Chapter 322 Return to the Clan
At the gate of Pingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Xie Guimo and Shen Tang were riding together. Just as they tightened the reins and stopped, Shen Sui came out.
After only a glance at Chen Tang and Xie Guimo, Shen Sui's eyes fell on the carriage, his expression urgent and nervous.
When Shen Xing lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, he saw Shen Sui. His intuition told him that this was his biological father, Marquis Pingyuan.
Father and son meet.
A sour nose.
One eye was red.
After Xie Guimo got off the horse, he helped Chen Tang down.
Chen Tang said, "Second brother, call me father."
Shen Xing finally reacted and choked out, “Father.”
Shen Sui smiled, but tears sparkled in his eyes and his voice trembled, "Okay, okay, as long as you come back safely."
"Come into the mansion quickly."
Shen Sui was happy, but more of a guilty conscience.
I feel guilty towards my son and even more guilty towards my wife.
If he had believed Jiang's words back then, she would not have died of depression, and his son would not have been stranded outside for sixteen years, and he would not have gone through life and death to find him.
After entering the mansion, Shen Sui asked, "How did you find your second brother when your eldest brother didn't send any news back?"
Chen Tang said, "Mrs. Huo returned to Beijing by boat and saved my second brother who fell off a cliff and into the water. My second brother followed her to Beijing."
Mrs. Huo saved Shen Xing's life, so her father had to prepare a generous gift and come to thank her in person.
Thinking of Mrs. Huo suffering from motion sickness and vomiting, Shen Tang hoped that she was pregnant like in her previous life.
Entered the inner courtyard and went to Songhe Hall.
Walking around the screen and entering the room, I saw the old lady sitting on the couch with her hair neatly combed. After all, she had been ill for so many days and her face was a little pale. She was greatly encouraged by her grandson's safe return and looked much more energetic than the last time I saw her.
Seeing Shen Xing, the old lady raised her hand, and Mother Wang quickly helped her up. The old lady hurried over a few steps, “Is this Xing’er?”
In fact, you don’t need to ask, you can tell it’s correct by looking at his eyebrows and eyes.
Shen Xing is like Shen Tang, with eyebrows and eyes like Jiang Shi.
The old lady was happy and distressed, "You have suffered so much in these years..."
Shen Xing shook his head, “No, the Lu family treats me very well.”
He grew up carefree in the Lu family, and even now, he still feels a little lost when he knows that he is not the Lu family's biological child.
The old lady nodded repeatedly, "The Lu family raised you and are our great benefactors of the Pingyuan Marquisate. Your father and your elder brother will definitely help to redress the grievances of the Lu family."
Shen Xing looked at Shen Sui.
Shen Sui nodded, "That's for sure."
The old lady instructed Mother Wang, "Ask the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes so that our family can have a good reunion."
Speaking of reunion, the old lady thought of Xiao Huan who had left Beijing in a hurry to find Chen Xing, “It’s a pity that Huan’er is not here…”
Chen Tang said, "Big brother must be worried these days. We need to send someone to tell him the good news as soon as possible."
The person who was looking for him hasn't come back yet, and the person who was being looked for has returned to Beijing. There is no one left.
Fortunately, the eldest daughter of Duke Wen's Mansion was frightened by the horse and was rescued by Prince Yu. If anything had happened, my eldest brother would not be able to explain to Duke Wen's Mansion.
The third and fourth wives came, and the third and fourth masters were not at home. When they heard the news that Shen Xing had returned home, they also returned home.
Seeing Shen Xing, of course, there was a lot of praise.
It was almost time for lunch, and the old lady said to Shen Sui, "Take Xing'er to the ancestral hall to burn incense first. Thanks to the blessings of our ancestors and the spirits of the Jiang family in heaven, the three brothers and sisters were able to turn misfortune into good fortune and turn disaster into blessing."
Both of Shen Sui's sons were wandering around, but they were both adopted by good families and did not grow up bad. The old lady believed that it must be the blessing of Jiang's spirit in heaven.
Shen Sui not only took Shen Xing to the ancestral hall, but Shen Tang and Xie Guimo also went, as well as the third and fourth masters.
After they left, the fourth wife said, "Judging from the way Xing'er talks, the Lu family must have raised him as their own son. In the future, Xing'er will inherit the title and will surely bring honor to the family."
The old lady said, "Xing'er has experienced life and death several times at such a young age. He is blessed by our ancestors for coming back safely. I dare not put such a heavy burden on him."
The fourth wife nodded repeatedly, "What the old lady said is right."
Chen Sui took Chen Xing, Chen Tang and others to the ancestral hall to burn incense, only to inform the ancestors of the news that Chen Xing had returned safely, and then to hold a formal ceremony of recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestral home.
After burning incense, we returned to Songhe Hall and it was time for lunch.
The maid brought the food into the house, and everyone sat down to eat lunch together. Shen Xing sat between Shen Sui and the old lady. The old lady kept picking food for Shen Xing and asked him about his situation in the Lu family over the years and about what happened at the border. Shen Xing answered them one by one.
The family is having a great time, talking and laughing.
Chen Xing felt a little restrained, but these were his flesh and blood relatives, he could feel their heartfelt concern and gradually integrated into the group.
The news of Chen Xing falling off a cliff spread to everyone in Kyoto because Xiao Huan left Beijing in a hurry. Everyone felt sad that the second young master of Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion had a miserable life. He was stolen from his mother's womb and even his biological father didn't know of his existence. After he was finally found, he had an accident on the way back to Beijing. The suffering he suffered at such a young age was more than others would have suffered in their entire lives.
Many people sympathized with Shen Xing's experience. Knowing that the second master and the second wife had an accident, they all said behind their backs that they deserved it.
Chen Xing returned to the capital today. Once the news spread, everyone who heard about it felt that Chen Xing was very lucky. He was rescued after falling off a cliff while being assassinated. The people sent by Pingyuan Marquis Mansion and Prince Ning could not find him, but he came back to the capital on his own.
The second branch of the Shen family deliberately planned to harm the heirs of the first branch, but not only did it fail, it was also driven out of the family. I'm afraid they were so angry that they died.
The news of Shen Xing's return to Beijing reached Prince Ning's Mansion, and the old Princess Ning and Princess Roujia were overjoyed.
Knowing that Chen Xing was in trouble, the old Prince Ning and the old Princess Ning were no less worried than the old lady. After all, Chen Sui only had two sons. They thought that they could definitely find Chen Xing, so they risked their lives to beg Chen Sui to let Xiao Huan marry into the Ning Palace. As long as Chen Xing was not found, there was still hope that he would be alive, but if he was found and something unexpected happened, the old Prince Ning and the old Princess Ning would not know what to do.
Although they had said before that if Shen Xing could not be found, Xiao Huan's son would inherit Pingyuan Marquis Mansion in the future, but many people only have one son in their destiny, and this was not something they could do just because they wanted to.
Especially Princess Roujia, who felt so stressed out at the thought of giving birth to two sons.
Could she say that she had been dreaming these days that after she gave birth to a son, she gave birth to a daughter, and then another daughter, and so on, and her eldest son was about to get married, but she still hadn’t given birth to a second son?
I was frightened awake in the middle of the night.
But Xiao Huan was not there, so she cried for a long time and no one knew why she was crying.
The maid did ask, but it was not easy to tell her such an embarrassing thing, and she was even more afraid that the nightmare would come true.
Now that Shen Xing is back, Princess Roujia is truly relieved.
She doesn't want to have so many children.
One son and one daughter are enough.
