Chapter 144 Recognizing relatives thousands of miles away
Guo Song then nodded with some relief, turned to Sheng Shaoqing and said, "I still have to remind Madam that Wang Xiangzheng is most afraid of others mentioning his past affairs. Since Madam has requests from others, she should be more careful.
.”
Early the next morning, Sheng Shaoqing was awakened by a noise downstairs. She was about to turn over and go back to sleep, when she heard Cui Yun whisper in her ear, "Wang Yuan is here."
"The Prime Minister has stopped him at the door, but he still wants to see you."
"So fast?"
Sheng Shaoqing sat up and put on his coat under Cui Yun's helpless eyes. Then he slowly moved to the bedside and muttered while putting on his shoes, "I came here early in the morning to show off my power. I don't know what to do."
I thought he was the emperor."
Forsythia, who was fetching water nearby, suddenly laughed out loud, "My maid, I think this place is full of capable people. There is an inn in the front that can make the Queen Mother praise her, and there is a village in the back that can make the Queen Mother get up early in the morning."
…”
Sheng Shaoqing rolled his eyes at Forsythia and said, "I don't know where all these monsters and monsters come from!"
Forsythia stuck out her tongue. The Queen Mother was not easy to mess with when she got up early. It would be better for her not to be too talkative.
Sheng Shaoqing yawned as he walked downstairs. After standing at the top of the stairs, he seemed to have just discovered the huge crowd in the store. He turned around in surprise and asked Bai Qing, "Shopkeeper, what are the activities in your store today?"
? Why is it so lively?"
Bai Qing looked at Sheng Shaoqing with a dark look on his face. What activities he could do were not all because of her...
"You...are Mrs. Yuan?"
Sheng Shaoqing looked towards the source of the sound. A thin middle-aged man walked out of the center of the crowd and stood in front of her, looking her up and down inadvertently.
"Uncle! It's her! She was the one who humiliated me yesterday! She actually dared to say that she was my aunt's aunt, where did my aunt come from? She was clearly insulting my uncle!"
Wang Yuan raised his hand to silence his noisy nephew, looked at Sheng Shaoqing hesitantly and said, "Are you...really the daughter of the grandfather of the He family?"
Ji Wenxuan returned to Sheng Shaoqing from behind Wang Yuan, whispered a few words to Sheng Shaoqing, and Sheng Shaoqing nodded with a relaxed expression.
"How can it be false?"
"When the He family fell due to being implicated, even the servant girls didn't care about it, and they lost the then young master of the He family, who was my father."
"After my father got lost, he wandered all the way to the capital. Fortunately, he was taken in by a good family in the capital, and he was able to survive. Otherwise, how could I be here?"
"Can………"
Sheng Shaoqing stared into Wang Yuan's eyes and said with a smile, "Are you going to ask, if my father survived, why didn't you get any news?"
"Have you also forgotten the real reason for the He family's decline at that time?"
Wang Yuan was completely silent. He suddenly remembered that his wife once told him that the real reason for the He family's suffering was not due to incompetence, but...
Sheng Shaoqing knew by looking at his expression that he already believed 80%, and then added more jealously, "Back then, the He family in Chenliu was an aristocratic family that could be called the same as the Wang family. If it weren't for some unforeseen circumstances, the He family would have declined overnight. I
I'm afraid it won't be your turn to be responsible for your niece's marriage."
Guo Song listened nervously for a while. Didn't he remind his wife yesterday not to mention things from the past? Why haven't he said a few words yet? Everything is from the past?
Sure enough, Wang Yuan's expression flashed with anger. He was about to open his mouth to refute, but he thought that everything he said was true and he had no way to refute, so he had no choice but to close his mouth.
But the nephew behind Wang Yuan was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Seeing that his uncle's momentum was suppressed, he immediately defended his uncle and said, "What do you know?! The He family was in such a shabby state at that time, if it hadn't been for my uncle's kindness.
If you marry her, you might end up ruined!"
"Oh? How come I didn't know that your uncle married me out of charity?"
A magnetic female voice suddenly sounded behind Sheng Shaoqing, and everyone's attention was attracted. A plump woman walked in. Wang Yuan hurriedly greeted her, "Madam. Why are you here?"
But she walked past him as if she hadn't seen Wang Yuan, walked up to her nephew and asked, "Ayu, what are you talking about? Why don't you speak?"
The woman's tone was extremely calm, but Ayu in front of him suddenly started to tremble, and he ducked behind Wang Yuan.
Sheng Shaoqing wondered how Wang Yuan's wife found her way here?
Now that my new pretended "niece" has also appeared, this drama is getting more and more interesting.
Wang Yuan came out to smooth things over and said, "Yu'er didn't mean that, don't get me wrong."
Mrs. He also turned around and stared into Wang Yuan's eyes and said angrily, "What does he mean if that's not what he meant?"
"Wang Yuan, don't forget! It was you who begged me to marry you in the first place!"
"Now that you are prosperous, you are going to beat me up and accuse me of trying to outdo you?!"
Wang Yuan looked around at the expressions of the people around him, and was a little embarrassed. He just took his wife aside and patiently explained, "That's not it! It was Yu'er who said that someone in this inn pretended to be from your He family. I just came to investigate.
, Yu’er didn’t mean that, don’t misunderstand me!”
However, Mrs. He threw away Wang Yuan's arm and said without any mercy, "Pretend? Do you think that all the people in the He family are a villain like you? You are a small country official, who can do that?
Come and fight this autumn wind?!"
After saying that, Mrs. He walked up to Sheng Shaoqing and said, "He Min has met my aunt."
"But this is not the place to talk. Refreshments have been prepared in the humble house. Please come with me, aunt."
Sheng Shaoqing was so excited about eating melons that he was suddenly stunned when Mrs. He called her "aunt". How did he end up eating melons on his own head?
"I?"
Mrs. He nodded, "Please don't dislike me, aunt."
Sheng Shaoqing was still in disbelief. He looked at Mrs. He with wide eyes, then looked back at Ji Wenxuan's expression, and gave Ji Wenxuan a crazy wink: What is going on?!
The version of the script discussed last night didn’t include this scene?!
How can you suddenly add drama?!
The price has to be calculated separately!
But Ji Wenxuan smiled quietly and said silently: "The incident happened suddenly, so let's take advantage of the situation."
Go with the flow?
Sheng Shaoqing then dubiously went out at Mrs. He's invitation. However, when he passed by Wang Yuan and his nephew who stuck his neck out from behind to see what was going on, he was so amused by the green and red expressions on their faces that he almost broke down.
achievement.
Everyone in the hall did not expect such a change. They thought they could watch a big show today, but they did not expect that it would be thunderous and rainy, which was not interesting at all.
"Uncle, what should we do now?"
Wang Yuan turned his head and knocked his nephew on the head, making a muffled sound, "You boring bastard! It's not all your fault!"
Wang Yu felt aggrieved and touched the head that was knocked by his uncle, "How can you blame me? Then who knows that what that little girl said is true?!"
"But, does my aunt really have an aunt? Is she still so young?"
Wang Yuan hit Wang Yu's head hard again, "What little girl, that's your aunt!"
Wang Yu looked helpless as he touched his forehead where he had been knocked again, "Uncle, couldn't you knock it somewhere else?"
"Don't come back with me yet!"
Wang Yuan glared at his nephew angrily, and quickly went out to catch up with his wife's carriage.
As soon as he chased him to the door of the store, he found that there was no sign of a carriage at the door. Only the butler who had just stopped him was preparing to board the carriage.
Wang Yuan grabbed Ji Wenxuan and said, "You! What are you doing? Where is my wife?"
Ji Wenxuan looked at Wang Yuan with a smile and said, "Where is your wife going, and what are you asking me for?"
"As for me, I will naturally follow our wife. Wang Xiangzheng, if you have nothing else to do, I am still rushing to serve my wife, so I won't accompany you."
After saying that, Ji Wenxuan lowered the curtain and let Lin Jin set off.
Yun Zhi, who was also in the carriage, asked aloud at this moment, "Yesterday, what happened when I was asleep?"
Why did he feel like everything had changed when he woke up?
Ji Wenxuan looked at Yun Zhi with sympathetic eyes, "Too many things have happened, which one do you want to hear first?"
"I……."
Yunzhi found that there were so many weird things today, so many that he couldn't understand a single thing now, and so many that he didn't even know where to start if he wanted to ask.
Sleeping is really a waste of time.
"First of all, why did the Queen Mother suddenly become Mrs. He's aunt?"
“Isn’t the generation gap too far away?!”
Ji Wenxuan smiled clearly, "The Queen Mother pretended to be Mrs. Wang Yuan's aunt yesterday and taught Wang Yuan's nephew a lesson. Since the Queen Mother has already boasted about Haikou in front of others yesterday, let's create an identity for the Queen Mother."
"Then Mr. He really believes it?"
"Isn't the result very obvious?" Ji Wenxuan saw that Yunzhi was almost angry after hearing this, and said directly, "I also heard about the He family's incident back then. That case was very involved, but because of He
Madam He's family was not involved, so she barely managed to save her life. However, during the search of the house, the young master of the He family was accidentally lost, and there has been no news since then. This became a worry for Madam He's grandfather, and Mr. He
When he passed away, he made a will, and if there is any news about the lost young master of the He family a hundred years from now, he must pay homage to his ancestors and tell him."
Yunzhi was still puzzled, "But how come Mrs. He believed that the Queen Mother was her cousin's daughter? After all, at her age...it doesn't even look like her."
Ji Wenxuan smiled complacently and said, "The young master was only five years old when he went missing. But Mrs. He's grandfather had already married and had children at that time. If we wait until the young master reaches adulthood and then marry and have children later, our daughter and the queen mother will be similar in age."
.”
Only then did Yunzhi realize, "It turns out that Mrs. He's father is about the same age as her uncle. So it makes sense that Mrs. He is about the same age as her aunt."
Yunzhi lowered his head and sighed, the Queen Mother was only twenty years old, so it was a bit wicked to let Mrs. He recognize such an aunt.
However, extraordinary times call for desperate measures. Let’s see what Prime Minister Ji plans to do next.
"But we are here to investigate the false reporting of figures. What's the point of asking the Queen Mother to pretend to be someone's aunt?"
Ji Wenxuan was stunned, remembering what Sheng Shaoqing said to him last night: "Only by penetrating into the enemy can we solve the problem from the source and finally defeat the enemy with one move."
Now, Ji Wenxuan relayed this sentence to Yunzhi intact, and as expected, he saw that he had a puzzled expression similar to his last night, and he closed his eyes to rest with satisfaction.
Sheng Shaoqing was not so comfortable in the carriage in front. She mustered up her energy to cope with Mrs. He's continuous questioning. She had to use countless lies to make up a lie. She now understood this sentence deeply.
Speaking of the emotional part, Mrs. He grabbed Sheng Shaoqing's hand with tears in her eyes and said, "My cousin is really ill-fated and died young. It's really hard on you."
Sheng Shaoqing was about to say that it was neither bitter nor bitter, but was drowned by Mrs. He's tears. After a long time, she raised her head and asked, "How are you doing in the Yuan family now?"
Sheng Shaoqing nodded, and Mrs. He was very pleased, "Finally, the He family's daughter is living a good life."
"I", the more Sheng Shaoqing listened, the more guilty she felt. She couldn't continue the play!
Just when Sheng Shaoqing was about to collapse, the carriage suddenly stopped. Mrs. He got out of the car first, and then asked Sheng Shaoqing to get out.
Sheng Shaoqing looked up at the majestic plaque and thought that the Chenliu and Wang family were really good. No wonder Wang Yuang had to change this plaque as soon as he took office.
Mrs. He wiped away her tears and walked in to welcome Sheng Shaoqing, "The house is simple and not as luxurious as the Yuan family. My aunt will make do with it, so don't dislike it."
Sheng Shaoqing shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, that plaque of yours is so impressive!"
When Mrs. He heard about the plaque, her face immediately became a little ugly. She quickly suppressed her disgust and added, "Isn't it just a brand? There's nothing fancy about it."
"That's different! I've heard before that my niece-in-law is from the Wang family. Today, when I see her, it turns out that she is that nephew."
"I saw him bullying the innkeeper yesterday. I couldn't stand it, so I stopped him with a few words. But I didn't expect that it would end like this today."
When Mrs. He heard Sheng Shaoqing mentioning Wang Yu, her expression changed a bit, and she sneered, "Huh, what you're teaching is that his nephew is not a good person! Every time he gets into trouble, his uncle has to help him clean it up. If
In the He family, such a junior would be whipped!"
Sheng Shaoqing also echoed, but Mrs. He looked sluggish and said, "It's a pity... I didn't tell my cousin that I caused him to live outside, and made him dare not come back to meet us. What a crime!"
Sheng Shaoqing also heard Ji Wenxuan say last night that he had checked the system to see what happened to the He family back then, and finally had a general understanding of the family he wanted to impersonate.
In Sheng Shaoqing's view, this was a particularly unjust, false and wrong case during the reign of Emperor Jing, in which countless innocent people were executed and their families were destroyed.
But it was because a Zhongshu Ling named Cui said a few truths, and these truths appeared in places where they shouldn't have appeared, which made Emperor Jing very angry and irritated the three Zhongshu Ling clans not to tell them.
Anyone related to this Zhongshu Ling will inevitably die.
Emperor Jing's momentum made the people in the court and everyone at that time panic. Who knows if he will be in court today and whether he will still have his head tomorrow?
