The Prime Minister's delicate wife can control her husband
Chapter 48 The matter is clear
"Brother, why are you here?" asked the shopkeeper Yan Er, clasping his fists.
"I just happened to pass by here and came to see you." Yan Da's eyes kept glancing into the house, "Where is your Li? Why didn't she come out to see me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li appeared holding a baby boy.
"This...this! Who is this?" Yan Qin asked, covering his mouth. The appearance of the child in front of him was too explosive. Yan Qin, who claimed to be the most well-informed in the Yan Mansion, did not get to know this big news first, but let Jiao Niang get to know it instead.
"Brother, please come in." The second shopkeeper Yan asked Yan Da to come in and talk in detail, but Yan Da stood in front of the door, thought for a while and said:
"Let's go home first! I can't make the decision on this matter."
He originally wanted to catch the culprit here and then go home to tell Old Man Yan. However, when he saw Li's baby, he felt a little bit sorry. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if a woman is pregnant, the family has the right to remove the man from the family tree.
“Yes…” Shopkeeper Yan Er was also surprised to hear his eldest brother’s words. He was ready to go back to the house to be punished, but he didn’t expect that Yan Da would let him go home first.
Yan Qin didn't dare to say anything when she heard what her father said. The child in front of her would be her future brother. She then looked at her two current brothers.
"Did the people in the third room already know about this? Or did the people in the first and third rooms just happen to know about it?" Yan Qin immediately started brainstorming.
Yan Sheng, who was in another room, saw this and immediately asked his father to go back to the Yan Mansion to report.
Yan Lang was worried that the people in the second house would plot against Grandpa, so he bypassed everyone and went to Grandpa's room with Jiao Niang. After Jiao Niang felt Grandpa's pulse, she told Yan Lang, "He is fully recovered and his breathing is stable."
Only then did Yan Lang feel relieved about his grandfather's health.
As soon as the Great and Second Shopkeepers Yan and their entourage pushed open the gate of the Yan Mansion, they saw their father sitting in the middle of the yard, and sitting next to him was Yan San.
"father!"
When Manager Yan saw that Old Man Yan looked unhappy, he immediately stepped forward to please his father, but his father ignored him.
"Rebellious son? You haven't told me for so long. Do you want to wait until I die to tell me?" Master Yan asked angrily.
"Dad! I...it's my fault, please punish me! No matter what, please leave this child's name in the family tree." Shopkeeper Yan Er knelt on the ground and cried.
"father!"
Yan San also tried to persuade Old Man Yan, "Dad! Keep this child. After all, he is the blood of our Yan family."
"If you three don't ask for mercy, the child will definitely be naturalized. I want to talk about another thing now."
When Yan Da and Yan Er heard the old man's words, they were surprised that the old man, who valued his reputation, would be so reasonable about this matter.
"Second brother, think about whether you have done anything against the Yan family!" said Old Master Yan.
Yan Er hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and said, "Yes!"
Yan Da and Yan San both stared at him in surprise.
"Tell me what it is and why you do it?" Master Yan looked at his son with disappointment, then turned to look at Yan Sheng.
It was Yan Sheng who told Grandpa Yan about this matter. Yan Sheng originally wanted to investigate it slowly on his own, but plans changed as Yan Sheng had to go to Dawu for a while, so he had to deal with these things quickly.
"Dad! Every year when I manage the account books, I embezzle the money in the account books for my own use."
Hearing his son's self-narration, Master Yan sighed, "Tell me why?"
"I was afraid that after Dad passed away, our second branch would not have a baby boy, so I was cautious when managing the accounts. I put all the money in the pawnshop and I didn't spend a penny." Shopkeeper Yan Er expressed his difficulties.
It turned out that he wanted to deposit the money in the pawnshop so that he could guarantee the living of his family even if Master Yan did not give his second wife a share of the inheritance in the future.
When Old Master Yan heard what he said, he asked, "Second Brother, is that true?"
"Yes, Dad! All my money is in the pawnshop. If you don't believe me, you can take these banknotes to the shop to check." Yan Er took out a handful of banknotes and handed over an account book.
The account book records all his income and expenditure.
"Yes! But I want to ask you something. Do you know the quack doctor you met before?" Master Yan said.
"I don't know him. At that time, I just wanted to cure your illness. You have to believe me, Dad! I have spent all the savings of our second house on your treatment." Yan Er tried his best to explain.
"But I heard from the third brother that when you went out to purchase goods this time, what did you mean by not giving your eldest brother and third brother any? That was a considerable sum of money, a full three thousand taels of gold."
"Dad! I have worked hard in the store to collect three thousand taels of gold. You must believe me!"
Shopkeeper Yan II knelt on the ground, and his wife Li also knelt on the ground to explain: "Dad! You must have him. In order to treat your illness, our second branch has emptied our family's savings. We really don't have that much money."
"My parents had always hoped that after I cured your illness, you would include the child in the family tree for the sake of curing your illness. Who knew that you would find out about this in advance? My husband wanted to confess this matter when he was waiting outside your room, but he didn't expect that the child was lost. We had no choice but to agree to the kitchen maid's request for 1,000 taels of gold. Now we are really trying to raise money."
"Okay, I'll believe you this time!" Master Yan replied casually.
Yan Er and Li Shi didn't realize that their father would agree so readily this time, "Okay, Dad!"
"No, this won't happen again, Old Two! All of you step aside, Old Two and I will have a chat alone!"
"Yes!"
The two entered the main room, and Master Yan said, "Dad, is this the kind of person you see? Do you favor boys over girls? I want to ask you, was it you who lost the date pit on Yan Sheng's wedding day?"
"Dad! If it weren't for me, I wouldn't dare to do these things."
"Okay, how do you know that quack doctor?" With his many years of experience in the world, Master Yan keenly realized that the man's case was not that simple.
"It was that quack doctor who came to me and said he could cure my father's illness. I regretted it a little after hearing the price, but I still gritted my teeth and agreed. At that time, my child was missing, and he even promised to help me find the child!"
"Oh! Did you know that the man is from Dawu?" asked Mr. Yan.
"A man from Dawu?" Yan Er, the shopkeeper, looked puzzled. "Dad! I don't know about that. He said at the time that you should not ask anything other than the treatment, otherwise he would not treat you."
"It seems that you really don't know. I thought you wanted to secretly sell out your country! That's all. You can go down."
After hearing what Old Master Yan said, Shopkeeper Yan II was about to step out of the door when Old Master Yan called him back, "Does the child have a name?"
"Dad! I haven't left yet." Shopkeeper Yan Er replied.
"Let's call him Yan Ping. Together with An'er, it makes the Chinese characters for peace and safety. What do you think?"
"Thank you father for the name!"
After the second shopkeeper Yan left, Master Yan respectfully asked the people in the room, "Is the owner of the building satisfied?"
