Seeing that the eldest daughter was obviously good in both complexion and spirit, Duchess Mu Guo's hanging heart was completely put down.

An hour ago, the eldest daughter vomited blood, and at that time, Duchess Mu Guo was really panicked, and asked people to invite all the famous doctors in Beijing, and ordered someone to use the post of the Guogong Mansion to invite the imperial doctor, but Mama Chen said that it was better to go to Chu Qianchen.

Duchess Mu only thought that the Shen family should want to see Chu Qianchen, so she asked Mama Chen to invite someone, but she didn't expect Chu Qianchen's medical skills to be so extraordinary at such a young age!

If it weren't for what she saw with her own eyes, Duchess Mu Guo couldn't believe that the medical skills of a young girl who was not as good as the imperial doctor with gray hair could be more sophisticated.

This girl is amazing!

There is no shortage of amazing geniuses on the ancestors of the Shen family, and the great-uncle and grandfather of the current Mu Guogong have the ability to never forget, and he won the champion at the age of eighteen, and he is a genius of Lianzhong Sanyuan; There is also Mu Guogong's deceased father, You is good at judging cases, and when he sees the slightest clues, he can't escape his eyes, and he is also a capable minister in the court when he is alive......

Thinking about it, Duchess Mu looked at Chu Qianchen with a little more love in her eyes, and she stopped talking, her eyes were extremely complicated.

Shen sat up with Mama Chen's support, leaning on a large pillow behind him, his eyes still staring at Chu Qianchen.

Shen wanted to say something, but Chu Qianchen held his hand down, "Mother, do you have something to tell me?" Let's talk about it after taking the medicine. ”

With Shen's current state, it is really not appropriate to be too excited.

Duchess Mu Guo looked at Shen and her heart was complicated, she knew that her daughter was going to have a long talk with Chu Qianchen, so she bowed her head and said to Chu Yunmu: "Brother Mu, it's not too early, you still have to go to class tomorrow, go back to the room to rest first, here are me and your second sister." ”

Chu Yunmu looked at Duchess Mu Guo, and then at Shen and Chu Qianchen, and always felt that they had something to hide from him, and now they deliberately wanted to send him away.

At this time, Chu Qianchen asked, "Brother Mu, do you still want to go to the barracks with your brother-in-law in the future?" ”

Chu Yunmu's eyes lit up in an instant, and he nodded straight.

Chu Qianchen said again: "Then go to sleep." ”

Chu Yunmu felt that he was threatened by his sister, and he should be mighty and unyielding, however, as soon as he met his sister's eyes, he became gray and touched his nose.

"Then I'll wait for my mother to drink the medicine before leaving?" Chu Yunmu raised his head and discussed with Chu Qianchen.

Looking at the happy appearance of the two sisters and brothers, Duchess Mu Guo felt even more emotional, warmly and astringently. Hey, this is fate!

Chu Yunmu stayed by the Shen family's couch, and asked for warmth again, poured tea and water for a while, wiped her sweat for a while, and served Shen very well.

After about another stick of incense, Dongmei came in with a tray with a steaming medicine bowl on the tray.

After staring at Shen and drinking the medicine, Chu Yunmu also gave her a candied fruit to eat intimately, and advised, "Mother, you have to rest well." ”

"Grandmother, don't rest too late."

"Second sister, then I'll go."

Chu Yunmu took care of everyone, and finally turned around and left.

Duchess Mu Guo's face was straight, and she instructed her personal grandmother: "You go and invite that guest monk." ”

The mama was ordered to step back.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.

Shen Shi was still staring at Chu Qianchen, his eyes were slightly moist, and he held Chu Qianchen's hand tightly, as if a voice was shouting hoarsely in his heart.

She barely settled down, her chest was still rising and falling slightly, and she entered the topic in a hoarse voice: "Fourteen years ago, I went to your hometown in Yuzhou with your father and the whole family to mourn your cousin and grandfather. ”

"Because of premature birth, this baby was born very hard......"

"After giving birth to a baby girl, I fainted from exhaustion, and Mama Chen was worried about me, so she went to a nearby village to find a doctor for me. When I woke up again, it was already a day and a night. ”

Shen's voice was weak and slow, and when she spoke of certain places, she was very emotional, almost choked, and crystal tears stained her eyelashes.

She has always been shrewd and resolute on weekdays, and she seems so fragile at this moment.

In the past fourteen years, she had never suspected that something else had happened in the short half day that Mama Chen walked away, until recently, more and more things have aroused her suspicions......

Mama Chen's eyes were also red, and she regretted it: if she hadn't walked away and left her wife alone, this kind of thing would not have happened......

Chu Qianchen listened silently.

Shen is talking about these things now, and there are many things that she doesn't know.

After having a trace of suspicion in his heart, Chu Qianchen also asked Amber to inquire about the old man in the house, knowing that Aunt Jiang was born to her hometown back then, and she also knew that Shen was the first child born on the way to her hometown.

Chu Qianchen was silent.

Duchess Mu Guo tightly clutched the string of Buddhist beads in her hand, the green tendons on the back of her hand protruded, and pondered: The timing of her daughter's premature birth was too deliberate and too coincidental.

If it was in the capital back then, my daughter would have noticed that something was wrong, but at that time, it was halfway through, an unfamiliar environment, and there were folk rumors of "seven lives and eight lives", and under the chaos, it was impossible for the daughter who gave birth for the first time to find this kind of "deliberate".

With Shen's narration, Mama Chen recalled the past again, thinking that she was uncomfortable as if she was being caught.

During this period of time, she has also recalled the past more than ten years ago over and over again, regretting that she was too rash back then.

Mama Chen took two deep breaths, sorted out her thoughts, and said, "That day, it was really too chaotic. ”

"Back then, after my wife gave birth in Daping Temple, she was bleeding profusely and fainted. The slave maid was anxious, so she followed a small master in the temple to the nearby Wangjia Village and found a stable woman who knew medical skills and came back. ”

"The slave maid only left for half a day, about two hours, and when the slave and maid returned to Daping Temple, the lady was still unconscious, but the doctor had already shown her, saying that the lady was fine......

The slave also heard that the baby girl was suffocated by amniotic fluid, her whole body was bruised, and her life was on the line. Daping Temple is in the suburbs, the doctor can't arrive for a while, Hou Ye heard that the abbot master of the temple is good at Qi Huang, so he took the baby girl to the abbot, and was carried back the next day, there is no danger. ”

"At that time, there were too many things that happened in just one day, and it was too chaotic, the slave didn't think much about it at all, just felt that Mrs. This is the auspicious person's own natural appearance, although the birth of this baby is difficult, but the mother and daughter are safe."

As she spoke, Mama Chen's voice became more and more difficult, and her voice seemed to be squeezed out of her throat.

Mu Guogong didn't leave, he listened outside the screen, his fists clenched together, his old but not cloudy eyes were as dark as an abyss, and his body was as stiff as a stone carving.

Duchess Mu Guo's lips were pursed, and her nails were sunk deep into her palms.

The air was heavy, and it was overwhelming.

After that, Shen Shi continued to say after Mama Chen's words: "I was in a coma for a day and a night, and I didn't know anything about what happened during that time......

"When I woke up, the baby was sleeping on a cot next to me, and she was very thin, even thinner than a normal premature baby, and she didn't even weigh five pounds."

To this day, Shen still remembers that scene clearly, as if engraved in her heart.

That was the first time she saw her child, the little baby sleeping peacefully, so petite, so weak, like a tender petal, she didn't even dare to hold it.

Shen stopped again, her chest heaving slightly, and she struggled to calm her emotions.

It was a hot summer day, but there was a chill in the room.

Duchess Mu couldn't help but go to see Chu Qianchen.

Chu Qianchen sat on a stool next to Shen's couch, with an elegant posture and a calm bearing, with a kind of composure like Yue Zhiyuan.

This girl is so calm.

Duchess Mu Guo's heart moved.

This girl is a smart person, and it is impossible for her daughter and Mama Chen to not understand when it comes to this......

So......

Did Chu Qianchen have long been suspicious of her background?

Did she have already guessed what they were investigating for more than ten years, and also saw why her daughter was sick today......

This kid is so smart!

Duchess Mu looked at Chu Qianchen's eyes with both love and heartache, as well as feelings of pity, joy and so on.

She settled down before she said: "The abbot master of Daping Temple passed away eight years ago, it was just a small temple, and there were few monks from fourteen years ago......

Moreover, the matter of giving birth to a child involved female dependents, and not many monks would appear in the courtyard where the Shen family was located at that time.

"The people we sent to Daping Temple found a monk who knew the guest back then, and he just arrived in the capital today."

After a pause, Duchess Mu looked at Chu Qianchen's expression cautiously, and then said: "That monk said that your father went to the abbot back then and came out with a swaddling ......."

"Later, he occasionally heard the abbot master sigh and say that he hoped that the child would have a great life......"

After finishing speaking, Duchess Mu Guo's expression became more and more cautious, and her eyes were still fixed on Chu Qianchen.

On the day of Wanshou Day, when she saw Chu Qianchen for the first time, she had the feeling of seeing her eldest daughter when she was young.

It's not that Chu Qianchen's appearance looks like the eldest daughter, they just have a pair of phoenix eyes that are eight or nine percent alike, but the figures and temperaments of the two are very similar, which makes Duchess Mu feel familiar for a moment.

In fact, up to now, the two children were swapped out of speculation, and there is no more tangible evidence, but judging from all kinds of clues, this matter should not be wrong.

It was not the first time that Shen had heard this remark from the monk Zhike, and when she heard her mother again, there was a feeling in her heart as if she was being burned and tormented by something, and there was a dull pain in her chest.

The pain was also evident in her appearance, and she raised her hand to cover her chest, her brow furrowed, and her face looked pained.

"Zhi!" Duchess Mu Guo was in a hurry, for fear that her daughter would be so angry that she vomited blood.

Mu Guogong, who was outside the screen, heard the call of his old wife, and was also worried about his daughter, so he no longer cared about the rules and etiquette, and rushed in around the screen.

Chu Qianchen sat next to Shen, she moved faster, took out a sachet from her sleeve pocket and put it under Shen's nose.

"Mother, listen to me, breathe in through your nose and exhale with your mouth."

"Inhale, exhale."

Chu Qianchen dragged Shen Shi with words, increasing her breathing, and at the same time, she massaged several acupoints on her hands, and motioned for Amber to stroke Shen's back.

Soon, Shen's face softened, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still slightly pale.

"Sister Chen," Shen Shi held Chu Qianchen's warm hand and held it tightly, "Do you remember what your second aunt said?" ”

Her hands were cold, her voice was slightly trilling, and even her hands were trembling slightly.

"Yes." Chu Qianchen nodded.

Liu said that fourteen years ago, Mrs. Xu saw Chu Lingxiao carry a swaddling baby into Aunt Jiang's delivery room.

Shen Shi held Chu Qianchen's hand tighter, and there seemed to be two clusters of flames burning in his eyes, blazing, and his expression became even more excited.

She adjusted her breathing according to Chu Qianchen's instructions, and said slowly but firmly:

"You, you weren't born to Jiang Minshan, and you're not a child in the outer room, you were born to me!"

She's her daughter!

During this time, this sentence has been hidden in Shen's heart, until now she can finally say it.

She can be sure that Chu Qianchen is her daughter!

Because of the excitement, Shen's voice was hoarse and choked, and her heart beat violently in her chest.

Bang bang bang!

Her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.

Amber on the side of "......" was dumbfounded and stunned when she heard this, and her mind went blank.

Chu Qianchen met the eyes of the Shen family beside her.

Compared to Shen, her expression and gaze are very calm, or should I say calm. There is wisdom in her that is beyond her years.

"Mother," Chu Qianchen asked, "Did the monk just see it from afar?" ”

"Yes." Shen responded.

She thought that Chu Qianchen didn't believe it, so she pulled her to the edge of the couch and sat down, depicting her delicate and soft facial features with her eyes, stupidly, lingeringly.

"Do you remember the housekeeper Mama Yu and the nurse who served by your side in the past, they are all gone?" Shen said again.

Chu Qianchen nodded.

Shen said: "Your nurse died of illness, Mama Yu was originally alive and well, but when I asked people to start investigating her last month, she was stoned to death by a flower pot on the road, and she died a strange death."

These two people served Aunt Jiang in their hometown in Yuzhou back then, followed her for many years, and were later rewarded to Chu Qianchen.

Shen kept staring at Chu Qianchen's face, his eyes burning.

Her fingers were weak and weak, but she always firmly grasped Chu Qianchen's hand.

During this time, this matter lingered in Shen's heart.

At the beginning, she only suspected that Chu Qianchen's life experience was suspicious, and suspected that Aunt Jiang was not Chu Qianchen's biological mother, so she began to investigate this matter, and when she found out that Mama Yu was suddenly stoned to death, she vaguely realized that Chu Qianchen's life experience was probably really problematic, and the problem was not small, so that someone wanted to kill people.

When she heard that Chu Qianchen was Chu Lingxiao who hugged Aunt Jiang, the suspicion in her heart rose to the highest point, and a terrible guess began to emerge in her heart: Will her daughter be replaced?!

From the moment this thought came to her mind, it became a problem in her heart.

Even she didn't know whether she wanted this to be true or false, and she was thinking about it day and night, day and night.

Gradually, depression became incredible.

In fact, long before the Zhike monk arrived in Beijing, the Shen family had already felt that this matter was nine times out of ten, and what the Zhike monk said today just further verified her guess.

So, the breath that had been held in her heart for a long time suddenly burst out.

She was so angry that she vomited blood.

At this moment, Shen's mood was too complicated to describe in words.

She wanted to hold Chu Qianchen in her arms, wanted to tell her a lot, said that she was sorry, that she was so stupid all these years, and that she would compensate her well in the future......

But when the words came to her mouth, she felt that the words she wanted to say were so powerless, this child had been too bitter and bitter for more than ten years.

Shen's eyes were red again, with a layer of hazy tears, and she held back not to let the tears flow.

Duchess Mu Guo looked at her daughter like this, and she was very distressed.

She wanted to say something, but was held down by Mu Guogong and motioned for her to let her daughter come by herself. After all, this is their mother and daughter's business, some things outsiders can't help, and some things have to be said by the daughter herself, the daughter's heart knot can't be untied, and the granddaughter may not be able to let go.

Mu Guogong also felt uncomfortable in his heart, and pulled his old wife to sit next to him first.

Shen Shi took a few more deep breaths before opening his mouth again, his voice became even hoarse, and he asked a series of questions: "Sister Chen, do you remember that Aunt Jiang has been refusing to let you approach me and Brother Mu all these years?" ”

"Do you remember that Aunt Jiang always wants you to live in Zhuangzi in the suburbs, away from the Hou Mansion?"

"Do you still remember the past few years, but whenever you want to go out of the mansion or have a big banquet in the mansion, Aunt Jiang will be unwell, and she will leave you by her side for various reasons and not let you see outsiders?"

"And ......"

Shen Shi stared deeply at Chu Qianchen's phoenix eyes, and said in a difficult voice: "Aunt Jiang, she doesn't even like you to get close to Brother Yi'er, right?" ”

While speaking, Shen couldn't help but think of Chu Qianchen's childhood.

At that time, the little girl combed two mustaches, her delicate face was like a white porcelain doll, Yuxue was cute, she was well-behaved, she always spoke slowly, softly, very obedient and sensible.

She saw that the child was well-behaved, and she also wanted to be closer, and Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang were the same age, so they could play together and read together, but during that time, Jiang Minshan was sick for a while, and cried to Chu Lingxiao for a while, looking like she was going to snatch the child from her.

Later, when Chu Qianchen saw herself, she hid, and she knew that it was Aunt Jiang who asked her not to get close to her.

She has always disliked the difficulties of strong people, so she has a cold heart towards Chu Qianchen.

Looking back now, this is simply Jiang Minshan's lack of heart, she is afraid that she will find clues after being with Chu Qianchen for a long time, so she doesn't want them to get too close.

Jiang Minshan wanted to raise Chu Qianchen crookedly, and wanted to make this child isolated in the Hou Mansion!

Thinking about it, Shen's heart began to throb again, and his heart was like a knife.

Her daughter should have been a treasure to be cared for in the palm of her hand, she should have wanted to enjoy the pampering of her family, and she should have lived a proud and carefree life, instead of living so humble and difficult.

Shen hated Chu Lingxiao, hated Aunt Jiang, and hated herself.

As a mother, she was supposed to protect her daughter, but she didn't.

This kind of guilt and remorse made Shen Shi feel uneasy, so that she almost didn't dare to touch Chu Qianchen.

She was afraid that her daughter would hate her.

The words that Shen said were also like countless needles piercing the hearts of Mu Guogong and Mu Guoduchess

The two elders both felt uncomfortable, and their faces were extremely ugly, but now, they can't regret it.

Chu Qianchen didn't speak, one hand clenched into a fist, as if thinking.

Her silence made Shen's heart even more tormented, and Shen called out with some caution: "Sister Chen'er......"

Everyone's eyes fell on Chu Qianchen, including Mama Chen and Amber.

"Mother," Chu Qianchen looked at Shen's clear eyes, and said in a steady tone, "Are you saying that after I was born, I was taken away by my father and replaced by Aunt Jiang?" ”

"I wasn't actually born to Aunt Jiang, I was born to my mother, right?"

Shen Shi was stunned, recalled, and realized that she only said that Chu Qianchen was not from Jiang Minshan, but was born by herself, but forgot to say that she and Chu Qianhuang were exchanged with each other.

"Yes!" Shen nodded again and again, and said in a deep voice, "Fourteen years ago, after I gave birth to a child in Daping Temple, your father secretly took you away and took you to your hometown, Sister Huang...... Chu Qianhuang, she is Jiang Minshan's birth! ”

At first, Shen's tone was quite self-controlled, but later, her emotions became excited again, and her body trembled uncontrollably, and her voice was almost roaring.

At this time, Shen Shi thought back to those doubts on Chu Qianhuang, and he had also figured out the places that he had been unable to figure out.

I see.

No wonder Chu Qianhuang used all means to enter the palace!

No wonder many of Chu Qianhuang's behaviors in the past six months can't be explained at all!

No wonder Chu Qianhuang suddenly seemed to be a different person......

These doubts can be deduced to an obvious result -

"Chu Qianhuang, she also knows the truth!"

Shen came to a conclusion with certainty.

Her words were finalized, which made the faces of Mu Guogong and his wife, Mama Chen and others change again, and their hearts were filled with bitterness.

All these years of dedication and getting along are not fake, no matter what Chu Qianhuang's real life experience is, over the years, Mu Guogong and his wife have loved him as their own granddaughter, how can they say that they can let it go!

Shen closed his eyes with difficulty, as if he had been poured a bucket of ice water, and his heart was as cold as ice.

It dawned on her.

The hidden reason behind all the unreasonableness is actually very simple, because Chu Qianhuang recently knew her own life experience, so she didn't trust herself, so she had to seek her own future, so she disobeyed herself again and again.

"Smack!"

Duchess Mu couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, and slapped her palm heavily on the coffee table next to her.

She was both angry and hateful in her heart, and gritted her teeth and scolded: "Chu Lingxiao is really not a thing, such a despicable thing can be done." ”

"Our Shen family treats them and the Chu family is also benevolent!"

"A good eldest daughter was promised to them, and he actually used his concubine as a concubine, and he deliberately humiliated my granddaughter over the years!"

The more Duchess Mu thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more she scolded, the more angry she became.

If Chu Lingxiao was in front of her now, she would have already slapped her, no, where would this slap be enough to vent the hatred in her heart!

Fourteen years, their Shen family's good granddaughter was treated as a concubine, and that Aunt Jiang was trampled like dust, but they didn't know anything, but they were like a treasure to a concubine.

The hatred in the heart of the Duchess of Mu Guo surged, as if a volcano was about to erupt.

It's like you are sending charcoal in the snow, the other party is not only grateful, but also reciprocating you with the greatest malice.

Where is this two families marrying, it's simply a feud!

Duchess Mu Guo did not know until today that a human heart could be degraded to this point, and her chest began to ache, like thousands of needles piercing her heart.

She raised her hand to cover her heart, her cheeks were blue, her breath was slightly panting, and the green tendons in her neck appeared from time to time.

Seeing this, Shen was frightened and hurriedly said, "Mother, you have a heart disease, don't be too excited." ”

"Mother, I'm here."

Chu Qianchen dropped this sentence, walked quickly towards Duchess Mu Guo, gave her a pulse, and took a heart pill for her to eat.

She had just seen Chu Qianchen's medical skills, and Duchess Mu Guo would not have the slightest suspicion about her, almost a password and an action, and she was extremely obedient.

Soon, Duchess Mu's mood stabilized.

Chu Qianchen looked at Mu Guogong who was sitting next to Duchess Mu again, thinking that his face was much better than that of Duchess Mu Guo, but after all, he was also old, the corners of his forehead were bruised, and his face was a little gloomy.

Chu Qianchen stretched out his hand, "Give it to me." ”

Without waiting for Mu Guogong to react, Duchess Mu couldn't wait to stuff his wrist in the direction of Chu Qianchen.

Chu Qianchen also checked Mu Guogong's pulse, and then instructed Amber to take a sachet from the medicine box and hand it to him, "These days, wear it." ”

Mu Guogong took the sachet, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and suddenly felt that his chest was a lot more relaxed, and he felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

After dealing with the second elder, Chu Qianchen looked at the Shen family again, and asked Zhengse, "Mother, can I go and meet that Zhike monk?" ”
