Chapter 207: The Mystery of Origin
Not far from Qingfeng Hall, Jing Yan stood there with a gloomy face and was silent for a long time!
It turned out that Xia was not her biological mother! His little fish turned out to be an abandoned baby!
Looking at Chu Peijin's somewhat lonely back, Jing Yan couldn't wait to immediately run to her and hold her in his arms to comfort her! But now, he can't show up!
As soon as he mentioned his biological mother, a storm instantly blew through Jing Yan's obsidian-like eyes! His little fish is so good, which one wants to throw her away?? However, when a woman's face flashed in his mind, the killing intent slowly dissipated into nothingness!
Over there, as soon as the old lady mentioned divorce from her wife, Xia's face turned pale, and she raised her eyes to look at the old lady in disbelief!
"Mother, the daughter-in-law just took an abandoned baby back and raised it, even if she is guilty of deception, it shouldn't be to the point of being abandoned, right?"
The old lady looked at her coldly: "What you said is right, it is not to the point of being abandoned." However, it is a sure thing for you to confuse the bloodline of my Wu'an Houfu, you can tell me yourself, what should you do according to the clan rules? ”
Xia's body was so weak that he almost fell to the ground!
According to the family rules of the Chu family, if the person who confuses the family bloodline is the main mother, he will be locked up in the Buddha Hall for the rest of his life, and if he is a concubine and aunt, he will sink into the pond or be beaten to death with a stick!
Seeing her like that, the old lady sneered disdainfully, and said, "You should be glad that Jin Yatou is only a daughter, if it is a boy...... Xia, you should know the consequences!! ”
Xia's body trembled, and he lowered his head, looking dejected!
She suddenly regretted it! I was so impulsive today that I turned things into the unmanageable situation I am in! If you wait, wait for a more suitable opportunity...... That's it!
The old lady looked at her like that, and she couldn't bear it in her heart! After all, the Xia family didn't do anything unfavorable to Houfu after getting married, except for today's incident!
"Tell me, what happened at the border back then?" The old lady asked.
That year, her eldest son was sent to the border by the emperor not long after he got married, and the old lady felt sorry for her son and her newly married daughter-in-law, so she made the decision to let her accompany her son to the post! By the time the three-year term expires, the couple will come back, and they will already have a one-year-old eldest daughter!
Chu Peijin was cute when she was young, and the old lady liked her very much, but she ...... later
The old lady thought that Chu Peijin had been sick from time to time since she was married to the third prince by the emperor, and now she thinks about it, where is she sick!!
Thinking of this, the old lady once again felt chilled for Xia's ruthlessness!
Xia didn't notice the old lady's expression, Xu felt a little cold on the ground, she beckoned Mama Hu to come over, picked up Chu Peixuan and put her on a chair, she herself slowly stood up, walked to the old lady with her shoulders drooped, and knelt down again.
"Mother, the daughter-in-law was indeed pregnant in October and gave birth to a daughter, when the grandfather was still out fighting, because of fear, the child was born with some weakness. My daughter-in-law was worried that her grandmother would not take good care of her, so she was given birth and put her by my side to take care of her. It's also the daughter-in-law's ignorance......" Speaking of this, Xia Shi seemed to think of something sad, and he hung his head and cried, and after a while, he gradually stopped and continued: "The daughter-in-law has just given birth, and she has been taking care of her for several days in a row, physically and mentally exhausted, because she has just completed ten days, because she has just slept too dead, and her arm accidentally pressed her...... Whining...... O my poor daughter...... She didn't even have time to make a sound...... Go...... Went to ...... Whining...... I'm not a good mother! I'm damned!! ”
Xia couldn't cry in the end!
The old lady glared at her in surprise!
She thought about it for so long, but she never thought it would be like this!!
Mama Qin was also so surprised that she almost couldn't close her mouth!
It would be impossible to say that this kind of thing has not happened in this world, but a famous family with status and status like them usually has at least four grandmothers, in order to worry that one person's limited energy will not be able to take care of children. So, apart from what the eldest lady said, she really hadn't heard of anything happening in Kyoto!
Mama Qin sighed secretly and shook her head slightly.
After digesting the news, the old lady shook her head and sighed: "Since the matter has happened, it is not your intention, isn't it okay if you say it?" In the future, when the body is well raised, it can be reborn, so why do you have to go outside and pick one up? ”
Xia finally stopped crying, and when she heard the old lady ask, her tears couldn't help falling again!
"Mother Rongyu, after giving birth to a daughter that day, the daughter-in-law sent the news to Hou Ye, Hou Ye was overjoyed to repel a wave of enemy attacks, he sent a message back and said that the eldest daughter is his lucky star, and when he comes back, he will organize his daughter's full moon banquet! Who knows......" Xia cried, "The daughter is gone, and the daughter-in-law washes her face with tears all day long, regretting that she shouldn't insist on bringing it herself, and on the other hand, she thinks about not knowing how to explain to the grandfather...... Later......"
Xia raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Peijin, who was standing there not far away and looked down and didn't know what to think, moved his lips, and finally continued: "Later, Yahuan Chunyan saw that her daughter-in-law was really sad, so she went to a temple at the border to pray for her daughter-in-law, who would have thought that after she went in, she found a red swaddling cloth under the shrine, Chunyan stepped forward to see that it was a little baby, she was overjoyed, thinking that it was the Bodhisattva who appeared, so she quietly went back to the house with the little baby and handed it to her daughter-in-law. ”
"My daughter-in-law has been immersed in the grief of losing her daughter, because when she saw the little baby, she thought that my miserable child had returned...... So......" Xia bit his lip tightly, looking at the old lady with red and swollen eyes, "Mother, can you understand the mood of your daughter-in-law at that time?" At that time, the daughter-in-law was really ...... There's no way!! ”
Chu Peijin heard this quietly, and when she looked at Xia's gaze again, she couldn't help but flash a complicated color!
The old lady let out a long sigh and was speechless for a long time.
She is also a woman, and she has also given birth to several sons and daughters, how can she not know the heart-wrenching pain of losing her flesh and bones?
"Get up and speak!"
The old lady's heart finally softened, and Xia's gaze was not as sharp as before.
"Then do you know the background of Jin Yatou? Why is she in that temple? ”
Xia's eyes flashed slightly, and she subconsciously glanced at Chu Peijin, but she quickly turned away, she reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and shook her head gently, "My daughter-in-law doesn't know!" ”
Chu Peijin suddenly asked, "What about the swaddling clothes that held me back then?" ”
Xia Shi glanced at her lightly, and said in a light tone: "It's burned!" In order to hide from the master, when I brought you back, all the things in the swaddling clothes, including the swaddling clothes, were burned down! ”
Chu Peijin's heart sank, and a cold feeling encompassed her whole body in an instant!
