Yuzhou.

Yucun City, Wang Family.

The family of Lin Feng's mother, Wang Yuwei, was a well-known official family in Yuzhou, and many of their children served as officials in the imperial court.

Lin Feng's eldest uncle, Wang Xiaoren, the head of the Wang family, was appointed as a scholar in Yuzhou. His second uncle, Wang Xiaoyi, was also the governor of Changgu County under the rule of Yuzhou Prefecture. He was really from a distinguished family.

On this day, members of the Wang family gathered in the living room of the Wang family. There were dozens of people, old and young. The old lady of the Wang family, Zheng Xiangxue, sat at the head of the table, followed by the head of the family Wang Xiaoren, the second master Wang Xiaoyi, the fifth master Wang Xiaoli, the ninth master Wang Xiaozhi and their respective Madam, the younger members of the clan can only stand.

Zheng Xiangxue glanced left and right and found that all the clan members were here. Then she nodded with satisfaction, "At this family gathering, I have some great news to tell everyone."

As soon as Zheng Xiangxue said this, the whole hall began to talk. Everyone was speculating on what kind of great news it was that the old lady who had neglected family affairs for many years could personally host the family gathering.

"Everyone please be quiet."

After Wang Xiaoren finished speaking, the entire living room immediately fell silent, "Mom, please continue talking!"

Zheng Xiangxue nodded, "Jiangling Hou Linfeng, everyone must have heard of his deeds. It has been found out that he is your third aunt's son."

"What? How is this possible? How come we've never heard of it?"

The younger members of the Wang family couldn't believe their ears. The current sage Lin Feng was actually the son of their third aunt. This news was so sudden and unexpected.

As the saying goes, a married daughter throws water. When Wang Yuwei died in childbirth when Lin Feng was born, the Wang family not only did not have a good impression of the newly born Lin Feng, but also held a trace of resentment towards Lin Feng because of Wang Yuwei's death. In addition, The two families of King Shanglin were thousands of miles apart, so their contact gradually ceased.

Now eighteen years have passed, and the younger members of the Wang family only know that their third aunt died of illness. As for the Jiangzhou Lin family, they have not even heard of it.

"Mom, didn't the third sister die of illness? How come she still has a son? What on earth is going on?"

Wang Xiaozhi and Wang Yuwei were born to his concubine Wong Lingyue. When Wang Xiaozhi was young, he liked to play with his sister Wang Yuwei. Later, when he heard that his sister was dead, he cried and was upset for a long time.

Now that he learned that his biological sister did not die of illness, but got married and gave birth to a son, and that his nephew was actually Lin Feng, a sage recognized by literati all over the world, Wang Xiaozhi was very excited at this time.

"Xiaozhi, calm down first. It was your father's intention to conceal the cause of Yuwei's death. Now that he is gone, if you want to know the specific situation, you can ask your aunt later."

"Yes, mother!"

Zheng Xiangxue nodded, "Xiaozhi, you are about to go to Beijing to take the exam. Mom wants to accompany you to Beijing, and by the way, see my wonderful grandson whom I haven't seen for many years."

"If the mother wants to go, the child will naturally agree."

"Okay! Then get ready when you go back, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning."

"Mom, the test date is February 22nd next year. Is it too early to start tomorrow?"

Zheng Xiangxue smiled and said, "It's okay. When we get to the capital, we will go to the Jiangling Marquis Mansion. Feng'er has lost his mother since he was a child. As a grandmother, I can take this opportunity to take good care of him."

"Nowadays, the huge Jiangling Marquis Mansion does not have any concubines except Princess Qiuyue, so I decided to let Zhixuan and Yiran go to the capital together."

The old lady's meaning was already obvious. The other ladies of the Wang family all looked at Wang Zhixuan and Wang Yiran, their eyes full of envy, wishing they could replace them and marry into the Jiangling Marquis Mansion.

Wang Zhixuan was very excited. The dream lover she had longed for, Lin Feng, turned out to be her cousin, and her grandma wanted to marry her to her cousin. Happiness came so suddenly, her face turned red and her heart began to pound. He was jumping wildly, feeling like he was about to jump out of his body.

Wang Yiran's performance was exactly the opposite. When Zheng Xiangxue read her name, not only did she not show any happiness, on the contrary, her face began to become very ugly. Although she tried her best to cover it up, she was still caught by Zheng Xiangxue. Xiangxue discovered it.

"Still, grandma knows that you are in love with Qi Xiuwen, the third son of the Qi family, but for the sake of the Wang family, grandma hopes that you can take into account the overall situation. If your cousin Lin Feng doesn't have that intention for you, grandma will personally prepare it for you after returning from the capital. dowry."

"Thank you grandma, I still understand."

Zheng Xiangxue nodded with relief, "Good boy, I've wronged you."

"Okay, today's family gathering is over. Zhixuan stays, and everyone else should disperse!"

Everyone stood up and left. Wang Zhixuan came to Zheng Xiangxue with excitement on her face, "Thank you grandma. Zhixuan will perform well after entering Beijing and will not let grandma down."

"Okay, okay! My Zhixuan is so beautiful, I think Feng'er will definitely like her. If you get married in the future, the Wang and Lin families will become even more intimate."

"Zhixuan, there is still time now. Go to the street and buy some more beautiful clothes and rouge and gouache. Grandma will give you the money."

Wang Zhixuan waved her hand quickly, "No need, grandma, I have money, I'll buy it now."

Wang Zhixuan skipped out of the living room, and Zheng Xiangxue nodded with great satisfaction, "Good boy, it's up to you whether the relationship between Wang and Lin's family can be restored to what it was before."

After the family gathering, the entire Wang family became lively. Some were happy and some were sad. However, the Wang family being able to establish a relationship with Lin Feng was undoubtedly a great joy for the Wang family.

The back house of the prince's palace is a quiet courtyard.

An old woman in her fifties was sitting in the courtyard, basking in the sun and knitting a sweater. Wang Xiaozhi and his wife Yan Xiaolan hurried in.

Seeing her son and daughter-in-law, the old woman's face lit up, "Zhier Xiaolan is back. What did you say at the family gathering?"

"Auntie, how did my third sister die back then?"

Wen Lingyue put down her work, looked up at Wang Xiaozhi, and said slowly: "Your third sister got a strange disease back then, and your father invited the best doctor in Yuzhou City..."

"Auntie, please stop hiding it. My third sister didn't die of illness at all back then. She was married, right?"

Wen Lingyue looked shocked, "Zhi'er, where did you hear the news?"

"Auntie, my third sister's son is already eighteen years old. How long do you want to keep it secret from me? Please tell me truthfully how my third sister died that year."

"Zhi'er, regarding the cause of your third sister's death, your father issued a ban, so my aunt can't say anything."

"Auntie, today's family gathering is specially held because of Third Sister's son, so the cause of Third Sister's death cannot be hidden for long. Mother has already agreed to this, so please tell the child the truth!"

Wen Lingyue nodded, "Okay! Since Madam has agreed, my aunt will tell you that your third sister died during childbirth. Your father felt that the unlucky news would damage the reputation of the Wang family, so he A ban was imposed on this matter, and it was always said that he died due to illness."

"I see."

Wang Xiaozhi finally knew the cause of his sister's death. Fortunately, what he was most worried about did not happen. He felt relieved and relaxed all over.
