"Tenth brother's illegitimate son who is living outside the home?" Yun Fenghuang frowned, "Is this... true or false? Although there are no concubines in the tenth brother's backyard, but... shouldn't he be someone who can raise an illegitimate child?"
She knew her brother well. After all, at this time, he was born into a wealthy family and his family was relatively well-off. It was just a matter of fate to be together for the rest of his life.
After all, most men have three wives and four concubines. Yun Fenghuang, who has been taught by Jiang since he was a child, does not attach great importance to the love of his children. Although he does not like to let down those who are unlucky, he does not care about the wives and concubines of his brothers. Well, as long as it's not about doting on concubines and destroying wives, she doesn't bother to care.
It's just that Jiang taught her daughter to be attentive and didn't let her sons be loose.
The four brothers Xie Xishi all married women from the same family. Based on Jiang's discernment, Yun Fenghuang's sisters-in-law were all born as legitimate daughters who could be called virtuous and virtuous.
Although there are many concubines in the backyard, the main wife never loses her dignity.
Things like the situation where little Luo Shi from the second bedroom had a quarrel with her husband over the birth of their child and had to reconcile it with her young daughter had never happened in the fourth bedroom.
Mainly because of Jiang's hints and example, no matter what they think in their hearts, their sons and daughters-in-law are getting along well in public.
What's more, the eldest son and even the eldest daughter of the four brothers Xie Xishi are all the children of the head wife. The head wife's current and future status and interests are fully guaranteed, and she does not bother to openly suppress and bully the children of the common people and harm her own reputation and that of her children.
Therefore, in Yun Fenghuang's impression, although her brothers are not the kind of masters who keep their integrity, besides the main wives at home, they also have a number of concubines. When they go out and go to the flowery streets and willow alleys, they have many good friends, but... they have never been There has never been any illegitimate child incident
"The prince-in-law didn't believe it at first. You know, the prince-in-law and the tenth young master are a little different in age, and they didn't play together in the past." The visitor said cautiously, "In the past, this was not a big deal. Madam said hello, it has nothing to do with the Prince Consort. But now... The Prince Consort thought, even if the child's biological mother is not a serious person, it is of Xie's blood after all. There are not many people in the Xie family now... No matter how bad his background is, he is We can’t delay any longer... Madam, look at this...?"
Yun Fenghuang frowned. Yes, if this had happened before, let alone Xie Xishi's illegitimate child, even the illegitimate child of Xie Xiaoyu, with whom she had the best relationship, she would have been too lazy to pay attention to.
She even directly ordered her brother not to pay attention to her, so as not to cause trouble for her serious sister-in-law, which caused a fire in the backyard, causing discomfort to her serious nephews and nieces.
But the Xie family is no longer what it used to be. After the death, his children withered.
Especially when her tenth brother originally had nearly ten children, except for Xie Mi, none of them survived!
No matter how bad his background was, this illegitimate child at this moment was, as Xie Wuzheng said, still of Xie's bloodline and her biological nephew.
From now on, we can't say Xie Xishi's lineage, no, it should be said that Xie Jian's lineage is his to bear the burden.
"Are you sure? Now that everyone in the world knows about the Xie family, they can also guess that the Xie family's children, even if they are of distant bloodline, are very important to me and my consort." She thought about it, He asked slowly, "Maybe there is someone who wants to steal the news!"
The visitor nodded and said: "The prince-in-law thought so too, but after looking for some people who used to follow the Tenth Young Master, they all said that this matter was actually an open secret in the Tenth Young Master's circle. The reason why he did not admit it, but It was because the tenth son had no shortage of heirs at that time and was tired of the child's biological mother, so he threw some money away and ignored them, and did not allow the mother and son to come to the house. The woman originally wanted to cause trouble, but the children from the Jiang family helped to intimidate her. , I said... I said that the Fourth Madam had strict rules and scared people, so she honestly took the money and left."
Yun Fenghuang snorted: "Jiang family? Which cousin helped? He is actually a warm-hearted master! Even though he knows that my mother doesn't like such messy things, he still wants to help the tenth brother to deal with the aftermath!"
"Mom, please calm down, do you think it's because God has taken pity on the master and his wife that the blood in the fourth house is endless, right?" The imperial concubine was still pondering and doubting in her heart, but a few people from the Qing Dynasty beside her were already wiping the corners of their eyes, smelling Yan Ji advised, "If that bitch comes in, this young master may not be here this time either!"
Then he whispered, "This kind of outside woman is probably not a good person. After the young master comes back, he will have nothing to do with her. Anyway, the young master is still young. He grew up under the knees of his uncle and has serious aunts and uncles. If you keep it, you may not know your life experience in the future.”
"..." Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while and asked the person to come, "Tell me more about the child's situation."
The visitor bowed and said yes, thought for a while, and said: "The young master is seven years old this year. Speaking of it, the past two years have been difficult: the biological mother of the young master was not originally from a serious background, and she thought she could get in through the young master. , failed in the end, and was so disappointed that he was not very kind to the young master. Not only was he beaten, scolded and scolded every day, the money given by the tenth master was not spent on the young master at all, and... and... "
He quietly looked at Yun Fenghuang's face before he dared to speak in a low voice, "And I heard that the young master is very handsome. When he grows up, he will...sell the young master to a shameful place like that!"
Yun Fenghuang's master and servant both looked gloomy at the same time.
Qingren said angrily: "Even if the Tenth Young Master doesn't recognize him, he is still of my Xie family's blood. How dare she?!"
"What my aunt said is that the woman is indeed too cruel." The visitor apologized and said, "The young master is also of Xie's blood. Isn't it right that the consort has met her now?"
Although Yun Fenghuang was not happy either, he was not as impulsive as Qingren.
She knew very well that the Xie family usually had no shortage of heirs at all, and Xie Xishi had several legitimate children. Why would he care about the child born to him by a disgraced lover
If Xie hadn't been like this now, even if Xie Xishi was still here, knowing that his own flesh and blood had been sold into prostitution... To be honest, it's unclear whether he would have helped.
After all, he never cared about that child. If he cared a little bit about that child, not to mention taking it back to his wife to raise, the woman he was dating didn't know his nature, so why should he send it to the countryside to find a kind family to settle him? I threw away a few money and left it alone, which shows that I didn't take it seriously.
"Well, I can rest assured that the consort is doing his job. Since he is sure to be the blood of the tenth brother, then..." Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while and said slowly, "Then let the child recognize his ancestor according to his wishes. Let’s go.”
After a pause, "It's just that it's better to discuss this matter with the tenth sister-in-law's family. After all, the biological flesh and blood of the tenth brother and the tenth sister-in-law are now confirmed to be gone. My idea is that if the tenth sister-in-law's mother's family is also willing, this After the child comes back, he will be directly recorded in the name of the tenth sister-in-law. Anyway, if nothing happens, he will be the grandson of the fourth family. "
This also allows him to better separate himself from his unreliable biological mother.
To prevent the woman from getting entangled in the future.
However, she was still thinking about the annihilation of Xie Xishi's entire lineage. No matter how much she didn't like such an illegitimate son, since she decided to accept him back, she still had to leave some room. She was only thinking about Xie's status and status after returning to Xie's family if his biological mother treated him badly. The treatment is different. Unless this is the reincarnation of a white-eyed wolf, there will definitely be no one who doesn't care about Mr. Xie.
Xie Wuzheng was straightforward.
At this moment, the visitor hesitated and said in a low voice: "What the empress said is true. In fact, the prince-in-law also thinks that it would be better for the young master to directly recognize the tenth young lady as his mother. After all, his biological mother is no longer here..."
Yun Fenghuang was a little surprised, but then he thought it was pretty good, so he asked, "Why not? Could it be that Wei He also suffered a murderous attack?"
"But not." The visitor coughed dryly, "The prince-in-law received the news and sent people to look for the young master. After learning what happened to the young master in the past two years, he gave some money to the woman. The woman was greedy and drank. As a result, he accidentally drowned in the water tank."
Well, there's no need to talk about it. Xie Wuzheng must have sent him on his way overnight in order to vent his anger on his nephew and to avoid future troubles.
"In that case, I don't bother to argue with her." Yun Fenghuang nodded. If she wasn't afraid that her tenth brother, the only surviving male heir, would bear grudges in the future, she wouldn't want that woman to survive.
Hearing this, he didn't take it to heart and said slowly, "It's just that this child is old enough to go to school. What plans do Brother Twenty-one and the others have for this?"
The visitor smiled bitterly and said: "Mother, the prince-in-law has a headache just because of this. According to the wishes of the prince-in-law and the eighteenth young master, they intend to take the young master with them and teach him personally. But the two of them and other young men of the Xie family are all here. In the army, those who have been in the army for a year and a half may not be able to return. What’s more, the northern land is remote and there are no outstanding gentlemen. The eighteenth young lady agreed to teach the young master personally. It is said that the eighteenth young lady came from a scholarly family and was enlightened. There is no problem. But the empress also knows that the Eighteenth Young Master is weak in nature, and His Highness Sui'an is also very virtuous and virtuous... The Prince Consort feels that the young master is already a bit timid because of his experience. If he continues If you ask His Highness or the 18th Young Madam to teach you, will you be too girly in the future?"
Yun Fenghuang's expression became solemn as he listened.
Again, if nothing happened to Mr. Xie, none of this would be a problem.
Anyway, there are many children, this one is not up to par, and there is that one.
But now, neither she nor Xie Wuzheng has the right to be picky. These children must all be taken seriously.
"As the saying goes, men and women do not sit together at the age of seven. The child is already seven years old. His Highness and Sister-in-law Eighteen are both young, so it may not be convenient for them to get along with each other." Yun Fenghuang thought for a moment and then said, "In this way, let him stay at home for Brother Ten and his wife. Stay for nine months, firstly, to fulfill your duties as the Son of Man; secondly, to avoid being criticized when he grows up. After that, send someone to the Imperial Capital, and I will give him a place."
It is impossible to take such an old nephew with you personally, but he can be used as a reading companion and stuffed into the princes' classes.
It just so happened that the seventh prince in front of her was about to officially enter school.
Although Yin Qu had already prepared two companions, Yun Fenghuang had to temporarily take up a spot for his surviving nephew, so Yin Qu would not deny him face.
