Chapter 53 Whose Child
"Stop talking nonsense, I don't like her at all." Chu Nanxuan frowned and said, "It's not that I don't care about He'er's affairs. It's just that because of the inferior ordnance, I feel uncomfortable being stared at in the court."

"I went to Xie's house to get Xie Wei's support. You all know this."

Xie Xingchen stared at Chu Nanxuan, and gradually became quiet under Chu Nanxuan's affectionate eyes.

But there was still a sense of sadness in my heart.

Xie Xingchen wetted his eyes: "I know it's difficult for you, but when will this end?"

"Be good, Xingchen, don't cry."

Chu Nanxuan hugged Xie Xingchen into his arms, "It will be better after this period of time. I will arrange the yard and caretakers for He'er, and then let him enter Qingshan Academy."

"I'm already in contact with the academy. As you know, Qingshan Academy is the best academy in the capital today."

"Entering Qingshan Academy is like stepping into the officialdom with half a foot. You will have a bright future in the future."

Under Chu Nanxuan's repeated assurances and gentle comfort, Xie Xingchen's resentment quickly dissipated.

"Okay." Xie Xingchen sniffed and said, "I will listen to you."

……

At Wangyue Tower, Xiangrong came to report the news about Yilanyuan and Chu He.

When he heard that Chu Nanxuan had not arranged for Chu He and Xie Xingchen was furious because of this incident, Xie Zhaozhao just said "oh", not surprised at all.

There was no such thing as inferior ordnance in the previous life.

Xie Zhaozhao successfully married Chu Nanxuan and became the general's wife. Chu Nanxuan was also a popular person in front of the emperor and the beloved son-in-law of Duke Liang.

He was so proud of his success that he naturally arranged for Chu He, the "orphan of the deputy general", to do it casually, and he also gained a lot of good reputation.

But in this life, because of Yun Qi's issue of picking out inferior ordnance, Chu Nanxuan was looked upon by the ministers and disliked by Emperor Xuanwu.

I heard that the censor has been impeaching him every day recently.

Chu Nanxuan had a very uncomfortable time in court, so he naturally didn't care about his children's personal affairs.

Moreover, Chu Nanxuan’s mother, Yang, was a harsh and mean person.

She didn't like Xie Xingchen in her previous life, and she was also very disgusted with Chu He.

Of course, Yang didn't like Xie Zhaozhao either.

During that time, something happened to the Xie family. After Xie Xingchen left Beijing, he lived with Xie Zhaozhao and Chu Nanxuan.

Xie Zhaozhao thought that Xie Xingchen and himself were equally rejected by the Yang family and felt that they were in the same boat. Now that he thinks about it, it's all a joke.

A clicking sound sounded.

Xianggui brought herbal tea to relieve the heat.

Xie Zhaozhao took it and asked calmly: "Why do you think a grandmother doesn't like her own grandson?"

"Well, maybe there are too many grandchildren." Xianggui said: "With many children, there will naturally be some that are lovable and some that are not lovable, so you will inevitably favor one over the other."

"There is only one grandson." Xie Zhaozhao looked at Xianggui, "And my son is over [-] years old, and that grandson is his only child."

"This..." Xianggui looked complicated, "It is said that the elderly always like to have grandchildren. If according to the conditions you mentioned, Miss, the grandmother does not like the child, then it may be that the mother of the child is not good, so Isn’t it true that even the grandmother hates the child?”

"Well, it's possible." Xie Zhaozhao nodded.

She remembered that Chu Nanxuan's mother, Yang, was the princess of the previous dynasty and was of noble birth. It was normal for her to look down on Xie Xingchen.

"Maybe the child isn't that man's after all."

Xiangrong suddenly said: "If you get married early and the man is in his mid-twenties, it is impossible to have only one child. I guess there is something wrong with the man and the child is not his biological child."

"Then grandma knows it well and naturally hates it."

Xianggui and Xie Zhaozhao looked at Xiangrong at the same time, with stunned expressions.

"Look what I do?"

Xiangrong said embarrassedly: "It's not impossible. This kind of thing happened in my hometown. The mother-in-law beat and scolded her daughter-in-law and children. She was very mean. Later I found out that men can't give birth and the child was stolen by a woman. Born to a man."

Xianggui sighed, "It seems to be okay." Xie Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows and didn't answer any more.

In fact, Chu Nanxuan was not very kind to Chu He in his previous life.

Chu He had some stubborn diseases in his mother's womb, and later encountered mad rat disease. Chu He did not survive the infection and died young.

He was seven years old when he died, and Chu Nanxuan was not that sad.

It was also because Chu Nanxuan was not too affectionate towards Chu He, so Xie Zhaozhao never doubted that they were father and son in his previous life.

Now what Xiang Rong said, coupled with some detailed memories of the previous life.

Xie Zhaozhao's heart skipped a beat.

That child might not really be Chu Nanxuan’s.

Whose would it be?
……

Early the next morning, Xie Zhaozhao went to Mr. Miao's yard.

She has been coming here every day recently, and has read almost all of the medical books and pharmacopoeias, and has also read half of Mr. Miao's medical manuals.

Mr. Miao was also used to it. When she came, he threw two beginner's notes and told her to sit where she liked and not to get medicinal materials from him.

However, Xie Zhaozhao took the note and said with a smile: "I want to ask you some questions today."

"Oh?" Mr. Miao asked curiously: "What's the problem? I made it clear in advance that you are the old immortal's apprentice, not mine. It is absolutely impossible for you to ask me to teach you medical skills!"

"That's not it." Xie Zhaozhao shook his head, "I just want to ask Mr. Miao, what happens if a child is born with a chronic disease?"

Mr. Miao stroked his beard and said, "It depends on what kind of disease it is, but if you are born with the disease, there is a high probability that there is something wrong with your parents."

"Sheep's horn wind."

"Then the problem must be passed on from the parents to the children." Mr. Miao glanced at Xie Zhaozhao, "Why are you asking this? Do you know a child with epilepsy?"

"Curious." Xie Zhaozhao laughed, said no more, sat down aside, and picked up Mr. Miao's medical notes.

Mr. Miao came up to Xie Zhaozhao and said, "Girl, don't keep my old man's appetite at bay. Who is suffering from epilepsy?"

Xie Zhaozhao smiled slightly: "You have been going to the East Palace quite frequently recently."

Mr. Miao froze.

Xie Zhaozhao added: "You and His Royal Highness King Dingxi have a good personal relationship for no reason. It's really surprising, isn't it?"

"Shut up, shut up!" Mr. Miao said with a stinky face, "I'll pretend I never asked you!"

"Yeah." Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "I think so too."

Next, Xie Zhaozhao carefully looked through the medical notes, intent on looking for some information about epilepsy.

But this disease seems to be rare, and it is not recorded in this manuscript.

Xie Zhaozhao frowned slightly.

Chu He had epilepsy, and it was quite serious.

Xie Xingchen and Dou, including the eldest son Xie Changzhi and second uncle Xie Qing, do not have this disease.

In other words, Chuhe's horn wind was inherited from his biological father.

Chu Nanxuan doesn’t have the horn wind either!

Xie Zhaozhao looked at the medical notes in his hand and twitched his lips in disbelief.

No wonder Chu Nanxuan and Yang didn't care about that child.

He was not of the Chu family's blood in the first place.

So who is Chu He's father?
For Chu Nanxuan to be willing to recognize this son for seven years... things are really bizarre.
