Aunt Shi cried so hard that she could hardly be able to speak by herself. She could only rely on Nianfu to support her, "At that time, I almost had to go with Hui Niang. But a seriously ill woman came to the inn, holding her.

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 wanted to, she would be my daughter in this life."

She raised her tears and looked at Hui Niang, "I was so sad that I didn't want to raise it, but the child smelled the milk on my body, arched his little head and drilled into my arms... That little look,

It was like Hui Niang came back to life again... I fed her and she would smile sweetly at me. I... I thought at that time, was Hui Niang changing her shell and coming back again?"

Nianfu supported his grandma and hugged his head and cried bitterly.

During the war back then, I don’t know how many families were destroyed and how many flesh and blood were broken up, but it was all up to the kind and simple ordinary people like Aunt Shi who supported one family after another.

Aunt Shi has been relieved of this matter for more than 30 years and has never mentioned it to anyone. Even Mr. Shi has always been unwaveringly convinced that Hui Niang is his biological child.

Now that he knew the truth, he did not blame Aunt Shi for hiding it, but slapped himself twice, "It's me, it's me that I'm sorry for you... I didn't protect you, let alone my Hui Niang

.It is all my fault to make you suffer such sins..."

"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 away.

Mu Shaoqin's eyes were inconvenient, so he kowtowed to the two old men again, "Dad, mom, although you are not Hui Niang's biological parents, this kind of raising me is higher than that of heaven. You will always be Hui Niang.

, it's also my own father and mother..."

"Stop!" Empress Dowager Mu was angry and pointed at her younger brother tremblingly, "I don't care about how filial you want, how kindness you are, but you only have one biological father and mother, where are you from?"

Will you die if you don't care about it? Nianfu was angry and said without thinking, "Respect the elderly and the elderly of others. I am a young man and I am a young man. Even the country girl who has not studied hard.

Why doesn’t the Queen Mother understand the truth that she knows?”

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

She didn't understand this truth? She looked down on rural people like the two elders of the Shi family from the bottom of her heart, and felt that they were not worthy of their younger brother's filial piety. In the past, she was not easy to say if she had the title of a father-in-law and mother-in-law, but now she knows it.

Why are your biological sons worthy of respect?

After a pause, she had to change the topic with shame and annoyance, "Emperor, our Mu family has never had a wife or daughter of unknown origin. The Ai family begged the emperor to seize the title of their family, and to remove the name of Princess Ping, and to use the title of "Ping"

The foundation of ethics.”

"Sister!" Mu Shaoqin was also angry, "No matter whether Hui Niang is the Shi family's biological son or not, she is the wife of my official matchmaker. Besides, she met me when I was poor and humble, and recognized me after I was rich and honored. She gave birth to me for my birthday.

If you have children, you can’t even get off!”

Empress Dowager Mu glanced at Nianfu contemptuously, "I'm just a girl and didn't give birth to a son. How can I be considered raising children? Shaoqin, don't be confused. It's not good to get involved with such a woman."

Mu Shaoqin's voice contained anger, "The elder sister may not know anything. Hui Niang is pregnant, and she is very likely to have twins!"

Empress Dowager Mu really didn't know about this and was frozen there for a while. The wife, who possessed her own blood, was never kicked out of the house no matter what.

The emperor took the conversation at this time, "Auntie Shi, I ask you, Hui Niang, what is the identity of Princess Ping now? Has the woman who entrusted her to you mentioned it?"

Empress Dowager Mu looked at the emperor and immediately said, "Tell me! If you dare to make a lie, you will be the crime of deceiving the emperor and will be executed by the whole family."

She originally wanted to threaten a few words, but if she dared to lie, she would go to confront Aunt Qi. But before she could finish her words, Aunt Shi reached out to take out a small bronze mirror from her arms.

This little bronze mirror is so familiar to the Shi family, including Nianfu. Hui Niang grew up following it since she was a child, and later gave Nianfu.

Even though the Shi family is now rich and the patterns on the handle of the small bronze mirror have been polished, Aunt Shi still keeps it in good condition. No matter where she goes, she always carries it.

Now, she was in this hall, in front of the king of a country, knocking the small bronze mirror to the ground, but she was old and weak, and the mirror was not broken.

Chengping hurriedly went forward and picked it up and sent it to Gao Xian. Gao Xian took out a dagger from his sleeve and gently cut it off. 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 Qian glanced at Hui Niang with complexity and became silent.

Aunt Shi trembled and kowtowed heavily, "The old woman is just a commoner. She never understands any major events, but she never lie in her life. When the woman handed over Hui Niang to me, she also gave this gold lock piece

Give it to me. She said that if the child has an urgent need, he will use it as a product. But remember to hammer the characters and patterns on the lock piece, otherwise it will cause trouble. If it is not used, give it to the child

Keep it, it's also considered

A thought. If I don’t want this child in the future, I will ask her to take this lock to find a Meng family in Ninghua. But over the years, I have been treating Hui Niang as my biological daughter, so how can I bear to refuse her?

I originally planned to wait for me to die, or take it into the coffin, or tell Hui Niang. If any mistakes are made, it is all my old woman's fault. Please don't blame my daughter, what is she really like?

Don't know."

"Emperor," Mu Shaoqin also spoke, looking at Gao Xian's direction, with a firm expression, "A woman follows her father before marriage, and a husband after marriage. Since Hui Niang married me, what is her fault? It's all my fault.

”

"Shaoqin!" Empress Dowager Mu was anxious.

But Mu Shaoqin ignored her anxiety and continued to say resolutely, "Our whole family will not complain if the emperor makes a mistake."

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

"Emperor, Shaoqin..." Empress Dowager Mu couldn't help but speak. She could ignore anyone else, but Mu Shaoqin was her only younger brother and would definitely not be willing to let go.

The emperor waved his hand and told her not to say much, "I have understood the intentions of King Ping. You have been tired all these days. Let's go back to the house to rest first."

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

"speak."

"Let me say." Nian Fu took the initiative to take responsibility. "The emperor also knows that my broken garden once had a group of orphans. One of them was named Luo Xiaoyan."

Gao Xian remembered, “Is it the child who can’t speak?

He seemed to have an emperor's tongue. Shouning liked him very much, but he disappeared on the Dragon Boat Festival.

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

What? Queen Mother Mu really felt that her brain was starting to hurt. Didn’t that niece already die? How could she have children left?

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

Nian Fu shook his head, "I don't know, I only heard that he once had a piece of jade with a yellow base and green chrysanthemum, which was lost later. But when we found him this time, this piece of jade was hanging around his neck.

But we don’t recognize Dad’s eyes either.”

Gao Xian's eyes suddenly lit up, "Where is the jade? Where is the human?"

Ouyang Kang said, "I have taken it back to the capital, right outside the palace gate."

"pass!"

This time, there was even a hint of inexplicable urgency in the majestic voice. However, after just a little loss of composure, he quickly remembered more important questions.

"Is this kid taken away?"

If it is just an ordinary child who is missing, it doesn't matter, but if the child has a special identity, it is worth thinking about.

I paused and said three words, "I don't know."

Just when Gao Xian felt 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 sank, and his expression became solemn again.

It’s not that Nianfu doesn’t want to reveal Chai Rong’s background, but Chai Rong’s behavior of sending Luo Xiaoyan back is really weird. Didn’t he think that he could shake off Luo Xiaoyan’s story? If that happens, he will definitely

What are the benefits of implicating him?

Therefore, I will not say unfounded words.

After discussing, the Mu family decided to hand over the choice to the emperor. They only said what they should say. As for what they should do, everything was handed over to the emperor.

※

In the afternoon of that day, the King of Ping's family left the palace. With a large number of rewards from the emperor, they were full of honors and favors.

Everyone sighed in their hearts that it was because of the nephew and uncle who was close to each other. Even if the emperor was so angry, he was still very good to his uncle. Then if he could have a good friend with King Ping, could he also put a talisman on himself?

Of course, a noble identity as Prince Ping is not up to 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 and had not yet sat in their butts, they received a lot of inexplicable gifts and invitations.

But Ouyang Kang ignored all the kindness that came to the door. After meeting the old lady and Su Cheng, he hurriedly rested. After dinner, it became dark, he changed his clothes and went out quietly.

Zhenyuan Hou Mansion.

Even though the year is approaching, it is the bustling time, but the door of his house is closed, revealing a sense of solemnity and desertedness.

Everyone knows that something happened to Pei Xingyan, and everyone knows that the young master of Zhenyuan Hou Mansion is Pei Xingyan's apprentice. At this time, who else would want to be involved with his family?

If there is any, it would be a fool.
