Fu Li couldn't help laughing at Brother Shang Jin's eyes that were curious but not surprised: "Why do I think you know about this?"

Brother Jin rolled his eyes and smiled: "Mother never said before that my biological father has passed away. Although mother has never mentioned his identity, whether it is Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Zhou, or Aunt Tian and the others, every time I asked who my father was, although they never told me the identity of my father, they were very calm every time they mentioned my father, not as if my father was dead."

Because everyone is close, Zhou Gong and others' love for Jin Geer is not fake. If Jin Geer's father is really dead, it is absolutely impossible for them to not reveal any flaws when facing Jin Geer's question. .

Of course, this also has something to do with Fu Li.

Although Fu Li chose to conceal Jin Ge'er's life experience and did not intend to let him know that she had a relationship with the Lin family, she never lied to Jin Ge'er, and never said that Jin Ge'er's father was dead and she was a widow.

but……

Fu Li looked at Brother Jin curiously: "Although everyone has never said that I am a widow in front of you, in order not to cause trouble, I have always said that my husband is dead, I am a widow, and you are too." The posthumous son of my late husband. If you are really curious about the identity of your father, haven't you asked other people? They should all say that your father is dead, right?"

Brother Jin was a sensitive child since he was a child, and he was quite filial, so when he grew up and became curious about his father's identity, he didn't choose to ask Fu Li directly. feel strange

Brother Jin is sensible, so he is inevitably worried that his questioning will remind Fu Li of unpleasant memories.

But after asking so many people, he came to a conclusion that his biological father was not dead, which surprised Fu Li unavoidably.

Brother Jin looked at Fu Li puzzled: "Why don't I trust the people around me, instead I have to trust those who don't know the inside story at all, and all the information I know about my mother is hearsay and then guessed by myself What about the person who sums it up and spreads it out? Didn’t Mother tell Brother Jin before, to listen more and read more about everything, and don’t trust others easily?”

Fu Li was stunned, and then laughed: "You really listened to what I said."

Brother Jin's eyes sparkled, and he smiled very proudly: "After I knew that my mother was not a native of Bazhou Prefecture and was pregnant with Brother Jin when she first appeared in Bazhou Prefecture, I knew that the words of those outsiders were wrong. It is worthy of trust, and naturally I will not go to them to inquire about the news about my mother and biological father."

Fu Li couldn't help looking at Brother Jin, and raised his hand to rub his hair: "My brother Jin is indeed the smartest child in the world, mother is so happy!"

Brother Jin raised his chin, and his small eyes were quite smug.

Although my mother never hesitated to praise him, it was the first time she said that he was the smartest child in the world so bluntly.

After a while, he was over excited, and immediately moved to Fu Li's side, looking at her curiously: "Why did mother mention Brother Jin's biological father today? Is there any accident?" Thinking of Fu Li's previous mention of his biological father Brother Jin couldn't help but widen his eyes when he was in the capital, "Or, mother saw father today? Could it be that mother regretted it and wanted to reunite with father? Wow, that Uncle Wei is too miserable, listen Said that he is very serious about preparing the dowry for marrying his mother, if he knows that his mother regrets it..."

Fu Liren quickly patted Brother Jin on the forehead, and interrupted him: "What are you thinking in your little head? You were said to be the smartest kid in the world before, but now you are starting to mess up? Since your biological father is still alive, and I will be separated from him, there is naturally a reason why we must separate, and we will never be able to get back together again."

Brother Jin curled his lips, a little disappointed, but also a little happy: "I'm a little worried, I really like Uncle Wei."

Fu Li was stunned: "Don't you like your father?"

"I haven't met him before, what do you like or not?" Brother Jin was quite honest, "Although I am a little curious and want to meet him, but his status in my heart is not comparable to that of my mother and Uncle Wei."

Fu Li couldn't help but hugged Brother Jin, thought for a while, and said seriously: "Mother suddenly mentioned your father because something happened today, but it's not because your father and I ran into each other, but because I suddenly realized Now that we have come to the capital and want to open a store in the capital, it will be a matter of time before we meet your father. If I keep not telling you about your father, I am worried that you will It was very sudden, so I decided to tell you what happened at the beginning, so that you can prepare yourself."

Brother Jin blinked, his expression became more serious: "Is my father's status very high?"

Fu Li laughed: "My brother Jin is really smart."

Brother Jin looked at Fu Li seriously, and frowned: "He wants me to recognize my ancestors and take me away from my mother? Even if my father's family is high and powerful, my status should not be too high." If I can get on the stage, why do they have to make me recognize my ancestors?"

Fu Li patted Brother Jin's arm: "Don't interrupt, I'll explain it to you slowly from beginning to end."

Seeing Brother Jin nodded and said nothing more, Fu Li sighed, and then began to say: "Listen to what you just said, you should already know that I was not your father's wife, but just a concubine, right? Your father's last name is Lin, the ancestral home of the Lin family in Gusu, his ancestors were four generations of nobles, and they passed down the family with books, so they are considered to be a famous family. Your father is a former scholar, and he was born in a serious imperial examination. In addition, the Lin family is also considered a veteran honor. Your father entered the court. His post-official luck has been good, and now he has achieved the position of doctor of Lantai Temple. The position is not high and powerful, but it is well-known in this capital."

When Brother Jin heard this, his eyes lit up a little.

"Your father's first wife is even more important. Her father is Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo, who was in power for a while. She is Jia Daishan's only direct daughter. Although she is the daughter of a military general, Jia Min is also quite proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. After marrying your father, there has also been a period of harmony and harmony." Fu Li looked at Brother Jin, not wanting him to have any unrealistic hopes, "It's just that the two have been married for many years and have never been happy. Three years Later, the Tong Fang that Lin Ruhai put in the house before her marriage was raised as an aunt, and her mother even gave her two maids. However, two years later, no one in the mansion was pregnant. At this time, it was inevitable that some Jia Min is vicious, she can't conceive herself, and she doesn't want to let other concubines give birth to a son before her. So Jia Min personally selected two good sons for your father to enter the mansion, and one of them is me."

Brother Jin was stunned: "Mother is a good family?"

Fu Li couldn't help laughing: "Otherwise? What kind of identity do you think your mother is? You don't even think about it. Even if the Fu family is poor, your grandfather is still a scholar. No matter how stupid he is, he will not use his own Is your daughter sold as a slave?"

If this is the case, not to mention that Fu Xiucai's reputation will be ruined in the future, I am afraid that his son who has high hopes will not be able to take the imperial examination again.

Scholars still value reputation very much. A family who sells their daughter into slavery is despised after all.

"But I have been in the mansion for ten years, and I have never been pregnant." Fu Li recalled the memory of the original owner, a little funny, "Your father's other concubines have never been happy, but your father's wife, Jia Min, has been pregnant in the past few years. Had two children. Unfortunately, one was lost without realizing it, and one was noticed

, but still failed to keep the child. "

Brother Jin was a little curious and opened his mouth, but he didn't open his mouth in the end.

Why, from mother's tone, she didn't seem to hate or even be jealous of her father's wife?This seems to be different from the relationship between wives and concubines that my mother had mentioned to him before.

Fu Li didn't know what was going on in Brother Jin's mind, and continued: "The Lin family has a rule. If a concubine is unable to conceive after the age of 25, she must reduce the number of intercourse, or even never have intercourse again in the future. After the age is up, I will take a few concubines for the master of the family. There is another way for a good concubine like me. If you don’t want to stay in the Lin family as a widow, you can beg the master to write a concubine release letter and leave the Lin family. .”

Brother Jin's eyes flickered: "Mother is..."

"No." Fu Li guessed what Brother Jin wanted to say, and shook his head to deny his conjecture, "I didn't want to leave the Lin family at that time. Not only was I not happy when I heard the news, but I was afraid because of it. I didn't want to leave the Lin family. , and didn’t want to stay in the Lin family as a widow, so I could only conceive a child, and then the mother would be more expensive based on the child. Not only could she continue to live a wealthy life in the Lin family, but her status in the future would also be different. So at that time, I He took a risk and made a big mistake."

"I drugged your father."

Brother Jin: "!!!"

Fu Li has been paying attention to Brother Jin's expression all the time. Seeing that although he is shocked, and his eyes are somewhat disapproving, but he has never felt fear and disgust, he is really relieved from the bottom of his heart.

She cared about Brother Jin very much, so she naturally didn't want the original owner's behavior to cause a rift in the relationship between herself and Brother Jin.

Fu Li smiled and couldn't help hugging Brother Jin.

Brother Jin seemed to have not recovered from Fu Li's words, but he still hugged Fu Li subconsciously, making her laugh and roll her eyes.

Hearing the laughter, Brother Jin came back to his senses, and couldn't help laughing along with him.

Fu Lisong let go of Brother Jin, and continued: "Your mother is not a person with a vicious mind, so even if she had a crooked mind, she never thought of harming anyone. The medicine itself is not harmful, and there are no side effects after use. It's a pity Your father was weak, and he was sick and taking medicine at the time. One of the ingredients in the medicine my mother bought collided with the medicine your father drank, and then your father passed out on the spot. After that, I was kicked out of the Lin family. "

Brother Jin frowned: "But, where am I?"

Mother talked for a long time, and now she has left the Lin family, and she never said that she was pregnant?But my mother said before that his father is this Mr. Lin...

Fu Li looked at Brother Jin jokingly: "Of course you are in Mother's belly."

Fu Li's words were cryptic. After all, Brother Jin was young, so he didn't realize what the medicine she was talking about did. Naturally, he couldn't guess how he got pregnant.

"Already in the stomach?" Brother Jin was startled, "Before you took the medicine?"

Fu Li snorted and laughed out loud: "You are too young now, when you grow up, you will know when you were conceived when you think back to your mother's words. It's not important, you just need to know that you When I was kicked out of the Lin family, I was already pregnant."

Brother Jin's cheeks bulged, and he really wanted to find out.

But he also knew that since his mother said that, it meant that he had already told him the answer.It's just that he didn't have enough experience to understand the hidden meaning in her words, so he could only snort unwillingly and continue to listen to Fu Li.

Fu Li poked Brother Jin's face with a smile, making him stare at him, then held back his smile and continued: "Although I didn't do it on purpose, it's a fact that something happened to your father because of my medicine." Fortunately, the Lin family is kind, and Jia Min is not an indiscriminate person, so he didn't make things difficult for me, but just wrote a letter to release my concubine and drove me out of the Lin family."

Brother Jin blinked, and quickly extracted the key points from Fu Li's long speeches: "So mother wants to tell me that I am indeed a child of the Lin family, but because mother did something wrong at the beginning, I returned to the After the Lin family, the situation may not be too good at the beginning?"

Fu Li nodded: "That's true."

Although the original owner was a son of a good family back then, Brother Jin's status in the Lin family should be higher than that of an ordinary concubine, but because the original owner had drugged him back then, if Brother Jin returned to the Lin family, he would inevitably be viewed with colored glasses by those who knew the inside story.

"But the Lin family doesn't have many heirs, so even if my identity is flawed, after confirming that I am indeed the son of the Lin family, the Lin family will definitely hope that I can leave my mother and return to the Lin family to recognize my ancestors?"

Seeing Brother Jin talking eloquently, as if he wasn't bothered by the sudden news, Fu Li's expression relaxed a lot: "I can't guess what Jia Min will do after learning of your existence, but the Lin family has many generations. Shan Chuan, if your father knew of your existence, he would definitely want to take you back to the Lin family."

Brother Jin frowned, as if he was not satisfied with the reason why he was taken back to the Lin family.

Fu Li raised his eyebrows: "But you don't have to worry too much. As far as I know, just four years after you were born, Jia Min finally gave birth to a daughter, and a year later, it seems that he gave birth to a son. Although I don't know which son Whether he is Jia Min's son or not, but it is true that the Lin family has no shortage of sons."

Brother Jin blinked, his expression a bit complicated

Some are happy that they don't have to worry about leaving their mother for a while, and some are disappointed by the fact that they are not important to their father.

However, he was only a little disappointed, and he quickly adjusted: "My mother never told me the identity of my father before, so you don't intend to let me recognize my ancestors? If that's the case, why did you go to Beijing? Even if you go to Beijing , and why did you bring your son with you?"

"What are you talking about?" Fu Li rolled his eyes, "I want to go to Beijing, so naturally I have to take you with me, otherwise, how can I feel at ease if I leave you, a brat, in Bazhou Prefecture? I don't care if you deny your ancestors, I only care if you are still by my side, still my son. I didn't tell you the identity of your father before, but I was worried that with the power of the Jialin family, they wanted to take you away , I have no power to fight back. At the same time, because you are young, I am worried that you will make a fuss to find your father if you know that your father is not dead. But not long ago, the Lin family and the Jia family broke up. After Jia Daishan's death, the situation has also declined. Although the Lin family is still prosperous because of Lin Ruhai's existence, I am no longer the person who had no bargaining chips in my hand. I have already joined the fourth prince and worked under his command, and you, Uncle Wei, are by my side , naturally you don’t have to worry about the Lin family robbing you.”

"As for the fact that I obviously don't want you to recognize your father, why did I choose to go to Beijing?" Fu Li looked at him with a smile, "To pay homage to your grandfather, to open a shop in the capital, to marry your Uncle Wei, and to find you a suitable teacher... …With so many reasons, shouldn’t you go to Beijing?”

Brother Jin nodded knowingly: "My son knows."

Fu Li looked at Brother Jin, a little curious: "Now you know the identity of your biological father, do you want to recognize your ancestors?"

Brother Jin was stunned for a moment, and asked back, "Where is mother? Do you want Brother Jin to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan?"

"I respect your choice," Fu Li looked at Brother Jin earnestly, "I said, as long as you don't leave my side, I don't care whether you recognize your father or not. But there is one thing I need to tell you. Before marrying your Uncle Wei, you should try not to take the initiative to go to the Lin family to find your father."

As the old saying goes, don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Before they are fully prepared, they still

It is better not to take the initiative to cause trouble.

Brother Jin is smart, and after listening to Fu Li's words, he knew the meaning of Xian Xian, and nodded straightforwardly: "I suddenly found out the identity of my biological father, and I was still not sure what I was thinking. But mother, don't worry, I will definitely not take the initiative to go to Lin's house."

Fu Li nodded with a smile, and quickly remembered one thing: "I forgot to tell you, the two children of the Lin family are in very poor health. It is said that they have never stopped taking medicine since they could walk."

Brother Jin blinked, understood Fu Li's worry, and nodded seriously: "Mother, don't worry, son will save."

Wei Yan and Fu Li's marriage preparations were watched by the old lady, but there was no surprise.

Originally, with Wei Yan's identity and the difference in status between him and Fu Li, the news of Wei Yan and Fu Li's engagement would definitely cause a great disturbance in the capital. The news that the national treasury owed money caused a lot of uproar, compared to the news that Wei Yan was about to marry a "widowed" business woman, it didn't cause any disturbance in the capital.

Fu Li was quite satisfied with not encountering the expected gossip. Not only was she more active in preparing the dowry, but even the original plan to open a store was shelved, which did not affect her good mood.

But Fu Li was happy, but other people in the capital were not in such a good mood.

First of all, after Wei Ruolan's natal family learned that Wei Yan was about to remarry, the entire Zhao family was almost turned upside down by the second girl Zhao. She even forced her parents to threaten Wei Yan, saying yes Disagree with Wei Yan's choice of step-wife

In ancient times, widowers who lost their wives wanted to remarry, and they generally had to seek the consent of their original spouse's natal family before they could get married.

The parents of Miss Zhao Er didn't know what was going on in their minds, they actually listened to Miss Zhao Er's advice, and ran directly to Dingweihou's mansion. Wei Yan was not there, and they even threatened Mrs. Wei and the old lady, saying yes Disagree with Wei Yan's choice of step-wife.

Not only that, the two even brazenly told the two old men that they absolutely did not agree to other women being Lang Geer's stepmother except their own daughters, and they even called it that they were worried about handing Lang Geer over to other people. .

Then, the Zhao family couple was directly beaten out of Dingweihou Mansion by the housekeeper with a broom.

This is not over yet, when Wei Yan came home and found out about the Zhao family couple's visit, he found the fourth prince without saying a word, and after confirming that the Zhao family also owed the treasury several 10 taels of silver, he directly led the soldiers to block the door. Live at the door of the Zhao family and ask them to pay back the money immediately

Originally, for Lan Ge'er's sake, Wei Yan planned to postpone the time to go to Zhao's house to collect the arrears, so that they would have enough time to raise the arrears.

But since the Zhao family is so ignorant, why should he give them face?

Wei Yan thinks like a military general, if you want to do something, you have to do it.So not only did he block the Zhao family, but he also made people block all the family members who had a good relationship with the Zhao family.

If the Zhao family was blocked, they could still stay at home. It is certain that Wei Yan would not dare to force his way in.

After all, they were Wei Yan's father-in-law and mother-in-law, and his elders. If Wei Yan really used force against them, Wei Yan's reputation would be ruined if he became an official in the court in the future.

However, Wei Yan just asked people to block the Zhao family and prevent people from the Zhao family from coming out, but he used all means to those who were close to the Zhao family, forcing those family members to sell their iron. Return all the silver that was borrowed from the treasury at the beginning.

But the money was paid back, and these people were picky about the Zhao family who brought disaster to them, but they didn't get hurt too much by relying on their status, and they almost severed their relationship with the Zhao family.

The Zhao family panicked, and hurried to Wei Yan to intercede.

However, as soon as Wei Yan heard that it was the Zhao family, he directly refused to meet with them, and did not give them face at all.

The Zhao family had no choice but to find ways to raise money.

However, after the money was collected, Wei Yan didn't seem to be in a hurry, so he didn't take it at all, and continued to let his soldiers surround the Zhao family.

Even if the Zhao family and his wife are stupid, the rest of the Zhao family are not.Seeing this, why don't you know Wei Yan's real purpose?They are all from the Zhao family. These people do more things than Wei Yanjue. First, they directly tied up the second girl Zhao, and then removed the second girl Zhao's father from the position of patriarch, and then expelled the Zhao family. Zong threatened and forced him to write a document agreeing to Wei Yan's continued marriage.

After getting the documents, Wei Yan immediately appeared at the Zhao family, returned the IOUs that the Zhao family had borrowed, and then left the Zhao family with his soldiers and several 10 taels of silver.

When the dust settled, the rest of the Zhao family breathed a sigh of relief.

However, for the second girl Zhao who caused this disaster, they did not plan to keep her in the Zhao family, but disregarded the objections of the Zhao family and his wife, and immediately began to find a suitable marriage candidate for her. Within half a month, they made an appointment. dear.

Although the Zhao family repays the money smoothly, there are so many people in Beijing, most of them are more powerful than the Zhao family, and these people are used to being in groups, and it is more difficult to get them to pay back the money. Not bad.

And among these people, the one that caused the fourth prince the most headache was the largest clique in the capital.

Four princes and eight males.

These twelve families advance together and retreat together. No matter what they do, they will discuss and agree, and no one will stand out.

The most important thing is that these twelve families have a deep friendship with the emperor. If the means used by the fourth prince are too extreme, these people will immediately let the old people in the family go to the palace to cry to the emperor, and then the emperor will call the fourth prince into the palace , not to mention a training, at least a beating, so that he should be careful not to chill the old minister's heart.

Among them, the one that the emperor cared about the most was Jia Daishan's old wife, Jia Shishi.

However, what the emperor didn't know was that the more he said that, the more disgusted the fourth prince was towards the four princes and eight princes, and his desire to eradicate them became more determined.

At this moment, the spies sent by the fourth prince to the Jiangnan area brought him good news

Ever since the fourth princess met Fu Li and obtained her consent, the fourth prince couldn't wait to send the spies he had trained to Jiangnan, and then took advantage of Fu Li's shop in the Jiangnan area to inquire about the so-called four major families and guardians. Official news.

The four major families may have been used to being local emperors in Jinling, so they acted quite arrogantly and spoke out loud.

The masters of the four major families' houses still pay attention to what to say and what not to say, but the servants in the house have no such worries at all.Not to mention other things, but things like official amulets that can only be circulated in private, but can't be put on the bright side, the servants of the four major families regard it as a talk to show off. In pursuit, it is easy to say it.

After getting the accurate information, the fourth prince took almost no time to get the official talisman, and then retrieved all the cases that the four major families had suppressed with the talisman over the years.

With the criminal evidence in hand, the fourth prince directly entered the palace with it.

The fourth prince is also narrow-minded. Before entering the palace, he specifically asked the guards in the palace. After learning that the four princes and eight princes sent someone to the palace to cry, he entered the palace with a smile, and then in front of that person's On the face of it, he directly handed over the evidence of the four major families to the emperor.
