Chapter 221: The Biological Mother's Maid
The night wind hit, and Ru Xiaonan shrunk her neck.
Qing Moyan pulled Hou Yan tight, covering her head.
Qing Moyan took Xuanyu and the others out of the city overnight.
The night wind was blowing, and Ru Xiaonan didn't even dare to stick out her head, so she could only let Qing Moyan gallop on her horse.
After running for about half an hour, Ru Xiaonan's legs were almost frozen, and then the green Moyan horse slowed down.
"Shizi, the grave sweeper entered the small village in front. "There's a report from the front.
Qing Moyan led everyone close to the village, and outside the village, everyone dismounted.
Qing Moyan left only Xuanyu and the two dead soldiers to lead the way, and the others waited outside the village.
Someone had already explored the road and took Qing Moyan and others to the door of a family in the village.
Ru Xiaonan pulled the sleeves of Qingmoyan's shirt and never left.
From the outside, the house is dilapidated, and it does not look like a wealthy family.
Xuanyu stepped forward and knocked on the door.
In the middle of the night, there was silence all around, and the knock on the door was particularly harsh.
After a while, someone answered the door, and a man in his twenties came out, wearing coarse cloth clothes and a yellow and thin face.
"You are ......" he was startled at the sight of several richly dressed people standing outside the door.
Xuanyu couldn't say anything, pushed the man open and went straight to the door.
The two dead men quickly looked inside the house.
The man was anxious, "You can't trespass, there are sick people in the house, and you can't see the wind......"
As soon as the words fell, a dead man pushed open the door of the inner room, looked in expressionlessly, and then quickly closed the door and nodded to Xuanyu.
That is, the man was not lying, and there were indeed patients in the inner room.
Qing Moyan walked in with Ru Xiaonan and looked at the furnishings in the house.
"You ...... What do you want to do?" the man asked uneasily.
"Who are you, why did you go to the mountains in the middle of the night to sweep the graves? Qing Moyan asked straight to the point.
The man froze, "You...... How do you know ......"
"Do you know Mrs. Lu from Qinghou Mansion?" Qing Moyan looked at the other party, seeing that the other party was about the same age as him, it was said that he would never know his biological mother.
"You...... Do you know Mrs. Lu?" the man exclaimed, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, "You...... Are you Qing Moyan, the prince of Qinghou Mansion?"
"Exactly. ”
The man's face suddenly showed joy, and he shook his head in disbelief, "I didn't expect that it was really you, you really came." ”
"You know me?" Qing Moyan felt that the other party's reaction was a little strange.
"Yes, Shizi come in, my aunt has been waiting for this day......" The man hurriedly ran to the inner room.
Xuanyu wanted to take someone into the inner room, but he didn't want to be stopped by Qing Moyan, so he only took Ru Xiaonan and followed the man in.
The furnishings of the room were simple, and there was a man lying on a simple wooden bed, dark and cold, looking frightening.
"Auntie, Qing Shizi is here. The man called softly.
Only then did Qing Moyan and Ru Xiaonan see clearly that it was a woman lying on the bed, because of the burns, the skin of her whole body had ulcerated and was covered with pieces of medicinal cloth.
Hearing the voice, the woman's eyes rolled and she turned her head.
"He is Mrs. Lu's son, Qing Moyan!" the man said happily, "Auntie, don't you think about him every day, he really came." ”
The woman opened her mouth with difficulty, and ahhh
The man immediately took water from the table and fed her two mouthfuls before she spoke.
"Shizi, I've finally waited for you, and I've finally been suffering all these years...... It's not in vain, all these years, if it weren't for Miss's entrustment...... I don't want to suffer anymore......"
Qing Moyan came to the bedside, "Who are you, do you know my mother?"
A few cloudy tears flowed from the woman's eyes, "My family is in trouble, and there is a lawsuit, if it weren't for Miss Lu...... Our whole family is going to lose our heads, and I am grateful to her, so I became a maid by her side......"
Qing Moyan only felt that her heart was pounding and throbbing, she was actually the maid next to her mother?
He has been looking for so many years, and he can't even find any of the subordinates who served his mother, but he didn't expect to meet the maid next to his mother here.
"Do you know how my mother died?"
In fact, in his heart, there was still a trace of thought, because the tomb was empty, so he hoped that his mother was still alive in the world.
Miss Lu shook her head and said with difficulty: "Not long after I arrived at Miss Lu's side, she was forced to enter the Qinghou Mansion and became a ...... But I know that the young lady must not want to...... Because I've never seen her laugh...... And then she got pregnant with you...... But the Hou Ye objected to her getting worse and worse, and locked her up in the back house......"
Qing Moyan clenched her fists, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red.
Ru Xiaonan held his hand tightly and shook it.
Qing Moyan lowered her head with red eyes, facing a pair of green cat's eyes, and her concern was overflowing.
The corners of Qing Moyan's mouth twitched, and she wanted to say something, but her mouth moved for a long time, and she couldn't spit out a word.
Even if he had already guessed that there was no harmony between his father and mother, he didn't expect that the truth was even more cruel than he imagined.
"Once...... The young lady wants to escape...... was captured by Hou Ye, and he drove all of us out...... Spent one night in the house...... The young lady cried all night, and when we went in the next morning, we saw her covered in blood...... I'm about to have a miscarriage......"
The woman gasped for a long time and continued: "Later, I invited a doctor to come, and it was not easy to save the child, but the people in the courtyard were all punished by the Hou Ye one by one, beaten, killed, killed...... I was the only one left, and one night...... The wing room suddenly caught fire, I couldn't escape and was burned like this, so the Hou Ye thought I was dead, and let people put it in a coffin and carry it out of the city to be buried. ”
"I thought I was going to die, but when I woke up, I found that I had already returned home...... Only then did I know that Miss had expected it, and secretly spent money to ask someone to help, but it was still a step late, and I burned like this......"
Qing Moyan listened quietly, the violent emotions churning in his chest were like knives, about to cut him in half, he couldn't figure out what his mother had done to ask his father to humiliate her like this.
The woman gasped for a moment and continued, "At that time, Miss secretly entrusted me with one thing, asking me to incense her at this time of year...... But at that time, the young lady was still alive and well, and I didn't take it seriously, and she told me in detail the location of the grave, and I only thought it was her angry words, who knows...... It's true. ”
At this time, the young man beside the woman said, "At that time, after I heard the news of Mrs. Lu's death, I secretly searched for the location that my aunt said, but I didn't expect to find it, so I will go to incense for my aunt every night." ”
Qing Moyan's brows became tighter and tighter, could it be that his mother had already known that she would find her grave one day, so she deliberately left him a clue?
But he quickly dispelled this speculation, how could it be, you must know that it was more than twenty years ago, who could guess what was behind him.
Just when he was upset and cranky, he suddenly heard the woman on the bed say: "Sometimes I think that the young lady's eyes can see through people's hearts, she should have known that she was going to die, and you would find ......"
