Mrs. Shi stayed alone in the house for most of the day, then got up and went to Yiwen Courtyard where Shi Zhengkun lived.
Seeing the old lady coming, Shi Zhengkun's wife Zeng Yuwei and their four children were all surprised.
"Mother, why are you here?"
Mrs. Shi looked at Zeng Yuwei, slightly absent-minded.
In order to help Zheng Kun marry the legitimate daughter of the Zeng family, she really sacrificed her face and asked her former friend, Mrs. Yong'anhou, to be a matchmaker. She even used one-third of her dowry as a betrothal gift, and she ended up like this.
Family affairs.
For Zhengkun, she really cared about his upbringing and planned his future with all her heart.
But when she thought of the Li family treating her son so harshly and making him work for the Li family, her heart was so clogged that she couldn't breathe.
Zeng Yuwei felt a little uneasy when she saw that the old lady looked at her in a wrong way.
Her mother-in-law is very easy to get along with, she is easy to talk to, and does not easily embarrass others, but she does not dare to be disrespectful in any way.
She had heard more than one person say that her mother-in-law was a very skillful person.
"I haven't seen Zhengkun for two days, so I wanted to come over and have a look."
When Zeng Yuwei heard about this, she quickly smiled and said: "Forgive me, mother, there are a lot of things going on in the Imperial Academy these days. It was completely dark when my husband came back. I was worried about disturbing my father and mother's rest, so I didn't go to say hello."
Mrs. Shi nodded: "Errand is important, but you can't ignore your body. You have to take good care of it in your daily life."
Zeng Yuwei responded hurriedly.
Mrs. Shi walked around in the yard and said, "I'll go sit in Zhengkun's study."
Zeng Yuwei was stunned for a moment, and when she saw that the old lady was already walking towards the study, she quickly followed her.
Shi Zhengkun's study was very large, with three rooms open, one light and two dark. Rows of bookshelves were filled with books, and many famous paintings and inks were hung on the walls.
The Shi family was a military commander, and these books were collected by several generations of the Shi family. Except for a few that were given to the seventh son, Shi Zhengye, the rest are all in the possession of Shi Zhengkun.
Mrs. Shi didn't touch Shi Zhengkun's things, she just stood in front of the desk and looked through the copybooks he used to practice calligraphy when he was a child.
Before Shi Zhengkun was enlightened, she taught him how to practice calligraphy step by step; when he read, she read to him piece by piece without getting tired of it...
When I thought about this before, I just felt warm, but now...
Mrs. Shi held her throbbing chest, feeling very uncomfortable.
She thought that if the Li family had treated her son well, even if the child was held in the wrong child, she would not be so uncomfortable, painful, and deeply self-blame and guilty.
Mrs. Shi stayed in Shi Zhengkun's study until dark before leaving. Zeng Yuwei personally sent her back to Yixiang Hall. When she returned to Yiwen Court, she saw Shi Zhengkun who had just returned.
"Ms. sir, you are finally back."
Shi Zhengkun looked at his wife: "What's wrong?"
Zeng Yuwei: "Mom came here in the afternoon and has been waiting for you in the study. I just sent her back."
Shi Zhengkun looked surprised: "What's wrong with mother?"
Zeng Yuwei shook her head: "I guess I miss you. You come back so late every day these days. My mother doesn't miss you when she doesn't see you. In the afternoon, I have been looking through the copybooks of your childhood in your study.
"
Hearing this, Shi Zhengkun immediately laughed: "My handwriting was taught by my mother." This is a treatment that neither the eldest brother nor the seventh brother has.
"I'm going to pay my respects to my mother now."
Shi Zhengkun went to Yixiangyuan, but saw no one.
"Fourth Master, the old lady has gone to bed. She asked you to go about your errands in peace and come over to say hello when you are free."
Shi Zhengkun looked doubtfully at the bedroom where the light was still on. His wife said that she had just returned from sending her mother home, and logically speaking, her mother should not go to bed so soon.
Shi Zhengkun felt relieved when he thought of the boy he saw next to his father when he just came over. It must be that his father came back and his mother wanted to talk to him, so she didn't have time to see him.
After thinking about it, Shi Zhengkun smiled and left.
At the same time, in the bedroom, Mrs. Shi and Mr. Shi were sitting on the kang near the window. One looked at Shi Zhengkun's figure walking farther and farther through the window, and the other held a letter and gasped violently.
"how so?!"

Chapter 65, decided to read for free:,!
Mr. Shi and Mrs. Shi had similar reactions. They both found it difficult to accept that the child was held in the wrong hands.
What the two of them couldn't accept the most was the harsh treatment of Li Changsen by the Li family.
"I became a soldier for my father at the age of thirteen... Did the Li family already know that their son was not their biological son?"
The old man's voice was shaking a little.
When his wife gave birth, he stayed outside the ruined temple. He couldn't bear it, so he put the military household's wife into the temple and asked the family's maids and mother-in-law to help deliver the baby.
If he is held responsible for the wrong child, then he is the culprit!
"That woman exchanged her children on purpose!"
Mrs. Shi said with certainty: "But I can't figure out how she did it? Even if I passed out, the maid and mother-in-law would still be here."
The old man was angry and angry: "You gave birth to the baby late at night, maid, and the mother-in-law was first frightened by Beiyan's raid on Rongcheng, and then traveled dozens of miles to help you deliver the baby. She was probably too tired to sleep.
This gave the woman a chance to switch the bag."
Mrs. Shi closed her eyes in discomfort. It took a while before she opened her eyes: "We have to take the child back."
Mr. Shi nodded in agreement: "This is natural. The blood of the Shi family cannot be left outside."
After saying this, the two fell silent again.
After a while, Mr. Shi broke the silence first: "What should I do with Zhengkun?"
I have raised a child for more than thirty years, raised it carefully, and helped him marry a wife and have children. To say that he has no feelings would be a lie.
In addition to feelings, there is also the effort and resources that the Shi family invested in Shi Zhengkun.
It can be said that, except for the eldest son Shi Zhengmao, Shi Zhengkun received more resources from the Shi family than other children.
These are all things that are hard to give up without giving up.
Mrs. Shi looked very troubled: "Although Zheng Kun is not at fault, when I think that all this happened because of his biological parents, and our children suffered so much in the Li family, my heart is blocked.
No, I don’t know how to face him when I see him.”
Mr. Shi sighed. His mood at the moment was so complicated. He blamed himself a little more than Mrs. Shi.
"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have let her go into the temple to give birth with you."
Just when the old couple was feeling sad and having headaches, the maid stood outside the door curtain and whispered: "The old man, the old lady, the eldest gentleman and the eldest lady are here."
Mrs. Shi didn't want to see anyone at the moment, so she waved her hand to the maid to let the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law leave.
But Old Mrs. Shi spoke up: "Let them come in." Seeing Mrs. Shi looking over, she said, "We have to let the boss and his wife know about this. After all, they will be the ones to support the Shi family in the future, and we should also listen to their ideas.
.”
Shi Zhengmao and Mrs. Shi entered the bedroom with worried faces.
Seeing that the faces of Mr. Shi and Mrs. Shi were extremely ugly, Shi Zhengmao asked anxiously: "Father, mother, has something happened to my uncle?"
Mrs. Shi knew that her eldest daughter-in-law had misunderstood her morning gaffe, and immediately said: "Your eldest uncle is fine, and so is the Jiang family."
Shi Zhengmao was confused and looked at his parents who looked shocked: "What are you doing?"
Mr. Shi looked at Mrs. Shi and handed the letter in his hand to Shi Zhengmao: "Read it yourself?"
Then Madam Shi saw the look of shock and disbelief on her husband's face, just like her mother-in-law, and she suddenly became curious.
"What happened?"
After reading the letter, Shi Zhengmao shook his head repeatedly as if he didn't believe it. He looked at Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi for confirmation. After getting confirmation from their eyes, he handed the letter to Mrs. Shi blankly.
Mrs. Shi's curiosity had long been aroused. She took the letter and read it. Then her eyes widened and her mouth opened in surprise: "How could this happen?!"
The fourth brother, Shi Zhengkun, was not his husband’s biological brother, but the son of a military household at the border!
Oh my god, a bloody thing that only appears in story books actually happened in their home!
Mrs. Shi was dumbfounded after reading the letter. At this moment, she completely understood why her mother-in-law was so gloomy that morning.
What if she had raised other people’s sons like jewels for decades, and her own

Her son has been enslaved by others for decades, and she will definitely collapse.
Mrs. Shi silently put the letter back on the table of her parents-in-law's bed. She looked at her father-in-law's ugly face and felt a little sympathetic.
A dignified uncle has been teased by a military couple at the border for decades. It must be very painful to feel this.
Shi Zhengmao and Mrs. Shi didn't know what to say at this moment. They sat silently on their chairs, not daring to express their opinions at will.
Mrs. Shi looked at the two of them and said, "Your brother has suffered so much and must be taken home."
"Take it, you must take it back."
Shi Zhengmao replied instantly. Although he had never met before, he was related by blood. He was really full of sympathy for the wrong brother.
A good son of an uncle became the son of a military household. He could have been rich and well-off, but he could only struggle to survive at the border. When he thought of the difference between the two, Shi Zhengmao couldn't help but feel pity.
His brother is so pitiful and unlucky!
Mrs. Shi also nodded.
To be honest, she didn't have any other feelings about her parents-in-law's biological son being carried by the wrong person, except that she thought it was too bizarre.
It didn't matter to her whether he would be picked up or not.
But if her husband takes a stand, she must support him.
Seeing that her parents-in-law were silent and her husband was full of sympathy, Mrs. Shi hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Zhengkun's side... what should you say?"
When he heard his wife mention Shi Zhengkun, Shi Zhengmao thought of him: "Yeah, what should Zhengkun do?"
Mr. Shi spoke and looked at Shi Zhengmao: "Boss, what do you think?"
Shi Zhengmao thought for a while and said: "Father, mother, I agree to take Li Changsen home, but we have to take care of Zhengkun's side."
As he said this, he looked at his parents' faces.
"Once this matter breaks out, Zhengkun will be a little embarrassed. He is currently serving in the Hanlin Academy. If others know that he is not the son of the Shi family, they will be subject to a lot of rumors."
Mrs. Shi frowned: "Then what do you think we should do? Won't you take your brother back?"
Seeing that his mother was angry, Shi Zhengmao quickly shook his head: "I didn't mean that, I just felt that I couldn't make it too embarrassing. Although Zhengkun was not the son of the Shi family, the Shi family had raised him for more than thirty years. He was better off than a parent.
"
"Besides, Zhengkun has spent so much effort on his father and mother over the years. Are we going to kick him out of the house like this? Then wouldn't all the previous efforts have been in vain?"
The old lady stopped talking.
Mrs. Shi looked at her parents-in-law and said, "Actually, there is a compromise. Our family members only need to know about this matter. We don't need to publicize it to the outside world. It's better if everyone knows about it."
Mrs. Shi frowned: "There must be an explanation for bringing people back. How can outsiders not know?"
Mrs. Shi hesitated for a moment: "Li Changsen is my parents' son. If I take him back, do we have to say that Zhengkun is not my parents' son? Those who are his biological children and those who have raised him since childhood are all sons."
Hearing this, Mrs. Shi and Mr. Shi looked at each other but neither spoke.
Shi Zhengmao clapped his hands: "This is a good idea. Whether it is Zhengkun or Li Changsen, they are both fathers. The motherly son is my brother. Can't we just say that Li Changsen was raised outside?"
"Let's think about it again. You can go back and rest."
...
After coming out of Yixiangyuan, Shi Zhengmao praised Mrs. Shi: "Madam, you are still smart. Zhengkun was carefully raised by the Shi family, and Li Changsen is his biological son. We can't let go of him at will. Choosing one of the two is the stupidest thing."
The best way is to have both."
Mrs. Shi smiled faintly: "How smart am I? You think my mother-in-law and father-in-law wouldn't have thought of this. It's just that they are parents and there are some things that are hard for them to say."
It's almost certain that Li Changsen will be taken back, so why do we still need to ask for their opinions?
It's just that the Shi family couldn't bear to let go of Shi Zhengmao, and having feelings was one of them. The most important thing was that Shi Zhengmao was cultivated by the Shi family with a lot of resources.
He is a Hanlin scholar and is also the uncle of the Zeng family. These are the things that the Shi family can't let go of.
