No one expected that the little baby who was said to have caused severe estrangement and mysterious death to Mr. Chi Ge and Mrs. Chi would have such a life experience.

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha exchanged a look. No wonder Chige Lao always kept secrets about this child. No matter how outrageous the rumors outside were, he refused to defend himself or even talk to him. The people closest to Mr. Chi Ge didn’t know the inside story.

Now that they heard what the eldest son said, they suddenly realized that it was not that the origin of this child could not be told, but that the family's scandal should not be made public. There was really no way to explain it to outsiders. It would be fine if the child belonged to someone close to the family. It was Mr. Chige. His mother-in-law, Mrs. Chi’s biological mother, could not open her mouth no matter what. No matter how wronged she was, she could only break her teeth and swallow it into her stomach.

"But eldest son, what does this unknown biological father mean? Could it be that the old lady..."

Before Song Qiyun finished speaking, he was patted by Bai Meng next to him, signaling him not to talk nonsense and embarrass the eldest son.

"You don't have to be like this, Commander. It's been so many years, and there's nothing we can't say. As long as a few..." Chi Rui looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha behind him, "Just don't let too many people know."

"That's for sure. We are not the kind of people who like to gossip." Song Qiyun's eyes suddenly lit up, "My eldest son, how much do you know about this so-called uncle?"

"I'm not particularly impressed. He didn't live in my house for long." Chi Rui narrowed his eyes slightly and recalled, "Except for my grandmother, no one really seems to know about my uncle's biological father. My mother and I at that time The third and fifth uncles in Beijing have asked several times, but my grandmother gritted her teeth and refused to tell her whether she was alive or dead. Since my grandmother refused to speak, my mother and uncles couldn't be more nagging, so until now, this little My uncle’s life experience is still a mystery.”

"Perhaps the old lady really has something to hide." Song Qiyun nodded, "But why did you choose Madam Chi to raise this child at that time? Instead of staying by your side and raising it in the name of your grandson? What if you stayed with me? It's better to be by the old lady's side than to die innocently, or to die unfortunately less than half a year after being born, right?"

"Father, mother also talked about this issue before, but the two aunts who were in Beijing at that time refused to agree, especially the fifth uncle's wife, who was still young and had just married the fifth uncle. She had an extra son for no reason, but she felt sad in her heart. It’s not very comfortable, even if this son is born to my mother-in-law. Besides, if he raises him as a grandson, he has to inform his in-laws, which will cause trouble, so it is better to ask his married daughter to help.”

"That's true." Bai Meng nodded lightly, "It's just that, if I remember correctly, Mrs. Chi also has an older sister and a younger sister, right?"

"The two aunts have long since gone to work in other places with their husband-in-law. They were not in Xijing at that time, so naturally they couldn't be counted on. The only one who can really help my grandmother is my mother." Speaking of this, Chi Rui said softly. He sighed and said, "My father was opposed to it at the beginning. He thought there were other ways to choose. If so, it would be bad for my mother's reputation."

"Such concerns are correct, but why did you compromise later?"

"Because his grandmother came to beg him in person and even knelt down for him. He was helpless by his grandmother. He couldn't really watch his mother-in-law kneel down for him, right? He had no choice but to agree."

"According to what the eldest son said, Mr. Chi Ge, Mrs. Chi's relationship is pretty good, not as bad as the rumors outside, right?" Seeing Chi Rui nodding, Song Qiyun continued to ask, "One more thing, if the eldest son

If you don’t know or don’t want to tell me, you don’t have to answer.”

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"What is Mr. Chi Ge's attitude towards Mrs. Chi's cousin?" Song Qiyun touched his chin, "The rumors outside say that this child is Mrs. Chi's illegitimate son, and the biological father is Mrs. Chi's cousin!"

"This rumor..." Chi Rui looked at Song Qiyun and smiled sheepishly, "It was released after my father and mother discussed it with my cousin and aunt, and with the consent of my grandmother."

"Ah?" This was the first time Song Qiyun saw someone who was spreading rumors about himself. He was a little confused and didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty, not to mention that you are surprised, I find it unbelievable when I hear it. I have never seen anything like this before." Chi Rui smiled bitterly, "To be honest with you, my second brother and I also guessed that the little uncle

His biological father must have a lot of background, otherwise the family would not have made such efforts to preserve his life experience. We even thought..." He glanced at Song Qiyun carefully, coughed twice, "We thought..."

"Don't be hesitant, didn't you just think it might be related to the royal family?" Bai Meng rolled his eyes, "You are completely overthinking it."

"What the Commander-in-Chief said was right. When the robbery and murder occurred later, we knew we had overthought it."

"By the way, does your cousin want your mother to suffer such a stigma? Isn't your mother his sweetheart?"

"It's all said to be rumors." Chi Rui shook his head, "My cousin has been in love with my aunt from the beginning, and it is my aunt who has been begging my grandmother to marry me. She has nothing to do with my mother at all."

"That's right!" Song Qiyun nodded, "Since the rumors have been put out and such a big sacrifice has been made, why did the child get sent away? This is unreasonable!"

"It was because my grandmother changed her mind and said that she could not wrong her daughter and son-in-law. She wanted to give the child to her natal brother to raise, so she asked her father to send someone to send her uncle out of Xijing. Unexpectedly, he left Xijing.

Within two days of arriving in the capital, an accident occurred, and no one in the group, including my uncle, was spared."

Song Qiyun and Bai Meng looked at each other. They never thought that the person who sent this child to death was actually his own mother.

"What was the old lady's reaction after the bad news came back?"

"Reaction?" Chi Rui raised his head slightly and thought for a while, "I don't remember very clearly. She must have been very calm. Anyway, she didn't cry or make a fuss. This made the whole family quite worried. They felt that she had put all the sadness away.

It was all buried in her heart. But her mother and two uncles took care of her for several months and found nothing unusual about her, so the incident passed. But until her grandmother passed away, no one mentioned this little uncle in front of her. But...

"

"But what?"

"I remember my mother said that during the short period of time when my grandmother was back to her original state of mind, she would hold her hand and repeat a sentence over and over again."

"What did the old lady say?"

"She said that she misjudged the wrong person, believed in the wrong person, and harmed her children. She is very sorry and regrets it very much."

Hearing this, Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin. They both lowered their heads at the same time, dipped their fingers in tea and wrote the same word on the small table.
