Chapter 1240 Shocking News

Seeing his master's wife so happy, Han Xing became even more excited. He took Qin Chuchu's hand and sat on the sofa, and began to talk about what had happened in the past few days.

He wanted to tell his master's wife everything that had happened during this period without missing a word, but it made Qin Chuchu suffer.

Not only do you have to listen carefully, but you also have to pretend to be excited and surprised.

The next day, he fulfilled his promise and held another large barbecue in the yard.

As for the prey, it must have been created in space.

Not only did the little guy's mouth get greasy from eating so much, but Feng Yi and the others also took advantage of the food and had round bellies.

The days that followed were peaceful. Everyone was doing their job, and only Xu Zhe was the busiest.

Although we don't have to rush to build cars now, we still have to work in two tight shifts, making cages day and night.

Experiments have shown that fish farming in cages is very reliable, so Qin Chuchu plans to expand the breeding area.

Seeing that it would be used in more than a month, Xu Zhe and Feng Er were busy all the time.

Everything was going on in a tense and orderly manner, but on the other side, in the capital, Han Mulei was having a hard time.

Tuoba Yu suffered a crushing defeat. Not only did he lose tens of thousands of soldiers, he also lost the 200,000 dan of grain donated by the Chuxiong State.

Not only did the Chuxiong Kingdom not gain any benefits, but it also lost so much food. How could Wanyan Lie let it go?

He must find the middleman Han Mulei to settle the score. In order to appease Wanyan Lie, Han Mulei's only way is to solve the problem with money.

But in recent years, the family’s savings have been exhausted, so where can we get so much money to pay compensation?

So in the following days, he began to sell a large amount of private property.

Restaurants, pharmacies, inns, villas, anything that can be exchanged for silver is sold.

Even the queen gave out all her own money, although it could not repay the loss of hundreds of thousands of dan of grain.

But he also knew that they had reached the end of their rope, and thinking that Han Mulei would be useful in the future, Wanyan Lie gave up.

When Han Muchen learned the news, he was also very angry.

Han Mulei was even capable of such treasonous acts, but due to the lack of substantial evidence, we could only let him go for the time being.

Time flies, and it is March, the season when all things come back to life.

Not only did the defensive city walls begin to be built, but the roads leading to the capital also began to be built.

Xu Zhe has made a thousand cages.

Today is the day to install the fish cages in Beihe River. Early in the morning, Qin Chuchu followed the man to watch the fun.

But before I even left the house, I received a letter.

When he saw Xiaoshan's name written below, he immediately smiled.

"It's a letter from Xiaoshan!"

He didn't go out, but sat down on the sofa and read the letter seriously. The more he read, the wider his grin became.

"Hahahaha... Xiaoshan got the top score in the imperial examination, and Yingying even gave birth to a niece for me!"

I was so happy holding the letter in my hand. If I wasn't afraid of scaring them, I would have gone and taken a look right now.

On the other side, the Prime Minister's Mansion was also a festive scene, with big red lanterns hanging everywhere.

Xiaoshan was chosen as the top scholar by the emperor in the Golden Palace and was directly admitted to the Hanlin Academy as a sixth-rank editor.

Although Zhanshan is not his biological son, he is still very happy.

However, this excitement did not last long. Things changed after Xiaoshan joined the Hanlin Academy.

Every time they saw Xiaoshan and him together, their colleagues would point at them and ask questions curiously.

He said that the child looked very similar to him, as if they were carved from the same mold.

It would be fine if it was only asked occasionally, but almost everyone has asked this question, even the emperor is no exception.

Every time I see Xiaoshan and Qin Xiang standing together, I can't help but take a few more glances.

After wondering for many days, seeing that there was no one around, I couldn't help but ask.

"Prime Minister Qin, is Zhanshan really not your child?"

The emperor looked at Prime Minister Qin with a puzzled look. Although he didn't like gossip, the child looked too much like him.

Although there are many people in this world who are not related by blood, they look alike.

But no one could have imagined it to this extent. Not only the appearance, but even the behavior and expression are exactly the same.

He would never believe if you said they had no relationship.

“………………” Prime Minister Qin said nothing.

In the past, it was only colleagues who said this, but now even the emperor has said so, and the doubts in my heart are growing stronger and stronger.

He also found that the child looked more and more like him.

The child was thin before, so it was not noticeable.

Now, he has become stronger, his face has more flesh, and even his face shape is the same as mine.

How could people who were not related look so similar?

But apart from his first wife, there was only Diao in his family, and he had no other women. How could Xiaoshan be his son?

On the way home, I was still thinking about this matter. No matter how I thought about it, it seemed unlikely.

Just as he was daydreaming, a familiar voice came from his ears and immediately stopped the driver.

“Stop!”

After saying that, he opened the car curtain and saw the young man standing on the other side of the alley at a glance. It was his son Qin Jun.

At this moment, she was standing there with a man, talking and looking around, obviously afraid of being heard by others.

“………………” He frowned.

Isn't that Diao's cousin Wei Dacheng? Why is he with Jun'er?

And looking at his cautious look, it seemed as if he was saying something secret.

He quickly stopped the sedan chair in a secluded place, got out, walked over carefully, and listened around the corner.

"Jun'er, this silver is not enough!"

Wei Dacheng weighed the silver in his hand and looked at Qin Jun with a frown.

It would take a lot of money to tidy up such a big mansion, how could it be done with just this little money?

"Uncle, my mother said you should use this money first and find a way to deal with the rest later."

As Qin Jun spoke, he threw the silver in his hand over.

In fact, his mother gave him more than this, and he secretly kept a part of it for himself, thinking that he could play a few more times. It would not be too late to return it to them after he won back his capital.

Upon hearing the child call him that, Wei Dacheng frowned in dissatisfaction. There were no outsiders here, so there was no need to pretend.

"Alright then, Dad will take this money first. Tell your mother to hurry up and use it, otherwise we won't be able to finish the collection this year."

Wei Dacheng weighed the purse in his hand and was obviously dissatisfied.

"I understand!" Qin Jun waved his hand impatiently and ran straight to the gambling house in the alley.

Wei Dacheng also walked in another direction. Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Prime Minister Qin stood there like a stone statue.

He looked as if he had been struck by lightning, with shock and astonishment in his eyes.

“………………”

What did he just hear! Wei Dacheng actually claimed to be his son's father.

He himself didn't know how he got into the sedan chair, and he was even supported by servants when entering the mansion.

Before I could recover from my shock after returning to the house, I was shocked again by the housekeeper's words.

"Prime Minister, the young lady is allergic to dates!"

"What did you say?!" Prime Minister Qin's eyes widened instantly.
