[Chapter 4, Volume 4]

Section 403

"Nephew?" Wei Changying was stunned, stood up at once, and said, "That Di Ren boy is actually our nephew?!" Did he save me because of this? ”

Shen Zangfeng no longer concealed his shock and suspicion in front of his wife, and said in a more hurried tone than usual: "He said so himself, judging by his age, Chenguang who stayed in Xiliang with his eldest brother can also match." It's just that he doesn't look like his eldest brother at all, and I asked him if he had any tokens left by his eldest brother back then, but he deduced that it was either for his mother's funeral or burned! Now I'm not entirely sure - to be honest, I never thought that my big brother would have blood and bones flowing out! ”

Although there are many children in a wealthy family, it is impossible for everyone to receive equal attention. But there are only three male heirs in Ming Peitang's grandchildren so far. The eldest, Shen Shuming, is a few years younger than Mo Ye, and there are two ignorant children - in such a situation, the heirs, especially the male heirs, are very valued.

Wei Changying still remembered that Shen Zangli especially loved and even doted on Shen Shuming, even Shen Shuming didn't care about his studies, Shen Xuan taught his grandson, and Shen Zangli had to protect him. According to her observation, Shen Zangli's love for her children even surpassed that of Liu's mother, and Dafang was very kind and strict with her mother.

Although Mo Ye is not a concubine, even if he is a concubine...... It is said that Shen Zangli loves his children so much, and he always has a little compassion and pity for his children! How could it be...... It's okay if I don't know, I don't even know my husband......

Wei Changying hurriedly asked, "Does the eldest brother know about him?" ”

Mo Ye said that the eldest brother knew about his birth, and there was a letter to reply to his mother. Of course, it was the one he burned. Shen Zangfeng sighed and said, "But he offered to ask me to write a letter to check with my eldest brother, and he seemed to have no fear." ”

"This is strange, the biological father's things, even if they resent the biological father, why should they be completely destroyed?" Wei Changying asked puzzledly, "He hates his eldest brother to this extent?" ”

Shen Zangfeng shook his head and said, "It's not necessarily that I hate my eldest brother, I'm afraid it's still a last resort." ”

"Huh?"

"Moye was born when the eldest brother was still married." Shen Zangfeng sighed, "Listening to his tone, his mother was originally quite a status among the Di people, but because she was not married and had children, she seemed to have been expelled from the house by her father and brother, and she suffered a lot of grievances with him. Regardless of whether the eldest brother is powerless or really discarded them, this matter is spread out, and it is not good for the reputation of the eldest brother. Especially the eldest brother has been married to his sister-in-law for many years, and there are Jing'er and Ming'er under his knees, and suddenly an illegitimate child appeared, even if the sister-in-law is virtuous and doesn't make noise about it, but she will definitely feel uncomfortable in her heart. The sister-in-law felt uncomfortable, and the eldest brother was ashamed of both Moye and the sister-in-law, and the dilemma was naturally unbearable. ”

Wei Changying was surprised: "I thought that if you sent someone back, you would tell him to ask the eldest brother quietly, and he would be silent first." ”

"It's not that it's quiet, I mean that there is a good chance that there will be something that can prove the identity of the eldest brother among the things that Moye has destroyed." Shen Zangfeng muttered, "Especially when the eldest brother later learned that Mo Ye was born and wrote a reply to his mother. I think the Di people should not know the identity of Mo Ye is the son of the eldest brother, otherwise they would have taken Mo Ye a long time ago and used him as a hostage to deal with my Shen family. ”

Although it shows that Peitang most of them will not care about the life or death of an illegitimate child, even if it is the life or death of the lord's own grandson, the Di people will also not regard the descendants of the Shen family as any treasure...... It's not distressing to die, and it can ruin Shen Zangli's reputation - so the identity of Mo Ye's father is good for both father and son to be kept secret.

The Mother of the Desert Fields was still there before, maybe she was reluctant, so she just kept it as a thought. When she went, Mo Ye was not only worried about revealing her life experience, which would cause her to be unable to gain a foothold among the Di people, but also resented Shen Zangli, so she simply buried all the burials and destroyed them, and came to a clean ......

Wei Changying was silent for a moment and said, "In this way, you actually believe that he is our nephew?" ”

Shen Zangfeng smiled bitterly: "That Moye is not a fool, if he only comes as a messenger, even if the peace talks fail, I may not embarrass them." But if you dare to pretend to be a descendant of my Shen family, how can I let him go? He is now in Diecui Pass, and life and death are in my hands, so what good is it for him to talk nonsense like this? ”

"But did you notice?" Wei Changying reminded, "He asked you to agree to the peace talks based on their mother and son's experience, according to him, in order to avenge his mother, and also to rise to prominence in front of Ayitahu." But if he is the eldest brother's blood and bones, he is the heir of the Shen family......"

"I know what you mean." Shen Zangfeng nodded slightly and sighed, "He really has no intention of returning to our Shen family, after all, his appearance has completely inherited his mother." If he returns to the Shen family, it will be too noticeable among the Wei people. Even if we defend it, I am afraid that it will be discussed and excluded. Over the years, he must have suffered a lot of exclusion among the Di people because of his unknown biological father, and now that he has the opportunity to be appreciated in front of Aitahu and gain wealth and nobility, he is reluctant to return to the side of Great Wei. ”

After all, Mo Ye has been ostracized among the Di people for many years - it is equivalent to saying that the Di people have long been accustomed to his existence, even if they laugh, they can't come up with any new tricks, unless his life experience is completely exposed. Moye is also accustomed to it.

If he returned to the Shen family, he would have to start everything from scratch.

Wei Changying felt that there was another reason why Mo Ye chose this way, just like he came to negotiate peace on the order of Ayi Tahu this time, and after trying to persuade him simply, he simply asked Shen Zangfeng directly - as Shen Zangli's biological blood, and as Shen Zangli's biological mother who was involved in Shen Zangli's life and defended Shen Zangli until death, if Mo Ye was outcast, Shen Zangli owed him a lot, and he couldn't help but feel distressed and take care of him.

Even Shen Zangfeng, his uncle, would have mercy on him after confirming his background. After all, Mo Ye is a disciple of the Shen family, but he has never been sheltered and cared for by the Shen family, and he has suffered so much, and the Shen family always owes him.

But if he returns to the Shen family......

As the son of a woman who fornicated with Di before Shen Zangli got married, he can't be famous according to the rules. Since he is given a name, it is equivalent to making up for all his grievances over the years, and the Shen family will not feel much indebted to him - the most important thing is that Shen Zangli now has the wife Liu who is being married by Ming Media, and has the eldest daughter Shen Shujing and the eldest son Shen Shuming.

Liu is a well-known good wife, and she has always been loved by Aunt Weng. The pair of daughters and daughters she gave birth to were raised as pearls by the family. Mo Ye is an illegitimate child who is not recognized by the patriarchal law, not to mention that his mother is not recognized by the Shen family at all. He didn't grow up in the Shen family, and he never had any relationship with the Shen family before. In this case, Mo Ye's position when he returned to the Shen family was actually very embarrassing.

Not to mention that now that the Shen family has few male grandchildren, there may still be some favor for him, and when the Shen family's male grandchildren increase, it will be difficult for Mo Ye not to be thrown into the corner.

No matter how you calculate it, it is a good deal not to return to the Shen family, put on a posture of being deeply wronged, and ask for benefits from the Shen family to lay a splendid future among the Di people......

Wei Changying suddenly remembered the matter of Xinyi Pavilion, so she asked her husband: "The place where the eldest brother and sister-in-law live is called Xinyi Pavilion, there seems to be some stories?" ”

Shen Zangfeng shook his head and said, "I don't know, what's wrong?" ”

"Hey, the eleventh miss of the Liu family knows everything, why don't you know?" Wei Changying was very surprised, "It is said that the mother of the eldest sister-in-law came to discuss this matter with our mother at that time, but the eldest brother insisted on ......"

Shen Zangfeng listened to her carefully say what Liu Ruoye said at that time, and thought for a moment: "Maybe the sister-in-law told the crown princess, but it was accidentally leaked to the eleventh miss of the Liu family by the crown princess or the people around the crown princess. ”

Wei Changying groaned, "This is also possible...... Or, ask the desert? ”

"It's not entirely certain now, so let's not touch him yet." Shen Zangfeng smiled bitterly and said, "You must know that he saved you, and it is very likely that he will call you an aunt, in case it is troublesome to ask you any conditions that are not easy to answer." ”

Obviously, Shen Zangfeng also suspected that Mo Ye might not be as angry and resentful as he seemed on the surface, and it was very likely that he just thought that the current posture was more likely to arouse the sympathy and pity of the Shen family, and then give him more compensation, so he deliberately acted up. So I was worried that Wei Changying would rush to see him and be cheated by him.

Such speculation is not authentic for the benefactor who saved Wei Changying, but Shen Zangfeng now represents the Shen family, whether to negotiate peace with Ayitahu and how to form an alliance are all decisions that are of great importance, and he will not make decisions that are not conducive to the interests of the Shen family because of any kindness. This is the sobriety that a qualified next lord should have, and his own selfishness must not override the interests of the family!

This is also the reason why he met with Mo Ye alone before, and as soon as he saw him, he saluted and thanked the chief of the guard - I knew that you were kind to my wife, so I mentioned it as soon as I came up. If Mo Ye had the intention of repaying the favor, Shen Zangfeng would immediately tell him clearly that the bridge would return to the bridge and the road would return, and he would not repay the Shen family's interests for saving Wei Changying's kindness. In short, it is to cut off Mo Ye's plan to mention this kindness without knowing it, and to use it in and out of his words.

It's just that Mo Ye's answer was not in Shen Zangfeng's plan.

But it still couldn't dispel Shen Zangfeng's defense against him—if he just saved Wei Changying. However, he may also be the younger generation of the two, and before confirming this identity, he was too close to him, and he was afraid that he would be opened up by the lion; is not close enough to him, and after the identity is verified, he loses the kindness of his elders.

It's better to just ignore him, and wait for the news to be confirmed, and then decide what attitude and method to take to treat him.

Shen Zangfeng told his wife: "I said before that you were frightened and needed to recuperate for a few days, so I couldn't go and thank him in person. I have already thanked you on your behalf, and you want to thank him, and wait for the letter from the eldest brother. ”

"You can't just say it, right?" Wei Changying was very distressed, "I thought before, I was saved by this group of Di people, and they want to negotiate again, how can I repay this favor?" But I won't intervene in such things as peace talks. Now he has spoken about his life story again...... Alas! ”

Shen Zangfeng touched her sideburns and said, "I guess he should be the blood of the eldest brother, if not, I won't hurt him this time - after all, he saved you." Regarding the peace talks, I haven't made up my mind now, so I took advantage of this time to check with my eldest brother and ask my father for advice. ”

…… Although Ayitahu's words were peace talks with the Great Wei, neither Mo Ye, as the envoy, nor Shen Zangfeng, mentioned the intention of telling the Great Wei Emperor.

Wei Changying subconsciously mentioned: "Mo Ye's life experience can be hidden." But he came to ask for peace, and he must not have been able to hide it from the saint. I look at the Holy One who likes to hear good news and hates bad news, and I am afraid that I will not agree to it if I have great victories before. ”

Shen Zangfeng didn't care, and said indifferently: "The general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected." What's more, Xiliang is far away from the imperial capital, and if the holy will is really unfavorable to our family, just get two things to go up, so that the holy will has to change the holy will. ”

"Since you have an idea, I won't talk much." Wei Changying nodded, revealing a look of relief. What I muttered in my heart was: I don't want the little blood that my eldest brother left in Xiliang in the past, but this time it saved my life! It's just that this child's background is so complicated, and he is a man, and it is inconvenient for me to see him, but I don't know how to repay him this time?
