Chapter 942 The Illegitimate Child Storm

It is not unusual to have a child in the palace. What is strange is that this child is the nephew of Princess Ming, and the Han family has never heard of such a child before.

Good things don't go out, bad things travel thousands of miles. When Lu Xiu went to attend the birthday banquet of the Ling family of Xu Wu's family, Yuan Ying's wife Xiao asked her about it: "Everyone said that this child is the young master of your house? I don't know where it is in the ranking?"

Lu Xiu said with a smile: "It's just a rumor, our Han family has no children living abroad." Brother Hua was also living abroad at the time, but there was no dispute over Brother Hua's identity, so it didn't cause anyone to care.

Xiao Shi said with a look of surprise: "Can't you? I heard that this child looks a lot like the princess, and it's the identity that the princess herself admits."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Xiao also specifically asked Mrs. Tong, Cui Mo's daughter-in-law: "Mrs. Cui, your Weiqi must have seen this child in the palace. Does the child look like a princess?"

Mrs. Tong would not be a target for others: "it's just that people outside say what they say, does Mrs. Xiao really believe it?"

Xiao Shi's face was swept away and she couldn't bear it, but although Cui Mo's official position was not as high as his husband's, he was the confidant of the prince, and she couldn't help him. Xiao Shi said with a smile, "I don't think it's groundless." He just didn't know whether the child was from Han Jianming or Han Jianye.

In order to please Xiao Shi, the wife of the soldier of the Ministry of War also smiled and said: "Remember that the fourth young master of your mansion was also a companion to the prince who entered the palace directly." Now there is one more, it is nothing.

Seeing that Lu Xiu's face was not very good-looking, Mrs Tong smiled and said, "What are you talking about with no oil and no salt? Don't regret missing such a brilliant show later."

Lu Xiu stood up and walked to Ling Ruoyun's side and said, "Mrs. Xu, I'm a little uncomfortable, so let's go first."

Ling Ruoyun probably guessed what was going on without asking, but he didn't show any signs on his face, he just asked with a concerned look, "I asked the doctor to show you."

Lu Xiu shook his head and said, "No need, this is an old problem. There are ready-made medicines at home. Just go back and take two."

After leaving the Xu residence and getting on the carriage, Alan said softly, "Madam, don't pay attention to these people. They are just fed up and have nothing to do."

Lu Xiu leaned on the half-old Hu Lan sè pillow and said with a smile, "I don't care, I just hide in peace." She placed someone next to Han Jianye, knowing that there were no children left outside.

Looking at Lu Xiu's relaxed expression, Alan knew that if this child was really from the Han family, it could only be the eldest master's. Thinking of this, Alan hesitated again and said, "Madam, if this child is really the eldest man's, there is no reason to leave it outside and not bring him home." The eldest man is not a person who is afraid of his wife, and it is impossible for him to be let loose if he has children. outer.

Lu Xiu has no interest in caring about Han Jianming's private life: "Who knows this!" As long as it is not her husband's illegitimate child, it has nothing to do with her.

After lunch, Lu Xiu was ready to rest. As soon as I took off my coat, I heard Chun's mother say that Qiqi was back.

Lu Xiu was very surprised, and hurriedly put on his coat and walked out. Seeing Qiqi, Lu Xiu complained, "You haven't been over three months, how can you leave. If there is any urgent matter, you can send someone to let me know, and I will come to see you. If there is an accident, then you will not regret it. And." At the beginning of the month, Qiqi was diagnosed with pregnancy, more than a month.

Chang Shi was worried that Qi Qi would not be easy to raise like Ye Shi. Now that she was pregnant only a few months after getting married, Chang was completely relieved.

Qiqi also rushed over after hearing the news, and she felt ashamed when she heard Lu Xiu's words.

A bad thought appeared in Lu Xiu's mind: "You came out, does your mother-in-law know?" But don't run out regardless of Chang's objection.

Qiqi shook her head and said, "Mother-in-law went to my aunt's house and hasn't come back.

"Chang's daughter, Lian Wuqian, fell ill, and Chang went to see her daughter. If not, she would have attended Ling's birthday banquet today.

Lu Xiu said helplessly: "I'm already married, and I'm not sensible at all. Let your mother-in-law know that you will be unhappy when you walk around with your child." , she must not be happy.

Chang's is a very good mother-in-law. Qiqi didn't say that she didn't set any rules in the past, even if she didn't say a single word of heavy words, it was the same, Lu Xiucai didn't think about it that much.

Qiqi was also in a hurry, so she ignored it and came over: "Auntie, I have something to ask you." After speaking, she glanced at the maid in the room.

Lu Xiu waved the maid to withdraw, and then asked, "What's the urgency? You don't even care about the child in your belly."

Qiqi was a little excited, but also a little nervous: "I heard that the palace has a child, and he looks like an aunt? Aunt, is this true?"

Lu Xiu was a little puzzled and asked, "Even if this is true, it has nothing to do with you? What are you doing in such a hurry?" Even if this child is the uncle's illegitimate child, to Qiqi, it's just an extra concubine. Brother, don't be in such a hurry.

Qiqi asked in a mosquito-like voice, "Auntie, do you think he is my younger brother?" Ye Shi's last words before his death kept pressing on Qiqi's heart.

Only then did Lu Xiu realize that, strangely, he ran over to ask questions regardless of his body, so that was the case. Lu Xiu denied it without thinking, and said, "No."

Qiqi was a little anxious, grabbed Lu Xiu's sleeve and asked, "I asked my husband, and he said that the child named Ashin does look like my aunt. Aunt, he must be my brother."

Lu Xiu held Qiqi's hand and said, "Auntie didn't lie to you, that child can't be your brother." Seeing Qiqi's face in disbelief, Lu Xiu said, "The age is not right. Your brother is the same as Shizi. Born this year, he should be twelve years old this year, and this child named Ashin is only seven years old this year." This is also what she didn't think about in this regard.

Qi Qi lowered her eyes and said after a while, "Auntie, I heard that Adi was born prematurely, and premature babies are generally not in good health. Could it be that he looks thinner and aunt deliberately said his age to be small in order to hide people's eyes and ears? already?"

Lu Xiu said helplessly: "There is a five-year difference between the age of twelve and the age of seven, and it is not something that can be concealed by being thin." In order to prevent Qiqi from thinking about it, Lu Xiu continued: "Your brother is Xiaoqizi, you can't see the light. Qiqi, think about it calmly, as your younger brother, do you think the princess will bring him to the palace for upbringing?" You don't need to think about it to know that it's impossible.

The brilliance in Qiqi's eyes slowly faded. After a while, he said, "Auntie, I didn't expect A-di to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan. I just wanted to take him to A-Niang's grave to kowtow." This is what Ye Shi asked her to do before she died, and she could not do it. Don't do it.

In order to prevent Qiqi from being stupid, Lu Xiu said, "Qiqi, have you ever thought about it, if you tell him to know his identity, what should he do if he wants to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors?"

Seeing Qiqi lowered her head, Lu Xiu sighed and said, "It's better not to let him know his identity. This way, it's good for everyone."

Qiqi clenched her hands tightly, and said with a painful expression: "But I promised my mother that I must bring my brother to the grave."

At that time, Ye Shi was sick to death, and she couldn't say anything about her excessive demands. After that, she wouldn't take the initiative to mention it. But now it seems that some things have to be said.

Lu Xiu said bluntly: "Qiqi, once the matter of filial piety breaks out, your father's career is likely to be interrupted, and even the princess may also be affected. At that time, the eldest master hates you, and the princess blames you. What are you going to do?" In fact, even if Xiao Qizi's incident broke out, it wouldn't have anything to do with Oak Xi, at most he was criticized for a few words. Lu Xiu deliberately said seriously, to dispel the idea of ​​Qiqi looking for that child.

Qiqi's face changed slightly. She is living so well in her husband's family now, except for her mother-in-law Chang's good relationship, the most important thing is to have a reliable family and a powerful aunt. If she was rejected by her father and aunt, she couldn't imagine what situation she would be in.

She said everything she needed to say, and Lu Xiu said, "Think about it for yourself!"

Qiqi's tears fell: "Auntie, what do you think I should do?" It's not right, I feel uneasy if I don't.

Lu Xiu didn't want to say more, but when she saw Qiqi's appearance, her heart softened: "The most important thing for you now is to take care of your baby, don't think too much about other things." No matter how much more, she couldn't say it easily. No matter how wrong Mrs Ye is, she is also Qiqi's mother, no one wants to hear others say that her own mother is not.

When Qiqi calmed down, he went back.

Lu Xiu rubbed his temples and said, "Sister-in-law is really..." In this situation, how could the child know his identity and force Qiqi to find it, which is equivalent to forcing Qiqi to oppose the eldest master. She cheated her husband hard, and she even cheated her daughter before she died.

Seeing this, Chun's mother couldn't help but ask, "Madam, what's the matter?" It was embarrassing to know.

"Qiqi thought that the child in the palace was her own younger brother." Chun's mother knew about the child, so Lu Xiu did not shy away from it.

Chun's mother didn't know what to say: "How can you think like this, aunt nǎinǎi?" The age difference between the two was so big, it was impossible.

Lu Xiu let out a sigh of relief and said, "That child is also difficult to do." Before she died, Mrs. Ye forced Qi Qi to swear that she must find the child.

Want Lu Xiu to say, Ye Shi is also a talent. The mother-in-law is easy to talk, and the husband is not a concubine to destroy his wife, she can toss herself to that point.

Chun's mother said: "Madam, don't worry about this." This kind of thing is not good at all, but if you are not careful, you will fall and complain.

"I also feel sorry for Qiqi's child." Qiqi was also obedient and obedient, otherwise she would not care.

Oak-hee also knew about the rumors about Ashin's identity, but she didn't take it to heart. The best way to deal with rumors is to ignore it, deal with it coldly, and wait for the novelty of everyone to pass.

Yun Qing's opinion is different from Yuxi's: "We can't hide this, we have to tell Ashin." After a pause, Yunqing said, "Ashin doesn't know the identity of his uncle, and he has been raised in the house all these years. Zili. He heard this rumor, and he would definitely believe it." His parents were in Liaodong, and he grew up with his grandfather in Beijing since he was a child. For this reason, he was said to be a wild child who had no mother and father. At that time, he was very angry and beat the other party to the ground. Thinking that his parents were all angry at being told that, and Ashin didn't know his background, it would be even more sad to hear this rumor.

Yuxi was a little ashamed and said, "Uncle gave Ashin to me, but I neglected to take care of it." If Yunqing hadn't reminded her, she would have really ignored the impact of this on Ashin.

Yun Qing didn't blame Yu Xi: "There are too many things, so you don't have time to take care of them."

Negligence is negligence. Oak-hee didn't make any excuses for himself: "Fortunately, you reminded me in time, and I'll tell Ashin about it later." This kind of thing must be handled in time, otherwise it will be very detrimental to the child's growth.

After washing up the next day, Yuxi told Meilan, "Go and tell Brother You and let him bring Ashin over for breakfast." Like Brother Hua, Ashin was reluctant to come to the main courtyard for breakfast. . I also know that the eight members of Oakxi's family were happily dining, and it would be awkward for him to be an outsider.

After breakfast, Oak-hee brought Ashin into the study and told him the rumors outside.

After hearing this rumor, Ashin's hands kept shaking. He was locked in the house all these years and couldn't go out, no one knew how lonely he was. And during this time in the palace, Brother You took care of him a lot, Qi Hao and Zao Zao also treated him as a younger brother, and he lived happily every day. He was afraid, he was afraid that Oak Xi hated him because of this rumor and drove him out of the palace.

"Axin, if Auntie told you that the rumors outside were false, would you believe it?" Fortunately, Yun Qing reminded him, otherwise the child would not know how sad he would be when he heard the rumors outside.

Ashin clenched his fist and said, "I believe it."

Oak Xi weighed it in her heart and said, "Ashin, you are your father's only son."

Hearing this, Ashin was stunned: "Am I my father's only direct son?"

Although he has never had contact with the outside world, the woman around him will tell him about the outside world. As for Mr., it is naturally a question of teaching. The more you know, the more you think about it.

Ever since he was sensible, Ashin has thought about his identity. He also felt that he was likely to be an outsider, and he was an outsider who was not tolerated by the main room. Otherwise, why would his father hide him.

Yu Xin sighed: "The environment your father is in is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will be killed. In order to protect you, he hid you. Ashin, your father is also forced to do it, don't blame it. Is he okay?"

It's too late for Ah Xin to feel pain, so how could he be blamed. Instead, he regrets it now that he didn't talk to his father much at that time.

After being silent for a while, Ashin said, "Aunt, can you let my father come back and stop him from staying in that dangerous place." He didn't want to be an orphan without a father or mother.

Yu Xi smiled bitterly and said, "Auntie can't do anything about this." Seeing the tears in Ashin's eyes, Yu Xi's heart softened and said, "Up to five years, within five years, Aunt will definitely let you reunite with your father."

Ashin nodded and said, "Auntie, I understand." (To be continued)
