No matter how much one likes this great-grandson, he is far less important than one's own children and grandchildren.
“Madam, although Aunt Shen is a bit annoying, it is indeed better to adopt a child than to let your son-in-law take a concubine and have a child. It would be better to…” As soon as the Shen family left, Xia Ying came in with a bowl of medicine.
But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Dong Shuang who came in with her and frowned, "Xia Ying, don't give Madam any random advice."
Dong Shuang came to the bed, put the hot water bottle in Yang Zhao's hand, and tucked the quilt in for her before speaking in a low voice, "Madam, I see that Xuan is a plump and fair boy, and Aunt Chen treats him very well. He doesn't look like a beggar at all, and the old lady seems to like him very much. Something is wrong."
Dong Shuang also said this in his previous life.
Yang Zhao later asked someone to investigate, and she found out that Xuan Ge'er was indeed an orphan whose parents had died, and he was favored by Shen Sulan as soon as he became a beggar.
On the surface, it's impeccable.
It was obvious that the Shen family had already made a backup plan.
However, after knowing that Xuan Ge'er was of the Shen family's blood, Yang Zhao understood why the Shen family insisted on having him adopted back into the Shen family as a beggar orphan, rather than as a member of the Shen family.
Because when the emperor exiled the Shen family, it included "all" male offspring. At that time, several unborn children from the Shen family's side branches were branded as criminals and sent to the border as long as they were boys.
Without exception.
Judging from the time, Xuan Ge'er is also a criminal, but he does not have the stigma of a criminal. It can be seen that he has disobeyed the imperial order and evaded responsibility in the past few years. Although the male members of the Shen family have been pardoned and returned, once this matter is exposed, it is likely to arouse the emperor's wrath, and even seriously affect his future studies and official career.
The Shen family prides itself on being a family of literati and scholars.
Not being able to study and become an official would be like asking for their lives. They certainly couldn't let this happen, so they set their sights on her.
Yang Zhao raised the corner of his lips: "It's just a child, it's nothing serious."
Shen Li owed her.
The Shen family owes her.
She would get them all back one by one without missing a single cent, and then send the entire Shen family to be annihilated.
