Chapter 183 Old Events
When he got into the house, Cheng Enhou looked around for a week and knew that the privacy was very good, so he started to talk about it in detail.
It turned out that Cheng'enhou's mother died early when she was young.
In order for his future stepmother to not treat him as the eldest son, his grandparents renewed the daughter of an eighth-rank official family for Old Master Liu. They are the old lady in Cheng'en Hou's Mansion.
Although the old lady is the legitimate daughter of the official family, her mother's family is really poor, so her upbringing can only be considered average.
However, back then, Old Master Liu was not the prime minister, but just a fifth-rank doctor. He married a second wife, so he could not demand too much of the conditions of the woman.
When the old lady first passed by, she was quite good at Chengenhou.
However, when she had her own child, her mind naturally became more biased to her own child. Especially after she had her own male child, her mind became even more biased.
When he was young, Cheng'en Hou rebelled for a while because of the old lady's partiality and harsh treatment.
However, after he met Mrs. Chengen, he restrained himself. Mrs. Chengenen was the daughter of his mentor.
Although he is a good person, he is not a good match.
However, he insisted on marrying the Mu family, who was not well-off. After marriage, he did not take a concubine or raise a family.
This makes some people envious and some people jealous.
In this way, under the envious and jealous eyes of everyone, Mrs. Cheng'en gave birth to the eldest son and the second daughter.
When I gave birth to the second daughter, I thought I could not have children because I was injured. Fortunately, having a son and a daughter was also satisfying.
Unexpectedly, when he was nearly thirty years old, Mrs. Cheng'en gave birth to the third son of his legitimate son.
Now, Chengenhou and his family were very happy. However, Old Lady Liu and Mrs. Liu San were very angry.
Old Mrs. Liu was angry, so naturally the more prosperous the eldest house, the less power and property her biological son received, the less.
Mrs. Liu San was angry because Mr. Liu San was accustomed to sleeping in flowers and sleeping in Liu. Even the eldest son of the San's house was a concubine.
Moreover, because of the birth of the eldest son of the sacred son, she got angry and slipped into the fetus. After the fetus slipped, her body was always sick.
Seeing that I lost my child and was sick and ill, my master was also a dissatisfied person.
On the other hand, the eldest wife was harmonious and happy. So she couldn't help but become envious and jealous.
But so what if you don’t like it, so what if you envy, jealousy and hate it? The long house is still living happily.
However, the good times did not last long. Not only did the father of Mrs. Cheng'enhou's mother's father was implicated and lost his official position due to the affairs in the court, but the whole family was sent to the cell.
Just as Mrs. Cheng'enhou was working hard for her parents' family, her eldest son went away due to illness.
Under the double blow, Mrs. Cheng'enhou fell seriously ill.
Cheng'en Hou endured the pain of losing his son. After finishing his eldest son's funeral, he began to be busy outside for the affairs of his father-in-law's family, so he paid less attention to the mansion.
But because of this, some people began to feel anxious. They only thought that Chengenhou no longer cared about his wife.
At that time, although Old Master Liu was not the prime minister, he was just a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue. However, he had been promoted all the way, and anyone with discerning eyes knew that his career would definitely be unobstructed.
Cheng'en Hou also passed the imperial examination and entered the Ministry of Personnel. Although he was only a fifth-rank doctor, no one dared to underestimate the Wenxuansi Doctor.
Everyone knows that under the escort of Mr. Liu, Cheng'en Hou must have a bright future.
So, at the Lantern Festival lantern festival 20 years ago, the wet nurse of the third son who was bribed and coerced by Mrs. Liu San, took the third son from the official shed on Yong'an East Street to the night market west of Yong'an Bridge at the crowded lantern festival, and handed it over to the kidnapper who had been bribed. Yu'an was quickly taken out of the capital.
It was very late that the wet nurse returned to the mansion and said that the third son of the legitimate son was lost.
Chengenhou was naturally furious. While tied up the wet nurse and threw it into the woodshed, he dispersed the servants in the mansion to search for it.
Of course, it was not found.
So, Cheng'en Hou wanted to report to the official, but Mrs. Liu San tried every means to disturb her, saying that if she was abducted and reported to the official, she would harm the child.
What she said made sense was intimidating everyone for a while.
On the second day, Chengenhou continued to send someone to search and interrogated the wet nurse.
The wet nurse naturally gritted her teeth and said that she was the third son who was stubborn and insisted on running away. She didn't catch up.
While she was complaining about the injustice to everyone, she also said that she was willing to receive punishment. Old Lady Liu even pleaded with her, saying that no one was wrong.
Cheng'en began to use severe punishment in anger, but the wet nurse actually hit the wall and committed suicide.
Of course, the wet nurse was rescued.
Seeing that the punishment did not work, Cheng'en Hou, who came back rationally, secretly reported to the official without hiding it.
There were naturally a capable official in the government office who was specializing in investigation. After several mental tactics and punishments, the wet nurse spoke and pointed out Mrs. Liu San.
It turned out that the wet nurse was no longer paid attention to her in the long room because her child had grown up. She was just a nanny who took care of the child. Her son had made a mistake and could only ask the master of the mansion to help him rescue him.
When she saw that Chengenhou no longer cared about his wife, she thought that Mrs. Hou had fallen out of favor and thought that it was useless to beg for her.
But Chengen Hou Duan was self-restrained and naturally would not easily save the servants who committed the crime.
So he asked for the wife of the third wife, Liu San.
Mrs. Liu San asked her to exchange her life for her life and exchange her life for her son's life.
The wet nurse thought about it for a long time and agreed.
So, Mrs. Liu San used the post from the Minister's Mansion to save the servant who was committing the crime.
Then the wet nurse of the third son agreed to the request to kidnap the third son and hand it over to the kidnap.
When Old Master Liu heard that he was involved in the female relatives in his mansion, he directly sent the capable official with a heavy face.
When the outsiders left and were all from their own mansion, Mrs. Liu San refused to admit it.
However, Old Master Liu had already inferred from the situation at that time, so he began to punish coercion and intimidation.
After all, Mrs. Liu San is a woman in an inner house, and she is a woman in a mansion with no experience in fighting. She has bad intentions but not much scheming - it is just a woman's usual little thoughts.
As soon as the man in the mansion intervened, she couldn't hold on. Not only did she admit what she did, she also called out the noble girl who colluded with her because of her admiration for Chengenhou.
There is no need to say how angry the Chengenhou couple is.
However, Old Master Liu wanted to hide this inside story for the sake of his reputation in the mansion.
The father and son had a big fight, and finally hid the scandal in the mansion on the condition of saving the life of the Yue family, who was the wife of Cheng'enhou.
However, Cheng'enhou and his wife insisted on punishing Mrs. Liu San.
The final result was that Mrs. Liu San had no son, no uncle and aunt, had five things to go back, such as verbalism, jealousy, and abusive diseases.
I found another noble girl’s family and explained the situation.
The people from that family were naturally ashamed. So they hurriedly married the noble girl to a faraway place.
Chengenhou and his wife naturally felt that the punishment was not enough. However, no one was killed - although they were lost, they might not have really lost their lives.
Therefore, it was necessary to give up on the spot.
Then, the mansion began to work hard to find the third son.
For this reason, after taking over the power, Chengen Hou specially looked for many people who were good at investigating to cultivate it.
This is why the last time Liu Wenli was investigated in just half a day.
But twenty years, not twenty days, not twenty months, but twenty years.
Over the years, some people have falsely claimed and similar, but after layers of verification, waves of hope have turned into disappointment.
During these years of various famines, as well as bandits and chaos, we have never found a real third son.
