Chapter 145: Evidence Cut Out
"My lord, we are not talking nonsense, if you don't believe it, you can go to Zhuangzi to inquire, the year our daughter disappeared, it was when the fourth lady was seriously ill, what if...... If it wasn't taken away, ...... How could you say that you are gone, let alone replace the fourth lady who died of illness at that time, and become your daughter. ”
The middle-aged woman, Li, cried loudly, and fell to the ground crying silently.
"I've seen my father!" Qu Moying walked in and saluted Qu Zhizhen.
"Father, but what happened, they ...... Who is it? Qu Qiuyan also saluted together, and then raised her head and looked at the couple kneeling on the ground in amazement, her face full of surprise.
Compared with Qu Moying, Qu Qiuyan has always been Qu Zhizhen's favorite daughter, and what she said was casual.
Qu Zhizhen waved his hand and motioned for his two daughters to get up, "You sit down first!" ”
The two obediently sat down on either side.
"Daughter...... Woman...... Child. Seeing Qu Moying, Li immediately whimpered with tears, his eyes fell on Qu Moying's body tightly, as if he wanted to approach, but he didn't dare, he could only kneel on the ground and whimper and couldn't speak, describing himself as pitiful.
"Do you mean that Mama Gu stole your daughter and replaced my daughter at that time, and my daughter was actually sick and dead at that time?" Qu Zhizhen asked impatiently, his eyes sharp.
Although he doesn't like Qu Moying, it doesn't mean that he is willing to do such a thing.
This kind of thing is simply a great shame, a dignified squire, who is also famous in the court, but he is so confused that even the original daughter has been replaced, and a fake daughter has been raised, which is really too much to think.
"Yes, begging the adults to return my daughter, we are going to return to our hometown, if we don't take our daughter away, we will be separated for the rest of our lives, we don't care about the hardships of life, we just want the family to be reunited, and please make it happen." Li Shi kowtowed to Qu Zhizhen again, and said while wiping his tears.
"When did you know...... Is it your daughter's? Qu Zhizhen asked with a gloomy face.
"It's just recently, I only learned recently, if it weren't for the news revealed in Mama Gu's words, we wouldn't have known about it...... Then we came to our daughter in private...... Can...... But she didn't recognize us and let us go, but gave us some clothes and ...... There are also pastries that have just been delivered. ”
Li Shi said and opened an oiled paper bag in front of him, and there were several pastries inside, although there were already fragments on the pastry, and it didn't look so complete, but he could vaguely see the appearance of the pastry.
"Hey, isn't this a new pastry made in the house? Just these two days. Qu Qiuyan let out a low "huh" and said in surprise.
After finishing speaking, he seemed to have discovered his aphasia, and hurriedly turned his head away, and gently wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief to hide his gaffe.
Her words were not high, but in this study, there was a sudden quiet atmosphere, even if it was very light, Qu Zhizhen also heard it clearly, reached out and pressed the green tendons beating on his forehead, and glanced at the little guy standing on the side.
In the past, this little guy served him to eat pastries and tidy up the study.
The little guy took two steps forward, carefully identified it, and then nodded silently at Qu Zhizhen, indicating that Qu Qiuyan's words were right, it was indeed a newly made pastry in the house, and it was a matter of the past two days.
A middle-aged couple on the Zhuangzi naturally can't get the newly made pastries in the house, because they are newly made, and there are not many in the house, that is, some are sent to several masters, and it is impossible for the people to eat them, and the oil paper bag in front of them must be sent by which master in the house.
Qu Zhizhen's eyes looked at Qu Moying, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"Father, did you come to me because of them?" Qu Moying raised her eyes and looked at Qu Zhizhen calmly, and asked unhurriedly.
"They said it was your parents, you were taken away from them by Mama Gu when you were a child, and now they don't know the situation, and now they want to go back to their hometown and want to take you away." Qu Zhizhen tried his best to calm down and patiently finished the matter.
After that, his eyes stared at Qu Moying's reaction.
"Daughter, you...... You sent us pastries, clothes, and a plate to let us leave Beijing, but we are your real parents, how can we be willing to leave you, daughter, don't worry, after you come back, the two of us will not treat you badly no matter what, although it is not as good as the Shilang Mansion, but it will definitely make you happy and happy. ”
Li Shi turned to Qu Moying and cried.
The two young ladies who came in were actually very recognizable, and the one wearing the veil was the fourth miss, which was their target.
"Daughter, you must be our flesh and blood, and it is not right to occupy the name of the fourth lady of Qufu again." Liu Shan, a middle-aged man, also wiped his tears and hurriedly said.
The two husbands and wives look like honest people, with honest faces, and traces of labor on their hands, so they know at a glance that they are ordinary dealers.
"You say I'm your daughter, what proof do you have?" Qu Moying asked with a faint look in his eyes.
"Daughter...... Daughter...... You have already recognized us, why don't you recognize us at this time? Mama Gu...... Mama Gu said that day, we came to Beijing to find you, after finding you, although you recognized us, but you were unwilling to go with us, daughter, even if you have glory and wealth, where can you be worthy of blood kinship. ”
Li couldn't cry silently, and said loudly while crying, as if it were true.
Qu Moying hooked the corners of his lips mockingly, the couple that Yu Shi found was really well-founded, and they looked sincere, and the most important thing was that the identity was also true, it was not difficult to find out, just like the man in the Great Compassion Temple at that time, the matter was very easy to investigate, and it could be verified quickly, the more this is the case, the more people believe that the matter is true.
But seeing Qu Zhizhen sitting there with a cold face, with cold air all over his body, he knew that he believed most of it.
Although she doesn't look down on Qu Zhizhen, and she doesn't identify with Qu Zhizhen as her father in her heart, she won't let people defile herself at will.
She never wanted to give up the position of Miss Qu Si.
"You say I'm your daughter, what's the proof?" Qu Moying said, his demeanor was calm.
"Yes, we have it, this is the clothes you asked Yahuan to send us, and this plate of wrapping, this is the pastry that was just sent, saying that we want to taste something new." Li fiddled with the objects in front of him, and pointed them to Qu Moying one by one, there were still a lot of entanglements, some scattered silver, it was really a lot, at least about ten taels.
Qu Moying's own monthly routine is only five taels a month, which is only available after Qu Moying returned home, and when she was in Zhuangzi before, she could get very little.
"Daughter, these are, and this, this is made by Mama Gu...... middle-aged man Liu Shan saw that she didn't believe it, and hurriedly took out a sachet from a pile of things, sure enough, Mama Gu did it for her when she entered Beijing this time, "Although Mama Gu stole our child, she was also guilty in her heart, and she always went to the temple to ask for Buddha, and forgave her for this selfish behavior." ”
"This is the sachet she begged for, I heard that there are things in it that are talismans, in addition to these, there is also a proof of your identity."
The sachet is a sealed [Begonia Library], and the needle and thread have not been opened until now.
Qu Zhizhen's face became more and more difficult to look at, and his eyes were gloomy looking at the middle-aged couple kneeling below, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed but he didn't speak, looking like he was waiting for the situation to develop strangely.
"This ...... It is indeed the sachet that the fourth sister wore when she entered the house. Qu Qiuyan didn't have so much mood to watch the play, and after admitting it, she said with a face full of surprise, raised her head and glanced at Qu Moying, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she wanted to stop talking and didn't say anything.
"Where did you get this sachet, how about taking it apart?" Qu Moying asked.
"Daughter, didn't you ask Yudong to take out this sachet for us? Why don't you recognize it now, since my daughter wants to see it, then ...... Let's dismantle it! Liu Shan said, stretched out his hand and handed the sachet to the little guy in front of him, "Please also ask the adults to check it." ”
Qu Zhizhen nodded, the little guy took the sachet, went to the side and found a scissors, cut the mouth of the sachet, and shook out two things from it.
One is a small and ordinary amulet, which looks like the kind asked for in the temple, which is used for protection and blessing, and the other is a very small piece of paper that has been removed.
Qu Zhizhen took the note from the hand of the little maid, opened it and saw that it clearly said "Father: Liu Shan, Mother Li, and there was nothing else.
Qu Zhizhen looked at Qu Moying with gloomy eyes and did not speak.
"This is the evidence you said, and I also inquired about it from Mama Gu?" Qu Moying did not step forward to check the evidence, but turned to the husband and wife.
"Right...... Yes, if it weren't for Mama Gu's words, we wouldn't have known this fact, daughter, let's go back together, the reunion of the family is more important than anything else, as long as everyone is well, nothing else is nothing. The middle-aged woman Li cried loudly again.
"You know what's inside?" Qu Moying ignored her crying and asked rhetorically.
"This ...... I heard that this is about the evidence of certifying that you are our daughter, and Mama Gu said that she put it in...... I...... I don't know what it is, but it must be evidence. Although Liu Shan chuckled, he still slipped his words, wiping his tears as he spoke, looking extremely pitiful.
"What if it doesn't?" Qu Moying suddenly sneered and said.
She just deceived them into not seeing, illiterate!
"This ...... This can't be ......" After the two couples were stunned for a moment, Li Shi reacted first, cried and shook his head, "Mama Gu said so, how could it not be true." ”
"What if it's really not true? If you pretend to be an official or a relative, you will inevitably be sent to the official for investigation. Qu Moying's expression became more and more calm.
Qu Qiuyan also had a calm face, but what was calm was her surface, and the handkerchief in her hand was tightly twisted into a ball, which showed that she couldn't calm down now, especially when she saw the frightened expression on the faces of this middle-aged couple, her heart jumped suddenly.
It's a bad feeling!
