Chapter 1242 The truth of that year

Looking at Prime Minister Qin who looked anxious, the old monk told him what happened that year.

At that time, Mrs. Qin, who was pregnant, came to the temple to burn incense. When her maid went to add incense money, she was accidentally bumped by a child and showed signs of giving birth.

The old monk helped find a midwife in the temple, and after a whole night of hard work, she finally gave birth to a big fat boy.

After hearing that the mother and child were safe, the old monk left and went to the kitchen, thinking of having someone make some rice porridge and send it over.

When I came back, I heard that the child and the midwife were missing.

Mrs. Qin cried so hard that she fainted several times.

Although the old monk was not to blame for that incident, he was the one who found the midwife, so he felt very guilty.

So he thought of going out to help ask if anyone knew the midwife, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked out of the temple gate, he saw a cloth bag the size of a palm.

Hearing the faint cry of a baby inside, he hurried over, opened the box and saw that there was a little baby girl inside.

The crying sound was very weak, and he looked like he was dying.

Holding the child in his arms, he thought of Madam Qin. Perhaps this was God's compensation to her, so he took the child in his arms without hesitation.

When Mrs. Qin saw the dying child, she felt very distressed. She listened to the old monk and took the child away.

After listening to the old monk's story, Prime Minister Qin tried to control his emotions. He was excited, distressed, and even angry, and his fists were always clenched.

I feel sorry for my wife because she had such a dangerous childbirth and now she has to deal with something like this.

He was angry that someone had taken his son away.

But he was more excited, which made his guess more certain that Xiaoshan must be his biological son.

On the way back, I was thinking about this matter all the time.

The lady has always been gentle and virtuous, never making enemies with anyone, not to mention that she rarely leaves the house.

But he concluded in his heart that the incident was definitely not an accident, and must have been done on purpose.

Otherwise, how could he be knocked down when the maid was not around, and there happened to be a midwife there? He absolutely did not believe that this was an accident.

Who will benefit from doing this kind of thing?

Thinking of this, his body suddenly stiffened, his eyes filled with anger.

“………………”

Diao family, Diao family must be closely related to it.

Thinking of what Wei Dacheng said before, and the panic on Diao's face when she saw Zhanshan, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

No wonder Jun'er and Yue'er don't have any family genetic characteristics, it turns out they are not their biological children.

That Diao was truly hateful. Not only did she have an affair with a man outside her family, she also gave birth to two children. I had suffered so much from being deceived by her over the years.

If she hadn't whispered in his ear that Chuchu didn't look like her, he wouldn't have been so cold to the lady.

This eventually caused her to become depressed and hurt her health.

When I thought of my wife and what the old monk said, I felt extremely guilty.

The culprit behind all this is Diao, and he will not let her go.

Thinking of this, he called the secret guard beside him over.

"Go to the east of the city to investigate something..."

"Yes." The secret guard took the order and left quickly.

By the time he returned home, it was almost noon.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Diao, who greeted me with a smile.

"Master, is there a lot going on in the court today? Why are you back so late?"

“………………” Prime Minister Qin didn’t say anything.

He just glanced at Diao, turned around and sat on the chair. Only he knew how hard it was for him to restrain himself.

This woman will not admit it without evidence, so he can only wait.

Seeing that the master didn't say anything, Diao thought he was unhappy about something in the court, so she twisted her butt and moved closer.

"Master, please have some tea!"

"Leave it there!" Prime Minister Qin waved his hand.

Whenever I thought of this woman and Wei Dacheng, I felt sick, but I tried my best to control my emotions.

Seeing how unhappy the master looked, I thought he must be upset because of something going on in the court.

I didn't want to offend him, but my daughter's matter was a big deal, so I thought about it and sat down.

"Master, now that Yue'er is about to get married, it's time to look for a good man. I'm thinking of the second son of the Yongning Marquis family, Xiao Qingyun, who is not bad.

What's more, he is Yingying's second brother, which is a close relationship. What do you think, Master?"

Diao sat there talking to herself, saying that she had thought that the dead girl would die on the way to exile.

By then, his daughter would become a legitimate daughter, so naturally he would look for the eldest son of a wealthy and powerful family.

But now that the legitimate lady can't do it, she can only settle for the next best thing.

Although the second young master Xiao was a bastard, he was a good person both in appearance and character.

The most important thing is that he is still working for King Chen, and everyone knows that King Chen is currently in a strong position.

There is no need to think about marrying Prince Chen, but marrying the Second Young Master Xiao and being his legal wife would also be nice.

“………………” Prime Minister Qin curled the corners of his mouth in sarcasm.

She also wants to use me to find a good family for her daughter. I didn’t know it before, but now don’t dream about it.

"Master, please say something!"

Diao frowned and looked at the silent master. She felt that something was strange today. The way he looked at her made her feel a little panicked.

"We'll discuss this matter later." As soon as Prime Minister Qin finished speaking, he stood up and left, leaving Diao confused.

“………………”

I don’t know what happened to the master outside, he seemed unhappy.

In the evening, the secret guard brought back the information he had found.

"Prime Minister, Wei Dacheng does have a large house in the east of the city. He bought it two years ago and spent 120,000 taels on it."

After hearing the secret guard's words, Prime Minister Qin clenched his fists tighter and tighter.

How could Wei Dacheng, a soldier guarding the city gate, have so much silver? It goes without saying that it belongs to Diao.

She eats his food, uses his things, asks him to help raise the children, and finally gives money to a strange man. It's really hateful.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he quickly stood up and walked out.

Diao felt her eyelids twitch, and before she had time to wonder why, the housekeeper walked in with a sullen face.

"Madam, the master wants you to come over."

"Now?" Diao frowned and looked at the sky outside.

It was already this late, and she didn't know why the master called her, but she was still helped by the maid to go to the front hall.

Before I could guess what was going on, I was met with a cold face from the man.

"Where did all the money go?"

Prime Minister Qin had a gloomy expression on his face. He threw the account book in his hand directly in front of Diao and was completely furious.

I just had someone check the account book, and found that there were hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that didn't match. Without thinking too much, I knew where this woman had taken them.

Looking at the account book in front of her, although Diao was extremely panicked, she still forced an unnatural smile on her face.

"Master, what's wrong with you today? Why do you still want to check the accounts?"

After saying that, he walked up to the man and was about to get close to him when he was pushed away by Prime Minister Qin.

"Get out of here!"
