Chapter 170: Tiger Gives Birth to Tiger
Sang Ning searched the original owner's memory. Back in prison, Sang Xiuqi said this:
"That bitch of your mother clearly spent the night with Huo Zhennan, but she still refuses to admit it and insists on blaming the child on me!
Okay! Huo Zhennan is the emperor's confidant, I recognize him! I recognize you, this bastard, as long as she doesn't regret it!
My dear daughter, isn’t Dad very considerate? He gives you time for your wedding night in the first half of the night, and then he raids your house in the second half! Hahahahahaha!”
There was just one thing Sang Ning didn't understand. Since he wanted to take revenge, why did he only tell her and not the old lady?
Shouldn't Huo Zhennan's family also suffer?
"Mom, Dad used to go to the northern border often and stay there for several months. Later, you stayed in the capital to take care of the child and didn't go with him. Aren't you afraid that Dad would do something to let you down?" Sang Ning said jokingly.
The old lady's hands stopped sewing.
Her eyes became a little unreal.
Sang Ning bit his lip secretly and said, what nonsense!
Huo Zhennan is already dead, how can you make such a joke!
Sang Ning suddenly didn't want to ask anymore.
"mother……"
"It's okay." The old lady waved her hand.
She knew that Sanning meant no disrespect.
Answer seriously: “You asked this. Actually, I was worried about it at the beginning.
But later, I figured it out.
I have never asked your father to have only me as his woman for his whole life. There are not many men in this world who can do that, let alone a powerful man.
But it was he who made the vow, and as our feelings grew, I took it seriously.
Of course I was worried when he went to Northern Xinjiang alone. You don’t know, your father... ahem, is a strong man. To be honest, I really don’t know whether he is in Northern Xinjiang or not.
I won't ask either. Your father trusts me very much, and I want to let him know that I do the same to him.
Although I was really petty and thought a lot at the beginning.
Especially those jealous women who exaggerated and talked nonsense, which made me want to abandon my child and go find him.
However, every time he returned to Beijing, he was unwilling to go anywhere except the court. He just stayed at home with me and taught the children.
Every summer, he would stay in the capital for two months.
We've all been through this, so I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. For the past two months, your father has been pestering us every day, and in the days before he left, he even made a fuss until midnight.
You say, if he has someone else outside, why would he do this?
I felt sorry for him. At that time, I thought, even if he had someone, I wouldn't blame him. He was a hero who had fought through swords and arrows, so he should live a happy life. What if one day..."
The old lady turned her head away and rubbed her eyes secretly.
"Later, someone I knew told me that he was having an affair with a courtesan over there. I was so upset that I immediately picked a good girl with a clean background and went to Northern Xinjiang. I thought, if he wants something, he has to have the best.
But that time he was furious. He dragged me to the dungeon and made me see the so-called courtesan. She was a spy who had been arrested, and she was a man.
He called all the brothers I knew in the military camp and asked me to ask them one by one what they were doing in the frontier.
I didn't ask, and the brothers spoke for themselves, saying that the Marquis was busy training soldiers and checking the city's defenses.
He took me to the tent and showed me what was inside.
The tent was filled with things I had sewn for him.
There are pillowcases, handkerchiefs, purses, and sachets, and…"
The old lady began to cry, but it was not a cry of sorrow, but a cry of happiness and nostalgia.
"My life is worth it."
"I don't believe anything anyone else says. I only believe what he says.
I remember when I was first imprisoned, Sang Xiuqi bribed the jailer to see me and said: Do you know that Huo Zhennan has an illegitimate daughter?
I said: I know, isn’t she your daughter?
At this point, the old lady's eyes were still wet, but she grinned apologetically, "I'm sorry, I hated your family so much at that time that I just cursed at them."
Sang Ning: "...It doesn't matter. What did Sang Xiuqi say?"
"He said something else, glaring at me like he wanted to eat me. I said, 'Aren't you also a bastard? Aren't those children born to your stepmother also bastards?'
Don’t you have a lot of illegitimate children outside?
Hahaha, he sneered, waved his sleeves and walked away.
What kind of person is this? How dare you speak ill of the Marquis! "
The old lady said bitterly.
The old lady is awesome! Sang Xiuqi was actually born to the second wife, but nowadays people think that those born to the first wife are not as valuable as those born to the first wife, so the old lady directly called him an illegitimate child, which made him very angry!
It turned out that Sang Xiuqi had also looked for the old lady.
But the old lady didn't take it seriously at all.
Thinking back to when she told the old lady that she was not Sang Xiuqi's daughter, she didn't even think of Huo Zhennan.
I have to say that she has a really big heart, and sometimes this big heart reveals wisdom and open-mindedness.
Now it seems that Huo Zhennan is a good man and is very devoted to the old lady.
The probability of cheating is very small.
Besides, her mother didn't admit it.
However, it is not ruled out that the man is hiding something deeply, or that the two of them have been plotted against.
Sang Ning searched out another thing from his memory.
After the emperor ordered her marriage to Huo Changan, she met a crazy woman when she left the house.
Or maybe she had been squatting outside the door waiting for her.
At that moment, she rushed out and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't marry into the Huo family, don't marry Huo Zhennan's son, young lady..."
Then she was kicked away by the maid.
She called her Little Miss, so she must be someone who was with her mother before.
Why did she say she couldn't marry Huo Zhennan's son?
The old lady began to sew clothes seriously again.
"Don't be afraid to talk to me about this, it's nice to reminisce about the past. There's only one thing I can't express, and that's your father's remains.
The fourth brother has sent people to the northern border to search for him. Even if it’s just to find the clothes he was wearing at the time, it will be fine. When I die and bury him in the same place, I can still find him in my next life…”
…
In the courtyard.
Huo Changan is back.
Jinxiu looked up and casually called out, "Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt said she loves to play kissing with you."
Huo Changan: "..."
How did this get to the child's ears? Did she say that?
"Oh, what did she say?" he asked casually.
But his eyes drifted towards the kitchen.
Love playing with him, kissing him?
"I'm calling you a bastard! I want you to return her ruthless heart to her."
????? ?????
What a mess! This kid can't even speak clearly.
It’s a pity that the moon is not full and he refuses to accept girls, otherwise he would send them together.
"Don't talk nonsense in the future. Girls can't say kiss." He scolded her with a stern face.
Jinxiu grinned and dared not say anything. Fourth Uncle was so scary when he was angry!
Huo Changan didn't expect Sang Ning to come out of the old lady's house.
Do you want to sleep with mom again?
"Go back to the house, I have something to tell you." Sang Ning glanced at his legs.
I remembered the straight and strong long legs I had seen before.
She heard from her sisters-in-law how good the sons of the Huo family were, and from the old lady how good their father was.
A tiger gives birth to a tiger, and a leopard gives birth to a leopard.
If he missed the opportunity, Sang Ning knew that he would never find such a person again in the world.
To be honest, it’s not so much that she can’t bear to give up Huo Changan, but rather that she can’t bear to give up such an orthodox bloodline.
It's so rare.
