Originally, in this family, his status was the highest. He was young and clever. After his parents sent him to school, he studied hard and was admitted to Tongsheng, and later became a scholar.
In fact, ever since he showed his learning ability, Qi Qingfeng's status in the family began to rise in a straight line. After he was admitted as a scholar, it was even different. It is not an exaggeration to say that one is the same at home.
Qi Qingfeng has always been very proud of his identity, he feels that he is different from his family members, especially his teachers in the school have praised his homework, saying that if he takes the exam next year, he will definitely pass the exam. It is impossible to say that the position of the head of the case is possible.
Knowing that the future of the family depends on him, Qi Qingfeng is even more proud. He feels that everyone should treat him no matter what. He always thinks that he is the most powerful and special one in the family.
But now when he knew that his second brother, whom he had always looked down upon, might be the prime minister's son, dense jealousy rose from the bottom of his heart uncontrollably—how could such a person be the prime minister's son? If it was him...
As soon as this thought came up, it was suppressed by Qi Qingfeng. He thought of Wang Zhaodi who was still in prison, and thought of his gloomy future. How could he be jealous of him
"Second brother, something happened at home."
Before Qi Qingfeng brought people over, he had already explained to them that none of them would speak, and everything was left to him to handle, so after meeting Qi Wang, no one else spoke, and it was all up to Qi Qingfeng to follow Hurricane exchange.
Liu Jiaming has been watching Qi Huang secretly.
They are all from the same village, and the age difference is not very big, but because Qi Erzhu went to work in the restaurant in the county early, they didn't have much contact with each other, even if Liu Jiaming married Qi Siniang, there was no relationship between them. Met several times.
Liu Jiaming didn't have a deep impression of Qi Erzhu, the second uncle, but only remembered that he was very good-looking and had an unruly temper, but he was very honest and filial.
The appearance of the Qi family is actually not good-looking, but it can't be said to be ugly, it can only be said to be ordinary, with no bright spots, basically the same as the people in the village.
But Qi Erzhu is different, his appearance is very outstanding, even the dusty commoner clothes can hardly hide his appearance, even if he is uneducated and speaks vulgarly, with this good skin and that stable job, there are people in the village Many girls like him.
If Wang Zhaodi was willing to let him marry a wife before, she would definitely not worry about not being able to marry a wife.
Before today, no one doubted Qi Erzhu's identity, nor did Liu Jiaming. After all, although Qi Erzhu didn't look like a member of the Qi family, there was no one as outstanding as him within a radius of ten miles, and Wang Zhaodi was honest and responsible. , the appearance is also mediocre, if there is really an outstanding man, how can you fall in love with him
However, no matter how rich Liu Jiaming's imagination was, he never imagined that Qi Erzhu was not a child of the Qi family, and Wang Zhaodi was so bold as to exchange his own child with the prime minister's son.
The person who can pass the Tongsheng exam will not be a fool. Although this matter has not been completely settled, Liu Jiaming feels that the truth is almost inseparable. Qi Erzhu is really the son of the prime minister.
What Qi Qingfeng said was right, they had to prepare for the worst, if this was true, they had no other choice, the only thing they could count on was Qi Erzhu.
He is the most filial person, if the prime minister really wants to investigate, maybe he can help to talk, so Wang Zhaodi will not suffer from prison.
"Although my mother was confused and exchanged two children, she has treated my second brother very well all these years, and my second brother has always treated my mother as his own mother. This kind of affection is not fake. Yes, it may be able to offset her unintentional mistakes many years ago."
However, Liu Jiaming didn't take Qi Qingfeng's words seriously.
Qi Qingfeng's words seem reasonable at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, you can find the loopholes in it. If this is true, can the life of the prime minister's son and the farmer's son be the same
He is a good young master from a wealthy official family, but because of Wang Zhaodi's 'confusion', he has become a peasant. Even if Wang Zhaodi treats him well, how good can it be? To put it bluntly, the good life she can give others may not be as good as the lives of the servants of the prime minister's mansion.
No wonder Qi Dazhu married Zhang Luozhu at the age of seventeen, and now he has three children. No wonder Wang Zhaodi has never let go to marry Qi Erzhu a wife. Presumably, it is because she has a bad heart and dare not casually match a peasant girl to the prime minister. .
In fact, Liu Jiaming was a little flustered as to whether Qi Qingfeng could persuade Qi Huang. He put himself in his shoes and thought about it. No matter how deep the relationship was before, it will turn into hatred the moment the truth is known.
The reason why Liu Jiaming didn't leave was because he wanted to see how the follow-up would be. If Qi Erzhu didn't hate or complain after knowing the truth, then this relative could continue to get along. If not...
Liu Jiaming's eyes flickered when he thought of his daughter-in-law who had just entered the house less than half a year ago.
Offending the prime minister's mansion, Wang Zhaodi will definitely go to jail, and Qi Qingfeng's imperial examination path will not be able to continue, and the Qi family who relies on Qi Qingfeng may not be able to gain power in this life.
Liu Jiaming actually still has feelings for Qi Siniang, so he is willing to take a gamble.
Qi Erzhu has always been filial, maybe this time he will compromise as before. After all, Wang Zhaodi has raised him for twenty years. Since she was able to change the child back then, knowing that this child is the son of an official family, she will definitely treat him. This child is very good. He has raised him for so many years, and his feelings are true.
Qi Erzhu would not be willing to do anything to Wang Zhaodi, he is a nostalgic person.
However, Liu Jiaming did not expect that Wang Zhaodi would be so bold as to replace the children of the two families, let alone that Qi Erzhu in front of him had already changed inside.
The real Qi Erzhu is no longer there, and the person who exists in this body now is Qi Huang. Qi Erzhu may forgive Wang Zhaodi and the Qi family for the sake of so many years of affection, but Qi Wang will not.
The original owner's life was ruined because of Wang Zhaodi's selfishness. He should have a bright future. In this life, I will have no worries about food and clothing, and be a happy rich man.
But everything was ruined. The original owner was killed by Qi Qingfeng, and his biological parents treated the enemy who killed him well for his sake. The members of the Qi family also skyrocketed and completely changed their appearance.
Why did he have to go through all this? What's wrong with him? He is not reconciled.
"Second brother, that's the way it is. You know in your heart how mother has treated you for so many years. Now we don't know the truth of all this. If mother really did it... then mother didn't do it on purpose. Don't blame me. How is mother?"
Qi Qingfeng said a lot, and moved them with emotion and reason, hoping that Qi Wang could understand Wang Zhaodi's love for his son.
In fact, he said a lot, most of them are nonsense, after all, there is only one meaning. I hope Qi Wang will not care about Wang Zhaodi's actions. After all, although Wang Zhaodi did something wrong, he is still good to him. Treat him like his own son and give him a good life. He shouldn't care about it so much. If he cares about it, it is unfilial and heartless.
In the past, Qi Erzhu was uneducated, and he had always respected scholars, so every time he went back, he was willing to take care of Qi Qingfeng, serve him like a little bookboy, and regard what he said as a standard, and never dared to read it. refute.
It can be said that the original owner gave Qi Qingfeng his heart and soul. All the money he earned was given to his family, which can be regarded as indirectly given to Qi Qingfeng, and he was very good to Qi Qingfeng from the beginning to the end. He never knew what the truth was. He treated Qi Qingfeng as his own younger brother, but what did Qi Qingfeng do
The original owner didn't know what Wang Zhaodi said to Qi Qingfeng, he only knew that he was standing on the boat heading for the capital, and it was Qi Qingfeng who pushed him off.
When falling into the water, the original owner saw Qi Qingfeng's eyes. When he looked at himself, he seemed to see some garbage. When he saw him fall into the water, he even showed a happy smile on his face.
It wasn't until long after his death that the original owner of the soul state knew the truth and saw what the Qi family had obtained through his real family, and then he understood why he was killed by Qi Qingfeng.
If he is alive, the prime minister's mansion will take him back, and the real Qi Erzhu will come back. If he is alive, he will remind the people of the prime minister's mansion all the time what kind of suffering their real children have encountered. The worse he behaves , the more vulgar it is, the more the people in the prime minister's mansion hate the people in the Qi family.
Can the Qi family bear the anger of the prime minister's mansion? The answer is obvious, they can't afford it.
Only when he, the real son of the prime minister, dies, the people in the prime minister's mansion will not get along with him day and night, will not see his misery, will not think of the sufferings he has encountered in these years, and Qi Erzhu has been raised by the prime minister's mansion for so many years , They already had feelings for a long time, and when the real son died, they would redouble their feelings for the adopted son.
If it weren't for the prime minister's mansion, the real Qi Erzhu would not have reached the pinnacle of life step by step and stood at the highest position of power.
His life was a tragedy from the beginning to the end, he was completely used by others, not even the bones remained, those people stepped on his bones and sat in high positions, no one thought of him in this world Such a person exists.
In the original plot, Qi Qingfeng committed a serious crime by killing the original owner, but no one suspected that it was him who did it. He successfully participated in the imperial examination, passed the Jinshi examination, and finally relied on the prime minister's mansion to achieve the status of the second rank. Location.
The two brothers of the Qi family became legends passed down by word of mouth during the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they became role models for countless scholars.
Those memories poured into Qi Wang's mind, and the hatred in his heart began to surge out. If it wasn't for his strong willpower, he might have been controlled by the remaining emotions of the original owner at this time.
"Is that right?"
As Qi Wang spoke, his eyes turned to the other people standing in front of him, his eyes swept over them, and he said lightly, "Do you all think so?"
Qi Baotian opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but thinking of what Qi Qingfeng explained before he came, he closed his mouth again, but he knew that the son he had raised for twenty years was not his own, but the son of the prime minister's family, Qi Baotian Feeling more and more uncomfortable.
Why is he the son of the prime minister's family
Compared with Qi Baotian, Qi Dazhu is much more impulsive. He was already jealous of this younger brother who is loved by his parents. Seeing him like this now, he couldn't help but said: "That's how things are. People don't talk about it all. After all, even if your mother made a mistake, you can’t blame her. You have eaten your mother’s milk and called your mother for twenty years. She is your mother. I can't look down on you either."
That's right, my younger brother has been raised in the village for twenty years. He is extremely dull, as stupid as a pig, and can't read a single word. Such a person, even the son of the prime minister's mansion, has already been raised and abandoned.
On the contrary, the younger brother raised in the prime minister's mansion will definitely be excellent in everything. Compared with him, Qi Wang is even more vulgar. People in the prime minister's mansion will definitely not look at him.
As for Liu Jiaming and Xu Changping, they are sons-in-law and outsiders, so naturally it is difficult to say anything, when Qi Wang looked over, they all avoided his gaze.
Qi Wang didn't take it seriously, although they avoided their eyes, but from the body movements of the two of them, Qi Wang could still see what they were thinking.
The members of the Qi family thought these two people were helpers, but in Qi Wang's view, they might not have the same heart with the Qi family.
"You don't need to tell me these things. The county magistrate will naturally judge the truth, and what's the use of you talking to me? I can't influence the progress of the case. If my mother really did those things, I'm just a Ordinary people, can you still expect me to rescue her in disregard of the country's laws?"
As he said that, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Qi Wang's face: "Besides, what do you guys think? If what happened this time is true, mother caused me to turn from a high-ranking official boy into a Ordinary people, in order to make a living, have to work in the back kitchen of a restaurant, and they are called and drank all day long. I can’t afford a dime of the money I earn, so I post all of it to Sanzhu. I didn't get a daughter-in-law, and I was living alone as a widow. It can be said that my life was ruined by her deliberate act of changing children. How can you think that such a person will forgive the person who has harmed me all my life?"
The faces of the members of the Qi family changed drastically, they never thought that Qi Wang would say such a thing, what else did they want to say, but Qi Wang no longer had any interest in continuing to chat with them.
"I don't have time to say anything to you here. It's getting late, and I still have work to do. Let's go first."
After saying this, Qi Wang didn't bother to say anything more to them, and turned around and went into the restaurant.
Looking at the back of his resolutely going, Qi Qingfeng felt chills in his heart.
This thing is not right, it shouldn't be like this, Qi Wang has always had a good personality, and he is devoted to his family, especially the relationship with his mother is the best, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is obedient, how could he change? Become like this
However, no matter how much Qi Qingfeng refused to believe it, this was the case, Qi Wang's words had been made very clear, and it was meaningless for them to continue to stay, they had no choice but to go back to Taohua Village in a bullock cart.
As soon as they arrived in the village, Liu Jiaming and Xu Changping said goodbye, and before the Qi family and his son could say anything, they left in a hurry.
Seeing the backs of the two of them leaving heartlessly, Qi Qingfeng's heart slowly turned cold.
He is not an idiot. On the contrary, Qi Qingfeng, who was admitted as a scholar and later became a second-rank official, is very smart. It is because of his smartness that he can see that the attitude of his two brothers-in-law is wrong. They seem to have given birth to other thought.
Qi Baotian had never experienced such a scene in his life, and he asked with some anxiety, "Third brother, what should we do?"
If Wang Zhaodi is really sentenced, their family will probably be drowned by saliva in the future.
Qi Qingfeng tried his best to calm himself down, and glanced at Qi Baotian who was crying. He suppressed his anger and said, "Go home first, the situation is not in a desperate situation, we still have a chance."
It doesn't matter, although Wang Zhaodi committed a crime, but the crime does not deserve death, it doesn't matter if Qi Wang can't get through here, there is still the child who was replaced.
What kind of family is the prime minister's mansion? They must be very attentive to their children's training. The child who was mistakenly carried into the prime minister's mansion must be very good. The prime minister is a civil servant. Cultivate the way to civil servants.
Literati attach great importance to reputation. A child who has been raised for 20 years has put a lot of effort into him. Human nature has weaknesses. The more you pay, the more reluctant you are to destroy it.
They will not let their carefully cultivated children have a mother who has been convicted of a crime. As long as they are concerned about this, Wang Zhaodi will not be sentenced.
As long as Wang Zhaodi is not sentenced, things will not be so troublesome.
"We all know what Qi Erzhu is like. A person like him is definitely not as good as the child raised by the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Prime Minister's Mansion will not give up on that child."
As long as they don't give up, they will have a chance. Even if the child doesn't recognize them, Qi Qingfeng thinks that with his own talent and learning, he can be admitted to Jinshi smoothly.
After being selected as a Jinshi, he can become an official. If the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion don't like him, at worst, he can just let him go. When the time comes, the sky will be high and the emperor will be far away, and the Prime Minister's Mansion will not deliberately embarrass him.
And he and the Qi family are one. If he is well, everyone in the Qi family will be well, and their life will not be too difficult.
Qi Qingfeng expressed all his analysis carefully, and after hearing his words, everyone's suspenseful hearts were completely relieved.
If this is the case, then it would be great, the prime minister has a good reputation, and he would not deliberately embarrass them if he thought about it.
