70: The Soldier King's Supernatural Wife, Three Babies in One Child

Si Qienian looked at Si Zhengyan's facial features carefully, and the more he looked, the more he felt that he resembled his old leader.

How could he have been so blind before that he didn’t notice it?

"Zhengyan, Si Zhengyang is not your grandfather Mu Xiaogong's grandson. You are his grandson."

Such direct words made Si Zhengyan stand there in a daze, without any reaction for a long time.

After a long time, he finally uttered, "Grandpa Qi, what evidence do you have?"

"Silly child, can I still lie to you about this?"

Si Qi Nian looked at him lovingly.

"I have asked everyone who went begging with your parents. They said that your parents and Si Zhengsong were taken in by a kind-hearted person for a period of time. At that time, your biological parents were on their way to the northwest."

Si Qienian told Si Zhengyan the results of his investigation one by one, and finally sighed.

"Alas, you have been with your grandfather for three years, but you don't know that he is your relative. It's fate."

Speaking of the old leader, Si Zhengyan also fell silent.

When he was thirteen years old, he joined the army. The old leader... no, he should be called grandfather.

Seeing how thin and weak he was, his grandfather kept him by his side, saying that he was an orderly, but in fact he was raising and educating him like his own child.

Reading, calligraphy, painting, military strategy and foreign languages, as long as he knew it, he would teach him.

If those things hadn't happened, he probably wouldn't have left him.

Not long ago, when he came back from a mission and went to see Han Qing, he met Si Zhengyang.

When I learned that he was the grandson abandoned by his grandfather, the shock, surprise and bitterness I felt were really hard to imagine.

Unexpectedly, Si Zhengyang was the fake one and he was the real one.

Is this the fate between blood relatives?

Lu Chaoyan took out a golden lock from her pocket and handed it to Si Zhengyan.

"Your mother was not killed by a hunter by mistake, but was silenced. To be precise, Jiang Xiuqin is not your mother. She is very likely related to the death of your biological mother, Mu Bangning."

Si Zhengyan took the golden lock with red eyes.

He knows the most about his grandfather's family.

My maternal grandfather had a son and a daughter. My uncle Mu Rong'an, his mother Mu Bangning, and my maternal grandmother were all heroes of that difficult era. They sacrificed their lives and blood and tears for the country and the people.

Later, after the country was stabilized, my maternal grandfather's family, who were originally supposed to guard the south, were transferred to the northwest.

My grandfather stayed behind because of poor health.

His uncle and mother successively led troops to build the Northwest, but on the way there, his mother who was pregnant with him and his father, Li Mingxiu, were delayed for several months because he was about to be born.

Later, the place where my mother and father lived encountered reactionary enemy bandits.

His father escaped by chance, but his mother and he died tragically, which became a lifelong pain for the Mu family.

He was with his grandfather and often heard him talk about these things.

But unexpectedly, he is the protagonist of the story.

Si Zhengyan recalled every detail of the three years he spent with his grandfather, as well as the legend about his mother that he heard from his grandfather.

He felt a pain in his heart, and his straight body softened. He knelt down towards the northwest and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Mother, mother, I am sorry for you."

If it weren't for his arrival, my mother would still be alive.

Si Qien turned his back and quietly wiped his tears, and tears also flowed from the corners of Lu Chaoyan's eyes.

She held his shoulders, her voice gentle.

"Now is not the time to be sad. Si Zhengyang has been taking the fake token to the Li family for almost two months. The Li family does not acknowledge him and has not come to investigate. This means that they already know that you are the real one. But not only did they not come to recognize you, but they sent people to kill Jiang Xiuqin. There must be another hidden story behind what happened back then. You may be in danger."

"Yes, Zheng Yan, there must be something fishy going on with the Li family. You must be careful when you are under Jian Tingxun's command in the future."

Jian Tingxun is Li Qing's husband and the person who took over Mu Xiaogong's position. Si Qien is afraid that he will cause trouble for Si Zhengyan because of the Li family.

Si Zhengyan stood up, his cold peach blossom eyes were as dark as the abyss. He stood behind Lu Chaoyan, holding her waist.

"Jian Tingxun is a gentleman. The only one who can attack me is the Li family. Don't worry. I can protect myself."

Si Zhengyan felt a little nervous. This time he came to pick up his wife to his place, but now he had to reconsider the matter.

If he took Chaoyan with him to the south, he would inevitably drag her into those troubles. If he didn't take her, he was afraid that she would be implicated by him and encounter danger.

Si Qi Nian looked at the two of them lovingly, "Okay, I'll take care of the family affairs for you. When you get there, you can act according to your own circumstances. If it doesn't work out, go to the northwest to find your uncle. He has been there for more than 20 years and has a solid foundation. He can support you."

"it is good."

Si Zhengyan also had the same idea, but it was not easy to transfer to such a far place.

Besides, Li Qing might be reluctant to give up him as a stepping stone.

After the three of them finished chatting and returned home, Si Zhengyan opened the package, took out a few things he had bought for Lu Chaoyan, and sent the rest to the brigade headquarters to Si Qien.

Inside were the clothes, shoes and thick hat he bought for Grandpa Qi.

The old man was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, saying that he was luckier than his old leader as he was the first to enjoy the blessing of his grandson.

While the two were chatting, Lu Chaoyan started packing up at home.

Si Zhengyan took a seven-day leave, four of which were spent on the journey, and he only stayed at home for three days.

Before leaving, she had to visit her friends and make arrangements at home.

For dinner, Mu Hongying caught an old hen to stew in order to thank Si Zhengyan for the gift he brought to their family. Chen Shang went to the county to buy meat and tofu, and the Bao family sent fish.

The room was full of people and the table was full of food. To take Si Zhengyan's mood into consideration, everyone tacitly refrained from laughing or talking and ate in silence.

After knowing that Jiang Xiuqin was not his biological mother, all the resentment in Si Zhengyan's heart disappeared. After all, he was not his biological son, so it was normal for her not to love him.

So he was not very sad about Jiang Xiuqin's death.

The pain in my heart is only for my biological mother.

After dinner, Si Zhengyan helped Lu Chaoyan back to the bedroom. After bringing her water for washing, he went to the corner shed and washed himself from head to toe.

After coming back, he was about to lie down on the outside to sleep, but Lu Chaoyan stopped him with a look.

"The room next door has been renovated. The sheets and bedding inside are all new. You can sleep in that room."

Now that her belly is big, she can neither lie flat nor sleep on her side, and she has to toss and turn at night.

She couldn't sleep well herself, so she didn't want anyone else around her.

Si Zhengyan immediately became resentful. He sat on the edge of the bed and held Lu Chaoyan's hand.

"Wife, I suddenly learned so many things today. My heart feels like it's been grabbed by an iron hand. I feel very uncomfortable. I don't want to sleep alone. If you dislike me disturbing you, I can sleep on a bamboo chair."

He pointed to a bamboo bench not far away and said, "As long as I can see you and the child, my heart will be at peace."
