"What you mean is that the concubine who murdered you and your sister gave birth to a son not long ago. Although this concubine was executed, my father-in-law liked your brother very much and specially gave him to your father-in-law to raise." Shen Shuyan He looked at Wen Zhiqi with strange eyes and said, "And now your father wants you to go back. You are afraid that you won't know how to treat this younger brother if you go back... and you are afraid that you will make your father unhappy if you don't go back... Why do you come to ask me about this kind of thing?" ?”
Wen Zhi, who was standing at the bottom with his chin almost lowered to his chest, said with great shame: "I don't know what to do now. Mrs. Wei said this is a family matter of my family and let me make my own decision."
"Since my third aunt let you think for yourself, why did you come to me?" Shen Shuyan's mouth twitched and she picked up the tea bowl and asked.
At noon today, Shen Shuxie sneaked into the sixth room, found her, grabbed her sleeve and pulled her out, saying that he wanted her to play with him. Shen Shuyan thought that her cousin was skipping classes as usual, so she threatened him... but Shen Shuxie whispered in her ear, saying that he had asked him to come to invite Shen Shuyan, saying that he had something important to ask for advice.
Shen Shuyan was both curious and conceited - someone like her relied on her talent and talent, and it was best to be a teacher. So when she heard that Wen Zhiqi wanted to "ask for advice" from her, she sent the rest of the people and came over with only Jiang Heyue.
I thought Wen Zhiqi would give me such complicated homework, but I didn't expect him to talk about it for a long time. It was all about family matters!
Although Shen Shuyan is arrogant, she is not a fool. Even her third aunt, Wei Changying, refuses to express her position. Why is she in this troubled waters
Wen Zhiqi saw that she meant to serve tea to the guests, and hurriedly begged: "I'm stupid, and my sister doesn't know much about this. I've thought about it, and you are the smartest among the people I know here... Can you teach me something?" Teach me, what should I do now? Or what should I do when I go back?"
"Do you really want to go back?" Shen Shuyan put down the tea bowl. Although she didn't want to meddle in this nosy matter, she couldn't help but sneer at this moment, "Do you know why my father gave your younger brother to your father's care?"
"Previously, this younger brother's biological mother killed my brother, and then my sister and I, so my father wanted him to take the place of his biological mother and fulfill his filial piety at the mother's knees to make amends..." Wen Zhiqi truthfully recounted the words of the person who conveyed the message.
Shen Shuyan said mockingly: "You and your sister are still alive, right?"
Wen Zhiqi was stunned and said: "Huh?"
"Ah what!" Shen Shuyan yelled with hatred, "Your Majesty still has one of your sons and one daughter alive, but we need a bastard to serve as a filial son?! This bastard's biological mother even killed three of your brothers and two and poisoned her. Three people almost died! Can you use your brain?"
Wen Zhiqi said cautiously: "But my sister and I are not with our mother now..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Heyue, who was standing on one side holding his breath and concentrating, gave a "chick" and laughed out loud!
"Master Wen, please think about it. Your younger brother-in-law was born just now, and it's not like he can grow up in a blink of an eye. What kind of filial piety can he perform now? Doesn't he have to be taken good care of by your father-in-law?" Jiang Heyue saw that Shen Shuyan had no intention of stopping her, so she boldly smiled and said, "Besides, isn't your father asking you to go back with Miss Wen now? How can you not be filial to your father when you go back with Miss Wen?"
Wen Zhiqi murmured: "Well...does my father want my sister and me to go back and help my mother take care of this younger brother?"
Although he was honest, there was a look of hesitation on his face at the moment.
Shen Shuyan and Jiang Heyue looked at each other and sighed - the young man from this small family was too honest and honest. I guess it was because he was the youngest son. After hearing about Yaozi's uprising, his three brothers Following his father to fight in various places, he and his sister were left with their mother Qiu, hiding in the countryside and never seeing the world.
Even though Wen Yaozi has become king now, Wen Zhiqi, the so-called prince, still has no title and no city government and recognition corresponding to the prince's status.
... At this moment, this young man still thinks of himself as the poor boy who ran around barefoot in Chishu Ridge in the past!
Shen Shuyan patiently asked, "What is your current status? How can you not even afford a few maids and wives? Do you still need you and your sister to go back and help to take care of your concubine?" Think about the reasons for this yourself!”
Wen Zhiqi said in confusion: "Yes, why is this?"
Both Shen Shuyan and Jiang Heyue were defeated by him... After a long while, Shen Shuyan said, "Have you ever thought about your majesty's mood at this moment?"
"Mother, she... must be... feeling... very unhappy." Wen Zhiqi pursed her lips, looked up at her hastily, and then lowered her head, "But my father has decided so, and I think my mother can only do it. Bar."
Although he has not yet adapted to the change in status, he also knows that his father is no longer what he used to be.
In the past, when their family was living with He Lele in the countryside of Yong County, it was not impossible for Qiu to scold Wen Yaozi behind closed doors. But now that Wen Yaozi has become King Yong, he doesn't know many Chinese characters. When he was young, he was only known to be beautiful in a few villages. How can the Qiu family, who has grown old and faded in appearance, defy Wen Yaozi
Shen Shuyan calmed down and said, "Is it that simple? You, my concubine's biological mother, have tricked the three of you brothers and sisters into this situation. Doesn't your mother feel uncomfortable? Let me put it bluntly, I would be your mother instead. , I will never allow my concubine to live! "
Wen Zhiqi suddenly looked at her in surprise!
Shen Shuyan frowned and said: "What is your look? Do you think I am too vicious? Don't you know that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself? Your brother died tragically on the spot! Based on this, the concubine died Eight hundred times is not an exaggeration - if this happened in a family like ours, no one from the boss to the servants would disapprove of beating that concubine to death on the spot!"
Wen Zhiqi subconsciously said: "Then what's in her belly..."
"What's so rare about a concubine giving birth to an heir?" Shen Shuyan suddenly stopped talking, looked at the distance not far away for a moment, showed a hint of complexity, then smiled coldly, with a layer of venom on her delicate face, and said, " Let me tell you directly, the reason why your father-in-law gave your concubine to your father-in-law to raise him is to save his life. Why should he make atonement for his filial piety on behalf of his biological mother... Let me put it bluntly, your father-in-law is too shameless. !”
Wen Zhiqi couldn't help but said: "Miss Shen Si! You..."
"I shouldn't say anything bad about your father in front of you." There are no elders around now, and Wen Zhiqi's temper is relatively soft. Shen Shuyan is not afraid of him, and said mockingly, "Think about it for your father: two Your biological son died and was poisoned. You are lucky to be fine! But do you know that your sister will not be able to have children in the future? My third aunt cannot bear to tell her this. In this case, your father will do it for you! For my concubine’s sake, what’s the difference between this and stabbing your father in the heart with a knife?”
Wen Zhiqi's face changed drastically, he clenched his fists and shouted angrily: "You said my sister...?"
"You'd better not tell her that even Divine Doctor Ji can't do anything about it. What you told her will do nothing but increase her sorrow! It's better to let her live a relaxed life for a few years!" Shen Shuyan snorted, "You're a silly boy. With your temperament, you won't even know how you died when you go back! I think you'd better go and beg my aunt to stay at our house for a while longer!"
Wen Zhiqi's face turned pale, and he stepped forward to stop Shen Shuyan who was about to leave, and said, "You said that my father is thinking about my concubine...?"
"Speaking of which, why don't you understand this?" Shen Shuyan, who had grown up with everyone since childhood, was really helpless and said in surprise, "You brothers and sisters have suffered such a big loss at the hands of your concubine's biological mother. No revenge? Even if she has no means, she will always be your father's wife, right? Even if you have benevolent intentions, you won't do this! But what about your other concubines?"
"The so-called tit for tat." Jiang Heyue covered her mouth and chuckled, and added in a clear voice for Shen Shuyan, "I heard that your concubine's biological mother can murder you and your brother and sister. From now on, other servants will I may not put my hands on my brother! Moreover, your brother-in-law’s biological mother is dead. Your brother-in-law is still a baby. How can you protect yourself? If your father-in-law loves him, you will never be able to take care of him yourself. Right? So your father-in-law handed him over to your father-in-law. Your father-in-law has a grudge against your concubine’s biological mother. If you don’t raise your brother-in-law well, he will be suspected of irritating the innocent baby... That’s why the fourth lady said, my father-in-law is such a person... "
Shen Shuyan hummed: "And if your father calls you back now, what do you think he thinks?"
"Could it be that my father is still worried about his younger brother being raised by my mother, and is determined to eradicate my sister and me?!" Wen Zhiqi clenched his fists tightly, and after a long time, he asked with a trembling voice!
"... You think too much about this." Shen Shuyan raised her hand and plucked her hair from her temples, smiled sweetly at him and said, "I think you are not bothering your father now. You suffered a loss in the previous matter, so your father should not be in trouble." To deal with you for a concubine. I guess your father's idea is to call you back and teach you something to show your respect... After all, your father has suffered so much, so he should do something. No? Now you have to raise your younger brother."
After seeing and hearing Qi Qi didn't say anything, she continued, "But I still don't agree with you going back. Of course, I can only tell you this in private. Do you believe it or not? I won't even admit that I am out of here." I've given you some advice - I think your grandma is similar to you, both honest and honest people. How can you compete with those concubines who are obsessed with trying to get you and your son to climb up the ladder? Especially now that your grandma has to raise your younger brother, I'm afraid he is alone. I am too busy with this matter, so how can I take care of you brothers and sisters? Do you think my father will protect you?"
She shook her head and said, "Although if you stay in our house, you will definitely become estranged from your father, but at least no one in our family will harm you... Of course, this is your Wen family's business, you can see for yourself."
After saying that, Shi Shi left! (To be continued)
