Chapter 145 Zhang Tianci
"Let him go! Come to me if you have any problem!" Shan Huairen finally couldn't help it and threw away the resignation and confidence he had always had.
"What?! Butler Shan knows him now?!" Song Qingci did not loosen his foot from stepping on his hand, but he stopped chasing.
"Madam, I admit everything you found out. You can do whatever you want to me. Why do you have to attack an irrelevant person? Don't you think it's too cruel to treat a weak scholar like this? "Shan Huairen looked at Song Qingci, his eyes full of resentment.
"I'm cruel?!" Song Qingci was so angry that he laughed, "Butler Shan, I sincerely suggested to you before that you tell us everything you have done over the years. It's a pity that you wasted this suggestion. I said that I like to punish people by association. You don't think I was joking, do you?"
"Madam, I have already pleaded guilty. What else do you want me to say?!"
"Of course it's the mysterious man behind you."
If the time was not too short and the staff was not limited, and she had not found out who was behind Butler Shan, would she have wasted her breath here? !
"You...what nonsense are you talking about!" Butler Shan was obviously stunned for a moment, "I did all these things, there is no mysterious person."
"No?! All right. I won't force you." Song Qingci said as he began to push harder.
The scholar hadn't recovered from the pain yet when the pain came again.
He couldn't help it any longer, and shouted to the housekeeper, "Dad! Save me! Dad, save me! Tell me what you know! I... I really can't stand it! Dad! Save me!"
It was not until this time that other people in Jing'an Hall knew that this scholar was actually Shan Huairen's son.
The old lady looked carefully at the scholar's eyebrows and eyes, and then looked at Shan Huairen's. Sure enough, there was a 70% similarity between the eyebrows and eyes, but the scholar was a little too young. They didn't look like father and son, but more like grandfather and grandson.
"Butler Shan, you have to think carefully. You have done so many things just to protect your son. If I kill him directly, your life will be wasted!"
When the scholar heard that he was going to be killed, he was so scared that he wet his pants.
"No, I don't want to die! Dad! Tell me what you know! Please, Dad!"
"Heavenly gift! Heavenly gift!" Butler Shan felt as if his heart was on fire when he saw his young son in such pain. He wanted to rush to save him, but Feng Yi held him down tightly, and he couldn't move at all.
"Zhang Tianci, your father really doesn't seem to want to save you. Originally, I was planning to just give you a light punishment and then let you go. After all, you have only studied and have not done anything else in these years. It's a pity that your father didn't plan to leave you alive." Song Qingci said this very sincerely, so sincerely that she almost believed it herself.
This Zhang Tianci is the late son of housekeeper Shan.
Before entering the General's Mansion, when Shan Huairen was still called Zhang Wenyuan, he was married and had a wife and children. It was just because of the famine that he was separated from his family.
It is not known whether his luck was good or bad. He was the only one in his family who was separated by the refugees. However, he was rescued by the old general who defended the country.
At that time, he was still a young man and the old general had not yet married.
He stayed with the old general and became his personal servant. He was also given a name.
This has been going on for many years.
During this period, he returned to He County many times to look for his former relatives, but unfortunately he had no success.
Almost twenty years ago, when he returned to He County again to see if he could find his relatives, he finally found his younger brother and his family.
Later he learned that since he was separated from his family, they had followed other refugees to the more prosperous area of Jiangnan to make a living.
Unfortunately, the life of refugees was not easy even in a place like Jiangnan. Being at the bottom of society, they really suffered too much.
My parents were old and eventually they didn’t make it, passing away in the second year of fleeing famine. My younger sister also got married not long after my parents passed away.
His wife and children also lost their lives in these years of hardship.
Finally, my brother and his family could no longer make ends meet, so they decided to return to their hometown, Hexian County, to take a look. They thought that even if they were to die, they would die in their hometown.
In this way, Shan Huairen successfully found his relatives.
At that time, Shan Huairen was already the steward of the General's Mansion. He not only had money, but also some power.
Soon, I helped my brother's family regain their foothold in He County.
His younger brother Zhang Wenqing saw that his brother had been alone for many years, so he wanted to find a matchmaker for him. At least he wanted to leave a descendant for this branch of the Zhang family.
Before Shan Huairen found his relatives, he really didn't think about marrying again. First, he didn't know that his wife and children were long gone, and second, although he was the steward of the general's mansion, he was still a slave.
Even if he married and had children, his children would still be slaves.
It would be fine for him to be a slave for his entire life, but he didn't want his son to be a slave from the moment he was born.
Later, Zhang Wenqing came up with a solution. He found a young and beautiful woman for him in his hometown of Hexian County. They did not marry each other, but only wanted to have a child. The child was registered under the name of other relatives of their Zhang family.
Then, he paid for this relative to take Zhang Tianci to live in another state, far away from He County.
In this way, the child has the surname Zhang, but is apparently not related to him, and is born into a good family.
Over the years, Shan Huairen had to give that relative a large sum of money every year just to raise his young son.
Shan Huairen was the steward of the General's Mansion and was very generous. The Zhang family, who had long been in poverty, were naturally willing to help him raise his son.
Shan Huairen was afraid that his son would be raised elsewhere and end up being alienated from him, so he told him the truth at an early stage.
Zhang Tianci is the one who is protected by Shan Huairen. In addition to knowing that Shan Huairen is his biological father, he has also been in the spotlight for many years.
He really didn't know anything else.
Shan Huairen visits him once a year, which serves as a way for the father and son to keep in touch.
Not only that, Shan Huairen also hired many teachers and tutors for him in order to train his son to become a top scholar.
It's a pity that Zhang Tianci has some talent in studying, but not much. It's not a big problem for him to pass the imperial examination, but as for the top scorer, that's just wishful thinking.
If it weren't for this incident, next year would be the time for him to end up in trouble.
