Aunt Shi cried so much that she could barely help herself, and she relied on Nianfu's support to hold on and continue, "At that time, I almost had to follow Hui Niang." But a seriously ill woman came to the inn, holding a little girl who was only three months old, and she asked me if I would like to adopt the child. said that if I wanted, she would be my daughter in this life. ”

She raised her teary eyes and looked at Hui Niang, "Originally, my heart was dead and I didn't want to raise it, but the child smelled the milk on my body, and arched his little head and drilled into my arms...... That little appearance is like Hui Niang coming back to life...... I fed her a meal, and she would smile sweetly at me, and I ...... I thought at the time, is this Hui Niang changing her shell and coming back? ”

Nianfu supported his grandmother, hugged his head and cried.

In the war of that year, I don't know how many families were destroyed and how many flesh and blood were dismantled, but it was all because of the kind and simple ordinary people like Aunt Shi that they could support one family after another.

This matter, Aunt Shi has put it in her heart for more than 30 years, and she has never mentioned it to anyone. is Father Shi, and he has always been unswerving that Hui Niang is his own.

Now that he knows the truth, he didn't blame Aunt Shi for concealing it, but slapped himself twice, "It's me, it's me who can't stand you...... I didn't protect you, let alone my Hui Niang. It is all my fault that you have suffered such sin......"

"Grandpa, it's not your fault, it's not your fault." Ouyang Kang also stepped forward to stop the old man with tears in his eyes.

Mu Shaoqin's eyes were inconvenient, and he choked up and kowtowed to the two old men again, "Father, mother, although you are not Hui Niang's biological parents, this nurturing grace is higher than the sky." You will always be Hui Niang, and you are also my own father and mother......"

"Shut up!" Empress Dowager Mu was angry, trembling and pointing at her younger brother, "I don't care how filial you want to be filial and benevolent, but you only have one father and mother, where is the father and mother?" ”

Will you, a dead old woman, die if you don't care? Nian Fu was angry, and said without thinking, "The old and the old, the young and the young." Even I, a country girl who didn't read a school, knew the truth. Why doesn't the Queen Mother understand? ”

"You!" Empress Dowager Mu was furious. But I wanted to refute it, but I couldn't find the words.

Why doesn't she understand this? In her heart, she looked down on countrymen like the second elder of the Shi family, and felt that they were not worthy of the filial piety of her younger brother. In the past, it was not easy to say anything about the name of a father-in-law and mother-in-law, but now that I know that it is not biological, why should I be respected?

There was a pause. She had to change the subject in shame and annoyance. "Your Majesty. Our Mu family has never had a wife or daughter of unknown origin. The mourning family implored the emperor to take away the title of their family, remove the name of Princess Ping, and take justice as the foundation. ”

"Eldest sister!" Mu Shaoqin was also angry. "Regardless of whether Hui Niang is born to the Shi family or not, she is the wife I am marrying. Besides, when she met me when she was poor, and after she became known to me after she was rich and noble, and gave birth to children for me, even if she was divorced, she could not be divorced! ”

Empress Dowager Mu glanced at Nianfu contemptuously, "It's just a girl, and she hasn't given birth to a son, how can she be considered a child?" Shaoqin, don't be confused, it's no good to get involved with this kind of woman. ”

There was anger in Mu Shaoqin's voice, "The eldest sister may not know that Hui Niang is already pregnant, and it is very likely that she is a twin!" ”

Empress Dowager Mu really didn't know about it, and froze there for a while. The daughter-in-law who is pregnant with her own blood has never been kicked out of the house no matter what.

The emperor took over at this time, "Aunt Shi, I ask you, Hui Niang, what is the identity of Princess Ping today?" Did the woman who entrusted her to you mention it? ”

Empress Dowager Mu glanced at the emperor and immediately said, "Say!" If you dare to lie half-word, it is the crime of deception, and the whole family will be beheaded. ”

She originally wanted to threaten a few words, if she dared to lie, she would go to confront that seventh aunt. But Aunt Shi didn't wait for her to finish, so she reached out and took out a small bronze mirror from her arms.

This small bronze mirror is too familiar to the Shi family, including Nianfu. Hui Niang grew up according to it when she was a child, and then gave Nianfu.

Even if the Shi family is rich now, the patterns on the handle of the small bronze mirror are polished, but Aunt Shi still keeps it well. Wherever you go, always take it with you.

Now, she is in this hall, in front of the king of a country, slamming the small bronze mirror to the ground, but she is old and frail, and the mirror is not broken.

Cheng Ping hurriedly picked it up and sent it to Gao Xian, Gao Xian took out a dagger from his sleeve and cut it gently, and the mirror cracked, revealing a gold lock piece embedded in it.

Looking at the dragon and phoenix patterns on it, as well as the eight characters of birth, Gao Xian glanced at Hui Niang with complicated eyes and was silent.

Aunt Shi trembled slightly and kowtowed her head heavily, "The old woman is just a common man, she never understands anything big, but she never lies in her life." When the woman gave me the golden cleat, she also gave me this gold cleat. She said that if the child has an emergency, she will use it as a pawn. However, remember to hammer the words and patterns on the lock plate, otherwise it will cause trouble. If you don't need it, keep it for your child, which can be regarded as a memory. If I don't want this child in the future, let her take this lock piece and go to a Ninghua Meng family. But over the years, I have always treated Hui Niang as my own daughter, where can I not want her? This lock piece, I originally planned to wait for me to die, or bring it into the coffin, or tell Hui Niang. If I make any mistakes because of this, it is all the fault of my wife and son, and please don't blame my daughter, she really doesn't know anything. ”

"Your Majesty," Mu Shaoqin also spoke, looking at Gao Xian's direction with a resolute expression, "A woman is not married to her father, but she is married to her husband." Since Hui Niang married me, what is wrong with her is all my fault. ”

"Shaoqin!" Empress Dowager Mu was anxious.

But Mu Shaoqin completely ignored her anxiety, and resolutely continued, "Our whole family, let the emperor fall, and there will be no complaints." ”

A family of six knelt there so quietly, neither begging for mercy nor pleading for mercy. Just supporting each other, leaning together, waiting for the emperor's decision.

"Your Majesty, Shaoqin is ......" Empress Dowager Mu couldn't help but speak, she could ignore others, but Mu Shaoqin was her only younger brother, and she was absolutely reluctant to let go.

The emperor waved his hand, signaling that she didn't need to say much, "I have already understood King Ping's intentions, you have been tired for several days, so go back to the house to rest first." ”

Empress Dowager Mu just breathed a sigh of relief, but Mu Shaoqin kowtowed again, "The minister still has something to do." ”

"Speak."

"I'll tell you." Nianfu took the initiative to take responsibility, "The emperor also knows that in the past, my dilapidated garden once took in a group of orphans. One of them is named Luo Xiaoyan. ”

Gao Xian remembered, "Is it the child who can't speak?"

He seems to have an emperor's tongue, Shou Ning likes him very much, but he disappeared on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

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

What the? Empress Dowager Mu really felt that her brain was starting to hurt, wasn't that niece already dead? How could she still have children left?

At that moment, Gao Xian's eyes became more complex and incomprehensible, and there was a little difficulty in his voice, "He...... Is this true? ”

Nian Fu shook his head, "I don't know, I just heard that he once had a piece of jade with a yellow background and a green chrysanthemum, and then he lost it." But when we found him this time, he had this piece of jade around his neck again. It's just that Dad's eyes are not good, and we don't recognize them. ”

Gao Xian's eyes suddenly lit up, "Where is the jade?" Where are the people? ”

Ouyang Kang said, "I have brought it back to the capital, just outside the palace gate." ”

"Biography!"

This time, there was even a hint of inexplicable urgency in the majestic voice. But after such a slight gaffe, he quickly remembered more important questions,

"The hell was this kid taken away?"

If it's just an ordinary child missing, it's nothing, but if this child's identity is special, it's worth considering.

Nianfu paused and spit out three words, "I don't know." ”

Just when Gao Xian felt disappointed, she gave another sentence, "Once, Chai Rong of 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 old bottom, but Chai Rong's behavior of sending Luo Xiaoyan back is really weird. Didn't he think that he might shake out Luo Xiaoyan's matter? If that happens, he will be implicated, and what good will it do him?

It is to be blessed and not to say those unfounded words.

After the Mu family discussed, they decided to give the choice to the emperor, they only said what they should say, as for what to do, everything was left to the emperor.

※

In the afternoon of the same day, King Ping's family left the palace. With a large number of rewards from the emperor, the honor is unlimited.

Everyone is sighing in their hearts, in the end, their nephews are close, and the emperor is still very good to his own uncle under such anger. So if you can make friends with King Ping, can you also put a talisman on yourself?

Of course, the noble status of King Ping is beyond the reach of ordinary people. But the lord of Jiashan's horse is in the broken garden, will it be easier to find him?

So, Nianfu and they had just returned home, and before their buttocks were hot, they received a lot of inexplicable gifts and invitations.

But Ouyang Kang ignored all these kindnesses sent to the door, and after seeing the old lady and Su Cheng, he hurriedly rested, and after dinner, when it got dark, he changed his clothes and quietly went out.

Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.

Next year's closing is approaching, and it is a busy time, but the door of his house is closed, revealing a solemn and deserted.

Everyone knows that Pei Xingyan has an accident, and everyone knows that the little grandfather of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is Pei Xingyan's apprentice, at this time, who else would want to get involved with his family?

If there is, it would be a fool.

But in this world, there are always such stupid people. (To be continued......)
