Chapter Seventy-Three: Identity
Xu Yunqing tried it, and then found out that this child who appeared inexplicably in his house was a mute.
That sister-in-law Jiang is already a mother, and at the moment she squatted down lovingly, hugged the child in front of her, who looked no different from her own Shaodong, and lamented: "It must be because his parents dislike him that he can't speak, so they abandoned the child." ”
Xu Yunqing had a guess in his heart as early as the moment he decided that the child was mute.
Mrs. Xu said with some distress: "Even if it is dumb, our Xu family does not dislike it, and it is not more than a matter of one more pair of dishes and chopsticks." ”
The old lady took Xiao'er's hand and said to the child with pity: "In the future, I will call you a godsend, like Shaodong, and raise it in our Xu family's mansion." But I was also a little relieved in my heart, and this child was also destined for the Xu family.
Having said that, the old lady of the Xu family is old, and Shaodong is still young, although she has always been well-behaved, but it is also the time to be naughty.
Since Sister-in-law Jiang disappeared two years ago, her health has become worse and worse, and only caring about Xu Shaodong has consumed most of her energy, and where can she spare time to raise another immature child.
Although there are many slaves and maids in the house, most of them have their own responsibilities, and it is not easy to find a reliable candidate.
Since Xu Yunqing stayed at home, the child pestered him most of the time. He didn't hate it, so he kept this child.
He Mian'er still didn't know about her son's disappearance at the moment. When I returned home that day, I couldn't help but be happy when I saw that my mother had an eye disease and that my mother and daughter were reunited.
My aunt, who hadn't seen her for a few years, was kneeling in her yard for some reason. However, Chen Ziren was stimulated by his cousin, and the whole person came to his senses.
After all, his madness was all caused by He Mian'er's disappearance, as the so-called heart disease must be cured by heart medicine.
He felt guilty that He Mian'er might have suffered misfortune because of himself, and at the same time, he missed his cousin and was incomplete. At this moment, when I saw my cousin standing in front of me, I was more than half cured of my illness.
When Chen Ziren's mother saw it, she smiled, and immediately kept silent about why she came before, and only happily came to He Mian'er's mother and daughter to say something auspicious and nice.
That Chen Ziren came to his senses, knowing that he was crazy before, his appearance was not good, he was unkempt, unkempt, and his clothes were not clean.
At the moment, he slipped back home while He Mian'er was not paying attention, planning to pretend to be a handsome boy in the past, and then come back to see him.
He Qi also returned home after a while, and the father and daughter saw each other, but there were outsiders present.
He Qi didn't want to be laughed at by others, so he only held back his tears and looked at his daughter lovingly. I haven't seen her for many years, and her daughter has transformed from a young and delicate girl to a well-behaved and sensible adult woman.
Looking at what her daughter said, she was full of worries. He Qi still couldn't help but carry everyone behind his back, secretly wiped his tears, knowing that his daughter must have suffered a lot outside, so he changed his temperament.
finally sent away Chen Ziren's mother, and before leaving, He Qi said to his wife's sister: "Mrs. Chen, please keep Mian'er's return secret." ”
Mrs. Chen mistakenly thought that He Qi was worried that her daughter would be robbed and came back, and her face was gloomy, and everyone laughed at her. So he didn't ask much, nodded his head, and was considered to be answered.
Fu said: "I know that I will also tell them to shut up when they come today." ”
When outsiders leave, the family is full of their own family. The maids all left in amusement, and He Qi turned around and looked at his daughter carefully.
"Daddy, it's Mian'er who is not filial." He Mian'er suddenly fell to her knees, planning to tell her father about Shuo Ye's affairs, if she could, she would take the child back tonight, after all, Shuo Ye had never left him for so long since he was born.
If her father disagrees, she can't be as willful as before, and she must think about her children again if she leaves her parents.
He Qi grabbed his daughter with his hand and said, "My daughter is sensible." Get up quickly, or you will grieve your mother." ”
He Mian'er knew that her mother's eyes could no longer cry, so she stood up obediently at the moment.
"Mian'er came back with the four princes this time?" He Qi asked.
As soon as these words came out, He Mian'er was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "What four princes, I came back with that Master Chen." ”
"Master Chen?" He Qi looked at his daughter's face, not as if he was lying, and then understood. The four princes must be afraid of causing trouble, and they are unwilling to tell Mian'er their true identity.
And his own delicate daughter didn't see through that person's concealment. sighed and said, "The Master Chen in Mian'er's mouth should be the fourth prince of my Great Xiao Kingdom-Chen Jingzhi." ”
As soon as these words came out, He Mian'er couldn't help but be surprised. After all, although she had always guessed that there was a big secret about Master Chen, who Asuji said that day, he was only the illegitimate son of a large family in Beijing.
But he never expected that Master Chen's status was so noble, and he was actually the son of the emperor.
He Mian'er only thought about it briefly in her heart, and then she understood why his biological mother, Master Mingzhi, was so hard to guard that remote temple, accompanied by the green lantern ancient Buddha, and ended up regretting.
After all, the most cannibalistic thing in that palace is not spitting out bones, the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards are countless concubines, and after entering the palace, within a few years, I am afraid that the emperor will not even remember what his face looks like.
That Master Chen is obviously a prince, but he rarely hears from him in Beijing. It must be because he is not favored that he went to the academy to teach, which can be regarded as something to do.
"Master Chen, whether it's the fourth prince or not, he is an old-fashioned person, and since he doesn't want to tell me his actual identity, he must have his own troubles." He Mian'er said after a long silence.
"However, an unfavored prince can be safe." She then added.
He Qi heard his daughter's defense of the four princes, and then straightened his face, stared at his daughter carefully, and tried to see what clues from her face.
After a while, he sighed heavily and said, "This time is different from the past." ”
At the moment, he was pacing slowly in the room, telling his daughter what had happened in Beijing in the past two years.
"If it was in previous years, no one would have paid attention to these four princes. His biological mother is unknown, and his background is suspicious. There is no mother's family behind him, and there is no hope of climbing to Dading. ”
He Qi immediately paused, and then said: "But in the two years since he left Beijing, the form of Beijing has changed greatly. The crown prince is dead. ”
As soon as these words came out, He Mian'er looked incredulous, "How come?" ”
After all, the prince is the eldest son of the queen's mother, and he has been cultivated as a prince since he was a child.
Whether it is the harem, the court and the people, everyone praises him. He ascended to the top of the tripe, which can be said to be expected. The crown prince was in the prime of life, how could he die suddenly?
He Mian'er knew that there must be something strange about this matter.
