GBP Chapter 131 Xu Maochun, His Background Revealed!
Chapter 131 Xu Maochun, His Background Revealed!
Along with the prison van came news that someone had colluded with bandits to assassinate Xie Xiu, killing two decent women with the intention of putting the blame on Xie Xiu.
This matter soon aroused heated discussion among the people.
After all, Xie Xiu was just a scholar and not an official.
So even if he encountered such a thing, the civil and military officials in the court did not take him seriously, but were more interested in watching Xie Yun's fun.
After all, Xie Xiu is Xie Yun's eldest son. Encountering such a thing is really a slap in Xie Yun's face.
What's even more embarrassing is that the real culprit behind the scenes may very well be his step-wife.
Because of this incident, many ministers even went to Xie's house to visit him.
This one said, "Master Xie, you must have heard about your eldest son being assassinated and framed.
This child has truly suffered a tragic fate. Master Xie, you should show more concern and care for him. You must not let the child feel disheartened."
The other said, "Xie Xueshi, I just learned about your son's situation. It makes me sad and cry!
How could there be such a vicious person in this world who actually colluded with bandits to murder your son and killed two decent women in order to frame your son!
If your son had not been so lucky and had a long life, he would have died on the road long ago and would never have been able to return to the capital to reunite with you.
Xie Xueshi, you must make the decision for your son!"
Some even asked directly: "Master Xie, how do you plan to deal with those murderers?
"If you ask me, these people, being members of the Black Kirin Guard, murdered the family members of court officials. This is a heinous crime! They must be executed to serve as a warning to others!"
Yes, although the ministers in the court did not care about a little scholar like Xie Xiu, someone dared to murder the official's family, which touched their reverse scale!
They are officials, not monks!
Who doesn’t have a family? No son?
What's more, Xie Xiu is Xie Yun's legitimate son!
If those criminals are not sentenced to death to serve as a warning to others, what will happen if someone follows their example and murders their families in the future?
So after the news spread, almost all the ministers in the court were filled with indignation!
But soon, they heard a very bad news -
The leading thug was a servant of the Chen family and had once been a servant in the family.
Later, the head of the Chen family, the then Duke Cheng'en Rende, released him from slavery and made him a good citizen.
Only then did Xu Maochun enter the Black Kirin Guard.
At the same time, a new rumor was circulating among the people:
Xu Maochun’s biological father was actually Duke Cheng’en.
His biological mother was a maid in the mansion of Duke Cheng'en. She was beautiful, but was betrothed to the mansion's groom.
After marriage, she was raped by Duke Cheng'en and became pregnant with an illegitimate child.
Because she had a husband, Duke Cheng'en did not know whose child she was pregnant with.
Besides, it would not sound good if the news of forcibly taking a servant's wife got out.
In addition, Duke Cheng'en soon lost interest in her and ignored her.
It was not until the child was born and grew up, and became more and more like Duke Cheng'en, that Duke Cheng'en realized that he was his own child.
But he was the Duke of Cheng'en and had no shortage of sons, so how could he recognize the son of a groom?
Therefore, he never acknowledged this son, nor did he let Xu Maochun change his surname to Chen.
Only after he grew up, he was freed from slavery and became a good citizen, no longer a servant of the Chen family.
Poor Xu Maochun had the blood of the Chen family, but was never recognized. He could only grow up as the son of a groom, and was beaten and insulted by the groom since he was a child.
Even his biological mother was ashamed of him.
Although they share the same blood, the young masters of the Chen family are high and mighty, living a life of luxury, while he can only be a lowly servant.
Even if he became a good citizen, he still had to work for others and eventually ended up in jail.
This kind of romantic rumor naturally attracted great interest from the people of the capital, so it spread very quickly.
The Chen family didn't even have time to stop it before the rumor spread to everyone.
However, what these ordinary people don’t know is that Xu Maochun is not the son of Duke Cheng’en, but his grandson.
His real biological father was actually the son of Duke Cheng'en.
Duke Cheng'en did not like Xu Maochun's biological mother. The one who actually violated her was Duke Cheng'en's son, Xu Maochun's biological father.
After Xie Xiu learned the secret from Xie Ying, he deliberately replaced Xu Maochun's biological father with Duke Cheng'en and had the news spread.
Because his biological father was just a bastard and a playboy, and was insignificant.
How could the identity of Lord Cheng'en be as eye-catching and eye-catching?
Sure enough, once the rumor spread, it immediately spread throughout the capital at a terrifying speed, and the Cheng'en Mansion was unable to stop it!
After the news spread, Duke Cheng'en was so angry that he smashed all the decorations in the room. He almost wanted to eat his unfilial son alive!
If that idiot hadn't acted recklessly and given birth to such a son with lowly blood, how could he have suffered such humiliation?
"This is simply unreasonable!"
Lord Cheng En was so angry that he slammed the table. "If I knew who was behind all this nonsense, I would make him regret coming into this world!"
"Someone, bring this evil creature here!"
Not long after, a fat, middle-aged man with rich clothes and a look of kidney deficiency was tied up.
Lord Cheng'en roared, "Hit him hard! Beat this evil creature to death!"
"Father, spare me!" the man screamed in panic, "This is none of my business!
I didn't tell anyone about what happened back then. It must have been that kid Xu Maochun who was holding a grudge and told it on purpose!
"Father, if you want to hate someone, you should hate Xu Maochun! He clearly wants to destroy our Cheng'en Mansion!"
"You still have the nerve to talk like that!" Lord Cheng En was so angry that he grabbed something and threw it at the man's face!
The man quickly dodged, then took a closer look and was immediately scared to death with cold sweats.
That's a paperweight!
If I really hit him in the face, wouldn't he be bleeding?
My father is really getting old and confused. Even if he has many sons, he can't just beat them to death, right?
He has expanded the family!
He is a hero of the whole clan!
Those stud pigs and stud horses are all treated very well by their owners, who fear that they will be neglected.
How come it is that he has expanded his family and has given birth to a bunch of children, but no one in his family looks down on him?
His father actually wanted to kill him because of a rumor!
Isn't it just a rumor? Is something that has no basis in fact worth getting my father so angry?
He doesn't mind that his sons become brothers. A father just has one more son. What is there to be angry about?
Could it be that he just dislikes him and is looking for an excuse to deal with him?
