In the main hall of Anping Marquis Mansion.

Ning Nanfeng sat at the top, with an old woman sitting below and a man about eighteen or nineteen years old sitting next to her.

Ning Nanfeng had originally returned to Liu County. He came back recently to pack up all the things in the bandit's lair and transport them all back. This time he could only stay for a few days before leaving.

Sitting opposite the old woman was Ning Nanfeng's wife, Mrs. Huo, and behind her stood Ning Jiaoer.

"The last time I saw Aunt was when Nanfeng and I got married. It has been many years since I last saw Aunt. I wonder if Aunt is still in good health?"

The one who was speaking was Mrs. Huo. The old woman was the old marquis's younger sister, Ning Leping. Mrs. Ning was indeed old, with wrinkles all over her face. Ning Nanfeng and his wife knew that this aunt had not had an easy time in her husband's family over the years.

"Well, it's OK. I came here for no other reason than to bring him here."

As he spoke, the man sitting next to her stood up and bowed to Ning Nanfeng and Huo.

"Brother, hello sister-in-law!"

Mrs. Huo looked at the young man and thought that he was probably the child of her aunt's concubine.

"Okay, sit down, don't be so restrained."

This was said by Ning Nanfeng. He thought differently from his wife. He vaguely felt that the person his aunt brought was not a cousin or something like that.

“Is this my cousin?”

Huo asked.

Ning picked up the teacup on the tea table, took a sip of tea, put the cup down and spoke slowly.

"He is Feng'er's half brother, your father's son from another woman! His name is Ning Weian."

This sentence really shocked Ning Nanfeng's family.

However, one thing is true, that is, the old marquis did sleep with a maid when he was drunk. Ning Nanfeng was already in his teens at that time, and he remembered it.

When her mother found out about this, her already poor health became even worse. Later, she did hear that the maid was pregnant.

He still remembered that his father had promised by his mother's bedside that he would take care of the matter, and his father did give the maid an abortion drug. Ning Nanfeng was a little confused. His father said that he would handle it personally. Could it be that he was soft-hearted and kept the child?

"this……"

Before Ning Nanfeng finished speaking, Ning seemed to know what he wanted to say and immediately took over.

"That maid gave birth to the child. My brother was soft-hearted at the time and let her give birth to the child. As you know, my husband and I don't have a son, so he was given to us to raise. He has called me mother for so many years, but he is still my brother's son after all."

"Why is Aunt coming this time?"

Ning Nanfeng really didn't understand. He had adopted the child for so many years, so what did it mean by suddenly sending him here?

"Your uncle was a playboy by nature, and he had affairs with other women outside. It's a pity that all those women gave birth to daughters for him.

Now, he has another darling. The girl is only sixteen years old and is very beautiful. Originally, she was An'er's fiancée, but somehow the girl got involved with the old man and almost married An'er with the old man's child.

It's really embarrassing and terrible to talk about this matter. If such a thing really happened, should the child call the old man dad or grandpa?

Scandals like this one involving a father-in-law and his future daughter-in-law are so ugly that they can't be uglier. It's just outrageous.

Mrs. Huo covered her mouth with a handkerchief. She was shocked that her aunt would actually expose such a thing directly.

"You don't have to be so shocked. Over the years, the old man has done so many shameful things. If it weren't for my daughter's reputation and An'er's young age, I would have simply stopped living. Why would I always cover up for him?"

As she spoke, Ning took out a handkerchief and began to wipe her tears. She was indeed aggrieved. She felt that the days she had lived over the years were as long as several lifetimes.

"After that, ah~ the girl actually gave birth to a son. After the son was born, the old man started to find fault with An'er and disliked him in various ways.

At the beginning, he promised me to adopt An'er as my son, and I also promised that An'er would not inherit anything from him. As long as he has a son, I am willing to register him under my name as the legitimate son.

When the old man was fifty years old, he still had no son, so he took the initiative to find me and said that he was willing to let An'er be his real son, but the prerequisite was that if he still had no son when he died, he needed An'er to see him off to the end of his life. I agreed.

Now that the old man has a son, he treats An'er like a thorn in his side, I can't stand it. Besides, my daughter has already married, her in-laws are nice, and my son-in-law assured me that he would not care about his wife's family affairs.

Don't laugh at me for being so old and still in such a mess. I have thought about it for a long time. That family doesn't need to maintain superficial decency anymore, so I brought An'er to Cangzhou City.

Feng'er, An'er is your younger brother. I think she can be included in the family tree. It would be fine if you could give him the status of a bastard's son.

Didn't your father have a concubine before? That woman was my mother, your grandmother who arranged for him to serve. She was very loyal and knew that your father liked your mother, so she didn't dare to ask for a status. She never had a child in her life and died early. Your mother also said that she was indeed a good woman, so let your father raise her as a concubine. Can you register An'er under her name? "

Ning Nanfeng looked at the man named Ning Weian. He lowered his head and didn't say anything.

"Feng'er, I just want An'er to be able to recognize his ancestors and return to his roots. Didn't your father leave him behind back then? So, just pity your brother and let him come back.

We don't have any requests. He will take part in the Spring Examination next year. He is good at studying and can rely on himself. We don't even need to live in the Marquis' Mansion. Your aunt has a place to live in Cangzhou. You know, your grandfather once gave your aunt a house in Cangzhou as a dowry. Feng'er, please pity us and let your brother go home, okay? "

"What are you talking about, aunt? You have come all the way here, how can I ask you to live outside? Just stay in the mansion without worry, Ya'er will take good care of you at home.

As for me, I have to go back to Liu County soon. The emperor asked me to stay in Liu County for another year, so I will leave in a few days.

Entering the family tree is a big deal, I will discuss this matter with the elders when I come back and choose a good day to write Wei'an in.

I know it takes a long time, but I really can't come back at any time to deal with this matter. I hope my aunt can understand.

As for Wei'an's participation in the Spring Examination next year, I will go and ask tomorrow if he can go to Baitong Academy to study for a while. If he doesn't want to go to the academy, he can study at home. I will find a teacher for him then."
