Chapter 353: Bastard
"The tenth brother's illegitimate child?" Yun Fenghuang frowned, "Is this... true or not? Although the tenth brother's backyard is not without concubines, but... he shouldn't be someone who can raise a foreigner? "
She knows her own brothers well. After all, at a time like this, they are born in a wealthy family and their family background is relatively good. If there is a couple for a lifetime, it can only depend on fate.
After all, most of the men have three wives and four concubines. They were raised by the Jiang family since they were young, and Yun Fenghuang doesn't take the love of his children very seriously. For example, as long as she doesn't dote on concubines and kill wives, she doesn't bother to pay attention.
It's just that the Jiang family taught their daughters to be careful, but they didn't care about their sons.
Xie Xishi's four brothers all married women from the same family. With Jiang's vision, Yun Fenghuang's sisters-in-law were all born as virtuous and virtuous daughters-in-law.
Although there are many concubines in the backyard, the main wife never loses her dignity.
Things like the second room Xiao Luo's quarrel with her husband for the concubine's children, and even the young daughter-daughter, never happened in the fourth room.
The main reason is that under Jiang's suggestion and setting an example, no matter what they think in their hearts, the sons and daughters-in-law are very good at the scene.
What's more, the eldest son and even the eldest daughter of Xie Xishi's four brothers are all born of the main wife. The current and future status and interests of the main wife are fully guaranteed.
Therefore, in Yun Fenghuang's impression, although her brothers are not the kind of masters who guard their bodies like jade, besides the main wife in the family, there are also some concubines who go out and go to those flower streets and willow alleys. There is no shortage of good friends, but... Never had an illegitimate child?
"The son-in-law didn't believe it at first. You know, the son-in-law is a bit older than the tenth son, and he didn't play together before." The visitor said cautiously, "If it was before, it wouldn't be a big deal. Madam said hello, and it has nothing to do with the son-in-law. But now... the son-in-law is thinking, even if the child's biological mother is not serious, it is of Xie's blood. Xie's family has no one now... No matter how bad the birth , but we can't delay any longer... Madam, look at this...?"
Yun Fenghuang frowned, yes, if this was before, let alone Xie Xishi's illegitimate son, even if it was the best-connected Xie Xiaoyu's illegitimate son, she would definitely not bother to pay attention.
He even directly ordered his brother not to pay any attention, so as not to cause trouble for her decent sister-in-law, so that the fire in the backyard made her serious nephews and nieces feel uncomfortable.
But the Xie family is not what it used to be. After the death, the children withered.
In particular, her tenth brother originally had nearly ten children, but except Xie Mu, none of them survived!
At this moment, this illegitimate child, no matter how bad his background was, as Xie Wuzheng said, he is of Xie's blood, he is her nephew by blood.
In the future, I can't say Xie Xishi's line, no, it should be said Xie Jian's line, he is here to bear the burden.
"Are you sure? Now that everyone in the world knows about the Xie family, they can also guess that the Xie family's descendants, even if they are of a distant bloodline, my palace and the son-in-law attach great importance to it." She thought over and over again, He asked slowly, "Maybe there is someone who wants to steal!"
The visitor nodded and said: "My son-in-law also thinks so, but I found some people who used to follow the tenth son, and they all said that this matter is actually an open secret in the tenth son's circle. The reason why they didn't admit it back, but It was because the ten sons had no shortage of heirs at that time, and they were tired of the child's biological mother, so they threw some money and ignored them, and didn't allow their mother and son to come to the door. The woman wanted to make a fuss, but at that time, the children of the Jiang family were helping to threaten her. , I said... I said that the Fourth Madam's rules are so strict that she frightened people, so she honestly took the money and left."
Yun Fenghuang snorted: "Jiang's family? Which cousin helped? He is a warm-hearted master! Knowing that mother doesn't like such messy things the most, he still has to make trouble for Brother Ten to fool people!"
"Young lady, calm down, do you think it's because the heavens have pity on the master and wife, so that the blood of the four chambers will continue?" The imperial concubine was still pondering and suspicious in her heart, but the people next to her were already rubbing the corners of their eyes. Yan persuaded, "If that lowly servant girl comes in, this young master may not be there this time!"
Then he whispered, "Most of these women outside are not very good. After the young master comes back, he has nothing to do with her. Anyway, the young master is still young. When he grows up under his uncle's knees, he has serious aunts and aunts." If you keep it, you may not know your life experience in the future."
"..." Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while, and asked someone to come, "Tell me about the child's situation in detail."
The visitor bowed and said yes, after thinking for a while, he said: "Young master is seven years old this year, and the past two years have been difficult: the young master's biological mother was not from a serious background, and he thought that relying on the young master, he could get in." , failed in the end, and was greatly disappointed, it was not good for the young master. Not only did he beat and scold him every day, but the money and silk given by the ten princes were never spent on the young master, and... and..."
Quietly sizing up Yun Fenghuang's face, he dared to continue in a low voice, "Besides, I heard that the young master is very handsome. When he grows up, he will...sell the young master to such a shameful place!"
Yun Fenghuang's master and servant had a gloomy expression at the same time.
The Qing people said angrily: "Even if the ten sons don't recognize it, it is still my Xie family blood, how dare she?!"
"What Auntie said is that the woman is indeed too vicious." The visitor apologized, "It is also because the young master is of Xie's blood, no, the son-in-law met now?"
Although Yun Fenghuang was not happy, he was not as impulsive as the Qing people.
She knew in her heart that the Xie family had no shortage of heirs in the past, and Xie Xishi had several sons, so would she care about a child born to him by a lover who fell out of favor?
If it weren't for Xie's current state, even if Xie Xishi was still there, knowing that his own flesh and blood had been sold to be prostitutes... To be honest, it is unknown whether he would help.
After all, he never cared about that child, but if he cared a little bit, not to mention taking it back to be raised by his regular wife, the girl he dated didn't know her personality, so why should he send it to the countryside to find a kind family for placement? I didn't care about throwing a few dollars, so I didn't take it to heart.
"Forget it, I can rest assured that the consort is doing things. Since he is sure that he is the blood of the tenth brother, then..." Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, then said slowly, "Then according to his wishes, let the child recognize the ancestor Go back to the sect."
After a pause, "It's just that it's better to discuss these matters with the tenth sister-in-law's natal family. After all, the biological flesh and blood of the tenth brother and the tenth sister-in-law are confirmed to be gone now. My idea is that if the tenth sister-in-law's family is also willing, this After the child comes back, it will be directly recorded in the name of the tenth sister-in-law. Anyway, if there are no accidents, he will be the great-grandson of the fourth room."
In this way, it also allowed him to better separate himself from his unreliable biological mother.
So that the woman will not be entangled in the future.
However, she is still thinking about the annihilation of Xie Xishi's lineage. No matter how much she doesn't like such an illegitimate child, since she decides to admit it, she has to leave some leeway. The treatment is different, unless this is a reincarnation of a white-eyed wolf, otherwise there is no one who does not want Xie.
Xie Wuzheng is straightforward.
At this moment, the visitor hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty said yes. In fact, the son-in-law also thinks that it would be better for the young master to directly recognize Madam Ten Young as his mother. After all, his biological mother is not here now..."
Yun Fenghuang was a little surprised, but then felt pretty good, so he asked, "Why didn't it exist? Could it be that Wei He also fell victim to it?"
"But it's not." The visitor coughed dryly, "The son-in-law received the news and sent someone to look for the young master. After learning about what happened to the young master in the past two years, he gave some money to the woman. The woman was greedy for wine. As a result, he accidentally drowned in the water tank."
Well, needless to say, it must be Xie Wuzheng who sent him on the road overnight in order to vent his anger on his nephew and also to prevent future troubles forever.
"In that case, then I don't bother to argue with her." Yun Fenghuang nodded, if she was not afraid that her tenth brother, the only surviving male heir, would hold grudges in the future, she would not want the woman to survive.
Hearing the words, he didn't take it seriously, and said slowly, "It's just that this kid should go to school at his age, what arrangements do Brother Twenty One have for this?"
The visitor smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, this is why the son-in-law has a headache. According to the intention of the son-in-law and the eighteenth son, he intends to bring the young master by his side and teach him personally. But the two of you and other middle-aged Xie's sons are all here. In the army, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back for a year or so. What's more, the northern land is remote, and there are no outstanding gentlemen. The eighteenth young lady agreed to teach the young master herself. It is said that the eighteenth young lady came from a scholarly family, and Kai Meng was There is no problem. But the empress also knows that the Eighteenth Young Madam is weak in nature, and His Royal Highness Sui'an is also extremely virtuous and virtuous... The son-in-law feels that the young master is already a bit timid because of his experience. If you continue to ask His Highness or the Eighteenth Young Madam to teach you, will you be too girlish in the future?"
When Yun Fenghuang listened, his expression became solemn.
Still the same sentence, if Mrs. Xie hadn't had an accident, none of these things would have happened.
Anyway, there are so many children, this one doesn't live up to expectations, and there is another one.
But now, neither she nor Xie Wuzheng has the right to pick and choose. These children must all be taken seriously.
"As the saying goes, men and women have different seats at seven years old, and the child is already seven years old. His Highness and Eighteenth Sister-in-law are young, so it may not be convenient for them to get along." Yun Fenghuang thought for a moment, then said, "In this way, let him stay at home and give the tenth brother and his wife Staying there for nine months, firstly, to fulfill the duty of being a son of man; secondly, to avoid being criticized when you grow up. Afterwards, send someone to the Imperial Capital, and I will arrange for him in this palace."
It is impossible to bring such a big nephew by his side, but he can use it as a reading companion and put it in the classroom of the princes.
It just so happened that the Seventh Prince in front of her was about to formally enroll.
Although Yin Qu had already prepared two accompanying students, but Yun Fenghuang had to take a place temporarily for the surviving nephew, presumably Yin Qu would not lose face.
