Chapter 1133: A Replaced Life
"Madam, I have something very important to tell you. Take a few deep breaths first and calm down. No matter what I say next, don't worry."
Lin Qinshuang's health was not very good. Qi Yuanhang was afraid that Lin Qinshuang would hurt her body when she was angry, so he repeatedly reminded her.
Qi Yuanhang's attitude made Lin Qinshuang feel a bad premonition in her heart. Her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up. Her beautiful eyes stared at Qi Yuanhang tightly, and her voice became trembling: "Husband, what happened? You must tell me honestly."
Qi Yuanhang comforted Lin Qinshuang for a while, and then he told the news from Lishui County.
"That's how it is, I feel..."
However, before Qi Yuanhang finished speaking, she was interrupted by Lin Qinshuang. She looked at Qi Yuanhang with a pale face and said in a trembling voice: "What did you say? Zidan is not my son? My biological son was replaced by a peasant woman?"
All this was too incredible. Lin Qinshuang did not dare or wanted to believe it. When she was born in Qi Wang, she was wandering outside because of the refugee, which made the child feel bad for her. Over the years, she has always felt that she owed the child and was inevitably more pampered with him.
But now Qi Yuanhang said that the child she had loved for twenty years was not her own. How could Lin Qinshuang accept it?
"Husband, will there be any misunderstandings in this? Zi Dan, how could he not be my son?"
As he was talking, Lin Qinshuang's tears couldn't help but flow down, her slender body trembled slightly, and her whole body was so fragile that it seemed as if she would completely collapse with a light touch.
How could this be so? How could this be so? How could the child she has raised for twenty years be not her own?
Seeing Lin Qinshuang's appearance, Qi Yuanhang's face showed a feeling of indulgence. He couldn't help but sit over and embraced Lin Qinshuang into his arms. After being hugged by his husband, Lin Qinshuang felt sad and started crying.
Qi Yuanhang didn't say anything, but just gently patted Lin Qinshuang's back and silently sootheed her emotions.
After Lin Qinshuang cried for a while, she seemed to have finally adjusted her mentality. Her tears were not as fierce as before. She sniffed, but did not come out of Qi Yuanhang's arms. Instead, she asked in a depressed voice: "Husband, is this true? But there is evidence that this may have been fabricated by someone else, and she deliberately set up a situation..."
Just hearing Lin Qinshuang's words, Qi Yuanhang knew what she thought. Lin Qinshuang had been hurting Qi Wang for twenty years and had already hurt him to the core. She is a child who loves children. After so many years of emotional efforts, she cannot accept that Qi Wang is not her child, so she can say that this is someone digging a hole to plot against him.
However, Qi Yuanhang is still very smart enough to sit in the position of Prime Minister. He is not as simple as Lin Qinshuang's thoughts. The other party can tell so many details, and even the birthmark on Qi Wang's legs can know. There are probably some problems.
The worst case is that the one in their family is indeed the son of a farmer, and the farmer in the countryside family is their real son.
When Qi Yuanhang thought of this possibility, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Although Qi Wang's talent is not as good as Qi Nuo, it is already very good to be able to pass the Jinshi exam at the age of 18. In addition, he has a father-in-law who is the Minister of Justice, so the future journey will not be too difficult. Qi Yuanhang has always been proud of having two such outstanding sons, but now someone tells him that his son may be fake...
Even though Qi Yuanhang has a good cultivation, he can hardly control his temper at this time.
Lin Qinshuang was uneasy when she found that Qi Yuanhang had not spoken. She couldn't help but raise her head from Qi Yuanhang's arms, and looked at the other party with moist eyes. Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Qinshuang couldn't help but ask, "Husband, do you think about this..."
She didn't dare to ask the following words. Lin Qinshuang felt like there were countless cats in her heart. She felt so uncomfortable. She grabbed the collar of her chest and asked in a trembling voice: "If this is true... husband, what should Zi Dan do?"
Qi Wang was raised by them, and his talent was outstanding in all kinds of talents and temperaments. Now he has become married and has children. If what Lishui County Magistrate said was true, wouldn’t his life be ruined?
At this moment, Lin Qinshuang even had an absurd thought in her heart, thinking that even if it was fake, she would not want her loving child to leave her and return to the countryside to suffer. This was unfair to him.
All the changes in Lin Qinshuang's expression were seen by Qi Yuanhang. After a moment of silence, he whispered: "I have to send someone to see it. After all, that person knows Zi Dan's birthmark. If it is true, our children must not be exposed."
Lin Qinshuang's mouth moved, trying to say something, but when she said something to her mouth, she didn't know what to say. She remained silent. After a long time, she said, "I'm going to Lishui County."
As soon as this said, Qi Yuanhang was stunned. He stared at Lin Qinshuang for a while before saying, "Madam, why do you have to do this?"
It will take three days and three nights to go to Lishui County. If you are traveling normally, it will take at least ten days to complete. Here, you will be in a high and far-reaching way, and the hardships of Lin Qinshuang, who is delicate and weak, can she bear it?
"Just send someone for your husband, you don't have to work so hard."
Although Lin Qinshuang is weak, she is extremely stubborn in some aspects. How can she not care about her children? How much truth can she find out by the sent subordinates? She is the person involved and Qi Wang's mother. If she goes there, she should be able to find out the truth as quickly as possible.
"Husband, let me go. If I can't find out the truth, I will never be at peace in my life. I must know who is my real child."
She had to figure out who the child she had born after ten months of pregnancy. If she waited at home, she would probably not be able to calm down.
Seeing Lin Qinshuang insisting, Qi Yuanhang had no choice but to nod and agree.
It was not so easy for the Prime Minister’s wife to travel, so Qi Yuanhang personally arranged it. Early the next morning, Lin Qinshuang got on the carriage and took her people to Lishui County.
After Xu Chengjun learned about this, he asked his man if he knew what had happened.
"Husband, my mother didn't say she was leaving yesterday, why did she leave so early today? Do you know what happened?"
Qi Nuo shook his head, feeling a little strange in his heart. His mother was not in good health and never liked to go out. How could she suddenly run out this time?
"I don't know about this. I'll go back and ask my father and see what happened."
Xu Chengjun nodded, but did not ask anything more.
Today is a day of rest and there is no need to attend court. After Qi Nuo finished his breakfast, he went to the main courtyard.
Qi Yuanhang was sitting in the study and practicing calligraphy. There was a stack of finished rice paper next to him. Qi Nuo glanced at the handwriting on it and found that the pen tip of each character was not very stable. From the notes on the paper, it can be seen that the mind of the person who wrote was not very stable.
Qi Nuo's eyes flashed, and he called respectfully: "Father."
Qi Yuanhang did not speak until he finished writing a piece of paper in his hand, and then placed the brush under the pen holder beside him. He glanced at the paper he wrote and placed it on the table next to him. The ink on the paper had not dried, and when he threw it like this, the handwriting on it was stained.
"Did my father have something to worry about?"
Qi Nuo finally couldn't help asking. Qi Yuanhang shook his head. Before the matter was revealed, he didn't want to tell Qi Nuo, so as not to worry about him, and he couldn't help him, and it would be better if he didn't know anything.
Seeing that Qi Yuanhao didn't want to say it, Qi Nuo didn't ask anymore, but talked about work.
On the other side, Qi Wang and Qin Yanran also knew that Lin Qinshuang had left with a large number of people early in the morning. At this time, Qin Yanran was lying on the bed to recuperate because of her bad relationship, while Qi Wang sat aside and talked to her.
After hearing the news from the servants, Qin Yanran asked strangely: "Husband, why did she leave suddenly? I didn't hear her talk about this yesterday. Is this happening?"
Qi Wang shook his head and said, "I don't know this. Yanran, don't think too much. Maybe it's because of my uncle's family that my mother left in such a hurry."
Qin Yanran was simple-minded. When she heard Qi Wang say this, she didn't think much about it. She quickly changed the subject and talked about other things.
However, Qi Wang was not as simple as Qin Yanran. His mother left too hastily. This was something that had never happened before. For some reason, Qi Wang felt a little uneasy and always felt that something he didn't know had happened.
Maybe he should go and ask his father if something happened.
However, even Qi Nuo did not know where Lin Qinshuang had gone from Qi Yuanhang, so Qi Wang naturally had no idea. After Lin Qinshuang left, Xu Chengjun took over the affairs of all sizes and big things in the mansion and managed the entire Prime Minister's Mansion properly. Except for Lin Qinshuang, the person who was no longer there, everything seemed to be different from before.
Qi Wang's heart was always worried, and he always felt that there was a hidden tide on the surface of calmness, but nothing happened for several days in a row, and Qi Wang's heart was slowly relieved.
However, Qi Wang, who was in Lishui County at this time, did not know that his original mother was rushing to this small county town with people.
Lishui County says it is big or small. In recent years, because of good public security, the cases tried by the county government are basically thieves and small fusses, and no major cases have ever happened. As a result, the incident caused by Wang Zhaodi this time caused a storm in the small county town, and the peaceful life in the county town was broken. After everyone met, they would talk about Wang Zhaodi's change of children.
Passerby A: "I think this is too strange. Can the wife of ours not serve? So easily asked her to replace the child?"
Passerby B: "You don't know this, right? I heard that the Prime Minister's wife was in trouble and was rescued by Wang Zhaodi's biological mother. She happened to be pregnant at that time and found that the family was in good condition, so she exchanged her child for her and brought her to raise her child."
Passerby C: "Your news is behind. I have heard that Wang Zhaodi has not treated her well after changing her children. She asked a good official to work as a small worker in a restaurant. All the money she earned was taken to support her own son. She was so bad that she was so bad that she could find it.
Passerby: "It's true, my family is from Sanhe Village. I have heard of this. When the noble lady was taken away by her family, she gave the Wang family a lot of money. Just to thank them for their life-saving grace, the Wang family bought a lot of land with the money and jumped from a poor household to a big family in the village. If it weren't for Wang Dabao's big hand, their family would have been much better than ours."
"That's right, although the people from the Wang family saved them, didn't they give them money? This kind of kindness was settled, but what did Wang Zhaodi do? She actually changed her children."
"Her children are really happy. They eat delicious food and drink spicy food in the Prime Minister's Mansion and live a good life of luxury and wealth. They just feel sorry for the real noble young man who digs food in the soil and can't even eat during the famine years..."
"It's so miserable. I heard that the young master named who was replaced seemed to be working in Yuelai Restaurant..."
"Yes, yes, I've seen him, hey, don't say that, he is worthy of being the young master of an official family. He looks so pretty, with fine skin and tender flesh, and doesn't look like a farmer's family raised."
"That's not. The dragon gives birth to a dragon and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix. The mouse's son can dig holes. He is the children of officials. How can he be like our mud legs?"
The county town is so big, and Qi Wang's identity was quickly revealed. In the past few days, the guests at Yuelai Restaurant were full of people, and a large part of them came to watch Qi Wang, the poor young master in distress.
Qi Wang was transferred from the kitchen to the lobby by the boss and turned to the guy's work. Not to mention anything else, he got a lot of rewards.
Qi Wang held the plate and walked through the middle of the table in the lobby, and soon delivered the freshly prepared dishes to the new guest's table.
"Please use it slowly, please."
After setting the dishes, Qi Wang turned around and prepared to leave, but was stopped by the guest.
Three young men were eating at this table. Qi Wang had seen them and knew that they were the young men from the business family in the county. They often ate in this Yuelai restaurant. They had seen each other several times, but because Qi Wang had been working in the kitchen at that time, he did not have much anxiety with them.
The young man in charge looked at Qi Wang standing there with a smile, and a light full of interest flashed in his eyes: "Mr. Qi, don't go to work first, we brothers have something to say to you."
The young master who talked to Qi Wang was surnamed Zhang. He had more than a dozen teahouses at home. He was one of the top rich households in this county. Although he had a smile on his face, his words were not so nice. The three words of Young Master Qi seemed to be deliberately irritating people's nerves.
Qi Wang's face was not upset, and he was not angry because of his childish provocation: "Mr. Zhang, I still have something to do, I can't stay longer..."
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Zhang took out a small silver ingot from his purse and placed it on the table. He smiled and said, "I'll give you the money, and have a good chat with me. If the man is happy, you will definitely benefit me."
Qi Wang's face was not as angry as being humiliated. He reached out and picked up the silver ingot, squeezed the weight, and it was estimated that it was ten taels before he put it back in his pocket.
"What does Mr. Zhang want to talk to me?"
You can easily say anything if you have money, but just a few words can easily earn ten taels of silver. This transaction will not be lost.
Mr. Zhang obviously didn't expect Qi Wang to accept the ten taels of silver without any grudges. The expression on his face changed slightly, and his tone became different from before.
"Mr. Qi, aren't you angry?"
Mr. Zhang thought so and asked this question, if this man was really the young master of the Prime Minister's family, how could he collect the money so vainly? Did he have no self-esteem and pride at all? At this time, shouldn't he just leave and not bow his back for five dou of rice?
After living at such an old age, Qi Wang could guess clearly what the other party thought with just one glance.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and ancient society had a clear class, and the merchant status was the lowest. Qi Wang's identity as the son of the prime minister is in a sensation, but because there is no conclusion yet, it is impossible to be sure that he is the real son of the prime minister. Now he is just an ordinary young man in the hall.
No matter if you are watching the fun or having any other mentality, those who can come to Yuelai Restaurant to find him will have some indescribable thoughts.
However, Qi Wang didn't care about these things. No matter what kind of small thoughts he was, if you want to keep him talking, you can just give him money.
These people have little thoughts, but they dare not show it to their face. After all, he is likely to be the son of the prime minister. If the conclusion is finally made, their identities are very different. How dare they offend Qi Wang?
Such people have seen a lot of people these days, and for him, they are actually here to give him money.
Therefore, after Mr. Zhang finished speaking, Qi Wang said in surprise: "Why am I angry? Mr. Zhang, you gave too much, just let me speak. Naturally, I am not as respectful as I follow my orders."
Qi Wang's attitude was too calm, as if it was normal to use money to chat with him. His overly calm attitude made Mr. Zhang feel very uncomfortable. He obviously wanted to step on this person who might be the son of the prime minister, but why did he spend money in the end but he didn't feel refreshed?
The other two young masters are not as sloppy as Mr. Zhang. They are simple-minded. Seeing that Mr. Zhang stops talking, they both couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Qi, what would you do if you finally find out that you are really the son of the prime minister? Will you take revenge on the village woman who changed you? Will it make their family restless?"
Qi Wang glanced at the two young masters who were waiting for their answers with great enthusiasm, and then reached out to them: "Give money before answering."
The two young men choked, but they still paid the money very neatly and put it in Qi Wang's palm.
"Can you say this now?"
Qi Wang smiled and said frankly: "The state-owned legal families have family rules. I think it's not my turn to manipulate this matter."
The young master who paid the money and wanted to hear how Qi Wang took revenge: "..."
It was quite surprising, this answer was really tricky. The fastest update for Lily is free and has no anti-theft or anti-theft.
