After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Fang Yin left the princess's mansion with mixed feelings.

Ever since the prince lost his guard, he has taken precautions in all aspects.

But I never thought that there was something wrong with the identity of my previous brother and sister.

He only had one or two fragments of his impression of his sister-in-law Nan Xiaoyun.

At that time, he was still stupid and unpopular, while his brother and sister-in-law always seemed depressed and rarely went out.

He remembered that one time, he was tricked and fell into the river. The water was not deep and he could climb out, but he felt wronged and went home crying to find his third brother.

When I entered my third brother's room, only Nan Xiaoyun and his wife were there.

Seeing that he was in such a miserable state, Nan Xiaoyun gave her eggs to eat. At that time, his sister-in-law was pregnant, and the third brother was always trying to steal eggs from the house to nourish his sister-in-law.

He was stupid and didn't understand these things, so he just ate them when his sister-in-law gave them to him.

Fang Yin felt a little nervous. In fact, after he became smarter, he cherished the people who had given him a little warmth in the past years.

He sighed and rode home.

Main house.

Fang Tong's expression became unusually cautious.

"You said Nan Xiaoyun is Chen Xiang's sister, Chen Zixi?"

Fang Nanzhi sat there in a daze, feeling for a moment that he was hallucinating.

She lost her mother early, so when she was younger, of course she missed her mother and was curious about what her mother was like.

Dad only said that Mom was very kind and gentle, that she looked like a painting sitting there, and that Mom loved her very much...

As she grows older, she gradually realizes that some regrets in life cannot be filled.

It may feel a bit sad when I think about it, but I always have to look forward.

But now, suddenly her mother is not just her mother, she has another identity.

"They've investigated. When my sister-in-law was in exile, a close friend took care of her. They arranged for her to escape from the exile group. But not long after she was released, she was assassinated."

"Many of those who protected her died, leaving only one seriously injured. He helped her escape, and that's how they ended up in Mushan Village by accident."

As he spoke, Fang Tong recalled carefully.

Xinniang came with her "father" that year. The other party was an old man with a big beard. When they met for the first time, he vomited blood.

The old man said it was an old problem, and after staying at his house for two days, he and Xin Niang were able to get together.

At that time, Fang Tong was still thinking about taking Xin Niang out after getting married, living with the old man, and setting up their own family.

But the old man left, saying that he was going to find other relatives. Before leaving, he warned him in various ways not to let Xin Niang down, and that he would come back to see Xin Niang in a few months.

But the old man never came back.

"The last guard, after settling his brother and sister-in-law, deliberately showed up to lure the people chasing them to another city, where he also died."

Fang Yin continued to explain.

No one could have imagined that Nan Xiaoyun would change her name and stay in the countryside.

Nan Xiaoyun was once the most beautiful woman in the capital and was always arrogant.

Because of this belief, the pursuers have lost track of my brother and sister-in-law ever since.

Fang Tong clenched his fists. The old man was in such a hurry to leave. Did he sense the danger?

"Since he led the person away and no one has come looking for her for all these years, how do we know now that Zhizhi is Chen Zixi's daughter?" Qian Fengping asked the key question.

Qin Yan and the other two looked at the little girl's face.

At the banquet, someone mentioned that Zhizhi looked like Chen Zixi.

At that time, it was a hint and temptation.

Qian Fengping also reacted.

"His appearance was the trigger. They also found out that the people who hunted Chen Zixi had been to Huainan Prefecture."

Fang Yin sighed.

"Who is chasing...my mother?" Fang Nanzhi's eyes were slightly red.

"do not know."

Fang Yin shook his head.

Fang Tong's face turned pale. The emperor was the one who orchestrated Chen Xiang's treason.

Could it be the emperor who wants to wipe out the roots?

At this point, Fang Nanzhi also understood. No wonder Princess Yiyang asked her to return to the countryside as soon as possible.

According to blood relationship, Princess Yiyang is her cousin?

Fang Nanzhi's mind was in a mess, and he rubbed his brows: "Second uncle, we can't just listen to what the Third Princess says about this matter. We have to investigate it ourselves."

She pulled out a jade ring tied with a red rope from her neck.

I touched and looked at it carefully, feeling mixed emotions.

"Brother, can you help me draw this?"

"Second uncle, please use the portrait to check, it will be faster."

Qin Yan nodded.

Fang Yin touched his little niece's head.

"After we find out, how about I take Zhizhi back to the village first?"

Qian Fengping looked worried.

Putting aside other things, the emperor had exiled the Chen family back then, so was Zhizhi considered disobeying the emperor's order by staying in the capital?

And the person who killed Nan Xiaoyun back then, if he was the emperor, he would definitely not tolerate Zhizhi now.

Their family cannot afford the emperor's wrath, so it's better for them to run away now.

"Under heaven, all land belongs to the king." Qin Yan said calmly, "Mom, don't panic. If an enemy comes, we will fight him. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth. Besides, Zhizhi's surname is Fang now."

"I don't want to leave." Fang Nanzhi pouted sullenly.

It would have been fine if she didn’t know these things before, but now that she knows about her mother, she doesn’t want to escape.

She is her mother's daughter, and she takes responsibility for everything she should take.

"Alas, the third princess uses this matter to threaten you. Be loyal to her? What are you going to do?" Fang Tong looked at his second brother.

Fang Yin was very calm.

"It's better to get rid of it once and for all than to be controlled by others with a handle on your hand."

After he found out the truth and made preparations, it would be better for him to go directly to the emperor to apologize than to be the lackey of the third princess.

"Okay, we need to find a key point to show our cards. It's best to make a contribution first and then apologize." Fang Tong also felt that he shouldn't be too passive.

Fang Nanzhi didn't listen to the subsequent discussion. He returned to the study alone and sat there in a daze for a long time.

She stepped on a stool and took out a picture album from the top of the bookshelf.

As she grew older, she couldn't remember what her mother looked like. She was afraid that she would forget her mother completely, so she asked her father to find a painter in the county to draw a picture of her mother for her.

The woman in the painting has gentle features, and even though she is wearing coarse linen clothes, it cannot conceal her temperament.

Fang Nanzhi reached out and touched her: "Mom."

So my mother had such a life experience because her family encountered great changes, which made her depressed and she passed away not long after giving birth to her?

She stayed in the study alone for a long time and eventually fell asleep.

In her dream, she saw her mother.

Fang Nanzhi was very surprised. Except for her childhood, she had never dreamed of her mother again.

Chen Zixi was sitting on the kang, his legs covered with thick bedding. He looked haggard and his eyes were filled with sorrow, but he still smiled when he saw her.

"Zhizhi, you've grown up!"

"Mom!" Fang Nanzhi smiled foolishly in his dream, threw himself into his mother's arms, and wanted to act coquettishly, but his hands were cold.

Chen Zixi's figure became more and more illusory, as if he was about to disappear.

But she seemed not to notice, and her face was still kind.

"I'm sorry, Zhizhi. I can't see you grow up."

"It's okay, mother. I'm grown up now. I can be filial to you."

Fang Nanzhi in the dream was very anxious, as if she felt that if she was good enough she could keep her mother.

"Zhizhi, life is very long. We have to experience many ups and downs. Maybe in the end, there will be very little sweetness."

"But Mom hopes that no matter what happens, you will be strong enough inside, just like your dad, and become someone who always seems to be full of energy and hope."

Don't be like a mother.

Once you fall down, you will be immersed in pain and will never get up again.

"I know mother."
