"No need to bother, aunt, Mr. Shan is actually my cousin. We are all family members, so there is no need to be so polite." Shengze suddenly spoke.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Shen family was shocked.
Especially Shen Qingqian, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared, and the expression on her face was indescribable.
Shengze's cousins were either from the Princess Princess's family in the Jin Dynasty, or from the natal family of the late Empress.
However, the first empress's natal family, along with Taifu Shen and others, had long been convicted and executed by Sheng Zhan, especially the men, who even spared their infant babies.
Therefore, Shan Mancheng could only be the son of a certain princess or princess.
Based on the previous weirdness of Shan Mancheng, his identity is self-evident.
No wonder Shengze had such a strange expression when he came back from the customs. He must have known Shan Mancheng's identity at that time, right?
This man is really calm. He didn't say such important information before.
"You are actually cousins? Then you hid it so well before that I didn't even notice it." Shen Yong said carelessly.
Shen Qingning also nodded in agreement, "Even so, I didn't realize that you two actually knew each other."
Wu and others didn't know the inside story, but they guessed that the Shan family was afraid of getting married and being exiled, so Shan Mancheng didn't recognize his brothers. "Okay, okay, then I will wrong Young Master Shan tonight. Everyone, hurry up." Take a seat and we’ll talk after dinner.”
Originally, I had cooked a few more dishes tonight because Shen Xiao came back, which was enough to eat. Since they were all relatives, Wu didn't want to be polite anymore.
It's cold at night and the food gets cold quickly, so it's better to eat first.
After everyone took their seats, Shengze stood up and bowed to Wu and others to explain a few words.
"Everyone, I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that my cousin and I met each other not long ago when the general sent me out on business. Things have been complicated recently and I didn't have time to tell you. It is indeed my fault. Please forgive me. .”
His few words that were neither humble nor arrogant made the grudges that had just arisen in the hearts of Wu and others disappear instantly.
"You kid, what are you talking about? We are in a special situation, don't we know it yet? Stop talking and sit down to eat." Wu looked at Sheng Ze and said with a smile.
Just now, she felt that the married brothers didn't say anything because they didn't trust them, and she felt a little uncomfortable, but it was gone now.
Others also expressed that they didn't mind. Because of Shengze's explanation, this meal was considered a feast for both host and guest.
After dinner, Shengze took Shan Mancheng home without any delay.
Shen Qingqian looked at the backs of the three of them and smiled inwardly. They were really cousins and cousins!
Wait a minute, if Shan Mancheng is Chengji of the Jiayu tribe, then wasn't it because the Tuoyu tribe came to the valley just to hunt him down?
Shen Qingqian frowned and thought about the situation again, looking at Chengjia's yard next door with even more complicated eyes.
Apart from anything else, Shan Mancheng's acting skills are indeed very good.
…
"Tell me, why are you here?" Shengze was sitting in the main room with tea that Ling Yun had just brewed.
Shan Mancheng raised his eyebrows, "Can't I come? Cousin..."
He also deliberately lengthened his cousin's voice, which made Shengze feel uncomfortable, "Speak carefully!"
The last time he saw Shan Mancheng in the Jiayu Clan royal court, he was not like this. At that time, he still had a slight appreciation for him in his heart.
It would be an understatement to say that the eighteen-year-old boy Cheng Ji could not only make the Jiayu clan continue to grow, but also make a move for the Yunzhou Shan family in the Jin Dynasty.
