◎Shrimp? Are you sure this doesn't count as child labor?◎

Mo Yu just thought so, but it was like a stone that caused a thousand waves.

Because of this matter, it turned out that even Aunt Xue didn't know the secret.

It turned out that Master Xue had a weak body since he was a child, but he also had a half-brother, Master Xue Er. Although he was only a half-brother, his health was much better than his, and he also showed good talents.

This couldn't help but make him feel a sense of crisis.

Therefore, although Master Xue Er did not think of competing with him for the position of the head of the Xue family, and always respected him, he was still very defensive against this younger brother in his heart.

When Second Master Xue got older, he was assigned a job of traveling around for business. The Xue family was originally a royal merchant family with various shops all over the country, so it was a serious job to check the business conditions of the shops.

Second Master Xue was a down-to-earth person and thought that his eldest brother wanted to cultivate him, so he had no complaints and went happily.

He was gone for more than ten years.

He turned from a young boy into a mature uncle, and even got married and had a son and a daughter.

Although the children were not very old, it was obvious that they were both smart and kind.

Unlike their eldest wife...

Thinking of his sons who died at birth, Old Master Xue was filled with grief.

It turned out that Xue Pan was not his first son. The previous ones, whether born by Aunt Xue or by Master Xue's concubines, did not survive.

When Xue Pan was born, Master Xue was anxious when he saw that he was stillborn.

No matter what, he had to have a son alive first, right? He

couldn't really have no descendants, right?

If so, he would definitely not be able to get rid of the label of "being harsh to his younger brother". He might even be criticized for not having a son, and his younger brother, Master Xue, would take the throne.

It was really like "planting flowers with care but they don't grow, planting willows by accident but they grow into shades".

Who could have thought that Master Xue just wanted his half-brother to go out and do some idle work for a while, so that he would be far away from the family and lose the chance to inherit the family and compete with himself, but in the end, this younger brother actually became very successful outside and was more famous than himself at home?

Now, everyone says that the second master of the Xue family is a business genius. He has made great contributions to the prosperity of the Xue family in recent years. It seems that the eldest master of the Xue family has done a poor job in the Jinling family and can only barely maintain the success.

Perhaps because of guilt and anger, Master Xue became more and more resentful and depressed about this. As time went by, his health became worse.

After giving birth to Baochai, a daughter, he never had another child.

He simply trained his daughter well, hoping that her daughter would be able to stand out in the future and win the battle for him.

As for his son Xue Pan, he really didn't care.

Sure enough, it's not my own seed, it just doesn't work, it's like mud that can't support the wall.

But what can be done?

Didn't you choose it yourself?

Mr. Xue swallowed the bitter drink silently, thinking that it would be fine if this fake son was ineffective. Anyway, as long as he was around, the second wife would never be able to take over, so he could just leave a few good hands to help him.

As for the follow-up, it would be better to let Baochai find a son-in-law, and then give birth to more sons to revitalize their Xue family.

His Baochai is a good one, and he will definitely not be wrong about this.

Old Master Xue had already arranged everything. He was thinking that after Baochai reached the age of 15, he would find a husband for her, and then take away her brother Xue Panping's inheritance rights on the grounds that he was improper and stupid. Unexpectedly, he died so early and did not have time to do anything, let alone leave a will for Master Kang to take care of Xue Pan.

He is not his biological son, so why should he take care of him?

Even if he takes care of him, he should take care of his biological daughter Baochai.

It's a pity that these things cannot be said.

If he says it, he will be the first to deceive the emperor - because if he has no son, the position of the patriarch of the Xue family and the qualification of the imperial merchant will all fall into the hands of his second brother, Old Master Xue Er.

I heard that his second brother's legitimate son Xue Ke is extremely smart and well-behaved, and even his newly born daughter Bao Qin is smart and beautiful. It feels like everything good has happened to their family.

On what basis? !

He is obviously just a bastard!

Mo Yu deeply experienced the mental journey of Mr. Xue in the thoughtful immersive playback of System 006. It has to be said that in the eyes of Mo Yu, who is used to watching palace struggles and power struggles, this plot can be said to be very bloody. It

's simply unoriginal, right?

And it's a little bit logically confusing-why, just because he is jealous of his own bastard brother, he has to do so many things.

If you don't have a son, then having a daughter will do.

Oh, when you did this "cat-for-prince" thing, you didn't know that you would have a daughter in the future, and you thought you would have no descendants?

Okay, long-term illness will make people become weird, but even so, you can't lie to others, right?

Now it's all right, it's exposed even though it shouldn't be exposed - but Mo Yu didn't know at this time, because he was the one who broke the news.

He just ate some melon and didn't think much about it, but suddenly he felt that the atmosphere at the scene was very strange. Aunt Xue, who was originally pleading for Xue Pan, suddenly stopped crying as if something was strangled by her neck.

Not only that, she looked at Mo Yu with a complicated expression, as if he had just said some shocking news.

Mo Yu was a little surprised, because he was sure that he had said nothing just now, but this kind of situation has happened quite frequently recently, and to be honest, he has become a little accustomed to it.

Therefore, as long as no one asks him, he will pretend to know nothing.

This world, which can be called a fantasy, is indeed full of magical events. He is just a weak, pitiful, and helpless NPC. He doesn't care what these characters in the plot want to do.

It's easy to mess with him.

Anyway, he doesn't know when he will die, so he doesn't care so much.

It's better to continue to eat melons.

Mo Yu's mentality was very good, but the people who heard his inner voice were not so good as usual.

Of course, not all people were bad. Most people were still very excited to hear such secrets and shocking news of the rich families so closely.

Thirteenth Prince was one of them.

This child was originally a sincere person. Before coming to Jiangnan this time, he had never seen the dangers of the world. It can be said that through Mo Yu's inner voice complaints these days, he learned a lot - it turns out that things in this world are so complicated, just as the emperor and the fourth brother said, "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles."

Oh, at this point, it seems that it is better to say that traveling ten thousand miles is not as good as meeting a thousand people.

It is enough to meet one truly useful person, such as this young master of the Lin family, who is really a wonderful person.

The Thirteenth Prince ate the melon with gusto, and almost forgot the unpleasantness of being harassed by Xue Pan just now. This sunny and healthy mentality is really enviable.

Master Kang saw it, and felt relieved but also a little worried about his son - being too simple in the royal family is not a good thing. He was really afraid that his son would suffer in the future. After all, none of his sons were easy to deal with.

The Thirteenth Prince is such a simple and passionate child. What should he do if he meets his brothers?

Thinking of this, Master Kang couldn't help but think of what the boy from the Lin family said before, "He will get tired of the Thirteenth Prince in the future."

His heart was a little tight again - no, he had to find a way to get the child from the Lin family back to the capital.

Thinking of this, Master Kang didn't care much about the "real or fake young master" of the Xue family in Jinling.

He had sent someone to send Xue Pan to the prefectural government office earlier - of course, the charge was still the "rape of a commoner girl" at the beginning. As for the molestation, ahem, no, it was the harassment of the prince, so it was naturally not easy to say it out loud.

Besides, only the people present knew about this matter, and they all "heard" it through the voice of the Lin family boy, and there was no way to tell it to others...

Just like at this moment, everyone knew that the identity of the Xue family boy might be problematic, but they couldn't say it...

So, this Lin family boy really has some magical powers on him, okay, I can't say it, but I can check it.

Even if it is a wealthy family, they can easily use other people's children to exchange their own dead babies. This is obviously a crime.

Then who provided the baby to their family?

Could it be that the baby was kidnapped again?

Master Kang could think of this, but the Fourth Prince and others could not. Therefore, without waiting for Master Kang to speak, the Fourth Prince had already stepped forward and asked for permission to conduct a deeper investigation into the human trafficking cases in Jiangnan.

Last time, he and Lin Ruhai had already investigated most of the cases, and now it seems that it is time to dig out the remaining two or three percent of the hidden things.

However, this work is very dangerous, and the safety of the investigators must be guaranteed.

The Fourth Prince said it more tactfully, but Master Kang quickly understood.

This is talking about the Lin family.

Thinking of the previous report from the Sticking Pole Office that the Lin family was almost wiped out, Master Kang frowned, but immediately thought of an idea.

Although he had made up his mind, he remained calm and only sent the Fourth Prince to continue investigating the case with Lin Ruhai. Then he prepared to continue to travel with the remaining sons and ministers, as if he was not affected by this episode at all.

He did not even make things difficult for Aunt Xue - after all, Aunt Xue was also a victim, and she was just a woman in a deep house. When the matter of the real and fake son came out, the most uncomfortable person must be her as a mother.

Although Xue Pan was not her biological son, she had raised him for more than ten years. Even a dog would have feelings, let alone a human.

However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped.

The Xue family's behavior of deceiving the emperor must be severely punished.

So Master Kang directly ordered someone to give the qualification of the Xue family's imperial merchant to the second branch of the Xue family. Mo Yu's complaints just now not only mentioned a lot of scandals of the first branch of the Xue family, but also praised the second branch of the Xue family. Master Kang was ready to accept it all.

After being in contact with Mo Yu for such a long time, he has already figured out the effect of Mo Yu's "magic power".

That is, what this child "said" through his inner voice is basically true. Especially when it comes to specific matters about a certain person, there is no need to bother to verify it, just deal with it according to the truth.

So this time, Master Kang didn't have any entanglements at all, and he dealt with it quickly and decisively.

Therefore, the second elder of the Xue family, who had just rushed home to attend the funeral of his eldest brother, was delighted to receive a gift package of clan leader and imperial merchant qualification. Aunt Xue, who had come to save her son's life, returned home silently, wanting to tell her daughter Baochai the shocking news, but unexpectedly failed.

This was also the first time she knew the restriction of the supernatural power of the Lin family brother - that is, what the person heard can only be known by himself, and cannot be told to others, so that it can be regarded as a real supernatural power.

Fortunately, not long after, she found evidence that Xue Pan was not her biological son, and then she fell ill directly...

Putting aside the upheavals and chaos of the Xue family in Jinling, let's just say that Master Kang and his party, after a day of strolling in Jinling, were ready to set off back to Beijing.

Mo Yu was also ordered to continue to go north with Master Kang. The intention was very obvious, that is, Master Kang was going to intervene in the disputes among the princes and directly protect their Lin family.

Of course, he had to find a suitable reason on the surface, but as long as Master Kang made up his mind, it would not be a big deal.

Even the reason was ready, because Master Kang said that he had been a good companion these days and he liked him very much, so he asked him to follow Master Kang back to the capital to accompany the fifteenth and sixteenth little princes.
