.

Yuxi also knew about the rumors of Ashin's identity, but she didn't take it to heart. The best way to deal with the rumor is to ignore it, treat it coldly, and wait for the novelty of everyone to pass away.

Yunqing's opinion is different from Yuxi's: "We can't hide this, we have to tell Ashin." After a pause, Yun Qing said: "Ashin doesn't know the identity of his uncle, and he has been raised in the house all these years. When he heard this rumor, he would definitely believe it. "His father and mother are in Liaodong, and he grew up in the capital with his grandfather since he was a child. For this reason, he was said to be a wild child who was fatherless and motherless, and he was very angry at the time and beat the other party to the point of bleeding. Thinking that his parents were both angry when they were told that, and Ashin didn't know his background yet, he would be even more sad to hear this rumor.

Yuxi was a little ashamed and said, "Uncle handed over Ashin to me, but I neglected to take care of it. If Yunqing didn't remind her, she really ignored the impact of this on Ashin.

Yunqing didn't blame Yuxi: "It's also too many things, so you don't have time to take care of it." ”

Negligence is negligence, Yuxi didn't make excuses for himself: "Fortunately, you reminded me in time, and I'll tell Ashin about it later." "This kind of thing must be channeled in time, otherwise it is very detrimental to the growth of children.

After washing up the next day, Yuxi instructed Meilan: "Go and talk to Brother You'er, and let him bring Ashin over for breakfast." "Ashin, like Brother Hua, is reluctant to come to the main courtyard for breakfast. I also want to know that Yuxi's family of eight dined happily, and it was awkward for him to be mixed in with an outsider.

After breakfast, Yuxi took Ashin into the study and told him the rumors outside.

After hearing this rumor, Ashin's hands kept shaking. All these years he was locked up in the house and could not go out, and no one knew how lonely he was. And during this time in the palace, Brother You took a lot of care of him, and Qi Hao and Zao Zao also treated him as a younger brother, and he lived happily every day. He was afraid, he was afraid that Yuxi would dislike him because of this rumor and drive him out of the palace.

"Ashin, if my aunt tells you that the rumors outside are all false, do you believe it?" Fortunately, Yunqing reminded him, otherwise he wouldn't know how sad the child would be when he heard the rumors outside.

Ashin clenched his fists and said, "I believe it." ”

Yuxi weighed it in his heart and said, "Ashin, you are your father's only son-in-law. ”

Hearing this, Ashin was stunned: "I'm my father's only son-in-law?"

Although he has not had any contact with the outside world, the mother-in-law around him will tell him about the outside world. As for Mr., naturally he is a teaching question, and the more he knows, the more he thinks.

Ever since he was sensible, Ashin has thought about his identity. He also felt that he was probably an outer room, and an outer room that was not tolerated by the main room, otherwise why would his father hide him.

Yuxi hummed and said, "Your father's environment is very dangerous, and one careless person will lead to death." He hid you to protect you. Ashin, your father is also forced to do so, don't blame him, okay?"

It's too late for Ah Xin to hurt, so how can it be blamed. He regrets now that he didn't talk to his dad much.

After a pause, Ashin said, "Auntie, can you let my father come back, don't let him stay in that dangerous place anymore." "He didn't want to be an orphan without a father or mother.

Yuxi smiled bitterly: "My aunt can't do anything about this." Seeing the tears in Ashin's eyes, Yuxi's heart softened and said, "Five years at most, my aunt will definitely reunite you with your father within five years." ”

Ashin nodded and said, "Auntie, I know." ”
