Chapter 423: Know
"Boy, thank you, madam, in the future, the boy will get ahead, and he will repay Mrs. for her kindness to the boy!"
After saying that, the child kowtowed three times in a row, and then got up and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Ye Xia shouted to him: "Where are you going?" ”
Qin Zhao shook his head: "The kid doesn't know, but no matter where he goes, the kid will try to live!" ”
A flash of appreciation flashed in Ye Xia's eyes: "Qin Zhao, the son-in-law born to the former wife of the Duke of Changguo, right?" ”
Pursing his lips and being silent for a while, Qin Zhao waved his hand and saluted: "I'm sorry, madam, the kid didn't want to hide it from his wife, but in the kid's heart, he has nothing to do with the Changguo Mansion for a long time." "Is it not up to you to say anything to do with the Changguo Mansion, understand?"
Ye Xia raised his eyebrows and looked at her, the corners of Qin Zhao's mouth tightened, and he was silent. He naturally understands that even if the so-called father removed his name from the family tree, he still has the blood of the Qin family in his body, and he still has a constant relationship with the Changguo Mansion, but he doesn't want to, and he doesn't want to live in that mansion that makes him full of hatred. "I don't know exactly what happened to you, but I can see that you are a clever child, and how can you be so whipped? Tell me, are all the injuries on your body from the hands of Chang Guogong? ”
After struggling for a moment, Qin Zhao nodded. "Although it is not wrong for a father to teach his son a lesson, if this father is not serious, and is provoked by others to be cruel to his own flesh and blood,
In my opinion, the son can not only resist, but also think of finding someone to call the shots for himself, and even smarter, and expose the true face of the person who provoked him on the spot.
When you do this, you have to hit it with one hit. Stay away, Taoguang is obscure, grow up safely, and come back to seek justice for yourself in the next day, although this is also a way to punish bad people, but the world is impermanent, when you grow up, will the other party just sit and wait for you to come back and turn the tables? ”
At this moment, Qin Zhao couldn't hear that the lady in front of him should have almost learned about his affairs and the affairs of the Changguo Mansion, knowing that he was persecuted by his stepmother, and knowing that the Changguo Prince,
His father was nothing more than a knife in the hands of his stepwife, and he cut his body day by day, so as to achieve the goal of one day completely reaping his life. But he wanted to say:
"Madame, you don't know that woman, she does everything to me without leakage, how can I debunk her true colors? Where can I find someone to call the shots for a little child?
Person? Cheng'en Mansion is a broken settlement in the noble circle in Beijing, and everyone has no time to dodge, who is idle and has nothing to do, and is willing to have something to do with this broken settlement? ”
Walking up to the child, Ye Xia smiled, raised his hand and rubbed the child's head, and said softly: "No matter how perfectly a person is disguised, there are times when there are mistakes.
And as far as the current reputation of the Changguo Mansion in the capital is concerned, it is indeed not very good, in this case, for those who take interests as the starting point, they will not lower their value.
With such a defeated aristocratic car relationship, but you are just a child, and you are a good child who knows right from wrong and has a tough heart, I think, someone is still willing to stand on your side, willing to give you invisible power, so that you don't have to hide, and grow up in the sun openly. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Xia paused for a moment, smiled in his eyes, and said with a kind face: "If you don't mind, would you like to be a guest at my house for a few more days?" Yan'er, their brother and sister like you very much, little brother,
In addition, seven days later, it will be the 70th birthday banquet of the princess of Cheng'en Mansion, and at that time, you can go to their grandfather's house with me, Yan'er, Ran'er, and Ningling to celebrate their birthday. ”
She doesn't need to do anything in the Cheng'en Mansion, she just needs those guests to know that Qin Zhao, the youngest son of the Changguo Mansion, met her, the queen's sister-in-law, and had a good time with the juniors of the Cheng'en Mansion and the grandsons of the Cheng'en Mansion.
I believe that as long as this news reaches the ears of the stepwife of Changguo Gong and reaches the ears of Chang Guogong, he will think carefully about his attitude towards Xiao Qin Zhao in the future.
"I ...... It's not right for me to go, right? ”
Qin Zhao was very smart, after thinking about it a little, he understood what Ye Xia meant, he couldn't hide his gratitude in his eyes, but he felt that he shouldn't trouble his benefactor, so he pursed his lips and said: "After all, I am an outsider, and I rashly appeared at the birthday banquet of Mrs. Tai of the Cheng'en Mansion, so if someone talks about things in public, it will have a bad impact on Mrs. Tai's birthday banquet." ”
He is the unfavored son-in-law of the Chengen Mansion, and he has no invitation, how can he be cheeky to go to the people's mansion to cause trouble?
Yes, in Qin Zhao's heart, if he appeared at the birthday banquet of the princess of the Chengen Mansion,
It's not to congratulate people on their birthdays, it's to bring trouble to people for a good birthday banquet, and since he knows what might happen, he doesn't want to give people a chance to talk. Even if he knew that he appeared at the birthday banquet of the Chengen Mansion, and the grandchildren of the Chengen Gong and his grandchildren...... Grandson?
Don't...... Could it be that the lady in front of her was from the Cheng'en Mansion?
Qin Zhao is a child in the end, and he can't hide things in his eyes, no, not, perceiving the change in his expression, Ye Xia doesn't need to think too much, he knows what the child is thinking, she said:
"My surname is Ye, I am the second daughter of the Chengen Mansion, my husband's family was originally the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, but now it has become the Weiyuan Uncle's Mansion, not long ago I left my husband's house and took Yan'er and their brothers and sisters to live outside. If you don't mind that I'm a divorced woman, how about you consider me your stepmother? ”
Isn't the child worried that she will not appear at the birthday banquet of the Chengen Mansion without a name, then she will give her an identity, but it is nothing to accept a righteous son. let alone
In her plan, she will slowly adopt some fatherless and motherless orphans, place them, ask her husband to teach them reading, literacy and arithmetic, and at the same time ask a few embroidery girls to teach the girls among the orphans to learn female red.
When these children are trained, they can choose to go out on their own to make a living, or they can choose to stay and work in the industry she has established. In short, the orphans she adopted will become a talent pool for her to use.
"Madame, you ...... Are you going to take a kid as a righteous son? ”
Qin Zhao's eyes were red, and he looked up at Ye Xia directly, this lady, this young lady who saved his life, the first young lady to release kindness to him since his grandmother died,
She was born in the Cheng'en Mansion, she is the second daughter of Mrs. Ye, the sister of the queen's mother, and the aunt of His Royal Highness the Prince.
played those tricks on him, and his so-called father probably didn't dare to whip him indiscriminately and punish him to kneel in the ancestral hall. Of course, the evil slaves who had bullied him in the past would have to hide when they saw him, lest he repay what they had done to him in the past.
As for the fact that this lady is a divorced woman, why should he mind?
Even if she is an abandoned woman, he will not mind a bit, because he has eyes, perception, and knows that this lady is a good person, and she is a very unusual woman, she is open-minded.
Wise and decisive, and amiable, he likes to have such a lady as his stepmother, thinking so, Qin Zhao couldn't help but clench his hands hanging by his side, he was afraid that he would misunderstand, afraid that he was just auditory hallucinations, clinker, Ye Xia nodded affirmatively at this time, and asked with a smile: "Then are you willing?" ”
Qin Zhao didn't need to hesitate, he took two steps back, immediately knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Ye Xia: "The stepmother is above, please accept the child's worship!" ”
Ye Xia helped the child up: "Okay, Yan'er and their brothers and sisters will get up in a while, and I will reintroduce you to each other, and by the way, I will reintroduce you to other people in our house." ”
Well, to the queen in the palace and the Chengen Mansion, she had to say it in advance, so as not to go back and meet again, and learn that she suddenly had such a righteous son, and they all felt abrupt.
With Ye Xia's stepmother, Qin Zhao can be regarded as settling down, he doesn't need to think about staying away from the capital, away from the people in the Changguo Mansion who make him hate more, just listen to the teachings of his stepmother,
Grow up well, and one day grab your stepmother's fox tail, pull it out directly, expose it to people, and see how the vicious woman maintains her hypocritical face! This is the first time Qin Zhao recognized Ye Xia as his stepmother.
At the same time, in the Cheng'en Mansion, the step-wife of the Duke of Changguo, He Shi, pinched the silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, while looking handsome, but obviously hollowed out by wine, a man of about twenty-seven or eighteen years old said with a sad tone in front of him:
"Is it true that Grandpa Guo lives in someone else's house because of Zhao'er? The concubine didn't worry about whether this would affect the concubine's reputation, but Zhao'er didn't return home for three days, and she fell on the street with whip wounds all over her body.
was brought back to her house by the Ye family, if she had any misunderstanding about Grandpa Guo because of the whiplash wound on Zhao'er's body, I was afraid that Cheng'en Gongna and the palace would hear some words that were unfavorable to Grandpa Guo. ”
Damn, she really didn't expect that the dead child would be able to sneak out of the house under her ears and eyes, and coincidentally fell in front of the carriage of Cheng'en Gong's second daughter, the queen's sister, with a whip wound, not that she was afraid of Cheng'en Gong's mansion and the queen...... She's so scared!
The good reputation of careful management is broken by the dead child in front of people, and if the queen decrees it, she will be able to cut off her life. It's a shame to lose your fateful identity,
But what she is afraid of is that she is not enough to be ridiculed, ridiculed, and despised by those ladies in the circle, and even the children born to her will become the objects of contempt, ridicule, and contempt by those sons and ladies of the same age in the circle.
How else to set a good family business? Although there have been no messages about her circulating in Beijing in the past three days, she is worried that it is the calm before the storm.
However, in the past three days, to be precise, since she heard what Jia Ding Li Bao and Jia Ding Cui Meng said that they didn't bring anyone back to the house that day, her whole heart has begun to panic, and then she went out with her henchmen to inquire about the news brought back by Li Bao and the others.
learned that Qin Zhao's dead child was brought back to the house by Cheng Engong's second daughter, the queen's sister-in-law, and the other party not only did not hand over Qin Zhao's dead child, but also unceremoniously drove Li Bao and the others out of the house.
It shows that she has some understanding of the Changguo Mansion, and it shows that she has a tough attitude, as if she wants to be determined to make decisions for Qin Zhao's dead child, how unfavorable this is to her, there is no need for others to talk about it,
She didn't need to think about it for herself, she couldn't know it in her heart. The emperor has true feelings for the queen, otherwise, he would not have issued a holy decree at the juncture to retry the case of the Ye family.
The Ye family is innocent, the queen and the prince are restored, and the prince is from the queen, even if Ye Qingxia's woman is reconciled with Wei Yuanbo, even if a woman lives outside with three young children, anyone in this capital who knows her true identity will not come to the door to bully the divorced woman without a long eye.
Backed by the queen, backed by the Chengen Mansion, the elder brother and younger brother are all promising, if there is a divorced wife Ye to support Qin Zhao's dead child, she ...... Even if she won't be stripped of her disguise in a short period of time, Rihe won't want to use means against Qin Zhao's dead child again.
Depressed and unwilling to bite He's heart like a poisonous worm, but in order to maintain the image she has always created externally, she can only curb her emotions, pretend to be innocent, pretend to be sad, and hope that the man in front of her, who was only pinched by her, will take her stepson back to the house as soon as possible, so that she will not spend her days in panic.
However, the Duke of Changguo, where do you dare to go to a woman's mansion with a strong backer to ask for someone in person?
What's more, Chang Guogong knows better than anyone how much the son left by his wife hates him, if he really goes to someone else's house to ask for someone, and the child doesn't go with him, won't he lose his face outside?
In addition to these two points, Chang Guogong was also afraid that the ridiculous things he had done would attract the emperor's attention, and then he would not give him a demotion or directly cut the holy decree of the knight. Therefore, no matter what He said in his ears or how he wiped his tears in the past three days, he always kept silent and ignored the other party.
"Grandpa Guo, the concubine is really worried about your reputation and the face of our Guogong Mansion, if you don't go and bring Zhao'er back in person, as time goes by, I'm afraid it will attract a lot of people to guess about you, my stepmother, and our Guogong Mansion!"
He never thought that the man in front of her would one day get out of her control, but the obvious abnormality of the man in the past three days made her involuntarily vigilant, and she took out the skills to coax the man more than before, hoping that the other party would listen to her and do what she said, but it was still ineffective.
"You don't really think I don't know anything, do you? Do you really think that I will think that you are a good stepmother like those people out there who don't know the truth? ”
In the house, Chang Guogong and He Shi, the maid who was serving in front of him, had already been sent to the courtyard by He Shi to wait, so that she could perform in front of Chang Guogong.
The style of speaking is completely different from the past, He Shi was stunned, looking at the man with stunned eyes, on the other hand, Chang Guogong, swept away the muddy and nightmare that has always been, and condensed to He Shi without any expression, staring at this woman who died of illness less than a year after his wife died of illness, remarried into the mansion, and spoiled to this day, accustomed to pretending and disguising.
"Grandpa Guo...... You, what do you say? The concubine can't understand, the concubine can't understand a word! ”
He came back to his senses and shook his head, looking like he wanted to cry.
