The sudden slap made everyone on the side blink their eyes in unison, thinking that they were dazzled.

It would not be unusual for that slap to hit someone else's face, but it hit Ye Qinglin and Ziyu in the face.

Look at the entire Ye Mansion, look at the entire Ningyang City, and then look out...... Who would dare to slap these two sons?

The two guards immediately aimed their crossbows at the bold man, and one of the guards drew his sword and put it on the man's neck.

Ye Qinglin looked up along the guard's knife, and the person who slapped him and Ziyu was a mother-in-law, an old woman with white hair.

Isn't this the white-haired mother-in-law who called over to take care of Xiaoyu from the small courtyard on North Street?

"You are a dead old woman, you dare to beat the eldest son, you have eaten the gall of a leopard, are you looking for death?" The guard with the knife scolded at the mother-in-law.

Ye Qinglin and Ziyu both looked at it in a daze.

The white-haired mother-in-law couldn't speak, her lips trembled, she burst into tears, opened the guard's hand holding the knife, squatted down to help Hua Wai, who had fainted to the ground, pulled her arm and put it on her shoulder, and carried her back to the house in the main courtyard.

The guards surrounded and watched the white-haired mother-in-law help Hua Cry away, all waiting for Ye Qinglin's order to turn out the mother-in-law, but Ye Qinglin's eyes widened, staring at the mother-in-law who was staggering and helping Hua Cry to turn the porch.

Ye Qinglin rushed over and took Hua Cry from the white-haired mother-in-law's hand, and his eyes never left the white-haired mother-in-law for a moment.

Ziyu also followed.

Carried Hua Wei into the room, and then came out of the hall, where the white-haired mother-in-law and Ziyu were there.

The guards followed the main courtyard, but they did not dare to enter the courtyard.

Ye Qinglin closed the door of the hall, turned around and stared at his mother-in-law, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?" ”

After asking Fang Jue, this mother-in-law can't speak.

Ziyu glanced at Ye Qinglin, did not speak, and turned to look at the white-haired mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law wiped away her tears, went to the bookcase, trembled her hands and began to study the ink, very carefully researched, spread out the rice paper, picked up the pen and began to write something, the old hand was still shaking.

After writing it quickly, the mother-in-law picked up the paper and faced Ye Qinglin and Ziyu, there were only three words on it, but it made the hearts of the two of them tremble.

The big three words on it are: Zhen Xueer.

The white-haired mother-in-law is Zhen Xue'er!

Is it their mother?

Isn't the early years gone?

The year she was killed by Zhen Rou'er, Ye Qinglin was only seven years old, Ziyu was only five years old, in the past twenty years, the appearance of people has changed too much, and the memory of childhood has been blurred, Ye Qinglin can't believe it at all, Ziyu was younger at that time, let alone self.

But if she wasn't their mother, how would she know the name Zhen Xue'er?

At that time, Mrs. Zhen of the Xuanyang Marquis Mansion died too early, and even the old housekeepers in the mansion had changed several times, and no one knew Mrs. Zhen's name at all.

Mrs. Zhen walked over slowly, raised her hand, and slowly stroked Ye Qinglin's cheek, which was the place where she had just been beaten, tears rolled down her eyes, and she turned her head and took Ziyu's hand with the other hand, put his hand on Ye Qinglin's palm, and held it tightly for them.

If it weren't for their mother, who would feel so sorry for them?

If it weren't for their mother, who would dare to beat them like that?

"Are you a mother? Are you really a mother? Ye Qinglin's eyes were red in an instant, warm and full of eyes, he pulled his hand out of Ziyu's hand, stretched out his arms, and hugged the white-haired Mrs. Zhen tightly in his arms.

Ziyu was always in a trance, as if in a dream, first Ye Qinglin told him that Zhen Rouer was not his mother, and the wife who was poisoned by him with a bowl of soup when he was five years old was his biological mother.

At this moment, his biological mother appeared in front of him again, standing in front of him alive.

In Ziyu's impression, Mrs. Zhen is a bad person who can't be approached, and his "mother" Zhen Rouer is the one who loves him the most.

All kinds of confused images in Ziyu's mind eroded him back and forth, and he was stunned there.

"The eldest son!" Du Jian's voice came from outside the door.

"What?" Ye Qinglin eased his mixed emotions, let go of Mrs. Zhen, and wiped away his tears.

"Qin Shuyu fled with the Zhen clan!" Du Jian's voice was obviously a little weak.

The person was simply let go by him Du Jian!

At the moment when Ye Qinglin and Ziyu questioned each other in the front yard, Du Jian heard Ye Qinglin's words and understood that Ye Qinglin asked Qin Shuyu to kill his biological mother, and Du Jian, who had always regarded Qin Shuyu as his own brother, ran out secretly to catch up with Qin Shuyu and told him the truth, so as not to make Qin Shuyu a sinner who killed his mother in a daze.

Qin Shuyu and the Zhen clan collapsed on the spot, and Du Jian felt that he might have made a mistake.

The Zhen clan has a bad reputation among them, and they have always treated her as an enemy for Ye Qinglin, but now suddenly telling Qin Shuyu the truth, it makes him more sad than letting Qin Shuyu kill the Zhen clan without knowing it, Qin Shuyu has already gone crazy and hit the trunk of the tree with his head again and again.

Ye Qinglin vented his anger on Qin Shuyu because of Yin'er's affair with Ziyu, and because of Liuyun's matter, it was equivalent to giving up on him, and then let him admit that Zhen Rou'er, who had been plotting to kill his sister Yin'er and abandoned him back then, was his mother, how could he not let him collapse.

In the end, Du Jian, who was on the side, was sober and shouted that he would take Zhen Rou'er and run away quickly, and never return to Ningyang City.

Qin Shuyu had no choice, he had no father or mother since he was a child, and he didn't mention Zhen Rou'er's personality, his son didn't think his mother was ugly, his dog didn't think he was poor, no matter how he was not a human, he was also his mother, he had no ability to change, so he could only take Zhen Rou'er out of Ningyang City overnight, and he didn't know where to go.

Just as Qin Shuyu was leaving the city on his front foot, Youwen and Junshan chased after him with a carriage and disappeared into the night together.

Du Jian saw them escape safely, and then returned to plead guilty to Ye Qinglin.

Du Jian shouted outside the door about Qin Shuyu's escape, and before Ye Qinglin could speak, Mrs. Zhen hurriedly grabbed his arm and shook it, and then dragged him close to the bookcase, and she began to write again.

Only four words were written: Let her go!

Ye Qinglin nodded and shouted at Du Jian outside: "Don't worry about him, the people in the courtyard have withdrawn!" ”

Du Jian answered outside the door, cold sweat pouring down, he didn't understand why the eldest prince suddenly didn't pursue it, he only felt relieved at this moment.

Ziyu was still stunned, and even after being woken up by the content of the conversation between Du Jian and Ye Qinglin, he didn't speak, and stood straight at a loss.

Mrs. Zhen walked over, and also pulled Ziyu closer to the bookcase, and began to write under the eyes of Ye Qinglin and Ziyu, and after writing one after another, every time she wrote one, she would take it to Ye Qinglin for him to read, and after Ye Qinglin finished reading, she passed it to Ziyu for Ziyu to read, and she kept seeing the two crying bitterly.

She was indeed their mother.

The grievances between her and Zhen Rouer, speaking of which, are inseparable from Hua Xi's mother Bangru.

When she was eighteen years old, the house said a family affair for her, married to Ye Yanqing, the son of Princess Qinghe, as his wife, originally thought it was a good family affair, but after giving birth to Ye Qinglin in the second year, he found that Ye Yunqing was infatuated with the daughter of an old master in Tai'an Academy.

Because of his youth and vigor, he had an awkward quarrel with Ye Yanqing several times, trying to prevent him from taking a concubine, but later found that it seemed to be successful, because the old master's daughter Bang Ru married Ye Yanqing's classmate, but what she didn't expect was that Ye Yanqing did not give up, and went to his classmate two years later and snatched back Bang Ru's coffin.

Mrs. Zhen was disheartened and understood that Ye Yanqing would rather guard Bangru's coffin than give her a veritable favor. It happened that the imperial capital's mother's family sent her a letter, saying that her own sister Zhen Rouer and the poor boy next door Xue Jin had no elope, and asked if she had escaped to her house, Mrs. Zhen immediately sent people to intercept at various intersections into the city, and sure enough, a few days later, she waited for her sister Zhen Rouer and Xue Jinwu, who wanted to come to her, and still held a newborn child in their arms.

For the sake of her sister's reputation, Mrs. Zhen asked Xue Jin to be tied up and thrown away, and sent someone to send her sister back to the imperial capital, and the child was handed over to the old servant Zhengui she brought from her mother's house, and gave Zhengui a sum of silver, so that Zhengui could go as far as she could.

Zhengui took the newborn baby, went all the way to the mountains, then walked to Taoyuan Village, lived there, settled down and sent a letter to Mrs. Zhen, reported safety, and changed his surname to Qin, and later people called him Qin Old Man, and the baby was named Qin Shuyu with his surname.

In order to make Ye Runqing sober up and not think about Bangru lying in the coffin every day, Mrs. Zhen persuaded him to accept her sister Zhen Rouer as a concubine, wanting to keep Ye Yanqing's heart, Ye Runqing unexpectedly agreed, Zhen Rouer was sent to the Xuanyang Marquis Mansion and became Ye Yanqing's concubine.

Zhen Rouer didn't miss Mrs. Zhen's sisterhood and broke up her and Xue Jinwu, and hated Mrs. Zhen to the core, and when she entered the mansion, she took revenge on Mrs. Zhen for the purpose of revenge, and tried her best to frame Mrs. Zhen, and got Ye Yanqing's favor, Mrs. Zhen was expelled from the mansion and locked in the small courtyard at the end of North Street, in order to prevent Mrs. Zhen from escaping, she also locked her feet with iron chains.

At that time, Mrs. Zhen had just been pregnant with Ziyu for less than two months, and Ye Yanqing didn't know it, but let Zhen Rouer find out.

Zhen Rouer wanted to knock down the fetus in Mrs. Zhen's womb, but then she thought that she had just given birth to a child not long ago, and the menstrual affairs were not normal, and she couldn't conceive a child in a short time, Zhen Rouer in order to consolidate her position in Xuanyang Houfu, pretended to be pregnant, so that Ye Yanqing could not notice that she had just given birth, and after August, Zhen Rouer and Mrs. Zhen "gave birth" to the child on the same day, and the child that Mrs. Zhen had just given birth to in the North Street courtyard was taken away by a mother-in-law and sneaked into Zhen Rouer's room from the back door of Xuanyang Hou's mansion.

Since then, Ziyu has become Zhen Rouer's own son.

Zhen Rouer was very glad for her wise decision at the beginning, but later she found out that because she gave birth to Qin Shuyu on the way to Xue Jin without eloping, she could no longer conceive a child because her body had not been recuperated.
