Chapter 473: Recognition
Chapter 474: Recognition
Zhou Ma's original evasive psychology disappeared in an instant.
She was also a little glad that she came to the West Courtyard, otherwise her two sisters, as the only two representatives of the Ma family in the Zhou family's three-room house, would not be able to refute Mrs. Ma's words at the first time, wouldn't they sit back and watch the Ma family's name be smeared? !
She immediately rushed into the courtyard gate and retorted loudly: "Ah Jia Hugh is talking nonsense! When did you become the daughter of the Ma family?! It doesn't matter if you are the daughter of the clan or the daughter of a fugitive prisoner, you have no blood relationship with the Ma family! You're just an adopted daughter after your aunt and grandmother returned from widowhood. There are still many old people alive in the Ma family, and they have all seen the situation when the old aunt and grandmother took you home. Don't think that it was more than 50 years ago, and if few people know about it, they can talk nonsense! ”
Ma Shi also followed behind: "That's right! The Ma family has been loyal and brave for generations, how can there be an unfilial daughter like you who colludes with the Hu people?! Don't smear the face of the ancestors of the Ma family! ”
The representative of the Ma family arrived, and both Zhou Ma and Ma could prove that Mrs. Ma was not the flesh and blood of the Ma family. They can still name the rest of the Ma family who can prove this, and they have also handed over the relevant evidence to the commander of the Shaanxi Dusi Commander, Tongzhi Tu Rong. Tu Rong agreed with the Ma sisters' statement, and Mrs. Ma's defense was rejected.
But she looked quite thick-skinned: "It's true that I'm nominally an adopted daughter, but how do you know that I'm not my mother's flesh and blood?" ”
The expressions on Zhou Ma and Ma's faces became even more hideous. Is it possible that Mrs. Ma still wants to pour dirty water on her aunt's head, saying that she is the illegitimate daughter of her aunt and grandmother?!
Ma gritted his teeth and glared at Mrs. Ma: "When you were down, it was the old aunt and grandmother of the Emen family who took you in, and brought you to Chang'an, where you were offered with good food and drink, a good family affair for you, a rich dowry, and the family property entrusted to you on her deathbed." My aunt and grandmother have been innocent and benevolent all her life, and since she was widowed in middle age, she has never had the idea of Jiao again. Even if her husband's family was dissatisfied with her, he never found fault with her in this matter. She is as kind to you as a mountain, if you are not grateful, in order to deny the identity of the clan girl, but also to tarnish the innocent reputation of the benefactor, you are a beast that is not as good as a pig and a dog! For brutes, the Ma family can't be recognized! Ming'er went back to her parents' house and explained the reason to the patriarch Zonglao, even if the old aunt and grandmother complained about it, she would remove your unfilial adopted daughter from her name, lest she be affected by you after she died! ”
Old Madam Ma blushed, pursed her lips tightly, and did not speak again.
Haitang stared at her expression, and deliberately whispered to her grandmother Ma Shi in a voice that the people around her could hear: "It's really strange, what's wrong with the identity of the clan girl?" Would rather pour sewage on the head of her benefactor's adoptive mother, and she would not admit it? Being a royal family member, is she so unhappy? The surname Song can still insult her?! ”
After listening to Haitang's "whispering", Ma Shi gave up, and he had not yet calmed down from his anger, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his granddaughter's words, but the Zhenguo Gong and his wife, General Saturday and his wife, Tu Rong and a guest from Beijing all changed their faces.
Tu Rong's eyes were different when he looked at Old Madam Ma: "If the old lady is ashamed of her national surname, is it really the daughter of the Hu people?" The so-called clan identity is just a misunderstanding? Then you cling to the Ma family and seek to marry into the Zhou family, could it be all a conspiracy of the Hu people?! ”
Old Madam Ma's face changed, and she reluctantly turned her head: "Naturally, I am not a Hu spy, let alone a Hu blood!" I...... I was indeed from a clan, but because I was mistreated by my family, I was forced to escape into the empty door and cut my family. I was unwilling to live my life as a green lantern ancient Buddha, and when I saw that Mrs. Ma had pity for me, I worshipped her as my adoptive mother and left the capital incognito. ”
She didn't want to admit her origins, but she couldn't do it now. This group of people was determined to embarrass her, and if she didn't admit that she was a clan, she would be killed as a bearded girl. She has always asked herself how to choose, needless to say.
Mrs. Ma admitted her identity as a clan daughter, and then the old palace people from Beijing came forward.
She pulled out a drawing, on which was a fine drawing of a comb. The palace people accompanying him had already taken a step in advance from Mrs. Ma's house to get the ebony gold comb, and compared it with the drawings, it was obviously exactly the same thing.
The old palace people said to everyone: "The old slave is Shangyi Ma Sufang of Cining Palace. This is a drawing obtained by the Shanggong Bureau from the Inner Palace, and it is a black wood gold comb drawing paper customized for a clan edict more than 50 years ago. The edict of the clan was the wife of the eighth son of the prince of Qinguo, the prince of Chu. She customized a full set of dressing utensils for her eldest daughter who was about to marry, and then customized a pair of ebony gold combs and matching mirrors for her second daughter. One of the mirrors was broken a year after it was made, and a pair of combs disappeared with their owners. Now the palace people found this pair of ebony gold combs from the old lady's makeup box, and the patterns and imprints on them are exactly the same as the drawings. May I ask the old lady, are you the second daughter of the Duke of Qin, Song Yuzhu? ”
Old Madam Ma already had a premonition when she saw the palace people take away the ebony gold comb. Although she didn't know how she exposed the stuffing, and how did the Zhou family find out that her comb was produced by the Inner House, she could only continue to admit at this time: "Yes, I am Song Yuzhu." ”
Ma Sufang, a man from the old palace, put away the drawings and continued: "Before the old slave left the palace, he went to see the descendants of the Duke of Qinguo. Qin Guogong and his wife died of illness several years after the disappearance of their second daughter, and the eldest daughter also died of illness, leaving only one concubine to inherit the family business. This prince is still alive now, although he is old, he still remembers the second sister he has never met, why he left home. Song Yuzhu, the second daughter of Qin Guogong, was not forced to leave the house because she was mistreated by her family. It was because she was engaged to the Hou Shizi of Pingxi that she had an affair with a foreign man, and her parents found out that she was unwilling to admit that she was at fault, so the husband and wife of Qinguo withdrew from the marriage for her and sent her to the countryside to recuperate.
But not only did she not repent, but she also absconded back to Beijing privately to take revenge on her family, which injured her eldest sister, damaged her mother's reputation, and almost lost her title. Qin Guogong was furious and ruthlessly expelled his second daughter from the house. Song Yuzhu disappeared without a trace, and her family has not heard from her again. However, Qin Guogong and his wife still held a grudge against their second daughter until their death, leaving a portrait and a last word, and instructing the family to keep this hatred in mind, and to arrest the unfilial daughter in the future and deal with it strictly. ”
Speaking of this, Ma Sufang glanced at Mrs. Ma again: "Old lady, these past events ...... Do you admit it all? ”
Old Madam Ma's face darkened. She didn't expect that her younger brother, who she had never seen before, would know her black history, and after sending someone to inquire in the palace, she directly publicized the ugliness of her family...... Sure enough, a cheap seed is a cheap seed! Why did the father and mother give the title of the family to the lowly race? And tell him so many things he shouldn't know?!
Many of the people present were whispering in secret, such as the Ma and Zhou Ma sisters, who couldn't help but complain to the two children, Haitang and Zhou Yijun: "She is actually an unfilial girl, she made her mistakes first, not only refused to admit punishment, but also had the face to take revenge on her parents and relatives?!" What a white-eyed wolf! ”
Haitang took the opportunity to say "whispering" again: "It's so strange, no matter whether her parents treated her badly or not, she also changed her name and surname to Chang'an to marry, the old lady in the third room is so good to her, why does she have to deal with Hu people and spies in a good life?" It can't be that her parents treated her badly, and she even hates the entire Song family, right? ”
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this. Old Madam Ma's gaze shot towards the begonia like a sharp arrow: "Little girl, what nonsense are you talking about?" Where is the place for you to talk?! ”
Haitang raised her eyebrows and glared back without fear: "You have poured dirty water on my relatives and ancestors, and you still don't allow me to tell the truth?" If you don't have a ghost in your heart, what is there to be afraid of?! ”
