Chapter 82: The Twin Sons Who Died (2nd Watch)
"Probably not, right? On the side of the government, the nurse has been interrogated repeatedly, and the red mole behind your ear also confirms her statement. You can't be wrong. As for your mother'......" the old lady shook her head and smiled, "the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, everyone in this world has it, and all kinds of strange ideas are also available." Could it be that someone else said in front of her that you were rejecting her? So it's not surprising that she has this attitude towards you. ”
Xu Xi was not surprised by the old lady's attitude.
Regarding her life experience, she mentioned it to the old lady last night, but the old lady didn't answer it at all, so she knew what the old lady's attitude was.
The old lady now just wants to get through the low tide of the Hou Mansion peacefully, and she doesn't want to make more trouble and make too many moths. Otherwise, once an in-depth investigation finds out something bad, she will not be able to whitewash the peace, and she will need to face the serious consequences of all this. This kind of consequence is very likely to be unbearable for her.
is still the same sentence, because Zhao Yuanliang is not the old lady's own son, so what is the matter of the second room, as long as it does not hinder the development of the Hou Mansion, the old lady does not want to care. Who is Wei's daughter, the old lady doesn't care at all.
If this matter is placed in modern times, the way to deal with it is very simple, you only need to take Wei's hair and do a DNA test with Xu Xi's, and it is clear whether she is your biological daughter or not; But not at all in ancient times. Dripping blood to recognize relatives is pure ignorance.
The old lady has such an attitude, Xu Xi has no money and no one, and she has no ability to investigate this matter, so she can only put it aside. Her plan is to quietly brush up on points to make money and develop and expand her own abilities. As long as the Wei family doesn't find fault with her, everyone doesn't interfere with the river water, and the old lady and the eldest lady promise her marriage that she will be the master, then there is no need to hold on to this.
But Wei came to act in such a scene, and the old lady began to make peace with the mud. In the future, the Wei family approached step by step, and at the critical moment, maybe the promises of the old lady and the eldest lady would not count. Instead of letting them change around, it is better to muddy the water yourself and set a fire in the old lady's heart.
Xu Xi looked at Mama Jin, Tortoiseshell and Qingfeng who were standing aside, and said, "You all go out, I have something to say to the old lady." ”
Everyone didn't move, they all looked at the old lady.
The old lady looked at Xu Xi suspiciously, thought about it, and waved her hand at everyone.
When there were only two people left in the house, Xu Xi spoke: "Old lady, the eldest lady once said that she gave birth to a child on the same day as the second lady. At that time, you were sick, the eldest lady and the second lady were giving birth, the third lady didn't care about anything, and the whole house was in chaos. Now that you think back to the performance of the second lady during this time, don't you and the eldest lady have doubts in your hearts? ”
At this, she blinked, looked at the old lady, and said no more.
Many times, people only trust their own judgment and are unwilling to be swayed by other people's ideas, especially the suspicious old lady like the old lady. Rather than her guess, let the old lady draw her own conclusions.
The old lady was stunned, then glanced at Xu Xi deeply, and said, "I thought about it." ”
This time it was Xu Xi's turn to be stunned.
"But it can't be." The old lady then continued.
"Huh?" Xu Xi's eyes widened slightly, "How do you say this?" ”
The old lady saw that she only had a strong interest in her eyes, as if she was a child who had found a new toy, and there was only curiosity and exploration in her eyes, but there was no sadness and disappointment, and she felt more and more unable to see through Xu Xi.
This girl always speaks and acts unexpectedly.
"You look like Master Hou, and the second lady was going to bring back the girl named Xu Xue at that time, and the eldest lady and I were suspicious. I just think about it, and I think it's impossible. ”
The old lady reached out and took the teacup, took a sip, and continued: "If you are the daughter of the eldest lady, after the second lady exchanged you with her child, she was worried about being discovered, so she deliberately found an excuse to change the tone between you and Zhao Ru, then, what about the child who changed it to the eldest lady?" ”
"Young Master." Xu Xidao.
The old lady bowed her head: "If it is Brother Li'er, then he and Brother An should be twins, right?" But they don't look alike. Not only is it not the same, but it is very different. ”
"But twins are different." Xu Xidao.
The old lady was stunned: "How is it possible?" Of the twins I've seen or heard of, as long as they're of the same gender, they're all exactly the same. Only the dragon and phoenix fetuses don't look like each other. ”
"It's different. Not only is it different, but the appearance of the two is quite different. Why don't you send someone out to inquire among the people? ”
Identical twins naturally look exactly the same, but fraternal twins have different appearances, and most of the same sex are identical, so the old lady said so. Although the appearance of Zhao Jingan and Zhao Jingli is quite different, this absolutely cannot rule out the possibility that they are twins.
Seeing that Xu Xi was very sure, the old lady asked, "How do you know so clearly?" ”
"I grew up in the market, and that's what I like to pass on the streets the most." Xu Xi said, looking at the old lady with dark eyes, "I also heard that wealthy families are not allowed to have twins." If there is, one must be drowned, otherwise it will be a mess. ”
The old lady's expression changed suddenly.
The saying that one of the twins is going to drown is something Xu Xi got in his last life. A pair of twin sons who look exactly the same, one of them inherits the throne or title, and if the other has evil intentions, as long as he makes the other party die and make him stupid, he can swap identities without much effort and inherit the throne or title in place of the other party. The same is true for twin daughters, don't be too easy to marry; If one marries well, the other marries badly, and marries badly, it is easy to succeed.
Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, once this kind of wealthy family gives birth to twins, they often have to drown one of them to avoid disasters.
She would have been skeptical of this statement, but looking at the old lady's face, it seemed to be true.
"If the second lady gave birth to twins, even if they don't look like each other, and she is worried that you are going to drown her child, will she find a way? It just so happens that the eldest lady also gave birth to a child, if she is replaced, she can not only let her child survive, but also let her son become the prince of the Hou Mansion, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? At that time, the turmoil in the house gave her a chance, so she took a risk and let people change the child. ”
The old lady was frightened by Xu Xi's statement, and stammered when she spoke: "No, it's impossible, right? ”
"I think it's very likely." Xu Xi said, "The eldest lady is the party, you can ask her if there is such a possibility." In addition, I will also carefully check the events of that year. Either way, there's nothing wrong with being careful. Otherwise, you and the eldest lady worked hard to plan for the Hou Mansion, and as a result, the second lady's son inherited the Hou Mansion, are you afraid that you will be so angry that you vomit blood, right? ”
