The Haitang Courtyard is brightly lit with candlelight.

"What?" Tang Chujun asked in surprise, "Is Fifteen really Mrs. Huo's biological son? But isn't Fifteen's brother?"

What a thunder!

Yu Sujun didn't understand either, "Then why is Mrs. Huo so harsh on her biological son? How about a son who is not his biological son, but he is treated like that?"

Shi Anxia replied warmly, "You're stupid! It is said that Huoshan is also the son of Uncle Huaiyang, but he is not the biological son of the current Mrs. Huo..."

When the old marquis left early, Huo Shiwu's father, Huo Shiming, inherited the title early and was reduced to earl.

When Huo Shiming returned to Zhanzhou to worship his ancestors earlier, he met Ding Yongmei. The two fell in love with each other, committed themselves to each other for life, and got married without encountering any setbacks along the way.

Maybe if it goes too smoothly, God will always give them some problems.

The two had been married for three or four years, but they couldn't conceive a child.

Ding Yongmei was also considered a virtuous man. In his eagerness, he took all the maids who were dowry as concubines to support the Huo family.

Unexpectedly, God always seems to be playing tricks on the Huo family, and several concubines have given birth to daughters.

Ding Yongmei was so worried that she had nothing to do but felt ashamed of her uncle.

One year, Ding Yongmei's sister Ding Yongshan came to the capital to visit. While swimming, I fell in love with my brother-in-law.

But she was worried that her sister Ding Yongmei would be angry, so she boldly told her sister that she was willing to give birth to a child for her brother-in-law. Regardless of whether the child is a boy or a girl, the child belongs to the sister.

Speaking of which, the Ding family is also a prominent family in Zhanzhou and comes from a scholarly family. Of course, daughters are not allowed to marry as concubines. Especially since this sister is the direct daughter of the same mother as Ding, her marriage has already been decided.

Ding Yongmei naturally disagreed.

But I can't stand the girl who is talented, bold, quick-thinking, and willful. That is to say, the family pampers her too much and develops a temperament that is fearless and regardless of the consequences.

Ding Yongshan became emboldened when she saw that her sister Ding Yongmei was only worried about her and was not angry with her for falling in love with her brother-in-law.

On a dark and stormy night, Ding Yongshan secretly dedicated herself to her brother-in-law while he was drunk and sleeping in the study.

The next day, Huo Shiming felt extremely remorseful and confessed to his wife what had happened last night.

Ding Yongmei knew it was her sister's idea, so she didn't blame her husband too much. Instead, she turned a blind eye and let it go.

When she thought about it, it was pointless to blame. Moreover, she married into the Huo family and had nothing to do for several years. Her husband didn't complain about her, her mother-in-law didn't give her a look, and the whole family was harmonious.

Compared with other women who had nothing to do, this was a better ending for her.

Ding Yongmei was thinking about how to tell her parents to let her sister marry into the Huaiyang uncle's house and become an equal wife with her.

After Ding Yongmei made this idea clear, Huo Shiming initially disagreed. But after seeing a ridiculous night, my sister-in-law's stomach actually moved.

This is really... I hit it in one go, and I don’t know what to say.

Huo Shiming agreed to his wife's proposal and repeatedly said, "If you marry a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?"

But Ding Yongshan refused the suggestion of being an equal wife and only said that she would go home after she gave birth to a son for the Huo family.

Speaking of this, Shi Anxia said quietly, "This Ding Yongshan is also a wonderful person. She does what she says and really gives birth to a son for the Huo family. This is Huoshan."

Tang Chujun asked strangely, "Don't she like her brother-in-law? Why doesn't she want to be an equal wife?"

Yu Sujun thought for a while, "Could it be that I don't want to make my sister sad? It's so touching to retire after success."

Shi Anxia's voice became even more indifferent, "It sounds quite touching..."

After Ding Yongshan gave birth to her son, she set off back to Zhanzhou after her confinement period.

No matter how Huo Shiming and Ding Yongmei tried to persuade them to stay, Ding Yongshan was determined to leave.

The couple couldn't keep anyone, so they had to ask someone to take the little girl home.

The two of them thought that after a year or so, they could go home and propose marriage to their little sister, so they could still marry as equal wives.

Unexpectedly, on the way back to Zhanzhou, the little girl passed through Dameng Pass and encountered bandits making trouble. They and the car rushed down the valley, not even a body was intact.

When the news of the death came back to the capital, Huo Shiming and his wife were extremely sad and felt guilty for Ding Yongshan.

The son Ding Yongshan left behind also became the couple's memory of their sister.

The two were worried that the existence of the child would affect Ding Yongshan's reputation after her death, so they unified their approach from top to bottom and replaced a group of servants who knew about it.

In this way, Huoshan became the eldest son of the Huaiyang House. As soon as he passed the spring, Huo Shiming was ready to appoint him as the crown prince.

The debt to Ding Yongshan has become the bane of the couple doting on their eldest son.

Later, the couple gave birth to Huo Shishi.

They always thought that Huo Shiwu had a father and a mother, so it was normal for him to give in to his elder brother, but unexpectedly, his modesty over a trivial matter had now led to a big disaster.

These matters are the secrets of the uncle's house, and will not be written in the general biography. Instead, Ma Chuyi, who is on duty at Dongyu Guards, will come and dictate them personally.

He was grateful to Tang Xinghe for helping to mess up his unwilling marriage, and he was grateful to both Yunqi Academy and Jian'an Marquis Mansion. Therefore, I specially obtained the approval of Chief Yu to personally explain the ins and outs of this secret.

Tang Chujun and Yu Sujun rolled their eyes after hearing this.

Tang Chujun said, "Then you can't be so contemptuous of your own son! This Ding family shouldn't have a child of her own!"

"That's it, let them only love the black-hearted one!" Yu Sujun agreed.

Shi Anxia's heart skipped a beat, "Mother, what did you just say?"

Tang Chujun was stunned, "What did I say? I said...I said Mrs. Huo shouldn't treat her own son like this, it would hurt her son's heart! At first, I thought that Fifteen was in the same situation as Qi'er, either he would be replaced Either way, why is it really his biological child?"

"That's not the sentence." Shi Anxia frowned, suspicion rising in his mind, but he couldn't grasp the essence.

She has always been more thoughtful than others, and she has never been someone who simply believed what others said. She always felt that the more beautiful things sounded, the more unreliable they were.

She asked for a long time, and Tang Chujun mumbled it back and forth again, but in the end he still failed to grasp the very important sentence.

Shi Anxia's thoughts were in turmoil. Seeing that the candle was shortened again, she hurriedly stood up and left, "Mother, I'm going back to Xia Shiyuan. You should also rest early."

Tang Chujun rubbed his temples and said softly, "Go, go, it's been a tiring day. You, don't overthink, you'll be a bigger little person."

Yu Sujun smiled, "No matter how old you are, you are smarter than the rest of us who have been living in vain. Our Xia'er looks like a girl who is stronger than the boys."

While Shi Anxia asked Nan Yan to tie the belt of his cloak for him, he replied, "Auntie, please don't let those in the academy hear what you are saying. They are in the spotlight today."

Yu Sujun laughed, "Yes, yes, the boys in our academy are much better than those outside."

Shi Anxia packed up and left the main room. When passing by the west wing, she heard giggles coming from inside.

She suddenly stopped and said, "I remember that Aunt Han is from Zhanzhou?"
