Chapter 225: Confess
On the same day, Wu'an Houfu was lively as if it was the New Year, and Wu'an Hou hurried into the palace after having a reunion dinner.
Chu Peijin reduced her sense of existence to a minimum, Chu Peixuan saw her acquaintance, but she didn't embarrass her anymore, and for a while, the waiting house was calm and quiet.
The next day, Chu Peijin had just finished breakfast, and Cuizhi rushed in in a hurry.
"Girl, girl, no! Oh no! Something is wrong! β
Chu Peijin's heart moved, and she raised her eyes to look at her: "What's wrong?" β
Cuizhi looked anxious, and spoke with a little trill: "Outside, outside it is rumored that you are not Wu Anhou's biological daughter, but Mrs. Wu Anhou picked it up from outside and raised it as her own daughter, and I also heard that Houfu scattered two carts of copper coins in the place with the most beggars in the west of the city, in order to take care of those who are homeless, that situation actually attracted all the beggars in Kyoto to that side......"
The corners of Chu Peijin's lips curved slightly, and said, "Isn't that good!" Let's wait for the house to do good deeds, those beggars are not afraid of not having food this winter! β
Cuizhi glared, "Girl, do you understand where the point is!" β
"Understood!" Chu Peijin smiled lightly, "How could you not understand!" Isn't it just the fact that I am not Wu Anhou's biological daughter! "That's exactly what she wants!
Cuizhi stomped his feet, with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel!
Almost all of Kyoto today is covered by this news!
As soon as Wu Anhou came down to the court, a minister who liked gossip approached him mysteriously and said, "Master Hou, your mansion is really a good family, and the lower officials are really ashamed of themselves." β
"That's right, to be able to raise an abandoned baby as a biological daughter under your knees, ordinary people can't do it, Master Hou, your heart is really too broad, too great!"
Wu Anhou: "......"
What are they talking about? Why didn't he understand a word?
"Ministers, what are you talking about?"
"Ouch! Master Hou, don't pretend to be stupid, now that everyone in Kyoto knows, even if you want to be low-key, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep a low profile! β
"That's it, Master Hou, you go out on the street to listen, hey, it's all about the deeds of your house!"
Wu Anhou's heart was full of doubts, he only felt that something must have happened in the mansion that he didn't know, so he hurriedly arched his hand towards the ministers and hurriedly walked out of the palace gate.
"Junko, what's going on in the house lately?"
It happened to be Wang Shun who drove the car for Hou Ye today, and when he heard this, the whole person shuddered, and then his eyes flashed.
"That, Master Hou, you ...... Go back and ask the eldest lady and you'll understand everything! β
Xia's?
Wu Anhou pondered carefully, and when he returned home yesterday, he saw that Xia's face seemed a little haggard, but he heard that Xia's had an illness, so he didn't think about it. Could it be that Xia has done some good deeds?
"You kid, you just tell the truth when Master Hou asks you, what are you doing?" The guards who had been following Wu Anhou glanced at Wang Shun.
Wang Shun's face turned pale, and he glanced at Wu Anhou in fear, but just happened to see Hou Ye looking at him coldly, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said urgently: "Hou Ye doesn't blame the little one, the little one will tell the truth!" β
"Say!"
Wang Shun hurriedly said: "Two days ago, the second girl and the third girl were born, and the little one heard that an assassin suddenly appeared at the banquet, and then ......" Wang Shun's eyes flashed, and he hesitated to tell the truth, and the guard couldn't help but raise his foot and kick his ass when he saw that he was still like this, Wang Shun had to bite the bullet and said: "The little one heard that the assassin rushed to the eldest lady at that time, and the eldest lady protected the second girl behind her but pushed the eldest girl out...... Later, there were rumors that the eldest lady herself admitted that the eldest girl was not born to the lady......"
"What??"
Wu An was taken aback!
How is thisβhow is this possible?
"That's nonsense!"
Wang Shun saw that since the matter had already been said by his mouth, he simply poured beans into the bamboo tube - all said!
"Early this morning, I heard a rumor in the street, saying that it was ...... It is said that the place with the most beggars in the west of the city scattered two large carts of copper plates, and I heard that our Houfu is to take care of those poor people who are homeless...... He also said that the eldest girl who was not born to the grandfather regarded it as her own, which was really ...... What a good man......"
Wu Anhou's face suddenly turned black as the bottom of a pot!
His eldest daughter was obviously born to the Xia family when he was at the border gate, and it was impossible for him to be wrong when he was pregnant in October, why is there a rumor that Jin'er is not his biological daughter now? Why didn't Xia come out to clarify?
"Home!!"
Wu Anhou remembered the strange eyes of the ministers in the palace before, and his heart was even more unhappy! In any case, he must figure this matter out!
Wang Shun drove the carriage and picked the nearest way to return to the house smoothly, and Wu Anhou was also fortunate to listen to the rumors outside in the carriage.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, he didn't have time to say goodbye to the old lady and went straight to Xia's neon courtyard.
Xia was crooked on the couch at this moment and called the housekeeper to deal with the affairs of the house! Since she returned home yesterday, she forcibly took over the affairs of the inner courtyard again. Whether it was arranging the Bai family or something else, she had no way to lose control of the Hou Mansion and be indifferent!
It had been stopped for a few days because of the charcoal matter before, and now she finally made up her mind to let the housekeeper go to Xiao's Charcoal Store to buy charcoal.
She had just sent her mother-in-law away, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Wu Anhou striding in.
A smile appeared on Xia's face, and he struggled to get up to salute, but was stopped by Wu Anhou!
"You don't have to get up, you're not well, just lie down, and I'll ask you a few words."
Xia's heart jumped, and he was faintly a little uneasy, but he still got up softly and put a pillow behind her to help her lean.
"Master Hou, please sit down and speak!"
Wu Anhou frowned, looked at Xia's calm expression, hesitated for a moment, and then sat down on the chair next to him.
Mama Hu hurriedly poured a cup of tea and put it in Wu Anhou's hand, and then waved her hand to send the following maid rings away, leaving her alone to wait.
"What does Master Hou want to ask?"
"Why is it rumored that the girl is not your own?"
Xia lowered her head and pursed the corners of her lips, what should come is still coming after all, maybe saying it is also a relief for her?
"Do you believe it?"
Wu Anhou frowned, "I just want to hear from you personally." β
The doubts in his heart are too big, but he is not a reckless person, so he has enough patience to grind with Xia.
The Xia family should naturally understand Wu Anhou's character, so she gently closed her eyes and nodded towards Wu Anhou, and said, "Since Master Hou wants to listen, the concubine has no choice but to tell the truth!" Jin girl, she ...... It is indeed not born of a concubine! β
