Chapter 8470 The truth
Beijing.
The fragrance of osmanthus.
"Son..."
Qu Yaxiang hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't decide.
Although Ren Qingyuan said he was ready, the news was too unexpected.
"Madam, just tell the young master, we can't hide this matter."
Ning Jing held a plate, sat aside, and advised while peeling soybeans.
"Okay."
Looking at Ren Qingyuan's expectant and anxious expression, Qu Yaxiang took a deep breath and said slowly: "Son, this whistle...it belongs to you It’s a gift from your father!”
Finally speaking out, the stone that had been weighing on Qu Yaxiang's heart finally fell smoothly.
"My father? He...didn't he pass away at an early age?"
Ren Qingyuan thought that no news would surprise him, but in fact, after hearing what his mother said After that, his brain felt as if it had been hit by a giant hammer.
Suddenly, he was confused and didn't know what to do.
“It’s my fault.”
Qu Yaxiang smiled bitterly and said: "In the early years, I really thought that your father was no longer alive... Who would have thought that your father was imprisoned for more than ten or twenty years."
"Locked in prison? What crime has he committed?"
Ren Qingyuan asked suspiciously.
Since he was a child, his mother told him that his father was an upright man.
Therefore, in his heart, the image of his father is extremely majestic and tall.
How could such a father be imprisoned for more than ten or twenty years?
Only serious criminals who have committed serious crimes will be imprisoned.
"He didn't commit any crime. Your father, he is a good man, how could he do such things as chickens and dogs and robbers."
Qu Yaxiang's tone was very sure and firm.
“Then why?”
"It's not appropriate for you to know about this now. All you need to know is that your father is not a sinner."
Qu Yaxiang shook her head.
Seeing his mother's attitude, Ren Qingyuan knew that his mother would not tell him the reason.
In this case, he asked the most critical question.
“My dad, who is he?”
As long as he knew who his father was, these mysteries might be solved.
"Your dad, his surname is not Ren. This surname is Ren, my mother's surname..."
"Your dad, his surname is Taishu, and his name has only one character, Yi. "
"What? My dad, is he Taishu Yi?"
Ren Qingyuan looked in disbelief.
"Yes, that's the Taishu Yi you are thinking of, the Great General Taishu Yi of the Northern Conquest!"
When mentioning this name, Qu Yaxiang looked extremely proud, and her eyes seemed to light up a bit.
Ren Qingyuan stood up, quickly left the room and went to the yard.
Qu Yaxiang wanted to catch up, but was held down by Ning Jing.
"Madam, leave him alone for a while."
"Okay..."
Qu Yaxiang sat down again and peeled soybeans with Ning Jing.
After so many years of life, she is no longer the arrogant young lady. When it comes to housework, she is not inferior to An Jing.
Ren Qingyuan stood in the yard, looking at the ivy on the wall.
This is the mid-winter season. The ivy has turned yellow and has dropped many leaves, revealing a depressed scene.
But Ren Qingyuan knew that in the spring and summer of the coming year, the ivy would become lush again.
Winter passes and spring comes again, life comes again and again, this is the truth of the world.
And human life is not without its origin. As long as people live in this world, they will have parents.
Even with so many years of suffering, at this moment, at least he has his mother by his side and his father is still alive, which is enough.
No matter what his father's status is, whether he is a high-ranking official or an ordinary citizen, he is still his father...
When Ren Qingyuan returned to the house again, the excitement on his face was gone. The color is only calm and calm.
"My son, are you okay?" Qu Yaxiang asked with concern.
"It's okay, mother, my father..."
Before Ren Qingyuan could ask, his words were interrupted by Qu Yaxiang.
"I was just about to tell you."
"After your father escaped from prison, he was appointed by the emperor as the general of the Northern Campaign. Time was short, so he came out to see his mother, and then he was about to Let's go to the north with our troops immediately."
Qu Yaxiang said.
"No wonder Mom, you put away all the sacrifices and portraits of my father."
Ren Qingyuan suddenly understood the reason for the recent series of strange things.
"Your father is still alive. Those things are unlucky, so of course I have to put them away for my mother."
"This whistle was given to you by your father. As long as it is blown, the nearby imperial guards will definitely Come here."
"This new house was bought with the money your father gave me, and there are hidden guards from the imperial court secretly protecting it nearby."
Qu Yaxiang said.
"My child understands."
Ren Qingyuan nodded.
It was a common practice of the imperial court to have hidden guards protect the families of generals who went on expeditions.
Protection is real, and so is monitoring.
"Your father has done nothing wrong to us. He has no other wives, concubines, or children. Son, please don't resent your father. These years have not been easy for him."
Qu Yaxiang again warned.
"How can a child resent his father?"
What Ren Qingyuan said was naturally true.
Filial piety is the foundation of being a human being.
Ren Qingyuan is also a very filial scholar.
"Mom, I will go back to the academy tomorrow and study hard."
Ren Qingyuan said.
He is going to do his best to gain fame. Since his father is the general who conquered the north, his son must live up to his reputation and rely on his own abilities to shine on his family and not embarrass his ancestors.
"Don't worry about your father's family for now. When your father comes back from the front line, he will take care of it himself." Qu Yaxiang said.
The uncle Taishu Yi belongs to is originally from a famous family, with a very early inheritance of generals. Taishu Yi was the pride of Taishu's family back then, and it was also the banner for Taishu's family to be glorious again.
But with the disappearance of Taishu Yi and the emperor's condemnation, the entire Taishu Yi fell into darkness and decline.
So much so that after Taishu Yi appeared in front of the world again, he did not dare to return to his family.
"My child knows."
Those things have nothing to do with him. Ren Qingyuan plans to act according to his own plan and ignore everything else.
"Mom, my father is on the front line, will he be in danger?" Ren Qingyuan asked worriedly.
“When marching to fight, there is no danger.”
"I still remember that when your father came back from an expedition, I took off his armor. The armor was stained with blood and stuck to his back. When I pulled it, a piece of flesh was torn off..."
Qu Yaxiang sighed.
"But you don't have to worry about your dad. Your dad is a real genius. He will be fine."
Qu Yaxiang firmly believes in this, and this belief also includes There is a kind of worship in it.
“Mom, if you don’t let me practice martial arts, are you worried that I will go to the battlefield like my father?”
Ren Qingyuan suddenly remembered that he had been taught since he was a child not to practice martial arts.
