Chapter 1258: White Lie (Part II)
Only then did Yang Huairen realize that he had taken in Empress Meng's child, and it was not that he could be fooled by making up a harmless lie.
Saying that the child is his is just a simple sentence, but to convince others that the child is really his, more lies are needed to hold up the first lie.
Guan Qiuli's visit to the Yang family Zhuangzi at night must not be spread outside, Yang Huairen is not very worried about this, the family will naturally not smear him, and the brothers can understand him.
As for the government soldiers, they didn't dare to gossip about the prince's affairs, especially after Yang Huairen explained that they would forget about it when they got up tomorrow, they understood that Yang Huairen cared about this matter very much, so they would definitely not tell the matter.
But the child stayed, Yang Huairen still has to give the child an identity in the future, and it can't be an identity like a wild species, since he said that the child is his, he must make others believe that this child was born normally by one of his mothers.
Then it seems not right to hand over the child to He Zhiyun to raise, the official is only nine months old, and he immediately has a one-month-old brother, it is difficult to convince outsiders of this statement.
In this case, Lian'er's side will not work, Daguan and Xiaoyu'er were born on the same day.
Then only Tie Xiangyu, Lan Ruoxin and Sister Ghost are left. Lan Ruoxin was pregnant for six or seven months, and she couldn't say that she was pregnant with a child and gave birth to a child, and Sister Ghost had been wandering around the village recently, let alone saying that the child was hers.
Then the only possibility left is to say that the child is Tie Xiangyu. According to Lang Zhong's calculations, Tie Xiangyu should give birth next month, and when she gave birth, she claimed that she gave birth to a pair of twins, which seemed to be the most convincing to others.
Although the difference between the two children was still two months old at that time, if the prince was secretly raised in the back house first, and Tie Xiangyu would not let outsiders see it after giving birth to the child, when the child grew up, the difference of two months would not be so obvious.
When Yang Huairen thought of this, he could only do this, because he had no other better way.
He Zhiyun and Sister Ghost accompanied him to Yang's mother's room, and at the same time brought Lian'er and the two big-bellied mothers-in-law over, leaving only a family of seven in the house, and discussed how to deal with this matter in private.
Yang Huairen didn't mention Qiu Li, only said that someone sent a child to the house, and thought that he was the biological father of the child.
Of course, Yang's mother hopes that Yang Huairen can help the old Yang family more, and she should be happy to have one more child.
But at the same time, Yang's mother understood that this was Yang Huairen's secret knot with the woman outside, so she gave birth to this child, and in the face of several daughters-in-law, she felt ashamed of her son.
At this time, the role of He Zhiyun, the eldest woman of the Yang family, was revealed, she first expressed her willingness to accept the child, the reason is very simple, don't think about whether the child's mother has entered the Yang family, as long as the child is the Yang family's species, then since the child has entered the family, he must be treated like a big official, and he cannot be favored.
He Zhiyun expressed his attitude, and Yang Huairen's other daughters-in-law had no choice but to echo it, Lian'er really didn't mind, but Yang Huairen found that Tie Xiangyu and Lan Ruoxin's faces were still a little unhappy.
Or rather, there was more of a puzzled look on their faces.
The reason is very simple, the two of them saw that the child was only a month old, and they felt that it was not right to calculate the time in private.
Tie Xiangyu thought that she had just met Yang Huairen last year, and at that time, apart from Lan Ruoxin, she didn't remember that there were other women around Yang Huairen.
And judging from her understanding of Yang Huairen, Yang Huairen is actually not a man who will mess with flowers and grass everywhere, and each of his wives and concubines has real feelings before he married into the family.
After getting married, I had never heard that Yang Huairen would visit the Qinglou or flirt with other people's little ladies, so as for the identity of the child, Tie Xiangyu told her with a voice in her heart that this child would definitely not be Yang Huairen's son.
Tie Xiangyu thought so, let alone Lan Ruoxin.
During the last year, Lan Ruoxin had been by Yang Huairen's side, even to the point of being inseparable, but she had never seen Yang Huairen or contacted any other woman.
So where did this kid come from? But Yang Huairen said very firmly that the child was his, what was going on?
Although the two realized that something was not quite right, in front of Yang Mu and Yang Huairen, it was difficult for anyone to say what they really thought in their hearts, so they had to echo He Zhiyun's meaning.
Then He Zhiyun said Yang Huairen's idea of letting Tie Xiangyu be the mother of this child, and everyone understood what was going on, and they all looked at Tie Xiangyu.
Tie Xiangyu looked at Yang Huairen's eyes, they were still so clear, and she told her in her heart that Yang Huairen must have his bitterness for lying to his family.
As for the true identity of the child, since Yang Huairen wants to cover it up as much as possible, there is no need for her, as a wife, to expose it.
Thinking about this, Tie Xiangyu happily agreed, and her many sons will have a stronger position in the Yang Mansion in the future.
Lan Ruoxin was very uncomfortable in her heart, but she was not stupid, the identity of the child was suspicious, but this was not something she could guess at will, the other sisters had no opinion, and she would not be the one who made Yang Huairen unhappy.
The matter was decided, the child was raised by He Zhiyun first, and after Tie Xiangyu gave birth, the child was sent to her, and the other side claimed that she gave birth to twin sons.
Mother Yang felt very comforted when she saw that her daughters-in-law were so well-behaved, "You are all good children, you can get along in harmony, and my mother will be relieved." ”
He Zhiyun echoed, "Yes, mother, don't worry, as the saying goes, it doesn't mean that the family and everything is prosperous, a few of us get along harmoniously, and the officials can support this family outside with peace of mind." ”
When the truth is said in this way, no matter who is still a little uncomfortable in their hearts, they will not care.
Yang Huairen is still very pleased, he understands in his heart that several of his daughters-in-law are very shrewd, and whether the child is his or not, they actually know it in their hearts.
They don't say it, it is also a kind of trust and understanding of Yang Huairen, and Yang Huairen also sighed that finding these daughters-in-law is really a good blessing he cultivated in his previous life.
Sent the two pot-bellied women back to the room to rest, Yang Huairen and He Zhiyun took the child back to the room, Yang Huairen looked at Yun'er, who knew his mind best, and said with some guilt, "Yun'er, I know I lied, it's me who is wrong, but ...... Anyway, thank you for today's events. ”
He Zhiyun leaned over and snuggled in his arms, "The concubine knows what the official is like, since the official is unwilling to say anything about the child, it must be for our good, why should the official blame himself?" ”
