Rebirth of marriage

"Qingyun, was your uncle really harmed by his cousin...by Marquis Mingyuan?" After the doctor left, Zhao Huaikang waved his servants away and asked his doubts.

There was too much news tonight and it was too shocking. He needed to confirm it with his son.

Why can't my eldest brother have children?

Is Song Nianru really the woman of Marquis Mingyuan, but was tricked by her mother into marrying her to Qian Biao?

Nihuang in the mansion is their child, so where is the eldest brother's child now?

Zhao Qingyun looked at his kind but indifferent parents and said to Ah Hou, "Uncle Hou, please go and guard the door."

Ah Hou nodded and jumped directly onto the roof, taking in a panoramic view of the entire courtyard.

"It has been confirmed that it is him, but the evidence that can convict him is still lacking." Zhao Qingyun held his father in one arm and his mother in the other, and the three of them sat in front of Zhen Guogong's bed.

He informed Zhao Huaikang and his wife about the recent investigation with his grandfather and the matter of thanking him for drinking.

"It turned out to be her." Upon hearing that Xie Jiu was the real Princess Nihuang, the Crown Princess's eyes widened and she covered her mouth.

On the day when Xie Jiu held the memorial tablet and got married, she was taking her two daughters to choose jewelry in the shop. She also saw the commotion. At that time, she also cursed in her heart that Yongning Houfu was evil and allowed a good girl to spend her whole life. The widow also spat at her father who thanked him for drinking wine. At that time, she only thought that he was greedy for vanity.

She didn't expect that there would be so many difficulties, and she felt guilty.

She then thought about that day at the Yongning Hou Mansion, when Xie Jiu was plotted against by the Cai family and their daughter, and Nihuang caused trouble. She regretted, "I took Nihuang to the Yongning Hou Mansion that day, but Nihuang stopped her from reconciling. She Will you blame me?"

She married into the family before Yun Dai. Her mother-in-law liked to show off her authority. She couldn't bear her husband to be in trouble between her mother and his wife, so she always reported good news but not bad news, but kept herself humble in front of her mother-in-law.

It was Yun Dai who told her that you are not just your mother-in-law's daughter-in-law, you are still yourself and the mother of your child, and you must set an example for your daughter.

If your child sees you groveling in front of your mother-in-law too much, she will think that women should be like this in the future. Even if they are bullied by their in-laws, they will not know how to resist, because her mother is like this.

When she tried to stand up, her mother-in-law gave her a hard time, but Yun Dai helped her many times, even though Yun Dai knew that doing so would make her mother-in-law dislike her even more.

Yun Dai told her that filial piety and weakness are two different things.

She gave birth to a daughter for the first time, and her mother-in-law criticized her a lot. She also felt ashamed of her husband and could not continue her marriage by giving him a son.

Yun Dai woke her up, "You can't change other people's opinions, but you can't underestimate yourself, and you can't underestimate your daughter. Whatever happened to your daughter, she is also a human being."

She put her eldest daughter on her neck and teased, "Little one, if someone dares to bully you in the future, my eldest aunt will help you beat her up. Just grow up well."

Later, Yun Dai had her own child. She was pregnant with Qing Yun and did not return to her parents' home. When she went to Shacheng, she ordered someone to send her a letter. In the letter, she said that she also had a child and that she had to be a good person for her child. Mother.

She was happy for her and looked forward to their reunion soon, but the goodbye was already in the coffin of her and her uncle.

She always remembered how kind Yun Dai was to her and how caring and accommodating she was to Ni Huang, even though Ni Huang had never respected her as her aunt.

But it turns out that everything was wrong. She was treating the murderer's daughter kindly. Why is she always so stupid?

Zhao Qingyun took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears of the Crown Princess, and said warmly, "Mom, the second sister is a sensible person. She won't blame you. Don't think too much about it. When she returns home, please treat her as much as possible. We will We are a family and we have a bright future.”

"Okay, I will be good to her. Your aunt was also very good to your sister in the past. I should also be good to her children." The Crown Princess shed tears and nodded.

Zhao Huaikang finally recovered from the shock and grief that his eldest brother was killed. He asked, "Why is your uncle unable to have children?"

The eldest brother has practiced martial arts since he was a child and is much healthier than him. How could he be unable to have children... Suddenly, he thought of something, "Is it that injury?"

He remembered that one time his eldest brother was seriously injured while trying to save his father.

When his son nodded, he slapped himself in the face, "I'm so useless."

Because he was useless and couldn't help his father and brother, there was no need for his father and brother to tell him some things. They protected him to be a wealthy and idle man, but behind his leisure, it was his father and brother who shouldered the responsibility that should belong to him. .

"Father." Zhao Qingyun held his hand, "Don't do this. This matter is related to my uncle's reputation. The fewer people know about it, the better."

Zhao Huaikang understood, and at the same time he also understood why his mother would suddenly relent and let his elder sister-in-law in, and why his father would agree to his elder brother's resignation as son.

In fact, it is not necessary. If the eldest brother is more selfish, he can still be his eldest son, inherit the title in the future, and adopt his younger brother's son into his name.

But the eldest brother didn't. He would not snatch his son away. Just like before, he would protect him and let him do everything.

He buried his face in his sleeves and rubbed it hard a few times, "Qingyun, your grandfather is taken care of by me and your mother. You can do whatever you need to do. If you need us to do anything, just tell us directly."

As for his mother, he felt a tearing pain in his heart. His mother had always treated him well, but she had made mistakes, and she would even continue to make mistakes.

He is a man who has no opinion and is soft-hearted. If his mother cries to him, he will inevitably agree to some of her requests. He murmured, "I won't go see your grandmother, but don't treat her badly when it comes to food and drink."

"My son understands." Zhao Qingyun responded to his father, but also forced himself. It turns out that killing relatives for justice is so painful.

But now was not the time to indulge in emotions. He straightened his expression and revealed some of his and his grandfather's plans to his parents. Finally, he warned, "Grandma has been the housekeeper for so many years, and she prefers Marquis Mingyuan. It is inevitable that some in the house have betrayed the master or betrayed the master. Outsiders have been put in. From now on, my parents can’t trust anyone except Uncle Hou and us."

The two nodded seriously.

Zhao Qingyun saw self-blame and frustration on their faces, as well as childlike nervousness and panic.

Feeling sorry for them, he hugged their arms and said seriously, "Mom and dad, I am very happy to be your son."

The two of them knew that this was their son's comfort, and they felt even more guilty in their hearts. As parents, they still had their son to take care of their emotions, but with smiles on their faces, they could no longer let their son spend his energy on them.

After saying something else, Ah Hou came back, holding the jars of wine in his hand, "It's poisonous."

"Do they still want to harm father?" Zhao Huaikang asked. He had just heard the housekeeper's words in the room. This wine was brought to his father by Mrs. Mingyuan Hou.

When I asked it, I felt like I was asking a stupid question. I didn't mean to harm my father. Why did I bring this poisonous wine?

Zhao Qingyun muttered, "The poison should not have been poisoned by Mingyuan Hou and his wife. They didn't know that it was their grandfather who hurt him. Now is the time to seek help from the Zhenguo Government.

In the past, they might have harmed my grandfather, but now that Marquis Mingyuan has broken his leg, even if I cannot hold on to the military power and connections of the Duke of Zhenguo, they will not fall into the hands of a man with a broken leg. "

If it wasn't Marquis Mingyuan and the others, then who was responsible for the poison?

Several people were silent.

"Is it Song Nianru?" The imperial concubine said hesitantly, "She hopes that her daughter will enter the third prince's palace, but the third prince already has a main concubine, so she can only be a concubine. My father will not agree to our girl being a concubine, let alone She is also engaged to Prince Xiao..."

Therefore, she had to get rid of those who opposed this matter first, but didn't Qingyun say that she had that kind of relationship with Marquis Mingyuan?She used Mingyuan Hou's hand to harm her father, so she didn't care about Mingyuan Hou's life or death?

The Crown Princess has never done any evil and cannot understand Song Nianru's thoughts.

Zhao Qingyun affirmed her, "My mother's guess is reasonable, but now that my grandfather is ill and can't drink, she may look for other ways."

"I boiled your grandfather's medicine myself and placed it in this yard. Your father helped me keep an eye on it." The imperial concubine, who was recognized by her son, gained some confidence.

Zhao Huaikang nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Ah Hou had a look of relief in his eyes and hurriedly said, "The old slave will ask someone to set up a temporary medicine stove now."

Xie Jiu heard that Duke Zhen was still awake at midnight, so he was still worried. He put on his night clothes and secretly came to Duke Zhen's mansion with Gu Xiao.

When he arrived, the Duke of Zhen had just woken up and was being helped by Zhao Qingyun to sit up, while Zhao Huaikang was giving him medicine.

He seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden. The broad and strong shoulders that he used to have were slumped down and he was leaning weakly on his grandson. He looked very worn and decadent.

"Here we come." He swallowed the bitter medicine in his mouth and motioned for the two of them to sit down.

"Come to see you." Xie Jiu sat down in front of his bed. She stared at the old man who had lost all energy and said carefully, "Grandpa, my granddaughter has something stuck in her heart and she can't let it go. Can you please help her?" Clear up the confusion?"

The Duke of Zhen nodded feebly, "You say."

"The prince implemented the decree on widow remarriage in Yuyouguan, so we facilitated the marriage of a widowed sister-in-law and her brother-in-law. The widowed sister-in-law took her son and married her brother-in-law, and the family of three lived happily.

But Cao Zhiru knew about my relationship with the prince. In order to frame the prince and prevent me, a widow, from remarrying, the Cao family arrested all three members of the family and brought them to the capital. They poisoned the child and the woman.

Trying to use their lives to deal with us.

I felt guilty and couldn't sleep or eat well. If it weren't for me, this family of three would not have caused this disaster. Grandpa, what do you think my granddaughter should do? "

"Father, you have just woken up. Why don't you wait until you feel better before talking to your niece." Zhao Huaikang couldn't bear that his strong-willed father suddenly became so weak and was still thinking about how to drink alcohol.

Some even blamed Xie Jiu for being ignorant.

No one in the room responded to his words.

After a long time, he saw his rickety father suddenly sit up straight, tears falling down his pale cheeks. With tears streaming down his face, he said to Xie Jiu in a hoarse voice, "Good boy, grandfather understands."
