"Ah Qi, I'll be home soon, don't be nervous, your father and your elder brother are very good people, they will welcome you back."
Lin Qinshuang was afraid that Qi Wang would have a psychological burden, so on the way back she kept telling him that Qi Yuanhang and Qi Nuo were good, and told him not to be afraid to get along with them.
Qi Wang just smiled, noncommittal to what she said.
In this world, some people value blood relationship, and some people value relationship. Obviously, Lin Qinshuang cares about blood relationship, but Qi Yuanhang and Qi Nuo, Qi Huang can't guarantee it.
After all, in the original plot, after the truth of this incident came to light, those two people still spared no effort to help Qi Erzhu, and even Qi Sanzhu ascended to heaven because of them, and finally sat in the position of fourth-rank Dali Temple Minister.
Qi Wang didn't think that this could be done with the strength of Lin Qinshuang, a woman from the back house. If it wasn't for the help of Qi Yuanhang and Qi Nuo, it would have been impossible to get to this point with the help of those two powerless brothers .
However, in the original plot, the original owner was killed on the way to Beijing. The prime minister’s family may think that the mistake was an accident. In addition, the results of the investigation showed that the Qi family treated the original owner well, and their feelings for Qi Erzhu would not be the same. Help is also normal.
Now many things are different from the original plot. He is still alive, and the truth that Wang Zhaodi deliberately replaced the two children has also been exposed. How will they choose
"Ah Qi, Ah Qi?"
Seeing that Qi Wang seemed to be lost in thought, Lin Qinshuang couldn't help becoming anxious, and couldn't help calling him a few words. Qi Wang came back to his senses, looked up at Lin Qinshuang, and saw her face showing a smile. Qi Wang blinked his eyes and said in a warm voice, "Mother, I'm fine, don't worry."
Lin Qinshuang sighed, her brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't say anything.
In fact, she was also worried, but it was not easy to show it in front of Qi Wang. The child finally came home, and was raised by that sweetheart outside for so many years. I am afraid that he has no sense of belonging to the prime minister's mansion. He didn't say anything today, but Lin Qinshuang could feel that this child still didn't regard himself as a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was like a stranger wandering outside, he knew that he was a child of the Prime Minister's Mansion, But that's all.
Wanting to warm up this heart is not a matter of one day, as their parents, they have lost the most important twenty years of his life, and I am afraid that it will take a thousand times a hundred times more effort to warm up his heart.
But it is already very good now, the child has returned to her side, there is still a long time in the future, enough for him to slowly accept his new identity, and the relatives who should have gotten along well, but have missed him for twenty years .
The carriage passed through the bustling avenue, and finally stopped at Suzaku Street in the east of the city. Not far ahead, there was a majestic vermilion palace wall, and the glazed tiles shone golden in the sunlight.
Just from the location of the prime minister's mansion, we can see Qi Yuanhang's position in the heart of today's sage. The people who can live in this area are either rich or noble. Even if the prime minister's mansion is among the mansions of these princes and nobles of.
The carriage didn't stop outside the mansion, and entered the prime minister's mansion directly from the main entrance. After reaching the open area of the backyard, Qi Wang got out of the carriage first, and then stretched out his hand to help Lin Qinshuang off the carriage.
They have been on the road these days, Lin Qinshuang's health is not very good, and the exhaustion of the boat made her very tired. When she got off the carriage, she was a little unsteady and her body shook uncontrollably.
Although Qi Wang is Lin Qinshuang's son, he is an adult man, so it is not easy to support her for a long time. Fortunately, Madam Xu came to support Lin Qinshuang in time. She leaned on Madam Xu's body for a while, After she regained her strength, Lin Qinshuang handed over the work of tidying things up to Nanny Xu, and she led Xiao Zhang towards the yard where she lived.
Walking through the garden and winding corridors, they soon arrived outside Qingjiang Garden. A little girl had already come to report the letter earlier. When they came back, they saluted together.
"Greetings, madam."
Lin Qinshuang ignored their greetings, pointed to Qi Wang who was standing beside her, and said calmly, "This is the Second Young Master."
The servants didn't mention how shocked they were when they heard the words, but they were well-trained, and quickly adjusted their expressions, and saluted Qi Huang respectfully.
"Greetings to the second young master."
Qi Wang, who lived in the village since he was a child, was obviously not used to being bowed down by more than 30 people to pay his respects. There was a little panic on his face, and he took a step back involuntarily.
Seeing this, Lin Qinshuang raised her hand to hold Qi Wang's hand, and said with a smile, "Ah Qi, you will see this kind of scene every day from now on, you have to get used to it early."
As she said that, Lin Qinshuang looked at Qi Wang encouragingly, and motioned for him to let these people get up, Qi Wang hesitated for a moment, and said with a little lack of momentum: "You guys get up."
The servants stood up one after another, but their heads were still lowered, not daring to look at Qi Wang.
Seemingly infused with courage by this scene, Qi Wang felt much better than the nervousness and discomfort just now, a little smile appeared on his face, and his expression relaxed a lot.
Lin Qinshuang patted his hand and led him into the room.
The servants guarding outside exchanged glances with each other, all confused by what just happened.
No, where did the second young master come from? Judging by Madam's attitude towards him, it seems that she is a bit too intimate, and there is also a faint hint of flattery.
This is too weird, obviously the wife is already the wife of the prime minister, and the first-rank wife appointed by the emperor, even in the face of the current princess, she can stand upright, there is no need to please the other party.
What's going on now
However, no matter what the servants thought, they couldn't talk about the master's affairs, and soon they were busy with their duties.
For the original owner, the life in the prime minister's mansion is completely different from the previous days. If the original owner was here, he thought that he should have lived a life of brocade clothes, but he suffered for twenty years in Taohua Village. Qi Erzhu replaced his life, and even after his tragic death, relying on his family and family members, he stepped into a high position step by step.
No wonder the original owner was so unwilling, no matter who experienced such a thing, he would not be reconciled.
In fact, after going through so many tasks, Qi Wang actually probably understood that he would come—no matter how a person changes, his IQ and ability will not change. If they can do it all over again, all they have is to know the opportunity Such a golden finger is nothing more than that, but things are changing all the time. If they change one thing, then their "prophet" can no longer be used. Who can guarantee that they will win
Just like this world, the original owner is just a rural boy who has never been to school and can't read a single word. His IQ and ability can't make him break this situation. He wants to change everything, so he has paid enough After paying the price, Qi Wang arrived.
In fact, in a sense, Qi Wang is actually equivalent to a cheat invited by the commissioner.
The servants were very dedicated to serving him, and under Lin Qinshuang's constant comfort, Qi Wang also slowly relaxed.
It was mid-afternoon when they came back, not long after the men of the Qi family came back from get off work, and not long after the mother and son rested, Xu Chengjun hurried over to pay his respects.
"Mother, come back..."
However, before Xu Chengjun could finish his sentence, his eyes glanced at the man sitting next to Lin Qinshuang inadvertently, and the rest of the words got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't speak anymore.
It was a man who was very similar to his husband, but he was younger, and the outline between his eyebrows and eyes was softer, and he did not have the cold temperament of his husband.
This is a man who can be mistaken for Qi Nuo at first glance, but he is unmistakable at a closer look.
Who is he? How could he sit with Lin Qinshuang
Various thoughts emerged in Xu Chengjun's mind, even though she has always been calm, she was a little at a loss at this moment.
Lin Qinshuang smiled and said, "Cheng Jun, this is your second younger brother. He will live in the mansion from now on. You should take care of him more."
Now that Qi Yuanhang and Qi Nuo have not returned, Lin Qinshuang is not going to disclose Qi Wang's identity first, she wants to introduce him to the people in the mansion more grandly, so that everyone knows that he is the prime minister's mansion The real second young master.
Seeing that Lin Qinshuang only vaguely mentioned the identity of this person, and didn't even mention his real name, although Xu Chengjun felt a little strange, he didn't continue to investigate further, but talked about the time when Lin Qinshuang was away. what happened at home.
"Yanran was seriously ill from embarrassment. Mrs. Shangshu sent two maids and a nun to take care of her. The situation seems to be better now..."
In the past, Lin Qinshuang still cared about Qin Yanran's daughter-in-law very much. Before she knew she was pregnant, she ordered others to take care of her more, but this time when she mentioned that Qin Yanran was seriously ill, Lin Qinshuang behaved very calmly. She didn't seem to care about Qin Yanran.
This is not right.
Xu Chengjun hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Mother, don't you go to see Yanran? Maybe after seeing you, she can eat more."
Lin Qinshuang waved her hand, and said nonchalantly, "Forget it, I'm not a doctor, she has someone to take care of her, and it won't be of much use if I go, not to mention I just came back now, so it's not suitable to see her, wait Let's talk about it later."
After Qi Wang's identity is revealed, the son is not his own, let alone this daughter-in-law? Moreover, Lin Qinshuang actually felt a little guilty in her heart, not knowing how to face Qin Yanran.
Although they did not intend to change the child, they are also victims, but after this incident is exposed, it is absolutely impossible for their family to keep Qi Wang. As Qi Wang's wife, Qin Yanran naturally cannot stay. A good concubine of the Shangshu Mansion, but married to a farmer...
All of this can only be said to be God's will, they are all victims, Lin Qinshuang regrets what happened to Qin Yanran, but if to protect her and treat everything as if it never happened, and let Qi Huang continue to be the second son of the prime minister's mansion, Lin Qinshuang couldn't do it.
***
When it was time to get off work, the three men from the Qi family returned to the Qi mansion one after another. Qi Yuanhang and Qi Nuo knew the news that Lin Qinshuang had returned with a man immediately—because Lin Qinshuang had sent someone to wait at the mansion for a long time. At the door, after seeing their father and son, they were immediately invited to Qingjiang Garden.
Qi Wang was going to come back a little later, and when he learned that his mother was back, Qi Wang was very happy, but he went back to his yard to stay with Qin Yanran for a while before going to Qingjiang Garden.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Qi Wang realized that something was wrong. The servants looked at him with other things in their eyes, which made people feel uneasy, but their eyes just glanced over, but never in Qi Wang Stay on his body more, so that he can't find a reason to ask questions even if he wants to.
Holding this uneasiness, Qi Wang walked into the lobby.
Qi Yuanhang and Qi Nuo had already arrived first, and they also pressed the child brought back from Lishui County by Lin Qinshuang. All the suspicions they had had were completely dispelled when they saw the real person standing in front of them.
Qi Wang's appearance is very similar to Qi Nuo's, and his eyebrows and eyes are also similar to Qi Yuanhang and Lin Qinshuang's. Anyone who looks at them will know that they are a family.
Qi Nuo originally thought that he would not have any feelings for this younger brother whom he had never met, but when he saw the other's eyebrows and eyes similar to his own, he found that he took it for granted.
This is the younger brother of my own mother, a brother who is connected with him by blood, and blood is a very strange thing. I have never been with each other, but after seeing each other, I have a very familiar feeling. I took it for granted before Those things fell apart very quickly.
Qi Nuo's face turned red because of shame, thinking of what he had sworn to his father before, Qi Nuo was filled with deep regret, and at the same time understood why his father would disappoint him at that time.
Does blood relationship matter
He used to think that feelings are more important than blood, but now he feels that blood and feelings are equally important.
The same is true for Qi Yuanhang.
No wonder Lin Qinshuang didn't doubt Qi Huang's identity. With this appearance, it was hard for others to doubt her, but compared to the agitated Qi Nuo, Qi Yuanhang was calmer.
And after such a brief conversation, Qi Wang also had a deeper understanding of Qi Yuanhang and Qi Nuo.
They may not have deep feelings for him, but these two are upright people, and it is expected that the matter of getting him and Qi Erzhu to return to their respective positions will go very smoothly.
A quarter of an hour later, Qi Wang saw the Qi Erzhu who replaced the original owner's life, but now, he is called Qi Wang.
This also explains why Qi Erzhu's entrusting task fell into Qi Wang's hands. If nothing wrong happened, the original owner's name should be Qi Wang, but he was Qi Erzhu until his death, and the name Qi Wang was always the same. Occupied by the real Qi Erzhu.
But now, he should return the stolen life to the original owner.
Qi Erzhu walked into the lobby and saw the people in the lobby, Qi Yuanhang, Lin Qinshuang, Qi Nuo, Xu Chengjun, they were all family members that Qi Erzhu knew and was familiar with, but the only one standing by Lin Qinshuang was a strange man.
However, when he saw the man's face, Qi Erzhu suddenly fell into a huge panic. His hands and feet were cold, and the blood all over his body seemed to be frozen, making him unable to take a step forward.
At this moment, Qi Erzhu felt like an intruder who didn't fit in, he didn't seem to belong to this world, they were a family, and he was just a sudden destroyer.
"Father, mother, elder brother, elder sister-in-law."
What Qi Erzhu didn't know was that when he yelled these names, his throat was very dry. He was obviously just used to yelling, but now it became very difficult to yell. A fine layer of sweat came out.
His father, mother, elder brother and sister-in-law, who were originally kind to him, looked at him a little differently this time, and Qi Erzhu became more and more flustered.
"Father, I..."
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, what should come will come, Qi Yuanhang decided to spread everything out.
"Zidan, you are not our child."
If Qi Erzhu was struck by lightning, his eyes widened in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what he heard, he was not the child of his parents, how could it be possible? He clearly, he clearly...
After that, Qi Yuanhang told about Wang Zhaodi's replacement of two children, and finally said: "Zi Dan, I know all this is difficult for you to accept, but it is the fact that your mother is not at home these days just to deal with this thing, and he is brought back by your mother, our real child."
The sudden knowledge of the truth had a great impact on Qi Erzhu. He was a little dazed and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but after a while, he still didn't say anything.
Qi Yuanhang said that Wang Zhaodi deliberately changed him to their house, and Wang Zhaodi has treated their children very badly these years. They cannot accept that the son of a woman who maliciously changed their children lives in the prime minister's mansion, so now he wants to let everything All to you.
"I know all of this has nothing to do with you, but it is impossible for us to keep you."
