wife master

Chapter 179 Tie Yi Leng 06 Old Things
Cheng Yuan's thoughts coincided with Miao Lian's thoughts back then. They both sincerely cared for Ali, so they would remind Ali to find his own advantages. In the future, they will be able to take advantage of these characteristics to occupy a place with the wife-lord and maintain a long-term honor. .

If someone asks about it, Ali will definitely not tell the truth.But now the person who asked him was his own father, who was admired by the emperor for his outstanding military talent.Such a father should be able to understand and agree with Yuhui's expectations of him, as well as those things that are unimaginable to others, right?
Ali hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "The former master only asked me to do rough work, but she secretly taught me to read and write and some martial arts moves. The current master is even more enlightened. In addition to arranging special training for my martial arts, he also taught me personally. What I usually ask me to do is to help her sort out documents and analyze information. Even when I go in and out of the barracks and ask the generals about military affairs, I am allowed to listen and discuss with me when I come back.”

Cheng Yuan's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "A Li, General Yu actually allowed you to be able to read and write, and deliberately cultivated you? You are a man and a slave. This is very unreasonable."

A Li pursed his lips and explained: "Maybe it's because I have never learned the decent skills that men should know except for rough work, and I happen to be literate."

Cheng Yuan asked suspiciously: "When General Yu taught you to read, did he know that you were from the Cheng family?"

A Li guessed that the emperor didn't want him to know his real life experience, so he refused Yuhui to tell him before, and now his father dared not recognize him, never revealed that he was the prince, and even asked vaguely about Cheng's family Such vague words.He was able to understand his father's painstaking efforts, so he made up his mind to hide it carefully, pretending that his father was an uncle, and not revealing flaws in his words.

A Li shook his head, mixed some lies with the truth and said: "When the former master was dying, I made a poisonous oath to persist in living and come to the capital to join her brother. She said her name was Cheng Rou, Could it be that her brother is you? She told me that your single name is 'Yuan', but she forbids me to mention it to others, so where should I find it? I am just a humble slave, if I hadn't met such a good person Master, I am afraid that I will never have the chance to come to the capital in my life. In fact, although the master was very kind to me at that time, I never took it seriously. I just mentioned a little bit, the master has been thinking about helping me to visit my relatives, and later he may have found clues from others, telling me that I am the illegitimate son brought back by the son of the Cheng family. Daddy lives in a remote yard and has never seen mother."

The dumb father Ali mentioned was Cheng Wu, the son of the Cheng family concubine, who was a few months older than Cheng Yuan.Because Cheng Wu was not favored, his biological father died early and no one cares about him. Cheng Yuan has been married for several years, and Cheng Wu is still in his boudoir.It was only when Cheng Yuan gave birth to the eldest prince that he heard that his eldest sister, Cheng Zeqiang, had decided to book a marriage for Cheng Wu, marrying Cheng Wu to a seventh-rank official to fill in the house.The little official is old and ugly, and his side husband and servant are like wolves and tigers, which are not easy to want to marry. Cheng Wu will definitely suffer if he marries.Cheng Wu was unwilling to marry, so he escaped from marriage and left home for several years without hearing from him.

Cheng Wu didn't return to Cheng's house until Cheng Yuan was pregnant with her third child.But at this time, Cheng Wu had already been planted with fetal crystals. He was illiterate and became dumb. When asked who his wife was, he could only cry and couldn't express, which was really pitiful.Everyone guessed that he met people unkindly, was raped and innocent, and then abandoned him in the end.

Cheng Yuan felt that this matter was strange.If a woman only wants to play with a man, she will not let the man take fetal fruit and plant fetal crystals.It can be seen that Cheng Wu's woman must have affection for him.Maybe the woman died in an accident, and Cheng Wu returned to her natal home with no one to rely on and nowhere to turn.Cheng Yuan felt sorry for what happened to Cheng Wu. At that time, he was being favored in the palace, and the emperor continued to reward him, so he sent people to send some food and clothing home from time to time, and even took care of Cheng Wu.Cheng Wu did not refuse, and the brotherhood with Cheng Yuan grew stronger day by day.

Cheng Yuan thought of Cheng Wu, and he couldn't help but think of Cheng Rou.

The children of the same concubine, among the many younger siblings, Cheng Yuan impressed the most, one was Cheng Wu, and the other was Cheng Rou.

Cheng Yuan's biological father is a side husband, who still has some status in the family, while Cheng Rou and Cheng Wu's biological father, Ge Shi, is only Cheng Yuan's mother's servant, and he didn't get the title of servant until his daughter was born.

There are many rumors about the Ge family. It is said that he was rescued by the Cheng family on the way to escape from the north. His identity is unknown. He was originally a married man. He lied about the death of his wife and master. .What's more, it is rumored that Ge Shi's wife-master traveled thousands of miles to find her husband and had a secret tryst with Ge Shi.

Cheng Yuan's eldest sister, Cheng Zeqiang, is seven or eight years older than the rest of her siblings. She is calm and precocious. Focus on long-distance and gentle process five.When Ge Shi died of a sudden illness, Cheng Wu was only seven years old, and Cheng Rou had just turned six years old. The husband wanted to adopt Cheng Rou Cheng Wu, but was blocked by Cheng Zeqiang. In the end, he just randomly arranged a remote courtyard and picked a few lazy servants. Send them to take care of them, and let their brothers and sisters fend for themselves.It is conceivable what kind of miserable life the young lady and son who are not favored by concubines will live under the bullying of evil servants.

Cheng Yuan and Cheng Wu are about the same age, and the three of them used to play together when Ge Shi was still there.After Ge's death, Cheng Yuan went to the courtyard to look for Cheng Wu's brothers and sisters. Cheng Wu always said that he was busy so he didn't have time to chat with him.Until one time, Cheng Yuan took a gift and sneaked away, wanting to give the brothers and sisters a little surprise, but suddenly found that the evil servant beat Cheng Wu and Cheng Rou with a stick, accusing them of eating and not working.Cheng Rou desperately protected her brother, the bruises on her young body could not be covered by the tattered clothes, it was shocking.

Cheng Yuan was just a six or seven-year-old doll at the time, and was terrified by the scene.The evil servant who beat him was a close friend of his husband, and he was ordered by Miss Di to act. At this moment, he boldly threatened Cheng Yuan not to mention the matter of this yard to others.Cheng Yuan knew that he was just a son of a concubine, and he couldn't compete with the eldest sister in the Cheng family, so how could he dare to rebel?In order to protect himself and not cause trouble for his side husband's biological father, Cheng Yuan suppressed his sympathy for Cheng Wu and Cheng Rou, and left indifferently despite Cheng Rou's begging.

In the winter of that year, Cheng Yuan's mother was busy with official duties and was stationed abroad for a long time and never returned home. The weather was cold and there was heavy snowfall.In the past, when Cheng Yuan's mother was at home, the servants did not dare to go too far. This time, Cheng Rou couldn't help it, so she reported the evil servant's misdeeds to her husband.However, Cheng Zeqiang was deceived by the evil servant's clever words, thinking that Cheng Wu and Cheng Rou were at fault, and proposed to have a public trial in the ancestral hall in front of the clansmen the next day.

Cheng Rou privately asked Cheng Yuan to help testify, and Cheng Yuan agreed with sympathy.The night before the trial, Cheng Yuan told his side-husband his father the truth, and wanted to ask his father to help.Unexpectedly, Cheng Yuan's own father was timid and fearful, and didn't want Cheng Yuan to be involved, so he gave Cheng Yuan a tranquilizer and let others watch him in the house.The next day at the public trial in the ancestral hall, the side-husband lied that Cheng Yuan was sick and lethargic, and no one could testify.

By the time Cheng Yuan woke up, the public trial was over.Although the righteous husband is benevolent, he will still favor his daughter and servants. No one can prove a felony.Apart from rewarding some clothes and food for Cheng Wu brothers and sisters to show off, the husband plans to let it go.

In a rage, Cheng Rou stole the knife from the kitchen, killed the evil servant at night, and planned to escape from Cheng's house with her brother.Zhengfu led people to stop and persuade, Cheng Rou stabbed Zhengfu with a knife in agitation.But Cheng Rou was young after all, no match for those servants, and was captured in the end.

As a concubine, Cheng Rou attempted to murder her aunt's father, which is an unforgivable crime.When Cheng Yuan's mother came back, she knew that the big mistake was beyond mediation, so she had no choice but to sever the mother-daughter relationship with Cheng Rou in front of the clan and drive her out of the Cheng family.Since then, Cheng Rou has never heard from her again, even when her mother passed away and Cheng Wu ran away from marriage, Cheng Rou never appeared.

———Author’s words———

This chapter begins to reveal the old affairs of the Cheng family, the memories surrounding Cheng Yuan.To make some digressions, I recently watched the movie "Rejuvenation" (Benjamin Button) with a lot of emotions. It is worthy of being an adaptation of a well-known novel. It is about a person's life, but it uses a fantasy proposition to tell about family love in ordinary life. very touching.I recommend everyone to check it out.
