Chapter 141 The Shen Family in Capital City
"I think Qin Huaihai seems to be well prepared. I can't think of anything else other than it's related to your mother. Don't even think about looking for your mother. No matter who your mother is, our Qin family just needs to live our lives steadily."
After Old Lady Qin finished telling this old story that had been weighing on her mind, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, grandma. I will definitely not act rashly and put the Qin family in danger. But I can't understand why my grandson would kill us if the people standing behind Qin Huaihai are really from my mother's family? It is an indelible fact that my mother married my father and gave birth to us."
Qin Ziyan gradually recovered from the news that his mother might still be alive, and he calmly raised his questions.
"If A Niang was born into a noble family, but married a countryman, it would be unacceptable in the eyes of those big families. The harems of the rich and powerful are the most complicated. A Niang was able to drift to this place from such a far place as the capital. Do you think this matter can be simple?"
"As for why they want to kill us all and do everything they can to erase the fact that my mother had once been a peasant woman, it's nothing more than a conflict of interests, or some trivial family strife." Qin Ruo said her guess lightly.
Qin Ziyan nodded. In fact, he had thought of it too.
For a moment he even became suspicious of Shen, wondering if his mother was an insider.
Did she acquiesce to the Qin family's attack? Or did she choose to stand aside and watch?
"Is my mother in danger? Is she imprisoned?" Qin Zimu, who had just felt a little resentful towards Shen, became worried about Shen's safety the next second.
Qin Ruo smiled and patted Qin Zimu's head gently.
"Just now you were complaining about mother not coming back to see us, why are you suddenly worried about her situation?"
"She, she is our mother after all..." Qin Zimu said shyly with a red face.
In fact, he had almost no impression of Shen, but when he heard that his mother might be imprisoned, he felt distressed unconsciously.
Old Mrs. Qin had said everything she needed to say and was waiting for Qin Ruo's reply.
"This matter has not yet been concluded, and it is just our guess. Since our Qin family has been targeted, it is useless to escape. Let's all stay. Our Qin family will not be slaughtered today."
Qin Ruo had no intention of avoiding it, nor did she think of clinging to anyone.
No matter how noble Shen's background was, that was her business and had nothing to do with her, Qin Ruo.
If someone dares to bully her, Qin Ruo will never sit still and wait for death.
Qin Ziyan has grown a lot during this period of time, and he agrees with Qin Ruo's opinion.
If it is true that my mother's family wants to harm the Qin family, once things start, they will not stop until they achieve their goal.
"Master, after hearing what you said, I remembered a family surnamed Shen in Beijing. There is a family with a situation somewhat similar to what you described..." Xun Dong listened quietly for a long time before he spoke carefully.
"Xundong, tell me what's going on." Qin Ruo had originally planned to go into the city tomorrow to talk to the old lady at the Xie Mansion just in case.
"My Lord, when I was with the old lady in the capital, I heard Aunt Zhang mention it inadvertently. Ten years ago, the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion in the capital brought back the eldest daughter who prayed for the old lady in Ganzhou. The eldest daughter's name was Shen Ruyi. At that time, the Marquis' Mansion specially held a banquet for Miss Shen, and even the emperor came in person with his concubines."
Old Mrs. Qin's heart was pounding. When Shen was still in the Qin family, her name was Shen Yiru. Now the name was completely reversed, but there was a high possibility that she was the biological mother of Dalang and the others.
"What happened to Miss Shen later? Did she get married?" Old Mrs. Qin began to have wild thoughts and couldn't wait to ask about Shen's situation.
"Madam, since Miss Shen was found, she rarely goes out except for the banquet she held that time. She also never attends banquets held by other mansions. I heard that she is in poor health and has been recuperating. As for marriage, I have never heard of it. I have been in the capital for so many years, and I have never seen the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion."
"I heard you mention that the master's mother's surname is Shen, and she is from the capital. After thinking about it, this is the only family that can match the name."
"However, the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion has been consistent in saying that Miss Shen stayed in Yuncheng, Ganzhou for five or six years to pray for the old lady of the Marquis Mansion who was in poor health, and she missed her original marriage. Outsiders have no way of knowing whether this is true or not. The time when Miss Shen went to Ganzhou coincided with the situation of the master's mother. As for whether the master and the two young masters' mother are the same person as Miss Shen, I can't say for sure."
After Xun Dong finished speaking, everyone present fell into silence.
Qin Ziyan was deeply shocked. He had a hunch that his mother had something to do with that Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
No wonder A Niang’s family members don’t acknowledge her past.
No wonder A Niang’s eldest brother wanted to erase A Niang’s past.
In the past, if Qin Ziyan knew that his mother had such an identity, he would definitely try every means to get close to her.
Now, after going through so much, he has completely sobered up.
The Qin family really couldn't afford to marry into a wealthy family like the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion, nor did they want to.
Even if I want to meet my mother, I have to rely on my own abilities and stand in front of my mother honestly one day.
"Master, how about I go into the city and go to the Xie Mansion to ask Madam Zhang for some news?" Xun Dong asked worriedly.
"No need. I still say the same thing. This matter has not been concluded yet. Let's leave it at that for now. What is bound to come will eventually come." Qin Ruo rejected Xun Dong's proposal.
Qin Ruo also knew Shen's name.
Considering the reaction of Old Lady Qin, Shen and the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion are most likely the same person.
He suddenly reappeared after many years, and it seems that he really has bad intentions towards the Qin family.
No matter what, this battle will have to be fought sooner or later, unless the Qin family never sets foot in the capital for the rest of their lives.
Seeing that her grandchildren were determined not to leave, Old Lady Qin felt uneasy and had no choice but to go back to her room to rest.
In the Taihe County Inn, Qin Zhengde's wife Wang and second daughter-in-law stood in front of Nanny Tian, who was nearly fifty years old, with flattering faces.
Nanny Tian had a blank expression on her face. She just picked up the tea at hand and suddenly kicked the maid who was serving the tea.
"You blind man, are you trying to burn me to death? Don't you forget who you are?"
The maid was kicked to the ground, grimacing in pain, and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
The other two maids stood by without changing their expressions. They knew Nanny Tian's style of doing things very well. At this moment, she was just using the excuse of the tea being too hot to make indirect accusations against the two ignorant and greedy village women in front of them.
