Chapter 35

Everyone was shocked.

Lin Boqin glanced at Su Mei, took out a confession, and said his inference: "On the day of Zhu's dystocia, the child should indeed die." Soon after, Su Mei became pregnant, and according to the confession recorded by Hong Po, she clearly heard Su Mei and her husband arguing at that time, and Su Mei's husband even beat up Su Mei who was about to give birth, and called her a 'chicken that can't lay eggs'. It stands to reason that Su Mei is pregnant, and her husband will never scold this sentence if he wants to scold, and this sentence should not be scolded, her husband scolded, which shows a problem. ”

Li Zhongyi reacted very quickly, and he hurriedly said: "Su Mei is not pregnant!" She's pretending! ”

"Regardless of whether Su Mei is really pregnant or fake, the result is one, she did not give birth to a child." Lin Boqin's right index finger tapped on the table, his face expressionless, "Su Mei is good friends with the Zhu family and knows all the secrets of the Zhu family, including the fact that the Zhu family often secretly helps her half-sister. This sister was married to the Zhao family at that time and had a son, Su Mei was unwilling, she thought of Sister Zhu's baby, she was afraid to steal or rob, take Sister Zhu's baby for herself, and even convinced herself that the baby stolen was her own. and named Su Yu, and has always been by his side. ”

This inference is bold but reasonable.

But Su Mei didn't admit it.

She suddenly raised her head and retorted sharply to Lin Boqin: "My lord! This is all your speculation, why did you use your fabrication to separate Yu'er from my mother and son! ”

At this moment, the official outside the door came to report, and after Gu Jingtong heard it, he walked up to Lin Boqin, bent down and whispered: "The crazy woman's ex-husband Zhao Jie died of illness, and it was Zhao Jie's father who came." ”

Lin Boqin said: "Let him go to court." ”

He looked at Su Mei and said lightly: "Since you think it's the official's guess, it's better to listen to what others have to say." ”

A short time later, an old man dressed as a peasant came to the court.

"Grass people Zhao Da, see the county master." Zhao Da knelt down and bowed to Lin Boqin.

He turned his head to look, and happened to see the crazy old woman being escorted next to him, and was immediately shocked: "Ah, isn't this Liang Xiuyun!?" He was stupid, and he thought that he was in trouble because of this former daughter-in-law, so he clasped his hands together and kowtowed and shouted: "Wronged, my lord, this Liang Xiuyun has been crazy for many years, and her murder and arson have nothing to do with the grass people's family!" Ten years ago, my son gave her a divorce, adult Mingjian, adult Mingjian! ”

Lin Boqin's expression was cold: "Quiet." I just want to ask you one thing. ”

Zhao Da said: "My lord, please ask, the grass people must know everything!" ”

"Liang Xiuyun married into your Zhao family back then, why did she suddenly go crazy overnight?"

Zhao Da let out a "uh", looking a little embarrassed.

Lin Boqin's voice increased: "Above the court, you should still hide and not report?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the grass people don't dare to eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall! It's just that the ugliness of the family can't be publicized, for so many years, no one in the grass family has said anything......" Zhao Da looked around the court, there were people everywhere, and bowed his head helplessly, "Liang Xiuyun is a good daughter-in-law, but she ...... She can't even look at her own children! Pity my Zhao family is the only one who gave birth to such a son, she actually lost it, county master, do you say this is angry? ”

"How did you lose it?"

"Someone stole it."

Zhao Da was very impressed by the scene back then, and he recalled: "That night, Liang Xiuyun was coaxing the child to sleep, and suddenly the dog barked fiercely outside, so she went out to check. As a result, when I returned to the house, the window was wide open, and the child was gone. Our family searched everywhere, but we couldn't find anything, and looking for a baby in the vast sea of people was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. Liang Xiuyun couldn't look at the child, our family was naturally angry, my son and my wife scolded her all night, and the next day she went out to continue looking, Liang Xiuyun only cried and cried. When we got home again, we heard that she was insane and insane...... So my son divorced her. ”

Lin Boqin's face was serious, and his eyes were cold: "Liang Xiuyun has no father or mother, and she has no friends and relatives in Qingyuan County, so you drove her out of the house as a weak woman?" ”

Zhao Da was a little embarrassed, he spread his hands, and said: "Then my Zhao family wants to pass on the ancestry, and it is impossible to find a crazy woman." ”

"Ridiculous." Lin Boqin didn't want to look at Zhao Da with his head sideways.

He looked at Su Mei, who was already dripping with sweat, and asked, "Su Mei, does this person who stole Liang Xiuyun's child need to be told by this official?" ”

Su Mei gathered a small pool of water stains in front of her, and she didn't know whether it was sweat or tears.

Lin Boqin said in a stern voice: "Have you ever thought that Liang Xiuyun lost his beloved son, his flesh and blood were separated, and his fate for the rest of his life was so tragic? She has been in the prime of her life, and now she has become a mad woman, all thanks to you. You can't have children yourself, so why do you have to destroy other people's families? ”

"I gave birth to a child!" Su Mei suddenly raised her head and retorted, she burst into tears, "I was born!" More than ten years ago, I gave birth to a boy! But he's dead! He was born without air...... Later, no matter how much medicine I took and how many Buddhas I prayed for, I couldn't conceive anymore. ”

Her tone was extremely sad: "I can't give birth to children, my husband and mother-in-law beat and scolded me every day. In the cold winter, I was asked to wash my family's clothes and bedding, and the river was biting cold...... It's so cold that I can remember it now. I get up early every day and go to bed at the latest, and only when I talk to Zhu Xiujun for a while, I am a little happy. When she became pregnant, I rarely went to her, and I felt uncomfortable because I couldn't conceive anyway. The harsh criticism of my family became more and more severe, and there was no way for me to stuff cotton into my clothes and pretend that I was pregnant. Those nine months were terrifying, but they were the best time I've ever had...... My husband took good care of me, and my mother-in-law didn't let me do housework, and I occasionally cooked chicken soup to drink......"

Lin Boqin was compassionate.

He said, "Hong Po heard you and your husband arguing that night, presumably because he knew the truth. ”

"Yes." Su Mei did not deny, "No matter how long you are pregnant, you can't be pregnant for a lifetime." When the time came, I knew that I couldn't hide it, so I confessed to my husband...... He was furious and punched and kicked me. Soon after, my husband died of illness, and my mother-in-law went to live with her second son. I am alone in Qingyuan County, and the more lonely I feel, the more I ...... stole Liang Xiuyun's child. ”

Speaking of this, she glanced at Liang Xiuyun apologetically.

Although Liang Xiuyun was already crazy, she seemed to understand her words, and there was a layer of mist in her crazy eyes.

Su Yu listened to all this in disbelief.

He stared at his feet and asked aloud, "But...... But your toes are deformed, too! Your little toes, just like me! ”

"Yu'er! That's because you inherited the Zhu family, and your toes are deformed, and I don't want people to see the clues! Su Mei said forbearantly, "My left little toe was broken with a stone with my own hands!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

Li Zhongyi was shocked: "You can do it?" ”

Su Mei smiled self-deprecatingly: "Is this also a good hand?" I was going to break my toes, but it hurt too much for me to bear. Otherwise, how could you be suspected and dragged to this court? ”

Although Li Zhongyi sympathized with her experience, he hated her for killing his wife and aunt's tragic fate, and he said complicatedly: "You have done your own evil. ”

"Yes, I did it myself." Su Mei choked and burst into tears.

Li Zhongyi couldn't bear it, and bowed his hand to Lin Boqin: "My lord, the truth has been ascertained, although Su Yu is not my child, he is also my own nephew." As for Samui...... After ten years, the grass people don't want to pursue her. ”

When Zhao Da heard this, he suddenly raised his voice and said, "If you don't pursue it, I will pursue it!" This woman stole my own grandson, and if she is locked up for ten years or eight years, she will have to pay me a hundred taels of silver! He turned his head to look at Su Yu, "And you...... Call, what's it called, follow grandpa home, grandpa will take you to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors! ”

Su Yu was shocked, he shrank beside Su Mei and Li Zhongyi: "I don't want to go with you!" You...... You drove my mother away and made her suffer, I won't recognize you! After speaking, he stood up and ran to Liang Xiuyun's side, hugging her waist, "Mother, I'll follow you!" ”

He moved too fast, and Yang La and Hu Yu couldn't stop him, for fear that Liang Xiuyun would suddenly go crazy and hurt him.

However, Liang Xiuyun was just stunned.

She stared at Su Yu in front of her with her eyes, tears streaming down her eyes, she suddenly opened her mouth, and spit out a few words intermittently: "I...... It's mine...... Kid ......"

Maybe it was the mother-son connection, Su Yu couldn't help crying when she thought of the suffering she had suffered for many years. He held Liang Xiuyun's old and thin hand, stuck it on his face, and burst into tears: "Mother, it's me." ”

Liang Xiuyun touched Su Yu's warm tears, as if she was electrocuted, and her body was stunned.

Her eyes lit up slightly, and she suddenly held Su Yu's little hand, and sobbed: "Child...... My baby! Mother looking for you to find ...... It's so bitter, so bitter! ”

For so many years, she seems to have been gouged out of her heart, and now that the child is back, her heart is back. Even though she was still not sane, she knew that her child had been found! He didn't die, he didn't get sick, and she wasn't a lonely soul wandering the world anymore!

The mother and son hugged their heads and cried, and when others saw it, they couldn't help but raise their sleeves to wipe their tears.

The same is true for Samui.

She looked at the picture of the mother and son getting together, and showed a relieved smile: "It's so good." After carrying so many years of secrets and guilt, at this moment, she suddenly felt relaxed.

Not your own, never be.

You can't force it.

Su Yu wiped her tears, comforted Liang Xiuyun for a while, and looked at Lin Boqin and knelt down.

Liang Xiuyun didn't know what her son was doing, but she also knelt on the ground in a panic, although she was still crazy, she finally didn't go crazy and hurt people.

Su Yu looked at Su Mei, and her voice was crying: "Lord Lin, can you let my mother go...... Samui a horse? Although she caused me to separate from my mother, in the past ten years, she has loved me very much, several times when I was seriously ill, Su Meiyi took care of me, and once even did not close my eyes for three days and three nights...... I can't forget her kindness to me! ”

After speaking, Su Yu was in tears and kowtowed heavily to Su Mei.
