Chapter 205 Reunion
Ginkgo was concentrating on seeing who was sending gifts to the Marquis' Mansion. When she heard what Chen Tang said, she reacted, glanced at the old man, and nodded repeatedly, "I'll make a note of it."
The carriage gurgled forward and finally stopped in front of the Jiang family's gate half an hour later.
After the morning court session, Shen Sui greeted Old Master Jiang and brought Xiao Huan to the Jiang family to pay their respects. Old Master Jiang then asked for leave and returned home. The eldest and second masters Jiang, Jiang Mingxiu and Jiang Mingyuan were all there.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Master Jiang Da, Master Jiang Er, as well as Jiang Mingxiu and Jiang Mingyuan came out to greet them.
Shen Sui said, "These are your two uncles."
Xiao Huan shouted, "Uncle, uncle."
Master Jiang patted Xiao Huan's shoulder, his eyes red as he said, "I've let you down for so many years..."
Although Master Jiang knew that Xiao Huan's disappearance was most likely the result of a plot by the Second House, he always believed that if he had not been so negligent, Xiao Huan would have escaped that disaster, and Jiang would not have lost her beloved son, almost suffered a miscarriage, and finally died in depression and hatred.
Chen Sui said, "Let's not talk about the past. Yan'er has been wandering outside for these years, which may be a kind of protection for him."
The second branch was aiming for the title. The Jiang family had to take close care of him back then. If Shen Yan wasn't lost, they might have tried to kill him again. They were able to replace his newborn son under Shen Sui's nose, so it would be easy for them to kill a four-year-old child.
Jiang Mingxiu is two months older than Chen Yan, and Jiang Mingyu is seven months younger than Chen Yan.
One of them calls him cousin and the other calls him brother.
Chen Tang smiled and said, "I said that Prince Ning helped my cousin because of my cousin's own face. Do you two cousins believe it this time?"
Jiang Mingxiu, "..."
Jiang Mingyuan, "..."
Who could have imagined that Prince Ning was their cousin? It was like a dream.
Master Jiang Er said, "The old master and the old lady are still waiting to see Yan'er, let's go into the mansion first."
Old Master Jiang had already met Xiao Huan. If the servant had not seen Xiao Huan paying respects to Old Master Jiang, the Second Madam would not have guessed that Xiao Huan was Chen Yan. In the end, she had people spread rumors and made Chen Yan really return to his ancestral home. When the Second Madam thought of this, she regretted it so much that her intestines turned green, and she dared not reveal a word.
Otherwise, neither side will be in a good situation. Concubine Ye and Prince Qi will not forgive her, and neither will Chen Tang and the old lady.
Old Madam Jiang knew that Xiao Huan was her grandson, but like the old lady, she wanted to see him but couldn't. Now that she finally got to see him, her eyes were blurred with tears, and she was so happy that she choked with sobs and couldn't speak.
Chen Yan's disappearance has been like a huge rock pressing on the Jiang family's heart for the past ten years, making it hard for them to breathe. It has been fifteen years. During these fifteen years, they have been decocting medicine every day, and praying for her daughter every day. Now looking back, they feel that time has passed too fast. Her daughter has been dead for more than ten years.
Fortunately, their daughter gave them two wonderful grandchildren, no, three.
Old Master Jiang was also filled with emotion, "Prince Ning taught Yan'er very well, I hope my other grandson can also have such good fortune..."
Madam Jiang looked at Chen Tang, "Any clues about Xing'er?"
Shen Tang shook his head.
She also hoped that there would be clues that would allow her to find her second brother as soon as possible and truly reunite the family, but there was nothing, not even a single thing.
She knew that Madam Jiang was asking her if she had seen anything in her mother's dreams recently, but the dream was a fabrication by her. She figured out that her eldest brother was in Kyoto and had a noble status from Shen Xi's arrogance before his death. Shen Xi and the second wife both thought that her second brother was buried alive. The only clue now was that her second brother was hidden in a food box and put in a carriage belonging to a family surnamed Lin, and there was a large birthmark on his arm.
Other than that, I know nothing.
However, although there are no other clues, Shen Tang believes that she will be able to find her second brother.
It was already late when they arrived at the Jiang family, so after sitting down and talking for a while, it was time for lunch. The Jiang family also knew Xiao Huan's preferences, so they cooked according to the tastes of Chen Tang and Shen Sui, thinking that the tastes of the three of them, father and son, should not be too different.
The Jiang family did not expect that Xiao Huan would return to his ancestral home and have his first reunion dinner at the Jiang family. Old Master Jiang and Old Madam Jiang knew that Shen Sui made this arrangement because he felt guilty towards the Jiang family.
We had a very enjoyable meal with everyone talking and laughing.
Xiao Huan never expected that he had so many relatives in the world. Although Prince Ning and Princess Ning had always treated him like their own grandson, he always tried to avoid them, especially contact with Princess Jiang, for fear that she would see through him. He was even more afraid that he would be greedy and would be reluctant to leave when his identity was revealed in the future. Who would have thought that when he was first brought into Prince Ning's Mansion, Princess Ning already knew that he was not her biological grandson.
Not only did he treat him as his own grandson, he even tried every means to keep him in the Ning Palace and make him the inheritor of the Ning Palace.
He did have a birthmark on his lower back, and his features resembled Shen Sui's, but he was still a little worried that they might have made a mistake.
Seeing Xiao Huan looking at him, Chen Tang blinked and asked, "Brother, why are you looking at me like that?"
Xiao Huan said, "Brother is happy to have a younger sister..."
Chen Tang smiled and said, "Not only do I have a biological sister, but I also have a younger brother."
Xiao Huan nodded.
Chen Tang said, "But has your brother's amnesia been treated by the imperial physician?"
Xiao Huan had no memory before the age of four, and half of his memory of his wanderings was also lost, but he remembered how he came to be with Prince Ning.
Although there may be many happy memories in his memory, Chen Tang hopes that Xiao Huan will remember their mother, the person who loves them the most in this world.
Xiao Huan also wanted to recall the past, so that he could be sure that all of this truly belonged to him and was not taking away someone else's happiness.
Xiao Huan said, "I have seen the imperial physician. He said that returning to the place where I lived before might stimulate my memories, but... there is little hope."
After all, he was only four years old when he was lost, and it is difficult for most people to remember what happened when they were four years old.
Shen Sui picked up some fish and put it in Xiao Huan's bowl, saying, "It's okay if you can't remember it. What's important is the future."
Xiao Huan nodded.
After lunch, they stayed for another quarter of an hour before Shen Sui said goodbye and Old Master Jiang saw them out of the house.
When they left Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion, many people came to give them gifts. There were even more people at this moment. There was a family dinner in the evening, so Chen Sui and Xiao Huan did not enter the inner courtyard. Chen Tang went to Songhe Hall alone and told the old lady that they would come to Songhe Hall to pay their respects to her later.
When Chen Tang returned to Qingyi Garden from Songhe Hall, she was almost exhausted and lay on the small couch. Qiu Tong took off her shoes and then massaged her calves.
Qiu Tong's kneading made Shen Tang feel very comfortable. She rarely took a nap, so she felt a little drowsy. But just when she was about to fall asleep, Yin Xing came back. Before she entered the room, her voice came, "Miss, I have found out what you asked me to find out..."
