Jinghong Tower

Chapter 39: Cool Breeze and Bright Moon

Yan was ecstatic when he found out that he was pregnant, and He Wenqing was also very happy. He returned to his home humming a ditty, and met the doctor. The doctor congratulated him. Only then did he know that his wife Lao was also pregnant.

After becoming pregnant, Lao's temper was unstable, and He Wenqing often irritated her. The two often quarreled, and Mrs. He wrote letters from time to time to fan the flames, so Lao's potbelly left Beijing alone.

Although the two were diagnosed with pregnancy at about the same time, Yan's child was slightly older than Lao's. Just two days before Lao left Beijing, Yan gave birth to a daughter.

He Wenqing's thoughts were all about Yan and his daughter. The servant told him that Lao was dead. Instead of pursuing her, he was very happy. The annoying woman was finally gone and he could take time to take good care of Yuehua and Yuehua. Their love crystallized.

Later, he received news that Lao Shi had been born prematurely. The news was sent to the yamen, and in front of a group of colleagues, he had to ask for leave and leave the capital.

Yan didn't know what happened next. Not long after she gave birth to her child, He Wenqing's eldest follower, He Changfu, suddenly came back and wanted to take away her daughter.

Yan didn't know why, but He Changfu brought a handwritten letter from He Wenqing, so Yan had no choice but to hand over her daughter, who was just a few days old, to He Changfu.

A few days later, Yan received a letter from He Wenqing, saying that Lao was dead and their child had been sent back to the He family with a wet nurse and a maid, asking her to rest assured and have a good confinement period.

Soon after, He Wenqing returned to the capital, while his daughter stayed in Zhending. Yan was already out of confinement, so He Wenqing moved and lived quietly with Yan. A few months later, Yan's father and Uncle Yan came to find her. Upon arrival, He Wenqing formally proposed marriage to the Yan family and returned to Zhending to hold the wedding. He told the public that his daughter was too young and could not survive without a mother. For the sake of the child, he renewed the marriage in advance.

As for Lao, the He family's public statement was that she suffered from postpartum hemorrhage. The maid was frightened and ran away for fear of being blamed. When He Wenqing found her, Lao was dying and could not utter a word, so she died.

As for the child, He Wenqing personally admitted to the Yan family that the child was too thin and small to be fed. Besides, his own mother was killed just after he was born. If the child was left behind, he would be a star of the family. It would be unlucky to be born, so he simply let it go. She went with her mother so that they could keep her company on the road to hell.

The child was "accidentally" smothered to death by He Wenqing and thrown onto the frozen river. It was still snowing at the time, so the child must have been completely dead.

There is actually a difference in how many days Yan's child was born earlier than this child.

But who would doubt it?

The daughter He Wenqing brought back in person was recognized by her biological father, so what can others say?
Besides, because Mr. Luo died, the child's baptism, full moon, and [-]th day were not arranged, and outsiders could not see the child at all.

By the time the two uncles from the Lao family arrived at Zhending Mansion, half a year had passed since the incident, and six months had passed since He Shuyuan's incident, so the difference was even more indistinguishable.

Therefore, when Mrs. Wu Anhou determined that He Shuyuan was fake, Mr. He and Mr. Yan were panicked.

Of course, they can say that the child has been replaced by someone, and they can't find their biological flesh and blood in the vast crowd. The Wu'an Hou Mansion will not do anything to them. connection.

But Mr. He couldn't bear it, and neither could Mr. Yan.

Who would want to give up such a good family?

So they want to find the child, but the child is already dead. Where can they find it?

But if you still can't find it, you have to keep looking for it. You don't know when it will be found.

So they simply stopped looking and asked Mother Liu and Yan'er to go to Wanchun County by the Yellow River. They insisted that they finally found the eldest lady. On the way back, they met a thief and the eldest lady fell into the Yellow River.

The Yellow River is dangerous, and people must be dead.

But they never expected that the eldest lady would actually be found!
When Yan confessed, she had been tortured to the point of being scarred, but she still gritted her teeth and said that what she found was a fake!

He really died a long time ago. He died as soon as he was born. How could it be real?

This fake just happened to have a red mole on his foot. If this red mole had grown on He Shuyuan's foot, it would have nothing to do with her.

At this point, Mrs. Shangguan grabbed He Ran's hand: "Good boy, you are the blood of our Lao family. You are my granddaughter, aren't you?" He Ran nodded and said nothing.

Mrs. Shangguan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, yes, I just said yes, God is wise, my granddaughter is not dead, she has grown up, and she is back!"

"Yes, I'm back."

He Ran took her hand out of Mrs. Shangguan's hand. The next moment, she opened her arms and hugged Mrs. Shangguan into her arms.

Mrs. Shangguan shrank, trembled all over, and suddenly burst into tears!

The carriage walked aimlessly on the street for an unknown length of time before it finally stopped. He Ran lifted the curtains of the carriage. Wherever he looked, Lao Guanghuai was standing there.

The two women helped Mrs. Shangguan, who had calmed down, into another carriage. He Ran didn't get out of the carriage, but Lao Guanghuai came over. The curtains of the carriage were half raised. One old man and one young man were in the car and the other was outside.

"Thank you."

The voice is vicissitudes of life, but it is wise, but also reveals a touch of alienation.

He Ran understood that he knew she was not their granddaughter, but for the sake of his wife, he would not tell her.

He Ran smiled: "It should be."

She borrowed this identity, so she should do something for them, for the dead mother and daughter.

"I will stay in the capital from now on until I beg for bones. If you have anything, just come to me. What I can give to her, I will also give to you."

Perhaps only He Ran knew who the "she" in Lao Guanghuai's words was.

It was the little baby who was killed by his biological father in the snow and ice.

He Ran bent down and bowed to thank him.

Looking up again, the old man's thin back had disappeared into the dusk.

He Ran sat back on his seat and said to the handlebar: "Go to Old Moulin Street."

Old Moufang Street is where He Ran lives now. There are all kinds of food stalls here. He Ran went back after eating and drinking.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiaoba flew towards him: "Master, you are finally home. A place without you is not home."

He Ran patted its head and let it stand on his shoulder. Xiaoli came out of the house and handed a bamboo tube: "Master, it was sent by a pigeon."

Pigeon didn't know this place. The place in the capital that Pigeon could deliver was Jinghong Tower. Obviously, this was the news sent by He Ran after he left Jinghong Tower.

He Ran opened the small bamboo tube and unfolded the note inside: The old woman at the foot of Bailin Mountain was taken away by four guards and was on her way to Jinyang. Should she be released or not?

"Let it go." He Ran said calmly.

Xiaoli left in response. (End of chapter)
