Chapter 260: Legitimate Son
Fu Anran saw the guards on the side come forward, kneel down in front of Zhao Yun and said: "Your Highness, please forgive me for the fact that I called you brother-in-law before. I really didn't know that my grandfather and uncle were planning a rebellion. If I knew, I would never let them do it."
“Your Highness…”
Fu Anran was so panicked that he started to speak without thinking.
Gu Jingyu chuckled softly. After not seeing Fu Anran for a year, she still couldn't speak much.
Zhao Yun's face turned even darker, and he waved his hand to let the guards drag Fu Anran away.
Fu Anran looked at Qingxuan and said, "Master, save me, save me..."
Qing Xuan looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Your Highness, I will go down the mountain with you, but please let Fu Anran go. She did not participate in the Fu family's rebellion, and she came here to become a nun in order not to marry Zhao Jing or associate with him."
Zhao Yun said: "As long as you go back to the Wei family, it's not impossible to let Fu Anran go."
On the way down the mountain, Gu Jingyu looked at Fu Anran in front of her and smiled, "I didn't expect that I can still call you sister-in-law."
Fu Anran said, "No, I don't want to be your sister-in-law. I haven't wanted to be your sister-in-law for a long time. I can't compete with Sister Xiangye for a husband."
Gu Jingyu smiled faintly and said, "Master Qingxuan is also my cousin."
Fu Anran blushed when she heard what Gu Jingyu said.
Qingxuan did not explain, but just followed them down the mountain.
It was already early morning when the group arrived at the Wei Mansion.
The lights in Madam Wei's courtyard were brightly lit, and she was already dying.
Queen Wei did not return to the palace tonight and stayed with Madam Wei.
Madam Wei kept thinking about the past. She looked at Queen Wei and said, "The person I owe the most in my life is you."
Queen Wei said, "Mother, please stop talking about this."
"Mother, Grandmother, Qingxuan is here."
Wei Zhan heard Zhao Yunzhi's voice coming from the door and looked out.
A man wearing a Taoist robe and looking quite immortal came in from outside, holding Fu Anran's hand.
Fu Anran saw the scene inside and hurriedly bowed and said, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty, the Queen, the Duke of Wei, and Madam Wei."
Qingxuan also followed Fu Anran in paying respects to the emperor and empress.
Queen Wei looked at Qing Xuan in front of her, and seeing his appearance, she said, "You look like your grandfather when he was young."
Madam Wei looked at Qing Xuan who was coming forward, "Duke... are you here to pick me up?"
"Mother, this is Qingxuan, my brother's child in the Taoist temple."
Madam Wei stretched out her hand tremblingly.
Seeing this scene, Fu Anran pushed Qingxuan who was standing there.
Qing Xuan walked up to Madam Wei and let her hand brush across his face. "Child, the Wei family is sorry for you... Zhan'er."
Wei Zhan knelt down in front of Madam Wei and said, "Mother."
Madam Wei said: "Our family feels guilty towards this child. You must treat him well in the future..."
Wei Zhan said: "Mom, I will make it up to him."
Wei Zhan raised his eyes and looked at Qingxuan, the child he had not seen for twenty years since Qingxuan was born. But he knew at a glance that this was his child, perhaps because of their blood connection.
Madam Wei's hand slowly slid down Qingxuan's face and she took her last breath.
There was crying in the old lady's courtyard.
Qingxuan walked to the side and saw the white linen clothes handed to him by the maid. He frowned slightly, looked down and saw Fu Anran with a silk flower and a pleading look on his face. He still put on the mourning clothes over his Taoist robe.
As soon as daybreak.
After Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan woke up, they heard the news from the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.
Yun Xiangye asked Gu Yan to take care of Nuonuo, Shunshun and Xinxin in the courtyard, while she went to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion to pay her condolences.
After Yun Xiangye paid her condolences, she saw that the filial grandson who was kneeling to thank the guests who came to pay their condolences was Taoist Qingxuan.
Yun Xiangye said to Taoist Qingxuan: "My condolences."
Taoist Qingxuan raised his eyes to look at Yun Xiangye and said softly, "Master Gu is back?"
Yun Xiangye also lowered her voice and said, "He is back, but it is not appropriate to make a big fuss, so he cannot come to see Madam Wei off. I will come to see him off on his behalf."
Taoist Qingxuan nodded and said, "I hope the prince returns safely."
Yun Xiangye went to the reception room nearby to drink tea and take a rest.
The Wei family now has no female members, and the ones who came to entertain the female members today are all ladies from the Wei family's side branches.
When Yun Xiangye came, all the ladies in the reception room stood up to greet her.
Yun Xiangye just nodded at them and went to find the two sisters Fu Qianran and Fu Anran.
When Yun Xiangye passed by, Fu Qianran was still comforting Fu Anran, saying, "How could His Highness cause trouble to you? The reason why he said he wanted to punish you was just to force Taoist Qingxuan to come down the mountain."
Fu Anran said: "What does punishing me have to do with forcing the Taoist priest?"
Fu Qianran smiled and said, "My silly sister, don't you understand? Because Taoist Qingxuan likes you, he didn't want to come to the Wei family. After all, when the Wei family learned that the Yan family had an abortion in July, they ignored the matter and almost caused his mother to die. He has a grudge against the Wei family.
The reason he came to the Wei family was because of you."
Fu Anran was too scared, and only now realized it, blushing as she said, "I actually like the Taoist priest quite a bit, he treats me very well."
Fu Qianran touched Fu Anran's head and said, "Shi An said Qingxuan is a reliable person. If you and he are in love and can become a couple, then I will feel at ease."
Yun Xiangye said: "Then I will wait for my cousin and his wife's wedding."
Fu Anran saw Yun Xiangye coming and said, "Sister Xiangye, please don't make fun of me."
Yun Xiangye smiled softly at Fu Anran.
Fu Qianran and Yun Xiangye chatted for a long time before leaving together.
When Yun Xiangye and Fu Qianran were about to leave, they saw a sedan chair entering the Wei family. Yun Xiangye saw the beautiful woman coming out of the sedan chair and felt that she looked familiar. Wasn't she the Taoist Qingyue whom he had met once in Qilin Temple?
When Fu Qianran saw Yun Xiangye stop, she pulled her and hid behind a tree.
Yun Xiangye saw Fu Qianran trying to eavesdrop and said, "Isn't this a bad idea?"
Yun Xiangye never expected that Fu Qianran, who was brought up as a Crown Princess since childhood, would hide behind a tree and peek.
Fu Qianran lowered her voice and said, "Prince's Consort, this is about my sister An Ran..."
Yun Xiangye smiled and accompanied Fu Qianran to eavesdrop behind the tree.
Twenty years later, Wei Zhan saw Qingyue in front of him again, and she resembled the woman in his memory.
It was difficult for Wei Zhan to express his feelings to her. At first, he did not agree to borrow the nun's hand to bear a child. Yan knew that he did not want to, so she gave him some medicinal wine. By the time he regained consciousness, they had already had sex in the clear moon.
At that time, Wei Zhan didn't understand why Qingyue, a little girl, would do such a thing, and wanted to give her some silver to send her away. However, Yan begged him desperately, and Wei Zhan, seeing that what had happened, gave in.
After Qingyue got pregnant, she first lived in the Wei family. Later, when Yan became pregnant, Wei Zhan gave her a generous sum of money and asked her to have an abortion while she was still pregnant, and then leave and find another good husband to marry...
Wei Zhan coughed and said, "I thought you had aborted the baby as soon as Yan Shi knew about the pregnancy. I never thought that the Yan family would let you wait until the seventh month to have an abortion. If I had known earlier, I would never have allowed Yan Shi to do such a nonsense. Qingxuan has some misunderstandings about me."
Qingyue said, "Duke, I'm sorry. I didn't tell Qing Xuanming. He is a smart child. He pieced together his identity by himself. I didn't tell him clearly. I will explain it to him and then go back to the Taoist temple."
Wei Zhan clenched his hands and said, "Please stay and give me a chance to make amends with you and your son. Yan asked you to be a surrogate mother, but she poisoned you and your son. I have written a letter of divorce to Yan... I want you to be my legal wife and Qingxuan to be my legitimate son."
Qingyue raised her eyes to look at Wei Zhan, her eyelashes trembling slightly, "Duke, I am not worthy of being your legitimate wife..."
Wei Zhan said: "Just think of it as Qingxuan's sake. He needs a legitimate identity. And I owe you something after all. I should have made proper arrangements for your future."
Qingyue lowered her head and did not refuse again.
