Xu Xi rolled his eyes in his heart and saluted the lieutenant chief and the patriarch: "Uncle lieutenant, third uncle." ”

"Haha, Sister Xi, it's okay now, you have to go back to the Hou Mansion to enjoy the blessings." Li Chang Zhang Chenglin said with a smile.

Zhang Chenglin is from the next village, not from Xujia Village. He is the chief, and he can be regarded as an official person, and he will come as soon as he opens his mouth to flatter, and he doesn't have to be like Xu Chengguan, the patriarch of Xujia Village, to be self-conscious, and he is embarrassed to put down the shelf and say this kind of flattery to his former juniors.

Xu Xi understood what was going on, but his face showed a blank look and asked, "Uncle Li, how do you say this?" ”

Her gaze swept over Steward Liu, Mama Ruan and the others, and then asked, "Who are these people?" ”

Patriarch Xu Chengguan coughed and said, "Let's go into the house and say." As he spoke, he turned his head and gestured to his son Xu Mingsheng.

Xu Mingsheng understood, and after the four of them, including the lieutenant chief, the patriarch, Xu Xi, Xie and Steward Liu, entered the house, he stopped all the people watching the excitement outside, and shouted: "Everyone go back, don't gather around here and chatter, lose the face of our Xujia Village." ”

Seeing Xu Chongwen, who was also stopped outside the hall, Xu Ming said: "Brother Wen, hurry up and see where your father is and get him back." ”

"I, my father, went to the county, and I guess we won't be back until later." Xu Chongwen was a little nervous by the Hou Mansion's posture.

Xu Mingsheng frowned.

In the house, Steward Liu and the lieutenant governor pushed me to sit down in turn.

Zhang Chenglin opened his mouth and said to Xu Xi: "Sister Xi, you were originally a young lady in the second room of the Hou Mansion in Suiping, the capital, and you were hugged by mistake when you were born, and now someone from the Hou Mansion has come to pick you up and take you back to the house." ”

Xie's lips moved, and he looked at Steward Liu, and stopped talking.

Xu Xi's eyes widened, he looked at Steward Liu, and then at Zhang Chenglin, his face full of disbelief.

It took a long time for her to seem to find her voice again: "What...... Hold the wrong one? ”

Zhang Chenglin looked at Steward Liu.

Mama Ruan spoke: "Miss was born prematurely, and the second lady was worried that Miss would not be able to survive, so she took Miss and the nurse up the mountain to worship the Bodhisattva. ”

Speaking of this, she glanced meaningfully at the patriarch Xu Chengguan, then turned her head to look at Xu Xi and continued: "I was busy at the time, and then somehow, I hugged the child wrong. ”

Xu Chengguan was shocked by Mama Ruan's glance, and Xie sat on the side and saw this look, and he also felt a bad feeling in his heart.

Others have doubts in their minds.

There is a difference between a newborn child and a child who has been born for a while, and the umbilical cord is certainly different, not to mention the skin, appearance, and swaddling clothes. No matter how careless the nurse of the Hou Mansion is, can't she even tell this point? Unless it's intentional.

But why did the nurse intend to change the child?

In addition, if the wrong child is changed, even if Mrs. Xu does not know what the newborn is like for the first time; Xu Xi's mother-in-law, that is, the second lady of the Hou Mansion, can always find out afterwards, right? Why did it take more than ten years to come to the child?

Mama Ruan saw what everyone was thinking and explained: "The second lady has been in poor health since she gave birth to Miss, and Miss has always been brought by the nurse. When Mrs. Xu gave birth, the second lady got out of the car to help and suffered from the wind, and had a terrible headache, so she didn't look at the child all the way, and after going back, she asked Lang Zhong to recuperate and delayed for a while, and when she saw the child again, the child couldn't see much difference. ”

It seems that the second lady doesn't pay much attention to this child, otherwise even after a while, she won't be able to recognize her biological daughter.

Xu Chengguan and Xie Shi both lowered their eyes, very worried.

Why would the nurse hide the wrong child? Unless this matter starts at the beginning, it is Mrs. Xu who did it on purpose.

She wanted her daughter to go to the Hou Mansion to be the eldest lady, so she spent money to buy the nurse. The nurse may be greedy for money, or she may be dissatisfied with the second lady, or both, and because the second lady is not concerned about the child, she will take risks.

If not, even if Mrs. Xu didn't know who was helping her at that time, the carriage of the Hou Mansion was marked, and she could always find out the situation from passers-by and go to the Hou Mansion to chase her own daughter back, right?

The room full of people thought about it, and then Xu Xi frowned and asked, "Then how did you find out about this?" ”

Mama Ruan smiled bitterly: "The nurse was afraid that things would fail, so she quit her job and left the Hou Mansion a month later, and opened a grocery store after returning home, and her life was good." Only some time ago, her son died, and she said that her daughter-in-law Kefu couldn't grind her daughter-in-law, and her granddaughter was also abused to death by her. The daughter-in-law couldn't bear it anymore, so she went to the yamen to denounce her, and the old lady of the Hou Mansion didn't know the girl's whereabouts until this time. No, as soon as I found out the news, I sent a few of us to pick up the girl. ”

She glanced at Xie Shi meaningfully: "This kind of thing is a great sin, and the Hou Mansion didn't want to spare it, but Mrs. Xu has passed away, and the five girls who were brought into the mansion back then were deeply liked by the old lady, and the second lady was reluctant to let her come back; In addition, we found out that Mrs. Xu was not bad to Miss Xi, and several masters of the Hou Mansion discussed it and decided not to pursue the matter of the year. ”

She looked at Xu Xi: "So, today I will send Steward Liu and the old slave to pick up the girl and return home." ”

The information revealed by these words was extremely high, and the faces of the patriarch, the Xie family, and the lieutenant chief were all very ugly, but they were relieved to hear that the Hou Mansion did not pursue it.

The expression on Xu Xi's face did not change at all, he still had a light smile on his lips, and his expression was light: "Having said that, there is no problem." Just, what about the evidence? ”

Mama Ruan was stunned for a moment, inexplicable: "Evidence, what evidence?" ”

"For example, when I was wrapped in swaddling clothes, did there be a sign of the Hou Mansion; Or you can name the color and pattern of the swaddling clothes, which are the same as the colors and patterns of the swaddling clothes that I came over. ”

Xu Xi said, turning his head to look at Xie: "Auntie, do you still have my swaddling clothes when I was a child?" Or, do you remember the original colors and patterns? I heard my mother mention that when I was born, you were the one who took care of her confinement. ”

This time, the room full of people was stunned, and they couldn't go around in their minds all of a sudden, and Xie Shi was also inexplicable when he was asked by Xu Xi, looking at Xu Xi at a loss, and didn't answer her question with his mouth open.

Although Mama Ruan still didn't understand what kind of logic Xu Xi was, she still explained: "Back then, the nurse deliberately changed the wrong child, and the swaddling clothes on the girl's body were naturally prepared by Mrs. Xu, and the five girls who took them back to the house were wearing the swaddling clothes prepared by the embroidered lady of the Hou Mansion. ”

"There's no evidence." Xu Xi looked at her with innocent eyes, "If I run to your house and tell a story, and then say that the girl in your family who has grown up is my child." ”

She glanced at Xie Shi: "Do you just let the child go with others?" If you have no evidence, you will go with others for no reason, isn't it a fool? ”

She stood up: "I'm not stupid, so I'm not going to go with you." Unless you come up with evidence that I am your child. ”

After speaking, she squatted down and saluted the chief and the patriarch, turned around and walked out of the hall.
