The Duke of Weiguo's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he stared at Aunt Yang again and again. No wonder she never prepared anything red for Chang'er, so it turned out to be like this!
He looked at his mother again. No wonder his mother had such a strange attitude today. It seemed that his biological mother also knew about it!
He had actually raised a son for the Zhu family for so many years, and the entire Duke's Mansion almost became their Zhu family's!
Seeing that Duke Weiguo's expression was becoming increasingly strange, Old Lady Xie and Aunt Yang's faces tightened, and they both felt a sense of fear that a storm was about to come.
Xie Zhichan was a little surprised. She had been thinking about how to give this cheap father some advice so that he could know about red and green color blindness and thus associate it with the truth.
Looking at this cheap dad, he seems to know what color blindness is.
Let the storm come, and the original owner’s resentment can be resolved today.
Just when Master Zhu and Xie Zhining were completely unaware of the strange atmosphere, a table full of Manchu and Han banquets was overturned by Duke Weiguo, and the cups, plates, and bowls were smashed to the ground with a "bang bang", and along with them, the mother-son affection and father-son relationship that Duke Weiguo had had for so many years were also shattered.
Then there was a loud thud and he fell to the ground, fainting.
After all, he was her own son. Old Madam Xie was so frightened that she almost fainted. She quickly ordered the servants to carry Duke Weiguo back to the bedroom and put him on the bed, and at the same time asked the servants to call a doctor.
Xie Zhichan was still thinking of using this stepfather's seed to give her mother a legitimate son, so she couldn't let anything happen to him.
While Madam Xie was discussing something with her brother and nephew, he took Duke Weiguo's pulse and found that he fainted due to anger. Fortunately, it was not a stroke, so he took a pill from the space and fed it to him.
When Old Lady Xie came in with the doctor again, Duke Weiguo had already woken up.
He scanned the room with his eyes and saw that only his mother, his wife, and Chan Jie'er were there. His uncle, cousin, Chang Ge'er, and Aunt Yang were not there. He said to the doctor, "I'm fine. You go out first."
When the doctor saw that the patient was awake, he didn't want him to feel his pulse and left.
Duke Weiguo then said to Xie's mother and Xie Zhichan, "You should also go out first."
Xie Zhichan frowned slightly. She couldn't leave. If she left, the mother and son would still discuss whether Changger should stay or go, and things would not develop according to her expectations.
She said, "Father, I know what you want to discuss with grandmother, but my mother is the mistress of the family and I am the only legitimate daughter of the Duke of Wei. I think it would be better for my mother and I to be present. Besides, father just fainted once and grandmother is old. I am a little bit knowledgeable in medicine, so it is better for both father and grandmother to stay by their side."
Duke Wei thought for a moment and said, "Then stay." He was also afraid of hearing the bloody truth from his mother's mouth, which he would not be able to face alone.
After the discussion, Duke Weiguo looked at Old Lady Xie and asked, "Mother, tell me in person, whose child is Chang'er Yang's concubine?"
Madam Xie's lips trembled for a long time. She knew that she could no longer hide it, so she had to say, "It belongs to the eldest brother of the Zhu family."
Duke Weiguo closed his eyes, then opened them again, as if he didn't recognize the old lady in front of him. He asked in a trembling voice, "He is just your nephew, and I am your biological son. Why did you team up with them to deceive me?! Has it been so long since I married into the Xie family that I only have your family in my heart and eyes?!"
Seeing her son was so sad and about to sever the mother-son relationship, Madam Xie immediately explained, "Shan'er, mother didn't mean it. When I found out that Aunt Yang and Big Brother were having an affair, the doctor diagnosed that you might never have children again. I was also worried that the Duke of Wei's Mansion would be childless, so I asked her to keep Chang'er. In any case, Chang'er, like you, has the blood of the Zhu family flowing in his veins, and is listed in the Xie family's genealogy, so you can just raise him as your own son."
When the Duke of Wei heard that he might not have children, he felt a buzzing in his ears and his body froze. After a long while, he asked, "When did you find out?"
Mrs. Xie was stunned for a moment before she realized what her son was asking. She said with great sorrow, "It was discovered after you caught a cold and had a high fever that winter. We asked a doctor to come to our house to treat you. When the doctor spoke, your wife and Aunt Yang were both around your bed. I saw that the doctor was hesitant to speak, so I called him to the side hall to talk."
After hearing this, Duke Wei stared at the ceiling of the bed for a long while. Then he looked at Mother Xie again, as if he had made a decision.
Just as he was about to speak, Xie Zhichan stopped him, speaking in a calm and gentle voice, as if what he just heard was not a disaster, and said: "Grandmother, father just fainted. I took his pulse and found that it is difficult for him to have an heir. It is just because of the blockage of Yang Qi. I happened to see a prescription for curing this disease in an ancient medical book. Father is only forty now. If you follow the prescription, he will be cured in three months, and then he will have a legitimate son."
In fact, the reason why Duke Weiguo had difficulty in having children was because of his scarce essence. But he was her nominal father after all, so she couldn't say it too bluntly. After all, she could cure the disease.
The Duke of Wei's depressed face instantly regained vitality. Even Old Madam Xie seemed to have regained her youth. She stared at Xie Zhichan with a pair of cloudy eyes and asked, "Sister Chan, can you really cure it?!"
Duke Weiguo seemed to have just remembered his father-in-law whom he had despised for many years, and cried with joy, "Yes! My father-in-law was once the director of the Imperial Hospital, and Sister Chan has a family background in medicine! Sister Chan is really the lucky star of our Xie family!"
Xie Zhichan complained in his heart, now he doesn't talk about her fate? He immediately walked to the desk, picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, wrote down the prescription, handed it to the Duke of Weiguo, and said, "Father, keep this prescription."
Seeing that the Duke of Wei still had a look of disbelief, he said, "Father, if you are interested in the medical book where this prescription came from, I will go back and find it and send it to you. Grandmother can also take a look at it. It's not a bad thing for older people to read some medical books."
Anyway, she just needs to go back and find an ancient medical book, make it look old and add the prescription in it.
Duke Weiguo and Old Madam Xie were finally relieved.
Xie Zhichan smiled mischievously again and continued, "I have also prescribed medicine to take care of mother's health. I promise that if father and mother take the medicine and take care of themselves, I will give you a younger brother within half a year."
Although it is impossible to guarantee whether it is a legitimate son or daughter, a bigger pie in the sky will motivate them more.
After hearing this, Duke Wei couldn't help but look at Xie's mother. He saw that her face was slightly red. Under the candlelight, he felt like he was looking at a beauty under the lamp. He vaguely remembered that when he married her and lifted her veil, she looked this charming and lovely.
All these years, I wrongly blamed her for not being able to give birth to a son, but I didn't expect that it was my own problem. The guilt and pity immediately turned into love, and I made up my mind to treat her well in the future.
Seeing that the old lady Xie of Duke of Weiguo had no more worries, Xie Zhichan said, "Since father and mother can have a legitimate son, the person who has taken over the magpie's nest is probably not suitable to stay in the Duke's Mansion."
When the Duke of Wei thought of Concubine Yang's betrayal, his face suddenly became gloomy again, and he said indignantly: "She committed adultery and disrupted the bloodline of the Duke's Mansion. According to the ancestral system, Concubine Yang should be thrown into a pig cage and drowned in a pond." After saying this, he closed his eyes and paused, and then continued: "Since she is an evil offspring, just beat her to death."
Old Madam Xie almost couldn't stand. After a moment of silence, she said, "After all, Aunt Yang is my sister's child, your cousin. You grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Chang'er, you have treated her like your own child for many years. They are my blood relatives. For my sake, Shan'er, please spare their lives and send them back to the Zhu family."
Although Xie Zhichan didn't like Changger, he had no choice about his birth and was an innocent person in this matter. Moreover, many years later, at the age of eleven, he was not old enough to be sentenced.
Then he said, "Father, please do good deeds for your future brother and send Chang'er back to the Zhu Mansion. But Aunt Yang, grandmother and father want to spare her, but I can't."
