Chapter 187 Something Big Happened
"My son greets his mother!" Xia Dongsheng walked forward and kowtowed three times to Xie Changning respectfully.
He called out "Mother" with sincerity and heartfelt feeling.
"Good boy, get up quickly." Xie Changning reached out and helped him up immediately.
Both mother and son had tears in their eyes, and the scene was very touching.
Even though the old woman refused again and again, Xie Changning still took her back.
Within half a day, the news that Xie Changning had found his son spread.
At the Duke's Mansion, Xie Changning had someone deliver a letter early in the morning.
After receiving the news, Lin immediately brought people over.
Since Xie Changning recognized Xia Dongsheng, he was Shen Wenyuan's son, no, Ye Huainan, so Xia Dongsheng naturally could no longer have the surname Xia.
Xie Changning discussed it with him.
Officially changed his name to Ye Zhonglin.
Lin not only brought him a generous gift, but also showed him great concern and care.
Ye Zhonglin bowed politely and called Lin "Auntie".
Xie Xingyun also came. Although he was a few years older than Ye Zhonglin, the two brothers got along very well.
The family reunion banquet is scheduled for three days later.
As soon as Xie Changning sent Lin and Xie Xingyun away, Xu couldn't wait to come.
"Oh, it's obvious that he is Sister Xie's son, there is no mistake." Xu praised Ye Zhonglin a lot. Because their two families were relatives in the past, she still remembered roughly what Shen Wenyuan looked like.
He really looks like Shen Wenyuan.
Xu still called Shen Wenyuan like this. Firstly, she didn't know Shen Wenyuan's name, and secondly, she had long been accustomed to it.
She also prepared a gift for Ye Zhonglin.
Although Ye Zhonglin had not read much, he behaved in a generous and appropriate manner, saying nothing more than a word. He looked very sensible and was very likable.
Ministry of Justice.
When Pei Zhi received this news, he couldn't help but frown.
Especially knowing that Ye Zhonglin looks very similar to Shen Wenyuan.
After Xie Changning left that day, he asked someone to interrogate Wu again and confirmed that everything she said was true.
She knew very well that Ye Zhonglin was not her son at all, but she still acknowledged him.
They even hold a grand family reunion banquet.
It is obvious that Ye Zhonglin has an extraordinary background.
That's why she didn't hesitate to put herself into the game.
He had always hoped that she would not be involved in the court struggles, but she was inevitably involved.
Well, then he would lend her a helping hand.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the family reunion banquet, but Xie Changning did not invite the Ye family.
Ye Zhonglin was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked very elegant. As soon as he appeared in front of everyone, he immediately aroused a wave of praise.
Today, Xie Xuan also came.
This family reunion banquet was really grand.
Xie Changning even ordered people to distribute porridge in the city. She did this not for Ye Zhonglin, but to pray for her own children.
The beggars in the city were blessed now. They all rushed forward and received a lot of food, including porridge and steamed buns.
Shen Jingshu was eating the food brought back by the beggar, and only then did she know that Xie Changning had actually found his biological son.
She was shocked. "What? That bitch Xie Changning is so lucky. Why is she living such a happy life?"
Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou also clearly heard the beggars' discussions.
Several people felt indescribable bitterness in their hearts, and they all recalled the days when they wore gorgeous clothes in the Marquis' Mansion.
It's like something from a previous life.
Besides feeling bitter, several people felt more jealous.
Originally, all of this belonged to them.
But it was snatched away by an evil creature of unknown origin.
How can they swallow this?
Several people looked at each other, with ferocious hatred in their eyes.
The next day, Xie Changning took Ye Zhonglin back to the Duke's Mansion.
Since he is coming for the Duke's Mansion, we must create an opportunity for him.
In the past two days, she has been taking great care of Ye Zhonglin, just like a mother takes care of her own son, and no one can tell anything is wrong.
"Grandson greets grandmother." This was the first time Ye Zhonglin met the old lady.
The old lady's eyes were red. She pulled Ye Zhonglin aside and talked a lot, asking him if he was doing well and what his hobbies were.
Naturally, the old lady also prepared a gift for Ye Zhonglin.
At noon, they stayed at the Duke's Mansion for lunch.
After lunch, Xie Changning accompanied the old lady for a nap. Xie Xuan and Xie Xingyun had something to do, so the father and son went to the military camp together.
Ye Zhonglin claimed that he was not tired, so the old lady told him to wander around the Duke's Mansion at will.
Upon hearing this, a light flashed in Ye Zhonglin's eyes. He didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon. Fortunately, he always carried those things with him.
I really didn't expect that Xie Changning and the people from the Duke's Mansion would be so stupid.
It is clear that God wants to kill them.
Ye Zhonglin took his people for a walk in the back garden first, and then he went to the library.
After coming out of the library, he walked aimlessly and unexpectedly came to the courtyard where Xie Xuan's study was located.
The area is heavily guarded.
Ye Zhonglin was thinking about how to sneak in when he suddenly saw a few red plum trees in the yard. They were in bud and about to bloom. He told the guard at the gate that he wanted to go in and take a look at the red plum trees.
Due to his identity, the guard at the gate thought for a moment before letting him in, but only let him in alone, and also told him not to go near the Duke's study and could only stay there for half an incense stick of time.
Ye Zhonglin nodded in agreement.
Perhaps because there were heavy guards outside, there were no guards in the yard.
He glanced around and made sure that no one was around. Then he quietly took out a bulging oil-paper bag from his sleeve pocket and buried it in the bamboo forest in the yard.
In less than half an incense stick of time, he left.
He could never have imagined that as soon as he left, a secret guard appeared quietly.
This is the Duke's Mansion, so he is naturally Xie Xuan's man.
At this moment, Xie Changning, Xie Xuan, Xie Xingyun, and Lin were all in the old lady's yard.
Xie Xuan ordered someone to open the oil-paper package, which was full of letters.
These were letters exchanged between him and the King of Xirong. The handwriting on the letters was exactly the same as his own. Not only others, but even he himself could not tell the difference.
The letter clearly stated that he had conspired with the king of the Western Rong to first let the Western Rong pretend to surrender, and then take advantage of his return to the court to cooperate with the Western Rong from inside and outside to capture the imperial city in one fell swoop.
These letters are all evidence of his treason.
Everyone couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
If these letters fell into Your Majesty's hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Changning, this time it's all thanks to you." The old lady looked frightened, and even her voice was trembling.
Lin held Xie Changning's hand tightly. Although she didn't say a word, Xie Changning understood what she meant.
After reading these letters, Xie Xuan threw them all into the charcoal brazier beside him. The burning flames illuminated everyone's face.
Xie Changning was furious. In his previous life, they had charged the Duke's Mansion with treason and collaborating with the enemy.
In this life, they actually want to use the same old tricks again.
Unfortunately, their hopes were dashed.
The charge of treason is a good one!
If this happened to the Fourth Prince, I wonder how His Majesty would react?
Xie Changning exchanged a few words with Xie Xuan.
In the evening, she took Ye Zhonglin back home as if nothing had happened.
After dinner, Xie Changning asked Ye Zhonglin if he was willing to study. If he was willing, she would arrange for him to enter Guanlan Academy.
"Madam, something big has happened. I don't know why His Majesty actually sent the Royal Guards to surround the Duke's Mansion." Before Ye Zhonglin could speak, Butler Zhao suddenly rushed in.
