Chapter 140 Times have changed, foster father(1/2)
Outside Chunmian Building, the second floor of the house.
Ying Zheng and Zhao Kun sat opposite each other, and Li Si stood outside the door.
Unlike what he imagined, Zhao Kun and Ying Zheng did not let him get involved at all.
So his plan to know oneself and enemy was failed.
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si outside the door with some amusement, raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you seem to have any objections to Lao Li?"
"Huh~"
Zhao Kun blew the tea stems in the tea cup and said lightly: "I told my adoptive father before that he is not a good person."
"hehe."
Ying Zheng smiled without comment, and then said, "Then why are you looking for me today?"
“Huh~”
Zhao Kun said lightly, tilted his head and said, "Why didn't your adoptive father ask me where I have been these days?"
Where else can I go?
I'll put you in jail myself!
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes in his heart and hesitated: "Uh..., the adoptive father has not been in Pinyang in the past few days. I wonder what happened to you!"
"Oh?" Zhao Kun was a little curious: "Where has the adoptive father been?"
Ying Zheng thought about it and lied without changing his expression: "The riots on the street of Pinyang a few days ago. Prime Minister Li suspected that it was the remnants of the six kingdoms, so he specially asked his father to investigate..."
As he said that, he asked pretending to be ignorant: "Why, my son doesn't know about this?"
"How could I not know..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It was because of this that I was imprisoned by the First Emperor!"
"ah--"
Ying Zheng was surprised: "Why does the First Emperor have to do with me?"
"Of course someone reported that I colluded with the remnants of the six countries!"
"absurd!"
When Ying Zheng heard this, he said angrily: "How could my son collude with the remnants of the six kingdoms!"
"Entertainment Father..."
Zhao Kun's body trembled and tears were almost flowing out.
It’s still my adoptive father who is kind to me!
In the world, only the adoptive father believes in me!
Seeing Zhao Kun looking at him with tears in his eyes, Ying Zheng twitched slightly and quickly comforted him: "Don't be sad, my son, my adoptive father will definitely punish the slandered person for you."
"Need not……"
Zhao Kun sniffed and waved his hand, "The child will punish him if he slanders his child, and the adoptive father doesn't need to worry."
"Then my son today..."
Before Ying Zheng finished speaking, he heard Zhao Kun ask in a deep voice: "I came today to ask my adoptive father, how did my mother die?"
"Um?"
Ying Zheng was stunned: "Why did my son ask about this?"
"I just discovered some strange things and wanted to confirm my conjecture."
"Strange?"
Ying Zheng's face darkened and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"Don't be excited!"
Zhao Kun raised his hand to signal Ying Zheng to calm down, and then asked back: "What's wrong with it? I can't tell you, foster father, just tell me, how did my mother die, right?"
Ying Zheng frowned, stared at Zhao Kun for a while, and finally sighed, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your mother committed suicide."
really!
It's true that I know the same as I do!
Zhao Kun thought this in his heart and asked again: "What is the reason for committing suicide?"
"Because of the adoptive father..."
Ying Zheng shook his head and sighed, "It's all for his father's fault. For his father, he shouldn't put too much pressure on her to make her go astray..."
"Um?"
What's the situation? This is?
The adoptive father blamed himself for his mother's death, so why didn't he mention the First Emperor at all?
This shouldn't be!
If it was his fault, why did he fight against Qin? Could it be that there is any misunderstanding?
Thinking of this, Zhao Kun couldn't help but frown and continued to ask: "Before my mother died, will the adoptive father be by her side?"
Ying Zheng was stunned and shook his head immediately.
"When I heard the news, your mother was dead."
"Since that's the case, why did the adoptive father say that he harmed my mother? Could it be that you had an argument before this? Or maybe the adoptive father beat my mother?"
Facing Zhao Kun's soul questions, Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, then blushed and scolded: "How can you think of being a father like this? How can you let your mother be so defiled!"
Facing Ying Zheng's reprimand, Zhao Kun shrank slightly, and then said embarrassedly: "Don't be angry with your adoptive father, I'm just curious, why don't you mention the First Emperor..."
"Well……"
Ying Zheng was silent.
I thought this brat was going to have a random thought again!
However, Zhao Kun still felt very relieved when he mentioned Li Jiang.
After all, Li Jiang has been away for more than ten years, and few people remember her inside and outside the palace.
If others can forget, how can her son forget?
After pondering for a moment, Ying Zheng shook his head and replied, "He failed Ali, so I don't want to mention him."
"I see……"
Zhao Kun nodded suddenly.
In fact, he can understand the mentality of adoptive father. Who would like to raise his rival in front of his son?
What's more, this rival is the First Emperor.
Seeing Zhao Kun with a "I understand" expression on his face, Ying Zheng really wanted to reach out and slap him, and cursed casually: "You know a hammer!"
However, as a senior adoptive father, he controlled his emotions very reasonably, and then asked curiously: "My son is suspicious of your mother's death, what other hidden information?"
"good!"
Zhao Kun nodded without thinking and said, "Since my mother was not around when she died, what caused her suicide was a problem."
Ying Zheng frowned and couldn't help but say, "But as far as your adoptive father knows, your mother has never made any grudges with anyone on weekdays. If it weren't for suicide, it would be impossible for him to kill..."
"I didn't say that my mother was killed by him, but I just felt that the cause of her death was strange, especially suicide, which requires great courage!"
Zhao Kun pondered: "My mother committed suicide. Even if she had something to do with her adoptive father, I don't think it was the main reason. After all, my mother already had me at that time. No matter how much grievance was, she wouldn't be able to abandon her child easily!"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's face changed slightly because he also realized the problem.
Although Li Jiang loves him, he loves his children even more.
Thinking of something that happened on the night of the incident, Ying Zheng frowned and said, "Can someone maliciously instigate him? Or did he convey some news that made your mother blame himself?"
Hearing this, Zhao Kun's eyes narrowed and he hurriedly asked: "What do you know about your adoptive father? Tell me quickly."
"Being a father is just a guess!"
Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "A bad thing happened before your mother died."
"What a bad thing?"
"The First Emperor had a big fight with Fusu because of political affairs."
Zhao Kun was surprised: "My elder brother is actually related to my mother's death?"
"Won't!"
Ying Zheng said firmly: "Fusu treats your mother as respected as his biological mother. He will not do such a traitor!"
"I don't think so!"
Zhao Kun nodded in agreement: "Brother is very nice to me, I believe him."
