Chapter 163: The identity of Shen Qingci
He still doesn't understand why his father suddenly went crazy. As the saying goes, a tiger's poison cannot eat its own child, but he really wanted to kill his own son.
In the end, it was the grandmother who made the decision to adopt the younger brother to a distant uncle who died young. However, because the uncle died young and lost all the family property, the six or seven-year-old child had to rely on family members to support him. It was the legitimate son of the Shen family who deserved the glory.
Infinite, but he has been in a disaster since he was born.
"Father, why do you..."
"It's time for you to go down."
Shen Mingze's long and narrow eyebrows narrowed slightly, and his face instantly darkened, but Shen Qingfei did not dare to touch his reverse scales and finally withdrew.
But as soon as he exited, he walked straight towards his courtyard. He looked at the oncoming book boy and kicked him away, his eyes filled with chills: "Even if I raise a dog, he will not bite the owner.
You must be capable!"
When the man came to look for him, only the book boy in front of him knew that the property he bought in Jizhou was also done by this man himself. He thought that he would do it without anyone noticing, but he didn't expect that he would still be caught.
"Eldest Master, please spare your life... Eldest Young Master, please spare your life. It was the master who forced the slave. You know the master's methods. He wants to sell the slave to Mingyue Residence."
The book boy knew that the matter was exposed and was busy begging for his life, but Shen Qingfei's face suddenly turned ugly. How could he not know what Mingyue Residence was?
It was a place where aristocratic children had fun and had fun. The servants inside were all handsome, especially the master who was very observant. He did not expect that his father would use this as a threat. However, considering his usual methods, this did not seem to be surprising.
.
"Get out of here."
When the man came, he only said that he was the third brother's husband and ignored the rest. Now he doesn't know where he is.
The book boy was already handsome, but his frightened eyes were more like a rabbit. Those wet eyes were darting wildly, which made Shen Qingfei want to dig out his eyes. No wonder several close friends always liked to tease him about this book boy.
It seems like there is going to be a replacement around me.
Shen Qingci walked in the streets and alleys of Jizhou, feeling the breath of his childhood. The light rain kept beating on him, but he seemed to be somewhat unmoved.
The rain curtain was getting bigger and bigger, and he seemed to have lost consciousness while walking on the streets of Jizhou. Finally, he stopped at the dilapidated eaves of Yanziwu. Looking at the spider webs on it, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Got up.
"Mommy, we are back."
He held a porcelain jar in his hand, which contained the old man's bones. He still remembered the desolation of his homeland when she pulled him.
From Jizhou to Qinzhou, the illiterate old woman led the six or seven-year-old him to escape. He still remembers the way she carried him on her back in the cold wind and rain, and how she will carry him on her back.
The warmth of being held in your arms.
He has made a mistake since he was born, a mistake that he has not clarified in two lifetimes. His nominal father always looks like he is meeting his father-killing enemy, but what grudge does he have against him?
He couldn't forget the woman's cowardly tears, the man's cruel look, and the Shen family's idly attitude.
In the entire Jizhou Shen family, the only ones who gave him warmth were Shen Qingfei and his grandmother. One gave him chicken legs when he was hungry, and the other saved his life when he was dying and gave his grandmother to his mother.
The decision was given to him.
"Mommy, I have not owed much to many people in my two lifetimes, but you are one of them."
He gently touched the porcelain jar with both hands, and there was a rare tenderness in his voice. He knew that what she was most worried about was the children she left behind in the Shen family, so taking care of them was his responsibility for the rest of his life.
"Mommy, the only girl I've been attracted to in my two lives, she doesn't have me in her heart."
He held the porcelain jar and spoke softly, but the sadness in his eyes seemed to overflow. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that if he and Gu Jinshu were childhood sweethearts, then after Zhou Zidai's riding whip was wielded, the two of them were destined to be.
Destined but not destined.
The few lights in his childhood were eventually destroyed by him bit by bit. When did he ever think about letting go, but what was the result of letting go? She fell in love with Ran Yichen, who teased her like a cat catching a mouse.
hypocrite.
"I once thought about letting go, but she was lame." He took a deep breath and suddenly said a little harshly, "Mommy, I'm actually very scared, afraid that all this is just a dream."
"The bald donkey who hides suffering said that everything in the world has its own destiny, but why is there no possibility of reconciliation between me and her!"
His voice became deeper and deeper, and finally it was more like a whisper. The deep voice blended with the rain and fog outside, and was then covered up by the sound of rain.
Gu Jinshu sat on a recliner not far away and silently looked at the rain outside. While she was waiting for her father to drink medicine, she learned from the housekeeper that Zhou Nianzhen was still alive. She clearly felt that her father's expression relaxed for a moment.
In other words, his father was most likely a descendant of Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty.
She always felt that she had the time, but she didn't expect that there would always be some fog in the world waiting for her to slowly dissect. Of course, the most incredible thing for her was that Zhou Nianzhen in the previous life was indeed dead.
Could it be that because of Ran Yichen's assassination, many things have changed in this life?
If some things have lost their original traces, then where should she go? Should she find a place for herself in this troubled world, or should she continue to huddle in her own one-third of an acre of land and live in peace with the world?
She couldn't see her future clearly and couldn't make corresponding countermeasures.
The reason why Shen Qingci rose to prominence in the previous life was largely because he held the military power of Qinzhou, and in this life Zhou Nianzhen should soon ascend the throne as emperor. Although we don't know how powerful he is, he can be defeated by Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty.
The chosen person should not be a mediocre person.
Ran Yichen's army should be on the border soon, but Jizhou has the Qinghuai waters as a natural barrier. If you want to cross the river to attack Jizhou, you will probably be defeated, and Jizhou will have a chance to breathe.
And this is also the best time for all the aristocratic families to reorganize their power. Although the Shen family, Yang family, and Xiao family in Jizhou are local wealthy families, the clans from the north also have family origins, so this arena battle is obviously not
Something easy.
"What are you thinking about?" Just when she was thinking about how to deal with herself in the future, Shen Qingci appeared next to her like a ghost. Gu Jinshu looked at his clothes that were soaked by the rain and was slightly stunned.
She wanted to raise her eyes and look outside but found that the maids had already been sent out by her, "What's wrong with you?"
