"Cough! Cough!"
Jiang Yueyang coughed violently and choked on her own saliva.
Song Xihe and the three uncles of the Song family all looked at Fang Yu'an on the bed. Was he the prince who had fallen into the common people?
[What did you just say? Who is he brothers with? ]
The system replied in a bland tone: [He and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are brothers.]
[Are you sure you are not mistaken? I have never heard that His Majesty has lost a son. ]
[The emperor didn't know he had such a son.]
After Jiang Yueyang stopped coughing, he walked to a stool nearby and sat down. "Come on, tell me the twists and turns in detail."
The system said: [It’s not that complicated. When the emperor was still a prince, in order to marry the empress, he dismissed the maids and concubines in the backyard who had not given birth to children.
Little did they know that one of the concubines was pregnant at the time, but because the pregnancy was still young, it was not detected at the time.
By the time the concubine found out she was pregnant, the emperor had already moved into the Eastern Palace and became the crown prince, so she could not see the crown prince at all.
She went to the government, but they thought she was crazy about becoming a concubine and kicked her out. That time, she almost lost the baby in her belly. So, she raised the child alone.
[She is not married? ]
[No, she thought it was a great rebellion to let the emperor's son call someone else his father.]
Jiang Yueyang sighed, [How hard must her life be? ]
In this feudal and backward ancient times, it was already difficult for a woman to get pregnant before marriage, and it was even more difficult to raise a child alone.
Besides, looking at the current situation, the child is being well raised.
[It was really hard. My eyes were almost blinded and now my house was burned down. Fang Yu'an wanted to take his mother to Beijing to take the exam, but his mother was afraid of being a burden to him, so she insisted on staying at home.
He was just told to take the exam well and try to get into the palace examination so that he could meet his biological father. 】
Jiang Yueyang couldn't understand, nor would she try to understand. If it were her, she would have just taken a bowl of abortion pills and aborted the abortion and that would have been the end of it.
Your Majesty is not a heartless and indifferent person. He must have given Ansheng enough money to dismiss the concubines.
Without raising children, she would be able to live a comfortable life without being gossiped about behind her back. Maybe she could even find someone she loves and spend the rest of her life with them.
Who cares if he is a prince or not, what matters most is your own comfort!
Jiang Yueyang: [Speaking of which, your majesty is also a bit funny. Other people raise two children at a time, but your own child is left alone. ]
The three uncles of the Song family and Song Xihe all widened their eyes slightly. What did this mean?
Whose child did Your Majesty raise?
【Then are you going to tell him? 】
Jiang Yueyang thought about it and said, "Forget it. Since he was able to pass the provincial examination, it should not be difficult for him to pass the imperial examination. If His Majesty still cannot recognize his son during the palace examination, then there is no father-son relationship."
No one present noticed that Fang Yu'an on the bed had already woken up when the system said that he and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were brothers.
The reason why he didn't open his eyes immediately was because what he heard was too unbelievable.
But after hearing what came next, he was confused.
His mother once told him that she had been a maid or concubine in a wealthy family, and he was the child of that wealthy family.
So...that wealthy family is from the royal family?
No, that's impossible. He must be dreaming, and everything will be fine when he wakes up.
So he fell into a deep sleep again.
The three uncles of the Song family did not intend to meddle in other people’s business, especially the royal family’s affairs.
However, those people outside have to be dealt with.
Therefore, Uncle Song said, "Little sister, find someone to take good care of this young master. We are leaving now."
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang hurriedly asked, "Uncle, where are you going?"
Uncle Song, who wanted to deal with those people outside, could only find an excuse to check the accounts.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yueyang also wanted to go along.
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm bored and want to go out and play. My aunt will definitely not be willing to leave that young man to play with me, so I'll have to trouble my uncles."
Song Xihe did not refute, she really was reluctant to do so.
Uncle Song had no choice but to agree, "Then go change your clothes first. You can't go in your official uniform, right?"
"I'll be there soon." Jiang Yueyang ran out.
The Song family has a yard in the Jiang family, and the Jiang family also has a yard in the Song family.
After a while, Jiang Yueyang came back after changing her clothes.
Before leaving, she told Song Xihe, "Aunt, don't let this person go out. He's a good guy, hold on to him."
Afterwards, she followed her three uncles out. As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw three people spying on the Song family stealthily.
Those three people should be the ones sent by the gentry to kill Fang Yu'an.
The three uncles of the Song family also saw it, but they pretended not to see it and helped Jiang Yueyang get on the carriage.
After a while, Uncle Song brought Jiang Yueyang to Anping Street, and the other two uncles went to the other two streets.
Originally, they didn't need to check the accounts in person, as the shopkeeper would deliver the account books to the Song family.
Now that they had said it, they had no choice but to come out and check the accounts themselves. It was a good opportunity to see if the people managing the shop were doing their best, as the money they made had been getting less and less recently.
After Uncle Song and Jiang Yueyang got off the carriage, they walked towards a rouge shop together.
As soon as they reached the door, they heard countless compliments.
There was a girl in yellow with a veil, surrounded by six or seven girls who were flattering her. Jiang Yueyang could see the smug look on the girl's face even through the veil.
"Yiting, can you really give us these rouges?"
"Of course, you can pick whatever you like."
"Yiting, you are so generous. Unlike Hu Xiaoqing, who promised to give each of us a handkerchief from Red Embroidery, but the handkerchief is nowhere to be found."
"The cheapest of these rouges costs five taels of silver per box, and I can't bear to buy them. Yiting, you gave us so much, will your father blame you?"
The girl in yellow said proudly, "No. My father said that this shop will be my dowry in the future, and I can give my things to whoever I want."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueyang and Uncle Song both stopped in their tracks.
Jiang Yueyang turned her head and looked at Uncle Song beside her, "Uncle, did we go to the wrong shop? She said this is her family's shop."
Uncle Song had a gloomy expression and sneered in his heart.
Even if he recognized the wrong son, he would never go to the wrong shop!
"Uncle?" Jiang Yueyang tugged at Uncle Song's sleeve.
"You're right. This is your shop."
Jiang Yueyang: "??? My shop?"
"Yes, all the shops on this street are yours. Your father gave them to you when you were one year old."
The shops along the entire Anping Street were bustling with activity, and he couldn't admit his mistake even if he wanted to!
These people are so brave!
Jiang Yueyang immediately rolled up her sleeves, "What, she dared to give my things away?"
