After being frightened twice in succession, Yan Heng's mood completely calmed down.

Whether it's a concubine who doesn't know the truth or a crow who can speak human language, it's actually not a big deal. It's just that he didn't encounter these things in his last life, which made him unconsciously confused.

But in this life, he even married "Ruan Cheng", so how could everything follow the track of the previous life step by step?If everything really went back and forth like the previous life, then what's the point of his rebirth?

After settling his mind and thinking about it, Yan Heng felt that welcoming the crow enshrined by the Yan clan for generations into the Sheriff's Mansion could actually be regarded as an auspicious omen, and as long as a little exaggeration was made, it would become the best evidence of his destiny.

That concubine brother who doesn't know the truth is not too much trouble.In order not to alarm his mother, the Ying family, his father didn't record his name in the genealogy. Now that his father and grandmother are no longer alive, even if he wants to identify his ancestors, he can't find any evidence.

Just be afraid, this incident will involve the cause of my father's death...

Forget it, no matter what, it's just soldiers coming to block, water coming to cover up!

Yan Heng glanced at the ox cart behind him, and unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

Back at the Sheriff's Mansion, Yan Heng was not in a hurry to interrogate Aunt Lao, and waited patiently until Wu Ming arranged food for Udong and placed it on an old tree outside the courtyard, and then asked for someone in front of Wu Ming.

"I want to ask this auntie in your yard to ask some questions, and ask Madam to give up her love for now."

"What's the matter?" Wu Ming asked suspiciously, but his eyes turned to Aunt Lao.

"Returning to Madam, it's about the past in the county guard's mansion." Aunt Lao answered for Yan Heng, and then she leaned over and said to Yan Heng, "Don't worry, my lord, this old slave will know everything and talk endlessly. I just let this old slave speak nonsense. In a word, there is no need to hide this matter from Madam, on the contrary, if Madam is ignorant of this matter, it will be easier to be provoked by others."

"Scandal?" Wu Ming immediately thought of it, and his eyes returned to Yan Heng.

Yan Heng hesitated for a few seconds, and finally nodded, "Tell me, let Madam listen."

"No." Auntie stood up straight and asked in a voice without any emotion, "Does the lord know that he has a young concubine brother?"

"……Know."

Yan Heng's answer made Auntie slightly startled, but she quickly continued to ask, "Does the lord know that your concubine's biological mother is actually the mother's daughter of a distant brother of yours?"

What kind of roundabout relationship is this?

Wu Ming twitched the corners of his mouth, resisting the urge to complain.

"You mean Yan Yu?" Yan Heng replied affirmatively, and then asked, "The Yan Zheng who appeared in the madam's yard today is very similar to my father?"

"No." Aunt Lao shook her head, "It is the lord who has completely inherited the appearance of the former prefect. That young man can see Yan's bloodline except for the outline of his ears, and the rest is the same as the former prefect. They don't look alike—that's probably why no one has discovered it."

"Let's stop making rounds and get straight to the point?" Wu Ming interjected impatiently.

"No." A slight smile flashed across Aunt Lai's face, "Ma'am, I don't know, but two young men tried to break into your resting yard today, and one of them was named Yan Zheng, who had the same name as the lord's missing younger brother. Yan Yu is also somewhat involved with the lord's father. The old slave felt that this matter was too coincidental, so he had some delusional thoughts, and without discussing with his wife, he sent him to the lord in the name of his wife, and asked his wife to punish him."

"Yan Yu has something to do with my father?" Yan Heng raised his hand, signaling Wu Ming not to intervene for now.

"Yes." Aunt Lao lowered her eyelids, "This matter is quite secret, even the old lady doesn't know about it, and the old slave just heard some rumors from the people around the prefect. If the master wants the old slave to give The old slave has no evidence."

Yan Heng was slightly taken aback, and suddenly realized that Aunt Lao's so-called involvement may not be just a simple friendship, otherwise, there is no need to hide from people's eyes, even the old lady would have to hide it.

Yan Heng's face froze immediately, and he asked as cryptically as possible: "The reason why father accepts cousin Yu's mother's daughter as concubine Ji is not because of empathy?"

"I don't know." Aunt Lao didn't give a clear answer, but then she said, "But the people around the county guard once mentioned to the old slave that the county guard deliberately recorded Zheng Xiaolang under Yan Yu's name. , This is also the reason why Zheng Xiaolang did not enter the Yan family tree until he was four years old."

"..."

Yan Heng was speechless for a while.

Could it be that he and his mother, Ying Shi, were thinking wrong, that this concubine brother is not an heir at all, but just an unattainable empathy?

Yan Heng thought about it for a while, and found that he could actually understand his father's feelings very well.

The one I love can't have children for me, and I can't have children because of myself. If it were him, I'm afraid he would have a similar idea—to give birth to a child through the womb, and use a woman with similar blood to return that person's child.

The corner of Wu Ming's mouth twitched slightly, and he was speechless about Yan Heng and his son's inherited hobby.

But then, Wu Ming remembered that the family of the Han Dynasty was the same.

Reminiscent of the so-called historical inertia in the legend, Wu Ming immediately began to suspect that Yan Heng might really be able to change the dynasty and become the real emperor?

Wu Ming was still thinking wildly, but Yan Heng put away his thoughts, and asked Aunt Lao again: "How much do you know about my concubine brother?"

"The old slave doesn't come and go in the backyard much, and I haven't seen Zheng Xiaolang's face with my own eyes." Aunt Lao shook her head slightly, "But due to some coincidence, the old slave knows that Zheng Xiaolang is not what everyone thinks. That is to report his disappearance after the death of the first county guard—in fact, on the night Mrs. Tai discovered Zheng Xiaolang’s existence, the first county guard had already ordered Zheng Xiaolang to be sent out of the mansion, but he was only escorting Zheng Xiaolang out of the mansion The person in question also disappeared, and never appeared in the Sheriff's Mansion again."

"Do you know who this person is?" Yan Heng raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Father of Yan Chen, who is in charge of the front and back residences, and Yan Zhuang, the former head of the prefect's mansion."

When she said this name, Aunt Lao quickly lowered her head, avoiding Yan Heng's scrutiny.

And Yan Heng did guess something.

When Wu Ming wanted to call Aunt Lai to serve in his own courtyard, Yan Heng had someone carefully investigate her origin and life, and knew that she had lived in the county guard's mansion for many years. But she is a self-combed girl who has never been married, and has never served any lord or wife.

The aunt who trains newcomers is not considered an important position, but if you want to enter the mansion, you have to go through her first. The status is quite special, and the benefits are also very rich.Prior to this, Yan Heng had always thought that Aunt Lao had been in this position for so many years because of her outstanding ability, but thinking about it today, it might not be without the support and protection of others.

Yan Heng pondered for a moment, then asked again: "What else do you know?"

"Before sending Zheng Xiaolang away, the county guard once had a dispute with Zheng Xiaolang's biological mother. At that time, there was a big quarrel, and many people heard the county guard scolding Zheng Xiaolang's biological mother, telling her to pretend that she had never given birth. This son." Aunt Lao replied with downcast eyes, "Later, when something happened to the county guard, everyone suspected that it was actually the work of Zheng Xiaolang's biological mother. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. But Zheng Xiaolang's disappearance is really unclear, and there is no way to find it, so the old lady issued a sealing order, saying that Zheng Xiaolang disappeared during the funeral."

After listening, Yan Heng's mood was very complicated.

With his mother's personality, she would not fabricate a husband-killing charge just to wake him up. Even if it was Yan Zheng's biological mother who poisoned his father, it must have been used by his mother to kill him with a knife.

But this incident made Yan Heng understand why the old lady hated them so much and the mother and son didn't kill them. On the one hand, the old lady's ability is limited, and on the other hand, it is because there are more than one suspect. Mrs. Tai is worried that she will take revenge on the wrong person, making loved ones hurt and enemies quick.

After all, her eldest son only has his bloodline left.

Yan Heng sighed a few words in his heart, seeing that Aunt Lao seemed to have nothing to say, he waved her to leave.

But Wu Ming stopped Aunt Lao, "Go to the kitchen and ask Osmanthus to make me a bowl of pork chop noodles, I'm still hungry!"

"Promise." Aunt Lao bowed her promise and exited the main hall.

Being interrupted by Wu Ming, Yan Heng couldn't help but shook his head helplessly, "You, you will never forget to eat."

"Isn't it time to eat now!" Wu Ming said, "Could it be that you don't eat because you have an extra brother?"

"I didn't intend to bring him back." Yan Heng's heart moved, "By the way, ma'am, if it were you and me—how would you deal with this concubine brother?"

"Slaughter?" Wu Ming raised his eyebrows.

"..."

"You're joking!" Wu Ming chuckled, "Just ignore it, anyway, you don't plan to take him back to divide the family property, you don't care whether he lives or dies outside."

"Both his father and his biological mother died strangely. If he knew his life experience, he might have trouble."

"So what if we know, who will prove it to him?" Wu Ming disagreed.

There is no NDA test in this year, so is it possible to use the unreliable method of using blood to identify relatives?

Unexpectedly, Yan Heng really said that, "You can recognize your relatives with blood."

"It's okay!" Wu Ming rolled his eyes, "I have several ways to make you not even recognize your own son, believe it or not?"

"What method?" Yan Heng immediately became interested.

"If you want to admit it, just put the blood of the two people in the water and let it sit for a while longer. Even if the two people are inseparable, as long as they soak in the water long enough, they will definitely fuse together." Wu Ming said , "Or just sprinkle alum stones in the water, let the two drops of blood melt into the water, and naturally you won't be able to tell whether they melt or not."

"Then what if you don't want to admit it?"

"Take it in a cold place, and freeze it immediately when it drips out. Or add vinegar and salt to the water in advance, and the blood won't melt."

"Won't there be a peculiar smell?" Yan Heng questioned.

"You won't let it go less?" Wu Ming glared at him angrily, and then added, "By the way, even if you don't play tricks, the blood test is not accurate. If you don't believe me, you You can find a few more people to try."

"I will." Yan Heng nodded, already thinking of his unborn son.Originally, he wanted to have a test after the child was born. If this method was really inaccurate, then he didn't have to give others a chance to cheat.

Wu Ming thought of another thing at this moment, "By the way, is the Yan Chen mentioned by Aunt Lao the same as the steward who let people in to deliver pig food the day I got married?"

It's not as serious as pig food, but it's just giving you something you don't like to eat.

Yan Heng slandered inwardly, but he didn't show it on his face, he just nodded and said: "It's him."

"Then...that idiot Ya Ji sent the maid who brought in the food?" Wu Ming blinked, "That idiot Ya Ji doesn't seem to be the kind of person who can think of such a thing!"

You still remember her!

Yan Heng was a little annoyed immediately, but he still replied: "It should be just borrowing her banner. This kind of thing has happened before, and the real instigators are old ladies and wives. The reason for doing this is probably to try your new Ma'am, what's your temper?"

It's just that this trial has killed myself, Yan Heng thought in his heart.

He didn't order the maid to be dealt with, but Yan Chen always knew what was going on, so he sent the maid to Zhuangzi the next day to be married.

Yan Heng was thinking about his wedding night with Wu Ming, but Wu Ming continued to ask: "Speaking of which, where did that Yan Chen go? Why haven't I seen him again?"

"Their family has been slaves in the sheriff's mansion for generations, and has a close relationship with the old lady. When her mother reorganized the sheriff's mansion, she transferred him to the Zhuangzi outside the city..." As he spoke, Yan Heng changed himself. Turning pale, he got up immediately and said, "I'll leave for a while, and come back to accompany you at night."

After finishing speaking, Yan Heng hurried out.

Wu Ming curled his lips and secretly slandered——

Don't pay close attention to what should be paid close attention to, what kind of competition is there with a furry child of unknown origin!
