Xie Zhinan was very excited. This was the first time in her life that his mother had been so nice to him.
She nodded vigorously and said in a crisp and sweet voice, "Thank you, Second Aunt."
"Take Ayixixi back home when you are tired of playing."
"Yes, Princess."
Shen Shurong instructed the nurse, then stood up, took Xie Zhinan's hand, and said with a smile: "Come walk with Second Aunt."
Xie Zhinan glanced at the two burdens with great pride and followed Shen Shurong away.
Yin Zhi Sui Han and Xie Zhinan's wet nurse followed behind, and the group walked around the back garden until they walked into the small house. Chen Shurong left the servants behind and took Xie Zhinan in alone.
The wet nurse was a little puzzled. It was obvious that this room had not been renovated during the renovation of the princess's mansion. Why did the princess bring the eldest young master in and not let her follow?
But she didn't dare to raise any questions. Now the Second Master and the Princess were no longer the same people they used to be. They had become emperors and would soon ascend the throne, so they had to change their words.
Seeing Sui Han Yin Zhi waiting quietly, she followed suit and waited with peace of mind. Perhaps she was overthinking it, the princess would not harm the eldest young master.
When they reached the door of the house, Shen Shurong squatted down and whispered in Xie Zhinan’s ear: “Second Auntie tells you one thing, your father is not dead.”
"What?" Xie Zhinan was shocked, and then his eyes turned red. Dad is not dead?
"Yes, you should thank your second uncle. It was he who guessed that Li Chen would not let your father go, so he designed the fire in the Chaohui Courtyard study. Your father is faking his death and is now in this room. Second Aunt will take you in to see it."
Would my second uncle be so kind? Xie Zhinan didn't believe it.
She wiped away her tears, nodded vigorously, and followed Shen Shurong in.
Look at this dilapidated house, dust falls even when you open the door.
Chen Shurong covered his nose with a handkerchief and took Xie Zhinan in.
The room was even dirtier and messier, and Shen Shurong whispered, “Your second uncle has no choice but to hide your father here for safety reasons.”
Xie Zhinan had already seen Xie Yunzheng, lying on a wooden bed without even a decent quilt.
A raging rage burned in his heart. His second uncle was claiming to be saving his father, but he was clearly torturing his father!
Even if we want to hide our tracks, even if we have to live in this shabby house that no one pays attention to, can't the interior be arranged better?
I glanced at my mother. She was so stupid to believe my second uncle’s lies. I guess I still think that my second uncle loves my brother very much, right?
No, the door opening made a loud noise, why is Dad lying there motionless?
Xie Zhinan ran over with his short legs, climbed onto the wooden board, grabbed Xie Yunzheng's arm and tried to shake it, but found that he couldn't lift it at all.
He panicked, grabbed his hand, and began to call out: "Dad, Dad, Anan is here, wake up?"
"Don't worry, Anan. Your second uncle said that when he rescued your father, he accidentally injured him. He will recover slowly. Don't worry, your father is his brother. He will live here from now on. He will treat your father well."
"It's not like that?" Xie Zhinan couldn't help but growled.
Tears followed like beads that had broken off the string. What did mother know? My second uncle hates my father.
It was clearly my second uncle who caused my dad’s injury, but he didn’t arrange a good life for him and even lied to my mom that it was for his own good.
His mother believed everything he said, which made him so angry.
"Don't cry, Anan. Your father is just in a deep sleep. If you call him, he will wake up soon."
Xie Zhinan shook Xie Yunzheng's hand vigorously, and finally the man on the bed responded.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw Xie Zhinan. He weakly called out "Anan" and wanted to reach out and touch his head, but he was powerless.
"Dad, it's all because of my second uncle. It must be my second uncle who harmed you."
Shen Shurong looked dissatisfied, and his tone became heavier: “Anan, Second Aunt knows you are worried, but your father is still alive, you should thank your Second Uncle.”
Xie Yunzheng slowly turned his head. Yongjia came to see him?
Xie Zhinan got off the bed, ran towards Shen Shurong, wiped away his tears, and said to Shen Shurong: "No, my second uncle has a grudge against my father. He deliberately killed my father. Li Chen died the day after the fire. Why would he need to arrange for my father to fake his death?"
"I don't allow you to say that about him. It seems that your second uncle shouldn't meddle in your affairs." Shen Shurong was angry and turned to leave.
"Mom, I'm your son, how could I lie to you!" Xie Zhinan grabbed her skirt and stopped her from leaving.
Shen Shurong turned back in shock and put the back of his hand on Xie Zhinan’s forehead: “Anan, are you stupid? I am your second aunt.”
"You are my mother." Xie Zhinan pulled Shen Shurong back: "I was reborn. In the previous life, you married my father and gave birth to me. My second uncle was also reborn. He has always loved my mother, so he directly caused my mother to fall into the water in this life and snatched my father and mother's marriage."
"Is this child stupid?" Shen Shurong's face was full of disbelief.
Xie Yunzheng believed it. He had long felt that something was wrong with the drowning incident: "Princess, let Anan continue."
Shen Shurong looked up at him, then looked back at Xie Zhinan: "Okay, go ahead, I'm listening."
Xie Zhinan let go of Chen Shurong, raised his head, and recited the laws of the Great Zhou, determined to make his mother believe that his second uncle was the culprit who destroyed their family of three.
Now that my mother has become the emperor, as long as I can arouse her hatred towards my second uncle, she will definitely stand on my side and will definitely hate my second uncle and his three children.
The throne in the future will still be his, it is destiny!
Chen Shurong and Xie Yunzheng were more and more surprised as they listened. He could actually recite the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty? ! !
After reciting most of it, Xie Zhinan asked, "Mom, do you believe it this time?"
Chen Shurong was still in a daze: "You mean, the prince and I got married because of an engagement, and you were born after marriage, but your second uncle had me in his heart, and he was jealous, so in this life, he deliberately caused me to fall into the water and married me?"
"Exactly."
"Then you said he had a grudge against the prince. What was the grudge? I have already married him in this life. Why did he harm the prince?"
Xie Zhinan suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but in order to make his mother believe him, he still said: "In the previous life, my father was in charge of the treasury. He had to open up water and ship transportation. In order to benefit the people, my father was very busy."
"And mother was just like father. She was faked dead and ended up in the palace, becoming Li Chen's maid. Second uncle thought it was father who did it, so he hated him."
"He rebelled, killed Li Chen, supported the Third Prince to ascend the throne, and placed Dad under house arrest. After Mom died, he tortured Dad every day, and finally fed Dad poisoned wine before he died."
Shen Shurong's heart was shaking, and hatred kept pouring out, but she covered it up with a frightened expression.
"When did I die? When did he kill the prince, and when did he die?"
"You died of illness when you were 28 years old. Your second uncle deposed the third prince and proclaimed himself emperor. When your son was 18, he killed his father and then committed suicide."
Chen Shurong's heart was broken with pain, and his voice was hoarse: "But how do you know that he killed the prince because he loved me?"
"Second uncle's body was not buried in the imperial mausoleum, but he arranged for his trusted followers to be buried with you in secret. He never married in his life and even killed many of his loyal ministers who forced him to marry."
