Rebirth: From being expelled from the imperial court to becoming a high-ranking official

The child seemed very afraid of being sent back to the Han family. He was about to cry and shook his head desperately.

Qin Yunhe sighed.

"Do you miss your mother?"

"Hmm..." Awei's tears fell down.

This is probably because you are not used to leaving familiar places and familiar people suddenly.

"If you miss home, why don't you write a letter and ask your mother to come and see you. Or ask Han Jingli to send you back to see your mother? Han Jingli loves you so much, how can he not agree to your request?"

Han went through so much trouble to bring the child back, he must have treated her like a treasure. Even if the child couldn't adapt, he shouldn't have run away on his own.

Aswei cried loudly.

"Didn't Han Jingli allow you to see your mother?"

Awei was still crying and didn't bother to answer Qin Yunhe's questions.

Everyone in the room looked at each other helplessly and could only wait for Awei to finish crying.

I don’t know how long it took, but Awei finally stopped crying and slowly calmed down.

Xiao You silently handed over a cup of tea from the side.

Awei took it and drank it in two sips. It was obvious that he was really thirsty.

After drinking, he looked at Qin Yunhe and the others with fear, looking so small and lonely, and very pitiful.

"Sir, we heard a little rumor...someone in the Han Mansion said that Han Jingli took the wrong child. I don't know if it's true or not."

Qin Yun was speechless. How could he answer it wrong?

Awei seemed to have finally mustered up some courage and suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Yunhe.

Qin Yunhe was startled and quickly pulled him up.

Li Chang said, "Little boy, tell me what's going on with you. I will definitely make a decision for you."

Awei grabbed one of his sleeves with both hands and pulled it, without saying a word.

Qin Yunhe asked him, "Why did you run away by yourself? The Han family...isn't it good for you?"

"They said my uncle is their child," Ah Wei said with tears in his eyes, choking up, "I want to go home, I miss my mother..."

"Uncle, your uncle?"

"Ah."

How could the Han family take the wrong child after taking him back with such fanfare? And how could it be so outrageous?

"Woooooooo..."

"Awei, stop crying. Your uncle and you...how could they think they made a mistake?"

"My uncle is the same age as me. They say that my uncle is the child of the Han family and that I am his uncle."

This is not going to be easy.

It’s not appropriate not to tell Han that the child is here.

Let me tell you, it doesn’t seem appropriate.

After thinking for a long time, Qin Yunhe said: "Awei, I'm afraid I can't send you away now."

Qin Yunhe saw Ah Wei's face turn pale, and hurriedly continued: "How about this, I'll send someone to fetch your mother and let her come to pick you up?"

Aswei nodded quickly.

"Xiao You, take Awei back first."

After Awei left, Qin Yunhe wrote a visiting card and asked someone to deliver it to Han's house.

It's really not convenient to send someone to talk about this.

After the court session ended the next day, Qin Yunhe visited Han's house as scheduled.

As soon as Qin Yunhe was invited into the Han family's gate, Han Jingli came out to greet him with a smile on his face.

"Lord Qin has come to visit us. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person."

Qin Yunhe and Han Jingli were just nodding acquaintances. Han Jingli was actually a little puzzled by Qin Yunhe's sudden visit.

Qin Yunhe quickly bowed and said, "Lord Han, you are too polite. I am sorry for coming to visit you."

The two men were polite to each other and then walked into the main hall humbly.

After the tea was served, Han Jingli got straight to the point and said, "I wonder if Lord Qin is visiting you. Is there anything important you want me to do?"

The two of them really didn't have much in common, and he would only visit because he had something to do.

"No, no, Lord Han, you are too polite. I do have something to report to Lord Han this time.

A few days ago, I took my family out of town for an outing, and found a little kid in a peach forest outside the city..."

After hearing this, Han Jingli was stunned, and then his expression became a little unnatural.

Qin Yunhe continued, "The kid claimed to be a clerk from Mr. Zhao's medicine shop in Fuyuan County... His name is A Wei."

Qin Yunhe didn't know how to explain the rumors he heard. After all, it was the Han family's private matter.

Fortunately, he didn't have to think about what to say. Han Jingli asked directly: "Where is the child now?"

"I have settled him in my hall."

Han Jingli didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Thank you for troubling Master Qin. I will send someone to bring him back later."

Qin Yunhe didn't expect that Han Jingli would directly say that he would bring the person back before he could finish his words.

He doesn't have the bad habit of people in official circles of going around in circles.

But... isn't it too... straightforward?

"Master Han, that child doesn't seem to want to come back, otherwise I would have sent someone to send him back directly..."

Han Jingli frowned and looked at Qin Yunhe, saying unhappily: "Master Qin, this is my family affair, I hope you don't get involved."

Seeing how quickly Han Jingli changed his attitude, Qin Yunhe felt that he could understand why Awei was unwilling to come back.

Not to mention doubting that he is not his biological son, even if he is really his biological son, he would still be afraid.

Qin Yunhe looked at Han Jingli with a complicated expression and thought for a while before speaking.

"Don't blame me, Mr. Han. I don't mean to interfere in your family affairs. The child was frightened outside the city. I'm afraid that he will need a long time to adjust to the new place after he has just recovered a little..."

Han Jingli's expression still didn't improve much, but he tried to be as calm as possible. "I know that Lord Qin may have heard some rumors, but I promise that no matter whether the child is mine or not, my Han family has never treated him unfairly."

"... Mr. Han has misunderstood. Qin also knows that the Han family will not treat the child badly. Otherwise, they would not have come to visit today and told me specifically. I guess the child must have heard some gossip and is worried."

After hearing this, Han Jingli took a deep breath and seemed to calm down a little.

"I am no less upset than the child. To be honest, my Han family made such a big fuss to let the child return to his ancestral home, but it didn't take long for us to find out that someone had deceived us. How can this not make people angry?"

"Yes, Qin understands."

Han Jingli couldn't stop talking after he started. "I don't know how the servants spread the word, but I just want to find Zhao Wei to exchange the child back. I didn't treat the child badly in terms of clothing and food..."

"Yes, Qin saw that the boy was well dressed, so I was a little skeptical when he said he was a clerk in a drug store."

Han Jingli seemed to look better.

"You said, I just want to get my own child back, why can't I do that? That Wei family is so annoying, she actually gave me her brother as her son and refused to acknowledge him..."

"Uh..." Qin Yunhe was really curious: "Master Han, why do you think Awei is not your biological son?"

"Master Qin, you don't know. Ever since I brought this child back, I've noticed that he is taciturn and timid. He doesn't look like a child of my Han family at all. He is also very thin and small. How can he look like me at all?"

Qin Yunhe looked at Han Jing's sturdy figure and thought that he did not look like him. But when he looked at his features, he felt that they looked somewhat similar.

"Master Han, to be honest, I think Ah Wei and Master Han have some similarities in their facial features."

Han Jingli waved his hand, signaling Qin Yunhe to continue listening to him.

"Master Qin, you don't know. I became suspicious that day and sent people back to Fuyuan County to investigate. As a result, the servants came back to report that in addition to Awei, there was also a young man in his teens in the Zhao family's medicine shop. He was chubby and had a sharp tongue. The servant said that he looked exactly like my Han family.

And the servants found out privately that the child was also brought to the Zhao family by Wei, and was the same age as Ah Wei. You say I am talking nonsense? And Ah Wei, it sounds like the child of the Wei family. "

When Qin Yunhe heard this, he felt that it seemed to be the case, however.

"Has your Excellency seen the other child with your own eyes?"

“Fuyuan County is a long way away, and I have been busy with a lot of things in the office recently, so I can’t get away at all. I had no choice but to send my men to negotiate with Wei.

I just want her to bring another child and exchange the two children.

Who knew that Wei was so unreasonable. Not only did he not give me that child, he even asked me to send this child back.

How can I send her back? What if she doesn’t give me my own child?”

After listening to this, Qin Yunhe pondered for a long time and said, "Master Han, since I have met this child, it can be considered fate. How about I come to mediate? I will send someone to bring Wei here, and you can confront each other face to face. What do you think?"

"That's good, but I'm afraid she won't come."
