The two of them entered the private room opposite the door and found that Widow Qin and the child were not there, and they were a little annoyed, and one of them questioned Yunni. Yun Ni trembled and said according to her mother's instructions, but she still couldn't stop the other party from scolding: "Nonsense, she wants to go out to find us, what are you going to do to bring the little boy with you?" What if someone bumps into me outside? Is your mother confused? Don't know what's going on right now? We're not going out to go on a tour, if we haven't made it yet, we will call the head to find out, let alone leave, we can't save our lives."

Yunni sobbed under her breath, "They'll be back soon, really, Steward Wang, don't be angry......"

Another man also advised the king to take charge: "Don't worry, things haven't come to that yet." Didn't you say it was already arranged? No one will notice that the three of them are no longer in the house for three or five days, and who will find out? This girl has always been stupid, it's useless for you to scold her, let's talk quietly, don't let people hear it, and become suspicious. ”

The steward realized that his voice was too loud, and hurriedly opened the door to see the movement, and when he saw that the door of the room opposite the door was closed, he was a little suspicious, and turned back to ask Yunni, "Who is the other door?" He seemed to have seen a man dressed as a handmaid closing the door.

Yun Ni was a little flustered, thinking, "If you let Steward Wang know that the eldest lady is inside and has spoken to me, will you scold the eldest lady?" She hurriedly said, "I...... I don't know, I've been in this room all the time, I can't hear outside, I don't know who is at the door. ”

The steward knew that she was honest, and he didn't think much about it, but he felt that she couldn't hear the sound of the other door, and the other side of the door couldn't hear this side either, so he relieved himself, but then he spoke much quieter.

In the quiet room opposite, Wen Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she motioned to Qiuguo and Runxin with her eyes, telling them not to speak, and not to move, so as not to alarm the other door.

After a while, the widow Qin came back with the child, and the steward of the king scolded again: "What did you do? If the little master has a delay, how many lives do you have to pay for? ”

Widow Qin was not to be outdone: "He is my sister's own flesh and blood, I am more concerned about him than you, I don't need you to teach me If you didn't come all the time, I wouldn't have taken the risk of taking him out to find you."

"If you want to find someone, ask your daughter to find it, or you will go by yourself, why bring the little master?"

"Do you think I didn't call? If it weren't for Winnier's stupidity, I wouldn't be able to find you for a long time, so why would I go myself? I'm not here, Yun Nier can't control the son, I can't help it. Who told you to delay coming? ”

"Okay, Wang Steward, the Qin family, you don't look at what kind of place this is, you just care about arguing, are you afraid that we will not attract attention enough? Steward Wang, what are we here for, don't you forget that there is also the Qin family, it's not that we don't want to come early, it's that we encountered some accidents on the way here, we were afraid that someone would embellish us, so we specially made a few more rounds, isn't this also for your safety? ”

Steward Wang stopped talking, but Widow Qin was a little panicked: "What? Someone spotted us? ”

"Not yet." "It must just be a coincidence that our lord met a colleague at the docks when he was asking about the boat, and he should have left by this time." But just in case, let's get on the road early, the boat is parked on the edge of the dock, we will start the boat as soon as we arrive, day and night, and when we reach the boundary of Dongping, we can rest assured. Hurry up and grab your luggage and come with us. ”

There was a rush at the door, and after a while, a sound of footsteps passed by the door, mixed with the child's question: "Auntie, are we going to take a big boat?" How big is it? Is it the size of a house? I don't want to take the kind of boat I used to ride when I was a child, it's so small, it's crowded with a bunch of people, and it stinks to ......death......."

The footsteps went downstairs, Runxin walked lightly to the door, opened the door a crack, carefully leaned over to look, just in time to see Yunni carrying two burdens downstairs, looked back at the staircase, bent her knees slightly, and went downstairs.

Runxin closed the door and turned around to report: "Big * milk, they are gone, and that sister is also ......"

Wen Yi nodded, walked to the window and looked downstairs, just in time to see their group hurriedly go to the dock with their heads down, and get on a boat at the corner of the dock, it seems to be a cargo ship. Seeing this, Yunni's younger brother made a fuss again, and the widow Qin coaxed for a while without coaxing, and the steward Wang glanced at his companion, then covered the child's mouth from behind, hugged his waist, and entered the cabin, and the widow Qin chased after him with a shout, and the entourage of the general Rong'an said hello to the boatman, and the boat sailed. Yun Ni held her burden, standing on the deck blankly and looking around, from time to time she was bumped into by the boatmen who came and went, and scolded a few words, and then there was a cry from Widow Qin in the cabin, and she stumbled over.

Wen Yi withdrew her gaze and returned to the table, her face sinking like water. Runxin and Qiu Guo glanced at each other, and the latter asked cautiously, "Miss, is that Winier?" I remember that Sister Ziying mentioned that she is from Xishan Zhuangzi, isn't it? ”

Wen Yi nodded: "Yes, but her family is not a tenant of our family, and our family's house in the village was bought from her mother." ”

"That's it." Qiu Guo glanced at Runxin, "I heard that her mother loves her son very much, in order to let her son recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, she would rather sell her daughter to our family as a girl, so that she can use a few taels of silver on the road." The slave only thought that she valued her son, but she didn't expect that it was just her nephew, and there was such a person in the world who sold her own daughter for her nephew."

Runxin whispered: "Is it because her nephew's background is not ordinary?" She also said just now that she wants her daughter to be a little younger for her nephew, my Bodhisattva and that girl are seventeen or eighteen, how old is her brother? When he grows old enough to marry a daughter-in-law, this Yunier will become an old girl, right? It's still small, it's really ......"

Wen Yi's face became a little more ugly, and she said to them: "You should bury this matter in your hearts, don't tell anyone casually." I have my own opinions. ”

The two of them responded with their knees bent, and Qiu Guo couldn't help but ask more: "Miss wants to help them?" When we get to Cannan, it's easy to find Winnie. ”

Wen Yi was silent. This is not just as simple as helping an old person.

Footsteps sounded on the stairs again, this time it was Liu Dongxing. He smiled embarrassedly at Wen Yi: "Wait, right?" Hungry? Why don't you order a few more plates of dim sum? Let's ask Xiao Er to come up and order. ”

Wen Yi was in the mood to eat, so she hurriedly said to him: "I just met someone I knew before, and I heard about something, I think you may be interested in knowing, let's go home, say on the way." ”

Liu Dongxing was stunned for a moment, Wen Yi had already leaned over and lowered his voice: "It has something to do with King Kang's Mansion." Liu Dongxing's expression was grim, and without saying a word, he pulled her downstairs and told Shu Ping to settle the bill.

By the time they returned to their home in Yangliver Hutong, Wen Yi had already explained everything in detail, from the time when they first met Widow Qin and Yunni, to what they saw in the Zhuangzi of the Cha family, and what they saw from the window on the second floor of the teahouse.

When Liu Dongxing heard the back, he was already frowning, got out of the car, and before he entered the house, he ran to his neighbor Zhu's house first. Wen Yi knew what to do, so she instructed her family to do things, then ordered the kitchen to prepare food, went back to the room to change into homely clothes, and sat in the warm pavilion with a stove to drink tea. Liu Dongxing came back.

He changed his clothes, held the hot tea handed over by Wen Yi in his hand, took a sip, and sighed: "The world is unpredictable, I didn't expect us to be so close to the rumored little prince in King Kang's Mansion back then." ”

Wen Yi smiled and asked, "How is it?" You've reported it all? ”

Liu Dongxing glanced at her quickly and smiled slightly: "Yes, the report has been reported, but how do you know?" ”

Wen Yi lowered her eyes with a smile and gently flicked the tea leaves with the lid of the tea bowl: "I don't know, you didn't tell me." Then he glanced at Liu Dongxing.

Liu Dongxing's heart moved, put down the tea bowl, snatched hers and put it down by the way, and then took her hand and pulled the person into his arms. Wen Yi was about to struggle, but he hugged him tighter: "Don't move, it's hard to leave us at home......"

Wen Yi's face turned red: "Nonsense, there are many people in the family."

Liu Dongxing glanced at her aggrievedly: "They are very eye-catching, and they don't dare to break in casually." Let's just treat it as if you and I were the only ones left in the house, okay? You can let me go this time, just because my grandmother is in the same yard with us, I am afraid that the old man will hear the movement, and I will not dare to shout with you at night......"

Wen Yi hurriedly covered his mouth, blushed and said, "I know, I know, don't say it"

Liu Dongxing hurriedly confirmed: "Then you promised me?" ”

Wen Yi slapped him angrily: "It was night, let's get down to business, where are you going?" As he spoke, he broke free, sat down on the opposite side of the kang table again, and glared at him angrily.

Liu Dongxing said with a smile: "Anyway, I'll promise you to me." Then his expression was solemn, and he looked serious again: "That child, whose name should be Zhu Jiayi, is indeed the son of the late King Kang, and the cousin of Zhu Jingshen, the former son of King Kang, whom we know." ”

Wen Yi was not used to his changing face so quickly for a while, and was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses: "Why is it called this name?" Isn't their brother's generation the 'Jing' generation? ”

Liu Dongxing smiled: "He was not born in the palace, his name is not right, and he didn't go to the clan jade at all, where is the word 'Jing' used?" This name should have been given to him by someone else, probably the Qin widow you mentioned, or his biological mother. ”

Wen Yi frowned: "What the hell is going on?" I heard that Widow Qin escaped with her child and daughter because Princess Kang chased and killed the child, and lived incognito in Xishan Village near Pingyin for several years. But I remember that Princess Kang died a long time ago, earlier than King Kang, why didn't they go back to the palace? ”

Liu Dongxing said: "It's a long story here. That Zhu Jiayi's biological mother was originally a girl next to King Kang's side concubine Cha's side, and climbed into King Kang's bed without telling the princess and the side concubine, until the pearl fetus was secretly knotted, and no one found out. Cha immediately reported to Princess Kang, and Princess Kang tied up the girl and wanted to investigate her for seducing the prince. King Kang came in time to stop him, and he had a big quarrel with the princess. He only has one son under his knees, and if he can add more blood, he is naturally willing. Princess Kang couldn't, so she allowed Zhu Jiayi's biological mother to stay in the palace as a roommate, and it was naturally indispensable to humiliate and make things difficult during the period. Zhu Jiayi's biological mother was originally the daughter of a servant of the palace, and her father, brother and relatives were all in service, and they all counted on her to become a man in one fell swoop, and since then she has climbed the branches and benefited her family. The widow of Na Qin escaped with her sister and daughter, and since then she has not been heard from since. ”

Wen Yi gasped when she heard this: "This Princess Kang's methods are really ......" Thinking that Zhu Jingshen was her parent, she was not surprised, and sure enough, she had a family relationship.

Liu Dongxing sneered: "In these royal family relatives, are there still few dirty and unsightly things?" Princess Kang's reputation is already good, if it weren't for Zhu Jiayi's mother's family to calculate her, she wouldn't have planned to be ruthless. In fact, the family was not pitiful, at that time, his daughter's fetus was already seven or eight months old, and the medical case of the imperial physician of the palace stated that it was a male fetus, and they probably also had a mind, planning to pull Princess Kang off the horse, and solve it with the son by the way, so that the grandson could ascend the throne, right? King Kang is already old, and the son is his old son, after Zhu Jiayi, I haven't heard that any of his concubines are pregnant, and people are big. ”

Wen Yi sighed and shook her head, and asked again: "So, after Widow Qin escaped back then, she has been living in seclusion in Xishan Village?" Then why did she want to go to the world again after King Kang's death? Does that make sense? ”

Liu Dongxing sneered: "She didn't want to go to the world. Her mother's family was killed, but her husband's family is still in the palace. The prince has been in poor health since she was a child, and Princess Kang has killed more slaves, and the people in the palace have complained about her. At that time, the subordinate officials of the royal palace had discussed, what if the son did not live forever? Some people advocate recovering the Qin widow sisters, no matter what, they are also the bloodline of King Kang. At that time, someone should have contacted them, knowing that Zhu Jiayi was born and her mother died in childbirth, but then the son was sick and the princess died, so they didn't care about picking them up for a while. When the matter passed, the head of the palace was replaced by the side concubine Cha, and the Qin widow was wary again, thinking that the Cha family was Princess Kang's minions, and Zhu Jiayi went back, and his life would be in danger, so he asked King Kang to send a henchman to pick it up, and he also gave her sister an official name and a child an official name. dragged on like this, and in the third year, King Kang fell ill, and the matter was put on the shelf again. ”

Wen Yi guessed what was going on: "So, Widow Qin may have been waiting for King Kang to send someone to pick them up, but I didn't expect King Kang's illness, he was sick for two years, and then he died suddenly, the palace changed the prince's head, and the prince helped Ling to go to Beijing, so no one cared about them anymore?" ”

Liu Dongxing nodded: "She may also be panicked." Because Zhu Jiayi is not on the jade, he is not even a child of a serious sect, and Lu Mi is not knighted. King Kang is dead, and the side concubine Cha is gone, and no one can prove his identity. All the Qin widow can do is to take her children to Beijing and find the old people in the palace, especially the husband family, so that she can correct Zhu Jiayi's name. At that time, the people in King Kang's Mansion were not monolithic, if she was lucky, maybe she could fight for greater wealth. It's a pity that things didn't go her way. The prince was left in the palace to be raised, and the old people in the palace were scattered, and after she arrived in the capital, she could only start from the Zongren Mansion and give Zhu Jiayi a life without worrying about food and clothing. However, there are a few old people in the palace who are not valued by the world, and they want to use them to make some trouble, these are all later stories. The people in the General Administration Department have been watching. ”

Wen Yi hurriedly said: "What about today's dock...... Those few people also made it? ”

Liu Dongxing smiled slightly: "The famous hall here is big, let's go to Kangnan, just start here."
