Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 390 Minglan is jealous, the truth is revealed (4)
Qiu Mingyue has been listening quietly. At that time, the Elder Master resisted the marriage with Lin, so he ran to Yangzhou to meet Shen, and had his first child.

"Although it was a one-sided relationship, my father never forgot about my mother. Later, when I went back to Beijing to inquire, I found out that my mother is the legitimate daughter of a cabinet scholar."

Qiu Mingyue brightened up, and asked again: "I heard that my second aunt had a milder temperament when she first passed the door."

Qiu Mingzhu smiled, "Father said, mother was never like this. When father first married her, the two were inseparable and had a very good relationship. It's just that after mother had an older brother, her temperament gradually changed. Pregnant women's emotions She was older at first, so no one cared about it. But after the eldest brother made his voice, the mother's temperament never returned to the past, and she always looked cold and cold. Later, my father had a few more aunts. The mother just treated my father Even more indifferent." She gave a wry smile, "Perhaps from the perspective of outsiders, in the entire Qiufu, only mother and father are the most harmonious and loving. But that's just the appearance, and I didn't know until today. Father and mother have not seen each other for more than ten years. Had a room together."

Qiu Mingyue's eyes were somewhat shocked.

"Over ten years?"

Qiu Mingzhu nodded, "To be precise, father and mother haven't had sex since eldest brother was born. This is what father told me."

Qiu Mingyue's bandaged hands tightened slightly, "Second Uncle actually told you this?"

There was a trace of bitterness on Qiu Mingzhu's lips, "I was also surprised. Father was very strange yesterday, as if he was in a trance, but he spoke very clearly. He said that it was at that time that he had several concubines. He said he violated He broke the vow he had made to his mother, so his mother hated him. In his mother's room, there was a small bed for his father to sleep on. Later, his father broke into his mother's room when he was drunk, and took his mother's maid , that is, my aunt became a mother... Later, I was born."

Qiu Mingyue raised her eyes to look at her, Qiu Mingzhu's eyes were slightly drunk, like the white mist of the morning glow, and she couldn't really see the scene of the fog.

"Father has always felt ashamed of his mother, so sometimes he turns a blind eye when he knows that mother is making things difficult for his concubines. It is also because of this that he has rarely cared about me these years. It is the second sister And the second brother, it is also because their biological mother was given to their father by their grandmother, so their father took care of them. Father said that he never had any intention of raising his wife. All this is nothing more than my mother's unfounded worries all the time. "

"He said that his mother has to be strong, never admit defeat, and never bow her head to anyone in her life. When she married him as the legitimate daughter of a cabinet bachelor, he promised that her mother would always be consistent with her, but she still didn't do it. So No matter what my mother did, he condoned it. He also knew that what my mother hated most was that my father accepted my aunt. Because it was slapping her in the face. When my mother proposed to raise me, my father actually hesitated, fearing that my mother would hate me And treat me badly, but I don’t want to make my mother angry, besides, since ancient times, the daughter born by a concubine should be treated by the mistress, so I agreed."

"Over the years, my mother has been kind to me, and he has gradually let go of his heart. But this time, my mother proposed marriage to me."

Qiu Mingzhu was silent when she said this, she thought of the regretful expression of the second master Shen Ning at that time.

"At that time, Dad looked at me with guilty eyes and begged. He said, 'Mingzhu, don't blame her. Don't hate her. It's all my fault. I'm sorry for her, and I'm sorry for your aunt.' In my impression, Father has always been a taciturn person, calm and indifferent, unsmiling. I have never seen him with such an expression, and I was very surprised. He said, although Ye Shangxian is romantic, but all the big families in this capital, which noble son is clean and self-conscious What? I don’t have a biological mother, and I don’t have a noble status. If I don’t want to be a concubine in the future, I can only marry a wealthy businessman as my regular wife. It’s better to marry a famous bastard, who is also a young mistress.”

Qiu Mingyue sneered with anger in her eyes.

"Fourth Sister, to what extent are you sure Second Uncle knows about Ye Shangxian's 'Merry'?"

Qiu Mingzhu was taken aback, "Fifth Sister, what do you mean by that?"

Qiu Mingyue said: "Second Uncle is always indifferent to you, but your marriage will never be silent. Based on what you just said, Second Uncle will not ask Second Aunt in person, it must be I learned it from my grandmother. You have to know that most of the noble sons of wealthy families have maids around them in their teens, so this kind of thing is regarded as normal in the eyes of everyone. Then you think, two Why does Uncle object to you marrying a wealthy concubine as a young mistress as a concubine?"

Qiu Mingzhu pursed her lips, "What you said, I thought about it afterwards. I'm just wondering why dad suddenly said so much to me?"

Qiu Mingyue's eyes were cool, and there was a sneer on her lips.

"Fourth sister, have you ever suspected that there is something wrong with Second Aunt's identity?"

Qiu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then shocked.

"Fifth sister, what are you talking about?"

Qiu Mingyue's face was tense, "Fourth Sister, I've always suspected that Second Uncle might know something, but what I don't understand is, why didn't he tell?"

Qiu Mingzhu hurriedly said: "Fifth sister, tell me first, what do you mean by that sentence just now? There is a problem with the identity of the mother? Why do you have such a guess? Or, what do you know?"

Qiu Mingyue pondered for a while, looked into Qiu Mingzhu's eyes, and said, "Fourth sister, you also know the rumors going on outside right now."

Qiu Mingzhu nodded, "I heard." She seemed to think of something, and asked, "Fifth Sister, it is widely rumored that Prince Rong appointed you as Prince Rong's first concubine, what's going on?"

Qiu Mingyue looked at her with a half-smile, "Fourth Sister, do you believe it?"

Qiu Mingzhu shook her head and nodded again, "There is no wind without waves. How noble is the Prince Rong's mansion? If there is no news, the common people would not dare to spread rumors out of nothing to slander the majesty of the royal family. Fifth sister, tell me what is going on What's going on? By the way, grandfather and uncle asked you to go to the study yesterday, is it because of this?"

Sure enough, there is no impenetrable wall in the world.Qiu Mingyue didn't think that Qiu Mingzhu would hide this matter for a long time, so she nodded.

"Yes."

Qiu Mingzhu was even more surprised, "Fifth sister, how...how did you get involved with Prince Rong's son?"

Qiu Mingyue looked down at the patterns on the floor, and said in a low voice, "When I returned to Beijing, I met him by chance. He was the one who saved Mingrui from falling from his horse last time." That's how she explained it to the old lady and the old man back then. of.

Qiu Mingzhu was surprised and then said clearly: "No wonder you didn't tell me what I asked you last time, so it turned out to be like this. Fifth sister, you..." She opened her mouth, wanted to ask something, but was a little hesitant.

Qiu Mingyue saw through her thoughts at a glance, and smiled helplessly.
