)"
Halfway through Wang Chong's words, the old man sitting tremblingly in the chair remembered something, lowered his head and covered his face and wiped away tears.

Chen Rong only has one sister, Lu Xiniang's mother. The family loves this little daughter very much, and the brother and sister have a close relationship. When he first heard that his sister had passed away, he was young and energetic and led his servants to smash the shop in front of the uncle's house.

But so what, he, a commoner from the Chen family, could do nothing to help his sister even though he felt aggrieved.

Instead, the uncle submitted a complaint to the government office. He stayed in prison for two months and was tortured. His mother was in tears all day long and left within half a year. In grief, his father sold his property and led the family away from the capital.

Before his death, his father was still worried about his niece. After all, she was the eldest daughter of the uncle's house, so the family never worried about it. Unexpectedly, she had lived a miserable life and died early.

However, although Chen Rong felt sad in his heart at this moment, he did not say anything else. He felt that it was very strange that Wang Chong mentioned this matter, maybe he had a grudge with the uncle's house. It is said that centipede insects are dead but not stiff. He can't afford to offend any of the noble families in the capital.

Wang Chong did not force him. His ancestors and grandchildren had lunch in the mansion before leaving the mansion. He also gave him a few pieces of rare ink and took them back with him along with the books he had received from Chen Shi.

Wang Chong ordered Zhou Xing to escort them out of the house in person, and said to them: "Since my uncles have come to the capital, you might as well stay for a few more days before leaving."

Chen Rong repeated his thoughts and bowed, and Wang Chong and Lu Xiniang returned to the back room. .

When Lu Xiniang stopped talking, Chunlan brought a celadon sand gong to clean her hands. She slowly wiped her hands with a handkerchief. After Chunlan left, she said to Wang Chong: "Brother Chong, what do you mean by that? My mother Could it be that he killed her?"

She didn't even want to call him "father" anymore.

In fact, she had never made such a guess in her heart.

Wang Chong took the handkerchief from her and squatted in front of her to help her dry her fingertips. Fang said, "No matter what the facts are, he gave birth to you, and you have already repaid the love of flesh and blood." Besides,

the four ancestors and grandsons of the Chen family When people left the Duke's Mansion, Chen Rong looked gloomy all the way. After returning, he excused himself because he was ill and locked himself in the house.

Both of his sons were filial, and they were discussing asking a doctor to take a look at him, but Chen Shi said from the side: "Father, uncle, my grandfather has been silent since he came back from the fight. Could it be that the Duke of the country mentioned something to my grandfather?" Are you embarrassed?"

"I think this noble couple is less pretentious than the county magistrate..."

"That's what I think."

Chen Shi thought for a moment and said, "How about I talk to my grandfather first . " Sir, let's make some plans."

"That's good, my father always pays attention to my brother." Uncle Chen Shi said, "Brother, ask your grandfather if he wants to eat."

Chen Shi came out within a quarter of an hour. His father was about to step forward to ask questions when he saw the door open again behind him. Chen Rong wore a gray cloak and stood holding the door frame, closing his cuffs. It was dusk now, and he looked like he was about to go out.

"Father."

Chen Rong looked at Chen Shi and said, "Brother Shi is so smart and thorough. If he had been born forty years earlier, what would have happened to our Chen family..."

He sighed, and went to personally order the groom sent by the Duke's government to serve him. , just saying that he was going out.

Chen Shi's father turned to him and asked: "Brother Shi, what did you say to your grandfather?"

"In the past, King Xiang was able to defeat the Qin army and become famous among the princes. Isn't that why my ancestors of the Chen family gave up? My grandfather just figured it out."
