2663 Old matters of the Zheng family
Zheng Qiu had planned to teach her brother a lesson a few days ago, but she felt that it would be useless. She had to hurt her brother physically.
She wanted to let her brother know the difference between that woman’s treatment of his son and that of someone else’s son. She wanted to know if that woman was being nice to him.
That was why Zheng Qiu had chosen today, the first day of the general exam.
The reason was simple. The son of the Marchioness of Yong an, Zheng sanlang, would also be participating in this year’s general examination.
Zheng sanlang was two years older than Zheng Qiu. He was already twenty years old. He was good at his studies and had always been regarded as the hope of the Marquis of Yong ‘an and his wife. That was why Zheng sanlang had not married yet.
Zheng San lang was also Zheng Wei’s brother. The two of them had changed from a concubine’s son to a Di’s son and daughter, but the treatment they had received since they were young had not changed at all.
Zheng Qiu’s mother had married into the Marquis of Yong ‘an’s residence due to an engagement. At that time, the Marquis of Yong’ an, who was still the son of the Marquis of Yong ‘an, did not love her mother. Instead, he loved his childhood sweetheart, his neighbor, Madam he, who was the mother of the current Madam of the Marquis of Yong’ an, Zheng San lang and Zheng Wei.
This Madam he was originally the daughter of an official. When she was of marriageable age, her father committed a crime, and their whole family was implicated.
At that time, the Marquis of Yong ‘an begged his parents to save the he family.
The old couple couldn’t do anything about their son’s request. They had watched Madam he grow up, so they agreed.
The crime Madam he’s father had committed was not small, but it was not to the extent of exterminating the entire family. However, all the relatives in the family were demoted to slaves, so Madam he was bought into the manor to be a concubine of the Marquis of Yong ‘an, who was still the Crown Prince at that time.
At that time, Zheng Qiu’s mother was already pregnant with Zheng Qiu’s elder brother. In order to let her rest in peace, no one in the Marquis’s residence revealed the news to her. The Marquis of Yong ‘an also accompanied her every night.
It was not until Zheng Qiu’s mother had given birth and finished her confinement that she found out about the he family’s existence.
However, she had no other choice.
This was bought from the Yamen, not from the hands of a middle-aged man, and it couldn’t be sold at will.
Zheng Qiu’s mother was a traditional woman. She felt that it was fine for her husband to have a concubine, but he had to respect her as the matriarch.
In addition, she had given birth to a son for the first time, so she had to cheer up and lead a good life.
At that time, the Marquis of Yong ‘an’s family was very good to her. Madam he was also subservient in front of her, and the family lived in harmony.
When Madam he was pregnant and gave birth to Zheng sanlang, she took the initiative to raise the child in front of Zheng Qiu’s mother. Zheng Qiu’s mother had her own son and could not miss someone else’s son. Seeing that Madam he was so sensible, she let Madam he raise her own son.
About a year later, the two of them were pregnant again.
Madam he did not forget the rules even though she was pregnant. As usual, she woke up every morning to serve Zheng Qiu’s mother.
Both of them were women. Zheng Qiu’s mother knew the pain of pregnancy, so she told Mrs. He not to do this. However, Mrs. He insisted.
Back then, Zheng Qiu’s father had seen it all, but he had not said anything.
Zheng Qiu and Zheng Wei were born one after another.
Another two years passed by uneventfully, and the two of them got pregnant again.
This time, Madam he did the same thing as the last time she was pregnant. She came to serve Zheng Qiu’s mother. Zheng Qiu’s mother realized that her husband was looking at her with a strange expression. He seemed to be very dissatisfied. She immediately knew the reason.
But what did it have to do with her? She had already told Madam he not to come.
