Chapter 75 He is your flesh and blood

"Sorry, I'm late."

A gentle voice came from the garden.

Song Shiwei looked up and saw Qin Yueyao coming late, followed by a ragged woman and child.

She hurriedly stood up and went over to ask, "Sister Qin, why are you here so late?"

Qin Yueyao smiled and said, "I was delayed on the way, so I'm late."

Song Shiwei stared at the woman behind her and asked curiously, "Who are they?"

Before Qin Yueyao could speak, the woman saw Cheng Enbo's excited expression and ran over and shouted, "My dear, it's really you."

This one sentence startled everyone so much that they pricked up their ears and looked at Uncle Cheng En.

Cheng Enbo was stunned when the woman called him "My dear". He looked at the woman in front of him, who was so dirty that she looked like a beggar.

He frowned and asked, "Who are you? Did you recognize the wrong person?"

With tears in her eyes, the woman revealed her name: "My dear, I am Jingniang.

Ten years ago, I served you when you went south to Ningzhou and stayed at the Juxing Chamber of Commerce."

When Ningzhou was mentioned, Cheng Enbo immediately had some impressions, and a pretty face with tears in her eyes gradually emerged in his mind.

Zhou, who was sitting nearby, saw this and her face darkened. She stood up and shouted angrily, "How dare these beggars run wild in the Cheng En Marquis's mansion? Come on, kick them out."

The servant came forward and took Jingniang away.

Jingniang shouted, "My dear, I finally found you. You can deny me, but you can't deny your son."

Cheng Enbo was startled for a moment, and looked at the child who was following Jingniang, who looked to be about eight or nine years old. He hurriedly shouted, "Stop."

The servant let go of Jingniang.

Jingniang took her son to Cheng Enbo and said, "My dear, his name is Sheng Ge'er. He is nine years old this year. He is your own flesh and blood. Take a good look at him."

Uncle Cheng En looked at Sheng Ge'er. He raised his little face with a pair of dark and bright eyes. Even though his face was dirty, he did not look afraid or timid.

Song Shiwei looked at Qin Yueyao with a confused look on her face and asked, "What's going on?"

Qin Yueyao explained: “On the way here, this mother and son fell in front of my carriage.

They seemed to have not eaten for a long time, so I asked someone to find some food for them and then asked about their situation.

The woman said that she brought her son to the capital to find the child's father, and her child's father was named Song Moting, a businessman.

When I heard this, I thought, isn't this Uncle Cheng En? So I brought him here to find out if Uncle Cheng En is the person they are looking for. "

"So that's it."

Song Shiwei asked her father: "Dad, is what this woman named Jingniang said true? Do you think you had a past with her?"

Cheng Enbo admitted: "That's true."

When he took over the Xu family's business, he was at the peak of his career, and he went south to Ningzhou to handle the business there.

The people from the Chamber of Commerce also thoughtfully prepared someone to serve him, and that was Jingniang.

During the time in Ningzhou, he and Jingniang were just like an ordinary couple, and he also thought about taking her back to the capital and giving her a legitimate status.

But thinking of Zhou's jealous nature, he had to give up the idea and leave the person in Ningzhou.

After returning to the capital, he gradually forgot about Jingniang.

But he didn't expect that the fleeting romance back then would lead to his having a daughter outside, which was such a great joy.

Having no children has always been his regret for many years. Cheng Enbo was a little excited. He walked up to Sheng Ge'er and asked, "What month were you born?"

Sheng Ge'er replied, "The ninth year of Yongning, the first day of the sixth month."

Cheng Enfu calculated the time and found it matched. He laughed and patted Sheng Ge'er on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, I am your father, call me father."

"master!"

Zhou cried out in shock, her face pale, and she said, “This woman who came out of nowhere brought a child and wanted to pretend to be your son.

Besides, since she was pregnant with your child, why didn't she come to recognize him earlier, but waited until the child was this big?

There are many doubts in this matter, and we need to investigate it thoroughly. It is better to settle them down first, and then send people to Ningzhou to investigate thoroughly."

Cheng Enbo frowned and asked Jingniang, "Why didn't you come to look for me before?"

Jingniang seemed to have suffered a great injustice, she sobbed softly and said: "My husband said that he would send someone to take me back, but I waited and waited until my belly got big and still didn't see my husband.

I am a decent woman who got pregnant before marriage. I have been looked down upon by so many people. I had no choice but to leave Ningzhou. I had been planning to come to the capital to find you.

But the capital city was too far away, I had no money, no direction, and I was pregnant with a big belly.

Later I fainted on the road and was rescued by the nuns in the nunnery.

After hearing about my experience, they told me that I was cheated.

It is said that you must have a family, and your wife will definitely not tolerate me and the child. If I really go there, I am afraid there will be two deaths.

I was so scared that I didn't dare to come look for you. I could only live in a nunnery temporarily, and gave birth to my child there. I thought I would live like this for the rest of my life.

But the nunnery was not very popular. People in the nunnery fell ill and passed away. Soon, only I and the abbess who took me in were left.

The abbot passed away last year, and I had to leave with my children. I was left with no other options, so I decided to try my luck in Beijing.

I don't ask you to take me in, I just ask you to give Sheng Ge'er a chance to survive, and not let him suffer with me in this predicament.

As long as my husband lets him recognize his ancestors, I can leave my life here!"

As she said this, she was about to crash into the table.

Song Shiwei hurriedly stopped the man and said, "Why are you doing this? Sheng'er is still so young, he can't be without his mother.

My father is not an ungrateful person. If Sheng'er is really his flesh and blood, he will not ignore him.

My stepmother is also a gentle and generous person, how could she not tolerate you, you can rest assured. "

She patted Jingniang's hand and comforted her.

Zhou looked at Song Shiwei and suddenly remembered that she said she had a gift for her. Could it be that she was the one who brought this vixen here?

She gritted her teeth, her heart filled with hatred as she said, "This is just your one-sided statement. Who knows if this child is the master's own flesh and blood?"

As long as she insisted that the child was a bastard, he would never be able to enter the gate of her Cheng'enbo Mansion.

Song Shiwei frowned and said, "Mother's suspicion is not wrong. Is there any way to prove Sheng'er's background?"

"What's so difficult about this?"

A deep and clear voice was heard from the banquet, and a man in a green shirt stood up.

Song Shiwei recognized this person. She called out in surprise, "Doctor Chen, do you have a solution?"

The person who spoke was Chen Jintang, the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau. He and Cheng Enbo were old friends, so he also came to attend the banquet.

He walked over and said, "As long as we do a blood test, we will know whether this child is Brother Song's flesh and blood."
