Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

The grandfather and grandson controlled their emotions and came out from the inner room. Qin Zhong slowly closed the door again. He needed to temporarily escape from the influence of grief...

If he accidentally said something wrong, it would very likely bring danger to his grandson! That was something he absolutely did not want to see!

But Qin Hao didn't need him to worry at all. The child waited for him to walk to the table and spoke first: "Your Highness, it has just been proven that in terms of blood relationship, the relationship between General Wei Yu and I is grandfather and grandson."

After the basic identity was confirmed, *** immediately grasped the key: "Blood relationship? What about ethics?"

"He has been kicked out of the house by my great-grandfather, and my father was raised by my great-grandfather, so..." Qin Hao seemed helpless and regretful.

*** immediately widened his eyes and looked at Qin Shuangyu!

Qin Zhong showed an embarrassed look on his face and could not help but close his eyes and lower his head. He married the daughter of his enemy... It was normal for his father to disown him!

This is the default meaning. *** looked at the child and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know what the reason is?!"

"The reason is..."

Qin Hao looked at *** with some embarrassment, then whispered: "Let me tell you from the beginning?"

*** saw the child's expression and roughly realized that it was related to him, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he nodded in agreement with a cold face.

"My great-grandfather was a nomadic person in the north."

Qin Hao's words startled Qin Zhong. How could he say that? He immediately looked at Chu Wei anxiously!

And *** was also very surprised! He looked at the nervous Qin Shuangyu!

But then, it dawned on me that Qin Shuangyu's figure was more common among nomadic tribes. Although his face did not show any foreign features, the difference between the people of the Northern Tribe and the Central Plains was not that big. Moreover, there were also people from the two tribes who intermarried, and it was often difficult to tell them apart...

"Is your mother from Central Plains?" *** asked Qin Shuangyu bluntly.

Talking about his parents, Qin Zhong calmed down a lot. He knew that his grandson was smart, and he believed in him... Even if he really told them about their origins, he was willing to take the blame for his grandson no matter what the consequences were.

"My mother is from Sichuan. She was the only one left in her family. She was tricked into going to the southwest. My father and..."

But Qin Hao didn't want any consequences! He immediately said, "My mother is also from the Central Plains, and so is my grandmother."

Qin Zhong paused and said, "Xiaoqin is from the southwest, so she shouldn't be considered from the Central Plains..."

"The southwest is within the territory of Daxia. Now, the Central Plains people refer to the people of Daxia." But *** scolded unhappily.

Turning to look at the child, *** raised his chin and said, "Continue from the previous one."

"About fifty years ago, northern tribe men had almost no place to stand... Many of my great-grandfather's relatives died, and he fled all the way until he escaped to the mountains, where he was able to hide and find a place to live..."

Qin Hao spoke slowly while carefully observing ***'s reaction, as if he was worried that she might harbor hostility.

"There were other families hiding from famine in the mountains, and they gathered together to form a small village. My great-grandparents and my grandfather, who was born later, all lived in Dongshan Village for many years."

"But after more than 20 years, the outside world seemed to have become peaceful, and people in Dongshan Village gradually began to yearn for the outside world, so they opened a small mountain road and began to contact the outside world."

Qin Hao looked at his grandfather and said confidently, "Grandpa also began to yearn for the outside world from then on. He felt that he didn't look like the Northerners, so it wouldn't be a big deal if he went out to explore the world... But my great-grandfather disagreed. He was worried that Grandpa's identity would be exposed if he went out, and that if he wasn't careful, it would bring disaster to the whole family."

Qin Zhong paused. This was the opposite of why he came out... It was obviously his father who wanted him to come out...

However, he knew that his grandson had his own ideas, so he lowered his head silently so as not to reveal anything on his expression.

"At first, my great-grandfather saw that my grandfather was restless, so he arranged for him to get married and start a family. With the responsibility in his hands, my grandfather did settle down a lot..."

"But then, my grandmother died while giving birth. As my father grew older and no longer needed constant care, my grandfather started thinking about going out and exploring the world again."

"The great grandfather saw that he couldn't stop it, and since my father already had an heir, he made a rule for my grandfather, asking him not to expose the existence of Dongshan Village and them when he was outside. He didn't ask for wealth and glory at home, but only asked that nothing should implicate the family."

"So Grandpa changed his name and went out. Soon he found that the best way to make a career was to join the army... Grandpa used to send letters and money home every month, but one day, Grandpa wrote a letter saying..."

Qin Hao looked at *** cautiously again and muttered in a low voice: "Great-grandfather is very, very angry. First, the only thing he asked was that grandpa keep his feet on the ground, so as not to get in the spotlight and bring harm to the family. But grandpa is involved with you... Isn't that putting him at the center of the storm?"

"Secondly... many of my great-grandfather's relatives and friends died in the escape... and this is..." Qin Hao's voice became lower and lower, and he swallowed the last words.

And *** narrowed her eyes slightly, stared at Qin Shuangyu coldly, and continued calmly: "It was the decision made by the Great Xia Ancestor to hunt down the Northern Clan! Your great-grandfather hated the Chu family to the core because of the death of his relatives and friends, and I am the daughter of the enemy!"

"So your great-grandfather was so angry that he kicked your grandfather out of the house and refused to acknowledge him as his biological son!"

Qin Zhong lowered his head. What his grandson said was almost correct, except for some unconfirmed details that were inconsistent with the facts. He also avoided the issue of being a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty.

In Chu Wei's eyes, Qin Shuangyu felt ashamed...

*** looked calm, she knew Da Xia's history very well. What the child said made sense and was consistent with the background of the period, so it should be true.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, it is natural to wantonly kill the foreigners of the previous dynasty! At least this is the attitude on the surface!

It is not only to eliminate the henchmen of the previous dynasty, but also to raise the heads of the Central Plains people who have been oppressed for nearly a hundred years! To establish the spirit and self-esteem of the people of this race!

However, in a land where men fight and rule, attitudes towards men and women are completely different.

The men from the northern tribes would be hunted down and killed, but as for the women, as long as they did not resist too strongly and were willing to marry into a family from the Central Plains, they would be accepted.

In other words, there were many families in Daxia who intermarried with women from the northern tribes. If it could be confirmed that their paternal clan was from the Central Plains, then men with facial features of foreign tribes could be allowed to remain.

Of course, during the first ten years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, men with foreign characteristics were not allowed to join the army or become government officials.

But twenty years have passed, and especially after Chu Wei's father succeeded to the throne, he neglected state affairs, and the people below relaxed their precautions. So it is not surprising that the people who recruited soldiers at that time did not carefully check Qin Shuangyu's family background.

In addition, many children born to women from the northern tribes are relatively strong when they grow up, so it is not uncommon for the two tribes to intermarry with those who do not have obvious facial features of the foreign tribe in the military.

Qin Shuangyu's idea was right. How could he tell which of his father and mother was from another race just by looking at the child? So he didn't need to worry too much about going out to make a living.

*** couldn't help but think of what Liu Rusi said to Qin Zhen, that women can also inherit bloodlines. Indeed, many examples of intermarriage between the two ethnic groups are proof of this.

But Qin Shuangyu's father's worries were also correct! If Chu Tianming found out that Qin Shuangyu's father was a foreigner, he would definitely not be lenient! He would not let him control 100,000 troops!

If she had known Qin Shuangyu's background before she had children, she would probably...

But now, the situation has changed and these backgrounds are no longer important.

"Your great-grandfather has passed away now, right?" *** asked Qin Hao.

Qin Hao nodded and replied: "My great-grandfather has passed away for twelve years. This is what my father told me."

"Do you hate the Chu family?" *** asked again.

Qin Hao shook his head and said, "My mother said that if we want to settle accounts, there are so many accounts in this world that we can't settle them all. If we want to hate, we should start from ourselves and decide whether to hate certain specific people. If we carry the hatred of our predecessors and smear everyone with one stick, such a life will be too heavy to bear."

Sighing secretly, Liu Shi was indeed a unique thinker. *** narrowed her eyes slightly and asked in a threatening tone, "So what tribe do you think you are from?"

"According to nationality, I am a native of Daxia. According to bloodline, I have one-eighth of northern ethnic bloodline and seven-eighths of Central Plains bloodline. To round it off, I am a Central Plains Han Chinese."

*** raised his eyebrows slightly, rational and unique, and he followed his mother's understanding that women would inherit her bloodline.

Qin Hao then added: "From a cultural perspective, I can speak the official language of Daxia and the local dialect of the southwest, but I cannot speak or write Mongolian. The books I read are all works by the ancient sages of the Central Plains people. I am a Central Plains person in my mind."

Chu Wei nodded imperceptibly, looked at her husband who was still looking down, and asked softly, "What was your original name?"

But Qin Hao still answered out of habit: "Qin Zhong, the important thing is the important thing."
