Chapter 285

"Moon mountain villa... I haven't been there for years." Xu said casually after taking a sip of hot tea from the servant girl.

Lanyue mountain villa is a hot spring villa of the Wu family outside Ningyang city. In the past, when Xu did not follow Wu Jingming to Beijing, he would accompany Princess Dingnan to live for a while every winter.

"I remember hearing my second uncle say that I was born in lanyue mountain villa." Wu Tsui said.

"Yes......" Xu smiled and nodded: "when my mother was pregnant with you, she was not very well. She was still unstable at the back, so she went to the villa to rest and recuperate with your grandmother and father, but who knows you came out earlier... You were too late to return to the city at that time. Fortunately, she was on guard. Mrs. Wen followed her all the time, so she gave birth to my ah yuan in the villa."

He also said, "I came out early and was inevitably weak. Therefore, your grandfather made an exception and named you Wu Tsui. I just hope you can grow up safely."

She said slowly, and Wu Tsung listened quietly.

He used to know about this, although it was easy for no one around him to talk about the details.

"A mother must have suffered a lot in order to have a son -"

"Mother is not bitter at all. My ah yuan really suffered when he was a child..." Xu's eyes seemed a little distant.

Looking at such a mother in front of her, Wu Tsung hesitated briefly.

These days, he was eager to verify some things, but the more he investigated, the more he felt strange.

And then he was even a little unsure whether he should ask his mother——

This feeling of hesitation is very complex, both in the face of my mother and in the face of my heart.

But the hesitation soon dissipated.

He always pays more attention to the truth.

"Mother, son, there's something I want to ask you alone."

Xu's face smiled slightly, but he just calmly let the servant girls go outside to guard.

"What is it?"

Wu Chiu asked, "my son wants to ask his mother, before and after his son was born, but are there other children born in the villa?"

Xu's fingers holding the tea cup tightened slightly.

"Other children...?" she shook her head and said, "I've never heard of this... As far as I know, you were the only one born in the moon range villa among the descendants of the Wu family."

Then he looked at the boy in front of him: "ah yuan, why... Do you ask?"

Wu Chiu answered truthfully, "my son went out that day with Mr. Fang. Mr. Fang was a Taoist born in the moon range villa. When he followed me through a plum forest, he saw that there were arrays in the forest -"

"Array...?" Xu asked in a daze, "what array?"

"The array set up for the people buried in the forest can help them die, add blessings and pray for the perfection of reincarnation in the afterlife." Wu Chiu said, "and it is said that this array is mostly used for early babies."

"This..." Xu seemed to feel a little incredible and said, "although the early dead child can't set up a memorial tablet to enter the ancestral grave, it can't be our descendants of the Wu family buried in the plum forest - can it be any servant girl in the villa who can't keep the child?"

"My son had this guess at first."

"But later, my son found something else --"

As soon as he dropped this sentence, he clearly noticed the silent emotional ups and downs on his mother.

"Mr. Fang guessed from the position of the array that there was something corresponding to the array in the high Pavilion in Meilin - his son found a dark space in a secret room in the pavilion, and there were baby swaddling clothes, a blessing card and a jade pendant in the space."

Children who die young cannot set up memorial tablets for sacrifice. Their families can only add afterlife blessings to them in this way as a consolation - this is not harmful to nature, nor is it something that can not be seen in the light.

However, according to Mr. Fang, this array in the moon range villa is written by an expert.

How could ordinary servants and maids be able to do such a secret work?

But this question, he no longer had to ask his mother——

"The jade peas like as two peas, the son has already identified it, it is Wu Jia's property, and his son has the same piece." Wu Yang said, "even the birthday of the blessing card is only half an hour's time with the son."

"...." Xu's face was already a little white. For a long time, she asked softly, "those things... Did you take them back?"

Her voice is very light and soft, but there is an obvious concern.

She was not a person who couldn't hold her breath and hide her emotions.

But as a mother, the existence of some scars is always more powerful than other things. No matter how hard you were, you have to become extremely fragile and collapse in an instant.

"My son didn't take it."

Seeing his mother's reaction in his eyes, the deepest doubts in the youth's heart were amplified. However, his biggest worry at this time was his mother's emotions and feelings, so he slowed down his voice slightly: "Mr. Fang said that blessing cards and relics cannot be taken out, otherwise the array will be invalid."

He didn't have much faith in these things, but since he tried to convince people, he couldn't claim to damage the efforts of others.

"OK..."

Xu's red eyes were relieved, and he didn't seem to want to hide his emotions.

"So mother knows the truth, doesn't she?"

Xu smiled reluctantly and said in a dumb voice, "very few people know about this matter. It's a family matter that should not be spread out. I didn't intend to talk to you, but in the final analysis, it's just an old thing... Now you really want to hear it, and your mother has nothing to say."

Wu Tsung waited for her to go on.

"In fact, the child between you and Merlin is a twin brother, both born to their mother..."

Twins?

Wu Tsung was slightly stunned.

In an aristocratic family, it is not auspicious to have a legitimate twin.

In particular, his father is a descendant. As his father's eldest son, he was born to inherit the position of descendant.

He once heard his second uncle say something secret - Wu's lineage had given birth to twins, leaving only a precedent.

So, is that why the child was born——

Xu seemed to have guessed his idea and timely said, "both of you were born weak. It's because he was less fortunate and couldn't last for a few days... Even if you were raised to three years old, you're healthy..."

In September of pregnancy, she was always trembling because of the bad fetal appearance. In that case, it would be impossible for a woman from an ordinary family to give birth to her child smoothly.

It was also because she paid too much attention and attention that she felt more and more difficult to accept when the child was really leaving her.

But all this has nothing to do with ah yuan.

And their brothers are quite simila
