Rong Tan's heart sank, and he heard the master say, "It's about your background..."

"My life experience?" Rong Tan was taken aback, looking into the eyes of the old master.

"You...you are not actually the second son of the Rong family, you..." The old master coughed suddenly, and Rong Tan pressed him blankly, he was so shocked that he couldn't be more shocked.

"...What does this mean, I am not the second son of the Rong family, so who am I?"

"Don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly..."

"Master, are you serious? I am not Rong's son? Then who am I?"

The master took a breath for a while, and then said: "Fan Shoufu is cunning and gloomy. Since he came to power, he has tried his best to suppress the other four families, and the Rong family, as the previous family in power, is even more of a thorn in his side. Back then, the Rong family The eldest son Rong De entered the capital city as a hostage, but was poisoned to death for no reason. The eldest son was dead, and the only second son of the Rong family, Rong Tan, wanted to succeed his elder brother and entered the capital city, but he was intercepted and killed on the way. Fortunately, he was escorted I escaped by desperately protecting him. At that time, I thought it was the Fan family's intention to exterminate the Rong family, so Li Daitao stiffened and chose another child of the same age to replace the second son of the Rong family. He entered the capital and raised him in Zhaoting. "

"That child is me?" Rong Tan asked blankly.

The master closed his eyes and nodded: "Master Rong Ying also knows about this matter, and also acquiesced to this matter, so you are actually not the son of the Rong family, you just..."

"I'm just a scapegoat." Rong Tan said.

"Thanks to my strict supervision, Fan Shoufu also restrained himself later, and did not kill you again. As the son of the Rong family, you... did a good job."

"Then who am I?"

"You are... my son."

Rong Tan immediately let go of the master's hand, stood up, and looked down at him.

The old master burst into tears: "The tiger's poison does not eat its sons. Although I am a father, I have given up my son. I..."

"Master is really a role model for courtiers. He played such a good show of Cheng Ying saving orphans. But I don't understand. Is the friendship between master and servant really closer than blood relationship between father and son?"

"The Rong family has shown great kindness to our Li family. At that time, we could only protect the only son of the Rong family..."

"Who is the only son of the Rong family?!"

Rong Tan looked at the master, but saw that the master's lips were trembling, but he couldn't speak. It was obviously in extreme pain. Probably at this moment, the pain in his heart was not much less than the pain in his body.Rong Tan saw blood stains on his chest again, couldn't bear it, clenched his fists and turned his head away from looking.

The news was so sudden that he couldn't accept it for a while.He pursed his lips tightly and asked again, "Who is it?"

Several people in the court quickly flashed through his mind, and there was only one person who was the closest to him...

"It's Li Mu?" He felt it was ridiculous, and turned to look at the old master: "It's Li Mu?! Your favorite eldest son?"

"That's right," he said without waiting for the master to speak, "No wonder you treat him differently from others, and you don't want him to suffer a little bit of grievance, so teach him carefully. It turns out that he is your master."

"Detective Rong!"

Rong Tanwenyan turned his head away, but saw Li Mu walking in with an ugly face.

But he took a step back, looked at Li Mu, and smiled.

"You came just in time. There is something ridiculous that I was about to tell you. The old master said just now..." He looked at Li Mu's face, suddenly realized something, and sneered, "You already knew, Is it?"

Li Mu didn't speak, but sat on the edge of the bed, holding the wound for the old master, his hand was stained red with blood.

"You knew it a long time ago, didn't you? When did you know it, since you were a child?"

"Rong Tan," the master yelled anxiously, "You hold your breath."

Rong Tan's face was ugly, he turned his head to look at the old master, and said: "Then you shouldn't tell me, you should take this secret to the grave! Why are you telling me now? Oh, I know, we are already safe We have arrived at Donghe, so I, the young master of the Rong family, should also give up my seat, right?"

"We never thought of taking your place as the young master of the Rong family," Li Mu said, "At least I never did. The young master of the Rong family is you, and it will only be you in the future."

Because it was difficult to accept it for a while, Rong Tan also thought it was disgusting when he looked at Li Mu at this time, so he sneered and said, "Yes, the young master of the Rong family is me, and I was born to be your substitute. Do you think this How willing am I to be the young master of the Rong family? I have been imprisoned all my life because I was born the son of the most loyal retainer in the world."

"Rong Tan," Li Mu said, "Are you really going to hurt his heart by saying this?"

"I'm dying, please forgive me, I'm telling you this, just to save your life." The master's breath became short of breath, and after a while, he said, "Master Rongying promised me, If you can listen to his arrangements, he can let you live."

"You..." Rong Tan looked at Rong Tan: "Are you trying to save my life or him?"

"I didn't know that Lord Rong Ying had ordered you to be killed before he died," said the old master, "If I knew, I wouldn't call you back, I..."

Unexpectedly, Li Mu was shocked when he heard this: "My father wants to kill him?"

Rong Tan heard Li Mu call Rong Ying his father, and he called Rong Ying so naturally, obviously it wasn't the first time he called Rong Ying, probably all these years, he just kept it from him.He sneered, and said: "The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooking, Mr. Rong is a brilliant move."

"I can't blame him. The hundreds of years of the Rong family's foundation cannot be handed over to someone with a foreign surname. It's just that I thought he would miss my old friendship and think of a way not to hurt you. He... There are so many people in power. As a last resort, he must have difficulties."

"So the half-corpse we met was also arranged by him before he died?" He said and looked at Li Mu: "Then he really miscalculated. He planned to kill me, a fake, but never thought that he would almost kill his own son. You have harmed your best friend, the most loyal retainer in the world."

"Rong Tan..." Li Mu said again, but this time he lacked a lot of confidence: "Listen to the master."

The old master said: "This half corpse was not his idea, he just told Third Master Rong to find a way...to get rid of you. Although Li Mu is the real son of the Rong family, he grew up in the name of the son of the Li family since childhood." Well, everyone in the court knows, and with the Fan family in power, it is impossible for him to be Mr. Rong again in his life. No one will admit it, and the Fan family can't tolerate him. We dare not let the Fan family know that we have deceived them so much Over the years, all we have done is to stay in the same line with the Rong family. The position of the Rong family has been passed on to the third master Rong. It's just that you, the son of the Rong family in name, are still there. He wants to If you want to succeed to the throne, the name is not right, so I want to get rid of you. It's just that the third master Rong is more cruel. He is afraid that Li Mu's life will be a hidden danger, so he raised a half-corpse, and wants to kill us all at once. kill."

Rong Tingting pouted his lips: "This is the kind of person who should be the head of the family, he is cruel enough."

"Right now he can't kill us even with two tricks. He is worried that Fan has become suspicious, so he wants to turn hostility into friendship. Rong Tan, I know you are angry at us for lying to you. Right now, I wish I would die immediately, but you have to take the overall situation into consideration. The most important thing is that the lives of these people are all in your hands. Even if you ignore me and Li Mu, Li Wei is completely unaware that he is your own younger brother, do you have the heart to see him die too?"

Rong Tan was silent for a long time, then raised his head: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"suspended animation."

This idea came from Third Master Rong. As long as Rong Tan faked his death, he would be able to take the position of head of the Rong family, and he would fulfill his promise and send them away from Donghe.

"My life was originally reserved for the Rong family," Rong Tan said, "Since the master said so, I promise."

"At this point, do you still call me Master?"

Rong Tan glanced at the old master, Li Mu shouted, "Rong Tan."

"I am destined to never have the opportunity to call my father in this life. Since I grew up without father and mother, and will live without father and mother in the future, why should I recognize a father at this moment." Rong Tan said: "The master said I'm probably very tired after talking so much, lie down and rest, I'm a little confused and I'm going out."

After he finished speaking, he walked out of the room, walked to the door, and saw Li Wei and Fan Xingzhi standing outside.Li Wei saw him and ran over.

This boy turned out to be his own younger brother, no wonder he liked him so much since he was a child.

Rong Tan grabbed his hand and said after a while: "Your father is seriously injured, you must always be by his side, do you understand?"

Li Wei nodded, Rong Tan let go of him, and said, "Go in."

Third Master Rong smiled all over his face and said, "Tan'er, how are you?"

Rong Tan glanced at him expressionlessly, and said, "Master Rong's offer is very good, the teacher and I are very satisfied."

"In this case, I will arrange everything. Don't worry, I will do what I say."

Fan Xingzhi sent off Third Master Rong and asked, "What conditions did he offer you?"

"It's nothing. This person has a deep mind. For us, he may be a murderous executioner, but for the Rong family, perhaps what is needed is such a patriarch."

He didn't say anything more, although Fan Xingzhi had a good relationship with them, he was from the Fan family after all.For the Fan family, an ignorant dude like him is the most suitable head of the Rong family.With Rong Ming being so thoughtful, Fan probably would not be happy to see him as the head of the Rong family.

Li Mu came out of the room suddenly, and shouted, "Rong Tan, come in quickly, the master is dying soon."

Rong Tan was taken aback, Fan Xingzhi had already walked into the house, walked a few steps and turned around, shouting: "Rong Er."

Rong Tan stood there dumbfounded, with mixed emotions in his heart for a moment, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable, but he couldn't move.

Li Mu was still calling him, but he turned his head away, tears welling up.Li Mu walked towards him quickly, grabbed his arm, and tugged, but failed.

"Don't be impulsive, you will regret it."

Rong Tan only looked at Li Mu's tears and said, "I would rather he die as a master, that way, in my heart, he is no different from my father. Now he is dying as my father, but I don't know What is he in my heart."

Li Wei's wailing suddenly came from the room, and the string in Rong Tan's heart seemed to be broken all of a sudden, he slumped on the ground, covered his face, and began to cry.
