Chapter 408 The Truth



In fact, no matter how you look at it, Qi Xiuyuan has made a profit. Just as he said, it is a blessing for his son to have these two godfathers.

His eldest son was named Qi Shuyun. In his previous life, his three sons all wore mourning clothes for Xiao He.

It is better to do it today than to wait for a day. Today, Xiao Hechuan and Lu Yao gave the child a nickname. As for adopting him as godparents, they will wait until he grows up a little before officially worshipping him. The child is still young now.

The nickname they gave him was Minghe, with Mingming on the top and Hehe on the bottom, meaning like the light shining on the people, sunshine, and outstanding.

Lu Yao also brought his fiancée with him. The two had already agreed on a wedding date, but Xiao Hechuan and Jiang Sui would not be able to make it because they had to return to Kyoto to take up their posts by then.

Three good friends just happened to sit together and have a good chat about life, because it won't be long before they will go their separate ways.

When something happened to Ye Congwen at Baiyun Academy, the whole place went into an uproar. All the teachers gathered together urgently and called Mr. Zhongyun to discuss countermeasures, because the academy could not be without a manager.

Everyone wants to take sole power, but Zhong Yun is still here. According to his seniority and qualifications, he should become the interim manager of Baiyun Academy.

Zhong Yun actually didn't want to care about it. He would rather have a quiet life and not have to worry about anything.

But now it seems that there is no point in doing anything.

After Ye Congwen goes in and out this time, he will definitely not be able to continue to serve as the president of Baiyun Academy.

An academy is a place for teaching and educating people. His moral character has been compromised and he can no longer continue to manage Baiyun Academy.

Moreover, when Baiyun Academy opened, it had to be certified by the government.

Now, the government has every reason to take away all jurisdiction over Baiyun Academy. From now on, Baiyun Academy will belong to the imperial court and will no longer be a private enterprise.

This also indicates that when Ye Congwen comes out again, he will have nothing.

Cheng Moyang took seven days to reach Jeju at full speed.

As soon as he entered the city, he began to ask people where the top scholar's home was.

In all of Jeju, there has only been one number one scholar, Xiao Hechuan, in recent years. You can find out where he is just by asking.

He brought his men and Nanny Xi's son, Zhao Yong, and headed straight for the Xiao Mansion.

At that time, the whole family was chatting and laughing in the back garden. From time to time, the sounds of adults talking and children laughing could be heard in the yard. They were having a great time.

Until the doorman came to report that there was a young man named Cheng Moyang visiting outside the door.

When they heard that Cheng Moyang was coming, Marquis Xuanping and his wife stood up excitedly.

"Mo Yang is my son. He must have brought back news from Xuancheng. Everything will be revealed soon."

"Prepare tea and invite the prince into the mansion!" Xiao Hechuan gave the order immediately.

Cheng Moyang looked exhausted, but he was still wearing a smart suit and a sword at his waist.

Before entering the mansion, he threw the sword to his attendant. It was really impolite to bring a sword into someone's house as a guest.

Everyone was waiting in the hall. The weather was hot, so they took a large jar of ice from the ice cellar and placed it in the main hall.

"Father, mother, everyone is well!"

Cheng Moyang came in and first greeted his father and mother, then greeted everyone politely.

He didn't know what to call him, so he just called him that.

The couple of Xuanping Hou were anxious to know the truth, especially Xuanping Hou, who said anxiously:

"Have you found out? What did your sister go through back then?"

"This is the letter that Aunt Xi left for Madam. She passed away ten years ago. It clearly explains the cause of the incident. I also brought Zhao Yong here and am waiting for his punishment."

Cheng Moyang took out the yellowed letter and handed it to Jiang with both hands. It was a very thick letter.

Everyone was eagerly waiting, and Jiang Sui also wanted an answer in her heart. She was a little nervous and very much looking forward to it.

Mainly, I want to give an explanation to the original owner!

Jiang took the letter and opened it. It said, "From the young lady herself."

The first sentence is, I am guilty, my crime is unforgivable...

Jiang looked at the letter and became angrier and angrier. Her hands holding the letter were shaking. Her eyes were red and her face was full of anger.

It is hard to imagine how outrageous the truth in this letter is.

After reading the last letter, she slammed the table in anger and bit her lower lip tightly.

"Ma'am, what did the letter say?"

"Father, let me tell you!"

Cheng Moyang knew that his mother was in a very bad condition, so he told the truth of what happened on behalf of his mother.

"Eighteen years ago, my mother and my father's concubine Ji Rou were pregnant at the same time. Ji Rou was not in good health and was not suitable for childbirth, but she insisted. At that time, the abbot of Ci'en Temple asserted that both my mother and Ji Rou were pregnant with girls. At that time, my father was looking forward to having a daughter. Ji Rou knew that once the two children were born, her children would definitely not get the best of everything. All the love and glory would be taken away by the legitimate daughter. And her body would definitely not last long after forcibly giving birth to a child. She was extremely anxious, thinking that if she died, her children would have nothing to rely on.

At this time, Nanny Xi's son committed a crime and Ji Rou caught him. Zhao Yong was a gambler and lost money outside. He hooked up with a maid in the mansion and the two had an affair. He lost money and was chased for debt. Nanny Xi gave him all her money to fill the hole, but it was still not enough. He was forced to no longer bear it. The debt collectors threatened that if they could not pay back the debt, they would come to Xuanping Marquis' Mansion to make trouble. In order not to implicate Nanny Xi, he forced the maid to give him money. The two had a dispute and he accidentally killed the maid and was caught by Ji Rou.

Ji Rou came up with a plan. She used this matter to threaten Nanny Xi, saying that if she didn't do as she said, she would send Zhao Yong to the government. She only cared about Zhao Yong as her own son, so she agreed to Ji Rou's request and suffocated her sister to death on the day her wife gave birth, creating the illusion of premature death. Everyone knows what happened afterwards. She did kill her sister, but when she was taking her sister's body out of the city, her sister had died, but suddenly started crying and was not dead. Out of guilt for her wife, she took the initiative to temporarily place her sister somewhere else, and let Zhao Yong take her sister away from home and find a good family to adopt her. However, the beast Zhao Yong abandoned her sister in the wilderness at will. When he saw her being picked up by someone, he claimed that he had completed his mission and returned to Kyoto to report.

According to Zhao Yong's confession, he abandoned his sister in a place called Xianhe Village in Qinghe County, Jeju, and she was adopted by a family surnamed Jiang.

Afterwards, Nanny Xi claimed to be ill, and her mother let her and her son leave. She took Zhao Yong to settle in Xuancheng. Because she had done something wrong, she had nightmares day and night. She eventually broke down and died of depression. Before she died, she left this letter and asked Zhao Yong to take it to Kyoto to apologize.
