1319 Stroke, tragedy follows tragedy

After the Ninth Prince threw the things out, he waited patiently for Uncle Zhan Yan to finish reading them. As the Ninth Prince expected, Uncle Zhan Yan could not accept them at all...

"Impossible, impossible, this is not true." Uncle Zhan Yan kept shaking his head, the information in his hand scattered, and the whole person seemed to have aged several years in an instant. He kept shaking his head at the Ninth Uncle, fully expecting the Ninth Uncle to say, this is not true!

The Ninth Prince retracted his gaze and said coldly, "Go ask your mother if it's true. I don't have the time to explain it to you."

After saying that, he asked someone to "send" Zhan Yan's uncle away. As for the information in his hand, of course it had to be kept. If it got out, what would the Ninth Prince use to make Wang Jinling compromise?

Uncle Zhan Yan came to the inner courtyard in a daze. When he entered the room, he saw his mother sitting there wiping her tears. Uncle Zhan Yan felt a pain in his heart and knelt on the ground with a thud: "Mother..."

"What happened?" Zhan's mother wiped her tears quickly and asked the servants to help Uncle Zhan up, but Uncle Zhan refused: "Mother, I have something to ask you, please let them all go down."

Zhan's mother's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling. She waved him away with a serious face: "Da Lang, you can be my grandfather if you stand up and talk. It's not proper for you to kneel down at every turn."

"Mother, I am an unfilial son and want to ask you a question that you shouldn't ask." Uncle Zhan understood that asking about parents' affairs was an act of unfilial piety, so he had to kneel down and ask.

Even if his father was wrong, that man was still his father.

Mother Zhan's face changed, she looked at Uncle Zhan unnaturally, and sighed: "What is coming cannot be avoided, just ask."

Mother Zhan let go, but Uncle Zhan didn't know how to start again. Mother Zhan couldn't bear it anymore, so she said, "Are you asking about Yan'er?"

"Mother, Yan'er is really..." Uncle Zhan opened his mouth but couldn't utter that word.

The tears that had just stopped falling fell again. Zhan's mother closed her eyes and nodded: "Yes, she is your father's daughter." The last sentence sounded like tears of blood, which showed how distressed Zhan's mother was at this moment.

Although he already knew it, Uncle Zhan was still stunned when he heard Mother Zhan's confirmation. He collapsed on the ground and said, "Is Yan'er really the child of father and sixth brother's wife? No wonder, no wonder sixth brother didn't come home all these years, and didn't come back until father died. I'm so confused, I'm so confused, why didn't I think of it? Since Yan'er was born, sixth brother no longer goes to the backyard and doesn't get close to women. Sixth brother is so miserable, so miserable."

A man in his forties cried like a baby.

"How could father do that? How could he do that? Sixth brother has sacrificed so much for the Zhan family over the years. There are women of all kinds in this world. How could father do that? How could he..."

Uncle Zhan cried and cursed, and Mother Zhan also had a painful look on her face. Seeing that her son was getting more and more unreasonable, she had to interrupt him: "Okay, stop talking. Your father is dead. There is no point in saying this anymore."

"Now that he's dead, everything is over and he doesn't have to worry about anything. But what about my sixth brother? Because of the mistakes he made, his life is ruined. He even lost his life for Zhan Yan's illegitimate daughter. Mother, do you know that my sixth brother died for Zhan Yan?" Uncle Zhan was so grief-stricken that he threw himself at Mother Zhan's feet and told her everything he had seen from the Ninth Prince.

"Are you serious?" Zhan's mother's hands kept shaking and her face twitched uncontrollably, which were signs of a stroke.

Uncle Zhan didn't notice the abnormality of Zhan's mother, and nodded repeatedly: "Mother, I didn't lie to you. Someone threatened my sixth brother with this matter and wanted him to die. My stupid brother really became stupid because of studying. Not only did he treat Zhan Yan, this bastard, as his own daughter, but he actually believed the people who threatened him. He kept his promise, but how could those people keep their promises like him? What should we do if he dies? It's also a waste of time.

Zhan Yan, that bastard, died. Sixth brother is too stupid..."

"My son, my son..." Zhan's mother was so shocked that her whole body was shaking. In a few seconds, she fell down.

"Mother, mother...someone come, someone come quickly." Uncle Zhan panicked and immediately got up from the ground, but he had been kneeling for too long and his legs were no longer able to move. In addition, Mother Zhan was heavy, so both mother and son fell heavily to the ground.

The room was in chaos. The servants half carried and half dragged Zhan's mother onto the bed, pinched her Ren Zhong point, fed her water and pills, but after tossing and turning for a long time, Zhan's mother did not wake up.

The doctor who came with the Zhan family quickly rushed over. After checking Zhan's mother's pulse, he shook his head and said, "The old lady was so angry that she had a stroke."

"Stroke? Are you saying that mother will be paralyzed?" Uncle Zhan knew very well what a stroke was, and it was precisely because he knew this that he was afraid.

The Zhan family has already lost Mr. Wenyuan, and now they are all supported by the old lady. If the old lady were to collapse, the Zhan family would truly collapse.

"It depends on what happens after the old lady wakes up. The old lady's condition is not optimistic. You have to be prepared, sir." The doctor is the Zhan family's doctor, so naturally he would not hide anything.

After hearing this, Uncle Zhan was completely stunned and his hands kept shaking. The doctor was afraid that he had a stroke, so he immediately took out a silver needle and prepared to give Uncle Zhan an injection, but when he turned around, the doctor was gone.

"Where's the master?"

"Go out, go out." The servant stammered, not daring to say that Uncle Zhan kept cursing, "It's all that bastard's fault. I'm going to kill her."

Uncle Zhan came out of the room and rushed straight to Zhan Yan's yard. The Ninth Prince received the news and asked someone to tell Wang Jinling.

The affairs of the Zhan family no longer need to be handled by the Ninth Prince. What the Ninth Prince needs to do is to quell other people's doubts.

After all, it is not easy to fabricate evidence, and the Ninth Prince must handle all aspects well.

When Wang Jinling learned that the Ninth Prince had told Uncle Zhan about Zhan Yan, he immediately rushed to Zhan's mother's yard, just in time to meet Uncle Zhan who rushed out, and of course he also heard the word "bastard" from Uncle Zhan's mouth.

Wang Jinling saw Uncle Zhan rushing forward aggressively, frowned slightly, and dodged from a distance. The guards behind him immediately stepped forward to block Uncle Zhan's way: "Uncle Zhan."

"Get out of the way." Uncle Zhan was furious. When he saw someone rushing up without any eyes, he raised his foot to kick him. Fortunately, Wang Jinling's guards were well-trained, and Uncle Zhan was just a scholar with limited strength.

"Uncle." Wang Jinling stepped forward at the right time. When Uncle Zhan Yan saw Wang Jinling's gentle face, his anger subsided by a third: "Jinling, it's you. What's wrong?"

"Jin Ling asked me to call you uncle, so I'm sure you will listen to my advice." Wang Jin Ling said this directly. Uncle Zhan's face changed and he said unnaturally, "You know that too?"

This is a family scandal, and Uncle Zhan doesn't want it to be made public, even though this person is his younger brother's favorite student.

"Master treats me like his own son. Please rest assured, uncle, Jinling knows what to listen to and what not to listen to." Wang Jinling stated that he knew, but also said that even if he knew, it would be the same as not knowing.

"Jinling, okay, you are a good person, you are a good person, my sixth brother did not misjudge you." Uncle Zhan patted Wang Jinling's shoulder and said with a sob, as if he had found an outlet.

When he first learned about such a big secret, Uncle Zhan almost went crazy. Now that Wang Jinling is with him, Uncle Zhan feels that things are not that bad. At least the Zhan family’s reputation will not be ruined.

"Uncle, there are people coming and going here, let's go inside and talk." Wang Jinling smiled soothingly, but only he knew how bitter his smile was.

The secret that the master had used his own death to cover up was finally exposed. Although only a few people knew about it, this was not what the master wanted to see...
