Chapter 367 Red Maple Leaf Birthmark

This was the second shocking thing Rong Tang had heard since the Chinese New Year. The first was Rong Wanli's life experience.

He looked at the Third Master with a strange expression, "Master, don't joke too much. You didn't say this before you came back to me. Why do you want to say it now?"

The Third Master hurriedly said, "Master, calm down. We old men don't want to do anything. Although I didn't tell you directly before, I didn't lie to you a word. Li Jin's mother, Rong Xueyan, is the old master's illegitimate daughter. When he handed Xueyan over to us, he made it clear that she would not be allowed to return to the Jian'an Marquis' Mansion in the future. As for Li Jin, since he didn't have the surname Rong from the beginning, he naturally has no relationship with the Jian'an Marquis."

"Then why are you suddenly saying this?"

Do you want to make things difficult for him?

The Third Master smiled bitterly, "In the past, I also thought about letting Li Jin inherit the bloodline of the old uncle. Even if he didn't want the title, at least the family line would not be extinct. After you came back, uncle, this idea was annihilated. Li Jin is still young and he doesn't have any special talents. There are some things that his little shoulders cannot bear. Uncle treats him well and is willing to train him, which is enough. It's the Li family who wants to do something strange. They have been making a fuss in the village these days, trying to recognize Li Jin as their family. We old men think that Li Jin's uncle's family is not good, and it may not be a good thing for the child to follow them. In the future, when Li Jin becomes talented, he should be free to follow Uncle and do great things."

Rong Tang pondered for a moment. He believed what the Third Master said. When he first took Li Jin in, the Third Master had shown special expectations for Li Jin. This could be seen from his request to change Li Jin's name to a good one and his insistence on not letting him become a slave.

"What do you want me to do? Take him back to the Rong family..."

"No no no!"

The Sixth and Eighth Masters shook their heads together, "Old Master didn't even let Xueyan return to the Rong family, so how could he let Xueyan's child return to the Rong family? He must have a reason for not letting her return."

Rong Tang could understand Rong Zheng's reason for not letting his illegitimate daughter return home. Ever since he arrived, all he'd heard was how loving the old uncle and the old lady were, how they had three sons and two daughters, and how they never took concubines. Now, after being dead for over a decade, it was suddenly revealed that he had an illegitimate daughter who was almost thirty years old. His character was completely shattered.

The Third Master rubbed his hands and said, "Here's what we think. Li Jin's biological father, Li Zongbao, is also a descendant of the Rong family. Why don't you help find his family? Even if everyone is dead, we can leave Li Jin alone to live alone. We can't let that scoundrel couple from the Li family marry into Li Jin's family."

Rong Tang immediately looked at the other masters with new eyes; they had no selfish motives in coming here. Furthermore, even if they had selfish motives, it would be useless. The current Earl of Jian'an was no longer the same as before. Even if he wanted to give him away, the court might not agree.

This matter is also easy to handle, because the key is not to find Li Jin's family, but to have an independent household registration. Just find the grave of an old soldier with the surname Li and no family left, and the Li family of Rongjia Village will not be able to find out anything.

Rong Tang did it right away. He asked Rong Wanli to tell Wei Wu about this and asked him to bring Rong Xian over.

He did not let the three masters leave immediately, but said: "Three masters, there is something important that may please you if I tell you."

Then he asked Rong Zhan to go to the Concubine Xian's villa to invite Aunt Cailan over.

Aunt Cailan was nearby and came over first. In front of the three masters, Rong Tang told them all about Rong Wanli and Li Jin's life stories. Not only were the three masters speechless, but even Aunt Cailan couldn't shut up.

At the end of the year, it was revealed that Rong Tang was not Madam Rong's biological son. Concubine Xian was very sad. Although she had developed a family relationship with Rong Tang, he was not her own blood after all, so she felt sad for the family.

In less than half a year, he had a nephew and a nephew. Li Jin had three grandfathers to guarantee him, and his mother was undoubtedly the old uncle's biological daughter.

but……

Aunt Cailan smiled bitterly, "Based on my understanding of Concubine Xian, she might recognize Young Master Wanli, but not Li Jin."

Rong Wanli's biological father might be the Empress's brother. No matter how lowly his mother is, he is the only remaining bloodline of the Rong family, and the Empress cannot possibly deny him.

The existence of Rong Xueyan is precisely the irony of the love between the old uncle and his wife. Perhaps the old uncle himself did not love Rong Xueyan's mother, and Rong Xueyan's birth was an accident.

Of course, the incident happened a long time ago, and it is just speculation now. However, judging from the way the old man treated Rong Xueyan, he did not intend to value this illegitimate daughter. He just raised her and made sure she didn't starve to death. He didn't even tell his two daughters before he died.

The three masters sighed in unison. If it weren't for Rong Wanli, Li Jin might have had a glimmer of hope to return to the Rong family, but now, it's gone.

Aunt Cailan was waiting anxiously for Rong Wanli and Rong Xian to come back. She wanted to know what else Rong Tang had to say. At the moment, Rong Wanli was only "possibly" the eldest master's son, but it was also very likely that he was not. The queen could not bear the great joy and sorrow.

Besides, even if it was true, it wouldn't change anything. The Rong family couldn't have a daughter-in-law who was a camp prostitute.

Rong Wanli was a little puzzled as to why he brought Rong Xian back, because Rong Xian's face became very solemn after hearing about Li Jin's life story.

As soon as they entered the main hall, all eyes were cast on them.

Rong Tang said slowly, "Uncle Xian, what you told me, is there any actual evidence that what you said is true? There is no room for error in this matter."

Rong Xian also knew that many people could not accept that. Zeng was a camp prostitute, and Rong Jing was not the only man she had. How could it be certain that she was a descendant of the Rong family?

Rong Xian didn't say much. He turned his wheelchair to close the door. When all the doors were closed, he said to Rong Wanli, "Lie down on the table."

Rong Wanli leaned on the table, Rong Xian went over and grabbed his pants and pulled them down, revealing a red maple leaf birthmark on his right buttock.

Rong Wanli screamed and pulled his pants up tightly, his face flushed red, he was so embarrassed. Besides his godfather and the great masters, there was also Aunt Cailan, a female relative.

Aunt Cailan was embarrassed, but the matter was too serious, so she could only ask for another look. This time, she was alone. She carefully spread half of her buttocks and felt the red maple leaf birthmark with her hand to see if it was fake. Finally, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since Master Rong has shown this to me, I believe it will be of great use. I will report this to the Queen immediately. I'm afraid the Queen won't be able to come out tonight. Please wait until tomorrow. No matter what the result is, the Queen will definitely come out."

After seeing Aunt Cailan off, everyone was silent except Rong Wanli, who was confused and pestered Rong Xian for an explanation. Rong Xian dared to do this, which meant he was 100% sure, so this was probably true.

No one left that night, and nothing was said. The next day at noon, the virtuous concubine left the palace and came to the mansion of the Earl of Jian'an.

She also saw Rong Wanli's butt in a small room and started crying at that time, because her grandfather had this red maple leaf birthmark, and her elder brother also had it, and they were exactly the same, and it couldn't be fake at all.

She was very satisfied with Rong Tang, but this could not replace the regret of the extinction of her mother's bloodline. Now she had Rong Wanli, which was great, great.

She then complained to Rong Xian, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I don't believe you can't tell me this."

It’s really sad to think about it. She sent Rong Wanli to southern Xinjiang to find her sister’s child, but she didn’t know that her brother’s child was right in front of her.

Rong Xian was silent for a moment, "My Lady, I can't tell you about this, or my fiancée will become a joke."

Not only that, even Rong Wanli himself is a joke, and few children can bear it.

Rong Wanli finally exploded, "Godfather, can you tell me what happened?"
