Chapter 1244 The Truth Comes to Light
After hearing what Prime Minister Qin said, Xiaoshan was stunned. Why did he feel like he had something to do with this?
He looked at the people who were beaten to a bloody pulp, and stood aside obediently without saying a word.
Prime Minister Qin withdrew his gaze and grabbed Diao's neck.
"If you don't tell us what happened today, none of these three will leave this door alive!"
He gnashed his teeth and looked as if he wished to tear the woman in front of him into pieces.
"Master, how can you be so cruel! Although Yue'er and Yu'er are not your flesh and blood, you have loved them for more than ten years. I beg you to let them go!"
Diao knelt in front of Prime Minister Qin, crying inconsolably. If the beating continued like this, both her son and daughter would die.
After hearing her words, Prime Minister Qin's face not only did not show any sympathy, but became even colder.
"How dare you say that? You two bastards are enjoying all the glory in the palace, while my son is suffering in the dark and gloomy quarry and nearly lost his life."
Prime Minister Qin stared at Diao in front of him and pointed at Xiaoshan standing next to him.
He raised a bastard for someone else for more than ten years, while his own son was being tortured outside.
I still can't forget how thin Xiaoshan was when I first met him.
Moreover, Chuchu said that was not when she was at her thinnest. She felt extremely heartbroken when she thought of it, and she hated the woman in front of her to the extreme.
If it weren't for her, how could his son have suffered so much, and his wife wouldn't have passed away so early. All of this was caused by the woman in front of him.
The look in his eyes at this moment was like a poisoned knife, which frightened Diao so much that she shuddered.
"You, you, what did you say?"
Diao looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, then looked at Xiaoshan standing behind him.
From what he said, it seemed that he knew that Xiaoshan was his son, otherwise why would he say that?
Even Xiaoshan, who was standing nearby, was stunned.
“………………”
What does godfather mean by this?
If I heard correctly, it seemed like he was saying that he was his biological son. How is that possible!
Prime Minister Qin didn't have time to pay attention to him. He pointed at the people lying on the bench and looked at Diao fiercely.
"I'll give you one last chance. If you tell me what happened back then, I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, no one will be able to walk out of this door alive."
“………………” Diao bit her lips tightly.
Looking straight at the people lying on the bench, he knew that if the fight continued, they would really die.
"Okay, I'll tell you."
There were tears of despair in Diao's eyes. Seeing that the master already knew everything, it was useless for her to deny it.
All that would happen in return would be the tragic death of my cousin and two children, and even I myself would not be spared.
"Speak!" Prime Minister Qin looked impatient.
Diao wiped away her tears and began to talk about what happened that year.
When Diao saw how loving the relationship between Prime Minister Qin and Madam Qin was, she, as a concubine, was extremely jealous.
In addition, she failed to marry her cousin as she wished, and she couldn't bear to be just a concubine in the mansion.
This is why he designed to make Mrs. Qin give birth prematurely, and then secretly took the child away and abandoned it.
It was not until Madam Qin died of depression that she successfully ascended to the position of mistress and made her two children the legitimate bloodline of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
“………………” Prime Minister Qin clenched his fists.
I tried my best to control my anger and listened to Diao's explanation of the whole story. Although I had already thought about it, I still found it hard to accept when I heard it from Diao's mouth.
When I think of such a young child being abandoned, my heart aches as if it were being cut by a knife.
Even Xiaoshan, who was standing nearby, looked unhappy.
Although he didn't know the specific situation, he had always been smart and had already guessed the general idea.
At this moment, his face was very solemn and his fists were clenched tightly.
After telling everything, Diao knelt down in front of Prime Minister Qin again.
"I know I have committed a grave sin. I will leave it to you, Master, to decide my fate. I beg you to keep your promise and spare these two innocent children."
"Then my son is not innocent?"
Prime Minister Qin stared at Diao with a cold gaze, trying his best to control his emotions.
Seeing the murderous intent in the man's eyes, Diao was shocked.
"Master, you promised me that you would spare their lives."
Diao's voice changed, fearing that he would kill the two children in a fit of rage.
"Don't worry, I'm a man of my words. Not only will I spare their lives, but I'll also reunite your family."
Prime Minister Qin stared straight at Diao in front of him, and every word he spoke was squeezed out from between his teeth.
Death was too easy for them. He wanted them to taste the suffering and pain his son had endured.
“………………” Diao’s pupils shrank.
Looking at the murderous intent on the man's face, she had a bad feeling, but she soon knew what was going on.
The next day, Wei Dacheng of the Diao family, who had been demoted to the level of slaves, as well as Qin Yue and Qin Yu, were sent to the quarry in Jinzhou Prefecture in a horse-drawn carriage.
From then on, he lived a dark life of quarrying.
Before the people of the capital had time to discuss the matter, they were shocked by one piece of news after another.
Prime Minister Qin not only found his long-lost son, but also resigned from his prestigious position as prime minister.
Not only did the emperor agree, he also promoted Qin Zhanshan's official rank from sixth to fourth.
The people in the capital did not know the reason here, but how could Qin Zhanshan not understand his father's thoughts.
Since both father and son served as officials in the court and held important positions, they were bound to be suspected by the emperor.
Only then did my father willingly resign and give up his bright future to me.
In the morning, Qin Zhanshan came to Prime Minister Qin's house before going to court.
"Father, my son is going to court!"
"Go ahead, and be careful on the road."
Prime Minister Qin looked at his son's back with satisfaction and smiled with relief.
For the sake of his son's future and for his smooth life in the future, nothing is more important than having a son, no matter how good he is at following the emperor or how high his position and salary are.
He would no longer get involved in those party disputes. He would be satisfied as long as he could see his son come home safely every day.
Thinking of this, he hurried back to the study and wrote a letter.
I have to tell Chuchu this good news as soon as possible to make her happy.
By the time Qin Chuchu received the letter, it was three days later.
When he opened the letter, Gao Xing didn't realize it, and he looked like a fool, with his mouth wide open in surprise.
Seeing Chu Chu standing there like a wooden man, motionless with her eyes wide open, it seemed that she knew about the Prime Minister's affairs.
He patted her forehead with his hand.
“Stupid!”
In fact, he had received the news the day before yesterday. The reason why he didn't tell Chu Chu was that he thought he would know it not too late.
I was also quite surprised when I heard the news. After all, Prime Minister Qin has been in the court for so many years, and it is quite admirable that he can give up everything for his son.
Just for this reason, he can let bygones be bygones, not to mention the relationship with Chuchu.
Qin Chuchu's head buzzed when the man hit her, and she finally came back to her senses.
She stared at the man, swallowed, reorganized her words in her mind, and then spoke.
"Your Majesty, it turns out that Xiaoshan is my father's biological son!"
