Chapter 236
Previous Dynasty
Chen Quan hesitated: "Isn't this bad? After all, I raised Xi Ge?"
Although he also felt that the Lu family in Song Yunfei's words was not worthy of his attention, he still had to do things on the scene so that no one could criticize him.
"Uncle, aunt, and my adoptive parents are all honest people."
Lu Sheige bowed and said softly, "When someone sent me to the Lu family, they gave me two hundred taels of silver, saying that they would raise me for a period of time. The Lu family also relied on these two hundred taels of silver. That’s what happened today.”
Chen Quan asked in confusion: "What two hundred taels of silver? Who sent you there?"
Why is it different from what he heard?
"I don't know who sent it, I just heard it was a young master. I was sick when I was sent to the Lu family and almost died. The person who sent me left two hundred taels of silver and said that if I died, he would take me away. After I'm buried, these two hundred taels will be considered as my hard-earned money. If I'm still alive, I'll let them support me for a while, and someone will pick me up in the future."
Lu Sheige said, tears slowly filling his eyes, "Fortunately, I survived so that I could see my uncle and aunt."
After saying this, Empress Shen's tears fell again: "My poor Xiang Ge, you have suffered."
"Okay, you can't cry anymore, please take care of yourself." Chen Quan comforted Queen Shen for a few words, and then asked Lu Xiuge, "How are Lu Quan and his wife treating you?"
"fine."
Lu Sheige sniffed and continued: "Didn't the person who sent me there give me two hundred taels of silver? Later, the Lu family relied on these two hundred taels of silver to start a small business, and they also made some money over the years. If my uncle and aunt want to see them, don't give them any reward. Just like my aunt said, just give them some money. They are country people and very timid. The reward given by my uncle and aunt is too generous. I'm afraid of scaring them. Hold them."
"You, they raised you, and it's too late for my uncle to thank them. How could he scare them? But..." Chen Quan asked tentatively, "After all, they raised you, and they still have to give you some reward. How can they be scared?" Why don't you give your adoptive father a lower-ranking official position? You don't want him to do anything, just be an idle errand?"
"No."
Lu Xiangge waved his hands hurriedly, "Although the Lu family has raised me for many years, and I have called them father and mother for a few years. But when I came to the Lu family, I made an agreement with them that I would not cook for them. Daughter, I will go back when I find my relatives, and we will have nothing to do with each other. They have raised me over the years and given me a shelter from wind and rain, which is pretty good for me. As for me, I have also tried my best to keep them fed and clothed. .It’s OK to give me money and rewards, but not official positions. I can’t let my uncle do favoritism because of me.”
What I said was that I wanted to clarify it, but I didn’t clarify it. I said I didn’t clarify it, but every word of it meant that I wanted to clarify it.
"There is no favoritism, but..." Chen Quan wanted to say that it was just an official title.
Queen Shen changed the subject: "You said you were sick when you arrived at the Lu family? How could you almost die? Didn't the person who sent you say anything?"
"This is here." Lu Xiige pointed to his heart, "An arrow was shot here, and it almost hit the heart. Dr. Xie, who treated me, said that there should be something blocking it, which saved my life Otherwise, I should have been killed by an arrow through the heart. As for the person who sent me there, he didn’t say anything, only lost two hundred taels of silver and left."
Queen Shen's expression changed on the spot: "Who... could be so ruthless and do such a cruel thing to a child."
"It's not that the government did it. They just made excuses to want the food and money of the Yuanshan family. It's also because of the corruption of the previous dynasty and the unkindness of the government that the Yuanshan brothers suffered unjust injustice." Chen Quan sighed, " Well, don't be sad. Now the previous dynasty has been overthrown. You are the queen, I am the emperor, Xi Ge has been found again, and the grievances of Yuan Shan and my little sister have been cleared."
Lu Sheige lowered his head slightly, not noticing the strange look on Queen Shen's face, and not letting himself show any dissatisfaction.
This uncle spoke in a high-sounding way, but did not mention a single word about why Lu Yuanshan was framed by the government.
Collaborating with bandits.
Where did this bandit come from?
If we don’t mention it, can this matter just go away?
dream.
Lu Xiangge pretended not to understand and asked: "Uncle, there is something I can't figure out. My parents are both good people. Although there is some money and food at home, they take great care of the village. Why are you being accused of being a bandit?" Where did this bandit come from?"
Chen Quan glanced at Empress Shen very quickly and was slightly relieved when he saw that she was holding her forehead with one hand and frowning, as if she was still a little uncomfortable. She didn't react to Lu Shenge's words.
He said vaguely: "As I said, it was just an excuse for the previous government to take advantage of your family's money and food."
"It's the former dynasty! The previous dynasty has been destroyed, and even if you want to take revenge, you can't find anyone." Lu Xiige said with regret, "Forget it, it's fortunate that my uncle won this world and was able to give my parents justice."
Chen Quan breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, don't think too much about this matter. Just spend more time with your aunt in the palace from now on."
Lu Shengge's hand held by Queen Shen was trembling slightly. Lu Shenge originally thought it was because she couldn't control her anger. After a slight hesitation, she realized that it was Queen Shen's hand that was trembling.
It turns out that my aunt knew everything, but she couldn't say she couldn't ask, and she couldn't even seek justice for her sister and brother-in-law.
No wonder she was so thin and frail, she couldn't help crying when she saw herself.
Thinking of what his aunt had been through over the years, and of the King of Qin who was also thin and sickly in the palace of Qin, Lu Sheige felt a pain in his heart.
Compared with losing her parents and brother, her aunt's pain was no less painful than hers.
Lu Sheige hurriedly knelt down, hugged Queen Shen's hands, and said softly: "Aunt, from now on, I will stay with you in this palace and not go anywhere, okay?"
Chen Quan saw that Queen Shen's expression was not good, so he thought she felt sorry for Shen Ge, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, I will let Shen Ge stay with you in the palace from now on."
"no."
Empress Shen flatly refused, "Your Majesty, She Ge will be a hairpin girl this year. She is not suitable to live in the harem."
Chen Quan: "The children at home..."
"Not even the children at home." Empress Shen pulled up Lu Shege who was squatting in front of her. "It's not that my aunt doesn't want you to accompany me. You are older and are no longer a child. This harem was originally His Majesty's harem, and you are here Inappropriate."
Lu Xiangge blinked and looked at Queen Shen with a confused look on his face: "I listen to my aunt. Anyway, I have a house in Beijing..."
"You are not allowed to live in that house, as it does not match your status." Empress Shen looked at Chen Quan, "Your Majesty, She Ge is the only child left by my younger sister and Yuan Shan. We should treat her like our own child. .”
Hearing what Empress Shen said, Chen Quan felt more and more relaxed.
This is going to be a new chapter, but it’s just a title. If you give it, you’ll give it.
