Chapter 84: Gongsun’s house fight (5)
After everyone had seen the Second Master, they all asked him for his opinion. At this time, Gongsun Yun seemed to casually ask, "Second Uncle, what do you think this is?"
Everyone looked up and saw a piece of paper in her hand.
The second master took it and said, "These are his last words." The general meaning of it was that her eldest son was going to die and it was her responsibility. She didn't take good care of her when she was pregnant. She wanted to wait on the Huangquan Road first... but she still spent so many years. He told me about the wrong things he had done, including killing the maid Cuizhi and framing Aunt Liu.
...
I didn’t pay much attention to what happened next. I heard that the servants found out that Aunt Liu was dead. She was stabbed to death by the second lady’s hairpin. Some people also saw that the second lady did go to the corner door of the back room last night. .
Mr. Lin Ling is in a mess.
The second master originally had no feelings for the Xia family, the second wife, and didn't care how he died, but he was still suspicious of all kinds of things coming together, and his scrutinizing eyes turned on the eldest master's lineage and Gongsun Jin. After turning around, he said, "Jin'er, go and invite people from the government."
At this time, the butler behind him appeared at the right time, "Second Master, I'm afraid you don't know that you haven't been in Jinxicheng for a long time. Something big has happened in the prefect's house. It is said that someone has wiped out the family. No new officials have been sent here yet. Only Song Tongzhi will handle it for the time being." Various matters, but recently he has been preoccupied with investigating the tragedy of the prefect’s family, and he may not be able to deal with matters at home..."
He didn't lie, Song Tongzhi was really busy with his feet on the ground.There is nothing suspicious about the people in your family who committed suicide. If you want to invite them, they really don't want to pay attention, especially since Song Tongzhi had a conflict with the second master...
When the man heard this, he waved his hand ruthlessly, "Forget it then, call me the doctor!"
The doctor is right next to him, "Second Master, I'm here!"
The man's eyes were filled with coldness, "What's going on with the eldest young master's illness..." He suspected that someone had tampered with him.While asking, he looked towards the gang of bastards in the big house.
He would not doubt Gongsun Jin, who was his legitimate second son. How could he harm his eldest son who was already short-lived? He had no reason to do so.
The second master drove everyone away, leaving only the doctor who asked questions for a long time.
After the doctor came out, he called Gongsun Jin again.
"Father...are you looking for a child?" Gongsun Jin's father's name this time was much more cordial than before, because this was indeed his biological father, and he had unusual feelings for his biological mother.
So he was a lot more respectful.
The second master nodded, very satisfied with his son's sudden closeness. "I have heard that your grandmother gave you the order of the head of the family. Is there anyone who refuses to accept it? If so, my father still has some influence here, so I will leave it to you."
Gongsun Jin raised his head suddenly. He did not expect that his father not only did not suspect that he had done anything, but also trusted him so much.
The second master took a deep breath, "Jin'er, as a father... I'm sorry for you all these years~"
"..." Gongsun Jin was even more confused. What was going on.
The second master didn't let him wait too long, "Jin'er, don't be too sad about your mother's death. In fact, my father has always suspected that you are not her biological son."
When Gongsun Jin was stunned, the man directly explained the reason, "Because you... look too much like your uncle."
"My uncle?"
Then the second master told some past events from that year.Anyway, generally speaking, her mother Cuizhi and her uncle sold themselves to the Xia Mansion, which was the second wife’s natal family.The two houses are family friends. Naturally, the second master has met the brother of Cuizhi, the second wife's bride, so he knows his appearance.
After his second son was born, he had doubts every time he saw his appearance, but he had no evidence.He was afraid that if the investigation became clear, his second son's status would be lowered, so he kept secret.
Now he was afraid that Gongsun Jin would be too sad to know that his second wife was dead, so he took the opportunity to tell the truth.
"I don't object to you being the head of the Gongsun Jin family and your father, but there is one thing. You can't interfere with the property in Jiangnan, otherwise..."
Gongsun Jin understood that he had some old feelings for his son, but in the end it could not compare with the common children in the south who had always been with him.If he is greedy and wants to eat over there, then he may reveal his identity as a bastard.
"Yes, my son understands."
...
Qushui Pavilion,
Qu Liushang listened to Gongsun Jin's talk with the second master, and concluded, "Since he is your father, he will not harm you unless he has to, so let's do it for the time being, so that he can firmly hold on to the industry here. Yes, it's a great achievement of yours. I'll give you a few more days to clean up the house and give our children a good environment. I don't want them to have any accidents, do you understand? In addition, after this matter is over, , start hoarding food and grass, I want to use them."
Now Gongsun Jin has no feeling at all when he hears such an imperative sentence. He will do whatever the woman tells him. Anyway, it is for the safety of their children, "Okay!"
...
Five days later,
After dealing with the funeral affairs of the eldest young master and the second wife.
The second master helped Gongsun Jin secure his position as the head of the family, and then finally returned to Jiangnan.
The business there is inseparable from him, and the bastards haven't grown up yet.So he rushed back in a hurry.
At this point, the Gongsun family's house fight in Jinxicheng came to an end.
At the promotion ceremony of the head of the family, Gongsun Jin was decisive and dealt with some disobedient side branches and servants of the Gongsun family on the spot, killing the chickens to scare the monkeys.
Everyone finally understood that the situation in the Gongsun family had changed.Even if the old lady wakes up, it won't help. She can only live out her life and retreat behind the scenes.
At the same time, Gongsun Jin also announced the identity of the Queen Mother Quliu Shang.
Before everyone could recover from the shock, Gongsun Jin directly announced that he would marry the Crown Princess and become her second husband.The wedding is just three days away.
The eldest master was not willing to accept the defeat of his faction, and now that he knew that the Gongsun family had indirectly become the empress dowager's purse, he naturally felt unwilling to do so. However, the words of the second daughter Gongsun Yun woke him up, "Dad, she has no identity." Generally speaking, it is better for us to be diligent ministers of the king as early as possible than to swing around. With the protection of a legitimate heir to the throne, the Gongsun family's business in the northwest will only get better and better. When the time comes, your share of the family property will naturally increase, and it will be enough to protect your family. You will have more money to spend in your lifetime. On the other hand, if you and your brothers keep confronting her, first of all, you will be accused of being disloyal and unjust. Secondly, I heard that the Crown Princess Liu Chang has taken control of the troops in the northwest, and we are completely powerless. To resist, do you really want to leave the main house of the Gongsun family with your family? Wouldn't it be a fight back then?"
Seeing that her father was still struggling, she directly told Qu Liushang's promise, "Liu Shang said that he would find a good family for his daughter."
This sentence really moved the elder.
Marriages between merchants' families are generally still merchants' families, and they rarely win the favor of high-ranking officials. If you use Qu Liushang's power to climb into the powerful, it is a good choice.
Dafang then calmed down and stopped talking anymore.
