Chapter 9 Don’t let people cripple you

"Why don't you leave him behind until I come back?" Xia Chixiao frowned. After learning that Xia Zhenyuan was driven away, he asked Shen Xia to pay more attention. He might be the son of his father and mother.

The evidence brought by Marquis Liyang and his wife and the information he found from that year showed that King Qing almost succeeded in his rebellion, and the capital was filled with blood and chaos.

For the convenience of protection, all the officials and their families were arranged in one hall.

The cry of killing could be heard faintly from outside, and life could end at this moment at any time. The panic of those wealthy ladies was no less than that of ordinary people.

Shocked and frightened, four women gave birth prematurely at the same time that night. It was a stormy place, the people were in chaos, and the place was dark.

There was not even a Wen Po, and the servants were scattered around. After the children were born, they were put together. At that time, the wrong four children were replaced, or only the wrong children were replaced by the Xia family and the Pei family. The third child was not found. Before the four families, I didn’t know.

As for the other two families, one committed a crime and the whole family was exiled for three thousand miles; one was exiled and the whole family left Beijing to take a new post. Both families had been away from Beijing for more than ten years.

Although there was only a one-third chance, Xia Chixiao couldn't help but be concerned.

Xia Zhenyuan has no relatives in the capital.It would be nice if his dandy friends didn't add insult to injury, but I'm afraid his current situation is not good.

Shen Xia said: "It's not that we didn't stop him, it's that when we knew about it, he had been beaten away long ago. But Huo Ci was looking for him."

Xia Chixiao couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of Xia Zhenyuan's reputation in the capital.

This is a well-known dandy, uneducated and incompetent in both literature and martial arts. He is afraid of hardship but also loves fun. He fights cocks and horses, is arrogant and domineering, and is good at fighting and causing trouble.It was hard for Xia Chixiao to imagine that an eldest son would be raised like this.

He said: "Tell Huo Ci that if he is found, there is nothing more to do. Just protect him secretly and be careful not to let anyone kill him!"

How arrogant he was back then, he was so depressed now. Those who had been bullied, scolded, beaten and hurt by him would be surprised if they didn't take action.Xia Chixiao, who originally wanted to take the person in, changed his mind.

This temperament needs to be dealt with. As for whether you want to see him or not, let’s talk about it later!
Shen Xia said: "Yes!"

At this time, a servant came over in a hurry. As soon as he saw Xia Chixiao, he hurriedly said: "Young Master, the Marquis and his wife are looking for you!"

Xia Chixiao recognized him as the long follower beside Marquis Li Yang and said, "Lead the way!"

When Chu Nanning returned, Mrs. Pei had already looked at the door many times.

Seeing her appear, the old man's face showed a relieved smile.

This child had been in the north before, and when he first entered the capital, he was unfamiliar with the place. She was worried!

Chu Nanning smiled and said, "Grandma!"

Just now in the outer courtyard, Jin Feng had already reported everything in the house to her, but she still asked with a smile: "Has the dental technician come? Has grandma picked someone?"

Mrs. Pei hesitated to speak and said: "Ning'er, aren't you going back to the Anyuan Marquis Mansion?"

Since the in-laws are willing to give away a house and a servant, they obviously won't treat Ning'er badly. The child really doesn't have to live with an old woman like her!
Chu Nanning raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "How can a daughter who is married outside come back to live with her parents' family? Grandma, do you think I'm bored and don't want to live with me anymore?"

Mrs. Pei sighed: "How could it be?" Chu Nanning smiled and held her arm, saying: "Grandma, remember, before we found Ting'an, we were each other's only relatives!" After finding Ting'an, she If the person is handed over smoothly, she will be fine and light-hearted!
Mrs. Pei nodded silently.

Seeing that she obviously had something to say, but looked like she didn't know how to say it, Chu Nanning said, "Grandma wants to ask about Uncle Xuanping's mansion, right?"

The old lady raised her head suddenly, her lips trembling: "Have you heard about it?"

"I heard about it!" Chu Nanning paused and said, "The sealing of Xuanping's residence has nothing to do with Ting'an."

The old uncle of Xuanping's house, his uncle and his son are all in the north. In the uncle's house in the capital, live the old uncle's two concubines.At first, the old man's first wife had nothing to do, so he took two concubines for the old uncle, gave birth to two sons, and raised them under the knees of their respective biological mothers.

After the death of his first wife, the old man married the current Mrs. Pei as his second wife. Mrs. Pei followed the army and gave birth to his legitimate son Pei Zhang in the north.When Pei Zhang was 17 years old, his old uncle died in battle, and he became the heir to the throne.

At that time, the old uncle's two sons-in-law were married and still lived in the capital, but the principal wife and the legitimate son had been fighting in the north.

When Pei Zhang died in battle, his wife died in love, Pei Ting'an disappeared on the battlefield, and news of his unknown life and death spread back to the capital, the two bastards, who were pampered by their respective biological mothers, felt that they were the only ones worthy of inheriting the title of Earl.

The two of them used their own methods, which made the people in the capital quite lively.

Originally, the Holy Emperor prayed for the loyalty of Uncle Xuan Ping, but now that his only grandson is in danger, he ignored the affairs of Uncle Xuan Ping's house.

Unexpectedly, they lost their minds and ended up causing trouble. Emperor Qi Sheng was so angry that he took back the title of the Duke's mansion and drove the two bastards out of the capital.

It's been more than two years since this happened.

When she heard what had happened, Mrs. Pei's face turned livid and she said bitterly: "You are a scoundrel, you are not worthy of being the son of the Pei family!" If they don't look so ugly, when she returns to Beijing, as long as they treat Ning'er well, she can choose the best to inherit the title. .

But now, the titles and reputations gained by the ancestors through bloody battles have been destroyed in the hands of these two villains, and even the Xuanping Mansion no longer exists!
Chu Nanning was relieved for her and said: "Grandma, don't be angry. Although those two people are indeed crazy, this matter has nothing to do with Ting'an. This shows that the rumors about Qingning Mansion in the north are not true!"

Mrs. Pei let out a long breath. The expression on her wrinkled face was vicissitudes of life and complicated. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Uncle Xuanping's mansion is gone, but as long as Ting'an has no cartilage and doesn't surrender to the enemy, even if he dies in battle, it is just the fate of a military commander, and Uncle Xuanping's mansion is not in danger!

She grabbed Chu Nanning's hand and stared at Chu Nanning closely, as if asking, or asking for a white lie to support her shattered hope: "Ning'er, Ting'an, he must be alive." Right?"

She held it a little tight, and the calluses on her rough palms made Chu Nanning feel a little sad.

In that battle, more than a month after Pei Ting'an left in a hurry, they were escorted away. Then, the battle was defeated and three cities were lost.

In the past three years, they have become refugees from the family members of Bofu, from Chaoyuan Mansion to Qingning Mansion, although the three lost cities were later recovered.But the two of them could only survive with their own hands, and their lives were difficult.

Chu Nanning moved her lips, and then said firmly: "He must be alive!"

She must live, she has to leave sooner or later!

The atmosphere was a bit gloomy. Her eyes flashed and she said with a smile: "Grandma, I have good news. Do you want to hear it?"
