The people in the room were stunned, Gu reacted quickly, and hurriedly went out to support Old Madam Qi: "Mother, why are you here." ”

Old Madam Qi walked into the house and looked at the people kneeling on the ground, as well as the granddaughter who was shackled by her mother-in-law: "Don't let go quickly." ”

As soon as the mother-in-law's hand was loosened, Qi Xiangsi knelt directly on the ground, the sound of her knee hitting the bluestone slab was not light, and the muffled sound of "snorting" sounded in the room, and Mrs. Qi felt pain just listening to it, but Qi Xiangsi was stunned that not a single tear fell, and she knelt there with a stubborn expression and didn't get up.

"Mother, this child is pretending, not Ying'er." Qi Herui helped her to sit down in front, who would be comfortable with this matter, it was not his own daughter who came to confess his relatives, whether it was for wealth or something, in short, he was an unforgivable liar.

"Who said she was impersonating." Old Madam Qi squinted at the three kneeling people, "Just them?" ”

"That's Aunt Wei's brother, these two are serving in the Huizhou house, they don't know her, and the child doesn't know them." Originally, the matter of recognizing relatives was mixed with uncertain factors, the pendant could be picked up by others, things could be heard, and people could also be impersonated.

"The first time you saw this kid, did you recognize it?"

Qi Herui was speechless.

Old Mrs. Qi looked at Aunt Lu again: "Aunt Lu can recognize it?" ”

"Old lady, I don't recognize her because she's not a warbler at all." Aunt Lu was surprised by the appearance of the old lady, this incident alarmed the old lady is not easy to deal with, so she has to wait until the pretending person admits it before appearing, and now at this juncture, "Six years is not short, it is not long, these are all people who have been on errands in Huizhou for many years, they have seen Ying'er more times than the old man, they can't recognize her, and this Aunt Wei's brother." ”

"Come, child, tell Grandmother." Different from them, Old Madam Qi had a very good attitude towards Qi Xiangsi, "Why don't you know them." ”

Qi Xiangsi raised her head, her voice was not heavy but the words were clear: "I don't remember them, we were kicked out of the house not long after my father left Huizhou, my aunt wanted to take me to the Wei family to defect, but I was kicked out by my uncle and aunt, they refused to take us in, I only saw my uncle once, so I don't remember what he looked like." ”

Hearing that he was kicked out of the house, several people kneeling there were a little weak-hearted, just such a paragraph, it can't be said to be true or false, but it seems untenable to recognize this point alone, six years have passed, the child will grow up, and the appearance of the child is the most easy to change, even Qi Herui himself can't recognize it, let alone others.

"Old lady, this person is very cunning, fortunately I found it clear, six years ago, Aunt Wei passed away not long after Ying'er disappeared, so many years have not appeared in Huizhou, she said that she came from Huizhou to look for relatives, lived in Huizhou for twelve years, this is not credible." Aunt Lu hurriedly threw out another piece of evidence, "I heard that many children were taken captive to the bandits' dens in the mountains at that time, and when the government broke through, there was no longer any way to live, and the children who were taken captive were either dead or sold." ”

Qi Xiangsi's originally calm expression moved, and she raised her eyes to look at Aunt Lu, Ying'er's disappearance is easy to investigate, how did she find out about Ying'er being kidnapped by bandits, even if the government broke the matter, it can't prove that Ying'er's disappearance has something to do with it, Aunt Lu didn't see anyone and didn't see the bones, where did she come from.

When she was taken away in Yongzhou, if she died outside, no one would know, Ying'er was alone when she was taken away, there was no half of the close people around her, she lived a life on the street, and no one would recognize her death on the street, who would notice the disappearance of such a person.

Unless Aunt Lu already knew about Ying'er's disappearance, or the disappearance was related to her.

All speculations only need further argumentation to have results, Qi Xiangsi looked at Aunt Lu who wanted to prove that she was pretending to be Aunt Lu, and what Ying'er said at the beginning gradually became clear in her mind.

Ying'er was almost penniless after burying Aunt Wei, and she couldn't support the work of washing clothes for others when she was young, so she finally sold everything and couldn't support the rent, and was kicked out by the landlord. After wandering in Huizhou for more than a year, someone came to inquire about her, and she had an accident a few days later.

"Girl, is what she said true?" Old Madam Ye squinted at Qi Xiangxi, "You haven't been in Huizhou in the past few years. ”

Qi Xiangsi's hand squeezing his clothes tightened, and his voice was slightly low, as if he was pressing something: "Grandmother, Aunt Lu is right, I have indeed not been in Huizhou in the past few years, one morning four years ago, I was knocked unconscious in the alley, and after waking up, I was already in the carriage, and I was taken to a village with many children. ”

Aunt Lu showed a hint of victory on her face, wasn't that what she said.

"What are they going to do with you?"

"They picked on beggars and single children, caught them and sold them, and if any child disobeyed, they would kill him and cook him in front of us." Qi Xiangsi said lightly, only the crystal in the corner of her eyes revealed that this was a qiē of her own experience, and they didn't dare to sleep when they were frightened and frightened, and they tried their best to escape from that place in order to survive.

Old Madam Qi was a little dizzy when she heard this, and even Qi Herui's expression was a little surprised, Aunt Lu only said that she was abducted and trafficked, but she didn't say that she could eat people, and the picture of the living blood was conveyed to them with Qi Xiangsi's words, Gu Shi covered her mouth lightly, and her expression was full of unbearable.

"We had a few full meals in the days before we were sold, and some of the children organized an escape, and I escaped with them, and many of them were arrested, and I was lucky enough to hide in a cave for a few days before I dared to go down the mountain." Qi Xiangsi paused when he said this, "I didn't dare to go back to Huizhou, so I went to Yongzhou later." ”

It is an incredible thing to escape alive after being taken captive to the mountain, and Aunt Lu said that Ying'er's whereabouts are unknown after she disappeared, and she must have died, but she did not die.

"Then I asked you why you didn't say it." Aunt Lu heard her say it in such detail, and she couldn't find a loophole to pick for a while, "Why do you say that you have been in Huizhou." ”

"Didn't I survive in the end?" Qi Xiangsi smiled, and the corners of his mouth hooked that smile and seemed to care, "Since I survived, those things are not important, and there is no need to say unimportant things." ”

That smile was both sarcastic and bitter on her face, and the people who watched it were distressed, what kind of things had she experienced to live to this point, not to mention being exiled, and being taken captive to the mountains and almost sold, a life hanging there several times was almost lost.

Aunt Lu was 100% sure that this person was not Ying'er, where could an abducted child live until now, even if she was alive, it was impossible to come back to recognize her relatives, and she might not know which kiln to pick up customers, so she found a few people in Huizhou to identify.

Originally, it must have been able to drive people out of the house, foolproof, why did things become like this as soon as the old lady came, Aunt Lu didn't give up: "Then how did you survive in Yongzhou, since you escaped from the village, why don't you come back early to recognize your relatives." ”

Qi Xiangsi was silent, she lowered her head and didn't answer Aunt Lu's words, the room was quiet, and Aunt Lu's expression once again floated with a touch of conviction, she couldn't say it!

"Did you meet Ying'er who escaped from the village in Yongzhou, she sued you about her, and then you killed her and robbed her of her things to come to the Qi family to recognize her relatives, isn't it?" Aunt Lu's eyes flashed with a strange light, like the truth is the case, she was right!

Qi Xiangsi still didn't say anything, lowered her head, grabbed her clothes tightly with both hands, bit her lip tightly, and tears continued to drip down on the bluestone slab in front of her, silently gathering into a small stall.

Mrs. Qi glanced at Aunt Lu, and for a while, Aunt Lu, who was overjoyed, reacted and looked at herself, but she still couldn't bear the joy in her heart, she just didn't believe that the dead girl was still alive, and it was not good to beat her small body, even if she escaped from the village and lived a life of being poorly clothed and hungry, where could she survive until now, she must have been picked up by someone and heard something before she came to pretend, this girl in front of her, no matter how you look at it, is not the dead girl.

As long as she is driven out of the house, no one will hold on to the affairs of Huizhou anymore, and it won't be long before she will bring the master's heart back, and the Zhuangzi and shop in Huizhou will not be hers at that time.

"Child, grandmother is here, come." Old Madam Qi beckoned to Qi Xiangsi, and comforted her in a harmonious voice, "It's going to be fine." ”

Qi Xiangsi's face was full of tears when she raised her head, and her silent crying was even more touching, her eyes were still full of stubbornness, biting the corners of her mouth, and she refused to cry out even when her skin was broken and blood came out.

Old Madam Qi was so old, how could she look at her so sad, got up and walked towards Qi Xiangsi and hugged her in her arms: "Five girls don't cry, grandmother is in charge of you." ”

"I don't have the money to come to Kyoto, I have been begging in Yongzhou for three years."

There was such a sullen sentence in Mrs. Qi's arms, and Mrs. Qi didn't react to the shock, she initially thought that this child had received favors from others from Huizhou, and the worst result was to beg all the way, and she could hear from her mouth that she had been begging in Yongzhou for three years, which Mrs. Qi never expected.

Old Madam Qi trembled and hugged her, and couldn't help crying: "This child, how much has this child suffered, you are Herui's child is the young lady of our Qi Mansion, how can you suffer so much." ”

The mother died, so young age to live outside, several experiences of life and death, the dignified Miss Qi Mansion actually lived in the layman's begging, and now she has to be criticized for her impersonation, this child's stubborn nature, pain and suffering are not willing to speak, if it is not for Mrs. Qi's moved, she may not cry.

The room was full of the distressed voice of Mrs. Qi, half a month ago, when Mrs. Qi first saw her, she didn't react like this, Qi Herui, the face of the father, was not only guilty but also guilty, Gu glanced at Aunt Lu, and then looked at the three 'witnesses' invited by Huizhou who were kneeling on the ground, and the corners of her mouth raised a touch of sarcasm, okay, she didn't have to send someone to Huizhou to get someone again, and she sent it to the door herself
