The Marquis of Yongchang hides great wealth in a low profile. It would be an exaggeration not to say that it is as rich as the country. However, it is also true that there are few aristocratic families in Beijing who can compare with it.
Even if some people can belittle the title of Marquis because it is only a virtual one, how can this huge wealth not move people's hearts?
The most prominent among them is Ning Yusheng, the younger brother of Yongchang Hou.
Ordinarily, they are the only legitimate sons of the Ning family in Yongchanghou, and should help each other, but the reality is the opposite.
Yongchang Hou was the eldest son, and he was the fifth in line, so he was stuck in the middle. Moreover, Ning Yusheng was not very lucky. He was born with dystocia, and Yongchang Hou's mother suffered from severe hemorrhage after giving birth to him and could not be saved.
Yongchang Bo is quite like Emperor Qi Xiao. He had a lot of concubines, but he looked at Mrs. Yongchang Bo like a son with deep love. When Mrs. Yongchang Bo passed away, he even turned gray in sadness, but after the sadness,
Well, the position of the head wife is vacant, and then the concubine's wife's position is also in decline.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Yongchang Bo blamed Ning Yusheng for the death of his beloved wife, feeling that if it had not been for giving birth to him, his beloved wife would not have left him in childbirth.
Contrary to Ning Yusheng's treatment, Yongchang Bo cherished his eldest son, cherished him and did not forget to nurture him, making him a qualified heir.
Yongchang Hou was still young when his mother passed away, and under the influence of his father, he also resented Ning Yusheng. He did not bully him, but he was not close to him either.
Until Uncle Yongchang passed away, Marquis Yongchang, who was only seventeen years old, inherited the title. He shouldered the burden of a big family with his weak shoulders, and others gradually matured.
Ning Yusheng was only seven years old at that time.
Yongchang Hou began to understand that his mother's death was not to blame on his younger brother, and began to feel guilty for neglecting his younger brother for many years, and began to assume the responsibility of an older brother.
Because of his guilt, Marquis Yongchang responded to Ning Yusheng's requests and never let him suffer any injustice since he was seven years old.
Normally in a situation like theirs, even if the elder brother continues to protect his younger brother, after the younger brother gets married, the family will be separated and he will open a separate house to live alone. This is the case for most families in Beijing. This is already unwritten
rule.
But the Yongchang Marquis Mansion never existed. If Ning Yusheng and his wife hadn't gone too far later and chilled the Yongchang Marquis's heart, they would probably still live together today.
Mrs. Yongchang Hou had suffered from cold when she was young and had difficulty conceiving. Yongchang Hou loved his wife. While the imperial doctor was treating Mrs. Yongchang Hou, he never had the idea of taking a concubine and kept treating Mrs. Yongchang Hou.
heart of.
Not only that, Ning Yusheng and his wife who lived in the same house often comforted Mrs. Yongchang, who was very moved by Yongchang Hou's younger brother and sister-in-law. Naturally, she was also very kind to them.
No, they even thought of adopting their child.
Nineteen years ago, Mrs. Yongchang finally got pregnant. She gave birth to a baby boy in ten months of pregnancy.
But no one expected that nineteen years later, it was suddenly revealed that the child was not the son of Yongchang Hou, but the son of Ning Yusheng's aunt.
Ning Yusheng originally wanted to eliminate Yongchang Hou's biological son from future troubles, but his plan was known to his wife, and the child was secretly sent to the countryside and hidden by his wife.
"Ning Wu and his wife are not the same thing. The child was indeed exchanged by Mrs. Ning Wu, but the one she sent back was not the biological son of the Marquis of Yongchang, but her own nephew from her natal family."
Speaking of this little coconut, one has to sigh at Mrs. Ning Wu's forbearance, "Mrs. Ning Wu had already made preparations to change children when she changed her son to the son of Marquis Yongchang. It just so happened that her brother had a mate and Mrs. Marquis Yongchang
She got pregnant at about the same time and gave birth to a son."
"Mrs. Ning Wu's younger brother's sister-in-law is a powerful one, and she marries at a low age. She is infertile but does not allow others to have her husband's children. Her younger brother in the house is not even allowed to have concubines.
Yes, she sells one whenever there is one, and the place where she sells it is not a good place."
"That outer room has been secretly hidden by Mrs. Ning Wu's second brother. What's funny is that their whole family knows about the existence of that outer room. The old lady in the mansion even sent someone to take care of the outer room when she was pregnant."
"It was all well hidden in the first place. After the child was born, he might have been too happy and exposed it in front of his sister-in-law. She is the eldest daughter of the deputy commander of the imperial army. If there is suspicion, it is only a matter of time before she is found out.
.”
Mrs. Ning Wu's natal family could only be considered a small aristocratic family in the capital, and they did not dare to confront the deputy commander of the imperial army at all. They just realized that their second brother Nuo had suspicions, so they were afraid first and asked for the best marriage.
My dear Mrs. Ning Wu, I hope she can keep the child.
Mrs. Ning Wu's head turned like this, hey, this is not good.
So she sent Marquis Yongchang's biological son to the same village as his wife, but he was sent to two different families for adoption.
Mrs. Ning Wu did not mean to keep Yongchang Hou's son alive, but she was making preparations to replace her concubine with the prince of the Hou Mansion in the future. A blood test was required to identify her relatives. Yongchang Hou's own son was left there just to wait for him.
The day will come in the future to take his blood and use it.
Unlike the treatment of those who are blood relatives and those who are just used, Mrs. Ning Wu's attitude towards the two children is completely different. The outer wife is raised well by the trustee who spent money, while the Yongchang Hou child is well taken care of.
However, the son was sold by Ren Yazi to an infertile couple in the village.
"That child is also lucky. Although the couple is poor, they treat him very well. They really treat him as their own son."
"Ning Wu and Mrs. Ning Wu have drugged Mrs. Yongchang Hou more than once. Mrs. Yongchang Hou has been having difficulty conceiving not only because of her childhood. There are also many contributions of Ning Wu and his wife; that is, Mrs. Yongchang Hou
After getting pregnant, the two of them have not stopped having sex in private."
"The child was born with a disease, and his body and bones were extremely poor. Not only did his adoptive parents never stop seeing him, they also sent him to school."
"It's fortunate that you don't know how to try it, Rong Qingquan, oh, Rong Qingquan is the name of Yongchang Hou's son."
"Perhaps even God couldn't bear to see it. On his way to Beijing to take part in the examination, Rong Qingquan happened to stay in the same inn as the Marquis Yongchang. Rong Qingquan looked very much like the Marquis Yongchang. The father and son were almost carved out of the same mold. They stood there.
No one believes them even if they are not related by blood."
The Marquis of Yongchang didn't trust the 'son' in his house because his brother who had been kind to him for decades had his own son and harmed his wife. Firstly, because he was hidden by Mrs. Ning Wu.
, the second reason is because the child doesn’t look like him and he doesn’t trust his wife.
Therefore, Yongchang Hou found his biological son and did not hold a banquet to recognize him. He just took him back to his house and settled down. He himself started to investigate along with Ning Wu and his wife.
This time he went out of Beijing to check for himself in the village where the child was sent.
