Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife

Chapter 215 The identity of the biological father
After leaving the gate of Tai's house, Yi Bai didn't return to Guoshi's mansion immediately, and ordered the bearers to go to the prime minister's mansion.

Yi Bai has a cold nature and is hard to get close to strangers. Even if he regards Yi Zhuoming as a relative in his heart, he will not show much joy on the surface. He grew up in a Taoist temple since he was a child. The mansion doesn't come to the prime minister's mansion several times a year, so Yi Zhuoming heard that Yi Bai was coming, and he jumped up from the couch when he was taking a lunch break, and came out to meet him himself with a smile.

"Father." Seeing Yi Zhuoming, Yi Bai greeted with a calm face.

"Ah Bai is finally willing to come back?" Yi Zhuoming smiled amiably, "Sit inside."

Yi Bai nodded, before stepping into the mansion gate with one foot.

"Brother!" Yi Zhou's broken voice came from behind the screen wall, and he ran up to Yi Bai a few times with the spirit of chicken blood, his face blooming with joy, "You But now that I’m back, I’m still thinking about finding time to find you!”

"What do you want from me?" Yi Bai glanced at him lightly.

"Drink!" Yi Zhou raised his chin, "It's been a long time since I tasted the bamboo leaf green from my brother's house! I'm so greedy, my mouth is watering."

Yi Zhuoming bluntly knocked on Yi Zhou's forehead, "Your brother can't drink."

Yi Zhou cried out in pain, hugged his head, and stuck out his tongue secretly at Yi Bai, which meant to say: Dad is here, let’s not talk about drinking, when dad is gone, I will sneak you again Go to the house to drink several jars of it.

Yi Bai understood what Yi Zhou meant, but he didn't make a sound. He likes to make wine, but never drinks. One is because of his health, and the other is that he only enjoys the process of making wine, but he hates that wine can paralyze people's brains. Therefore, the good wine brewed every year is cheaper than Yi Zhou, and even a few times, Yi Zhou went directly to his wine cellar and drank unconsciously. He was willing to leave only when he was emptied.

Yi Zhuoming went first to arrange people to reserve seats.

Yi Zhou took the opportunity to get close to Yi Bai, and whispered, "Brother, actually I went to your house this morning, but the concierge told me that you went out, did you go to the Taoist temple again?"

Yi Bai didn't even think about it, he nodded, "Yeah."

Yi Zhou curled his lips in boredom, "What's so interesting about that Taoist temple? After staying there for so many years, don't you feel tired of it?"

Yi Bai said lightly: "There is something to do."

Yi Zhou has long been used to his elder brother's cold and indifferent temperament, so he doesn't care about it immediately, "Whenever you go again, take me to play too!"

That Taoist temple doesn't belong to anyone else. If Yi Zhou wants to go, he can go anytime. He just doesn't want to take the initiative to go. He hopes that when his brother will think of him and take himself with him when he goes out?

Yi Bai didn't answer him, he had already walked into the front hall.

Yi Zhou stuck to him and sat next to him, his natural broken voice could break people's ears when he spoke, "Brother, is it because you have something to do that you came back today?"

Yi Bai lowered his eyelashes, and there was a shadow in his eyes.

Yi Zhou poured him tea himself, "Here, your favorite Maojian."

Yi Bai took it and took a sip.

The two brothers, half-brothers, have a sharp contrast between movement and stillness. Yi Bai likes to sit and meditate, while Yi Zhou has a sharp butt and can't sit still. He just wants to stroll outside all day long. Refined and elegant, but he never went to brothels and other places for fireworks. Whenever he had time, he ran to the National Teacher's Mansion. For so many years, the threshold of the National Teacher's Mansion was almost smashed by him.

Yi Bai took another sip of tea, looked at Yi Zhou, "I heard you discussed marriage a few days ago?"

"Yeah." Yi Zhou nodded, lacking in interest, "It's not my mother, she's always urging me to get married, so I was so angry that I just pointed out a marriage proposal."

Yi Bai disagreed, and frowned, "Marriage is such a trifling matter?"

"What does that matter?" Yi Zhou smiled mysteriously, "The key is that the girl likes me, and it's easy to handle if she likes me. When she passes through the door in the future, she has to obey my orders."

"What do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything." Yi Zhou said with a smile: "I just don't want to be controlled by a tigress, so I choose a gentle and virtuous one. I said she would not dare to go west if I said going east."

Yi Bai asked: "Is the wedding date set?"

"Well, it was originally decided, but I asked my mother to change it."

Even marriage matters are so casual, Yi Bai often doesn't know how to talk to his half-brother, but he never thought about getting married, so he doesn't have deep feelings about this aspect, but just thinks that Yi Zhou has so many things. He didn't take that girl seriously, "Why change the day?"

"Isn't it the Nanliang emperor's birthday?" Yi Zhou's eyes lit up, "I know my brother will definitely go, and I will go too when the time comes, and we will get married when I come back from Nanliang."

"I don't necessarily want to go." Yi Bai's eyes fell on the teacup, a little dazed. Originally, he went to Nanliang to find out the cause of his mother's death, but now that the cause of death has not been found out, it is better to find out her identity first. Yi Bai Bai Xin couldn't accept it for a while.

"What's the matter, brother, is there something urgent?" Yi Zhou didn't understand. The national teacher is the most representative figure in Beiyan. Generally, Emperor Xuanzong will arrange for the national teacher to take the envoys to other countries. This year, he Didn't go?Have no chance to go or don't want to go?

Yi Bai said softly: "I was seriously injured when I went back to Nanliang. Although I have recovered now, I still have a lot of minor ailments. My body can't support a long journey." This is indeed one of the reasons why he didn't want to go to Nanliang. He only had more than two years of life left, and he didn't want to waste it on those meaningless things.Furthermore, when he went back to Nanliang, Emperor Xuanzong secretly sent assassins to assassinate him, but failed. This time, when he was sent to Nanliang again, there would be wave after wave of killers waiting on the way, although those under him could resist. He got Emperor Xuanzong's killing move, but he felt that his people didn't need to use them to deal with Emperor Xuanzong, it was a waste of his little time, and the most important thing now was to find an antidote to solve the urgent need.

When Yi Zhou heard this, his expression changed immediately, "Brother was seriously injured? Who hurt you? Tell me, I will chop him up!"

Yi Bai laughed, "A person you don't know."

Yi Zhou's face became even more ugly, "I don't know him, so I can't kill him? If you dare to hurt my brother, he deserves to die!"

While the two were talking, the prime minister's wife, Mrs. Xie, walked in, "Ah Bai, why did you think of coming here today?"

"I need to talk to my father." Yi Bai's face returned to his usual indifference.

Mrs. Xie understood, "Your father will be here in a while, the kitchen is preparing the table, should you leave after eating?"

Yi Bai didn't speak.

Embarrassed, Mrs. Xie felt resentful. She had long disliked this sick man, but Mr. Xiang pampered him like a baby. When this sick man came back, it was like the emperor's visit. The mansion worked hard for him. Prepare this and prepare that, even his own unworthy son likes to cling to this sick man.

Mrs. Xie gave Yi Bai a cold look, and gritted her teeth. What is so attractive about this sick man? His short-lived mother has been gone for more than [-] years, and his father has lost all favor with his short-lived mother. Come on him.

Thinking of her ignorant son, Xie secretly swallowed a mouthful of blood, Yi Bai was separated early, and it was her son's turn to inherit the huge family business of the prime minister's mansion, but this kid is idle all day long , It was going to explode her internal organs.

"Mom, what are you doing there?" Seeing that she didn't leave for a long time, Yi Zhou said, "I'm hungry, when can I eat!" Well, it's rare to come back, why should I stay for a meal?
Mrs. Xie gave him a hard look, eat and eat, you know how to eat, pigs are not as diligent as you.

Yi Zhou rolled his eyes, if it wasn't for his brother's presence, his mother would have sat down and had a long talk with him, so he didn't want to listen to those nonsense.

"Mom, go to the kitchen to remind me, I'm starving to death!" Yi Zhou muttered again.

Helpless, Xie turned around and walked out.

Not long after, the maidservants brought the food to the table, and Yi Bai reluctantly stayed. The kitchen was ordered by Yi Zhuoming to cook all the dishes that Yi Bai liked, but even so, Yi Bai still had no appetite and ate whatever he wanted After a few mouthfuls, he put down his chopsticks.

Seeing this, Yi Zhou said, "Brother, why don't you eat?"

Yi Bai stood up and said lightly, "I'll go and put incense on my mother."

After finishing speaking, he went out and walked towards the ancestral hall.

Yi Zhou said "oh", lowered his head and continued to eat.

Mrs. Xie snorted coldly, look, what did she say, the sick man was a tosser when he came back, the kitchen was busy for a long time making so many expensive dishes, but people put down their chopsticks without even looking at it. Yi Bai's favorite dishes were not to her liking, thinking of these, Xie felt resentful in her heart, and there was nowhere to vent her anger.

Yi Zhuoming looked over coldly, "Eat when you eat, what are you doing with the table?"

Mrs. Xie consciously lost her composure, and hurriedly changed her face, "Master, is there something wrong with this kid, Abai? You see, he comes back once in a while, so it's fine if he doesn't talk, and he doesn't even eat. Could it be that something happened to him? baby?"

Yi Zhuoming said: "Ah Bai has such a temperament, I thought you were used to it long ago."

Xie squeezed his chopsticks tightly, habit?To get used to her own son, Yi Bai's existence is an untimely threat to her, why should she get used to accepting him?
The atmosphere turned cold, and Yi Zhuoming lost his appetite, so he stood up and walked out of the hall.

Yi Bai stood in front of his mother's spiritual tablet in the ancestral hall, looking at the three characters "Tai Zhiyun" on the pitch-black tablet, his handsome face was tense, and his lips were indifferent.

"Ah Bai, are you thinking about your mother again?" Yi Zhuoming's voice came from behind.

Yi Bai didn't turn his head back, "I haven't been to the ancestral hall for a long time, I want to come and have a look today."

Following Yi Bai's gaze, Yi Zhuoming set his gaze on the polished memorial tablet, recalling the past, his complexion changed subtly, and his thoughts wandered.

"It's been so many years, didn't father ever think about finding the person who poisoned me to avenge my mother?" Yi Bai didn't look sideways, still looking at the spiritual tablet, but his voice was cold.

Yi Zhuoming said frankly: "I've been looking for it for many years, but to no avail."

"So why don't you look for it?" Yi Bai sneered.Did he not look for it or did it unintentionally, or was the murderer himself?
Yi Bai always felt that what Lu Xiuyuan said to him in Nanliang back then could not be aimless. Although he still has no direct evidence to prove that Yi Zhuoming was the murderer of his mother, if this result is assumed to be true, then Many things in between can be reasonably explained.

"Ah Bai." Yi Zhuoming showed pain, "Do you think I won't feel bad if your mother was poisoned? Watching her die in my arms is a nightmare of my life. You were born when you were born. And where can I see the depression and despair of being a father? It's not that I haven't looked for it, but every time I look for it, I can think of her before she was alive, which makes me feel even more heartbroken, so I dare not easily uncover the scars."

Yi Bai turned his head and stared fixedly at Yi Zhuoming. He could no longer tell which of what Yi Zhuoming said to him was true and which was false. Intuitively, Yi Zhuoming should have something to hide from him, but regardless of him Yi Zhuoming always pretended not to understand when asked in what way in a disguised form.

After taking a breath, Yi Bai jumped off the topic, "I heard that my father was best friends with King Jing'an when he was young, why did the relationship become stagnant?"

Yi Zhuoming said: "I don't know very well, I only know that he suddenly turned against me back then, and then we got tired of seeing each other. Every time we met, we couldn't see each other."

Yi Bai's eyes were stern, so two people who are close friends will turn against each other if they say they are against each other. If there is no reason, who will believe it?
Knowing that Yi Zhuoming wanted to hide it, Yi Bai didn't pursue it. Asking Yi Zhuoming, maybe it would be useful before asking King Jing'an, put the burning incense in his hand into the incense burner, and said: "Go back to Nanliang, Xuanzong The emperor sent someone to assassinate me."

Yi Zhuoming's expression changed, "Your Majesty? Why!"

Yi Bai sneered, he also wanted to know why, the person who took him out of the Taoist temple to serve as the national teacher was Emperor Xuanzong, but now the person who wants to put him to death is still Emperor Xuanzong, could it be that the purpose of Emperor Xuanzong to take him out was just To assassinate him?Then when he was sick and weak in the early years, he had a lot of opportunities to attack. How could Emperor Xuanzong remain indifferent at that time?

"Ah Bai, did you get hurt somewhere?" Yi Zhuoming looked him over from head to toe.

Yi Bai closed his eyes, "Fortunately, I won't die for a while."

Yi Zhuoming's face turned ugly again, "Then why didn't you tell me when you came back last time?"

Yi Bai asked: "If I say so, will father dare to question Emperor Xuanzong face to face?"

Yi Zhuoming choked, yes, even if Ah Bai said it, he couldn't go to find Emperor Xuanzong to seek justice, since the other party did it in secret, he had already found a way out for him, and besides, he was The Son of Heaven, he is a courtier, dare to go and ask, is he tired of work?The most important thing is that Emperor Xuanzong sent people to assassinate Yi Bai. He has always known that asking Yi Bai himself is just a formality. Even if Yi Bai died because of that assassination, he would not stand up and denounce it. Half a sentence.

Looking at Yi Bai's sickly and pale handsome face, Yi Zhuoming couldn't help thinking of something, and clenched his knuckles in his brocade sleeves.

Yi Zhuoming's reaction naturally failed to escape Yi Bai's eyes. He looked away. Originally, the last time he came back from Nanliang, he could have used Yun Jingshu to threaten King Jing'an to tell some truths. The action was because he did not dare to accept that his father Yi Zhuoming would become the main character who runs through everything, and at the same time wanted to give himself time to ease and adapt, but today he learned about the origin of his biological mother from Mrs. Tai, and the fog in his heart It became clearer and closer to the truth, he didn't want to run away, and he didn't want to wait for Yi Zhuoming to confess, maybe it's time to find King Jing'an.

After returning home to rest for the night, Yi Bai went to Jing'an Palace early in the morning.

King Jing'an didn't want to see Yi Bai very much, but he had no reason to rush out since everyone was here, so he asked someone to sit in the front hall.

"The national teacher is really a rare guest in this palace!" King Jing'an walked in with his hands behind his back, his tone was full of sarcasm, the last time Yi Bai came, he sent Yun Jingshu, which almost made him lose his composure at the birthday banquet Don't lose face, come again this time, don't even need to think about it, you know it's not going to be a good thing.

"Did the prince forget that you still owe me a favor." Yi Bai raised his head to look at him, and said lazily.

King Jing'an raised his eyebrows, "When did this king owe you a favor?"

Yi Bai pursed his lips, "If there is no this seat, how could the prince find his long-lost daughter so quickly?"

King Jing'an's face froze, "Do you want to repay your kindness?"

"It's not really a question, I just want to find out some things from the prince."

King Jing'an twitched the corner of his mouth, could the "things" that came out of Yi Bai's mouth be simple "things"?

But it's rare for him to put his posture so low. If he is aggressive, he will appear too narrow.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yi Bai said, "Can you tell me why you turned against my father back then?"

When he heard that he was asking about this matter, King Jing'an tensed up, and he didn't want to talk about it.

There is indeed a problem.

On the contrary, Yi Bai was not impatient, and just sat so quietly, as if he didn't intend to leave before King Jing'an could speak.

King Jing'an glanced at him, and then again, each glance carried a profound meaning.

Yi Bai is like a person who has nothing to do, let King Jing'an look at him, he is a person who is rarely disturbed by the outside world, as long as you don't pay attention, even if you turn your gaze into a knife and gouge him, he will not waver at all.

"Didn't that old man Yi Zhuoming tell you?" Finally, after sizing up, he was sure that his "magnificence of the prince" could not threaten Yi Bai, King Jing'an sighed softly.

Yi Bai gave him a look of "what do you think?" If he told him, would he still come all the way to Jing'an Palace to ask?
King Jing'an's face was very ugly, "If he hadn't deliberately seduced him back then, why would my concubine..." The following words could not be continued because of the anger accumulated in his chest. As his wife, Yi Zhuoming was what she thought about at night.

Everyone in the entire imperial capital knew that King Jing'an loved his concubine terribly and was willing to give her the best in the world, but no one knew that when she looked at him affectionately, she was thinking of something else. a man.And that man was his best friend when he was young.

What's more, Chu Xiangyi even met Yi Zhuoming in private, so that when Chu Xiangyi told him that she was pregnant, his reaction was not joy, but jealousy and anger. The name of Yi Zhuoming, he changed from a good beast who had endured for a long time to a red-eyed lion, strangled her to death in his dream with his own hands, and as for the evil seed in her stomach... He admitted that seeing Yun Jingshu born in At that moment in the coffin, I felt pity. After all, the one lying in the coffin was also my beloved woman. Although I was happy for a while killing her, I still felt uncomfortable thinking that I would not be able to see her again in the future. So let someone carry Yun Jingshu out and send her as far away as possible.

After halfway through the conversation, Yi Bai had already figured out what was going on. How could Chu Xiangyi, Princess of Jing'an, have had a relationship with his father, Yi Zhuoming?Looking at King Jing'an's furious reaction, he wanted to hate his father to the bone. No wonder Yun Jingshu was sent to a place so far away in Nanliang when she was born. Yun Jingshu is the child of Chu Xiangyi and Yi Zhuoming.

"No!" Yi Bai frowned, "It's impossible for my father to do such a thing." No matter how dark Yi Zhuoming's mind is, he will pretend to be a gentleman on the surface, especially in front of others, he prefers to flaunt himself, Jing'an Since Wang is his good friend, it is impossible for him to do such a heinous thing as seizing a wife. Besides, Yi Zhuoming clearly has feelings for Tai Zhiyun, so he can't steal someone secretly.

Either, there is some misunderstanding, or there is some unknown story behind it.

King Jing'an sneered, "You are the son of that old Buxiu, of course you spoke for him."

Yi Bai also knew that his mention of this matter caused the fire that King Jing'an had buried for many years. At this time, he would be pale if he wanted to explain anything in words, so he took out two identical jade pendants from his bosom, "Your lord can recognize this thing. ?”

King Jing'an took a closer look and was taken aback, "This...isn't this her thing?"

"she?"

"My late concubine." Every time he mentioned that person's name, his heart would be pierced, and it would take a while for the wound to heal slowly. "Why did you have this?" The thing was worn around Yun Jingshu's neck, but it disappeared after she came back. She originally thought that Yun Jingshu had lived in Nanliang for so many years, so it would be okay to lose the thing, so as not to bring it back to arouse his interest Memories, who would have thought, would fall into Yi Bai's hands.

"Is the prince sure that one of them is a relic of the former princess?"

King Jing'an picked up one, looked at it carefully, and nodded, "I'm sure, I've only seen such a special jade pendant on her." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the other one, "Then, This one is...?"

"This is my mother's relic." Yi Bai said slowly.

King Jing'an stared, "Impossible!" Xiangyi said that it was passed down to her mother by her grandmother, and her mother left it to her. Since it was passed down from the ancestors, how could there be another one that is exactly the same? The daughter of the Yongchu family, the top three elder brothers have no sisters at all, and the wife of the prime minister is the daughter of the Qinghe Tai family. It is impossible for these two to be related.

"It's really my mother's relic." Yi Bai said with a serious expression, "The prince must have been suspicious. It just so happened that this seat also felt that this matter was quite strange, so I came to the prince and wanted to inquire about it carefully. Can you find any clues."

King Jing'an took two steps back and looked at him warily, "What do you mean?"

Yi Bai said clearly, "No matter how my mother and the former concubine died, they both left a relic, and two people who have no intersection at all have exactly the same accessories, don't you think it's strange?" Ruo This kind of jade pendant is common, but after searching all over the imperial capital, people can't find any news about this kind of jade pendant in jewelry shops in various counties, so it can only mean that this kind of jade pendant is not in circulation in the market. Either it is an heirloom of a certain family, or it is a kind of shady thing.

However, both are just Yi Bai's preliminary guesses, and what exactly they are can only be revealed step by step.

"Xiangyi said that this jade pendant was passed down from her natal family." King Jing'an said.

Yi Bai pondered, "I don't know what my mother said, but the Tai family definitely never passed on such things." Thinking of his mother's unknown origin, he frowned, "Is it possible that my mother and the former princess are sisters?" Interpreting the jade pendant as a heirloom can only link his mother with Chu Xiangyi.

"The national teacher is joking?" King Jing'an sneered, "The prime minister's wife is the daughter of the Qinghe Tai family, and my princess's concubine is from the Shangyongren family. The ancestry of these two people is very different. How can they become a family?"

"Then, has the lord met my mother?" Yi Bai asked again.

"I've seen it." When Yi Zhuoming got married, he had a wedding drink before he was married to a concubine. Many people had seen the bride when he was in the bridal chamber at night. She was indeed a rare beauty, but She is a cold beauty with a very indifferent temperament, but it is this temperament that makes her full of mysterious aura.

"Your mother looks nothing like this king's concubine." King Jing'an knew what he wanted to say, "Besides, Xiangyi only has three elder brothers and no sisters at all. The possibility of these two being from the same family is almost zero .”

"Then how to explain this kind of thing?" Yi Bai raised the jade pendant again.

The more King Jingan looked at it, the more glaring it became, and he felt a little impatient, "People have been dead for so many years, there is nothing to pursue."

Yi Baixin said that you strangled the first concubine to death with your own hands. Of course you don't want to reveal this kind of scandal, but, "I suspect that someone is manipulating everything behind the scenes, and this jade pendant is not an heirloom at all, let alone an accessory. It is a token of secret communication between them."

King Jing'an was startled, "Yi Bai, this king has given you three points in your status as a national teacher, so don't go ahead and talk nonsense in this prince's mansion. What manipulation, what token, what nonsense are you talking about?" Even if Xiangyi betrayed him, she was just a little woman at heart, how could she know about those things, and how could she keep secrets as tokens?It's a joke in the world!
"One day, I will find out all the truth." After Yi Bai finished speaking, he turned and left.The information I got from King Jing'an is not much, only to confirm the real reason why King Jing'an and Yi Zhuoming turned against each other. At present, the most important thing is to find out who his biological mother is. It is much easier to find the person who has been hiding behind.

-

Although Lu Xiuyuan released the news that he was going out to discuss business, Lu Chuan, a sensitive person, sensed that something was wrong. He went to the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion to ask for leave and hurried back to the Lu Mansion, looking for Lu Xiuyuan immediately.

"Why did third uncle come back suddenly?" Lu Xiuyuan was very surprised.

Lu Chuan didn't care to catch his breath, and asked him directly, "Are you going on a long trip?"

Lu Xiuyuan nodded, "Go out to discuss business."

"Tell the truth to third uncle, where are you going?" Lu Xiuyuan was the child brought back by Lu Chuan himself from Luming Mountain. Among the three brothers, he had the least contact with Lu Xiuyuan because he became a monk, but he knew Lu Xiuyuan the best. Lies, he can tell at a glance.

Lu Xiuyuan turned his head away, "Go to Beiyan." Since he couldn't hide it, he didn't plan to hide it.

Lu Chuan turned pale, "What are you going to Beiyan for?"

"Find my mother's whereabouts."

"Yuan'er, why did you take what Third Uncle told you as a deaf ear?" Lu Chuan was really angry this time, "Your mother is gone, why don't you just stay in the Lu family and be your eldest master? You have to go What are you going to do with those things, your legs and feet are not convenient, how do you travel so far to such a long distance, in case something happens, how will you ask Third Uncle to explain to your mother?"

Lu Xiuyuan stubbornly tilted his head to one side, "I just want to find out who I am, I can't let my mother die without knowing why!"

Lu Chuan stopped him, "Yuaner, I won't let you go."

It just so happened that Lu Jiaping and Lu Jiaxing walked in at the same time, both of them looked solemn, Lu Jiaping looked at Lu Xiuyuan, "Yuaner, as long as our three brothers have breath today, we cannot let you go to Beiyan."

Lu Xiuyuan looked stubborn, "Tracking down my mother's whereabouts is my duty as a son, and the three uncles have no right to stop me."

Lu Jiaping walked up to him, "Yuan'er, do you know why our three brothers protected you from childhood to prevent you from suffering outside?"

Lu Chuan seemed to be aware of what Lu Jiaping was going to say, and he said anxiously, "Brother!"

Lu Jiaping raised his hand. At this point, what's the point of hiding it from him? It will only let him go to Beiyan without hesitation. Instead of watching him suffer, it's better to tell him the truth, "Because your mother She has had a harder life than anyone else, and she didn't enjoy any of the blessings of the Lu family, and it all fell into the hands of that man."

Lu Xiuyuan pursed his lips tightly, and the hands attached to the wheelchair creaked.

"I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that you would get involved in this matter. It would never end. Now, you have found Beiyan. It seems that there is no way to stop you from going to Beiyan without telling you."

"Uncle, so you all know?" Lu Xiuyuan's heart was filled with lead, and he glanced at the three uncles who were ashamed, and couldn't help but get red eyes.What could he say, blaming them for not telling him the truth?But he himself was dependent on others, if he hadn't been adopted by his uncles, he would have died at the hands of the man in black at the age of three, so how can he blame them now?
But without saying anything, it is difficult to dispel the depression in my heart.

"Your mother, Lu Qingwan, is the elder sister of our three brothers. She saved a man who was hunted down and seriously injured before the Lu family moved to the capital. Even if the Lu family is a merchant, your mother is still a boudoir girl after all. , It’s not right to save a foreigner like this. Your grandfather and grandmother didn’t know about it at the time. Our three brothers privately persuaded your mother to let her leave that man alone, but she was kind-hearted and couldn’t bear to leave him. Our three brothers had no choice but to set up a Zhuangzi outside and let her stay on the Zhuangzi temporarily to take care of that man.

But no one expected that after several months of getting along day and night, the two of them would secretly fall in love, and they became husband and wife in advance. It wasn't until your mother became pregnant that he admitted that he was Beiyan's proton sent to Nanliang. Ziye Cheng, was murdered by his imperial brother on the way back to the country after the expiration of the pledge period. In front of our three brothers, he promised to seize the heir as soon as he returned to the country.

Since then, your mother has stayed in Luming Mountain, waiting day after day. When your grandfather and grandmother found out about it, they removed her from the family tree in a rage. We three brothers couldn't bear it and went to help her secretly. She didn't want it. A person takes you through hardships and hardships.After Ye Cheng returned to the country, it took only two years to seize the crown prince. His father passed away not long after. The crown prince successfully succeeded to the throne and married the daughter of the Beiyan family, Zhu Shi. Dare to tell your mother, for fear that she will be sad and overwhelmed.Every time I went to see her, I would say some pleasant words to comfort her, but in fact, my heart ached so badly.

Until you were three years old, Bei Yan finally came to pick up your mother, but the other party was not Ye Cheng, but his empress Zhu Shi.Mrs. Zhu obviously had the determination to kill someone to take your mother away. Fortunately, you were smart and knew how to hide when you were young, otherwise even you would not be able to escape Mrs. Zhu's ruthless hands. "

Lu Xiuyuan remembered what happened when he was three years old, and tears welled up in his eyes, "My mother was killed by the Queen Zhu at that time, right?"

Lu Jiaping murmured, "Maybe it's because we haven't heard from her since she went to Beiyan. The only thing that's certain is that your mother is long gone."

Lu Xiuyuan took a deep breath, "So, I am the illegitimate son of Emperor Beiyan, not even a concubine." Such an identity is more than a humiliation!If his uncle hadn't taken him in and allowed him to continue living as the young master of the Lu family, he would have been cast aside by the world by virtue of his humiliating status.

"Yuaner." Lu Jiaping patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, "You have been the young master of the Lu family all your life, no one dares to question your identity, and others dare not roll their eyes at you, you must know that you are a spoiled brat in the business world , is the heir of the Lu Chamber of Commerce that many people in the circle look up to. No matter how hard my uncle suffers, he will leave the best for you. So, don't think about your mother any more, and don't even think about finding her. You can't find it, the only one who is still alive is Empress Dowager Zhu who has something to do with the events of the past, and that is not someone we can deal with casually. The wish of the uncles is to hope that you can live in peace, Don't get involved in these fights, as long as you stay in the Lu family obediently, you can live a life of wealth and stability that ordinary people can't earn in a few lifetimes, but once you leave the Lu family, the uncles really can't guarantee your safety , especially in places as far away as Beiyan, how can you let your uncles feel at ease to let you go?"

After the extreme grief, Lu Xiuyuan calmed down instead, "Go back and do your work, uncles, I won't go to Beiyan for the time being."

Lu Chuan showed pain on his face, and looked at Lu Jiaping, "Brother, I didn't let you talk about it a long time ago."

Lu Jiaping was also helpless, "If you don't say anything, Yuan'er will insist on going to Beiyan, can you rest assured?"

Lu Chuan choked, of course he couldn't just watch Lu Xiuyuan go to Beiyan, but seeing him sad like this, he also felt distressed.

"Three uncles, please go back, I want to be alone."

Lu Xiuyuan supported his head with one hand, and there was countless pain and sadness in his lowered eyes.

He hated, hated that treacherous man, wished to dig him out and flog his corpse, and even more wished to go back in time and kill that man with his own hands. He also felt sorry for his mother who had ruined her life by paying someone wrongly.

But what can he do, what should he do?
The other party is the emperor, and besides, he has already been buried in the ground, so what can he do if he hates it?
Once again, I deeply felt the powerlessness and helplessness of the three-year-old year.

Wan Tong didn't know what the three masters said to the young master, but only knew that when he came in, the young master was staring out of the window in a daze. It seemed that there was nothing unusual, but he had been with the young master for a long time, and he could easily feel it , the young master is very sad today.

"Master." Wan Tong stood behind Lu Xiuyuan and said in a low voice, "You have packed everything you asked your subordinates to pack. When are we going to leave?"

Lu Xiuyuan looked away, raised his hand, "Cancel the trip, I'm not leaving."

Wan Tong said "Oh", and didn't dare to ask any more questions, turned around and went out to put the packed things back to their original places.

In the dead of night, Yi Zhuoming came to the ancestral hall alone, looking at Tai Zhiyun's tablet on the altar table, his face was covered with ice.

Taking down the tablet and hugging it in his arms, he squatted at the foot of the altar table, gently stroking the cold tablet with the moonlight coming in through the window, as if he was touching that person's face, his heart was bleeding, but his face was It was a sneer, a smile, and mist and hatred welled up in his eyes. No one would know that he poisoned his pregnant wife for more than a year, just to slowly torture her to death. The reason... After three months of marriage, it was spring hunting. The first emperor led all the officials to hunt in Shanglinyuan. At that time, he took his wife Tai Zhiyun with him, but saw a scene that he should not have seen that night.
