Jiapingguan Chronicle

The adults coaxed Xiao Xiushui to play for a while, then saw the child starting to feel sleepy, yawning profusely, and dozing off while holding Hongye's arms.

Jin Miaomiao simply asked Hongye to take him directly to her yard, which was placed in a small wing next to her house. If anything happened at night, she could check it out immediately.

Watching Hong Ye leading Xiao Xiu Shui away, Shen Cha asked Ying Wu to close the door of the flower hall. They first asked about Aunt Liang.

The content of Aunt Liang's confession is basically consistent with what Zhou Niang said, but there is only one deviation, and that is Aunt Liang's understanding of her own identity, and her relationship with Shen Zhonghe, Zhou Niang and Hui Niang. .

However, just such a slight deviation has surprised everyone who has listened to Zhou Niang's account.

"This is too..." Xue Ruitian looked in disbelief, "Isn't it unbelievable? Friends' wives are not to be bullied. That old man Shen can actually... be able to do such a thing?"

"That is to say, to be able to have such a relationship with my good brother's wife and have a child is really..." Mei Lin sat cross-legged and looked at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, then Xue Ruitian, and finally looked at Second Master Jiang and Uncle Qi, "No wonder she has always wanted to take the Shen family as her own. It turns out that she knows her identity."

"Indeed!" Shen Cha nodded, "The adopted daughter is just a cover to cover up the illegitimate daughter." She looked at Ying Wu, "Did she say when she knew about it?"

"It was Mr. Shen who gave her mother's belongings to her before he died, and then told her about her life experience," Ying Wu sighed softly, "Besides, the old man said that you can never count on Shen Zhonghe. That kid has a treacherous streak in his head, and he may destroy the Shen family's foundation one day, so it's better to leave the family to his daughter."

"It makes sense. How Mr. Shen handles his property is his own wish. What Shen Zhonghe should do is to separate his own small family from Mr. Shen's family. This will not only save Zhou Niang, but also Save Hui Niang and Xiao Bao." Second Master Jiang sighed, "But he didn't know the true identity of this housekeeper, so he didn't think about it."

"It really should be separated, because Shen Zhonghe is not Mr. Shen's biological grandson."

"Ah? What did you say?"

Now even Shen Haolin, who had been unresponsive, was stunned and looked at Ying Wu in surprise.

"Master Guo, it's true." Ying Wu sighed softly, "The woman named Liang said that in fact, the Shen family was not originally named Shen, but Ye, Yelong."

"Yelong?" Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian looked at each other, "Is it Yelong, the navy commander who was killed by the last emperor of the previous dynasty 200 years ago?"

"It's him." Ying Wu nodded, "The woman surnamed Liang said that this was also the secret that Mr. Shen revealed to her before he died. Yelong completely offended the last emperor of the previous dynasty because he directly rebuked the former emperor for his excessive lewdness. , the whole family was executed by the last emperor. Only two sons escaped because they were studying abroad and were not in the capital or the camp. This is not accurate enough. I remember, this brother Both of them were also hunted.”

"Yes, I heard that is the case, but the emperor sent people to search all the places they could go, but they could not find these two people. It turned out that they were hiding in a small town in the southern border. At that time, the southern border was no longer under the control of the emperor. .”

"That's right." Ying Wu nodded, "The one named Liang said that Mr. Shen told her that the two brothers were rescued by his father's former lieutenant, and later lived incognito in the small town." "Why?" Your surname is Shen?"

"The deputy general who rescued them was named Shen. He originally had two younger brothers at home, but they escaped and got lost when they were young, so they pretended to be the deputy general's younger brothers and lived under this identity."

"So that's it." Xue Ruitian nodded and looked at Shen Haolin, "Yelong has a deputy named Shen?"

"No." Shen Haolin shook his head firmly, "There are four lieutenants around Yelong, Ouyang, Qi, Fan, and Gao, but there is no lieutenant named Shen, but..." He sneered, "There is a lieutenant in the court. The brother who is both an enemy and a friend, his surname is Shen." He looked at Xue Ruitian and raised his eyebrows slightly, "This man surnamed Shen once wanted to join our family, but our ancestors did not agree."

"Is there such a thing?" Shen Cha leaned over and looked at Shen Haolin curiously, "Who is this person? Why doesn't the ancestor agree?"

"Because he has evil intentions and bad intentions!" Second Master Jiang raised his eyebrows at the curious children, "The one named Shen is not Shen. He was named Shen because he married into the Shen family." I saw a few The children all looked at him. He tapped the small table with the handle of the fan and said, "I heard this from your grandfather and your father. I was also shocked at the time. The one named Shen He was originally a gangster from Xijing City, I forgot what his nickname was, but he was not a good guy anyway."

"A gangster can't even be considered a poor family. According to the previous dynasty, he is at most a pariah. How did he get married?"

"The young lady from the Shen family was robbed by a gangster when she was on the street, so she was saved by this gangster."

"Is this the gift of saving my life?"

"That's not the case. The young lady likes nice colors, and this gangster happens to have a face that the young lady likes. Therefore, the young lady likes him very much and insists on recruiting him as her wife. The family refuses to listen to any advice. You must have your own way.”

"This Shen family..." Shen Haolin frowned slightly, "A clan?"

"They are very small and have little strength. They just rely on the ancestors to earn a living. But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Such a family background is naturally in front of a family like Wang Xie's and a family like yours. It’s not enough to watch, but for a gangster, if he can successfully get married, it will be like reaching the sky in one step, isn’t it?”

"That's true." Shen Haolin nodded, "What happened next?"

"As for the Shen family, they originally wanted to connect with your family and gain glory from your family, but your family never took them seriously, and they didn't have any connections. But that boy seemed to say there was a way. The Shen family members agreed. After the boy got married, he began to work hard. In the first year after getting married, he went to the southern border to serve as a soldier. He was at home for few days in a year. Because he worked hard, he was promoted quickly. In just three or two years, he will be on an equal footing with Ye Long."

"He and Yelong are colleagues?"

"Yes!" Mr. Jiang nodded, "But the faster you get promoted, the more jealous you will be. Yelong is like this, and so is he. Just when he was about to serve as the deputy general of the then coach, word spread from Beijing. The bad news came, his in-law family was wiped out overnight."
