"Are you ......," Xiao Lingjiang asked.

The old woman raised her eyes and looked around, there were people coming and going in front of the Assassin's Mansion, and it was not a place to speak.

She approached Xiao Lingjiang slightly, lowered her head and said in a low voice: "The old woman has a clue about the person in the painting that the princess is looking for, and she also asks the princess to take a step to speak." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Lingjiang raised his eyebrows, "Then you come with me." So saying, he led the old woman around to a quiet alley beside her.

Qingzhu and He Zheng, one followed her two steps away, protecting her at any time, and the other kept an eye on the old woman's every move, lest she have any surprises.

Now Mei is quietly abnormal, and he doesn't have to use any moves. Although the princess has martial arts, the people around them should be careful.

Walking to the depths of the alley, Xiao Lingjiang stopped and looked at the old woman standing in front of him: "You can rest assured now." ”

Hearing this, the old woman knelt on the ground with a puff.

"Please help me find my daughter who is worn!"

Looking for someone?

Didn't she say that she had clues about the person in the painting to tell her?

Xiao Lingjiang looked at the sincere old woman and frowned slightly: "This aunt, if you are looking for someone, you should go to the official mansion." I'm not from Chizhou, so I may not be able to help you. ”

"Help, help!" The old woman raised her head and looked at Xiao Lingjiang earnestly, "The person in the painting that the princess is looking for is my hard-working daughter Cen Niang!" ”

Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but be stunned, quite incredulous: "You mean...... The woman in the picture posted in the city today is your daughter? ”

She looked at the old woman, who was hunched up, her hair almost gray, and the upper half of her face was wrinkled.

Although I didn't see all of his appearance, it really didn't look like the woman in the painting.

What's more, the person in the painting is from the Mei family, and when Xiao Lingjiang first saw the woman in the wasteland, the woman was dressed in plain clothes and fabrics, but the fabric was very luxurious, and her manners were quite good.

She later became Princess Yongmu, no matter what, should she not let her mother fall into such a situation?

The old woman nodded: "I know that the princess will not trust me easily,"

She pressed down the sorrow in her heart, and reached out to uncover the cloth towel that hid her face: "Although I look old and ugly now, I still have a little resemblance to Cen Niang......

Xiao Lingjiang looked over carefully, the old woman's face was also old, the right half of her cheek seemed to have been burned by something, and the scar the size of a palm covered most of the side of her face.

However, if you look closely, her eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips are indeed printed in the same mold as the woman in the painting.

If you ignore her old age and scars on her face, she does have some resemblance to the person in the painting, and you can imagine that she must have been a beautiful lady when she was young.

The old woman looked at her memories and spoke sadly about the past.

At the beginning, she was obviously a woman, but she was tempted for a while, and gave birth to Cen Niang with the Mei family's eldest Langjun. Mei Lang wanted to take their mother and daughter into the house but was blocked, and she and Mei Niang were forced to leave Chizhou with her useless husband.

To be a human being, sometimes you just have to die. Since Mei Lang didn't miss their mother and daughter, she simply stopped thinking about entering the backyard of the world clan and devoted herself to raising Cen Niang.

Who would have expected that when Cen Niang was seven or eight years old, she was suddenly picked up by the Mei family.

She was reluctant to give up, but when she thought of her daughter's return this time, she would have gone to live a good life, so she could only let go of the pain.

That's three years.

Later, her husband fell ill, and she was alone and really missed Cen Niang, so she secretly went back to Chizhou City to inquire about Cen Niang's news privately, but no one had ever heard of such a little lady in the Mei family.

Later, she thought of sneaking into Mei's house and got a job pouring swill in the back kitchen, but she still couldn't find the slightest news about Cen Niang.

She felt a chill in her heart, and felt that she had been deceived in the first place.

At this time, she happened to catch a glimpse of the person who led Cen Niang away in the mansion, and that person was a close associate of Mei Qu, the head of the Mei family, who had always acted on the orders of the head of the family.

Since he is indeed a member of the Mei family, Cen Niang must have been picked up by the Mei family.

The key is, the Mei family obviously picked her up, why didn't the people in the house know anything about her? Where is Cen Niang now?

She is determined to find out the truth and find her daughter.

So I looked for a job to collect swill, and for several years I secretly pondered the whereabouts of Mei Qu and the attendants around me, and finally found out about Cen Niang's news in a small courtyard in the city.

But for some reason, Cen Niang never went out, and she never met her.

She gritted her teeth and ruined most of her face, and with her cooking skills, she blended into the small courtyard and became a cook, and then slowly contacted Cen Niang.

After that, she realized that in the past five or six years, Cen Niang was living such a life and death life!

Children are all pieces of meat that fell from their mother's body!

She was heartbroken, and she became much older all of a sudden, but she could only hate that she had no way to take Cen Niang to escape, so she accompanied her like this, thinking of making up for her.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is another three or four years.

She thought that the mother and daughter could only live like this, but things seemed to have taken a turn for the better.

That time, Cen Niang had a high fever and was unconscious, but after escaping from death, she suddenly opened her mind, and she had a talent in medicine and spiritual healing, and she was more and more appreciated by the old Tao once in half a year.

In addition, Namei Jiulang's body has gradually improved for many years, and Cen Niangzai finally got rid of the fate of being taken blood.

The mother and daughter were also freer, and Cen Niang also rented a small courtyard for her and placed her there.

It's just that since then, the mother and daughter seem to have separated from each other.

She always felt that Cen Niang no longer seemed to be the Cen Niang she used to be, her temperament and preferences had changed a lot, the mother and daughter felt as if they were separated by something, and Cen Niang came to see her less and less.

She was uneasy, but at least her daughter was still alive, and her hanging heart gradually settled.

But since Cen Niang came to see her once in the autumn of the previous year, she completely lost the news.

Now that she saw the portrait posted in the city, she rashly found Xiao Lingjiang, since Princess Yongan also wants to find Cen Niang, no matter what her purpose is, can she help herself find her daughter's traces?

Xiao Lingjiang listened to the old woman's words, and his heart couldn't help but move, if this old woman hadn't lied, this Cen Niang should be the woman who took her away, the current Princess Yongmu, right?

It's just that listening to what she just said, this Cen Niang doesn't seem to be Bi Cen Niang.

Her real daughter, the hard-working Cen Niang who was exchanged for blood, seemed to be quietly replaced on the day she fell into a coma with a high fever......
