Chapter 280: Du Qi's Adventures in the Capital

The entire Zhenguo Mansion was a sensation.

Zhou Yijun didn't care about going to the school field with his newly met friend Haijiao, and hurriedly approached the onlookers to watch what was going on. The reef cleverly followed, just in time to watch the audience.

After a while, many members of the Zhou family who received the news also arrived. The old general and his wife in the seventh room of the Zhou family helped each other and rushed over, and when they saw Du Qi, the two elders were silent.

As soon as Du Qi saw these two old men, he threw away Zhenguo Gong and threw himself in front of them and cried.

He called the two old people in the seventh room of the Zhou family "grandfather" and "grandmother", even if they were not related by blood, they were regarded as relatives in his heart. When he was a child, he grew up in front of his mother-in-law and his biological mother, and was often taken by his mother-in-law to his mother's house to play, and the time spent with the two elders of the Zhou family's seven rooms was longer than that of his biological father Du Boqin, who stayed in the guard all the year round.

In front of Zhen Guogong, Du Qi still had some reservations in speaking, and only said what he knew about the conspiracy between his father Du Boqin and the Sun family. But in front of the second elder of the seventh room of the Zhou family, he could no longer bear the grievances in his heart, and cried and told his experience in the past two years.

He was sent to the capital by his father the year before last to study, on the surface he worshipped Confucianism as a teacher, he also followed the study seriously for a few months at first, although he missed his biological mother and maternal grandparents very much, but he chose the road of learning literature by himself, and there was nothing to complain about.

But after a long time, he sensed that something was wrong.

Although his teacher is a famous Confucian teacher, he actually has a close relationship with the Sun family, and many children in the Sun family have studied with him since childhood, so more than half of Du Qi's classmates are members of the Sun family, and the remaining half are mostly descendants of the Sun family's in-laws. A student from the Northwest Frontier Army, a force hostile to the Sun family, was the only one, Du Qi.

Du Qi was uneasy, and he also wrote home to ask his father to change his school. Anyway, he is not very valued under this great Confucian sect, and his classmates are not very friendly, which has affected his homework, and he would rather study in a quieter place. But Du Boqin resolutely refused the request of his only son, and only ordered him to study in Beijing with peace of mind, and he was not allowed to run around if he had nothing to do.

Although Du Qi is a concubine, because he is the only son of the Du family, he has met a gentle and kind mother and grandparents, and he has been favored since he was a child, and he has a little temper. He didn't dare to disobey his father's orders, but he would make some small moves in private, such as finding a way to contact the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion in Beijing, or Zhou Shuyi, the wife in charge of the second room of the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion.

In his opinion, these two families are relatives of his own family, and they are the objects he can turn to. Even if they can't interfere with his father's arrangements for his son, as long as they can send a letter to Chang'an's maternal grandparents and have their maternal grandparents speak, his situation can be greatly improved.

Who knew that the letter sent to the Marquis of Chengen's Mansion was intercepted, and although the letter sent to the Marquis of Yingchuan reached Zhou Shuyi's hands, the latter did not react, but the Sun family's side took stricter care of Du Qi.

Because of the teacher's request, he did not bring the little maid to school, and was alone in an unfriendly environment, once the Sun family spoke, he could not even guarantee his daily life and diet, and he was often bullied by the children of the Sun family in private.

He quickly learned to be obedient, pretending to be very obedient to the Sun family, respectful to the teacher, and attached to one of Sun Yongbai's sons. The teacher was very satisfied with his attitude, and also felt that he had done well in his homework and would be successful in the future, so he spoke out to protect him. Sun Yongbai's son, who he was attached to, was also very satisfied with his help with his homework, and his life was finally better.

After a long time, Sun Yongbai's son would occasionally bring him home and ask him to help with his homework and deal with his father's inquiries.

Du Qi also had the opportunity to overhear the conversation between Sun Yongbai and Sun Yongping, the son of Sun Ge, and learned the truth about the collusion between his father Du Boqin and the Sun family. He turned out to be a hostage that his father took the initiative to send to the Sun family!

Du Qi was devastated, but more panicked.

He grew up in Chang'an, and before he officially apprenticed to study, he had been studying with his mother and a local teacher from Chang'an. In his concept, the Zhou family is the Optimus Prime of the Northwest, and if the Zhou family is good, the Northwest will be safe and sound, and nothing can go beyond the Zhou family.

After knowing his father's conspiracy, his thoughts have not changed either: his father is wrong, and a son can't watch his father make mistakes again and again, so he must find a way to turn the tide!

Du Qi worked hard to coax Sun Yongbai's son to let down his vigilance, and occasionally sent him out to run errands. He also took advantage of one of the opportunities to go out to run errands, escaped from the control of the Sun family, and found the Chengenhou Mansion.

Originally, the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion was closer to him, and there were more opportunities for contact. But he had suffered Zhou Shuyi's loss before, and he couldn't trust her anymore. Even if it took more time and energy, he decided to ask for help directly from the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion.

Hard work pays off. He finally found the Chengenhou Mansion last winter. After Cheng Enhou listened to him explain the reason, he didn't dare to be careless, and from the traces of being bullied and scolded on his body, he judged that what he said about himself being controlled by the Sun family was true. Regardless of whether Du Boqin betrayed the Zhou family and the Northwest Frontier Army, sending Du Qi back to Chang'an to explain the truth was the only choice.

Cheng Enhou found that there was a Sun family wandering around his house, worried that he would send Du Qi out on the front foot, and the child on the back foot would be taken away. Therefore, after discussing with his wife, he decided to let his daughter-in-law take a pair of grandchildren back to Chang'an to visit relatives, no matter whether he could catch the New Year or not, he had to send Du Qi to the seventh room of the Zhou family safely.

It's not that Chengenhou is too anxious, but the Sun family's plan that Du Qi overheard, as early as the first month of this year, and at the latest in the spring of this year, they will conspire with Du Boqin to provoke the relationship between the Zhou family and the major generals in Chang'an, and I don't know how many young people will be killed at that time! In order to stop the conspiracy between the Sun family and Du Boqin in time, they naturally had to notify the Zhenguo Mansion as soon as possible.

Mrs. Chengen Hou Shizi took the child like this, and Du Qi, who was dressed as a small servant, was mixed with a small servant in the team, and went out in the cold winter moon. They didn't know that ten days after they left, a messenger from the Guogong Mansion in Chang'an Town would arrive in the capital and bring the news of Chang'an to Chengenhou, including the Sun family sending people to kill the Jin family, and the latest news about Du Boqin's betrayal of the border army and provoking the Zhou family and various generals.

The teams on both sides diverged in the road. Mrs. Chengen Hou Shizi, mother and son also entered the Zhenguo Mansion before they realized that they were busy in vain. However, the Duchess of Zhenguo felt sorry for her nieces and nephews and grandnephews for the sake of the family's interests and the overall situation of the border army, and suffered a big crime for a month, so she hurriedly asked her daughters-in-law to send people to the backyard for resettlement.

And Du Qi, who had just hugged his titular grandparents and cried bitterly, learned that his father had already exposed his stuff and had become a prisoner, and his biological mother was also "committed suicide in fear of crime" early because of his father's conspiracy, and even his maternal grandparents completely cut off relations with his father, and the thin and pale boy didn't react for a long time, and later fainted directly.

The old lady and the old lady in the seventh room of the Zhou family hugged the child tightly, the latter looked at her husband with red eyes, and the former looked up at Zhen Guogong.

Zhen Guogong's expression was very gentle: "Pity this child has suffered a lot, but he still does not change his innocence. Now the Du family is in a mess, and I'm afraid that no one can take care of him. What are the plans of the seventh brother? Do you want to take the child back first and ask a doctor to take a good look at it? ”

The old lady of the seventh room of the Zhou family nodded: "It's time to find a doctor to come and see what the child looks like?" I don't know how much I have suffered at the hands of the Sun family in the past two years. He didn't have a good father, and he had to be affected by Du Boqin's future, and he didn't know what would happen in the future. He called me grandfather, and I couldn't leave him alone. ”

He personally picked up Du Qi, and his old wife followed him closely and left together.
