Ye Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, but before he had time to rest for a while, he stepped on the broken stone and slipped under his feet.

At that time, he was dizzy with a heavy fall on the back of his head on a dead stake, but then a part of his mind remembered a lot of things as if it were being opened.

Hearing this, Qi Moxiao's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked him, "What do you remember?" ”

Ye Xiao paused, and his face became more and more pale: "I...... I remembered my origins. ”

As soon as these words came out, they really surprised Qi Moxiao and Yun Zhuyue.

After the husband and wife glanced at each other, Yun asked month by month: "Your biological parents are ......?"

Ye Xiao showed a pale and wistful smile on his face, and seemed to be reluctant to go into too much detail, only mentioning his mother slightly.

"My mother was the daughter of a small family, and because her parents died young, she followed her brother and sister-in-law to run a very small tavern. She grew up to the age of being married, and one day, she saved a man who fell in front of the tavern at night, that man," Ye Xiao paused, unable to tell what emotion was, "It's my father." ”

"At that time, he was seriously injured, and after he finally woke up, he even forgot his surname, so my mother took care of him, and after a long time, they had feelings for each other, and they got married and had me."

"And then?" Yun Yunyue has a faint premonition that things may not be simple.

Sure enough, Ye Xiao continued to say: "But in the second year of my birth, my father had an accident, and it was this accident that made him remember all the things he had forgotten before. ”

"Your father...... It can't be that there is another wife in the family, right? ”

Ye Xiao lowered his head and smiled lightly, "Niangniang's guess is right, my father's family is a famous family, and he was engaged to the young lady of the world friend family early, the year he disappeared, he married that young lady for only half a month, for this half month, people waited for him for a few years." ”

The next very cruel reality goes, one is the original partner who is loyal and hard-working; The other is a gentle wife who has been with us for a few years and already has children.

Who can he lose?

It seemed that no one could bear it, so the mother and son were also brought back to their original home. His original partner was very virtuous, and after hearing the whole thing, he was willing to let her husband take the child's mother as a wife.

If the story ends here, it will be a happy ending.

But the reality is different from the story, and when you cut through the gorgeous appearance, it may be a mess inside.

The life of monogamy is not easy, and the torture is three people.

Maybe it's because of a few years of getting along day and night, the man has a better relationship with the child's mother, and he is husband and wife with the original partner, but he can only be called respectful and doesn't go to her house.

If the original partner is jealous, and if the little family girl is selfish enough...... Then perhaps she would be able to enjoy this preference with peace of mind.

But no, the original partner is a first-class virtuous person, a real lady, dignified and soft, she treats this woman who has occupied her husband for several years very well, and she is really grateful to her for saving him and being able to come back alive.

As for the little family girl, she is also a kind and soft person, otherwise she would not have met in Pingshui, so she took out all the dowry money she had saved for many years to save a stranger who met in Pingshui.

However, fate is such a teasing of people, two women who should have their own happiness, but they mistakenly share the same man together.

The little family girl can sense the occasional look of loss in the original match, yes, she loves him, loves him as she does.

Can she selfishly dominate him for the rest of her life? Relying on his favor, relying on this woman's kindness, stepping on the pain of others to live a lifetime?

No, she couldn't.

She finally couldn't bear the condemnation in her heart and began to persuade her husband to spend the night at the original partner's side.

She said, you can't let her stay a widow for the rest of her life, right, it's too cruel.

When Yun Zhuyue heard this, his heart was slightly sour. She could imagine the pain and torment of the woman at that time to say such a tormenting word.

Her voice was also slightly hoarse, and her expression was a little unbearable: "Then your mother ...... later"

"My mother has a soft appearance, but her temperament is a little stubborn. Later, when these three people were miserable, she led me and quietly left. ”

Ye Xiao still remembered that he was five years old at the time, and his mother left that house with him under the pretext of going out of the city to worship the Buddha.

At that time, the original partner also gave birth to a son, and the mother held him and sat in the carriage, and the carriage drove forward, and the mother lifted the side curtains and took him to see the house for the last time.

He asked his mother why she had to go.

She smiled and told him softly, "Stolen things must always be returned." ”

He asked again if she would come back to see her father, and she shook her head and said no.

Later, he followed his mother to a far, far away place, and his mother was a woman, who took him very hard, and died of illness when he was ten years old.

After his mother's death, he was as lonely as duckweed, and later even fell to grabbing food with the little beggars, and once he was knocked down by the youngest son of a state official on horseback, and he was very ill, and after a high fever, he forgot everything and cleaned it up, thinking that he was like the little beggar who no one wanted, and he was an orphan who was thrown away at a very young age.

With that, the story comes to an end.

Seeing Ye Xiao's confused and somewhat painful expression, Qi Moxiao and Yun couldn't bear to ask any more.

"You have a good rest, let's go out first, and we won't disturb you."

The most honorable couple left the inner sanctum, in silence.

Walking on the palace road together, Yun Zhuyue said with some pity: "Ye Xiao's child is too pitiful, and his mother is the same, presumably when he is alive, his heart is also tormented." ”

But the strange thing is that Qi Moxiao, who usually asks and answers with her, is unusually silent this time, and even faintly distracted.

Yun Zhuyue sensed that something was wrong, so she asked him sideways, "What's wrong?" What are you thinking? How absent-minded. ”

Qi Moxiao hesitated, suddenly stopped, and said, "Yue'er, I seem to know who Ye Xiao's father is." ”

"Who?"

"Second Uncle Ye Shu, Ye Qingyuan. But......" he paused slightly, "but I still have to check with Ye Shu to be safe." ”

The Ye family is a hundred years of clear stream, and there are countless children of the clan who have been officials in the court for generations, all of whom are talented among the people. And Ye Shu is the head of the Ye family of this generation, he is the eldest grandson of the long house, the most amazing and brilliant figure of the Ye family, he was Qi Moxiao's companion in his early years, he is not only a good minister, but also a close friend.

On the same day, Qi Moxiao summoned Ye Shu into the palace and said tentatively: "I heard you inadvertently mention that your second uncle has been missing for a few years, is there such a thing?" ”

When Ye Shu heard this, there was a slight surprise in his eyes: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly ask about this?" ”

Qi Moxiao said: "You just need to answer yes or no. ”

Ye Shu replied: "There is indeed such a thing. ”

"Did he marry another wife and have a son?"

Ye Shu thought secretly in his heart, how could His Majesty know so clearly, and then suddenly came back to his senses, and said in a slight astonishment: "Your Majesty...... It can't be my cousin's trace, right? ”

Before his second uncle died, he clutched a faded purse, which he had seen, and inside it was a long hair tied with a red rope, and a child's wishful golden lock.

The workmanship cannot come from the Ye family of the Qinggui family, there is only one possibility, it is the second uncle's flat wife and eldest son who quietly left in his early years.

The second uncle was only in his thirties when he died, and begged Ye Shu's father, who was still the head of the family at the time, to find their mother and son.

When he took over as the head of the family, this responsibility shifted from his father's shoulders to him, and at this time, listening to the meaning of His Majesty's words, it seemed to be related to his cousin's mother and son.

His mood fluctuated a little, and he said solemnly: "If Your Majesty is willing to tell Yu Chen about his cousin's mother and son, the minister will definitely be grateful." ”

Qi Moxiao's voice was low, and he said after a while: "Ye Xiao-he may be your cousin." ”

"Ye Xiao?" Ye Shu recalled the appearance of this person in his mind, although they were both courtiers, but their positions were different, they had almost no communication, only a faint impression of each other's names and appearances.

But as far as he knows, Ye Xiao is an orphan, so the second aunt ......

Ye Shu instantly remembered some kind of bad guess, and sighed long: "Love is deep, my second uncle and second aunt, and the second aunt who left early, all died early." ”

He had two second aunts in his mouth, one of whom died of grief less than half a year after the death of his second uncle; And the other, I don't know when Xiang Xiaoyu died.

Speaking of which, Ye Shu also has a little impression of the aunt who left early, the Ye family is very large, and the son who has married a wife and started a family will divide the courtyard to live alone, the second aunt does not often go out of the residence, only occasionally he is led by his father to find the second uncle, and he has seen it a few times from afar, and she is a beautiful woman.

She will be very considerate and personally make tea for them, and when the second uncle sees her, there is a smile in his eyes, and just a staggered look between the two can make people perceive their intimate feelings for each other.

This pair of Xiao Ye Shu, who has been accustomed to seeing respectful couples since childhood, is also a child of the Ye family, under strict etiquette, everyone is calm and self-controlled, and quiet, how have he ever seen such an undisguised expression of affection, and this is his second uncle. Even his father often lamented that he was far inferior to his younger brother, the most outstanding son of the Ye family in the previous generation.

Thinking of the past, Ye Shu's heart became heavy, and he couldn't help but sigh a few times.

At that time, the second uncle of the Ye family who almost wanted to push up with all his might was first-class in intelligence, courage and strategy, and he should have added another famous first assistant to the Ye family in history, but after learning that his cousin's mother and son were missing, he almost cut off his career and looked for them everywhere.

But later, I found an old man who crossed the river, and then I learned that the second aunt who said that it was the Buddha was not kidnapped by the gangsters, but took her son and took a boat down the long river, and completely lost her trace in the vast crowd.

For nearly ten years, the second uncle was still looking for their mother and son before he died, and finally fell down a steep slope in the Gangneung area, and died soon after being seriously injured.
