Eunuch Qi's original intention may have been to publicize the wealth of the Liu family, but he did not expect that his words would cause strong resentment from Qin Huai.
The grand era has arrived, but these people are still closing their doors and immersing themselves in the old times. Relying on the blessings of their ancestors, they live a life of luxury and debauchery, and use humiliating others' self-esteem to satisfy their own perverted psychological needs. They feel like they have rolled their eyes and the whole world has nothing to do with them.
He stayed in a corner with the door closed, dreaming of being a royal relative.
However, they could never have imagined that their good days would not last long, and the more debauched they were now, the more suffering they would suffer in the future.
So when Qin Huai came back to see Old Liu again, he felt that he was just short of a little braid on his head. He had only a few people but employed countless servants. Needless to say, based on their decadent behavior, he had already guessed their origins.
As expected, Mr. Liu continued, "Qin Huai, I want to tell you something about our family. Our surname is not Liu, but Niu Hulu. The Empress Dowager Cixi was from our family..."
He died early in the morning, what are you guys still thinking about? And the Niuhulu clan, their eyes light up when they mention their surnames. I don't want to be associated with you unlucky people.
"After liberation, we were forced to change our surnames. However, as descendants of the Niuhuru family, we should never forget the glory of the eight major surnames!!" He said, waving his hands vigorously, as if he was commanding everyone.
After a pause, he pointed at Tong Rong and said, "That's your mother, the wife Chengzong married through matchmaking, the legitimate daughter of the Tonggiya clan;"
Qin Huai couldn't help but look at the noble lady. She sat there with dignity, taking a sip from a glass of water before putting it down again. Her behavior and manners were full of elegance and generosity.
However, her efforts were in vain. Her behavior was so ridiculous in Qin Huai's eyes. At this moment, he could only use two words to describe his mood: "Speechless."
"As for your father, Chengzong, he is now a high-ranking official in Jiangxia City, but he has gone abroad and will not be back for a while."
How could someone from the Liu family still hold such a high position? With so many leaders already arrested, how did he manage to stay in this position? Speaking of which, the Liu family itself is full of eccentricities. They've managed to hide and create their own world in this world. They're really quite good at it.
But the more he knew, the less Qin Huai wanted to get involved with them, because he was clear about the course of history.
Qin Huai said, "Mr. Liu, I came here today just because I saw you were old and pitiful. I also want to tell you that you must have made a mistake. I am just a small farmer in Wanbei County and have nothing to do with you royal relatives and nobles."
Tong Rong sneered and said, "Eunuch, since he doesn't want to recognize me, I think we don't need to force it, right?"
Old Liu and Mr. Liu gave her a sinister look and said, "Qin Huai, I know you have complaints against your father, but he had his own reasons at the time and didn't care about you and your mother."
However, Qin Huai had no interest in finding out the original owner's life experience.
"Your aunt is unlucky. She has been married for so many years but has never had a son or daughter. Later, when I heard about you, I was so happy that I have been looking for you ever since."
The mother he was talking about must be the noble lady in front of him, but Qin Huai felt that he was not worthy of her.
When the lady heard this, her expression turned extremely cold. For a woman who cannot have children, especially from a family like theirs, one can imagine what her life is like.
Qin Huai said, "Old man, whether I am your family or not, let's talk about this question later. I have a big question. A family like yours, without descendants for so many years, couldn't have not thought of a way, right? And, if I were your family, how come you only found out about me now?"
Old Liu said bitterly, "Every family has its own problems. I will tell you about these things later." As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant. Qin Huai was very surprised because this jade pendant was the one he sold in Qinjiazhuang in exchange for a pound of pork in order to repair his house.
"You recognize this jade pendant, right? It's our Liu family's treasure. Our people searched Wanbei County thoroughly before finding it. Chengzong left it to you, which means he already considers you a member of our Liu family. Take it quickly."
Qin Huai did not have a deep impression of this jade pendant and sold it shortly after his rebirth. It seemed that the Liu family had really put in a lot of effort to find this thing. Old Man Qin and Qin Xiaoyun both wanted to redeem it, but they couldn't find it.
Old Liu thought that Qin Huai would recognize him immediately when he saw the jade pendant, but he was disappointed. Qin Huai was no longer the Qin Huai of the past. He knew his life experience very well, and before he came, he decided to stay away from this family.
He stared at the jade pendant for a long time without saying a word. Old Liu thought he was touched, so he came over and put it on him personally and said, "It's really God's will that you can come to our old house."
Qin Huai suddenly asked, as if for no apparent reason: "Mr. Liu, since you found the jade pendant, you must know what kind of person my mother is, right? Where is she now, and what is her name?"
After saying this, he was horrified, because this question was not asked by him at all, it was like an instinctive reaction of his body.
Tong Rong's eyes flashed with sternness after hearing this, but Old Liu said, "Your mother's name is Fang Huizhi. She was the daughter of a wealthy family in Wanbei County. However, her family fell into poverty, their property was seized, and her whereabouts are unknown."
Mr. Liu said, "Brother, this is the first time the child has come today, so why not stop talking so much? Shouldn't you tell him his real name?"
Old Liu said hurriedly, "I'm confused too. Son, according to our family tree, your name should be Liu Junyan. I want to help you change your name back, okay?"
Qin Huai said, "There's no rush, Mr. Liu, there's no rush."
The Liu family probably didn't expect him to refuse, and they were all stunned. Old Liu said in panic: "Qin Huai, you may not know that as long as you are willing to recognize your ancestors, all these things in our family will be left to you in the future."
There was a sense of collapse in his tone, and Qin Huai suddenly felt sad for him.
"Mr. Liu, having this jade pendant doesn't necessarily mean I'm a member of your family. Let's not talk about that anymore. You wanted me to come to your house and take a look. I've already taken a look, and I'm ready to go back."
He firmly refused.
Mr. Liu said, "Brother, there's no rush for this kind of thing. This is Qin Huai's first time at home, so we can talk about it later. I heard he needs our help with something, so why don't you sit down and listen carefully to what he has to say."
Mr. Liu immediately regained his composure and said, "I was too impatient. Okay, Qin Huai, now that you're here, don't rush to leave. I'll show you around the house and I'll do my best to help you with your affairs."
When Qin Huai returned to Wanbei County, he saw Yu Zhennan's smiling face as soon as he got off the train.
