After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 303 What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true

What is Qin Moyuan doing here at this time?
They had been married for nearly twenty years, and he had only set foot in her room a handful of times.

While I was stunned, Duke Qin walked in.

"Duke... why are you here?" Madam Qin suppressed her panic and stood up and asked.

Duke Qin glanced at the mess on the ground and said calmly, "You seem to be very guilty."

Madam Qin clenched her fingers tightly under her sleeves. Hatred flashed through her heart, but she said on the surface: "I don't understand what the Duke means."

Qin Guo glanced at her mockingly and said straight to the point: "When I married you, my father-in-law and mother-in-law said that you once had a concubine sister. Why can't I find anything when I sent people to investigate this time? Is there something shameful that your Qin family concealed about that concubine daughter?"

Mrs. Qin was shocked when she heard this.

When her mother gave birth to her and her sisters, there were midwives and servants present. They knew that her mother was giving birth to twin girls. Although her mother quickly dealt with the midwives and servants, the fact that she gave birth to twin girls was still leaked out to some extent.

Mother sent that stupid sister away, but was afraid that others would talk about her, so she put on a show with father. Mother accused father of having a mistress and having a daughter with her.

People always like to talk about other people's private affairs, especially the topic of keeping mistresses, which can become a topic of conversation among people after dinner.

So soon, everyone's attention was focused on the fact that her father had a concubine and a daughter.

In addition, my parents denied having twin daughters, and gradually, no one remembered this incident. Instead, they remembered that they had a concubine in the Yu family.

My mother didn't want anyone to know the existence of her stupid sister, so she spread the word that she had brought her concubine into the family and raised her under her name.

When Qin Moyuan came to the Yu family to propose marriage, his parents felt guilty and were afraid that Qin Moyuan would notice something, so they took the initiative to tell him that they had a "half-sister", but she was weak and died a few years ago.

Qin Moyuan was certain at that time that she was the "girl" in the cave and did not doubt anything.

Now, he suddenly brought up the old matter again, but what had he noticed?
Moreover, he just said that he sent people to investigate the Yu family.

Madam Qin's heart sank, and she forced herself to remain calm and said, "It's been so long since the incident happened, I'm afraid the servants have forgotten about it. Duke... why do you want to investigate this matter?"

Qin Moyuan did not answer her question directly, but said: "It's not that the servants forgot, but the servants who knew the truth have been punished, right?"

Madam Qin's expression changed. "Why did the Duke say that? Why did our Yu family do that?"

"Of course your Yu family has a shameful secret." Duke Qin glanced at her suddenly changed expression and said coldly.

Madam Qin was furious and resentful when she heard this, and turned her back, "The Duke doesn't like me, so naturally he has prejudices against my family, but it is really chilling that the Duke said this about my Yu family.

If I had known that the Duke disliked me, I should not have married into the Qin family. But the Duke should know that if I had not been the Duke, I would not have had to compromise like this. "

Hearing her mention what happened back then, Duke Qin was silent for a moment, then said in a cold voice: "You always bring up what happened back then, but it's not certain whether the person in the cave back then was you."

Madam Qin was horrified, but luckily she turned around and Duke Qin could not see the expression on her face.

But what Duke Qin said stirred up a storm in her heart.

He really knew something.

She was shocked and frightened. She suddenly picked up the vase on the table, turned around and threw it at Duke Qin, and screamed hysterically, "Qin Moyuan, you are so heartless. Aren't you hurting my heart by saying such things?
You did such a beastly thing, and now you suspect me.

you are not human!"

Duke Qin's eyes flashed, and he quickly caught the vase. His deep, cold eyes stared at the crazy woman in front of him.

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly. What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true." After saying that, he put down the vase and walked away.

As soon as he left, Mrs. Qin held onto a chair and sat down. She touched her forehead and found it was covered in cold sweat.

She comforted herself that it had been so many years since the incident, and Qin Moyuan would never be able to find out. …

Yu family.

As soon as Nanny Zheng came out of Old Madam Yu's room, a servant handed her a letter.

"Where did it come from?" Nanny Zheng was puzzled.

"The doorman brought it in, saying that a young man just came and asked for it specifically for you," the servant replied.

Nanny Zheng murmured, she couldn't read, who would deliver the letter to her?

Moreover, she was a home-born child and had no relatives or friends outside.

She took the letter and returned to her home suspiciously.

Her husband happened to be there and could read, so she gave him the letter.

"I don't know who wrote the letter to me. Take a look."

The husband she married was named Zhu Dashun, also a servant of the Yu family. He worked for Master Yu and now that he had some free time, he came back for a drink.

Hearing what his wife said, he reached out to take it.

However, as soon as the envelope was opened, something fell out.

He looked down and was so frightened that he fell to the ground with his chair.

When Nanny Zheng saw this, she was about to scold him, but when she saw clearly what had fallen to the ground, she was so frightened that she almost fell to her knees.

"Oh my god, whose finger is this? Who dares to scare us like this?"

Zhu Dashun was a man after all. He recovered now and quickly grabbed the letter on the table and read it. Then his face changed drastically. "Old woman, our Xiaoshun lost money in the gambling house and was caught by the people in the gambling house. They want us to bring money to redeem him."

Hearing this, Madam Zheng no longer cared about being afraid, "What did you say? Our Xiao Shun was arrested?"

Zhu Dashun gnashed his teeth in hatred, "It's all because of you. Now, I owe money to the gambling house and even my fingers have been chopped off."

When Nanny Zheng heard this, her pupils shrank. She thought of the finger just now and hurriedly picked it up.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered there was a mole on the inside of that finger.

Her son also has a mole in the same position.

She immediately confirmed that the finger belonged to her son, and she burst into tears out of heartache.

But after howling for only a few words, Zhu Dashun stopped him, "Stop howling. The letter says that we must not alarm anyone, otherwise he will chop our Xiaoshun into pieces and feed him to the dogs."

Madam Zheng choked hard, but she didn't dare to make any more sounds. Instead, she asked in a panic, "What should we do now?"

"Take the silver and go to the dilapidated temple five miles east of the west gate. Those people are waiting for us there." Although Zhu Dashun hated his son's character, he only had this one son, so he naturally couldn't watch him get into trouble.

"How much silver do they want?"

"One thousand taels!"

"One thousand taels?" Nanny Zheng almost fainted, her face full of tears, "Where can we get so much silver?" Even if we borrowed, we couldn't borrow that much.

Zhu Dashun almost bit his teeth, "We'll take as many as we can. We need to stabilize the people first."

The couple rummaged through the boxes and drawers, gathered together some silver, and hurried out.
