Mo Yanliang

Chapter 243 The Royal Family's Secret

Xia Yueliang doesn't like to talk about others in private.

But Yan Jingshen had already talked so much with his uncle just now, and he didn't care if he said a few more words for him.

She didn't even deliberately lower her voice, she simply told the life experience of the second son of Bosi Palace with a normal volume.

Xia Mulang sighed when he heard it.

It's not that he has never heard of a tragic life experience, but this is the first time he has heard of such a tragic life experience for the emperor's grandson.

He couldn't help looking at Yan Jingshen in the distance again.

After going through so many hardships, instead of becoming gloomy and withdrawn, this person is more cheerful and enthusiastic than anyone else.

Not only that, but he has learned so many skills...

Xia Huaimin and Yan Jingshen chatted for an hour, and Xia Yueliang almost fell asleep listening to it.

Xia Mulang was both amused and distressed, and walked over to interrupt the conversation between his father and Yan Jingshen.

Xia Huaimin patted Yan Jingshen on the shoulder, and said to his son, "The Second Young Master is two years younger than you, but his understanding of the art of war is far better than yours. Mu Lang will work hard in the future!"

Yan Jingshen said: "General Xia is over-reputed. The young general has been stationed with you in Shuocheng for so many years, and he has fought several times with the people of Yu State. How can someone who has never been on the battlefield compare to me."

Xia Huaimin said: "It's rare to find a good seed like the Second Young Master in the royal family, no wonder His Majesty attaches so much importance to it, and arranged you to go to the East Camp for training.

Given time, His Majesty will definitely use it again, and the future of the Second Young Master is limitless. "

Of course he was referring to inheriting the throne, but Yan Jingshen said: "I'm a straightforward person, and I don't know what is wrong with the future. I just want to follow my own heart and do whatever I want."

Seeing that he really doesn't look like an ambitious person, Xia Huaimin was even happier.

The two chatted for nearly half an hour.

Xia Mulang had no choice but to order his servants to prepare lunch.

After dinner, both Xia Huaimin and Xia Mulang had things to deal with, Yan Jingshen finally found a chance to talk to Xia Yueliang alone.

"I said Devil Pepper, you are a very nice uncle, but your thinking is too feudal.

If he can be as open-minded and interesting as a teacher, maybe I will ask the old emperor to arrange me to practice in Shuocheng. "

Xia Yueliang sneered and said, "Didn't you two have a good chat just now? I don't remember you being so comfortable in front of my father."

"It's different..."

What the son-in-law is most afraid of is the father-in-law, especially his unknown son-in-law, how dare he offend his dear teacher.

Xia Yueliang snorted: "I don't think there is any difference, it's because you think too much!"

Yan Jingshen said with a chuckle: "Let's not talk about that, why don't we inquire about the Wang family's affairs while it's still early?"

Xia Yueliang had no objection to this, and after dressing up briefly, the two left the General's Mansion together.

The Wang family lived in Shuocheng for a long time, and they have been in the grain business. It is not difficult to inquire about their family's situation.

It turned out that Wang Dexian, the current patriarch of the Wang family, was not the son of the old patriarch, but adopted from a side branch.

Moreover, it was not the old Patriarch who adopted him, but the old Patriarch's wife, Qian Shi.

The Qian family was young and widowed, and it was not until five years after the death of the old patriarch that he planned to adopt a son under the persuasion of the clan.

At that time, Wang Dexian was still in his infancy, and he was the most suitable candidate among all the children of the Wang clan. The Qian family fell in love with him immediately.

Xia Yueliang and Yan Jingshen made a simple calculation. The current head of the Wang family is in his early forties, so if the Qian family is still alive, he should be in his 60s.

Wen old fox is not yet sixty, could it be...

The two had a tacit understanding and thought of one thing at the same time.

——Could it be that Mrs. Qian just smells the old fox's friend?
Although she is a few years older and a widow, with Wen Laohu's conditions back then, she shouldn't dislike her.

Moreover, although the Wang family is not considered a wealthy family, compared to the Wen family, it is already a heaven and an underground.

Wen Laohu's parents left early, and the family didn't have any money-making livelihoods. If there was no one to support him, how could he have the conditions to study, and how could he have the opportunity to go to Beijing to catch the exam?
Also, just because Qian Shi is a widow, although the two have a good relationship, Wen Laohu dare not marry her.

After all, the property belongs to the Wang family, and there are so many clan members staring at it. If the Qian family remarries, they probably won't even get a penny.

Know everything, know everything.

The more Xia Yueliang and Yan Jingshen thought about it, the more excited they became, wishing they could go directly to the door to verify.

"Devil Pepper, it's getting late, if your uncle finds out that you have been wandering outside, he will be upset again.

Why don't I send you back home first, and I'll inquire about the rest. "

Xia Yueliang rolled her eyelids: "I've already found out everything I could, what else do you want to know?"

Yan Jingshen smiled and said, "It's definitely not good to ask openly, but I still have secrets.

Wait until I sneak into the Wang family mansion to see what Wang Dexian will do. "

Although they didn't make a big fuss about inquiring about the Wang family today, they didn't deliberately conceal it either.

If Wang Dexian has a problem, he will definitely take action when he hears that someone is out to inquire about the Wang family.

Of course Xia Yueliang understood the truth, but she was a little unwilling.

If all goes well, they should find out the results soon.

At a time like this, she really didn't want to be excluded, she just wanted to see what was going on with her own eyes.

Unfortunately……

When she thought of Xia Huaimin's handsome but rigid face, she really lost all interest.

"Okay, let's go back first."

Yan Jingshen smiled and said, "Devil Pepper, if I didn't rescue you just now, do you think you can bear it?"

"Cut—" Xia Yueliang gave him a cold look: "You look down on me too much. Isn't it just to let the elders say a few words, it's not like I haven't experienced this kind of thing before."

Yan Jingshen was at a loss for words for a moment, and couldn't help but think of things from his previous life.

The Yan family is a big family, but his grandfather only has one son, his father, and the rest are all daughters.

However, Grandpa has many brothers, and none of them have any skills, so they live off the company's annual dividends.

Because he didn't listen to the arrangements of his elders and took the military academy exam on his own initiative, those people's minds started to move.

After all, grandpa is old and dad is useless, so the company must be succeeded by someone.

Not only them, but Grandpa actually had the same plan, wanting to choose a suitable heir from the younger generation of the Yan family.

Who knows that his old man's idea has not been put into action yet, he married Xia Yueliang.

Her appearance, like rain from the sky, directly relieved Grandpa's longing.

Grandpa started from scratch back then, and the company has nothing to do with the rest of the Yan family.

If he could choose, of course he would only hand over his career to his children and grandchildren, not his nephews.

The son is unreliable, and the grandson is not interested in doing business. Fortunately, he found a capable grandson-in-law for him.

Although Xia Yueliang was young, her ability was far superior to that of the Yan family's younger generation. Grandpa was very satisfied, and the matter of choosing an heir was shelved and never mentioned again.
