From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 430 Birthmark
"Have you gone to investigate?" It is impossible to be indifferent to the tragic death of your own daughter, no matter how sad you are, you will definitely investigate.Therefore, Mei Xin asked with certainty.

Mrs. Wei nodded and replied truthfully: "Yes, after the incident, the eldest son of the minister's wife took people to Liangzhou and went to the place where the incident happened, but the body was destroyed by human beings. It is said that the little grandson’s head is missing, it was cut off with a knife and thrown to nowhere, and it has not been found to this day.”

If she hadn't overheard the conversation between her son and his daughter-in-law, she still wouldn't know that her little grandson died so badly.The decapitation was in a different place, and there was no whole body. This was done by someone who blocked the road and robbed him.

Mei Xin, who was used to seeing iron blood on the battlefield, was not too surprised by such things as beheading. On the contrary, she had seen too many on the battlefield, and on the contrary, she immediately thought of the ink corruption case.

She had heard about the ink corruption case in her previous life, and the Sun family was also a famous family, and she remembered that her father lamented about it in the previous life.

The cunning rabbit is dead, the dog is cooking, the bird is hiding, the experience of the Sun family should have aroused their vigilance, but thinking of them, they just lamented the impermanence of the world.The emperor's indifference has already been fully demonstrated in the treatment of the Sun family, but they turned a blind eye to it. It is not entirely the emperor's fault that the Mei family ended up being robbed. They should also deeply reflect on themselves.

Seeing that Mrs. Wei was heartbroken, Mei Xin handed her her silk handkerchief, re-poured a cup of hot tea to comfort her and said: "The deceased is the deceased, madam's condolences!"

Having lost a loved one in the previous life, she knew exactly what it was like. Mei Xin sighed deeply and continued: "Master Wei will definitely find out the truth if my daughter's family is killed. It’s not just a robbery but it’s related to the ink corruption case.”

The crying stopped abruptly. Mrs. Wei was stunned. She didn't expect Mei Xin to tell her husband what she had investigated for a long time. She asked in a daze as if she had been tapped: "You... how do you know?"

With a slight smile, Mei Xin took a soft pillow and put it on her back, then leaned on the back of the chair and said lightly: "The authorities are obsessed with it, but the onlookers are clear. Since the wife's daughter and son-in-law have nothing to do with the world, who would deliberately kill them? The corruption case shocked The government and the opposition, but in fact there was a lot of thunder and rain, and the case was hastily closed without even three joint trials. Besides, a large amount of gold and silver treasures were not found from the Sun family during the house raid, so where did the so-called greedy money go? I think Madam's son-in-law must know something, otherwise how could he get out of the dungeon alive."

Almost all the hundreds of members of the Sun family were killed, but their family was the only one who came out. Isn't it strange?Moreover, although she didn't know what was going on in the ink corruption case, and the whole case involved those ministers and people in the court, but based on her understanding of the emperor, Yu Shi Zhongcheng would never let him go even if he rebuked him to death. It is even more impossible for the males of the Sun family to let them go back to their hometown.Therefore, there are inside stories, inside stories, and ulterior secrets about this matter.

"What do you mean? You mean..." Mrs. Wei thought about it, but she couldn't believe it. She shook her head firmly and said, "No, it's impossible. We don't know how much money we spent to save him. How many people have begged. Impossible, absolutely impossible."

The son-in-law is just a scholar, he doesn't have much mind, if he really knows something, he will tell them as soon as he walks out of the dungeon, and he will tell them without hesitation.

Picking up the teacup and drank a couple of sips of water, Mei Xin moistened her throat and said, "Maybe it's impossible for Madam to go back and tell Mr. Wei what I said. As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half, but in the end it's only half, let alone him The secret he knows may be related to the Sun family, no matter how much he trusts you, he may not be willing to tell it. Of course, this is just my guess, as to whether it is true or not, it depends on Mr. Wei's ability. To be honest, Jing Xing went to Yiyingtang He is not alone, he has a mother, and his mother has been with him for the past six months, and they have been living in Yiyingtang. So..."

Speaking of this, Mei Xin suddenly stopped talking, looked at her calmly, and smiled slightly.

Mrs. Wei didn't believe it, because President Mei Jing was so much like her little daughter, it couldn't be her little grandson: "Where is she, can the eldest princess introduce you to my wife?"

No matter how urgent she is, she can't make mistakes, and she can't be disrespectful to Mei Xin.

Weiyu sighed first, Mei Xin pulled the soft pillow behind her waist, and after changing into a comfortable sitting position, she said sadly: "I would be happy to introduce you to Madam, but unfortunately, she passed away on the way to the capital not long ago. Yes. Madam must have heard about what happened in Nanfeng Pavilion. Jing Xing was greatly stimulated and frightened. Seeing a grown man, he can’t even hear his voice at night. So, I wanted his mother to accompany him at first, but who would have thought that she had not recovered from a long illness and passed away not long after leaving Liangzhou.”

Shocked and astonished, Mrs. Wei said in disbelief, "How...how...how could this be?"

Mei Xin didn't know how this happened, probably this was Mei Jingxing's fate.Shaking his head lightly, he blamed himself and said, "It was my negligence. I only thought that Jing Xing would get better soon with his mother by his side. I didn't consider that she was always sick. Mrs. Wei Considering that Jing Xing can no longer be stimulated by anything, I haven't told him about it yet, and I hope Madam can keep silent and not tell anyone, lest he know how sad he is."

The moment she saw Mei Jingxing, Mrs. Wei recognized that he was her little grandson, and she also knew that Mei Xin had good intentions, so she immediately said: "Princess, don't worry, I won't say a single word about my wife today. Not to mention telling Jing Xing. The Eldest Princess said that Jing Xing has a mother, how dare he ask what his mother looks like, and where does his mother come from? Does her natal family still have brothers and sisters alive?"

Both the husband and son suspected that the little grandson was not dead, and Mrs. Wei did not give up and did not believe it.

Mei Xin had asked about Mei Jingxing's situation when she was in Liangzhou, and knowing that there was no one in his mother's house, she said flatly, "I'm afraid I will disappoint Madam. Her natal husband's family is no longer alive. Madam can think Think about whether your little grandson has a birthmark or something else that can prove his identity."

It's better to have it, because if it's not there, it won't be able to prove Mei Jingxing's identity, and Mrs. Wei will definitely pester her endlessly.

Enlightened, Madam Wei blurted out with great energy: "Yes, under his right arm... there is a red birthmark near the armpit. When he was born, it was only the size of a grain of rice, but now it should be the size of a soybean."
