The poor man grows watermelon

Aunt Su Hua's words sounded very strange to others.

Su Qingzhu thought she was annoyed by herself, so she quickly knelt beside Mu Feng and said embarrassingly, "Auntie, you are my only family member. If you don't make the decision, who will make the decision?"

Aunt Su Hua was startled, and then she realized what she just said.

She looked at the two young men in front of her, sighed, and said, "It's cold on the ground, get up first."

Su Qingzhu supported her knee and said pitifully, "Auntie, don't be angry."

Aunt Su Hua patted his hand, "I'm not angry, get up quickly, get up and listen to me."

Mu Feng paused for a while, and supported Su Qingzhu to stand up.

Aunt Su Hua was silent for a moment before she said: "Zhuzi, you don't know yet, do you? Your father and I are not real siblings, and I'm not your real aunt either."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback.

Aunt Chunjiu said in surprise: "Sister-in-law, didn't you marry from the mountains? I remember this clearly."

Back then, the head of Yu Village lived a good life and had a big wedding. Many people went to Yu Village to watch the excitement.

Aunt Su Hua smiled and said: "I am originally from Nantang. I was abducted to Zhili County when I was about ten years old. I was going to be sold to a rich family as a slave. My elder brother kindly rescued me. From then on we They will be called brothers and sisters."

Aunt Su Hua paused for a moment, then continued: "Brother treats me like my own sister, and never violated the rules, because I was afraid that others would gossip, and that my family was too careless, so I kept this matter a secret, and only treated it as a joke. biological."

Having said that, everyone understands the ins and outs of the matter.

Aunt Chun Jiu patted her hand and comforted her: "Sister-in-law is lucky, the days to come will be long!"

Aunt Su Hua nodded, "Now that I'm getting older, I don't care about these things anymore. If I hadn't mentioned Zhu Zi's marriage today, I would have forgotten it."

Su Qingzhu puffed her face and said, "Auntie, I don't know what happened in the past. I only know that you brought me up. You are my real aunt!"

Aunt Su Hua's eyes were red, but there was a smile on her lips, "Good boy, Auntie didn't love you for nothing. It's just that I really can't decide your marriage, so take it easy, okay?"

"aunt--"

Su Qingzhu wanted to say something, but Mu Feng grabbed his wrist.

Mu Fengxu saw something, squeezed his hand, and said softly: "Qingzhu, listen to my aunt."

Su Qingzhu pursed her mouth, and reluctantly quieted down.

Su Ye noticed Aunt Su Hua's expression and always felt that things were not as simple as she said.As for the words "I'm not a real aunt, I can't make the decision" is more like it was deliberately mentioned to cover up something.

Reminiscent of the identity of Su Qingzhu's father, Vice Admiral Su, Su Ye faintly felt that this incident seemed to have something to do with Marquis Yong'an.

Su Ye originally wanted to ask Mrs. Su Hua alone, but it didn't work out. When he went to the village to find someone the next day, his sister-in-law Xiao Xia told her that Mrs. Su Hua had gone to the county mansion.

Some doubts arose in Su Ye's heart, "What's the matter with the aunt at the county mansion? Did she go alone?"

"Go to send pickles to cloth village in the south of the city, as well as Gula. He drove the carriage to take Auntie there." Xiaoxia's sister-in-law might be afraid that Su Ye would be suspicious, so she said deliberately, "Auntie originally wanted to call Brother Feng, but then I was afraid that there would be no one to take care of you, so I called Gula."

Su Ye's heart skipped a beat, "Chengnan Buzhuang?"

Xiaoxia's sister-in-law nodded, "The shopkeeper Jiang from Buzhuang has bought pickles in our village several times. Auntie said that this time they want more, so let's take the initiative to give it away."

Shopkeeper Jiang from Cloth Village in the south of the city... that was the informant left by Marquis Yong'an to Su Yelan. When he moved out of the Hou's mansion, he contacted Shopkeeper Jiang.

Su Ye was almost certain that Mrs. Su Hua belonged to Marquis Yong'an.

-

The next night, just as Su Ye was about to take a rest, there was a slight knock on the door outside.

Su Ye paused as she took off her shoes, and couldn't help but think of the time when she met Shao Ping, and it was also such a moonlit night.

That night, he knew about the Ninth Peak, about Guiyin Valley, about the efforts that Marquis Yong'an had made for his son, and about Shao Ping's true identity.

This time, what new changes will there be?Su Ye couldn't help but look forward to it.

Yu Feng went to open the door and led people to the small hall to the west.

The green brick house, the rammed ground, the fire wall inside the house, the house is warm and cozy, I don't know how much better than the thatched hut back then.

Shopkeeper Jiang gave a deep salute as soon as he entered the room, with an excited expression on his face, "Long time no see, young master, how is everything?"

Su Ye helped him up, and said with a smile, "Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, shopkeeper Jiang hasn't come to Yujia Village often, right?"

Shopkeeper Jiang was found out, and he didn't show the slightest embarrassment on his face. Instead, he said with a smile: "This subordinate can't believe those boys below, so he always wants to come over and have a look in person, and see with his own eyes that the young master is doing well. This subordinate is in Hou There is an explanation before the spirit of the Lord."

There was a little warmth in Su Ye's eyes, and he said softly, "I'm sorry for your trouble."

Shopkeeper Jiang shook his head, with a remorseful expression on his face, "It's the subordinate's negligence for not being able to share the young master's worries."

"As long as Uncle Jiang and Bu Zhuang are together, my heart will be safe." Su Ye smiled, and then said, "I don't know what Uncle Jiang is talking about coming late at night?"

Shopkeeper Jiang paused for a moment, then said slowly: "Yesterday, my subordinates met an old friend and remembered something from the past, so they came here to ask the young master for instructions."

"please say."

"19 years ago, Lord Hou gave a baby to his subordinates and told them to take care of him. The subordinates originally wanted to find a good family to raise them safely, but unexpectedly, the baby was taken away by Vice General Su. "

really!

Su Ye choked for breath, and for some reason, she became a little excited——that baby is Qingzhu, right?Since Yong'an Hou personally handed it over to Shopkeeper Jiang, does it mean that this child has something to do with him?

Shopkeeper Jiang didn't seem to notice his strangeness, and continued: "Yesterday, Vice General Su's adopted sister came to look for me and asked about the baby's identity."

"Vice-general Su's adoptive sister is Mrs. Su Hua from Yujia Village?" Su Ye's tone was somewhat urgent.

Shopkeeper Jiang nodded, with a clear smile on his face, "Sure enough, the young master already knows."

Su Ye twitched the corner of her mouth and asked again: "Did Uncle Jiang tell her about the baby's identity?"

Shopkeeper Jiang shook his head, "I don't know the identity of the baby, so I came here to ask the young master, if the person is useless, can he marry and have a child?"

Su Ye couldn't help being surprised when he heard that, "You mean, you don't know who that baby is?"

Shopkeeper Jiang shook his head and said, "Master Hou didn't say anything when he handed over the man to his subordinates, so the subordinates really didn't know."

Su Ye frowned slightly, "Aren't there any clues in these years?"

Shopkeeper Jiang got up quickly, and said solemnly: "This subordinate is only following the orders of Lord Hou. As for other things, this subordinate never dares to investigate without authorization. Please learn from the young master."

Su Ye was rather dumbfounded, "Uncle Jiang, that's what I said, don't take it seriously, sit down."

Shopkeeper Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and sat down silently.

Su Ye said again, "Uncle Jiang, if you want to investigate this matter, do you have any clues?"

Shopkeeper Jiang pondered for a moment, and replied: "This subordinate thinks that since the man was brought here by Lord Hou himself, he probably has a lot to do with it. Maybe we can start with the old man of the Hou's mansion."

Su Ye was overjoyed, "Uncle Jiang, are you sure?"

Shopkeeper Jiang didn't answer immediately, but looked at Su Ye with a strange expression on his face, "Young master really wants to investigate?"

Su Yingying was puzzled, "Uncle Jiang, please speak up if you have something to say."

Shopkeeper Jiang hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said just now: "To tell you the truth, my subordinates just met that child a few days ago, and I was shocked at the time. According to my subordinates' guess, he is probably... ..."

"What is it?"

Shopkeeper Jiang gritted his teeth, and blurted out, "This subordinate thinks that he may have been born in Lord Hou's concubine."

"Pfft——" Su Ye spit out all the sugar water he had just taken in, and his peach blossom eyes widened, "What did you say? Hou, father has a concubine?"

Shopkeeper Jiang showed annoyance on his face, as if he didn't expect Su Ye's reaction to be so big, he quickly explained: "Young master, please don't get excited, this is just a subordinate's guess. This subordinate has followed Lord Hou for many years and has never seen him before." He has been in close contact with women other than his wife..."

"Then why do you say Qing Zhu, I mean that child is the father's illegitimate child?"

Shopkeeper Jiang bite the bullet and said: "The subordinates look at his appearance, and it is [-]% similar to Hou Ye when he was young."

Su Ye raised her eyebrows, "Am I not like my father?"

"Young master... Mrs. Geng Xiao."

Su Ye pursed her lips. If I remember correctly, Su Yelan's mother should have died of dystocia. In this case, the possibility of Qingzhu and him being biological brothers is really very small, unless... Qingzhu is older than him.

"Uncle Jiang, do you still remember when your father gave you that baby?"

"19 years ago, the night of Xiayuan."

"How old is the baby?"

"Less than a month."

Su Ye slumped his shoulders. His birthday is the Xiayuan Festival. In this case, even if Qingzhu is older than him, it is not much older.

Could it be true that Qingzhu is the illegitimate son of Marquis Yong'an as Shopkeeper Jiang said?

"I have to trouble Uncle Jiang to investigate this matter. As for Qingzhu's marriage, if my father has no special arrangements before, I can tell Aunt Su Hua that I will allow it!"

"Yes." Shopkeeper Jiang bowed in response.

When sending shopkeeper Jiang out, Su Ye clearly heard "dong dong" footsteps coming from the hall.He glanced at the east room, smiled wryly and shook his head.

Shopkeeper Jiang hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help persuading him: "I heard that the young master has a strong relationship with that little brother Qingzhu. I think it's God's will. No matter what happened back then, it's been a long time. Don't worry too much about it."

Su Ye smiled and nodded, "I know, don't worry, Uncle Jiang."

Shopkeeper Jiang gave a deep bow, took his leave and left.

When they returned to the room, Su Qingzhu and Su Ya'er were both standing in the hall, as if they were being punished.

Su Ye laughed, "You don't sleep well at night, what are you doing?"

Su Qingzhu puffed her face, and said awkwardly: "Hey, even if I am your father's illegitimate child, I don't want to. You have already recognized me as a brother, so you can't dislike me, and you can't sever ties with me."

It was obviously domineering words, but as she spoke, Shuang'er's eyes couldn't help but get wet.

Su Ye sighed and knocked on his forehead, "Do you think I'm such a stingy person? Don't think about it, go to bed, get up early tomorrow to make candied melons, Master Min is also coming to eat, did you forget ?”

Su Qingzhu blinked and confirmed again and again, "Are you really not angry?"

Su Ye crossed her hips, her belly was obviously bulging, "If you ask again, I'll be really angry."

Su Qingzhu quickly retracted her neck and smiled, "Then let's go to bed, bro~"

Su Ya'er looked strange, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could say it, he was pulled away by Su Qingzhu.

Looking at the backs of the two, Su Ye shook his head and smiled.

Even if there is no blood relationship, they can accept each other, let alone half-brothers?

If Su Qingzhu was really the illegitimate son of Marquis Yong'an, Su Ye felt that she might be happy instead of minding.
