After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

After Zhou Xuanqi received permission, he turned to look at Chu Huanyan, as if he was wondering where to start.

After a moment of silence, he finally spoke.

"Huanyan, your mother did give birth to a younger brother for you. When your younger brother was young, she took him to Jinzhou. But halfway, she found out that she was pregnant again. It was a tiring journey all the way to Jinzhou. Later, the fetal position was a little unstable. So, your father decided to let her stay at home until the birth."

Chu Huanyan thought for a while, she was also young at that time and had no memory of this at all.

"What then?"

According to what his uncle meant, that younger brother should not be Chu Ziyuan.

Zhou Xuanqi frowned, "Later, your mother lived at home for more than five months. At that time, she was already eight months pregnant. But suddenly one day, your brother fell into the well and died. Your mother suffered a blow. She was born prematurely and gave birth to a baby girl, but she was stillborn right after birth.”

Chu Huanyan's heart ached. Her son fell to death, and the daughter she gave birth to was stillborn. At that time, her mother probably couldn't bear it...

Taking a deep breath, Chu Huanyan continued to ask: "So you adopted Chu Ziyuan and Chu Wanyan later? Whose children are they?"

Zhou Xuanqi glanced at his father again, and seeing that the latter did not stop him, he continued:

"Your mother and I originally had an older brother, but the eldest brother had been in poor health since childhood. Two days before your brother fell into the well, he suddenly died of an old illness. At that time... my sister-in-law had already given birth to a son, and before that, Soon, I gave birth to a daughter. We thought that the eldest brother at least left a bloodline, but it didn’t take long to discover that the two children were not his at all, but the children of the eldest sister-in-law and the housekeeper of the mansion at that time! "

Although the Zhou family has moved away from the court, it can still be regarded as a scholarly family, and the younger sister has even married into the Hou Mansion. If such scandalous things spread, not only the Zhou family, but also the Ning'an Marquis Mansion would be implicated and ridiculed.

So after discussion, they decided to deal with it privately and not expose it to the public. But at that time, I discovered something else. My eldest brother's death might not be an accident at all!

They immediately investigated privately and interrogated the housekeeper carefully, and only then did the truth come to light.

It turned out that the eldest brother had long been suspicious of the relationship between his sister-in-law and the housekeeper, but he was afraid of wrongly accusing the other party, so he paid attention in private, and he happened to catch the two of them.

At that time, the eldest sister-in-law begged and kept mentioning the two children. The eldest brother couldn't bear it, and the Zhou family's face was not revealed. He only meant that he would write a divorce letter and let her leave with the housekeeper.

However, the adulterer and the vicious woman were cruel and unwilling to give up the wealth of the Zhou family to live a miserable life, so they used the medicine to kill the eldest brother together. Before his eldest brother died, he told him the truth. Neither of the two children was his.

At that time, the younger sister's son could already run. Somehow, he ran into the elder brother's yard and bumped into this scene.

Children so young may not understand what they said or what happened.

But after doing something wrong, the adulterer and the vicious woman could not rest at ease. Two days later, when no one was paying attention, they took the opportunity to throw the child into the well, causing the illusion that he slipped and fell into the well and drowned!

After hearing what Zhou Xuanqi said, Chu Huanyan's heart surged, "So, Chu Ziyuan and Chu Wanyan are...their children?"

"That's right." Zhou Xuanqi closed his eyes and nodded heavily, "When everything was exposed, the adulterer and the vicious woman committed suicide in fear of crime, leaving behind the two children. We originally wanted to send them away, but you The mother had just lost two children at that time and was in great pain. When she heard the children crying, she thought they were childish and innocent, so she relented and adopted them."

He and his father disagreed at first. If it hadn't been for the adulterous couple, the eldest brother wouldn't have died, and the younger sister wouldn't have lost her two children. They were simply the sons of enemies.

But at that time, the little sister was immersed in grief and could not even drink two sips of water all day long. In order to cheer her up again, he and his father finally agreed.

When the brother-in-law came from the imperial city, they also told the truth. The brother-in-law felt sorry for the little sister and promised her to take in the two children.

After all, the adulterer and poisonous woman were dead. In order to preserve dignity, the matter was not leaked to the outside world. The servants in the palace who knew about the matter also gave money to keep it quiet.

The imperial city is far away, so people in the imperial city will naturally not know about this. In addition, the children were all about the same age. After returning, no one doubted that they were not the younger sister's biological child.

Zhou Xuanqi looked at Chu Huanyan and said, "Huanyan, when I went to the Marquis of Ning'an Mansion, my uncle really didn't like the two of them. Even though they are childish and innocent, when I see them, I can think of the faces of the adulterer and the vicious woman, and I feel really sad. It’s hard not to hate!”

Even though the children were raised by the younger sister and brother-in-law, the blood flowing in their bones was the blood of their enemies after all.

But Huanyan was still young at that time, and the matter was such a big scandal, so naturally he couldn't tell his niece why he hated Chu Ziyuan and Chu Wanyan.

After learning all the truth, Chu Huanyan stood there, not even knowing how she should feel at the moment.

In her knowledge, there was no idea of ​​repaying debts from the father to the son, but the actions of Chu Ziyuan and Chu Wanyan were indeed very similar to their parents.

Vicious, heartless, shameless...

She could understand that her mother was in great grief and could not express it, so she could only place her love on those two children. But later on, did my parents ever regret it?

Did they already see the selfishness and shamelessness in Chu Ziyuan and Chu Wanyan, so they left such a letter?

Chu Huanyan was lost in thought until Zhou Yubai's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"These are all old things. Now that the people are dead, they shouldn't be mentioned again. Now that you know it, you can settle down and don't feel the slightest guilt for their death. In the end, after all, it is They deserve it."

Zhou Yubai looked at Chu Huanyan guiltily, with a mixture of love and distress in his eyes.

"If I had known that something would happen to your parents later, no matter what, I would not have agreed to them taking those two children away. I'm afraid you don't know how much you have worried about them over the years."

He had never known the character of those two children before, but he had just heard Huanyan mention that since they were able to do so many wrong things, they had caused trouble for Huanyan over the years.

It's because they, as elders, have been too remiss, especially his grandfather, who really feels sorry for Huan Yan.

"It's all over. I was just curious and wanted to know the truth. But now that I know it, I won't mention it again from now on." Chu Huanyan said with a smile.

Although she didn't feel the slightest bit guilty for what happened to Chu Ziyuan and Chu Wanyan, now that she knew the truth, she felt even more relieved.

That's it!
