Chapter 250 Return my son to me!
Of course, the most important thing is the black materials of those powerful people, which is probably what people fear the most.
While Lin Shiqi was digesting what was here, Zhou Lang went to busy himself with his exams.
The little mute girl said that she didn't want to go to school for the time being, so she followed Lin Shiqi, saying that she wanted to protect her mother.
Lin Shiqi was very pleased that this cub was not raised in vain!
Everyone has a mission, and her current mission is to make Prince Gong stop and not cause trouble for Tianxuan Pavilion.
"Hasn't our Tianxuan Pavilion collected any dirt on Prince Gong?"
Lin Shiqi asked.
Jiayi grinned.
"Of course we have thought about collecting information, but he is very cunning and we cannot do it too obviously, so we have not achieved any substantial results. We only have a guess that he may have been in close contact with Marshal Lu in the north."
Marshal Lu is the commander-in-chief guarding the North Gate. It is a taboo for a prince to have close contact with such a person.
It’s just that Tianxuan Pavilion didn’t get any solid evidence, so this can’t be considered as evidence.
Lin Shiqi recalled that in the original novel, Prince Gong did try to win over Marshal Lu, but was later reported by Zhou Qinan, who ransacked Prince Gong's house.
That’s right, Zhou Qinan was not really helping Prince Gong, but was just using him as a springboard, and finally packaged his gains and sold them to the emperor.
Rebellion is punishable by death. How could Zhou Qinan, a scholar who had just risen to prominence, so easily help a prince to rebel?
"I will find a way to get the solid evidence. You help me deal with all the matters in the pavilion first. First, we need to ensure that the members are emotionally stable. Second, we need to assign more people to sort out the dirty materials and keep them under strict supervision. This is the biggest asset of Tianxuan Pavilion, understand?"
Lin Shiqi gave solemn instructions.
"Yes, Master!"
Jiayi also responded solemnly.
What Lin Shiqi didn't expect was that before she could wait for Prince Gong's revenge, she unexpectedly met someone first.
Zhou Lang returned home and brought a woman with him. This woman actually claimed to be Zhou Lang's mother!
Lin Shiqi was completely confused and almost lost consciousness.
After the woman explained in detail, she finally understood what was going on.
The woman's surname was He, and she was the wife of Prince He.
It turned out that nineteen years ago, the court was in turmoil, and several princes were fighting for the throne. The battle had reached a fever pitch. The entire capital was in a state of chaos and unrest, with fighting happening every day. Unfortunately, Mrs. He was about to give birth, so Prince He sent someone to send her back home for her safety.
Unfortunately, Mrs. He had just set out for a few days and, perhaps due to being frightened, she went into labor prematurely and gave birth on the way.
Fortunately, we had been prepared and there was a midwife with us, so the delivery went relatively smoothly.
But when passing through Jixiang County, we unfortunately encountered strong winds and heavy rains, which triggered mountain torrents. The whole earth seemed to be in doomsday as the waves rushed in.
This was a natural disaster that could not be prevented by human power. Everyone was frightened and fled in all directions. In the panic, Mrs. He was separated from many others, and her young son unfortunately went missing.
Afterwards, she was rescued, but the child was never found. At that time, everyone speculated that such a young child was washed away by the flood, and it was most likely that he had met with disaster.
Mrs. He cried heartbreakingly, but she could not change this cruel ending.
She thought that was it, but she never expected that not long ago her good sister, Mrs. Weng, sent her a letter saying that her son might not be dead, and Zhou Lang was her son!
Because Mrs. Weng specifically helped her investigate, and it happened that Mrs. Zhou had just given birth to a son, and was on the same path as Mrs. He.
At that time, Mrs. Zhou and her son were also separated by the flood. When their family members arrived later, they searched everywhere and finally dug Zhou Lang out from under the mudslide!
Mrs. Zhou thought this was her son, but in fact, this should be Mrs. He's son. At that time, everyone was washed away by the flood, and Mrs. Zhou recognized the wrong son.
Mrs. Weng finally said that she was 99% sure about this matter.
So, after receiving the letter, Mrs. He went to the Imperial Examination Hall every day to wait for someone. Now she finally found the person. She recognized Zhou Lang at the first sight. This was the son who made her unforgettable and shed tears in her dreams!
She came here now because she wanted Zhou Lang and his wife to go back to the palace with her and live together.
"God have mercy on me. I cried for so many days. Finally, God couldn't bear it anymore and returned my son to me! Woohoo... Don't be offended. I am really so happy. Woohoo... I never thought that there would be such a day..."
Mrs. He's eyes were already red and swollen when she entered the room. Now she wiped away her tears while talking, unable to control her emotions.
After listening to it, Lin Shiqi took a while to digest it.
In fact, she had always felt that Zhou Lang's appearance was not very similar to Old Man Zhou and Mrs. Zhou. Although they were somewhat similar, it was only a little bit. This was probably the slight change brought about by their long-term interaction and influence.
Now look at Mrs. He’s appearance again, does she look like Zhou Lang?
They look so similar!
Based on these, Lin Shiqi believed it a little.
but……
"Mrs. He, although what you said is, well, very true, I was raised by the Zhou family since I was a child, that..."
Zhou Lang was at a loss for words at this moment.
Although he is a big president and it is very consistent with the logic of his turbulent life, he has never actually experienced such a thing and doesn't know how to explain it.
On one side is his mother who raised him. In order to treat his illness, the whole family lived frugally and secretly saved money for more than ten years, just for a glimmer of hope. Although he is not that person, he can empathize with her.
But it doesn’t seem a good idea to refuse, after all, she seems to be my own mother.
Lin Shiqi knew what he was thinking, so he said tactfully:
"Mrs. He, we have never heard mother talk about this matter you mentioned. According to what you said, it may be true! But for so many years, it was the Zhou family who raised Zhou Lang to adulthood. Zhou Lang, or we and the Zhou family, have a very deep relationship with each other. Do you understand what I mean?"
Mrs. He nodded repeatedly with tears in her eyes.
"I understand, I understand! I have to thank the Zhou family very much. It was them who helped me save my son and raised him to be so successful."
Lin Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief. He was a sensible man, so this would be much easier.
Unexpectedly, the other party continued:
"I am willing to give all my savings to the Zhou family in exchange for their agreement to let you return to your roots. What do you think?"
Well……
This is really a vexing question. Lin Shiqi considered:
"This is not a question of gratitude. Well, we have lived in the Zhou family for so many years, it is impossible for us to abandon them. Even if theoretically, the He family is the home we should go to, but in fact, we and the Zhou family are the ones who have come all the way to where we are today. If we really do this, they will definitely not be able to accept it. I can say without exaggeration that Zhou's mother will not be any less sad than you were at the beginning. You should understand, right?
