After my love-brained mother read my mind, I kicked out my scumbag father and divorced him
Chapter 17: The Son of a Concubine
When mentioning Old Madam Wen, Wen Zehai's face showed a complicated expression, but he calmed down in an instant.
"Yesterday, Qu Xingzhou sent a military doctor to see my mother. He prescribed medicine for her to drink. She is just a little weak now, but she will be fine after a while of rest."
Han nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I knew it. The old lady is not like what the quack doctor said. I feel much better today and can take care of the old lady for my sister."
Wen Zehai cares most about his reputation, especially in front of women.
He didn't want Han to look at their family in a strange way because of this incident.
He was afraid that Han would notice something after she went to take care of the old lady, so he said quickly, "You still have to take care of our Miaoxue, so you can't be distracted. Don't go to the old lady. Take good care of yourself. In a few days, I will take you and Miaoxue back to the capital."
Han nodded repeatedly and asked tentatively: "When we get to the capital, will Miaoxue... follow me or you?"
Wen Zehai sighed.
"If we can't switch Miaoxue this time, there won't be any chance later. Children grow up fast, and the difference will be more obvious. It's impossible to fool them. You take Miaoxue with you first. I can always find a way to let you and Miaoxue return to my mansion openly."
Han knew that things couldn't be rushed, so she had to agree.
……
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
The armies of Qu and Qu Xingzhou arrived in the capital at the same time.
Qu Xingzhou was summoned to the palace immediately, and Qu took Wen Qianqian back to the Hundred Households Mansion.
"Finally I'm home."
Qu looked at the familiar mansion and let out a sigh of relief.
Wen Qianqian proudly asked in her heart -
[How is it? Mother. Baby did what he said and repaired the official road, right? ]
Qu paused and asked in disbelief, "Did you really repair that official road?"
Wen Qianqian pouted.
[Mother, why don't you believe what I say? ]
[In order to repair the official road, the baby used up all his spiritual energy and slept for three days in a row. He has only recovered a little now. ]
[But, hehe, it’s thanks to the fact that there are many men in the village that I can drive them to repair the official road at night.]
Qu's eyes widened in shock.
When she was leaving, she heard the woman who came to see her off say that her husband was suffering from back pain for some reason.
She also joked that if people didn't know, they would think it was her husband who repaired the road.
Could it be that... it was really their husbands who repaired it?
[Mother, you must believe me, otherwise, not only you, but the entire Qu family will be destroyed! ]
The soft and chewy voice sounded very serious.
Qu felt it was cute but also felt uneasy.
The cute thing was naturally her daughter, but she was worried because if what her daughter said was true, then their Qu family...
Qu's grip suddenly tightened.
She paced back and forth in the room for a moment and suddenly made up her mind.
She wants to find out!
Since there is no way to confirm whether everything Qianqian said will come true, she will confirm it herself.
If it wasn't true, that would be the best, but if it was true... she had to make plans for herself, her four children, and the Qu family.
"ginkgo!"
Ginkgo, dressed in green, strode into the house.
"Madam, what can I do for you? Are you hungry? I'll ask the kitchen to..."
"Don't rush to eat yet."
Qu called Ginkgo to come to her side.
Compared to Yin Yue who stayed with the old lady, she trusted the maid she brought as a dowry from her mother's home more.
They have grown up together.
Otherwise, she would not have kept Ginkgo at home to take charge of all the affairs in their courtyard.
She whispered a few instructions and said, "Do as I say, and don't let anyone find out."
Ginkgo was a little surprised after hearing this.
"Why did you suddenly ask me to go to Master Hongshen's room to look for..."
"No need to ask, just go and get it."
"Yes!"
Ginkgo always pointed east and never went west when it came to Qu's words.
She was just too surprised just now and asked beyond the limit.
He came to his senses at this moment and hurried out according to Qu's instructions.
About an hour later, Ginkgo hurried in with a bundle.
"Madam, I'm back."
"close the door."
As soon as the door was closed, Ginkgo unfolded his bag.
There was a thick stack of letters from home inside.
This was exactly what Qu had asked Ginkgo to get from Wen Hongshen's study an hour ago.
Wen Hongshen was Han's eldest son. At the beginning, because the old lady asked her to do so, Qu agreed to let Wen Hongshen come to the capital and go to school with her three sons.
Afterwards, the old lady didn't even ask her, but took it upon herself to let Wen Hongshen live in the Hundred Households Mansion.
She usually took good care of her distant nephew Wen Hongshen and even sent two maids to him.
However, the two girls later tried to seduce Wen Hongshen, so she sold them out.
Now that I think about it carefully, there are actually many strange things at this time.
The two girls were brought up by Ginkgo. They are well-behaved on weekdays and don't seem like the type of people who would do that kind of thing.
Qu did not read the letter immediately, but asked Ginkgo first.
"Did anyone find you?"
Ginkgo shook her head and said, "I waited until my cousin went out, and then I went in to avoid being seen. My cousin is out for an outing, and he also told the kitchen not to leave him dinner, so I guess he won't be back until dark."
Only then did Qu feel relieved and opened the first letter from home.
Wen Hongshen would send a letter back to his hometown every ten days, and now these are all replies from his hometown.
Qianqian said that Wen Hongshen was the illegitimate son of Han and Wen Zehai, so she asked Ginkgo to get Wen Hongshen's letter to verify what Qianqian said.
Her hands trembled slightly as she opened the envelope.
But please... don't let this be true.
Qu took a deep breath and then opened the letter.
As soon as I saw the letter, I could see Han's handwriting.
Han had learned calligraphy from Wen Zehai when she was young, but unfortunately her literary talent and writing skills were limited, and the words she wrote were crooked, but she could recognize them at a glance.
I saw it written in plain language:
"Is Hong Shen okay? Is your father okay? Has Qu Shi noticed anything unusual recently?"
"Son, I don't ask you to be the top scorer in high school, I just want you to be safe and sound."
"The baby in my mother's belly is about to be born. The abbot of Taichang Temple said that she is destined to be the mother of the country, and her value is beyond words."
"Mother will find a way to have your father take us to the capital. I hope we can be reunited soon."
After reading the letter, Qu's legs went weak and she collapsed completely.
Thanks to Ginkgo's quick eyes and hands, she supported Qu and prevented her from falling to the ground.
"Ma'am, are you okay? Ma'am?"
It took Qu a while to come back to her senses. Her face was pale, as if all her strength had been drained away.
Really...
What Qianqian said was actually true.
Wen Hongshen, whom she raised as her own nephew, turned out to be her husband's biological son with his concubine.
And that Han was indeed not just Wen Zehai's cousin.
