Chapter 203: Recognizing Ancestors
The old lady's face showed her unhappiness, and the others in the room dared not speak.
The Third and Fourth Madams don't know how many times you have looked at me and I have looked at you. They want to advise the old lady, but they are afraid of running into the old lady's trap. However, they don't think this is a bad thing.
If Prince Ning didn't really like Chen Yan, he wouldn't have gone through such a big detour by adopting Princess Roujia and keeping Chen Yan in the Prince Ning's Mansion, leaving all the family business to Chen Yan in the future.
That is the Ning Prince's Mansion, which is better than ten Pingyuan Marquis Mansions. This is a good thing for Shen Yan.
It's not a bad thing for Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion. All their ancestors sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, but they only earned the title of Marquis. Now, Prince Ning has put his own title into Chen Yan's hands. How many royal relatives are envious and gnashing their teeth.
From now on, Prince Ning's Mansion will definitely be the backer of Marquis Pingyuan's Mansion, and it will be an ironclad support. This is a great thing for Shen Sui and the third and fourth masters.
It's just that the old lady has missed her grandson for more than ten years and has yet to see him. In addition, Shen Sui agreed to such a big thing without even discussing it with her, which made the old lady feel unhappy.
Chen Sui was so concerned about the lonely children of Prince Ning and Princess Ning that he didn't even think about her. Yes, the Marquis's Mansion had many descendants, and each branch had a legitimate son, but the whereabouts of Chen Sui's youngest son was still unknown, and it was unknown when he could be found. The second branch's family was expelled from the Marquis Pingyuan Mansion, and the old lady no longer had a grandson.
After waiting for a long time for Chen Yan to return to his ancestral home, he ended up having to marry into the family's family.
The old lady was waiting, waiting for Shen Sui to return home, and after waiting and waiting, a maid came in and said, "Old lady, the Marquis is back."
Not long after, Shen Sui came in, but he was the only one who came in.
The old lady asked, "Where is Yan'er? Didn't you go to Prince Ning's mansion to pick up Yan'er?"
Chen Sui said, "I asked my fourth brother to pick it up."
It’s okay for the Fourth Master to go and pick him up, after all, Shen Sui and Shen Yan have already recognized each other as father and son in private.
The old lady asked, "Why don't you discuss this matter with me?"
Shen Sui said, "Old Prince Ning really loves Huan'er, I can't bear to refuse."
The old lady said, "You can't bear it, but what about you? You also have a title that needs to be inherited."
The old lady knew that Shen Sui had two sons, but she had to be around. Both sons were wandering outside, one was found, but what about the other one? Could he be so lucky?
The old lady hopes for it, but it doesn’t mean that she will really get it just because she wishes for it.
The old lady only knew that Shen Sui agreed to Xiao Huan marrying into the Ning Wang Mansion, and she knew nothing else.
Chen Sui said, "I have discussed this matter with Old Prince Ning. If Xing'er can be found, the title will be inherited by Xing'er. If he cannot be found, the title will be inherited by Huan'er's son in the future."
Chen Xing was the name that Chen Sui gave to his youngest son who was still living away from home.
After saying this, the old lady's expression eased a little.
Chen Sui continued, "After Huan'er gets married, Old Prince Ning will arrange for Huan'er to train under me, and the relationship between father and son will not be alienated."
"Occasionally, Huan'er will bring Princess Roujia back to the Marquis' Mansion to stay for a few days to accompany you."
Old Prince Ning said every month, but Shen Sui changed it to occasionally, saying it was too specific, and was afraid that he might not be able to do it in the future, and the old lady would be disappointed.
The old lady's expression had already eased a lot. "Being with me is secondary. The most important thing is the relationship between you two as father and son. After all, I haven't had you by my side for so many years..."
The grace of giving birth is greater than the grace of raising a child.
Prince Ning and Princess Ning have always loved Chen Yan, and now that the Emperor has agreed to let him marry into the Ning Palace, their love for him will be even more open and aboveboard. The old lady is afraid that Chen Yan will only have the Ning Palace in his eyes and no longer the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion.
However, Old Prince Ning was a kind person after all, and he arranged Shen Yan to work under Shen Sui, which was more convenient for cultivating the father-son relationship than keeping him in the mansion.
Shen Sui cared about the old lady's thoughts, but not that much. He looked at Shen Tang. After all, Shen Yan was found by Shen Tang. "You don't blame your father for doing this, do you?"
Chen Tang shook his head, “No matter where my eldest brother is, he is still my eldest brother, and he is always my father’s son and my grandmother’s grandson.”
The Third Madam said, "Tang'er is right. It is a blessing for Yan'er and also for our Pingyuan Marquis Mansion that Old Prince Ning loves Yan'er."
The old lady's anger disappeared, and she asked, "Why haven't you brought the person back yet?"
The old lady was looking forward to it.
The atmosphere in the room, which had been depressing for half a day, finally eased.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, a maid came in quickly and said, "Madam, the fourth master has brought the eldest young master back!"
Except for the old lady, everyone else in the mansion has seen Xiao Huan.
After waiting for a while, a tall figure walked in. His eyebrows and eyes were like Shen Sui, but his whole body was noble. At first glance, the old lady knew that Prince Ning really treated Xiao Huan as his own grandson. It was no wonder that Prince Ning was reluctant to let Xiao Huan come back.
The old lady's eyes were moist, "Yan'er..."
Since it is a return to one's ancestral roots, kowtow is inevitable.
The maid brought a cushion, and Xiao Huan knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady. The old lady resisted the urge to help him up, and waited until Xiao Huan finished kowtowing before helping him up, choking with sobs and saying, "It's been fifteen years, and I'm finally home..."
Xiao Huan's eyes were also red.
Although he had lived a good life in Prince Ning's Mansion over the years, and the old Prince Ning and the old Princess Ning treated him like their own grandson and planned everything for him, he knew that he was not the real Prince Ning's son. He also wanted to find his family and ask why they abandoned him. The old Prince Ning said that he had an excellent physique, was a martial arts genius, and was also good at reading, so he might not have been abandoned, but might have been separated from his family. But no matter what the reason was, he always wanted to find his family and find out his origins.
After knowing that he was the eldest son of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion who was lost at the Lantern Festival fifteen years ago, Xiao Huan realized that someone had been looking for him and thinking about him all these years, and the knot in his heart that had been knotted for many years was finally untied.
Xiao Huan called out, "Grandma..."
The old lady nodded repeatedly, her eyes blurred with tears of joy.
Xiao Huan called Shen Sui again, "Father."
Then he looked at Chen Tang, who called out first, "Brother."
The old lady had many questions she wanted to ask Xiao Huan, but she didn't dare to ask. After all, Xiao Huan had been in Prince Ning's mansion for so many years, and the nobility he exuded in his every move was unmatched even by the royal family. The old lady wiped her tears and said, "Let's go to worship our ancestors first. We have to tell our ancestors this good news."
Chen Sui stood up and led Xiao Huan to the ancestral hall. The third master, the fourth master, and Chen Tang also went there.
Normally women were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, but Chen Sui allowed Chen Tang to go in and burn incense. Chen Yan was found by Chen Tang, and the existence of Chen Xing was only known to the people in Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion after Chen Tang asked Xie Guimo to help bring Chunlan back.
Although Chen Tang is a girl, she has done more than his father. If Chen Tang were not qualified to enter the ancestral hall, few people in the Marquis' Mansion would be able to enter.
On this side, Xiao Huan returned to his ancestral home, and on the other side, the old lady was happy. She rewarded the mansion with monthly allowance for the first and second half of the year, and the whole mansion was happy.
When the Marquis's Mansion was happy, some people were unhappy and even vomited blood.
When the second wife heard what happened at the morning court, she almost had a stroke from anger on the spot.
She had people spread rumors in order to destroy the relationship between Prince Ning's Mansion and Marquis Pingyuan's Mansion, but not only did she fail to destroy it, she even brought the relationship between the two mansions closer!
The second house deliberately plotted against Shen Yan's position as the crown prince, and ended up sending Shen Yan to the old Prince Ning, giving him the position of the Ning Prince's crown prince!
The second branch got nothing and was even removed from the family tree. It was like a rat in a gutter, and everyone was shouting and beating it!
The second wife was so angry that her eyes turned black and her mouth tasted blood.
