"I thought my uncle understood me. Only by becoming the father-in-law of the emperor, the emperor's grandfather, would I have the opportunity to clear my biological mother's name."
"You are a Duke now, so you can do the same."
"How can it be the same? My mother is innocent too. She treated me like her own son. How could I be ungrateful?"
Duke Li's words angered Yang Jinzhong.
"Oh, what an ungrateful man! If my sister hadn't saved Li Sheng, he would have died long ago. He lost his memory and asked to marry my sister. He and my sister were married in a formal ceremony, with the rites of heaven and earth and a marriage certificate. They were husband and wife for two years.
After the Li family came, they ignored the fact that my sister was pregnant and tricked Li Sheng into returning to Beijing by claiming he was seriously ill, and quickly married him.
"The ungrateful Li Sheng forgot about my sister and became a loving couple with He. My sister died in childbirth, and you were taken to the Li family and became He's son. Ha!"
"Father wasn't ungrateful. He just couldn't resist my grandparents at that time. My biological mother is also deceased. She was a very kind person. Although she had my fourth brother as her biological son, she treated me as her own."
"That's because she gave birth to two daughters in a row and couldn't have a son, but Li Sheng already has two illegitimate sons. Her family was banished to a cold and bitter land by Emperor Taizong, so naturally she wanted to hold on to you, the eldest legitimate son, and make you the Crown Prince, so that her position would be secure. How could she not treat you well?
But even though He's family was demoted, Li Sheng did not take the opportunity to clear your biological mother's name.
There is only He in the Li family's genealogy, and you are He's biological son. If Li Sheng is not ungrateful, then what is he?
I should have let it go earlier, but I took into consideration that you are my biological child. My sister was too foolish to save Li Sheng. He is not worth saving.
Yang Jinzhong was very sad because he was raised by his sister.
The sister saved the seriously injured and dying Li Sheng. After Li Sheng woke up, he remembered nothing except his name.
Originally, Yang Jinzhong was very wary of Li Sheng, but Li Sheng got along very happily with his sister.
Li Sheng proposed to his sister, and she agreed. She got married before her arms and legs had even recovered, and her internal injuries hadn't even healed.
Their father was a doctor, but he died early. Their mother remarried, and the two siblings depended on each other for survival.
In order to treat Li Sheng's illness, the siblings went into the mountains to collect herbs before dawn. They encountered countless dangers and fell countless times in the mountains.
Yang Jinzhong felt very upset.
After his sister died, he hated the Li family so much that he didn't want to give his nephew to them, but he couldn't snatch his nephew away from the Li family either.
Moreover, the manager sent by the Li family said that only the Li family could provide his nephew with a better life and education.
Yang Jinzhong did not fight anymore, because he knew he could not win against the Li family.
On the night when his nephew was taken away by the Li family, he went to his sister's grave to burn incense, but when he returned home, all the incense was burned.
He guessed that it was the Li family who did it, but he was so weak and helpless that he could only flee his hometown.
He traveled to many places as a traveling doctor, changing his name and identity.
When Yang Jinzhong was brought to Beijing by the retired emperor, he thought of the Li family in the capital and finally agreed.
However, Li Sheng had already died, and his nephew was conferred the title of Duke by the retired emperor, becoming the head of the Li family.
In the end, he couldn't help it and went to meet his nephew and speak up for his sister.
However, he did not expect that he would be deceived by his nephew and board the Li family's pirate ship.
He was not the one who killed some of the retired emperor's children, but since his nephew, Duke Li, had evidence against him, Yang Jinzhong had no choice but to act against his conscience.
"I was too obsessed. You didn't care about your biological mother who risked her life to give birth to you. You only remembered the kindness of He's upbringing. Like father, like son. I didn't see it clearly before."
Yang Jinzhong regretted that he had not seen through his nephew's true character earlier.
He is a descendant of the Li family and has inherited the Li family's coldness and ruthlessness. He shouldn't have any expectations of him.
"Uncle, you misunderstood me. I didn't say I wouldn't clear my birth mother's name, but we have to wait until Xiao Sa becomes emperor. If I clear my birth mother's name now, how will others see me? Uncle, you have to think about me too."
Duke Li was very impatient in his heart, but he still looked bitter.
He was fed up with the fact that Duke Li only mentioned his biological mother.
In fact, he had known his life story for a long time. When he was young, his father told him that his biological mother was just a peasant girl.
How could Duke Li be willing to accept such a humble identity?
My mother, Ms. He, was my grandmother's niece, the daughter of the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, and a talented lady from a prominent family.
However, his biological mother is a rural doctor. Once his background is exposed, how can he face the world and his brothers and sisters in the Li family?
How can he keep his position as the prince of the Bo Mansion?
The father wanted to save face and was unwilling to marry a peasant girl when he had lost his memory.
He is the same.
Duke Li was even thankful that his biological mother died early so that he could become her biological son.
Yang Jinzhong didn't know what Duke Li was thinking, but at this time he was already disappointed with Duke Li.
"You can do whatever you want, I won't get involved."
"It's too late for Uncle to quit now. Do whatever you want. I've lived enough."
"Uncle, don't you care about your descendants? Once this is accomplished, the Yang family will be honored."
Duke Li did not want to fall out with Yang Jinzhong.
Although he looked down on his biological mother's identity as a peasant girl.
But this uncle had some abilities and became an imperial physician valued by the retired emperor. He also served as the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau for many years.
"My hands are filled with sins. I should have died long ago. Their death is also fate."
Duke Li gnashed his teeth, unable to help but feel resentful. "You always blame me for neglecting my biological mother, but did you give her a good status? If my biological mother was a noble lady, a lady from a wealthy family, or the daughter of an official, would I hide it? I wish I could tell the world about it."
"Isn't being the biological sister of the Imperial Hospital Chief Judge enough?"
Yang Jinzhong just felt powerless and didn't know why he had persisted for decades.
"If you had cleared your birth mother's name earlier, with my status as the Grand Emperor, would it have been difficult for you to make your daughter the Queen and your grandson the Emperor?"
"So what if it's an imperial physician? Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger."
Duke Li did not continue speaking, but it was obvious that he looked down upon the position of imperial physician.
Although people are afraid of death and will not offend doctors easily, these powerful and influential people respect the imperial physicians, but not many of them do.
The court judge was only five people.
It turned out that his uncle was born into a low-class family, but he was a fifth-rank judge and the imperial physician of the retired emperor, and he took himself very seriously.
There was no point in talking to anyone, and Yang Jinzhong felt that he had been stupid before. He was thinking about the blood relationship, but others didn't look down on him at all and only took advantage of him.
"I won't report you, but don't expect me to help you again. Don't even think about doing anything to the Yang family. Don't force me to die with you."
Yang Jinzhong left after saying this.
Duke Li punched the wall.
He said to the back: "Spread the news, Yang Jinzhong is useless."
