Rebirth of marriage

Xie Jiu nodded, "Probably so, but I didn't find out where Nihuang was raised before he was three years old, and where the boy was moved to, but..."

She paused and looked at Duke Zhen, "Her maid will go to the pawn shop every once in a while to pawn some bright red dresses. Those dresses are expensive and come from Jinxiu Pavilion. She is a well-dressed man wearing a veil. The woman went to buy it.”

She guessed that the woman was Song Nianru. She planned to find an opportunity to lure people out and go to her house to find a secret passage. Before she could take action, she recognized the Duke of Zhen first. However, with the help of Duke Zhen, she It was much easier for her.

A widow secretly bought a bright red dress, and then asked her maid to pawn it. It was most likely that an outsider had a concubine, and she was afraid of being discovered so she destroyed the evidence. She thought her hint was obvious, but Zhenguo Gongzu and Sun Both of them were straight men, and they were immersed in sadness and anger, without thinking about it at all.

After hearing what she said, Zhenguo was fair and said, "Her pitiful illness and weakness are really fake. I will kill her with my own hands to avenge you."

"Then Second Sister." Realizing that it was inappropriate to call her that way in front of Xie Jiu, Zhao Qingyun hurriedly changed his words, "She is the one who will replace Second Sister in the house. She is Uncle Qian's child. What does grandfather plan to do?"

Duke Zhenguo's eyes were filled with sadness, "If it is found out that she was involved in this matter, I will not tolerate her. If, she is innocent..."

He looked at Xie Jiu with some embarrassment, "Son, Qian Biao's father saved my life. I have long regarded Qian Biao as my own child. If Nihuang is innocent, I can't ignore her, but don't worry, it's your turn." I will ask her to return it to you, and I will find a match for her as soon as possible and get her married."

Xie Jiu had already found out clearly about Duke Zhen Guo's feelings for Qian Biao. She expected that he would keep Qian Biao's child, but she asked, "Is Nihuang really Qian Biao's child?"

"What do you mean?" The grandfather and grandson were shocked.

Xie Jiu saw that their grandfather and grandson had not yet turned around, and asked, "Why doesn't the old lady allow the government to fax the news about the fake princess?"

Without waiting for their answer, Xie Jiu asked again, "How did the old lady treat Uncle Qian in the past? If Nihuang was Uncle Qian's child, would she dote on him like this?"

"I checked the Qian family's property. There are two not-so-profitable shops and some good farmland. After Uncle Qian died, it was enough for Song Nianru to live alone with a few servants, but she couldn't afford those gorgeous clothes. Where did her money come from? Come?"

After three questions in a row, the grandfather and grandson of Zhenguo finally thought about the matter of men and women.

The old lady did not allow the palace to discuss the real and fake princess, most likely because of a guilty conscience. This was objectively analyzed by their ancestors and grandchildren before, but later he asked Xing'er about the birthmark on the fake Nihuang, and he overturned his previous conclusion. .

But now that the real granddaughter is standing in front of him, he is very sure that the old lady is indeed guilty. She knows that the one in the house is fake. As for the birthmark, it can also be faked. After the child comes back at the age of three, it is impossible for a grandfather to cheat on his granddaughter. skirt to see what the birthmark looks like.

As Xie Jiu asked, if it were really Qian Biao's child, would the old wife treat her well?

Duke Zhen Guo knew very well that no, the old wife did not like Qian Biao that much, not to mention Qian Biao's child. Even she did not like the child brought from Huai'an that much, otherwise she would not have let the little baby follow Yun Dai to Shacheng. .

But the fact is that my old wife has loved Nihuang for more than ten years. Why would she love other people's children?

Duke Zhen Guo thought of a certain possibility and found it absurd and unbelievable. He looked at Xie Jiu in shock.

Xie Jiu looked at the Duke of Zhen like this and couldn't bear it for a moment, but he still slowly added, "I heard that it was the old lady who served as matchmaker for Qian Biao."

Yes, Qian Biao fell in love with Song Nianru at first sight, and he failed to control it before the marriage and took her body. This was the first time he met Song Nianru after the incident.

Qian Biao was the child he raised. He believed that he was not a hot-tempered person and would not do such stupid things. It must be Song Nianru's problem, so his first impression of Song Nianru was very bad.

But after calming down, he felt that maybe he was partial to Qian Biao, which was why he thought the worst about Song Nianru. In addition, after Song Nianru got married, he was considerate to Qian Biao and filial to his mother-in-law, so he gradually gave up that prejudice.

The voice of thanking the wine slowly sounded again, "Do you know how the old lady met Song Nianru?"

"She almost fell down while offering incense. Song Nianru saved her. The two fell in love. Seeing that she was an orphan, she brought her to the house as a guest." After noticing that something was wrong with Song Nianru, the Duke of Zhen tried hard to recall her in these days. Something to do with her.

Xie Jiu looked at Duke Zhen with a hint of pity in his eyes, "Song Nianru is my mother's concubine."

"How is this possible? Your mother never said that." The Duke of Zhen was so shocked today that his face became almost ferocious.

"In my mother's family, concubines are very strict. She is not familiar with my concubine, so she probably feels there is no need to tell her." Xie Jiu guessed that there is another reason, that is, Yun Dainiang doesn't want people to know that she is from the Yun Wu Clan. It was about the princess, so except for her slaves, she no longer had contact with anyone else.

It was only after Lian Yunnu had her that he called her to help take care of her.

But Song Nianru knew that Yun Dainiang had married into the Zhenguo Duke's mansion. Was the encounter with the old lady a premeditated plan by her, or was it a conspiracy with the old lady?

If combined with the previous speculation, Nihuang is not Uncle Qian's child, then it is most likely that the old lady knew whose child Song Nianru was carrying, but was unable to marry that person, which was why Qian Biao was taken advantage of.

The Duke of Zhen Guo was a man, and he used to not pay much attention to the affairs of men and women in the back house, but as Xie Jiu reminded him little by little, he figured out the key to it.

He said bitterly, "Song Nianru did something like that with Qian Biao just a few days after she came to the house as a guest. Qian Biao insisted that he did it impulsively, so I had no choice but to agree that they get married as soon as possible. After the marriage, it was reported that Song Nianru was pregnant. The baby was born one month early."

The reason for the premature birth was that her mother-in-law suffered from dizziness and she slipped while serving her mother-in-law.

It is common for women to give birth prematurely in wrestling. He never raised any suspicion. In the final analysis, it was because he wholeheartedly believed that his wife, who had been sleeping with him for decades, also trusted Qian Biao who he had brought up.

How could he have thought that his old wife would do so many things in the back house without telling him? How could he have thought that Qian Biao, who was smart in the past, would lose his wisdom in beauty.

He looked at Xie Jiu, "Did you find anything else?"

Xie Jiu could know that his old wife forbade the mansion to fax fake princess stories, which showed that she had deployed people in the mansion. He also thought about Nihuang being injured, and how they met Mrs. Qian and came to Zhen Guogong's mansion together. I'm afraid that these are all... She planned it step by step.

The Duke of Zhen is just not good at taking care of the affairs of the back house, or his mind is not on the back house. He has repeatedly repelled the enemy troops and protected Daxia's territory from being invaded.

He has been gradually retiring in recent years, he is also in charge of fifty thousand troops in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and he has taught young generals like Father Zhao. How dare Xie Jiu think that such a Duke of Zhen Guo is really confused.

She couldn't hide what she had done from him, so she simply admitted that she had planted two people in the Zhenguo Palace. She originally thought that the Zhenguo Palace would be angry.

He didn't want to but touched her head with trembling hands, "You did the right thing. You are a smart and brave child. It's just that you suffered a lot before."

If he had known that she was Huai'an's child, how could he have allowed her to be forced to marry into the Yongning Marquis Mansion as a widower, how could he have let her experience the pain of exile, and even almost been killed by Cao Chengwang and Nihuang. He He murmured again, "Grandpa is sorry for you."

Xie Jiu's nose suddenly turned sour. Such a good person should not be deceived by such a group of monsters. She said, "I guess Song Nianru is not alone, so I sent someone to keep an eye on the people who visited Nihuang. Marquis Mingyuan has gone." .

I checked him and found that the housekeeper in his house sent money to Jinxiu Pavilion once every three months, and Mingyuan Marquis was deeply loved by the old lady. "

Duke Zhenguo then understood that Marquis Mingyuan was Song Nianru's mistress and Nihuang's real father. Only in this way did he understand why his old wife loved Nihuang so much, even more than the two granddaughters of the second family.

She has always favored her mother's family and her nephew.

She was the one who begged her to take Mingyuan Marquis by her side to educate her, and begged him to take him with her when he went on an expedition, but she also told him not to arrange dangerous errands for Mingyuan Marquis. She just wanted her nephew from her mother's family to follow him to the battlefield to gain points. Military merit, a little golden light.

He scolded her for her nonsense, and she cried and complained that her mother-in-law's family was so small that she only had one nephew. Thinking of her old father-in-law's help to her back then and the fact that she had given birth to two sons for him, he agreed to her request.

Thinking that he had been deceived all these years, the old man looked ashamed. He said to Xie Jiu, "Son, please wait for a few days. When grandpa handles the matter, he will take you home."

Xie Jiu shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. Do you still remember Feng Liangping and General Feng who followed my father?

He made a mistake and was exiled, but why was his pregnant wife also exiled?General Feng cried out for injustice before he died. I found out that he had a very good relationship with Uncle Qian. Is his exile related to this matter? "

Feng Zhilan found no clues at the Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion, but it was far from enough. They needed the help of Zhen Guo Gong to unravel the secrets bit by bit and find out the ghosts behind them one by one and punish them before the law. .

But the other side of the truth is often cruelty, cruelty to victims like them, and cruelty to the king.

The Duke of Zhen's heart also sank to the bottom of his heart, "When Liangping's accident happened, I left the capital for a while. After returning to the capital, I heard that his wife had invited him to be exiled together, so I asked Marquis Mingyuan to take care of things at Yuyouguan..."

He couldn't go on talking. If the transfer of the contract had something to do with Marquis Mingyuan, he might have failed to comply with his instructions to Marquis Mingyuan. Thinking of how many harmful things they had done behind his back, Duke Zhen Guo's eyes gradually turned scarlet. , after a long time, he asked, "Son, do you already have a plan and what to do? Grandpa will cooperate with you."
