Chapter 1044 I Still Have a Father
Shi Chengxuan's days of house arrest were exceptionally long.
That day, Chang Wu finally came to tell his master that the princess had ordered the ban to be lifted.
Shi Chengxuan looked at the sky without any reaction.
In fact, he was very scared. He was afraid that his son and daughter would stand on the wrong side, that his family would be in trouble, and that people would lose their heads in an instant.
Chang Wu then slowly recounted all the major events that had happened outside in those days.
Shi Chengxuan only then realized that in such a short period of time, the ashes of the collapse of the four great families were still hot, the imperial edict of Emperor Zhaowu's abdication was still fresh, and Emperor Wenxuan had already ascended the throne in the spotlight.
Oh my God, he hadn’t even caught up with the excitement of the North Wing’s earth-shattering new look!
So the children did not stand on the wrong side! It was always the emperor who was in charge of everything! Emperor Zhaowu was defeated... He bet on the wrong horse again.
It seems that what my daughter said is right. He is short-sighted, he is foolish but does not know it, he is too stupid to distinguish right from wrong, he is used to making friends with bad people, he listens to slander and still makes suggestions, which makes people hate him.
It turned out that he was the only idle person in this mansion!
Chang Wu continued to tell him in detail.
First, the former mistress, Tang Chujun, wore a phoenix crown and a red bridal robe and married the retired emperor.
Chang Wu was heartbroken, "From now on, when we see the Empress Dowager, we have to kowtow three times and bow nine times. Alas, we may not even see her. It's a blessing to see her, sir, don't you think?"
Shi Chengxuan's heart ached slightly, and he felt cold even in such a hot day.
Although he knew this day would come a long time ago, he still wanted to cry when it really happened.
However, he could no longer cry.
That woman, who was supposed to spend her life with him, just left him like that... and left!
He would rather Tang Chujun died than have her marry someone he could never afford to offend.
The feeling of being weak, helpless and fragile was so painful that it made his heart and fingertips ache.
"And my uncle!" Chang Wu has been holding it in for days and is now incoherent. "My uncle is not dead, he has ascended the throne, Emperor Yu! Um, Liang State! The princess will become the queen of Liang State! Madam Yao will go with her to see her off, and she will probably live with the princess in Liang State."
The more Shi Chengxuan listened, the more confused he became.
After Changwu explained for a long time, he finally understood.
The son-in-law who he had believed to be dead not only came back to life, but also ascended the throne of Liang State. And his leaky little cotton jacket was about to become the queen of Liang State... Shi Chengxuan was confused.
I couldn't figure out whether I was sad, happy, worried or something else.
In short, he missed everything he should and shouldn't have missed. It really felt like a day in heaven was like several years on earth.
Shi Chengxuan took a shower, changed his clothes, and prepared to go out for a walk.
Chang Wu chased after him and reminded him, "Master, you were finally released, so you must be careful with your words and actions. Don't upset the Empress Dowager or the Princess. If the Princess gets angry again, it won't be as simple as just confinement. Also, the Empress Dowager..."
Shi Chengxuan turned his head and looked at Chang Wu deeply, "You talk too much." After that, he got on the carriage and went to Gu Mansion.
When I arrived at the Gu Mansion, I happened to meet Mrs. Gu and Zhou Xianlin drinking tea.
But I saw that the two of them were talking and laughing, very friendly, and they were having a very pleasant chat.
Shi Chengxuan always thought that Madam Gu would only smile so happily when she was facing him, but it turns out... she can be so happy with others as well.
When Madam Gu saw him coming, she asked him to sit down and had someone serve tea.
Shi Chengxuan originally had a lot to say, but now he didn't want to say a word. "I remember that I have something else to do. I'll come back another day."
Madam Gu was a straightforward person. She didn't try to keep him and smiled as she asked the guest to leave.
Shi Chengxuan felt that he was dispensable to everyone. He got on the carriage and went to visit his former concubines.
The aunts were very welcoming to him, serving him tea and water, and were very attentive.
He felt that the concubines were still attached to him.
Aunt Han then spoke, "I discovered after leaving the backyard that the Second Master is such a great person."
This time, Shi Chengxuan did not have that arrogant expression, but his chest felt a little loosened.
Aunt Han continued, "If it weren't for the Second Master's mercy and letting us live, we sisters would never have the good life we have now."
Several aunts echoed and praised, "Second Master is such a good man."
Shi Chengxuan: "..."
He came here today not to rekindle old feelings, but because he felt that the world was so big and there was nowhere to go, so he walked and walked and somehow ended up here.
At least there are some acquaintances here who he can talk to, and one of them is the biological mother of his illegitimate sons and daughters.
He even thought that if they still wanted to come back, he would live a good life with them and be nicer to them in the future.
Shi Chengxuan suddenly wanted to have a home, a home that belonged entirely to him and where he had the final say.
But now Aunt Han's words made him unable to speak out what he was thinking.
He stood up and wanted to hug Shi Yunshu, the son born to Aunt Han.
In his impression, his son was only two years old and should still be curled up in Aunt Han's arms.
He asked, "Where's Shu'er?"
"He went to school." Aunt Han replied.
As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Yunshu came in from outside, looking very excited, and shouted from a distance, "Mother, look at the dowry I prepared for my sister!"
When he came in, he saw a stranger sitting in the room. He quickly stopped smiling and hid the object in his hand behind his back.
The boy was about seven or eight years old, handsome, like a little girl. He wore a cloud-blue silk gown, with a jade pendant hanging around his waist, and looked very noble.
Aunt Han introduced with a smile, "Shu'er, this is your father."
Boom! It was like a thunderbolt struck his head. Oh my god, he still has a father? Shi Yunshu staggered two steps in fear, his lips tightly shut.
All he knew was that he had a biological mother and a stepmother who was extremely good.
Oh my god, I actually have a father!
Shi Chengxuan was also confused. Is this Shu'er? Is she this big?
He clearly remembered that Shu'er could hardly speak and was held in Aunt Han's arms all day long.
The father and son glared at each other, and no one said anything.
Aunt Zhou gently broke the silence, smiling and waving, "Shu'er, come here, let Aunt Zhou see what kind of dowry our good child is going to prepare for Sister Xia'er?"
Shi Yunshu felt a little awkward when he saw that there were outsiders present. He lowered his head and whispered, "No, nothing... It's not something valuable."
Aunt Han patted his shoulder gently and encouraged him, "Show it to Aunt Zhou. What kind of gold and silver jewelry hasn't your sister Xia'er seen? What she lacks is a token of appreciation. As long as it's from you, she will definitely like it."
Shi Yunshu's ears turned slightly red. After hesitating for a moment, he took out an exquisite brocade box from his sleeve and handed it over carefully.
Seeing this, several aunts couldn't help but come forward and surround him with smiles.
The brocade box was opened, and a wooden comb lay quietly inside. At first glance, it looked ordinary and there was nothing special about it.
But Madam Wen had sharp eyes. She suddenly exclaimed, pointing at the back of the comb and exclaimed, "Look, what's painted on this comb?"
