The pet career of Shaoqing of Dali Temple

Chapter 221 The Birth Mother's Maid

When the night wind came, Ru Xiaonan shrank her neck.

Qing Moyan tightened the thick cloak to cover her head.

Qing Moyan took Xuanyu and others out of the city overnight.

The night wind was blowing, Ru Xiaonan didn't even dare to stick her head out, and could only let Qing Moyan ride the horse galloping.

After running for about half an hour, Ru Xiaonan's legs were almost frozen, when Qing Moyan's horse slowed down.

"My lord, the grave-sweepers have entered the small village ahead." Someone reported from the front.

Qing Moyan led everyone closer to the village, and everyone got off their horses outside the village.

Qing Moyan only left Xuanyu and the two dead men to lead the way, while the others waited outside the village.

Someone had scouted the way early and brought Qing Moyan and others to the door of a house in the village.

Ru Xiaonan tugged at Qing Moyan's sleeves and never left her.

From the outside, the house looks dilapidated, not like a wealthy family.

Xuanyu stepped forward and knocked on the door.

In the middle of the night, there was silence around, and the knock on the door was particularly harsh.

Not long after, someone answered from the door, and a man in his twenties came out, wearing coarse clothes, with a yellow and thin face.

"You are..." He was startled when he saw a few gorgeously dressed people standing outside the door.

Xuanyu didn't allow any further explanation, pushed the man away and went straight into the door.

The two dead men quickly checked the house.

The man was anxious, "You can't rush in, there are sick people in the room, so there's no wind..."

As soon as the words were finished, a dead man pushed open the door of the inner room, looked inside expressionlessly, then quickly closed the door, and nodded towards Xuanyu.

In other words, this man did not lie, there was indeed a patient in the inner room.

Qing Moyan walked in with Ru Xiaonan, looking at the furnishings in the house.

"You...what do you want to do?" The man asked anxiously.

"Who are you? Why did you go to the mountain to sweep the tomb in the middle of the night?" Qing Moyan asked straight to the point.

The man was stunned, "You... how do you know..."

"Do you know Mrs. Lu from Qinghou's Mansion?" Qing Moyan looked at the other party, seeing that the other party was about the same age as him, it was impossible for him to know his biological mother.

"You...you know Mrs. Lu?" The man asked in surprise, suddenly he seemed to remember something, "You...you are Qing Moyan, the eldest son of the Qinghou Mansion?"

"Exactly."

The man's face suddenly showed joy, and he shook his head in disbelief, "I didn't expect that it was really you, you really came."

"You know me?" Qing Moyan felt that the other party's reaction was a little strange.

"Yes, please come in, my aunt has been waiting for this day..." The man hurriedly ran to the inner room.

Xuanyu wanted to bring someone into the inner room, but was stopped by Qing Moyan, he just took Ru Xiaonan and followed the man in.

The furnishings in the room are very simple. There is a person lying on a crude plank bed, dark and frighteningly cold.

"Auntie, Qing Shizi is here." The man called softly.

Only then did Qing Moyan and Ru Xiaonan see clearly that the person lying on the bed was a woman, the skin all over her body had been festered due to burns, and there were pieces of medical cloth stuck to it.

Hearing the sound, the woman rolled her eyes and turned her head.

"He is Mrs. Lu's son, Qing Moyan!" The man said happily, "Auntie, don't you miss him every day? He really came."

The woman opened her mouth with difficulty, ah ah twice.

The man immediately fetched water from the table and fed her a couple of mouthfuls before she spoke.

"My lord, I have finally waited for you. All these years of suffering... have not been in vain. These years, if it weren't for the young lady's entrustment... I don't want to suffer anymore..."

Qing Moyan came to the bedside, "Who are you, do you know my mother?"

A few turbid tears flowed from the woman's eyes, "My family was in trouble, and a lawsuit would be filed. If it weren't for Ms. Lu... our whole family would lose their heads. I am grateful to her, so I became her maid..."

Qing Moyan only felt that her heart was beating so hard that she was actually the maid beside her mother?
After searching for so many years, he couldn't find even one of the servants who served his mother, but he didn't expect to meet the maid who served his mother here.

"Do you know how my mother died?" Qing Moyan paused every word.

In fact, in his heart, he still had a thought, because the tomb was empty, so he hoped that his mother was still alive.

The woman shook her head and said with difficulty: "Not long after I came to Miss Lu's side, she was forced into Qinghou's mansion and married... But I know that Miss must not want to... because I have never seen her smile. But... Later she was pregnant with you... Hou Ye objected to her getting worse and locked her in the back house..."

Qing Moyan clenched her fists, the corners of her eyes were slightly red.

Ru Xiaonan held his hand tightly and shook it.

Qing Moyan lowered her head with red eyes, facing a pair of green cat's eyes, her concern was palpable.

The corners of Qing Moyan's mouth twitched, and she wanted to say something, but her mouth moved for a long time, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Even though he had already guessed that the relationship between his father and mother was not harmonious, he did not expect that the truth was more cruel than he imagined.

"Once...Miss wanted to escape...was captured by the Marquis, he drove all of us servants out...stayed in the house for one night...Miss cried all night, and waited for us to go in the next morning When I saw her covered in blood... she was about to have a miscarriage..."

The woman gasped for a long time and continued: "Later, a doctor was invited to save the child with great difficulty, but all the servants in the yard were punished by Lord Hou, beaten and killed... Only I was alone, one night...the wing suddenly caught fire, I couldn't escape and was burned like this, Master Hou regarded me as dead, and was put into a coffin and carried out of the city to be buried."

"I thought I was going to die, but when I woke up, I found that I had already returned home... Then I realized that the young lady had expected it, and secretly spent money to hire someone to help, but it was still a step late. I burned like this..."

Qing Moyan listened quietly, the violent emotion churning in his chest was like a knife that wanted to cut him in half, he couldn't figure out what his mother did to make his father humiliate her like this.

The woman gasped for a while, and continued to speak, "At that time, the young lady secretly entrusted me with something, asking me to burn incense for her at this time of year... But the young lady was still alive and well, and I didn't take it seriously. She also told me the location of the tomb in detail, I just took it as her angry words, but who knew...it was actually true."

At this time, the young man next to the woman said, "At that time, after I found out the news of Mrs. Lu's death, I secretly searched for it according to the location my aunt said. I didn't expect to find it, so every year on this night, I will go to the place for my aunt. fragrant."

Qing Moyan's brows became tighter and tighter. Could it be that his mother knew that he would find her grave one day, so she left him a clue on purpose?
But soon he dispelled this guess. How could it be possible? You must know that it happened more than 20 years ago. Who can guess what happened behind.

Just when he was in a state of turmoil, he suddenly heard the woman on the bed say: "Sometimes I feel that the young lady's eyes can see through people's hearts, she should have known that she would die a long time ago, and you will find..."
