Chapter 160 Making a Request
At the same time, in a secluded courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion, Qin Shijun and Wang Weiyuan were sitting opposite each other.
Wang Weiyuan's face was solemn, and Qin Shijun no longer had the playful look he used to have. His upturned fox eyes were now slightly drooping, and he looked at his friend cautiously with an unconcealable worry in his eyes.
After a while, Wang Weiyuan raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Shijun, his voice filled with sarcasm: "So I am the eldest son who was abandoned by my father, Marquis Jingchuan, seventeen years ago?"
"It happened suddenly. My uncle was with the Third Prince and the Imperial Concubine at the time. If he hadn't left you behind, the Third Prince wouldn't have been able to escape. My uncle had no choice but to leave you behind..." Qin Shijun licked his lips and spoke with difficulty: "It was a substitution."
After hearing the last few words, Wang Weiyuan remained expressionless, but his fists under his sleeves were clenched unwillingly.
Just a few words brought about a major turning point in his life.
If he had not been destined to die, and if he had not met the kind-hearted Wang family by chance, whether he could have survived, or whether he could have achieved the fame he has today, are all mirages, which are hard to imagine, right?
Although we know that people are divided into different classes and the noble and the humble are clearly distinguished from each other, when it comes to a life-and-death moment, how many people are willing to sacrifice their lives for others?
Even ants are greedy for life, let alone a living human being with flesh and blood, thoughts and feelings!
Wang Weiyuan could understand Jingchuan Hou's choice at that time, but as a victim, he could not easily forgive his biological father for his cruel abandonment.
Qin Shijun's incessant persuasion echoed in his ears: "Ayuan, when I first met you in Lincheng, I always felt a sense of familiarity and closeness. Now that I think about it, it must have been fate that led me to meet you. Over the years, my aunt has repeatedly prayed to die in search of you. If it weren't for Huaizhen, she might have died ten years ago."
Wang Weiyuan's eyes moved slightly, and the four words "fragrant flower died" brought him back to his senses again.
Thinking of the Marquis's wife, whose eyes were filled with love and tenderness as she looked at him, his heart, filled with resentment and cruelty, couldn't help but soften. Although his father was not a good-for-nothing, his mother missed her son wholeheartedly. Thinking of this, he wasn't such a completely pitiful person.
Qin Shijun, with his sharp eyes, keenly noticed the change in his friend's mood and quickly took advantage of the situation to continue lobbying: "Ayuan, we are actually cousins. What a wonderful fate! This time, your aunt and uncle are full of guilt towards you, especially your uncle. Because he had to abandon you in the first place, he feels guilty and naturally loves you very much.
You've joined the Hanlin Academy, a prestigious institution renowned for its elegance and prestige. The Marquis's Mansion has money, so you can spend it freely. You can even use it to support your parents and siblings. I'm sure my aunt and uncle won't say a word.
This way, you can better take care of your adoptive parents and help your siblings over there, without having to suffer any hardship. I think your sister is almost old enough, so when the time comes, have your aunt help her find a good husband to marry. In a few years, when Yue Ge'er is old enough, have your uncle send him to the Imperial College to study.
It just so happens that your parents and relatives are all here in Lincheng. Take this opportunity not to let them go back. Just ask the Marquis's Mansion to buy them a spacious house and find a suitable job for the elders. In the future, the whole family will settle down in the capital.
Both sides are parents. You can visit whoever you want in the future. Not only will you have the reputation of being filial, but you will also have four more parents who love you. In the future, I can ask my aunt to help you find a beautiful and knowledgeable wife. Wouldn't your life be like that of a living god? "
Wang Weiyuan snorted coldly, but he couldn't help but feel a little yearning for Qin Shijun's description.
With his abilities, he really won't be able to help his siblings and parents live this kind of life within three to five years.
Besides, my sister is old enough to find a husband. If a marquis's mansion comes forward, it will indeed be much better than the one I find for her. The same goes for my younger brother. If he can enter the Imperial College in a few years, it will naturally be of great benefit to his future.
Wang Weiyuan was not a carefree person. Having lived in the countryside for more than ten years, he knew very well how it felt to be a hero killed by a penny. He also knew that with his status, it was only a matter of time before he would return to the Jingchuan Marquis Mansion.
Since this is the case, the best strategy would be to try to gain more practical benefits for Lincheng's parents before returning.
So, he started to sneer, "Don't make empty promises to me here. It's not up to you to decide what happens to the Marquis' Mansion."
Qin Shijun was overjoyed when he heard the tone that seemed to be softening. He ignored his friend's sarcastic attitude and stood up, walked over to Wang Weiyuan, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "These words were said by my aunt and uncle themselves. I am just relaying them to you!"
Qin Shijun's face was filled with emotion: "The Wang family saved your life and raised you so well. Not to mention just taking care of them, even if I give them half of the money in the Marquis' Mansion, I think my aunt will agree without blinking an eye."
"Alright, let me think about it for a few days. I'll give you news in a few days. By then, I want to see you fulfill every promise you made, and then we can talk about recognizing your ancestors."
Wang Weiyuan did not hesitate and answered decisively.
Qin Shijun was so happy that he wanted to jump up. It was a good thing that Ayuan could make a request. Being willing to make a request meant that he wanted to forgive his parents, and there was a possibility of repairing the parent-child relationship.
What my aunt and uncle were most worried about at the time was that Ayuan would become stubborn, not give his parents a chance to atone for his sins, and refuse to return to the Marquis' Mansion.
Now, not only did Ayuan not lose his temper, but he also helped his adoptive parents and negotiated terms with his biological parents in a serious manner.
It's both gratifying and sad.
It's gratifying that Ayuan is a kind-hearted child who knows how to repay his gratitude, but it's sad that his own son helped outsiders to plot against his own parents.
No matter what, as long as Ayuan is willing to return to the Marquis' Mansion, it will be a great joy for his aunt and uncle.
In the future, when Ayuan comes back, we will repair our relationship and find a wife of equal status for Ayuan. When the Jingchuan Marquisate is handed over to them, my aunt and uncle will have no regrets and will have done their best for their ancestors.
wife?
No, if he guessed correctly, Ayuan seemed to be quite fond of his distant sister Jin'er.
If that's the case, you have to tell your aunt about it right away. Without being sure of what these two people are thinking, don't try to match them up and make Ayuan unhappy. Otherwise, a good thing will turn into a bad one!
Thinking of this, Qin Shijun asked anxiously, "Ayuan, are you attracted to your sister Jin'er?"
Wang Weiyuan was caught off guard by this sudden question. Thinking of Jin Chu's rude rejection of him last night, he suddenly felt depressed again.
If she knew his identity today, would she still reject him as resolutely as she did last night? If the Jingchuan Marquisate could really persuade this girl, then what would it matter if he was just being treacherous?
As long as she is willing to accept him, he will naturally have more opportunities to enter her heart in the future. Then, won't he be able to win the beauty again?
As if possessed by some strange force, Wang Weiyuan nodded. "Yes, I am attracted to Sister Jin'er. If the Marquis' Mansion can facilitate this, I would naturally be very happy."
