Aunt Shi cried so much that she could hardly help herself, and she was able to force herself to continue, "At that time, I almost had to go with Niang Hui. But a seriously ill woman came to the inn, holding a A little girl who is only three months old, she asked me if I would like to adopt this child. She said that if I am willing, she will be my daughter in this life."

She raised her tearful eyes and looked at Niang Hui, "I was so heartbroken at the time that I didn't want to raise it, but that child smelled the milk on my body, so he poked his head and burrowed into my arms... That little appearance, just It's as if Hui Niang came back to life... After I fed her, she would smile sweetly at me, I... I thought at the time, is it because Hui Niang changed her shell and came back again?"

Nianfu supported her grandma, hugging her head and crying.

The wars in those years destroyed many families and dismantled many flesh and blood, but it was only because of the kind and honest ordinary people like Aunt Shi that they supported one family after another.

Aunt Shi has kept this matter in her heart for more than 30 years, and has never mentioned it to anyone.Even Father Shi has always firmly believed that Niang Hui is his own.

Now that he knew the truth, he didn't blame Aunt Shi for concealing it, but slapped himself hard, "It's me, I'm sorry... I didn't protect you, and I didn't protect my Lady Hui." It's all my fault for letting you suffer like this..."

"Grandpa, it's not your fault, it's not your fault." Ouyang Kang also stepped forward with tears in his eyes and pulled the old man back.

Mu Shaoqin's eyes were inconvenient, so he kowtowed again to the two old people, "Father, mother, although you are not Huiniang's biological parents, the grace of nurturing you is higher than the sky. You will always be Huiniang , is also my own father and mother..."

"Shut up!" Empress Dowager Mu was furious, pointing at her younger brother tremblingly, "I don't care how filial you are, how benevolent and righteous you are, but you only have one real father and mother, where are your parents?"

Will you die if you don't care about it?Nianfu became angry, and said without thinking, "Old and old and old. Young and young and young. Even a country girl like me who has never studied since I was a child knows the truth. Why doesn't the Queen Mother understand?"

"You!" Empress Dowager Mu was furious, but she wanted to refute but couldn't find anything to say.

How could she not understand this truth?From the bottom of her heart, she looked down on country people like the second elders of the Shi family, and felt that they were not worthy of the filial piety of her younger brother.In the past, it was hard to say anything about having the title of father-in-law and mother-in-law, but now that you know it's not your own, why should you be respected?

paused.She had no choice but to change the subject in embarrassment and annoyance, "Your Majesty, our Mu family has never had an official wife or daughter of unknown origin. The Ai family begs the emperor to take away the title of their family, remove the name of Concubine Ping, and use the foundation of righteousness."

"Eldest sister!" Mu Shaoqin was also angry, "It doesn't matter whether Niang Hui is born in the Shi family or not. But she is the wife I am marrying. Besides, she met me when I was poor and humble, and after I was rich and honored. She gave birth to me After raising children, even if you take her off, you won't be able to take her off!"

Empress Dowager Mu glanced at Nianfu contemptuously, "It's just a girl, and she didn't give birth to a son, how can she be considered as having a child? Shaoqin, don't be confused, getting involved with this kind of woman is not beneficial."

There was anger in Mu Shaoqin's voice, "Eldest sister may not know something. Mother Hui is already pregnant, and there is a high possibility of twins!"

Empress Dowager Mu really didn't know about it, so she froze for a moment.A daughter-in-law who is pregnant with her own blood will never be kicked out of the house no matter what.

The emperor took over the words at this time, "Madam Shi, I would like to ask you, what is the identity of the current Princess Ping, Madam Hui? Did the woman who entrusted her to you mention it?"

Empress Dowager Mu glanced at the emperor, and immediately said, "Speak! If you dare to lie, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor, and the whole family will be executed."

She originally wanted to threaten a few words, if she dared to lie, she would confront that seventh aunt.But Mrs. Shi didn't wait for her to finish, she reached out and took out a small bronze mirror from her bosom.

This little bronze mirror is all too familiar to the Shi family, including Nianfu.Hui Niang grew up according to it since she was a child, and then gave it a blessing.

Even though the Shi family is rich now, and the pattern on the handle of the small bronze mirror has been polished off, Mrs. Shi still keeps it well.No matter where you go, always take it with you.

Now, in this hall, in front of the king of a country, she knocked the little bronze mirror on the ground, but she was old and frail, and the mirror was not broken.

Taiping hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up and brought it to Gao Xian. Gao Xian took out a dagger from his sleeve, cut it lightly, and the mirror cracked, revealing a gold lock piece embedded in it.

Looking at the dragon and phoenix pattern on it, as well as the birth date, Gao Xian glanced at Madam Hui complicatedly, and fell silent.

Aunt Shi trembled slightly and then kowtowed heavily on the ground, "The old woman is just a commoner. She never understands big things, but she has never lied in her life. When that woman gave Hui Niang to me, she also gave me this golden lock piece. I gave it to me. She said, if the child needs it urgently, she will pawn it. But remember to hammer the words and patterns on the cleat, otherwise it will cause trouble. If it is not needed, give it to the child Keep it as a thought. If I don't want this child in the future, I will let her take this lock piece and go to the Meng family in Ninghua. But all these years, I have always treated Hui Niang as my own daughter. How can I be willing to not have her? I originally planned to wait for my death to bring this cleat into the coffin, or to tell Madam Hui. If I made any mistakes because of this, it is all my wife's fault. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty. Daughter, she really doesn't know anything."

"Your Majesty," Mu Shaoqin also spoke, looking in Gao Xian's direction with a resolute look on his face, "A woman obeys her father before she is married, and obeys her husband when she is married. Since Niang Hui married me, what is wrong with her is all my fault. "

"Shao Qin!" Empress Dowager Mu was anxious.

But Mu Shaoqin completely ignored her anxiety, and continued resolutely, "Our whole family, no matter what the emperor orders, we will never complain."

The family of six just knelt there quietly, neither begging for mercy nor begging for mercy.They just supported each other and leaned against each other, waiting for the emperor's decision.

"Your Majesty, Shaoqin..." Empress Dowager Mu finally couldn't help but speak, she can ignore others, but Mu Shaoqin is her only younger brother, and she is absolutely reluctant to let go.

The emperor waved his hand, indicating that she needn't say much, "I have already understood what Prince Ping wants, you have been exhausted for the past few days, go back to your residence and rest first."

Empress Dowager Mu just breathed a sigh of relief, but Mu Shaoqin kowtowed again, "I still have something to say."

"speak."

"Let me tell." Nianfu took the initiative to take the responsibility, "The emperor also knows that my broken garden once took in a group of orphans. One of them was named Luo Xiaoyan."

Gao Xian remembered, "Is that the child who can't speak?

He seems to have an emperor's tongue. Shouning likes him very much, but he disappeared on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Nianfu nodded, "Xiaoyan... Some people say that he is the orphan of my third sister from the previous dynasty."

What?Empress Dowager Mu really felt that her brain was starting to hurt. Isn't that niece already dead?How could she still have children left behind?

At that moment, Gao Xian's eyes became more complicated and difficult to understand, and there was a little difficulty in his voice, "He...is this true?"

Nianfu shook his head, "I don't know, I just heard that he once had a piece of jade with a yellow background and green chrysanthemum, and then lost it. But when we found him this time, he had this jade around his neck again. It’s just that Dad’s eyes are not good, so we don’t even recognize him.”

Gao Xian's eyes lit up suddenly, "Where is Yu? Where is the man?"

Ouyang Kang said, "I have already brought it back to the capital, just outside the palace gate."

"pass!"

This time, there was even a trace of inexplicable urgency in the majestic voice.But after such a slight gaffe, he quickly remembered more important issues,

"Was this child taken away?"

If it's just an ordinary child missing, that's fine, but if the child's status is special, it's worth considering.

Nian Fu paused for a moment, then spit out three words, "I don't know."

Just when Gao Xian was feeling disappointed, she said another sentence, "Once upon a time, Chai Rong from Ruyiju took such a piece of jade and threatened me to marry him."

Gao Xian's eyes darkened, and his expression became solemn again.

It wasn't that Nianfu didn't want to expose Chai Rong's background, but that Chai Rong's behavior of sending Luo Xiaoyan back was really weird.Didn't he think that he might reveal Luo Xiaoyan's matter?If so, he will be implicated, and what good will it do him?

Therefore, Nianfu will not say those unfounded words.

After discussing with the Mu family, they decided to leave the choice to the emperor. They only said what they should say. As for what to do, everything was left to the emperor.

■

That afternoon, Prince Ping's family left the palace.With a large number of rewards from the emperor, the honor is unlimited.

Everyone was sighing in their hearts, after all, it was the nephew who was getting close, the emperor was still very kind to his own uncle even under such a rage.Then if you can make friends with King Ping, can you also put an amulet on yourself?

Of course, such a noble status as King Ping is beyond the reach of ordinary people.But Princess Jiashan's son-in-law is in the broken garden, will it be easier to find him?

So, Nianfu and the others had just returned home, before their buttocks were hot, when they received a lot of inexplicable gifts and invitations.

But Ouyang Kang ignored all these good intentions. After meeting the old lady and Su Cheng, he took a quick rest. After dinner, when it was dark, he changed his clothes and went out quietly.

Zhenyuanhou Mansion.

Tomorrow, the New Year's Eve was approaching, and it was a time of bustle and bustle, but the door of his house was closed tightly, revealing a solemn and deserted look.

Everyone knew that something happened to Pei Xingyan, and everyone knew that the young master of Zhenyuanhou's mansion was Pei Xingyan's apprentice. At this moment, who else would want to be associated with his family?

If so, he's a fool.

But in this world, there are always such idiots. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
