I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 124 The Truth
As early as the moment Leng Yuanling ordered the child to be taken out, Liu Lian'er thought that the other party would threaten her with the child's life, but when these words actually fell into her ears, she still couldn't help trembling for two seconds. Next, he shook his head in fear and said: "Master, please do me a favor, don't hurt Xiaobao, he's just an ignorant child!"

Facing Liu Lian'er's crying pleading, Leng Yuanling was unmoved at all, just playing with the tourmaline bracelet in his hand, and said unhurriedly: "I have no grievances or enmity with Xiaobao, so naturally I don't want to hurt him , the one who wanted to hurt him... was you, if Xiaobao knew that you were willing to put his life at risk in order to keep a secret for an unimportant person, would you still have the face to face him on the road to hell in the future?"

For a mother, the biggest weakness is her own child, so... Liu Lian'er said what she wanted to say, and she had to say what she didn't want to. There was no other way to choose.

"But...a civilian woman..." With the life of her own son on the one hand, and the poisonous oath she swore before her dying mother's bedside, Liu Lian'er felt that her brain was torn apart by some sharp weapon, and the pain was piercing. If someone told her that as long as she hit her head to death, nothing would happen, then she would definitely do it without hesitation, but she knew very well that if she couldn't give Leng Yuanling a satisfactory answer, even if she died Yes, the other party will definitely not let her child go.

There is only one way before her.

Liu Lian'er's expression was painful and entangled, she just lay quietly on the ground like this, as if the whole person had lost consciousness, after a long time, until Leng Yuanling's patience was about to be exhausted, she struggled to She raised her head, gritted her teeth hard, and said word by word: "My lord, women can tell you everything they know, but there is one request."

"Request?" Leng Yuanling snorted lightly, hooked his lips and said, "Do you think you are qualified to make a request with me given your current situation?"

This time, Liu Lian'er was not threatened by Leng Yuanling, but fixedly looked at the other party's eyes, and said with a faint smile: "Since the young master has worked hard to find the woman, it means that this matter is very important to you , you don’t have to agree to the woman’s request, but at the same time, the woman will not say a word to you, if you want to kill our mother and child, just kill it.”

As a mother, naturally she would not have the heart to watch her child die, but Liu Lian'er understood that if she behaved too timidly, even if she temporarily saved the child's life, it would be difficult to keep Leng Yuanling off after she was useless. Black hands, therefore, must be persistent.

"You are good at bargaining." Although Liu Lian'er's unceremonious words annoyed Leng Yuanling, but at the same time, it also made him take a high look at the timid woman in front of him. After a little thought, he said lightly: "Tell me, as long as it's not too much, I can agree to you."

"Thank you, my lord." Liu Lian'er kowtowed her head, and said word by word: "My wife wants you to swear a poisonous oath on your glory and wealth in the face of Daluo God, no matter under any circumstances, Don't hurt Xiaobao at all, otherwise generations will go to tongue-pulling hell, and children will be prostitutes and slaves from generation to generation, and they will never be able to stand up."

What happened back then involved the privacy of the Hou Mansion. Once it was revealed, it is hard to say what situation Huaiyang Hou Shizi will face, but in order to preserve the face of the royal family, she, who knows the inside story, will inevitably be silenced. After revealing a few words of the truth, she was forced to swear that she would not reveal the truth, and then there was a reason for her to marry far away from the capital.

But she didn't expect it, when she thought everything was over, the disaster suddenly came without warning, which showed that she was destined to die, and there was no chance of escape.

Leng Yuanling knew what Liu Lianer had in mind for this move. Originally, he just wanted to threaten Liu Lianer with Xiaobao's life. The young boy who understood, therefore nodded immediately and said: "No problem, I can promise you."

The ancient people believed in gods. After Leng Yuanling made the poisonous oath as required, Liu Lian'er barely supported his painful body, struggled to sit up from the ground, and said with a sad look: "The grandmother of the folk woman is a midwife, and the grandmother Only the mother, a daughter, naturally passed on the mantle to her mother, and her mother's skills were even higher than that of her grandmother. After a few years, she became a famous midwife in the capital. Many female relatives of officials and aristocrats would also ask her mother to give birth. Going to deliver the baby, the mother also earned a lot of money." Speaking of this, a drop of clear tears slowly slipped from Liu Lian'er's eyes, and she took a deep breath before continuing: "Since ancient times, Gao There are always many secrets that are not known in the courtyard. My mother knows this very well, so she only does her own thing well, and dare not say a word or look at it, so she never got into trouble, but until that day... "

"Which day, is it the day Madam Hou gave birth?" Leng Yuanling asked impatiently.

Facing Leng Yuanling's eager gaze, Liu Lian'er nodded slowly, "20 years ago, Madam Hou of Huaiyang was frightened and gave birth prematurely, and her mother was sent to Huaiyang Hou's mansion to take care of her in a hurry. Ordinary people are much weaker and frightened, the situation is very bad, the government doctor and the mother tried their best to adjust the fetal position, and the lives of the wife and the baby were saved." Seeing the faint impatient look in Leng Yuanling's eyes , Liu Lian'er simply skipped some details and went straight to the main point, "Just when the mother was happily holding the baby to wash, Huaiyanghou suddenly broke into the delivery room from the outside and kicked everyone out. After almost staying in the delivery room for an incense stick of time, after he left, the mother entered the delivery room, only to find a pink and jade-carved baby boy lying in the swaddle next to the wife, and the mother clearly remembered that the baby boy Madam Hou gave birth to It's a... girl."

"What did you say!" Leng Yuanling exclaimed, and jumped out of the chair uncontrollably.

He guessed that Mrs. Hou brought a baby boy from outside in order to consolidate her position in the Huaiyang Marquis, but he never thought that this matter had something to do with Huaiyang Marquis!
If he hadn't been insane, how could he... How could he have exchanged his own child and let an outsider inherit the huge family business of Huaiyang Marquis Mansion!
This...don't say that Leng Yuanling doesn't believe it, any normal person will find it incredible!
Seeing Leng Yuanling's shocked and puzzled look, Liu Lianer not only did not feel any surprise, but nodded and said: "The woman knows that the young master finds it incredible, and the woman's mother also thought the same way back then, but the mother knows that such a big event is by no means As a little midwife, she should ask questions, and she might even be silenced because she knew the inside story, but fortunately, Huaiyang Hou didn't do this, but just beat her openly and secretly, and let her leave the house."

"Then your mother didn't mention it to anyone?" Leng Yuanling asked, frowning.

"Mother is a sensible person, so she definitely won't talk too much. I think the Marquis also saw clearly what mother is like, so he spared her life." Liu Lian'er looked at the distant place through the light on the window. Tianji said indifferently: "From then on, my mother used the excuse of illness to push away all the jobs in the next few noble mansions, and did not return to her old business until half a year later, but since then, she has only given Xiaomen The woman from the small household delivered the baby, and never set foot in Gaomenhou's mansion again."

"Your mother is very knowledgeable about current affairs." Leng Yuanling nodded appreciatively and said, "It's just that this matter is so strange, has no one ever asked her for it?"

"No." Liu Lian'er shook her head and explained: "That day, the child was born by the mother's hands, and the mother carried the child to wash it afterwards, so, except for the mother and Mrs. Hou, no one knew about it. thing."

"Since Lingtang is so cautious, why did he tell you such an important event?" Leng Yuanling asked his own question again.

"My mother didn't mean to tell me, but she accidentally let it go." This time, without waiting for Leng Yuanling to ask, Liu Lian'er took the initiative to explain: "The son of Huaiyang Marquis Wentao Wulue, enjoys the privileges in the capital. Shengyu is also the dream lover of countless boudoir girls, and I am no exception. Once, the son of heaven led his entourage to drink tea in Shunxingzhai. The Shi Ziye is actually somewhat similar to Huaiyanghou, so he can be regarded as a predestined relationship."

"Then you feel strange, so you ask?"

"Everyone has curiosity. At that time, the woman was just an ignorant girl, and her curiosity was much stronger than others. I asked my mother, isn't it natural for a son to be like his father? Unexpectedly, the mother shook her head. , I don’t want to say more, but I am not reconciled, I found an opportunity to get my mother drunk, and then got this shocking secret out of her mouth.” Liu Lian’er’s tone was filled with traces of obvious regret, as the saying goes, knowing more than sin, If he didn't have such a strong curiosity back then, he might not have fallen to where he is today.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in life, only consequences and... results.

"Then have you mentioned it to others?" Leng Yuanling thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice.

If this matter was only manipulated by Mrs. Hou alone, it would be easy to handle, just take Liu Lian'er to Huaiyang Hou to expose it, but as far as Liu Lian'er said, Huaiyang Hou was also involved, and it was very easy It is possible to know the inside story, and that matter is quite tricky.

Why on earth would he do this?
Is it just to have a legitimate son to maintain this political marriage?Or think that Leng Yuanxun is extremely intelligent and can carry forward the Huaiyang Marquis Mansion?
