Chapter 296: One Child and Two Mothers

Lu Wanzhi returned to the county government from the temple, saw Zhao Heng in the room and asked, "Has Hua Ying woken up?" ”

Zhao Heng shook his head and said, "Not yet, but she didn't burn up, and her breath stabilized, so she must still be able to wake up." ”

Lu Wanzhi walked to the bookcase and sighed lightly, seeing Zhao Heng writing a letter, Lu Wanzhi said: "Don't tell Your Majesty and the Queen Mother the news of Princess Huaying's suicide." ”

Zhao Heng said: "Why? Are you afraid that Uncle Huang will blame your eldest brother? is to blame, Hua Ying is with him, he can watch Hua Ying kill herself......"

Lu Wanzhi brushed her hands at Xingrui and the other maids, and after the maids retreated, Lu Wanzhi whispered to Zhao Heng about the reason for Hua Ying's suicide.

Zhao Heng's eyes widened and said, "What? Hua Ying is simply stupid! When Concubine Hui calculated you, she didn't think about her at all, she was good, she didn't even want her life in order to save Concubine Hui, is she worth it? And the eldest brother is also stupid......"

After Zhao Heng touched Lu Wanzhi's eyes, he swallowed the stupid word: "Why didn't the eldest brother immediately call me and Gu Shiyu back when he knew that there was evidence?" ”

Lu Wanzhi said: "Big brother and Hua Ying are husband and wife after all, if you find evidence of my mother's rebellion, what will you do?" ”

Lu Wanzhi didn't wait for Zhao Heng to answer, and said, "Although the eldest brother has a cold face, his heart is not cold, he may not really have any friendship with Hua Ying, especially since they have been together for a year, and Hua Ying has also been pregnant with his child."

The eldest brother must be entangled in exposing Concubine Hui, if it is really Hua Ying's last wish, if the eldest brother still exposes Concubine Hui, I am afraid that he will not be able to go for the rest of his life. ”

Zhao Heng said: "I don't have to tell the imperial uncle and the imperial grandmother about this matter, but I have to tell the crown prince and the royal brother, but I will ask the crown prince and the royal brother not to punish Hua Ying and the eldest brother, after all, the imperial brother still owes the eldest brother." ”

Lu Wanzhi thought about it and said, "Hmm." ”

When the two were having lunch, Lu Wanzhi saw Zhao Heng sitting and took a nap and said, "You didn't sleep all night last night, how can you go to the court?" Why don't you take a break? ”

Zhao Heng said: "No, I can't rest, the people of Shanyin in the yamen are still waiting for me to go to the court." ”

Lu Wanzhi said: "Then I'll accompany you to the hall, look at your sleepy appearance, I'll help you keep an eye on it later." ”

Since Zhao Heng became the magistrate of the county, the county government has always solved some trivial matters for the people of Shanyin, and it was a trivial matter to come to the court to redress grievances, but today he encountered an unbelievable case.

The two women actually came to beat the drum and grab a child, both saying that it was their own child.

Zhao Heng was very curious when he saw the two women who came in: "You all say it's your child?" How can this child have two birth mothers? ”

The woman in Tsing Yi knelt down and said: "Lord Qingtian, this is my child, the child I gave birth to in October was snatched by my sister, but it was her son!" ”

Lu Wanzhi saw the two women kneeling below, and their faces were really similar, "Between these sisters, how can the child still be mistaken?" ”

Zhao Heng felt that he was sleepy and woke up, after becoming the magistrate of the county, any strange thing could be encountered.

The young woman in red hugged the baby in her arms and cried, "This is my son, the son of my blood who was conceived and born in October." ”

Although it was a dog day in the summer, there were still a lot of lively people outside the yamen, especially when they heard that there was such a strange thing as two mothers fighting for one, they all rushed here.

Zhao Heng asked, "Who are your respective husbands?" What's your name? ”

The woman in Tsing Yi said: "The woman is called Xia Lotus, the family lives in Qianjia Lane, the husband of the woman is in the fabric business, my sister has not yet married, no one has seen her pregnant, she said that the child is hers!" ”

Lu Wanzhi saw the woman in red and said, "Where did you come from, son who hasn't married yet?" Do you know that if you don't get married, if you have children, you are a murderer! ”

The woman in red hugged the child in her arms tightly and said: "This is my child, my son, it was my sister who deceived me, she has been married to my brother-in-law for more than six years, she will only give birth to a daughter and lose money, but she can't give birth to a son, and she is disgusted by her brother-in-law."

She hit me on the head, my family conditions are not good, my sister said that if I give birth to a son, I will let my brother-in-law take me as a concubine, but I didn't expect that after I gave birth to a son, taking advantage of my brother-in-law's absence, she actually bit my son to death She gave birth to it! ”

Zhao Heng looked at Xia Lotus and said, "Is there really such a thing?" ”

Xia Lotus shouted injustice: "No, no, according to the laws of Dasheng, how can merchants and civilians take concubines?" Our family is just a small business, how dare we go against the laws of Dasheng, this son is mine! ”

Xia Lianhua shouted: "It's my son, you don't have a belly, don't touch my child." ”

Xia Lotus stepped forward to grab the child in Xia Lianhua's hand, and between the two of them, the child's cry could be described as earth-shattering.

Lu Wanzhi pressed her temples and said to Xia Hehua: "Where is your husband?" ”

Xia Lotus said: "My husband went out to do business, I just gave birth to a child before the moon, and my shameless sister stole the child to beat the drum!" ”

Xia Lianhua said: "This is clearly my son, you want to take advantage of Jin Lang's failure to return, snatch my son, and marry me to others, so that you can have a stable position with my son." ”

Between the two sisters, the infant child cried very much.

Lu Wanzhi instructed Xu Zhutou and said, "Report the child over." ”

Xu Zhutou snatched the child from the hands of the two women and hugged it to Lu Wanzhi.

Lu Wanzhi picked up the child who had just turned one month, and after she was pregnant, she was a little softer when she saw the child.

Zhao Heng stepped forward to take a look, this child was not good-looking, far worse than Gu Qingchi's daughter.

Lu Wanzhi said to Xia Lianhua: "What do you mean, your sister said that before you were pregnant, you could give birth to your brother-in-law's son and be a concubine for your brother-in-law."

But after you gave birth to your son, your sister didn't admit it and took your son away? On the contrary, she said that she gave birth to herself, and tried to marry you off while your brother-in-law did not return? ”

"Yes!" Xia Lianhua said pitifully, "I finally ran out of the child and sounded the drum of injustice." ”

The people who were watching the excitement outside said: "This daughter-in-law of Jin Dalang's family, who married in six years and gave birth to a girl, is indeed a girl, and this child has become a son, maybe it is really a child who stole his sister." ”

"One child and two mothers, it's really a miracle, a miracle."

Xia Hehua said: "The woman has never said anything about making her a concubine, this child was born in the tenth month of the woman's pregnancy, and my sister hated me in her heart, so she made up such a lie." ”

Zhao Heng knocked on the shocked wood and said: "Xia Lotus, you must know that this sentence cannot be tolerated in the court, and if you make up lies, you should also be punished." ”

Xia Lotus knelt on the ground and said, "Lord Qingtian......"

Zhao Heng said: "This mother and son are connected, parents can't bear the slightest pain of their children, let alone pull the legs of a full-moon child, and you just pulled the child's legs, without the slightest distress, you said that this is the child you conceived and born in October, are you stupid when Benzhi County?" ”

Xia Lotus said with a decadent face: "Lord Qingtian, I ......"

Xia Lianhua kowtowed and said: "The eldest lord is really wise, this is my child, please Mrs. return the child to me, and when Jin Lang returns, he will definitely thank the county magistrate." ”
