In the living room of Shi Mansion, Ye Hong and Shi Caiyun chatted about the marriage of their children. Shi Caiyun's eyes were confused and he was in a trance.
Sun Jicha was musing on his own thoughts and said nothing. Shi Yi looked very similar to him, and Ye Hong once jokingly said that Shi Yi was his illegitimate son. He knew that Ye Hong was joking, so he just laughed at it.
Because the two were similar, Sun Jicha felt that he was in love with Shi Yi and took special care of Shi Yi, but he never thought that Shi Yi could be his son.
Now that he saw Shi Caiyun, Sun Jicha remembered that she was pregnant with his own child, and secretly thought to himself: "Could Yanzi be my son? Oh, it would be terrible if that's the case!"
He was in a nervous mood and eager to know the answer, but it was inconvenient to ask in front of everyone.
At this time, Ye Hong said: "Mrs. Shi, when do you plan to get these two children married?"
Shi Caiyun said: "Just choose an auspicious day. Mrs. Sun, everyone, I'm a little uncomfortable, so I'm sorry. Yi'er, please greet all the elders on my behalf."
Shi Yi asked with concern: "Mom, does your liver hurt again? Do you want me to invite the doctor?"
Shi Caiyun said: "No need, I'll be fine after I lie down for a while."
Two maids helped Shi Caiyun back to the house.
Ye Hong and others knew that Shi Caiyun was suffering from a serious illness, so they didn't take any notice of her when she left. After she left, Ye Hong said: "Yanzi, your mother doesn't look very good. Let's get married quickly and celebrate your mother's happiness."
, maybe her health will be better."
Shi Yi said: "I hope so." Then he said to Shang Wu: "Uncle Wu, clean up the room quickly and let everyone rest."
Sun Jichao said: "No need to bother, let's go to the inn to stay."
Shi Yi said: "There are plenty of rooms at home, but it's not like we can't live in them. Why would we stay in an inn?"
Sun Jichao said: "If you live here, how will you welcome the bride?"
When Shi Yi thought about this, he stopped trying to stay and said, "Then go to Wanfu Tower. The conditions there are good."
Sun Jichao said: "Okay."
Shi Yi sent Sun Jichao and others to stay at Wanfu Tower.
At the second watch that night, a masked man in black clothes came to the Shi Mansion. He floated outside Shi Caiyun's bedroom. He scratched the window lattice paper with his little finger, closed his eyes and peered into the room. He saw Shi Caiyun sitting alone by the kang, pushing the door open.
Enter through the door.
Shi Caiyun was startled, and just as he was about to call someone, the masked man said: "Don't call, it's me!" After saying that, he took off the mask, and it turned out that he was Sun Jichao.
Shi Caiyun said: "It's you!"
Sun Jichao said: "Caiyun, I haven't seen you for more than twenty years. Are you okay?"
Shi Caiyun said: "What does it have to do with you whether I am good or not?"
Sun Jichao said: "I betrayed you back then, but I had no choice but to do so. Now you all know that I have a family and cannot redeem myself for you."
Shi Caiyun said: "It's an old thing, what do you think it does?"
Sun Jichao said: "Yes, let's not mention the past. I am here tonight. I just want to ask if the child you were pregnant with was born?"
Shi Caiyun said: "He was born."
Sun Jicha asked: "Could it be that he is Yanzi?"
Shi Caiyun said: "Exactly."
Sun Jicha's head buzzed and he said sadly: "This is really a sin. I didn't expect Yanzi to be my biological flesh and blood. If he gets married to Xiaohong, wouldn't it be against ethics? This must not be done. It must be done."
Find a way to break them up."
Shi Caiyun said: "I will tell Yi'er the truth. If he knows that Miss Sun is his half-sister, he will not marry her again."
Sun Jichao said: "No, we can't tell Yanzi the truth yet."
Shi Caiyun looked at Sun Jicha hatefully and asked, "Why not?"
Sun Jichao said: "I'm afraid Yanzi won't be able to accept it."
Shi Caiyun snorted and said, "Afraid that Yi'er won't be able to accept it? I think you're afraid that Master Ye won't spare you, right?"
Sun Jichao said: "In short, we can't let Yanzi know the truth now. When the time is right, I will tell him everything."
Shi Caiyun said: "It's up to you. I don't want Yi'er to know that I have a father like you."
Sun Jichao said: "What can we do to separate the two of them?"
Shi Caiyun pondered for a moment and said, "I do have an idea."
Sun Jicha was overjoyed and asked, "What's your idea? Let's talk about it."
Shi Caiyun said: "My late husband was the eunuch Wei Chao who was the former Shangshan Supervisor. You can use this as an excuse to refuse this marriage."
Sun Jicha was happy in his heart and pretended to be sympathetic, saying, "Why are you doing this to yourself? Why do you want to commit yourself to the eunuch?"
Shi Caiyun said: "What's wrong with the eunuch? He treats me sincerely, why not marry him?"
Sun Jicha sighed and said nothing.
Shi Caiyun said: "Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to invite you over. I will explain everything then."
Sun Jichao said: "Okay, let's do it like this."
The next morning, Shi Caiyun asked his son to go to Wanfu Building to invite Sun Jicha and his wife. Sun Xiaohong also came, and everyone sat down in the hall. Sun Xiaohong said: "Mother-in-law, are you feeling better?"
Shi Caiyun smiled and said: "Much better."
Ye Hong rolled his eyes at his daughter and thought to himself: "This damn girl, you and Yanzi haven't even gotten married yet, so you are so shameless in calling her mother-in-law." He smiled at Shi Caiyun and said, "Mrs. Shi, let's get married."
The date has been decided. I checked the almanac and found that the fifteenth day of this month is an auspicious day for getting married. I want to set it on that day. What do you think?"
Shi Caiyun said: "Okay."
Ye Hong said: "We don't have many guests here. Eighty tables are enough to seat us. Your mansion is spacious and can accommodate it. I wonder how many guests Mrs. Shi has here?"
Shi Caiyun said: "We don't have many guests here, that is, Yi'er's colleagues, so three or five tables are enough for us."
Ye Hong said: "As for the food and wine, don't be careless. Don't let your friends underestimate you. You should try to be rich. How many cooks do you have in your house? I wonder how their cooking skills are? If there are not enough, we will go out and hire a few chefs."
The chef came over to help."
Shi Caiyun said: "Okay."
Ye Hong wanted to say something more, but Shi Caiyun took over the conversation and said: "Mr. Sun, Mrs. Sun, there is something I think it is necessary to explain to you two before Yi'er and your love get married."
Ye Hong said: "What's the matter?"
Shi Caiyun said: "You two probably don't know yet, but my deceased husband was Eunuch Wei of the Wei Dynasty, the eunuch in charge of the former Shangshan Supervisor."
Shi Yi was startled when he heard this and thought: "Mother, why don't you open which pot?" He said, "Mother, what are you talking about?"
Ye Hong and her daughter were also shocked when they heard this.
Sun Jichao pretended to be surprised and said: "Mrs. Shi's late husband was actually an eunuch? Oh, how could this be?"
Shi Caiyun said: "I don't want to hide this matter, lest the two of you blame us in the future when you learn the truth."
Sun Jicha sighed and said, "Mrs. Shi, I'm very sorry. We have to think about Xiaohong and Yanzi's marriage again. We're leaving!"
Sun Xiaohong shouted: "Dad, what else are you thinking about? Is there anything to consider?"
Ye Hong said: "Xiao Hong, you must not be rude, why are you so unruly?" Then he said to Shi Caiyun: "Mrs. Shi, let's say goodbye."
Shi Caiyun said: "Yi'er, send Mr. Sun and Mrs. Sun off for my mother."
Shi Yi sent them out of the living room, and Sun Xiaohong said: "Dad, what does it matter if my mother-in-law's deceased husband is an eunuch? Why do you have to think about it again?"
Sun Jicha said: "We'll talk about it when we get back."
Shi Yi sent them out of the house, then returned to the living room and said to Shi Caiyun: "Mother, why do you want to mention the Wei Dynasty? What if the third uncle is worried and doesn't agree to the marriage?"
Shi Caiyun said: "Yi'er, we can't hide this matter. Sooner or later, your third uncle and the others will know about it. If you conceal it deliberately, they will look down on you. It's better to explain it in advance. If your third uncle cares about this matter, that's it.
You and Miss Sun are not destined to be together. Based on my son's appearance and ability, he can't find any good woman. Even if he doesn't marry Miss Sun, there will be no regrets."
Shi Yi said: "Mom, I won't marry anyone other than Xiaohong in this life." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Seeing how determined his son was, Shi Caiyun thought to himself: "How can this be good?"
The Sun family returned to the guest room of Wanfu Building. Ye Jinquan was sitting in the hall, drinking tea and chatting with Shan Sinan, Zhou Yunquan, and Sun Yunhe. Seeing that they were back, Sun Xiaohong looked unhappy.
Ye Jinquan said: "What's going on with Xiaohong? Is the marriage not going well? What's wrong?"
Sun Jichao said: "Hey, don't mention it, Hongmei, you can talk to your father-in-law."
Ye Jinquan said: "Is there really something going on? My dear, what is the matter that has not been settled?"
Ye Hong sat aside and said, "Oh, Yanzi is such a kid. He has been hiding it from us. If Mrs. Shi hadn't told her, we would still be in the dark."
Ye Jinquan said: "What is the big deal?"
Ye Hong said: "Mrs. Shi's deceased husband was Wei Chao, the eunuch who was formerly the chief eunuch of Shangshan Supervisor."
Ye Jinquan was surprised and said: "This is actually happening."
Sun Xiaohong said: "What's wrong with the eunuch? What does this have to do with Yanzi?"
Sun Jicha said: "Xiaohong, you girl is so clueless. What kind of family we are, how can we marry a eunuch? This is absolutely impossible."
Sun Xiaohong said: "Dad, if you don't agree, I will die." After that, she ran out.
Ye Hong knew that his daughter had a strong temperament and could do whatever she said. He was afraid that she would commit suicide and shouted: "Yun'er, go and watch your sister. Don't let her do stupid things."
Sun Yunhe chased after him. When he saw Sun Xiaohong entering the room, he jumped forward and pushed the door. The door was bolted but did not open. He shouted: "Sister, open the door!"
No one answered inside. After a while, there was only a bang in the room, like a chair falling over. Sun Yunhe screamed secretly and kicked open the door. He saw Sun Xiaohong hanging on the beam and a chair fell at her feet.
.
Sun Yunhe called out "Sister!" He drew out his sword and cut off the hanging rope. Sun Xiaohong fell down. Sun Yunhe held her up with one arm and shouted: "Sister, what are you doing?"
Sun Xiaohong said: "If dad doesn't allow it, I will die. You can stop me this time, but you can't stop me next time."
Sun Yunhe said: "You silly girl, why bother? Don't be impulsive. Just wait and let me discuss it with dad. Marrying a eunuch is not a big deal. I think dad will agree."
