Chapter 58: Enemies Become Friends
Jiang Rong's eyes flickered and he chuckled, "Because I hired a doctor for your mother?"
In order to curry favor with the Northern Prince's Mansion for his own future, he was reluctant to give the fan as a gift.
But his gratitude to Jiang Rong for treating his mother was sincere.
"Chi Moyan, let me ask you something. If the price for letting you recognize your father is to change your mother, are you willing?" Jiang Rong asked calmly.
"Impossible!" Chi Moyan refused without hesitation.
"I happened to find out your biological father. He is the Minister of Rites. An illegitimate child would do him no good. But a legitimate son who can pass the imperial examination is the successor he urgently needs." Jiang Rong looked at Chi Moyan steadily:
"I believe you will be able to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi. Your father will certainly want you to return to your ancestral home. You should also know that as an illegitimate child and as a legitimate child of an aristocratic family, what you get and the path you will take in the future are completely different."
"Please forgive me, Princess, I don't have a father." Chi Moyan drew a clear line in his words.
He never thought about recognizing his father!
It is even more impossible for him to change his mother for this!
Jiang Rong looked at Chi Moyan quietly. He was not surprised at all that his biological father was Lin Yide.
It seems that he already knew...
As for whether Chi Moyan would change his mother for the identity of the legitimate son, the result of the test was as she expected.
From the moment she saw the fan, she could tell that although Chi Moyan was obsessed with making a name for himself, he had never thought of abandoning his mother.
Chi Moyan was not willing to return to the Lin family at all.
And in this world, there is only one person who can make Chi Moyan, who is unwilling to acknowledge his father, bow his head.
It’s Chi’s mother.
How pitiful are the loving hearts of mothers in the world.
Jiang Rong sighed in his heart, and almost guessed the truth of his past life. Finally, he looked at Xiao Nanxing: "Is Madam Chi in good health? How long can she live?"
Chi Moyan was stunned by this question, and was horrified. He grabbed Xiao Nanxing's sleeve anxiously and asked, "Does my mother have any other illnesses?"
Xiao Nanxing didn't understand why and replied, "Although Madam Chi's eyesight isn't very good, she doesn't have any other illnesses. If nothing unexpected happens, she will live a long life!"
…
Previous life.
Chi Moyan passed the imperial examination and ranked ninth in the joint examination.
Minister Lin discovered that this person was actually his illegitimate son who had come to see him before.
Pressured by the problem of finding a successor, he immediately discussed with his wife and adopted Chi Moyan as his legitimate son.
Unexpectedly, the wife agreed, but Chi Moyan refused.
So the Lin couple found Chi's mother privately.
"Sister Chi, Mo Yan finally passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi. Do you want him to live his whole life with the reputation of being an illegitimate child?" Madam Lin advised her:
"He is registered under my name, and is the legitimate son of the Lin family, the future heir of the Lin family. He will have a life full of glory and splendor, instead of being an illegitimate child looked down upon by everyone. You can't hold your child back for the sake of your own glory and wealth!"
Minister Lin said, "Don't worry, Madam is tolerant and generous, and will treat Mo Yan as her own son. Think about it yourself, what is good for your son?"
Part of Chi's mother's reason for living is to find her husband.
Unexpectedly, her husband already had a wife and a happy family. She was superfluous.
The other half is to support my son.
Now that her son has a bright future, she has become a burden and a hindrance.
then……
After Chi's mother forced Chi Moyan to recognize his ancestral roots, she jumped into the river and died shortly afterwards.
The news was kept secret at first.
Chi Moyan thought that Chi's mother was blind and accidentally fell into the water. At that time, Chi's mother was already blind.
Later, he learned that Chi's mother was forced to death by the Lin couple.
The mistress of the Lin family was afraid that when he became successful in the future, he would marry his mother and affect her status.
After he recognized his ancestry, he threatened Chi's mother, saying that Chi Moyan's identity had been confirmed as a legitimate son, and even the emperor knew it.
If I am found to have forged it again, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor...
Chi's mother had lost all desire to live, and was afraid that if she lived she would harm her son, so she wanted to die without any evidence and secure her son's status as the legitimate son, so she voluntarily jumped into the river.
The only person Chi Moyan cares about in this world is his mother.
Lin Yide and his wife forced his mother to death, so he would not hesitate to bury all nine clans of Lin Yide with her.
The Lin family is a member of Prince Duan’s party.
If he wanted to bring down the Lin family, his best choice would be the crown prince.
This was the starting point of Chi Moyan's life as a traitor hated by everyone.
…
The carriage arrived at the pharmacy. Chi Moyan bowed to express his gratitude and got off.
Xiao Nanxing smiled and said, "So the Crown Prince's Consort is going to recruit a disciple today."
"I just went to take a look first, but seeing how filial he was, I felt that he could be of some use." Jiang Rong said.
Xiao Nanxing nodded in agreement, "That's right, filial piety comes first among all virtues! This boy is obviously a loyal and good person!"
Loyal?
Tsk, this word doesn't fit Chi Moyan.
If he really had a conscience, he would not have harmed so many innocent people in his previous life.
His eyes are full of ambition, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his goal.
If killing a few innocent people who have nothing to do with him can change his future, he will definitely do so.
But killing his mother is not allowed.
This is the only bottom line for him.
But, that's enough.
In this life, she will not let Chi Moyan follow the same path as in her previous life.
For someone like Chi Moyan who only cares about his own goals and doesn't care about the life and death of others, he has no morals and can do all kinds of evil things.
However, you can also restrain your words and actions.
It depends on what kind of knife the person he is loyal to wants.
He is sharp, smart, cunning and resourceful, a perfect knife. Most importantly, he has people he wants to protect.
Jiang Rong looked at the embroidered fan worth thousands of gold placed on the coffee table.
Chi Moyan is available.
…
The next day.
Chi Moyan came to pay his respects.
Qiu Niang led him to the third floor of Wanjuan Study.
"Mr. Chi, please go in and wait. Senior Qianqiu will be here soon."
Chi Moyan held a volume of articles he had written and pushed the door open. He saw that the bamboo house was clean and bright without any unnecessary decorations, and was elegant and simple.
There was already a person standing in the room.
That’s right, Song Heng.
"Brother Song, are you also Senior Qianqiu's student?" Chi Moyan bowed and greeted politely.
Song Heng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The senior didn't accept me. The shopkeeper said that the senior wanted to see me for something. Congratulations, Brother Chi, for becoming a disciple of Senior Qianqiu..."
Chi Moyan was a little surprised. After he "saved" Song Heng last time, Song Heng and he hit it off right away and they became very good friends because of his deliberate attempt to make friends with him.
He had read Song Heng's articles and found them to be on par with his.
and……
Song Heng is a man of noble character.
Is there no reason why the Northern Palace would look down on him?
Chi Moyan was not a person who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak. He did not look down on Song Heng because he failed to become his disciple. He smiled and said, "Brother Song is very talented. I believe that Brother Song will be on the list regardless of whether he has a master to teach him or not."
Although he envied Song Heng's character, he was not jealous. He sincerely congratulated his friend on his success in becoming his apprentice, and the two of them chatted in a friendly manner.
When Jiang Rong arrived, he saw this scene.
Every time the two met in their previous lives, it was like enemies meeting each other, and they wanted to stab each other.
Enemies becoming friends, it's really a bit magical.
