Chapter 178 Shi Yu wants to stay and sleep with Xiao Yan

The other end.

Wei Qingyan told Shi Yu what he saw, and they both suspected that the current Shen Changshan was not the real Shen Changshan.

But he is indeed the son-in-law of the Qin family and the father of Qin Sixian and others. Therefore, his resentment will bring disaster to the Qin family.

If you want to save the Qin family, you have to resolve this grudge.

To resolve the grudge, we must find out his true identity and where his real roots lie.

Shi Yu had studied in the Imperial College and was taught mathematics by Shen Changshan. He had some understanding of him, so he sorted out Shen Changshan's past for Wei Qingyan.

The Shen and Qin families were good friends, so they arranged a marriage for the unborn child.

Afterwards, the Qin family moved to the capital to pursue official careers, while the Shen family went to the north to pursue business.

The Shen family suffered a disaster and was completely wiped out. Seventeen-year-old Shen Changshan came to the capital with a token of trust.

The master of the Qin family did not despise Shen Changshan, who was as poor as a beggar, and wanted to marry his daughter as promised.

Shen Changshan is also a man of integrity. He is determined to pass the imperial examination before marrying Miss Qin.

The future son-in-law is ambitious, so the master of the Qin family is naturally happy and regards Shen Changshan as his own son.

Shen Changshan did not disappoint the Qin family. Two years later, he passed the imperial examination and fulfilled his promise to marry Miss Qin.

However, because he was dissatisfied with the tyranny of the previous dynasty, he did not enter the officialdom.

The chaotic regime ended only after the late emperor ascended the throne.

Shen Changshan took the imperial examination again and became the first Tanhualang after the founding of the Wei Dynasty, and served in the Imperial College.

“If someone is replaced, the most likely person is Shen Changshan during those years in the Northland.”

Wei Qingyan pondered and said, “But the Qin and Chen families are good friends. They both lived in Furong County before, and Shen Changshan left when he was eight years old.

If the replacement looks too different from Shen Changshan's childhood, Master Qin would be suspicious."

“So, you want to meet the Shen family members just to see if the Shen Changshan in the coffin has any similarities in appearance with the Shen family members?”

Wei Qingyan nodded.

Shi Yu glanced at the sky and pulled him to the bed. "Let's talk about it tomorrow. Get some sleep first. I'm in the next room. Call me if you need anything."

Wei Qingyan pulled the man's sleeve and said, "Come out with me, will the emperor blame you?"

"Several have already been caught. If I continue to stay in the palace, the rest will not dare to show up."

Shi Yu really wanted to stay and sleep with Wei Qingyan in his arms.

But this is the Shen residence, and if it gets out, it will be bad for Wei Qingyan's reputation.

And if they stayed, the two of them wouldn't be able to really rest. Shi Yu suppressed his inner impulse and rubbed Wei Qingyan's head, "Go to sleep."

Wei Qingyan didn't have any romantic thoughts, she really needed to replenish her energy.

After Shi Yu left, he fell asleep quickly to recharge his energy.

The next day.

Wei Qingyan and his companions had just finished their breakfast when Qin Sixian and his brothers and Gong Minglou came over.

Qin Sixian was put on sleep therapy last night, and he seemed to be in better spirits today. However, Shen Siyuan still looked tired, and he probably didn't sleep last night.

Wei Qingyan knew that the two brothers were anxious, so he didn't keep them in suspense and told them the scene of Shen Changshan's resentment.

Shen Siyuan was a little confused, "Young woman? My father only has a younger sister, and there is no older sister above him."

He subconsciously felt that the woman who could be taken away by his father must be his father's relative.

Qin Sixian remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long pause, he said, "I heard from my grandfather that it wasn't just the Shen family that suffered the accident. Several nearby families were wiped out, their property was looted, and their houses were burned down.

My father suddenly decided to go to a classmate's house in the countryside and thus escaped the disaster. After that, my father went to Beijing alone.

Therefore, that scene couldn't be the scene of the Shen family's misfortune. If they were hiding from the murderer who killed the Shen family, those people would first target my father. "

But in the picture, the father said that when they returned, they would not let that woman go.

Who is that woman?

Or who is the father?

"Is there any follow-up to the Shen family's case?" Wei Qingyan asked.

Qin Sixian shook his head. "At that time, the country was in chaos. The imperial court was in turmoil. Local officials were inactive. There were uprisings everywhere, and even bandits and roving bandits who took advantage of the situation to cause chaos."

"But your father, a scholar, came all the way from the north to the capital alone."

Wei Qingyan frowned slightly, "If your grandfather's words were true, the world was in chaos at the time, and your grandfather would definitely not have sent people to the North to verify whether this Shen Changshan was the real Shen Changshan, right?"

"Miss Chang, what do you mean?" Shen Siyuan stood up in shock, "Do you suspect that my father is not my father?"

"He is our father." Qin Sixian reached out and pulled his brother back to his seat, patting the back of his hand twice to comfort him.

Then he explained to his brother, "Miss Chang suspected that the Shen Changshan who came to the capital that year was not the Shen Changshan from Furong County."

Wei Qingyan nodded.

A brain that gets enough sleep really works better.

Qin Sixian saw a hint of admiration in her eyes and said with a wry smile, "Young lady, when you meet my great-uncle Shen later, you may understand why grandpa no longer doubts me."

Wei Qingyan quickly understood the meaning of his words.

Because Shen Changshan and this great-uncle of the Shen family are three or four points similar.

Since he looks like a member of the Shen family and has an engagement token, Mr. Qin would not be suspicious of the future son-in-law who came to him.

Even Wei Qingyan was wondering if his guess was wrong.

Shen Changshan is the Shen Changshan from Furong County. Hasn't he been replaced?

Then his roots should also be Furong County.

Or the Northland where he lived for nine years.

But none of this is true.

Wei Qingyan had to temporarily suppress his doubts about Shen Changshan's life experience and changed his thinking and asked, "Shen Changshan's uncles and other relatives are all here, why does Shen Changshan want to be a live-in son-in-law?

Who meant to give Mr. Shen the surname Shen?"

"I once asked my mother about this privately." Shen Siyuan continued, "My mother said that my father left home when he was young and was not very close to his great uncle and his family from the Shen family.

In addition, my mother was the only daughter in the Qin family, and my grandfather was very good to my father. My father was grateful to my grandfather, so he took the initiative to offer to visit.

My last name, Shen, was my mother's choice, but my father was very happy."

Happy, that means Shen Changshan cares about the Shen family's incense issue.

The Qin family has been good to him, and there are many ways to repay them, not just having to be a live-in son-in-law.

Wei Qingyan took note of this in his heart.

Qin Sixian probably had the same idea as Wei Qingyan, and added, "Every Qingming Festival, whenever my father is free, he will bring my second brother to Furong County to pay homage to the Shen family's grandparents and aunt."

"Only bring Master Shen?" Wei Qingyan frowned.

"Yes, my father is good to all his children, but he is closest to the second child."

Wei Qingyan couldn't help but look at Shen Siyuan.

In ordinary families, the second child is often the most easily neglected by his or her parents.

The eldest son Qin Siyuan became the chief academic officer of the Imperial College at a young age. The recently deceased Qin Sanye also relied on his own abilities to take the imperial examination and entered the Hanlin Academy.

However, Mr. Shen Er, who is engaged in business, has a higher status in Shen Changshan's heart than the eldest and third brothers.

Is it because his last name is Shen?

"Is it your father's idea or your own idea that you go into business?" Wei Qingyan asked Shen Siyuan.

The Shen family is in business.

"I didn't like studying when I was little, so my father told me that going into business was an option."

Shen Siyuan replied, "My father told me to give it a try. If I really don't like it, I can try another route. The truth is, I really like this route, and my father is happy for me."

"But your father was the first scholar to enter the imperial examination after the founding of the Wei Dynasty. Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, he encouraged his closest son to go into business."

No matter how Wei Qingyan looked at it, he felt that Shen Changshan wanted his second son to inherit the Shen family's legacy.

Then the question returns to the starting point. If he cares so much about the Shen family, why would he give up his identity as a son of the Shen family and become a son-in-law of the Qin family?

"My father said that every profession has its own top talent, and he taught us by example."

Shen Siyuan had the best relationship with his father. He didn't want Wei Qingyan to think anything bad about his father, so he continued, "Back then, my father passed the imperial examination with his brilliant essays and entered the Imperial College. Teaching and educating people was his dream.

But after a few years, something happened and my father could no longer stay in the Imperial College.

My mother said that my father stayed in the study for a few days, then went to the north to move the remains of the Shen family's grandparents back to Furong County.

He picked himself up and eventually returned to the Imperial College. Although he taught auxiliary subjects such as mathematics, my father never slacked off and devoted himself to studying mathematics to make his teaching more valuable.

In the end, he was loved by many students. Whenever we three brothers encountered setbacks, we would take our father as an example. So, Miss Chang, I never thought it was a bad idea for my father to let me go into business.

Wei Qingyan also didn't think that doing business was a bad thing.

She just wanted to know more about Shen Changshan, so she continued to ask, "What happened back then?"
