The emperor declared me again

Chapter 459
Member Wu stroked his mustache and guessed, "Maybe he didn't want to bother his wife? Since he is from a scholarly family, he must save face. To what extent would he go to a married woman? But then again, after so many years As long as you inquire carefully, you can know what status your father-in-law has achieved as an official. Even if you don't defect, you can ask your mother-in-law to help out a little, right?

However, it's too strange that I haven't contacted my mother-in-law for so many years. "

"It's really strange, or maybe it's because I didn't know the truth from my wife at the time, so I was too embarrassed to find someone? According to the letter, it was said that I started a small business and made money and wanted to go to Fucheng to try my luck. Losing contact, this may be a helpless move, but it is also a concealment from the in-laws, maybe because I felt that the way I did it at the beginning was too outlandish, so I was embarrassed to look for it later?"

"Then this is too calm, isn't it? Not to mention the past, even if they hadn't inquired about it before, but now the Nian family is famous, with proper relatives, and a concubine who favors the sixth palace. This won't Don’t you know?” Wu Yuanwai couldn’t believe it.

Young Master Wu shrugged and said, "I don't know about that."

Wu Yuanwai pondered for a while, and said: "In this case, son, you should put down what you are doing these few days and focus on finding people. As long as they are surnamed Xie, bring them all back, and then identify them one by one according to the information in the letter. .”

At this time, Young Master Wu thought of another possibility, "Will the Xie family change their names? If it is really because of offending someone as guessed, then we must avoid the enemy, and it is not enough to go north , the only way to be truly safe is to change your name and surname.”

Wu Yuanwai didn't expect this possibility, "Then how do you find it like this?"

"The name has changed, and the date of birth may not necessarily change. After all, it is impossible for the enemy to know such a private matter as the date of birth, right?"

Wu Yuanwai's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "That's right, what you said is that the enemy knows the name at most, but not the date of birth. Then go to the county magistrate and compare them one by one according to the household registration book."

"Okay." Young Master Wu nodded, "Since this is the case, it must take a long time. I'll write back to my sister first."

Member Wu waved his hand, "Go."

In the evening, Nianfu.

Mrs. Wu received a letter from her brother, and after reading the letter, she looked at Mrs. Nian again and said, "Mother, my brother said in the letter that the Xie families in his impression don't quite match the situation you mentioned, mother. So my brother thought that in order to avoid enemies, the whole family changed their names and surnames, and it took a little time to go to the county government to find someone according to their birth date."

When Mrs. Nian heard the news, she was not disappointed, but rather happy, "Is this true? But why would my parents and brothers prefer to change their names and settle down near the capital, rather than come to me?"

Mrs. Wu hesitated for a while, but decided to speak out, "Brother thinks that the person who offended back then may have a lot of background. Dad's official position was not high back then, and mother, you are a married woman. I don't want to implicate you."

Mrs. Nian froze for a moment, then said, "It's a big deal?"

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Nian seemed to think of something, and her face turned pale.

Nian Lingzhen, who was next to him, saw it and quickly asked, "Lan'er, what's wrong with you?"

"There is a place in the south, which is the fiefdom of King Yu"
