Chapter 468 He is the Deposed Crown Prince
Hearing Liang Hean's question, Shen Wenzhi answered respectfully like a student,
"To be honest, sir, after I learned the truth, I did everything I could to find out the name and hometown of the top scholar, which is exactly the same as mine. I was even more certain that I was impersonated."
When he said this, he became emotional and his clenched fists began to tremble slightly.
*
"I was so angry that I went to the county and government offices to beat the drum to appeal. I even went outside the northern border to file a complaint several times. Unfortunately, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away, so there was no place to appeal.
I was almost thrown into jail several times, but fortunately I had the status of a juren.
On the way home, I was beaten and warned several times by a group of unidentified people.
When he almost died for the last time, he was fortunately saved by the King of Jingbei who passed by.
After all the struggles were in vain.
Mr. Shen was disheartened and extremely disappointed by the darkness in officialdom.
In addition, out of gratitude to King Jingbei, he joined the prince as a small strategist. "
After Shen Wenzhi finished speaking, he looked sad and angry, lowered his head and didn't want to continue recalling the past!
Aunt Yu, however, secretly wiped away her tears.
During that time, my son said he was studying at college and would not come home. It turned out that he was beaten severely and he was afraid that I would worry!
What are you talking about, you almost lost your life?! Aunt Yu was so distressed that she bit her lips hard to prevent herself from making any sound.
The room was silent for a moment.
*
After a while,
Shen Wenzhi looked up at Fang Qingge and asked the question in his mind.
"Qingge, where did you go? Why did you leave without saying goodbye?
Was the person who secretly came to report safety sent by the young master? What happened to you guys after that when there was no news from you guys?"
Aunt Yu also looked at Fang Qingge.
Fang Qingge didn't want to tell the story of how she was almost buried alive while pregnant and had a near-death experience.
He changed the subject and wanted to reveal the prince's identity.
She looked at Liang He'an with questioning eyes. Liang He'an, who understood each other, nodded slightly to her.
Fang Qingge knew that this was because Brother An already trusted Shen Wenzhi and the others, so he said,
"Mother, I think you may have heard the news that the deposed crown prince was exiled to the northern border?!"
Fang Qingge knew that for such big news, couriers from all over the country could travel as fast as flying birds.
*
However, Fang Qingge underestimated Aunt Yu's excitement.
"What? Prince!"
Aunt Yu stood up suddenly and looked at the prince's face with her cloudy eyes wide open.
She is old, but her mind is not muddled yet.
She grabbed Fang Qingge who was trying to support her and said anxiously,
"Qingge, it turns out that the young master is the prince's man?! Alas! Are you also implicated?"
"Forehead?"
Fang Qingge didn't expect Aunt Yu to have the wrong idea. Before she could answer,
Aunt Yu asked Liang Hean anxiously,
"Sir, did you meet the Crown Prince on the battlefield and then follow him?
Then tell me quickly, has the prince arrived in our northern border? Where is he living now? Is he doing well?
To be honest, I have worshiped His Royal Highness the Crown Prince all my life. To say that he is a traitor is a lie! Those people are really blind!
Alas! We are angry, but unfortunately we are ordinary people with low lives and can do nothing for him!
After hearing this, the old lady was worried that he would be bullied by dogs in a desperate situation.
Liang Hean was a little confused by Aunt Yu's words, but soon understood, and his expression eased a lot because of the touching feeling in his heart.
*
However, Shen Wenzhi on the side was shocked by Fang Qingge's sudden words. As smart as he was, he raised his eyes and looked at the prince in front of him with extraordinary demeanor.
He stood up suddenly, dusted off his robe, and knelt down respectfully to Liang He'an.
"Student greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Seeing this, Aunt Yu was stunned. Her brain was not working properly. She pointed at Fang Qingge and her son kneeling on the ground and stammered,
"Prince? Prince? Qingge, the young master is the prince? He...he is the prince of our Daliang Kingdom? You? You married the prince?"
Aunt Yu looked back and forth between the two of them, her words were incoherent, and she nodded at Fang Qingge.
She rubbed her eyes hard as if she couldn't believe it, and then she heard Liang Hean shout,
"aunt."
As soon as Liang Hean's words came out, Aunt Yu was so shocked that she fell to her knees with a plop. She raised her head and said with tears in her eyes,
"Your Highness, you have been wronged! God is blind! Such a good person like you was framed and brought here by those bad guys."
Aunt Yu's voice was choked with sobs. She was so excited that her lips trembled and she couldn't continue speaking!
The prince quickly extended his hand to support him,
"Auntie, please get up quickly. I am no longer a prince, but a commoner. No need for formalities."
Fang Qingge, with tears in her eyes, quickly stepped forward to help her up.
"Mom, please get up quickly. I haven't dared to tell you because I'm afraid those who framed the prince will do something bad to you."
"Qingge, stop talking! I know, I know everything. I understand your good intentions!"
Aunt Yu's tears started flowing again.
*
Looking at the deposed prince, she felt sad and filled with emotion.
Suddenly he grabbed Fang Qingge's hand and said,
"Qingge, when you came to our house, I noticed that you were not like an ordinary kid.
At that time, seeing that you had no relatives, and also in order to protect your reputation, my husband and I adopted you as our daughter.
We told outsiders that she was our daughter who had been missing for a long time and was found again. But you and I both knew that we were not related by blood.
Now that you have become famous, don't blame me for being nosy. To be honest, I can't bear you calling me mother again!"
Fang Qingge heard this and said anxiously,
"Mom, has my identity changed? Am I no longer your daughter?"
Aunt Yu patted Fang Qingge's little hand and said earnestly,
“Qingge, listen and finish.
You will be a good daughter of our Shen family all your life. But you have to change your way of speaking and call me Auntie. And call your father Uncle."
Shen Wenzhi also understood his mother's deep meaning. Although the crown prince was deposed, his status as a prince could not be changed. The imperial power was supreme!
He nodded as well.
"That's right, Qingge. Etiquette and law cannot be abolished. It's a blessing for us to meet you."
"I disagree."
Fang Qingge said angrily.
At this time, Liang Hean opened his mouth.
"Thank you!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Yu and Shen Wenzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
*
Just at this time,
Eunuch Fu's voice came from outside the door.
"Sir, the lady's meal is ready! Please move to the dining hall to eat."
"Ah."
The prince responded.
He said to Fang Qingge and Aunt Yu,
"It's getting late, let's go eat first."
Aunt Yu quickly declined.
"Sir, my mother and I have already eaten.
Qingge, I'll go out and see if there's anything else I can do to help. You can go and have dinner with the young master as soon as possible!"
Without waiting for Fang Qingge to hold her back, Aunt Yu reached out and tugged at her son's collar, and the two of them walked out of the main house first.
