Chapter 729: Not a Parent
In the afternoon, Wen Ningxuan asked Lin He to rest at home, don't worry too much, and he and Wen Ningmo went to the Wen Mansion to see if there were any clues.
After Wen Ningxuan left, Lin He was also restless at home, and she intuitively felt that this time the old lady should have done it, because the 500,000 taels that the old lady asked for was almost the approximate number of the shops that Master Wen had divided. Although the Wen family has said that it has made money over the years, it has also had a lot of expenses, and it has taken a lot of things away when the family was separated, so that's all.
But Lin He still can't figure it out, why the old lady wants to do this, the five are her sons, she wants to be partial to the second master to earn some family property, this Lin He can still think through, because there are many parents who favor their children, the old lady didn't want to split up before, this Lin He has already seen it.
And Lin He has lived in the Wen family for so long, and she has also seen some things, the old lady is a very cunning person, in fact, in her heart, her most distressed son should be the second and third children, but what she showed on the surface was extremely Wen Lao, and deliberately said that Wen Ningchen was the eldest grandson, so she was very fond of Wen Ningchen.
But in fact, with a person like the old lady, if she really values Wen Ningchen, she will never spoil him like this, she is different from the average old lady, if the average old man really loves that grandson, he may be spoiled like a baby, but the old lady is a powerful character, if she really loves that person, she must be more strict with that person, and hope that he will become a talent.
Moreover, at the beginning, Lin He could be regarded as seeing some of the thoughts of the old lady at that time in the matter of Wen Ningchen and Ning Nuo. But Lin He's idea must have been because of Mrs. Wen's matter in the end. If the old lady really wanted to cultivate Wen Ningchen, she would never treat Mrs. Wen like that, and insisted on taking a leave of absence from Mrs. Wen. Like ordinary small families, when they divorce their wives, they will take into account the reputation of their children, and large families should pay more attention to these, but the old lady was in a posture of not giving up on Mrs. Wen at that time.
But Wen Ningchen is indeed the eldest grandson of the old lady, what is the old lady doing this for, if it is just said that it is eccentric, it is too much.
Lin He sat on the hanging chair in the courtyard and pondered for a long time. Without thinking of what it was for, Lin He shook his head, intending to get up and walk around. Suddenly, he saw Uncle Yi, the housekeeper who had rarely spoken, standing in front of him.
He looked at Lin He and asked directly: "Young grandmother, can't you figure out why the old lady is like this?" If I tell you that the old lady is not the old lady's biological son, this is an easy thing to figure out. ”
Lin He listened to Uncle Yi's words. Although I felt a little surprised. But he believed it, because Lin He also flashed such thoughts in his mind, but because he had never heard of this matter, Master Wen and the old lady had always gotten along with each other like mother and son, and naturally Lin He didn't suspect that matter, listening to Uncle Yi say this, thinking that he should know the truth, she asked Uncle Yi to tell the matter.
Uncle Yi used to be the Wen family's old housekeeper. Naturally, he knows a lot of things, and he said that Master Wen is the child of the old lady. But it's not the old lady's, when the old lady married the old lady, he was still an official in the court at that time, and for a while the imperial court was more strict with officials, stipulating that officials can take concubines, but there are restrictions on concubines, and many people with low status cannot be admitted to the door, and officials are not allowed to raise concubines outside except for concubines, and once they are discovered, they will be heavily punished.
But at that time, the old lady raised the concubine outside was already pregnant, and the old lady was also affectionate to the concubine outside, he naturally would not ignore his bloodline, it happened that the old lady was also pregnant at that time, and the old lady thought of a way, saying that it was to wait for the child to be born and bring the child back to the old lady to raise together, just say that it was a twin, so his bloodline would not fall outside.
The old lady naturally disagreed at that time, she was already very dissatisfied with the old lady raising women outside, and now the old lady still wants to bring the child back to give her the same name as her child, she can't accept it.
But the world is impermanent, the day after the little concubine outside the old lady gave birth to a child, the old lady also gave birth to a baby boy, but the baby boy was born to die, at that time in addition to the old lady, there were several concubines who were pregnant, if the old lady's child was not saved, then the eldest son would definitely not be her son in the future, and the official position of the imperial court at that time stipulated that only the eldest son could inherit the official position.
If this continues, Master Wen will definitely pass on other concubines to her name, then it is conceivable that if other concubines inherit the official position in the future, she will not have a good life, she thought for a while, and agreed that the old lady brought the child back, and that child was Uncle Wen.
It can be said that no one knew about this matter at that time except for the old lady and the old lady, because Uncle Yi was the housekeeper of the Wen family at that time, and he often followed the old lady's side, so he inadvertently knew about these things.
Not long after this incident, the old lady was afraid that someone would leak the news, in addition to sending someone to send the little concubine away, but also basically solved the people who knew at the time, but because Uncle Yi was the person next to the old lady, she didn't dare to move, so Uncle Yi survived by luck, but soon Uncle Yi found an opportunity to secretly resign from the old lady, although the old lady didn't say it on his face, but he also knew his wife's means, he thought of a way to hide the old lady and said that Uncle Yi was arranged to go to other remote places, In fact, Uncle Yi was arranged in this house.
After Uncle Yi said these things, he sighed and said: "The old lady has still restrained a lot over the years, at least she hasn't done anything big in the Wen family, but this time she did eighty percent of the things, you and the young master discussed, if you really can't find any other way to save the master, don't delay, give the money earlier, the old lady will only be more dangerous in her hands for one more day, the old lady is not a kind-hearted person, she will do everything she wants to do." ”
After Uncle Yi finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed, and went down, leaving Lin He and Ziyu looking at each other dumbfounded in the courtyard, Lin He knew that the old lady was not a simple person, but he never thought that he would be such a ruthless master, if this is the case, then Master Wen must be rescued quickly, otherwise it is really as Uncle Yi said, one more day will be more dangerous.
Thinking about it, Lin He pushed Ziyu, who was still on the side and didn't come back to her senses, and sent her to call someone to the Wen family to inform the young master that if she was free, she would come back for a trip, it was better to let him know about this matter earlier, and this matter really couldn't be delayed.
Wen Ningxuan came back and knew this, but he was really taken aback, over the years, no one in the Wen family has ever said these things, I am afraid that even Master Wen himself does not know that he is not the biological son of the old lady, otherwise over the years, Master Wen will definitely be wary of the old lady.
After knowing these things, although it can be explained that the old lady has the motive to kidnap Master Wen, or it is generally certain that it is the old lady who kidnapped Master Wen, there is no definite evidence, and I don't know where the old lady will tie people up, and now that they know that the old lady is such a vicious person, the two of them are even more worried.
