Chapter Eighty-Five: Revealing Identity
"I'll go to my father's place first, and you can arrange it at An's place."
Second Master Mu got back to business, discussed with Mrs. Mu what to do next, and went out to find Marquis Anping.
Since Anpinghou moved out of the small courtyard, he has always lived alone, and his daily life is taken care of by the old housekeeper, and of course, Aunt Li, who comes here to serve every day.
When Second Master Mu went to the place where Anpinghou lived, he happened to see Aunt Li serving Anpinghou with tea.
"Father."
Second Master Mu saluted Anping Hou respectfully and dignifiedly.
"Huh? What are you doing here? ”
Anping Hou was very surprised, Mu Erye's attitude towards his alienation was not unclear, the last time he came to find him, it was because Mu Qingwan was unconscious, and begged him to hand over the sign to the palace in the name of Anping Hou's Mansion, but at that time, because of Aunt Li's words, he decided to ...... Thinking about it afterwards, An Pinghou regretted it very much in his heart, and missed the opportunity to mend the relationship with his second son, but he couldn't pull down his son to admit his mistake to his son.
This time Second Master Mu came over, An Pinghou was a little unnatural, and he also had some expectations.
"Father, I have something to say to you."
Seeing that Aunt Li had no intention of retreating, Second Master Mu said again.
"You go down first."
An Pinghou pushed away the tea cup that Aunt Li handed to him, waved at Aunt Li, and motioned for her to go out.
Aunt Li lowered her head and answered, then walked out, and closed the door with her, as for what she thought in her heart, no one knew.
"What's the matter with you coming here?"
"For an old thing."
Second Master Mu thought about the wording for a while, and then said what he knew.
"What? You, you say it again. ”
An Pinghou clutched his chest and asked in shock.
"The eldest brother is not your son, it was Mama Zhao who secretly transferred the package and replaced it with her own child. It's just that now is not the time to talk about this, Mama Zhao will be able to do Gu arts, this matter is not trivial, if it is not handled well, the Anping Marquis Mansion will be a disaster. ”
Second Master Mu emphasized the seriousness of the matter to An Pinghou, which made An Pinghou pull back from the shock of raising a cheap son.
"This matter, this matter must be reported to the emperor."
An Pinghou himself didn't do anything, and now he is also panicking, and he doesn't know what to do.
"Father, no, if you report it rashly, the horror will cause a lot of trouble, after all, Mama Zhao has been under our noses for decades. For this time is the destruction of corpses. I don't dare to let my father worry about this kind of thing, but my father can rest assured that this matter will be handed over to his son, and he will definitely handle it properly. It's just that my father still has to act as unaware, don't mention it to anyone again, Mama Zhao has been in the house for so many years, it is inevitable that there is no comrade? Just in case, even Aunt Li asked her father not to tell her. ”
The reason why Mu Erye came to find An Pinghou was that he was afraid that An Pinghou would drag his feet, after all, once An Pinghou was not sober, he might be in trouble.
After getting the assurance of An Pinghou, Second Master Mu retreated, and as soon as he got out of the house, he saw Aunt Li standing in the courtyard at a distance from the door and waiting.
Second Master Mu looked at Aunt Li who was standing with her head down, and her heart was very complicated. When Mu Erye was born, his biological mother died, and Mu Erye never saw his biological mother Li. I heard the old man in the house mention that Aunt Li's appearance is seven or eight points similar to the Li family, and Second Master Mu doesn't know what to say about this nominal aunt.
When I was a child, I often saw Aunt Li in a daze at herself, she was similar to her third brother in age, and she looked very similar, and people who didn't know thought that the two were twins. When she was very young, Mu Erye knew that although An was used to spoiling herself, she actually didn't like herself, and she was also very envious of the third brother who looked very similar to herself, and had a mother like Aunt Li. When he was very young, he was ignorant, and even secretly wanted to exchange his mother's relationship with his third brother...... When Second Master Mu just knew that he was not An's own son, he once thought that Aunt Li might be his biological mother, but he didn't expect the truth to be so embarrassing.
It's just some old things, Second Master Mu doesn't have too many ideas now, and he has his own home, a wife and children.
Aunt Li stood with her head down, as if she had let go of everything. Second Master Mu didn't stop and left the courtyard of Anping Hou. It was only after his figure disappeared for a long time that Aunt Li raised her head, looked at the direction he left, and turned around and entered the house in half a ring.
After a few days, An's heard someone say that Mama Zhao ridiculed him, and he coaxed himself into a circle, and his own son and granddaughter were closer to Mama Zhao than himself.
After hearing this, An Shi came back to his senses and thought about it, isn't that the case? On weekdays, Uncle Mu comes to discuss something with him, but won't he still ask Mama Zhao's opinion? Even Mu Qingyin's nurturing grandma who participated in the draft was invited by Mama Rong after listening to Mama Zhao's words...... The list goes on.
When Ahn came to his senses, he was furious. directly let people take Mama Zhao, and let people hit thirty boards on the spot, and then locked them in the firewood room.
All this happened suddenly, An's temperament was tyrannical, and after knowing that Mama Zhao betrayed her, she did it directly, but poor Mama Zhao didn't have any preparations, and she didn't know what happened, so she ate thirty boards.
Mrs. Mu took advantage of An's point to sow discord and let them eat dogs.
"Put her in the firewood room, no one is allowed to deliver food, and her room, give me a good search!"
Thinking of what someone said, Mama Zhao was greedy for her own silver, and An Shi hated it so much that she had a toothache.
When the people searched Mama Zhao's house, Mu Qingwan took away the Rubik's Cube hidden in the bed board by Mama Zhao in advance, and successfully took out the parchment and metal plate inside.
"Ahh
A maid who searched Mama Zhao's house screamed, just because she saw a lot of small wooden jars in a box, and opened one out of curiosity, but it turned out that it was actually a big spider, so frightened that the little girl's face turned white, and she threw the jar directly into the box and closed the lid of the box.
"What are you all about, what's wrong with you?"
It was a mother-in-law who spoke, and it was also the person who Mrs. Mu had planted in An's courtyard.
"Mama, yes, it's a spider."
Because Mrs. Mu had explained in advance, the mother-in-law did what Mrs. Mu instructed.
"What are you afraid of, come and carry a few people out together. This kind of dirty thing, drizzled with oil, burned cleanly, everyone else also looked carefully, searched for any strange things, and said it. ”
The box containing all kinds of Gu worms was just like this taken to the yard, poured oil on it, and burned it, and a strong fishy smell emanated from the air. The people who searched the house, after smelling the smell, all felt a wave of nausea and retching.
A lot of things were found in Mama Zhao's house, about 30,000 taels of silver tickets, as well as clothes or semi-finished products that had been sewn, including adult men, girls, and children. Everyone who saw it pouted and laughed at Mama Zhao for being unashamed, and Mama Zhao secretly sewed the clothes for Uncle Mu, which was misunderstood as being made for her lover.
After An saw the money, she cursed Mama Zhao again, and as for the fact that the money was far more than her own family, she selectively ignored it.
