Boss, she was forced to be the wife

Chapter 61 The Rat in the Gutter
These few words seemed to drain all his strength, and after he finished speaking, he collapsed on the ground and wept uncontrollably.

Seeing how painful it was that she really regarded him as her father, the little mouse felt that her heart was clenched together. He was the best person to face her in the past 13 years of her life. She tremblingly reached out her hand to help her. However, considering his identity, he finally stopped his hand in mid-air.

Looking back on the past few months in the Ye family, how much warmth this gentle and firm father in front of her gave her. She really wanted to keep this warmth.
But things can't be hidden anymore, if everything is just a meaningless struggle, wouldn't it be better to reveal it directly?
She paused, closed her eyes, and tears fell from her eyes. After a long time, she opened her eyes and said:

"From the beginning to the end, I have always regarded you as my real father. It would be great if you and mother were my real parents."

As soon as the words came out, the round-faced child suddenly pulled out the middle-aged man's hand that was holding her tightly, pointed at the little mouse and kowtowed while saying:
"I beg the official to check clearly, this person has admitted that he is a fake! I beg the official to check clearly! I am the real daughter of the Ye family! Ye Ziqi!"

Accompanied by the child's pleas, Ye Ying's husband opened his mouth a little unacceptably, and tears fell down instantly.

He has had a good impression of this child since he entered the door. They are so similar. After getting along for just half a month, he concluded that this is his child. It is so cruel to think of the truth when it is really spoken.

"So, were you the one who pushed me into the water?"

The little mouse shook his head in a panic:

"No, no, I don't have a father. How could I push you into the water? In my opinion, you have long been my real father."

But all of this collapsed. Ever since Mo Luo appeared and was seen by the little mouse, her belief collapsed, the lies she built collapsed, and the trust between them also collapsed.
"It's her, she's the one who pushed it!"

The little mouse pointed stubbornly at the round-faced child, and said firmly.

"Nonsense, you are a fake daughter, what are your intentions?"

The round-faced child stood up angrily and wanted to kick him, but was pushed back by a few Jin Yiwei, and the little mouse didn't bother to pretend after telling the truth, but just sneered desperately with contempt from the corners of his eyes He quickly glanced at the round face filled with righteous indignation.

Seeing that the situation in the court was out of control, the Minister of Civil Affairs patted the tree to silence everyone.

Ye Ying took the opportunity to step forward and lift up the man who was lying on the ground. He sighed and looked at the little mouse, and looked back to the side with complicated eyes.

"Little mouse, you really didn't push Mr. Ye's husband into the water?!"

"It's not me, I didn't do it!"

Even though she knew that no one would believe what she said at this time, she still said stubbornly,

Who has told countless lies before and will believe this mere truth again?
She sneered and mourned in her heart.

"At that time, everyone in the backyard was busy with the banquet, and no one saw what was going on. I asked the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to make a decision."

At this time, Ye Ying stood up and explained the situation again. The Minister of Staff thought for a while and said:
"What else do you have to say?"

This was said to the little mouse, and everyone's eyes were on her.

And the little mouse just raised his eyes and looked at the people around him when he heard what the official minister said.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on her, and a familiar feeling of shame surged out of her heart. This familiar feeling made her feel extremely broken.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Her tears fell slowly, facing everyone's eyes without the slightest fear.

"Yes, I am a fake daughter, but I just want to live a better life, I want to start over!"

The last sentence was yelled at everyone. She stood up and looked at everyone's faces one by one.

"It's almost, just a little bit, I can start over again; the Ye family has not found the daughter for 13 years, why not replace me if I have the ability? Why do you have to come back at this time to expose me!"

The official minister looked at the little mouse in the hall, and in the end he just shook his head and said:
"hopeless."

The little mouse just nodded unexpectedly, looked at the Minister of Staff and said:

"I am indeed hopeless. Just because we were born in different stomachs, our lives are very different. I have exhausted all my strength but am still the same as I am now. But for some people, as soon as they are born, someone will take everything away from them." Put your hands before them."

She looked at the two people kneeling on the ground who had already lost their minds, pointed at them and asked Ye Ying and his wife:

"Even if I am fake, how can you confirm that she is your real child? Even if there is physical evidence and blood can be used to identify her, how can you confirm her character after 13 years of separation? You have not seen it with your own eyes. If she grows up, it doesn’t matter whether she has this child or not! If I can’t meet your expectations, can she do it?”

"Shut up, stop talking nonsense, you are at the end of your rope and you still don't know how to repent!"

Seeing the real Ye Ziqi speaking to him, the little mouse just lowered his eyes and looked at her lightly and said:
"You're just much luckier than me."

With a bang, the sound of the gavel slapped, and the case of the true and false daughter had already been revealed by this time, the high-ranking official minister said:
"My judge pronounced that in this case, Qiao'er is the biological daughter of the servant of the household department Ye's family. The people in the cave have proved that the little mouse is pretending to be the daughter of the household servant Ye's family. Repent, and be executed at [-]:[-] p.m. after three days of sentence!"

After saying that, he pulled out the token on the desk from the bamboo tube, and the death token was thrown out and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Immediately, several Jinyi guards came up and captured the little mouse. The case was taken over by the Zhenfu Division. According to regulations, this person would also be imprisoned in the Zhenfu Division and then sent to the execution ground for execution.

The case of the true and false daughter started at the feast of Ye's family at the beginning of this month, more than [-] days have passed, and the case has now been closed.

Mo Luo looked at the back of the little mouse being escorted away, presumably the news would soon spread throughout the capital city.

Now that the case has been concluded, everyone naturally has no need to stay here and leaves one by one.

When some officials left, they still did not forget to congratulate the servant of the household department, wishing her that she had found her real daughter.

It's just that Mo Luo thought that the wife and husband of the Ye family didn't look very good, and he remembered what the little mouse said before he was sentenced.

I'm afraid that even if it doesn't really affect the true leaf period, the seeds of doubt are the easiest to plant in people's hearts, like a time bomb that will be detonated at any time. Can't stop wondering--

——Even if I am fake, how can you confirm that he is your real child.

——If I can't meet your expectations, then she can.

These two sentences were played back repeatedly in Mara's heart, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Mara's mouth.

I don't know whether the child was instructed by others or thought up these two sentences by himself. Mo Luo just thought that she was really interesting. After reaching such a situation, she still had the courage to say such words. No wonder that strange country The teacher will take a fancy to this child.

It was only after a long period of time that I thought I had won and became a real leaf stage before I realized that the two words that this humble little mouse roared like a praying man's arms and a cart would mean nothing to her in the future. Just how lethal is a line.

At this time, the person who should be more worried about the future is just that little mouse.

Mo Luo followed the crowd back to Zhenfusi and watched her being locked up in the prison.

There was no longer any need for torture, her heart was as still as water, her face was ashes, without any struggle or doubt, she quickly signed the confession.

During this process, no one mentioned the national teacher. Mo Luo knew that the national teacher was the person behind the scenes. If the child could forge the birthmark and imprison others, he would have been able to rely on these to make a better life.

But she didn't say a word about the national teacher who made her an abandoned son. Maybe she didn't know who this person was at all, but Mo Luo could see that even if she knew who it was, she wouldn't say anything.

The little mouse who has lived in the dark since she was a child naturally knows that the person who can help her reach the sky can also make her unable to live or die.

"She's a smart kid."

Mo Luo said to Yu Ge.

Although he knew that she was a smart child, Moro still couldn't do anything to help her. He could only watch everything happen and end like an outsider.

Yuge glanced at Mo Luo, smiled, and joked:
"Why, are you soft-hearted? Want to help her?"

Mara lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said:
"If I could, I would give her a chance to change her ways."

"Oh? Why do you think she got a chance with you?"

Yuge turned around and looked at Mo Luo, with an undisguised look of curiosity on her face. She had already made up her mind about how to deal with this person, but she still wanted to hear Mo Luo's opinion.

It's not because of anything else, it's just because she fought against the national teacher and came back alive under her hands.

"The subordinate just thinks that the subordinate is just a mouse."

Mo Luo was not good at explaining with words, he just used the simplest sentence to describe his opinion of her.

I saw Yuge shook his head and smiled, and said helplessly:
"Wan Moluo, Wan Moluo, do you think it's unpleasant to work under me? Hahahaha"

Although Yuge teased Mo Luo like this, she let out a hearty laugh. She knew how Mo Luo worked under her, but Yuge gradually realized that the ability of the subordinate she liked was far more than limited. On the court.

What Wan Mo Luo wants is more freedom, and Yu Ge has long realized that one day when the time is right, she will leave.

They themselves are the same people who yearn for freedom, but she is restricted by the multiple identities of the Southern Kingdom, Her Majesty the Queen, the Duke of Jade and the Commander of the Imperial Guard.

"Since you said so, I have something for you to do."

Yu Ge motioned to Mo Luo to bring her head closer, whispered a few words in her ear and then left.

The sky gradually darkened, and it wasn't until the fiery red sunset was covered by the night that someone came wearing a dark cloak at night. The man at the door of the Zhenfu Division showed a token and successfully entered the inner hall.

"Which nobleman did I think he was? He came to see me again, and he turned out to be the husband of the Minister of Tobe."

That man was Ye Ying's husband. He took off the veil on his face but did not take off his cloak. He held a food box in his hand and saluted Yu Ge.

"Lord Commander, I want to meet that child. After all, I have had a father-daughter relationship for half a month."

Yuge was not surprised by his request, and could even be said to have waited here on purpose, nodded and said:
"Since it is your request, I naturally have no reason to refuse, come—"

Yu Ge shouted, and Mo Luo, who had been guarding the door, walked in:
"Bring this husband over to see the child."

Mo Luo said yes, and led him into the prison.

Because the little mouse is a prisoner on death row, even if someone comes to visit, someone needs to be guarded by the side. Mo Luo opened the door of the prison, and he walked in, only to see the little mouse lying on its side with its back to the door.

"child."

With her back to the door, she suddenly turned her head when she heard the familiar voice, but paused after seeing him, neither stepping forward nor stopping.

He just watched her take out the food in the food box one by one and put it on the low table before he greeted her and said:

"Come here and have something to eat, kid."

The little mouse hesitated for a moment, walked to the table and sat down, but didn't move her chopsticks, and stared at the person in front of her.

I saw him clearing his throat and saying:

"Good boy, I know that you are a good boy who is not bad in nature. I suffered a lot in the previous years, and I will find a way to help you intercede to avoid the punishment of beheading."

The little mouse saw the sincerity of what she said, and tears welled up in his eyes, but this didn't move her.

"No need, you said I'm not a bad person at heart, then let me tell you -"

"As long as I can remember, I have been living in garbage dumps, among the beggars who testified in court; they said that my father was the lowest prostitute and my mother was just a broker; my birth was a mistake and no one needed me. .”

She smiled, as if telling someone else's story:
"Those beggars picked me up from the garbage and swill, and named me the mouse, just to beg for one more person. I tried my best to survive and protect myself. In order not to lack arms or legs, I learned to steal, just because of that. Simply begging on your knees is not as much as a disabled child can get."

"I was born and grew up in the capital city, but I was born in the darkest and most shameful place."

"I have tried to escape and change countless times, but because of my origin, there is no room for change"

She stood up and looked down at the person she had called Daddy in all sincerity——

"Why, why? I really regard you as my biological father. Why do people always want to destroy everything? Do you know how much I envy Ye Ziqi!"

"She is the daughter of the Ye family, and I will always be a rat in the gutter."

"Even so, if it's wrong, it's wrong."

The little mouse nodded and sat down again:
"I am willing to gamble and admit defeat, and I am willing to die."

"Son, you."

"Don't say anything anymore, maybe you gave me warmth, but now I just feel more bitingly cold."

She interrupted him, not wanting to continue the conversation, and just said the last thing:
"It's just that I really didn't push you into the water."

After saying this, no matter what Mr. Ye Ying said, she stopped talking.

He waited until the visiting time was over before he reluctantly left. After leaving Ye Ying's husband, Mo Luo returned to the cell again.

She had been standing at the door just now, listening to the entire conversation between the two. Now when she returned to the cell, she only saw the little mouse staring blankly at a table of food.

"Why don't you eat?"

This time, Mara sat opposite her, took out a pair of silver chopsticks from his arms, took one chopstick of each, put it into the bowl in front of him, and started eating.

The little mouse looked at her silver chopsticks with glistening eyes. After confirming that they had entered Mara's mouth, he put the chopsticks on his dirty clothes, wiped them, and picked them up in a decent manner.

Mo Luo smiled faintly, and knew that the little mouse was very suspicious. She found a pair of silver chopsticks after sending Ye Ying's husband away.

"Aren't you afraid of death? Why are you still afraid that he might poison this dish?"

The little mouse paused and swallowed the food in its mouth before saying:
"If it is really poisoned to death, at least I don't want it to be delivered by my father."

After saying that, she took a lot more vegetables and stuffed them into her mouth until it was full, and she was chewing with tears falling down her cheeks.

"Since you're so wronged, why didn't you just explain a few more words to convince yourself? If the household minister's family pleads for mercy, they might really be able to spare you the death penalty of beheading."

Mo Luo waited patiently for the little mouse to chew and swallow all the food in its mouth, and then wiped the snot and tears with her sleeve, and then she said:

"If I succeed in pretending to be someone else to take over her life, then I will really become the daughter of the Ye family and steal the life that originally belonged to her."

"But now that I have failed, I have pain, I feel unfair, I have bad luck - I have all kinds of excuses, all kinds of reasons, but it cannot be denied that I am a bad person and what I did is bad. I have a clear conscience in my heart, so I Even if it’s bad, it must be clearly bad!”

She raised her eyes to look at Mo Luo, her eyes were full of firmness and determination, like a beast driven into a desperate situation, determined to fight to the death.

Although she didn't say anything, Mara could clearly understand that if he asked her: If she was given another chance, she would still do it.

"I don't explain, I'm not afraid of death! I'd rather die now than live like mud with no hope for the rest of my life!"
