Chapter 454: Yan Yiyi’s Method (2)
Yan Yiyi and Shen Ye did not inquire much about whether the concubine's son could take part in the imperial examination. After all, Shen Ye had no ambition to take the imperial examination, so it was understandable that he was not interested and did not understand the matter.
He and Yan Yiyi were in sync and winked at Dahu. Dahu received the hint and immediately spoke: "Mom, a concubine's son can participate in the imperial examination, but his reputation is not good, and he may also be questioned about his family style and character.
Therefore, some women would rather become concubines in order to have a better reputation for their children, and some would even do anything to become someone else's concubine.
Being born out of wedlock has a bad reputation and is inferior to others, but after all, you have a family to rely on and a bright background, which is better than being born out of wedlock and not being able to see the light of day."
Xin Ye was not clear about the specific information of the imperial examination. Most of the people who planned to take part in the imperial examination knew about it, but he did not expect that his parents did not have a marriage contract.
If Yan Yiyi hadn't said it today, he would have been labeled as the son of a concubine, but he was obviously the legitimate eldest son!
For the sake of his career, and more importantly for the future of them and their son, he must convince his mother to take back her identity!
There was a flash of determination in Da Hu's eyes, but when he raised his eyes to look at Aunt Qi, he revealed a pitiful and aggrieved expression, and Aunt Qi was instantly heartbroken.
"Mother, I am the legitimate eldest son of the Qi family, but I became a concubine's son inexplicably. I cannot accept this and I hate it!" As he spoke, Da Hu's eyes were filled with tears that were about to fall, making him very lovable.
Da Hu was never a crybaby, but she cried out of grievance like this, with resentment towards that man and a stubborn determination not to cry in her eyes, which deeply hurt Aunt Qi, a mother who loved her son more than anything else.
One is the son whom she had raised with great difficulty and who had the hope of becoming an official through imperial examination; the other is the man who had abandoned them for more than ten years and whom she had long regarded as dead. It was obvious what choice to make.
She can die for her son!
Therefore, she was determined to take revenge on the man who had let her and her son down and regain the "legitimate identity" that belonged to them.
Aunt Qi looked at Yan Yiyi firmly: "Daughter-in-law Daye, I want to find that man. Please teach me, what should I do?"
Yan Yiyi curled her lips and smiled. Aunt Qi's final decision was within her expectations. As a reward, she decided to tell them a secret to reduce her guilt.
"Aunt Qi, the child that woman gave birth to was not Dahu's. She targeted Dahu just to find someone to take over. After all, he had 'amnesia' at the time, so he was easy to control."
Da Hu never understood why the man had never returned to the village. As long as he went back to take a look, the woman's lies would be exposed.
Moreover, the woman's excuse was so lame, but she still believed it? Doesn't it mean that the man was either too stupid or had some ulterior motive?
Thinking of this, Da Hu's eyes lit up, and then hatred and anger filled his eyes.
"Sister-in-law, is he a general in the capital?"
"Yes, he is a fifth-rank officer serving as deputy general of the Beijing Suburban Camp. His current father-in-law is a third-rank officer."
Da Hu and Aunt Qi both understood from this sentence that in order to get promoted, Qi Gousheng accepted the new name Qi Sheng and his sudden wife Meng after he lost his memory.
It is estimated that he was able to be transferred to the capital thanks to his current father-in-law. I think he was not very good on the battlefield, otherwise, even if he was transferred, he would not be a mere fifth-rank deputy general if he had military merits.
