Chapter 1419
What does the princess want? Not only the Ming family's side branches want to know, but even the main branch wants to know.
Shi Anxia sat upright and did not respond directly, but slowly talked about the history of the Ming family. "As far as this princess knows, the first recorded ancestor is a village called Mingyang. At that time, there was no Beiyi Kingdom, and most people in Mingyang Village had the surname Ming..."
It was not until the eighth year after the establishment of Beiyi Kingdom that Mingyang Village encountered an unprecedented mountain torrent, leaving only a few people in the village. Mingyang Village also became a swamp and was uninhabitable.
This part of the clan history is little known.
The Emperor of Beiyi was kind-hearted. Upon learning of this, he sent people to settle the refugees of Mingyang Village in Wanyi Town, Dongpan Prefecture, where they started a new life.
Ming Chengzhong's head was buzzing. The page in his hand felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. He felt an inexplicable surge of uneasiness as he listened to the family history.
Shi Anxia looked at the paper Bei Hui handed over, glanced at it, and said calmly, "At that time, several young men in the village had lost their loved ones and experienced this disaster, so they decided to form a family. One of them was named Mingkui, and the other was named Minggui. Mingkui is the ancestor of my great-grandfather, and Minggui is the ancestor of your side branch."
"No, no, no! It's not like that!" Ming Chengxin already knew in his heart that the engagement would probably be broken off today.
Shi Anxia was indeed preparing to break off relations today. After so many generations of Ming family members merged, how could one really tell which ancestor was from which lineage?
But it doesn't matter, if she says yes, it's yes, and if she says no, it has to be yes. This relationship must be broken off completely.
"Back then, there was a famine in Dongpanzhou and there was not enough food. My great-grandfather's relatives starved to death, which forced him to flee and beg at a young age. He met Mr. Qian Yanzhao, a nobleman of our Ming family. Am I right, great-grandfather?"
As Ming Chengyuan followed Shi Anxia's story, his memory drifted back to the difficult days in the past, "Yes, the princess is right..."
He begged along the way and met the nobleman Qian Yanzhao.
Before Qian Yanzhao's death, Ming Chengyuan promised to let his descendants take the surname Qian, but was rejected.
Qian Yanzhao said that he had no worries in this world and did not need descendants.
Shi Anxia continued, "My great-grandfather saw that you were living in misery, so he sent people to take you all to Jiangcheng, Muzhou to settle down. But you kept telling others that my great-grandfather was Ming Jintong's adopted son."
"Brother is my father's adopted son! His kindness is greater than heaven, you can't deny it even if you want to! Do you want to put your great-grandfather in an unfilial and unjust position?" Ming Chengzhong's voice trembled, "It's all clearly recorded in the family tree."
"Before you say this, can you please have some shame?" Shi Anxia opened her lips slightly, her beautiful eyes calm and indifferent, "I guess my great-grandmother must have heard your nonsense on a daily basis, no wonder she tolerates you everywhere.
When my great-grandfather brought you to Jiangcheng, Muzhou, he had already started a family and a career. How can you say he raised you?
It was at that time that Ming Jintongben fled from Dongpanzhou to Wanzhou, and received the kindness of my great-grandfather. He brought his children and came to seek refuge with him, crying and shouting that he wanted to give my great-grandfather a home, saying that he should be treated like his own son.
In fact, who gave whom a home? I only know that the house my great-grandfather bought in his early years has been occupied by you until today. I wonder if the side branches have ever raised my great-grandfather for a day? "
Since Ming Jintong was the only surviving person of the older generation, he naturally became the head of the Ming family, in charge of the family tree and major affairs of the Ming family.
Ming Jintong, on the grounds that Ming Chengyuan was very pitiful because both his parents had passed away, insisted on treating Ming Chengyuan as his son with tears in his eyes.
Ming Chengyuan thought that it was his uncle who loved him, so he did not refuse it forcefully, but he did not take it seriously either.
It turns out that Ming Jintong was not his biological uncle, but his cousin. Because Ming Chengyuan's parents died early, he was too young to know and thought he was his biological uncle. Ming Jintong tampered with the family tree without authorization, writing Ming Chengyuan as his adopted son, and he spread the word.
Shi Anxia said coldly, "From now on, you will get involved in any of my great-grandfather's family affairs, and you will want to get a piece of any business. But whenever my family encounters any difficulties, you will kick them when they are down."
Ming Chengyi and the others were in a mess, they had been telling lies all their lives, and they believed they were true. This was also the fundamental reason why they dared to ask for money and property from Ming Chengyuan's family again and again.
The descendants of Ming Chengyi and others have always believed that Ming Chengyuan was Ming Jintong's adopted son.
