Chapter 179: Another 20 or 30 Years Ago
Wei Qingyan's question silenced the two brothers.
Gong Minglou advised, "Brother, second brother, now that things have come to this, tell the truth. Miss Chang is also trying to help our family. Don't wait until more people get into trouble and regret it later."
He has always been prudent in his actions and rarely interferes in the affairs of his father-in-law's family. These words are from the bottom of his heart. He really doesn't want to see anything happen to his father-in-law's family again.
Qin Sixian certainly understood his brother-in-law's kindness.
Can……
He looked at Shi Yu, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Shi Yu's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face. He said in a deep voice, "Master Qin, please feel free to speak. I am only here with my fiancée today. Everything we do is just to resolve our grievances."
Yes, the most important thing is to resolve grudges.
Qin Sixian gritted his teeth and whispered, "The late emperor attached great importance to the studies of the princes and often sent teachers from the Imperial Academy to the palace to give lectures and discuss doctrines with the princes.
Although my father was young at that time, he was very popular among the students of the Imperial College, and my father's name was added to the list of places for lectures in the palace.
Once, when my father finished teaching and was about to leave the palace, he was asked by the third prince to ask about his lessons. The third prince asked a lot of questions, and my father, as a teacher and a student who loved to learn the most, couldn't help but say more.
But my father also remembered the time to leave the palace, but the third prince asked questions one after another, and only when he saw that the palace gate was about to be locked did the third prince let people go.
My father had no choice but to walk quickly towards the palace gate, and did not notice the woman walking out from the side.
Her father and she fell together, and the late emperor saw it. The woman cried to the late emperor, saying that her father had bad intentions towards her and deliberately knocked her down.
She was the concubine of the late emperor. No matter how my father explained that he did it unintentionally, the fact was that he knocked down the late emperor's woman and pinned her under him.
How could a man who intended to lay hands on the imperial concubines teach at the Imperial Academy? Although his crime was not made public, my father was expelled from the Imperial Academy by the late emperor.
Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu looked at each other, and both of them looked unhappy.
This was clearly a frame-up. Now that they knew the late emperor's character, their first reaction was that this was a trap set by the late emperor.
The concubines in the harem and the third prince were all people that the late emperor could dispatch.
But why did the late emperor target a mere doctor from the Imperial College?
Therefore, it is not ruled out that it was the Third Prince at that time who framed Shen Changshan.
Students are dissatisfied with their teachers and deliberately make things difficult for them. Such things often happen among the powerful.
She looked at the two brothers, "With such a crime, how did your father return to the Imperial College?"
"My father presented a plan for teaching numerology and an explanation of its importance in real life."
Qin Sixian said unconvincedly, "Perhaps the late emperor valued talents, or perhaps the late emperor valued mathematics, so he allowed father to return, but from now on he can only teach auxiliary subjects."
If you value talents, you will reinstate him.
If we attach importance to mathematics, this subject would not be just a secondary course until now.
Wei Qingyan was more inclined to believe that the late emperor knew that it was the third prince and the concubines who framed Shen Changshan, but the prince's words and deeds represented the royal face.
If there is no punishment at all, it means that the Third Prince is disrespectful to his teacher, so he can only be punished slightly to prove Shen Changshan's guilt and preserve the Third Prince's reputation.
Or maybe it was the late emperor who set up the trap. He did this to achieve a certain purpose, and only after Shen Changshan satisfied his purpose did the late emperor relent.
Students who can enter the Imperial Academy are pillars of the country.
The late emperor plotted against Shen Changshan, and he must have been afraid that Shen Changshan would be dissatisfied with the court. How could he dare to let him teach the future pillars of Wei?
In a world where teachers are respected, teachers have a great influence on students, but the status of teachers who teach elective courses is much lower in the hearts of students.
Wei Qingyan thought about a lot in a flash, and she continued to ask, "What year did that happen?"
"When I was seven years old, that was twenty-three years ago." Qin Sixian remembered it clearly.
It was the first time my father left home, and it was after he suffered a setback, so he was very worried.
Twenty-three years ago?
Wei Qingyan's hands suddenly clenched under his sleeves.
How coincidental, it was twenty-three years ago again?
"You said earlier that after your father was expelled from the Imperial College, he locked himself in his study for a few days before going to the north to relocate his grave, right?
How long did he take to return, and who went with him?"
"Father left with the escort agency on his own and was gone for about half a year."
Qin Sixian recalled, "It shouldn't have taken that long, but my father was dismissed from his post and went out to move the graves and relax, so it took some time."
Wei Qingyan lowered his eyes slightly.
Let’s not talk about whether a person who returns to his hometown to move a grave has the mind to have fun on the way.
Shen Changshan came to Beijing at the age of seventeen and got married two years later. By the time Qin Sixian was seven years old, he had been in the capital for nearly ten years.
During these ten years, it is impossible that he did not have time to return to the north to relocate the graves of his family members who died tragically.
But they waited until twenty-three years ago to move the grave. Was it a coincidence, or was it to cover up something?
Just as she was thinking this, she heard Shi Yu ask, "Do you know which escort agency we hired?"
Qin Sixian shook his head, "I don't know."
Qin Sixian was not sure whether his father's move to the north to relocate the grave was related to resentment.
But what he was sure of was that Prince Rong asked this question obviously to find out what his father meant.
His previous suspicions about his father's identity were still in his heart. He hoped that his father's resentment could be resolved as soon as possible in exchange for the safety of the Qin family.
But secretly, he didn't want his father's past to be dug up by others, which would cause a whole mess, no matter whether that person was Shen Changshan from Furong County or not.
He is their mother's bedfellow and the father of their brothers.
Shen Siyuan said, "I may know that my father left the Ping An Escort Agency.
After I started my business, I inevitably had to deal with escort agencies when traveling to various places. One of the escort agencies I often cooperated with was Ping An Escort Agency.
After the old shopkeeper knew my identity, he asked me to say hello to my father.
I was curious about how my father, who seldom went out, could know people from the escort agency, so I asked him more questions.
The old shopkeeper laughed and said that he had been to the north with his father many years ago. I think it might have been that time.
After thinking for a while, he finally asked, "What are you suspicious of?"
Mr. Shen didn't like reading, and his brain might not be as smart as his eldest brother's, but he wasn't stupid either.
The biggest suspicion is that my father is resentful.
Wei Qingyan couldn't express his conjecture to the brothers for the time being, so he could only vaguely say, "Your father's hints are limited. The more we understand, the sooner we will know his true obsession."
Then she changed the subject, "How is your parents' relationship?"
Qin Sixian glanced at Wei Qingyan with his deep eyes, and then said thoughtfully, "Just like many couples in this capital who got married by their parents' orders, they respect each other like guests and never quarrel."
He emphasized the last four words.
Wei Qingyan understood.
Another meaning of this statement is that the couple get along harmoniously, but they don't have deep feelings for each other.
Is there any couple in the world who doesn’t quarrel?
Sometimes, being willing to argue with someone is actually a sign of care and expectation.
Only by not loving and not caring can you tolerate everything with a distance and courtesy.
What she didn't tell anyone was that her woman's intuition told her that in Shen Changshan's obsession, the young man and the young woman didn't seem to be running away, but more like eloping.
The fact that he was willing to elope with the woman showed that he had deep feelings for her.
Ordinary men become son-in-law either for love or for their future.
Shen Changshan doesn't love Miss Qin, and his future is also earned by himself...
Only at this moment did Wei Qingyan become truly curious about Shen Changshan.
"Does your father have other concubines?"
"There is a concubine named Feng, whom my father married after returning from the north. She has no children."
Without waiting for Wei Qingyan to ask where Aunt Feng was now.
Qin Sixian took the initiative to say, "Six years ago, Aunt Feng died of illness."
Because of his recent speculation about the late emperor, Wei Qingyan is now particularly sensitive to numbers.
Six years ago, the late emperor passed away!
