But, but now something happened in the Hou Mansion, at least the family will be confiscated and exiled, at worst the Manchus will be executed.

At this time, if Feng Yanting's life experience is exposed, then even if he does not die, he will become a slave or be exiled to the border.

He is not yet five years old, so he will definitely not be able to bear this sudden situation.

Now that the Hou Mansion has just been escorted to Beijing, the journey is so difficult.

The masters of the Hou Mansion have been tortured to the point where they only have half their lives left.

Exile is much more cruel than this.

It is basically difficult for the elderly and children to survive.

"No! My Yan Ting cannot die! He, he is the eldest son of the Hou family and the hope for the revitalization of the Wei family!"

Mrs. Zhang simply could not imagine the scene where her son's life experience would be revealed and then he would suffer along with everyone in the Hou Mansion.

She had already lost a son in infancy and could not let anything go wrong with her remaining son.

Thinking of her son who died young, Mrs. Zhang's thoughts were a little confused.

Yes, before Feng Yanting, Mrs. Zhang also gave birth to a son.

The child grew up to three years old smoothly, and the Marquis decided to give his son the title of Crown Prince.

As a result, the seal request was sent to the capital. Before the saint could give his approval, a courtier suggested: "The southwest is deserted, so we can take the young prince to study in the capital!"

On the surface, it seems that they are thinking about the prince of Pingnanhou Mansion——

My dear, the southwest is a barbaric land. Where can there be a capital city with treasures, splendor, and outstanding people?

Come to the capital, where you can study, get medical care, and enjoy all kinds of luxuries. Isn’t it a thousand times better than living in the southwest where insects, snakes, and barbarians are rampant?!

But in fact, the current emperor, Emperor Chengtai, had already intended to consolidate military power.

The Pingnan Marquis Mansion guarding the southwest, with 200,000 elite soldiers under its command, had long become a thorn in the side of the court and Emperor Chengtai.

The courtiers suggested that the young prince should be taken to Beijing to study, but the purpose was to make the eldest son of the Hou family a hostage.

Once Ping Nanhou makes any changes in the southwest, the young prince will immediately become the chicken that "kills the chicken to scare the monkey"!

Mrs. Zhang knew that her husband would not easily rebel, but she could not resist the many treacherous people in the court.

Moreover, the southwest is thousands of miles away from the capital, so there will inevitably be deviations or delays when news is transmitted.

If the young prince was killed because of a misunderstanding, Mrs. Zhang would definitely die of heartache.

No, my son must not enter Beijing!

Just when Mrs. Zhang was thinking about how to beg her husband not to send her son to the capital, a plague broke out in the southwest. The child had weak resistance. Although he was protected in every possible way, he still got infected.

The child died, and Mrs. Zhang cried so hard that her heart broke.

A year later, Mrs. Zhang became pregnant again. While she was pleasantly surprised, she was also very conflicted.

On the one hand, Mrs. Zhang hopes to have another son.

Yu Gong, there is a title in the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, and you can only inherit it if you have a son.

In private, as a woman, after getting married, her son is the foundation for her to establish herself in her husband's family.

On the other hand, Mrs. Zhang was afraid that she would give birth to a son.

Wow, she doesn't want her son, whom she worked so hard to win, to be sent to the capital as a hostage.

When a woman is pregnant, she is inherently sensitive, fragile, and prone to random thoughts.

Mrs. Zhang became more and more frightened after learning the lesson from her eldest son.

As Mrs. Zhang's most trusted confidant, Nanny Zhao discovered Mrs. Zhang's anomaly immediately.

After a heart-to-heart conversation between the master and the servant, Nanny Zhao had an idea and thought of a solution——

"Find someone safe and let's change the child!"

It happened that Gu Xiuniang was behaving like a demon at that time. Aunt Zhao noticed it and conducted an investigation.

So, Grandma Zhao smiled.

She ran to Mrs. Zhang and said, "It seems that my stupid daughter-in-law is pregnant with a girl."

"Madam, if the baby is a young lady, there is no need to worry."

"If you give birth to a young master, I will find a way to exchange the two children."

In this way, Mrs. Zhang does not have to worry about her child being sent to the capital to be used as a hostage, but she can also keep her child under her nose.

Anyway, with a loyal servant like Aunt Zhao, she would never feel wronged or mistreat the child.

After hearing what Nanny Zhao said, Mrs. Zhang thought about it carefully for several days, and suddenly felt that it was very feasible.

She was also brave. She secretly made this plan with Aunt Zhao without consulting her parents or husband.

A few months later, the child was born, and everything went as planned, so Aunt Zhao took advantage of the situation and changed the child.

This time something happened to the Hou Mansion, and the whole family would be held accountable. Mrs. Zhang was extremely grateful for her original decision.

Especially on the way to Beijing, I saw the children in the second and third bedrooms suffering hardships, and the good young master and young lady all became pitiable.

As for her precious son Yanting, he was sitting comfortably in the carriage, protected from the wind and rain.

There is also a very considerate and caring slave like Gu Xiuniang waiting for me!

Once the Hou family is really going to be exiled or executed, her Yanting will survive well, and Feng Zhongliang and his wife will do their best to cultivate Yanting to become a talented person.

When Yanting revitalizes the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, she, Wei Zhang, will be the great contributor to the entire Wei family!

In the future, when the Wei family compiles its genealogy and writes its family mottos, she, the Wei Zhang family, will also be able to occupy a space.

"Yes! Yes, yes! Mother, you are still thoughtful. Yan Ting's life experience must not be leaked!"

Recalling this, Mrs. Zhang shivered. She squeezed Aunt Zhao's hand and said gratefully: "Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise, I would have caused a big disaster!"

Although Captain Qian looks like he is jealous of money, he is actually very shrewd.

Thinking about it, if he didn't have the ability, he wouldn't have become the person Emperor Chengtai could use, let alone be sent to the southwest to escort the Hou family's family.
