Chapter 1158 Murder
Bai Qingyan turned and looked at Wei Zhong.
Seeing Bai Qingyan’s interest, Wei Zhong continued, “I heard that… when Master Sima was young, he was a little confused and indulged in prostitution. Later, he fell seriously ill. The imperial physician diagnosed that he could not have a baby, so he adopted a child from the clan… whose father died early and whose mother was preparing to return to her parents’ home to remarry.”
Sima Ruodan wiped his tears with his sleeve and lowered his head, feeling very embarrassed.
“Who would have thought that six years later, old lady Sima would actually be pregnant… and gave birth to Sima Zhongcheng, so Sima Zhongcheng should be the second child in the family.” Wei Zhong glanced at Sima Ruodan and said with a smile.
Bai Qingyan looked at Bai Qingqi and saw that Bai Qingqi lowered her eyes. She thought that Bai Qingqi had already found out everything.
“Chunzhi, help Miss Sima up…” Bai Qingyan smiled at Sima Danruo, “Sit down and we will talk slowly.”
Sima Ruodan was flattered and kowtowed to Bai Qingyan, but she refused Chunzhi’s move to help her up. She choked up and said, “I am guilty of deceiving the emperor. Your Majesty, please let me kneel down and finish my words! Since the birth of my second uncle, my father’s position in the Sima family has been very embarrassing. Originally, my great-grandfather wanted my grandfather and grandmother to send my father back to the family, but my father’s biological father was gone and his biological mother had remarried, so my grandfather sent my father to the farm to be raised when he was ten years old. From then on, the Sima family ignored my father and treated him as if he didn’t exist.”
When she was seven years old, her father fell ill… She secretly ran away from the farm to ask her grandparents for help, but was beaten out by the servants of the Sima family, who said that the Sima family had never had any master.
When his father saw Sima Ruodan with bruises all over his body, he burst into tears and told Sima Ruodan never to go to the Sima Mansion again.
At that time, Sima Ruodan was full of hatred towards the Sima Mansion, but his father always said that he should not forget the kindness of the Sima family. No matter what, his grandparents raised him well and did not let the people in the village treat him harshly…
So over time, Sima Ruodan became more grateful to her grandparents whom she had never met. She thought that it must be those servants who looked down on her, and her grandparents didn’t even know that she had gone to ask for an audience.
After her father fell ill, her mother worked even harder to pay for his medical expenses, but her father did not survive the second summer and passed away just like that…
Bai Jinzhao opened his mouth slightly, trying not to interrupt Sima Ruodan, but how could a person be like this? Because he couldn’t have an adopted child, now that he had a child of his own, he sent the adopted child away again, as if this person never existed!
No wonder we have never heard that Sima Ping’s father had an older brother in all these years.
“I used to often hear my father mention Uncle Xue. My father said that although Uncle Xue was a businessman, he was very loyal and righteous! Not long after my father passed away, Uncle Xue arrived. Uncle Xue had received a letter from my father saying that my father was terminally ill, so he brought silver to save my father. Who knew that he still missed the trip! Uncle Xue took out my father’s handwritten letter and said that my father wrote to him before he passed away, entrusting me to him and wanting to entrust my life to his son. If Uncle Xue could become my father-in-law, he would be relieved…” Sima Ruodan choked up when he mentioned his father.
“Uncle Xue said that although he was a businessman, his son was well educated and his name was Xue Renyi. He also said… if my mother was willing, he wanted to wait until his son passed the imperial examination before marrying me. My mother thought that this was my father’s wish and agreed!”
Sima Ruodan did not forget that when Uncle Xue passed away, he left all the silver he had to her and her mother so that they could live a better life. She was grateful to Uncle Xue from the bottom of her heart.
Xue Renyi, Bai Qingyan didn’t expect that Sima Rudan’s fiancé was an acquaintance.
Bai Jinse naturally thought of this person and turned to look at her eldest sister. She remembered… after her eldest sister ascended the throne, it was Xue Renyi who took the lead in causing trouble in the Imperial College, but he was finally persuaded by her eldest sister.
“Later, there was a cheating case in the imperial examination, and Xue Renyi was implicated in it. The case was a big deal at the time… My mother went to the Sima Mansion to ask for an audience with Sima Yan, the Chief Censor, and begged Sima Yan to save Xue Renyi’s life! She also told the Sima family about my engagement with Xue Renyi, but who would have thought… my grandmother had my mother kicked out, saying that my father had been expelled from the Sima family and was no longer the head of the family!”
It was at that time that Sima Ruodan found out that his mother was once the daughter of an official family, but her family was destroyed by the evil concubine’s mother’s family. It was his father who begged the Sima family… on the condition that his name would be removed from the names of his grandparents and he would never enter the Sima family again, and the Sima family saved his mother.
“When Xue Renyi took the exam again, his uncle Xue suddenly became seriously ill and he was unable to take the exam, so he returned to his hometown to take care of him. But… Xue Renyi had already shown his talent before the exam. People who have read Xue Renyi’s essays said that Xue Renyi should have been among the top three. Although he was unable to take the exam, he entered the Imperial Academy. Your Majesty is going to hold an exam this year to select talents for the Great Zhou! So the Sima family thought about the marriage…”
Sima Ruodan’s tears fell: “When the Sima family knew that Xue Renyi and I were engaged, they sent someone to take me back to the Sima Mansion and told my mother…My grandmother hated my father for leaving home for my mother, so she didn’t like my mother, but I am my father’s daughter after all…Xue Renyi will definitely be on the list in the future, and when the time comes, I will marry from the Sima Mansion, which will be icing on the cake for Xue Renyi. After all, Xue Renyi’s ancestors were all in business!”
“Mother also thought that if I returned to the Sima family and married out of the Sima family… it would be considered as fulfilling the debt that my father left home for my mother!” Her throat rolled and choked with sobs. “I didn’t want to do it at first. Xue Renyi and I had never met before. I didn’t care whether I could marry Xue Renyi in the end. But I couldn’t bear to make things difficult for my mother, and I was grateful to Uncle Xue, so I followed the nanny to the Sima Mansion. Who knew that they would actually let the Sima family’s illegitimate daughter take my identity to meet Xue Renyi, and also designed a plan to let the personal maid steal my underwear and give it to an old widower. I was accused of adultery and wanted to take me to Yongzhou to marry the old widower!”
When Sima Ruodan said this, his eyes revealed a fierce look, as if there was a tremendous amount of anger accumulated in his heart, and he wished to kill someone.
“I escaped, and only found out when I got home… the day after I left, my mother was forced to death by them! They said that my mother was the daughter of a criminal who escaped. Xue Renyi might become the top scholar in the future. How could the mother-in-law of the top scholar be the daughter of a criminal who was originally going to be sent to the imperial kiln…”
