Chapter 8 The little monk will go there in person today (2)
Regarding the incident between his concubine Chong Minsun and his legitimate son, Wang Qinghong was slightly disappointed, but also vaguely relieved.
After all, he is a scholar-official, and he still values his concubine in his heart. Not only has he loved Sanlang, his legitimate son, for many years, but he also taught him personally. If he was compared to the concubine who lived in the mountains, he would not feel comfortable.
People's hearts have always been biased since ancient times. There is no way that a concubine who has only met once can have the same weight as a legitimate son who has been looking after him for more than ten years.
How would any other eleven-year-old child be aware of his mental journey?
After all, Dao Chi was not an eleven-year-old child. He noticed that Wang Qinghong's reaction was really angry and funny, but he was too lazy to pay attention to it. The reason why he returned to the Wang family was not to express family ties, but to use his identity as a child of the Wang family.
Establish the world.
With father and son having different thoughts, the carriage finally entered the city.
The twelve-bedroom house was in the northwest of the city, and the clan house was in the north. Therefore, when they reached the intersection, Wang Zhen urged her horse to come over and say goodbye to Wang Qinghong.
After crossing the intersection and walking for half a cup of tea, the carriage stopped for a moment.
"The master is back..."
"It's Master..."
Outside there was the sound of servants taking care of things.
Wang Qinghong gave a few instructions through the curtain, and the carriage was driven through the gate.
When he was about to get off the bus, Wang Qinghong's realization slipped across the Taoist's bald head and monk's robe, and his eyes became a little gloomier.
Although he was grateful to the great master of Xishan Temple, he could not help but also complain a little. What is this? His body, hair and skin were favored by his parents. Even though he lived in the mountain temple, Shiro was still the young master of the Wang family. He was not really a young man.
Novice monk, why do you want to lose your hair?
Now that he is brought back like this, he will have to say something to cover it up.
The Taoist idiot still looked down and stood aside honestly.
Li Zhong, the old housekeeper of the Wang family, had already stepped forward to greet him. He looked at the Taoist idiot with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
It was not until the day after my master returned to his hometown that he sent someone to pick up the fourth young master. Only then did he realize that not only was his fourth young master not at the village, but the wet nurse and her family who were serving him at the time were also missing.
At first, I thought there was something wrong with the fourth young master, and the wet nurse ran away because she was afraid of being blamed by the master. After asking other people on the farm, I found out that the fourth young master was taken away by the old patriarch, and the wet nurse also left within two days, saying that she was going with her.
Waiting on the fourth young master.
When we went to the patriarch's house, what was still unclear? The master's family was not here, and a silly young master would naturally neglect him if he could. As for the wet nurse, he went to serve him, which was obviously a lie. It was just a matter of neglecting the young master, and he was afraid of being punished.
, ran away secretly.
The patriarch only said that he would foster the child elsewhere so that his father could calm down for a while, and that the father and son would be able to meet each other in a few days.
Others may not have much impression of the Fourth Young Master, but Li Zhong has seen him before.
He couldn't raise his head for three months, couldn't roll over for half a year, and was almost one year old, but still didn't respond to the sound of greetings. Doctors, Taoist priests, and monks all quietly came to see him, and they came to the only conclusion that he had an incomplete soul and was born stupid.
At that time, Li Zhong thought that his old lady would make a decision and let the fourth young master "die". Even if he was his biological grandson by his biological niece, a stupid son would not be good to the master's reputation.
Unexpectedly, the old lady was soft-hearted after all. She just decided not to take the fourth young master with her and ordered someone to send the wet nurse and the fourth young master to the village.
The handsome little monk in front of me is the foolish fourth young master who could only lie down when he was about one year old? Looking at the look between his eyebrows, there is indeed a shadow of the young master in his youth.
At this time, I heard Wang Qinghong's instructions: "Go to Sanlang's place to find two pairs of clothes. Let Shiro change into them first. I will take Shiro to see the old lady later."
Hearing this, Li Zhong hesitated and said, "Sir, the fourth young master and the third young master are of different statures. Are you afraid that the clothes will not fit you?"
Wang Qinghong glanced at Dao Chi. Not only was he much taller than San Lang, he was also much stronger. He thought for a moment and said, "Go to the warehouse and find a set of my old clothes for Shi Lang to put on first."
After arranging this, he asked Dao Chi again: "Silang will go with the housekeeper to change clothes first, and then follow me to pay my respects to the old lady later."
The Taoist idiot responded honestly, and Wang Qinghong turned around and entered the inner courtyard.
Li Zhong hesitated for a moment, then led the Taoist idiot to sit in a side hall, and finally went to order someone to open the warehouse to look for clothes.
The twelve houses did not have many heirs. The old man died of illness at a young age, leaving only the old man with a son. The old man also had only the old man.
Naturally, the old lady was in pain as if it was an eyeball. It was because the old man left his hometown when he was young and was not with the old lady all the year round. The old lady carefully preserved all her son's old things, and she also meant to miss him after seeing things.
Therefore, there are still Wang Qinghong’s old clothes in the warehouse...

In the main room of the inner courtyard, Mrs. Wang Yang looked at her husband with tears in her eyes, her face full of disbelief: "What do you mean by this? Am I still lying?"
Wang Qinghong snorted coldly: "I don't know how a baby under one year old can be seen to be smart or dull? Is he born stupid? I, Wang Qinghong, think that I am worthy of the king's parents and worthy of the children of the people. I have not deceived my heart or acted immorally.
, how can retribution be passed on to the children? Or do you think that when my filial piety period expired, I accepted the old lady’s request and took in my cousin Guifang for the sake of my heirs. I’m sorry for you, my legitimate wife, and I should be punished for it?”
These words were spoken without any emotion, and the resentment in them must have accumulated over time.
Wang Yang felt exhausted both physically and mentally. She was too lazy to defend herself. She held back her anger and said, "Even if I want to accuse me, I have to think about my eldest sister, Sanlang and Wulang. Do you have to prove that I have a bad heart?"
, only if I ruin my reputation will I be satisfied?"
Wang Qinghong was blocked and speechless, but he knew in his heart that his wife was right.
Even if what happened back then was Wang Yang's fault, for the sake of his legitimate sons and daughters, he not only couldn't expose the matter, but also had to find a way to make it right.
Wang Qinghong became more and more depressed, and his expression when he looked at his wife became even more unkind. Although the patriarch didn't say anything, his expression clearly blamed him for being restrained by the woman. Even the old monk in Xishan Temple didn't even look at him.
The contempt must also be for this reason.
Not only did his wife not feel the slightest bit ashamed, but she showed a shrewish face of "What can you do to me?", which made him very angry and disappointed.
He stood up and said in a cold voice: "Since you cherish your reputation, you should know your limits. If you can't tolerate others anymore, it's not like my Wang family has no wives!" After that, he threw up his sleeves and left.
Wang Yang was so angry that she slumped down in her chair and felt her eyes turning black.
Whether it was the mother-in-law who made the decision to seek medical advice or the decision to send Shiro to Zhuangzi in the end, what did she do?
Back then, my mother-in-law protected the child very closely. Not only did she have someone carry her into her room as soon as she landed, but she also took great precautions against her, the aunt's mother.
She saw her twice, and each time she covered her head tightly and immediately asked someone to hug her, for fear that her aunt would hurt someone if she looked at her twice. She was so angry at the time that her husband was in office and she couldn't even see her.
There is no one who can express his grievances.
Then, when it came out that Shiro was "born stupid," she felt gloating about his misfortune, but it was not without guilt.
Even if she didn't do anything, she was still afraid that others would suspect her. Therefore, she became more and more avoidant about matters related to Shiro, letting her mother-in-law make the decision, for fear of involving herself.
Unexpectedly, ten years later, not only had the sewage not escaped, but her husband would personally come to "condemn" her.
She was so sad and angry just now that she didn't want to defend herself, but after her husband left, she felt that something was wrong. This crime was not something she could accept out of spite. She was not a black-hearted person, so why did she choose to be a "toxic woman" for herself?
hat of?
At her age, she can no longer expect her husband to love her, but how innocent are her children? If her husband really disgusts her and affects her children, then she really has no place to cry.
After all, her husband's children are now not only Sanlang and Wulang, but also Shilang who has just returned home.
It was this Shiro who was making the house uneasy. She wanted to see what kind of person he was with three heads and six arms.
Mrs. Wang Yang felt resentful in her heart, so she raised her voice and called the maid to bring in some water, fixed her makeup, and went to the backyard with her hand in her hand...
