Chapter 377: The Daughter of the Elder Monarch
Mo Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, got up and said, "Thank you, father!" The daughter-in-law still has something to explain to her father. β
"What else?"
"Father Rongyu, this time I was able to find out the identity of Shao Niang and capture her, completely relying on the secret help of my eldest brother."
"You mean Qi'er?" Murong Jingzhong didn't expect Mo Li to call Murong Qi eldest brother and plead for him, and he was very puzzled in his heart.
Mo Li nodded: "Exactly." Long before the husband left Beijing, the eldest brother told the husband what he knew. A few days ago, the people sent out by the daughter-in-law found that Mama Gong had gone to the small courtyard, and after investigation, they only found that a woman and a dumb mother-in-law lived there. The background of the two is unknown. Later, after being prompted by the eldest brother, I guessed whether the two were related to the woman who lived in the backyard of the Lu Mansion back then. Following this line, it was finally found out that the dumb mother-in-law was disguised by Shao Niang, and the woman was just an ornament used by Shao Niang to hide people's eyes. If there was no eldest brother, the testimony in the file would not have been obtained. Therefore, I beg my father not to be angry with my eldest brother. β
"You...... Don't hate him? He's ...... Son of the Lu family. Murong Jingzhong looked at Mo Li, what this girl said and did was always unexpected.
"Why do you hate Big Brother? He didn't do anything wrong. Mo Li smiled and said helplessly, "Actually, the eldest brother is pitiful enough." Although he had been acting calm, he must have been sad in his heart. β
There is such an unbearable mother, and she was born by design. Although the Lu family loves her only son very much, who can say clearly whether this son is her closest flesh and blood, or a weight to stand up and compete for favor?
Murong Jingzhong looked at Mo Li silently for a while, and suddenly hooked his lips and smiled.
"I didn't expect Jinxi to be not only thoughtful and smart, but also so open-minded. If you are ......a man, alas, thanks to the fact that you are a woman, Chu'er is also a blessed person. β
"The father praised falsely, and the daughter-in-law was terrified." Mo Li smiled slyly, "Father is a wise and powerful man, and he is very intelligent. β
"Hmph, don't tout this king anymore. If this king is wise, he will not be deceived for more than 20 years. Murong Jingzhong's face showed a slight gloom.
Then he sighed lightly and said, "Is there anything else?" If not, go back and rest. β
Mo Li blessed her body: "The daughter-in-law obeys her father's order!" β
"Recuperate, and leave the rest to your father."
The voice of this sentence was not high, but it was enough for Mo Li, who had already walked to the door, to hear it clearly, Murong Jingzhong did not call himself "this king", but said "father".
She looked back and smiled, "Thank you, father!" β
At this time, Murong Jingzhong was more like an ordinary father, with a bit of love in his eyes, and nodded at her.

Ruoping came out of the palace dungeon, and the afternoon sun shone on his face, a little dazzling. She unconsciously raised her hand to touch her left shoulder, and Shao Niang asked her if there was a fiery red flower on her shoulder, and she did not answer.
There is indeed a flower embroidered on her left shoulder blade, an inch in size, bright red as fire, and the color is still bright after many years. She didn't know the origin of this flower, but she had a memory, and this flower was there. She didn't know its name, Rao had traveled many places, and she had never seen this kind of flower.
This pattern is on the shoulder blades, and it is also a hidden position for girls, except for her younger brother Amin, no one knows.
Shao Niang asked her if she had a younger brother, and she said that the child should have had one such flower, but before she could embroider it, she suffered an accident.
Shao Niang asked her a lot of questions, but she didn't answer a word. Shao Niang said: "You can check it yourself to know if what I said is true." β
Ruoping left the dungeon without saying a word, she didn't know if she should believe Shao Niang, and if the identities of her and her brother were verified, what should they do? Looking for a distant and strange place to recognize your ancestors? Or do you want to move on with your present life?
"Miss Ruoping, you ......" The Xiang steward who had been following her stopped talking.
"Xiangguan should go and get busy beforehand, don't worry about me." Ruoping tugged at the corner of his lips.
Steward Xiang stood beside her for a while before he said, "Everything has a fixed number, since you can't avoid it, why not face it calmly?" Woe and blessing rely on, blessing and misfortune lurk, what can be a blessing or a curse? β
Ruo looked at Steward Xiang calmly, and suddenly smiled: "Thank you Steward Xiang!" After that, he traveled all the way out of the Bac Ninh Palace.
Two quarters of an hour later, Ruoping was already sitting in the house behind the Beijing branch of the Zhen'an Dart Bureau: "I saw Shao Niang just now. β
Yu Mingxi didn't seem surprised, hugged her shoulders and asked, "What did she say?" β
"She said that my mother was a nobleman who was hunted down and killed incognito when she was a child, and when she grew up, she married a Han man and gave birth to our sister and brother. When my brother was not yet one year old, something happened in the family, my mother died, and my brother and I were gone. She didn't dare to look for it openly, so she could only secretly investigate, and finally heard that we were taken in by a prince in the capital, so she stayed in the capital just to find us. β
After Ruoping finished speaking, Yu Mingxi touched his chin and said, "The nobleman of Qijiao? As far as I know, there was indeed a coup d'Γ©tat more than 30 years ago. At that time, the entire monarch's family died under the butcher's knife, and only his youngest daughter was missing. No one knows whether she is dead or has escaped, in short, she is alive and dead. The rebels sent people to track down, but to no avail. Later, the younger brother of the king came from his own tribe, exterminated the rebels, and was proclaimed a new generation of king. β
"Shao Niang has been hiding in the Lu Mansion before. The king of Jin rebelled, the Lu family was implicated by the Xiao family, and the master of the house was beheaded and exiled. Those who could escape and those who couldn't escape were re-sold, and it was at that time that Shao Niang found the Lu family. As for when she arrived at the Lu Mansion ......, since Murong Qi was born to the Lu family, she and the Lu family should have known each other for at least nearly thirty years. So, is your mother the youngest daughter of that sovereign? But what evidence does she have that your brother and sister are the ones she is looking for? β
Ruoping bit his lip, hesitated for a moment and said, "She said that I have a tulip flower on my shoulder. β
"What? Turnips? Do you have one? β
Ruoping frowned, nodded and said, "I do have a flower on my shoulder, it's just ...... I don't know if that's it, I've never seen a real tulip flower. β
"You let me see, I went to Qijiao with my father back then, can I see if I can see it at a glance." Yu Mingxi said and reached out to pull Ruoping's collar.
"What do you do?" Ruoping hurriedly dodged to the side, his two hands protecting the collar of the placket, and his face was crimson.
Only then did Yu Mingxi realize how inappropriate his behavior was just now, and his ears immediately turned red.
