Chapter 248: What was Xiao Xuance's original identity?

"I've never left this city in my life." The old woman's old face was full of solemnity and sighing, "I still remember that night more than 20 years ago, the city was full of fires, fighting in the alleys, and the corpses of the soldiers were piled up into a mountain, and the blood almost flowed into a river!" ”

She coughed a few times, and then said: "I just came out of the Taishou Mansion after running errands, and I was confronted with swishing arrows, fortunately I was lucky enough to escape home, but my parents and sister at home have disappeared......

She chattered, and Pei Daozhu didn't listen much to it.

Pei Daozhu only caught the key word she cared about the most: "Too Shoufu? That night, in Taishou Mansion? ”

The old woman nodded: "What?" ”

"That night, was there a newborn baby in the Taishou Mansion? It is the Jiulang of the Xiao family, now named Xiao Heng, who is the county prince, and led troops to conquer Shu a few years ago. Pei Daozhu never expected to meet clues in this broken temple, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, "Mother-in-law, do you remember him?" ”

The old man did not speak.

She was unkempt, and her long dirty, gray hair obscured her face.

But at this moment, Pei Daozhu still keenly captured the other party's gradually changing emotions.

Obviously, the experience of that night in Taishou Mansion seemed unusual to this old woman.

She asked, "Mother-in-law?" ”

The old woman's voice became cold and hoarse: "Who are you?" ”

"I ...... I am the wife of Xiao Jungong, Pei Jia Daozhu. Pei Daozhu chose to tell the truth, "I also asked my mother-in-law to tell me what happened that night." ”

She sat upright, her small hand hidden in her wide sleeves, and gradually grasped a sharp dagger.

She wanted to know what that night was like, so she chose to be honest.

But knowing the face of the person does not know the heart.

If this old woman doesn't know what to do and wants to reveal her identity to the northern soldiers who are arresting people outside, then she doesn't mind sending her to the western sky.

"Xiao Jungong's wife......" The old woman muttered, looked at Pei Daozhu carefully for a long time, and finally shook her head, "Let me tell you the truth, I was originally a stable woman in Xihai City, and I was temporarily invited to Taishou Mansion, saying that the young lady of the Xiao family was going to give birth." But when I walked into the backyard, before I had even set foot in the boudoir, the maids said that the young lady had given birth. ”

Pei Daozhu was stunned: "It's not uncommon to give birth to a child in advance." Why did my mother-in-law react so much when I mentioned Taishou Mansion just now? ”

"If that's all there is, it's nothing." The old woman frowned, "But since I'm here, naturally there is no reason to turn around and leave, I have to get some reward, right?" After all, I pushed the invitation of many mothers' families and specially rushed to Taishou Mansion to deliver the baby. So I sneaked into the boudoir while the maids weren't looking...... I, I saw the baby in the swaddling clothes. ”

The further she spoke, the lower her voice became, as if it were some secret secret.

Pei Daozhu was nervous: "And then?" ”

"How many babies have I delivered, and the baby in the swaddling clothes is not the appearance of a newborn baby at all!" The old woman's voice trembled, "I see, it's clearly full-term old!" ”

Pei Daozhu's pupils narrowed coldly.

Full-term ......

Does this mean that Xiao Xuance was not born to Old Madam Xiao at all?!

The old woman continued: "I know that the more this kind of family, the more secrets there are. I didn't dare to stay longer, so I quickly slipped out of the boudoir. I wanted to go home, but I still alarmed the guards in the courtyard. They killed me, and when I collapsed in a pool of blood, I thought I was going to die.

But it was then that the Northlanders called. The Taishou Mansion was in a mess, and I was lucky enough to pick up a life and escaped from the Taishou Mansion with serious injuries. After so many years, the power of the Xiao family is in full swing. I'm afraid, I'm afraid they'll know I'm alive, that I've spied into their secrets, and they're going to kill me again. So all these years, I hid in Tibet unkempt, and I didn't even dare to go home, for fear of affecting my family......"

She couldn't help but burst into tears.

Bae Daozhu has always been silent.

In the bottom of my heart, there were stormy waves.

Xiao Xuance was not born to Mrs. Xiao, could it be that Mrs. Xiao brought a baby boy from elsewhere in order to fix her favor?

But this is completely unreasonable, Mrs. Xiao has many heirs under her knees, and she does not lack sons.

If the problem is not with Old Madam Xiao, then it is with Xiao Xuance.

Old Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Xiangye hoped to keep Xiao Xuance in the Xiao family, so they specially arranged such an identity for him.

So, what was Xiao Xuance's original identity?

Whose child is he?

Thousands of thoughts lingered in her mind, and Pei Daozhu understood very well that she probably couldn't think of an answer now.

She remembered something again and said, "Mother-in-law, I saw a stable woman in Taishou Mansion a few days ago, and it seems to be your sister. She's doing well, you don't have to worry. ”

The old woman laughed a few times, and then coughed violently again.

She gasped and shook her head: "I'm useless now, I'm afraid I won't last a few days." These secrets I intended to bring into the soil were told to you for the sake of you cooking porridge for me and these children tonight. Young lady, please read for my sake of revealing secrets, and after my death, settle this group of children for me, they are all abandoned babies that I have picked up all these years, poor thing! ”

Pei Daozhu nodded in agreement.

The night is getting deeper.

The ruined temple was silent, and only the sound of everyone's breathing could be heard as they slept.

Pei Daozhu didn't feel sleepy, opened his eyes, and quietly stared at the bright moon outside the temple.

So far, everything makes sense.

No wonder Xiao Xiangye is always very strict with Xiao Xuance, no wonder several brothers of the Xiao family are not very close to Xiao Xuance, it is because his body is not the blood of the Xiao family at all.

The moonlight fell in, and a chill spread around Pei Daozhu's body.

She tightened her body, and her delicate little face was as cold as frost.

When she returns to Jiankang in the future, does she want to tell Xiao Heng the news?

Will he be able to accept it?

Will he believe it?

When the truth is revealed in the future, how will she face him?

Without the aura of being born in a famous family, will she still love him?

Pei Daozhu's heart was in turmoil.

……

Next.

Pei Daozhu fell asleep before dawn, and before he slept for an hour, he was awakened by the sound of crying.

She sat up, and the group of children gathered around the old woman, shaking each other, but the other party did not respond, and his body was very stiff.

Xie Lin whispered: "I sniffed, this mother-in-law is gone, and she must be buried as soon as possible." ”

After burying the old woman, Pei Daozhu took in the children in the broken temple, but she didn't know how to feed them.

And the situation in the city is becoming more and more tense.

In order to show loyalty to Yuan Cheng, Xiao Rong had to turn Xihai City upside down, and he was bent on catching Pei Daozhu to ask for merit and reward.
