Chapter 108 The truth twists and turns
(third update)
Rong Xichang was so frightened that he asked the accountant to bring over the account book, count the property in each person's hands, and asked them to hand it over.
People who originally wanted to hide their secrets went back to their rooms and took out their things.
It was Rong Hai's wife who made the decision to take out Rong Hai's share.
Rong Xichang looked at those things and then said complimentarily: "Two adults, these properties have always been taken care of by Lao Shen. Lao Shen took back these properties and trained his direct descendants in the future, and then passed them on to them.
feasible?"
Magistrate Zhang looked at Rong Hai's pleading eyes and felt that he was really pitiful. Just when he was about to nod, a voice suddenly sounded.
"My lord, my lord!"
Everyone turned around and saw Rong Mei appearing at the door with an old doctor, panting.
Rong Mei knelt down with a puff: "Sir, these properties cannot be handed over to Rong Xuan."
Magistrate Zhang was extremely annoyed, but he still frowned and said, "Oh, who are you? What's the point of not being able to hand it over to Rong Xuan?"
Rong Mei raised her head: "The woman is the daughter of Rong Xichang, the eldest daughter of Rong's family, and the biological aunt of Rong Xuan. I just found out today that Rong Xuan is not my fourth brother's biological son."
Boom! Everyone looked at Rong Xuan with incredible eyes.
None of them expected that Rong Mei would say such a thing.
How could Rong Xuan not be Rong Shan’s eldest son?
The expressions on the faces of the eldest princess and Lin Xi in the crowd also changed, and the shock on their faces was no less than that of the others.
Although they have already made speculations, when they really want to know the truth, how could they be less excited than others.
The eldest princess held Lin Xi's arm and stared at Rong Mei with her eyes exposed through the veil, waiting for her to continue.
Nalanjing frowned, glanced at Rong Xuan, and saw that his brows were as still as a mountain, so he didn't rush to say anything.
Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Rong Mei said sternly: "This matter started from twenty years ago. At that time, the woman remembered that it was the end of October, and the fourth brother came back from Shangjing to pick up the four younger siblings and returned to Shangjing to take up his post. But just now
After leaving Youzhou, Rong Xuan, who was only more than three months old, unfortunately contracted smallpox and had to return to Fucheng for treatment. It happened that a civilian woman and her husband were in Fucheng for medical treatment... Later, Rong Xuan returned to Youzhou eight years later.
The peasant woman was still surprised at that time, how could her child survive after contracting smallpox?"
"It was also by chance that the woman met Dr. Wu again, who was seeing a doctor in Fucheng at that time, and praised him for his superb medical skills. He could even cure smallpox, which was really rare in the world. However, Doctor Wu was very confused, and the woman talked to him again.
Mentioning that the fourth brother and his wife brought their child to see smallpox twenty years ago, Dr. Wu said that the child died at that time. How could he survive when he looked at him dying?"
Rong Mei looked at Old Doctor Wu aside and motioned for him to speak.
Dr. Wu knelt down quickly and spoke: "What this lady said is true. After a few days of high fever, the child's condition worsened and he died. The couple was even more distraught and almost cried while holding the child.
After death, I will never remember it wrongly."
"I still remember that the child had a large black birthmark on the back of his hand."
Rong Mei then spoke: "The civilian woman also clearly remembered that the fourth brother's eldest son had a large black birthmark on the back of his hand since he was born. But when we met Rong Xuan again, eight years later, the black birthmark had also disappeared.
.”
Hearing this, Rong Xichang's eyes suddenly lit up and he knelt down quickly: "Sir, since Rong Xuan is not a descendant of the Rong family, I will immediately remove him from the family tree. Yu'er and the others are still young and have no ability to manage these industries. These industries will first be taken care of by
Just keep it."
Everyone's gazes on Rong Xuan changed, with a bit of disgust. Fortunately, his wife still wanted the Rong family's property. It turned out that she was not a descendant of the Rong family. Her motive was simply wolfish ambition, which was outrageous.
Everyone was talking and pointing.
Rong Yu and Rong Qian's faces were a little pale. It was not that they suspected that their eldest brother was not his biological brother, but that they hated the verbal humiliation they had given Rong Xuan.
Nalanjing and Rong Xuan were extremely calm. It was simply ridiculous that an old doctor and Rong Mei wanted to make a big fuss about Rong Xuan's identity based on the words of an old doctor and Rong Mei.
Hua Shengyan gave the child to Rong Xuan, knelt down heavily next to Rong Xichang, and said in a gentle voice: "Sir, Rong Xuan is the eldest son of the Rong family, I can testify to this!"
Magistrate Zhang motioned for her to continue.
Watson Yan's gentle voice sounded: "Xuan'er did have a black birthmark on the back of his hand when he was a child, but that was not a birthmark, it was poison!"
Everyone stared in shock, since someone poisoned a child who was only a few months old?
Magistrate Zhang also looked surprised.
Hua Shengyan looked serious and kind: "I didn't know it was toxin until later. The toxin broke out when my son and his daughter-in-law were preparing to go to Beijing. He was mistaken for smallpox. He was indeed dying at that time. My son couldn't bear it.
, holding the child in his arms, he sought medical treatment everywhere. Finally, an old doctor saw the black birthmark on the back of his hand and concluded that it was poisoning, so he was able to detoxify."
Rong Mei looked at Old Doctor Wu eagerly: "Doctor Wu, didn't you say that the child died at that time?"
Dr. Wu, who had just sworn to be honest, now believed Hua Shengyan's words, and for a moment he also doubted whether the original diagnosis was wrong.
He sweated coldly and said, "I...I didn't look carefully either."
What else could Magistrate Zhang say? He slapped the table: "That's enough, don't bother the court anymore, or I'll slap you."
When he heard that the doctor was about to hit the board, Dr. Wu quickly got up, took the medicine box and ran away.
Lin Xi backed away from the crowd and chased out quietly.
Hua Shengyan stood up and took the account book from their hands first. He couldn't take it over, but Rong Yu and Rong Qian had the foresight to reach out and take it over.
Hua Shengyan knelt down holding some of the account books: "The common woman thanks the two adults for upholding justice. When these properties are in the hands of the common women, the common women will not take them all, but will share some of them with the concubine's daughter, so that the old man and Sister Shi can enjoy their old age in peace."
.”
Magistrate Zhang: "..."
Watson Yan had already talked about this, so what reason did he have for not handing over the property to his direct descendants? Since ancient times, women from concubine houses have to separate from the master's family when they reach adulthood. It is reasonable and reasonable.
Rong Yuji's face turned red.
Rong Xichang was so angry that his legs were shaking, as if he would fall down at any time and die.
Rong Mei was also very angry. She had no idea that her appearance just now disrupted the good plan of her father and younger brother.
Nalanjing emptied the accounting room before Magistrate Zhang and Wang Zhaoyi, and left the Rong family in a grand manner.
She was not afraid at all that they would not give up her properties. Even if those properties were not for business, just the land deeds, houses and shops in her hands were worth a lot of money.
She wants the account books to settle her business transactions. Those who can be taken over will be taken over, and those who can't be taken over will be cleared out directly. As for the losses, there are so many people living in such a big house in Rong Mansion. Who else to look for if not them?
