The lucky star of rebirth

Chapter 125 Debunked
Duke Cheng's Mansion
The old man was sitting on a high chair, leaning on the soft cushion behind him, squinting at the scenery outside the window at the beginning of the snow after the snow.

Cheng Guogong sat beside him, with a smile on his face: "The fifth of the six ceremonies has passed, Your Majesty means that Ping An and Princess Jinyang will be married this month."

"How is the Queen Mother?" the old man asked.

Cheng Guogong frowned: "I heard that it is very bad. A few days ago, I went to the palace to visit safely. It is said that people are sometimes awake and sometimes confused. It seems that they were frightened by ghosts in the palace."

"What's going on?" the old man asked again.

"Who knows." Cheng Guogong shook his head, "Nowadays there are rumors all over Jinling City, saying that His Majesty was not born to the Empress Dowager, and that His Majesty's mother was killed by the Empress Dowager, or that the Empress Dowager had a guilty conscience, so... probably because of suspicion. Live a dark ghost."

The old Duke waved his hand: "I do know a little bit about this. Alas, I thought that Princess Jinyang is His Majesty's own sister, and the Queen Mother has a high prestige in the court. It is only beneficial to our family to marry Princess Jinyang safely." Damn, how could I have thought that there is such a thing in it, if this is the case, then marrying a daughter of a poor family is not as helpful to peace as marrying Princess Jinyang, but we can't figure it out."

"Father, don't think too much. Things in this world are not going as you wish." Cheng Guogong didn't feel anything, but comforted the old Guogong.

"I'm afraid that when the Queen Mother leaves, His Majesty will despise Princess Jinyang, and may still want to use Ping'an to suppress Princess Jinyang. At that time, Ping'an will only be unlucky." Just a few words.

However, Cheng Guogong was still the same as before, and he didn't think there was anything wrong.

At this moment, An Huai, the old man's confidant, walked in quickly and said a few words in the old man's ear, the old man was surprised: "Really?"

An Huai nodded: "It's absolutely true, it can't be wrong."

The old man waved his hand and told An Huai to back down. As soon as An Huai left, the old man's face became heavy, and he looked at Cheng Guogong: "Now I've inquired about something and told you, and you just listen. Make up your mind."

"Father, please tell me." Cheng Guogong stood up immediately.

The old Duke sighed: "Do you still remember the son born to the Song family earlier? After all, it is your legitimate son."

"I remember." Cheng Guogong nodded: "The child was one year younger than Ping An, and he almost died when he was born. He was taken away because he was weak and sick. It's just that many years have passed, and there is no news at all. I'm afraid it's already gone."

The old man glanced at Cheng Guogong, thought for a while and said, "I thought so too, but I asked An Huai to inquire carefully, and the child is still alive, named Cheng Huaijin, and I heard it was Song's family. The name was chosen before sending him away, and this child is also capable, and now he is the commander of Jin Yiwei."

"Ah!" Cheng Guogong exclaimed and almost fell down: "Father, you, what are you talking about, the Commander of Jin Yiwei is from our family?"

The old man nodded: "Exactly."

"Unfilial son." Cheng Guogong cursed immediately: "How long has he been back, and he has never even entered the door, but he still wants to recognize me as a father, your grandfather, and I heard from Ping'an that that thing Not only did he hit him once, he clearly knew..."

"Maybe I don't know." The old Duke's face was a little sad: "Maybe the man didn't tell him, and now that the Song family has gone again, he said that he had to know his life experience, otherwise, our Duke's mansion is rich and powerful, and he You can't deny it either."

"Maybe." Cheng Guogong thought for a while and felt that what the old Guogong said was reasonable, so he nodded reluctantly.

"Is it your son-in-law after all? It stands to reason that he should inherit the government of this country. Ping'an is a stepson. Although we also know the identity of Ping'an, it's hard to tell the outside world. You didn't listen to our family. The discordant people scolded you, saying that you have cut off your children and grandchildren, and you have never left a girl behind." Speaking of this, the old Duke's face became a bit more painful: "Now that the real son of the Duke's Mansion is back, we can't help it." Recognize, just for the sake of fame and face, this child has to be recognized, and besides, I think this child is not bad, after I recognize him, I will train him well, he can't be more successful than Ping An."

Duke Cheng disapproved when he heard this: "What do you mean by that? I originally planned to ask Ping An to inherit the Duke's mansion. If Huaijin is recognized, it will be both emotional and reasonable... If he and It's not a good thing for the Pingan brothers to have an awkward fight."

"It's better than having someone scold you for cutting off your sons and grandchildren." The old man was unhappy when he heard this, and immediately slapped the table: "This dynasty emphasizes the first son, and the child is both the first son and the first son, and that is our old family." The real bloodline of the first family, not some kind of concubine, I thought he was gone, and then I saw Ping An as a weapon, so I agreed with Ping An, but now that the main wife is back, the concubine will naturally have to move."

From the bottom of his heart, the old Duke attaches great importance to his concubines. He values ​​the bloodline of his family very much, but he does not pay much attention to his sons. It's just that he didn't have a bloodline in his family before, so the old Duke held his nose to Cheng Ping'an, and it was Cheng Ping'an himself. Being competitive can please the old man, and that's why the old man loves him a little bit.

But now, with the whereabouts of the direct bloodline, in the eyes of the old Duke, Cheng Ping'an, a concubine who is not even a concubine, can get on the stage again.

"Father." Cheng Guogong said with a hurt expression on his face, "It turned out that the Song family fell, and you agreed with me to imprison the Song family. Speaking of which, the Song family was tortured to death by us, and it might be a disaster for her son to know. .”

"That's your son." The old man yelled loudly: "His surname is Cheng, not Song. If he wants to harm us after he recognizes his ancestors and returns to the clan, then he is unfilial. One mouthful of saliva can drown us all in the summer." How dare he kill him?"

One sentence made Cheng Guogong stop his mouth, bowed his head and just remained silent.

The old Duke sighed: "I know you like Ping'an, but Ping'an is a kid who has no intention of being an official. He only cares about doing business. What kind of future does a businessman have? Can he grow us into a Duke's mansion? But Huaijin is different. , this child can make decisions with a cruel heart, and it's not like Ping'an got into the eyes of money, maybe we will have to rely on Huaijin after we become the Duke's mansion."

Having said that, the old Duke paused again, stretched out his skinny hands and patted the table: "Huaijin is now the commander of Jinyiwei, and others are weak. If things go too far, it is inevitable that His Majesty will take them over in the future." To appease the courtiers, can you just watch your bloodline disappear like this? If he recognizes his ancestors and returns to his clan, with our Duke Cheng's mansion behind him, His Majesty will have to worry about it, at least he can save his life."

The old Duke has paid attention to Cheng Huaijin since he knew that Cheng Huaijin might be a descendant of Duke Cheng's mansion. He is a lover of his sons and grandsons, but now his heart is really on Cheng Huaijin's side.

What Cheng Guogong asked the old Guogong to say was even more embarrassing.

He thought a lot. Originally, when Mrs. Song was pregnant, he prescribed the medicine. At that time, he listened to Mrs. Zhou's instigation, and when he began to prescribe the medicine, he didn't know that Mrs. Song was pregnant. When he found out later, Mrs. Song was already pregnant. After taking a lot of medicine, Cheng Guogong was very worried, and thought about taking the medicine again. The child was afraid that he would not be able to survive. If so, it would be better to add another fire to beat the child down, so as to save the Song family from suffering.

He really didn't think that Cheng Huaijin was fine in the womb at that time, but because of his irresponsible father, he became weak and sick after birth.

When Cheng Ping'an was born, Zhou's married husband also passed away, and he and Zhou had more time to spend time together, so Zhou acted like a baby and aggressively encouraged Duke Cheng to deal with the child.

Cheng Guogong also made Zhou Shi fascinated. He wanted to prescribe medicine, but he didn't want Song Shi to be too prepared. He couldn't succeed for a while. Jin left, and Song agreed.

It wasn't until then that Cheng Guogong became affectionate and regretted Cheng Huaijin's son-in-law, but it was too late, and within a day or two, that man had taken Cheng Huaijin away.

After Cheng Huaijin left, Cheng Guogong put all his attention on Cheng Ping'an, and then slowly forgot Cheng Huaijin's son.

"Father." Cheng Guogong thought a lot for a while, but finally he was determined: "I will listen to you. When Huaijin comes back, I will explain to him about the recognition of the ancestors."

"That's right." The old man was very satisfied, and for a moment a smile appeared on his face: "Now Huaijin has the trust of His Majesty, and has made an appointment with Ji Xiang's daughter. His future is in full swing. If you recognize him, Not only Jinyiwei can be used by us, but Ji Xiang, who is also our family's in-laws, tell me, isn't this a good thing."

Afterwards, the old Duke sighed again: "Speaking of which, the daughter of the Ji family is better than Princess Jinyang, but it's a pity that she doesn't look down on Ping An."

Cheng Guogong still likes to care for Cheng Ping'an very much. Hearing what the old man said, Ji's girl doesn't look down on Ping'an, but she looks down on Huaijin. It seems that Ping'an is not as good as Huaijin, and he is a little angry for a while. "As far as Mrs. Ji Xiang's virtue is concerned, what kind of good girl can she teach? I think Miss Ji's etiquette is not good. After marrying into our family, I will ask Huai Jin to teach her to learn etiquette. Save it and embarrass our family."

"Come on, let's go." The old man waved his hand: "Go and prepare some things to visit Ji Xiang. After you go, you must speak nicely, don't say such unpleasant things."

Although Cheng Guogong was reluctant, he had to agree.

After coming out of the old man's house, Cheng Guogong thought as he walked, and after thinking for a long time, he made up his mind to recognize it as Huai Jin.

It's just that Cheng Guogong thinks very beautifully, as if he is so tall, as long as he wants to admit it, no one will not look forward to him, but he doesn't know that Cheng Huaijin hates the people in Cheng Guogong's mansion. I don't want to deal with my family in my life, what Cheng Guogong thinks is destined to be empty.

Renshou Palace

As soon as Cheng Ping'an entered the Renshou Palace, he saw ghostly shadows all over the walls, and he ran out in a panic, but he suppressed the panic in his heart and checked carefully.

He smiled and glanced at Princess Jinyang: "So it turned out to be the case. Haoxuan scared me too, but it was a trick, but now that you have become a grandpa, your little trick is as good as your grandpa's." exposed."
