Chapter 60: You Don’t Have to Look for Your Relatives, But You Must Take Revenge

"But you said you were from Wucheng, Fuzhou..."

Nanny Xu said subconsciously.

When she first met Feng Qingsui, she was so shocked that she almost thought she had seen the young lady she had served for many years.

But Feng Qingsui's demeanor and tone of voice were completely different from her own lady's, and he was from Wucheng, so she thought it was just a similarity.

After all, there are still many people in the world who look alike.

There are ready-made examples in the palace.

Concubine Wu and other concubines looked like sisters, but in fact they had no blood relationship at all.

As for other possibilities, she didn't think about them.

Or rather, I dare not think about it.

The eldest daughter, who was raised in the Zong family with great love and care, might not be the daughter's child? That would be too terrifying.

If the old lady and the gentlemen knew about this, they would probably go crazy.

"To be honest, Madam, I was originally an orphan from the Beijing Charity Home. I was found at a mass grave on the outskirts of the city and only went to Fuzhou after being adopted."

Feng Qingsui talked about his own experience.

Then tell her your birthday.

"My birthday is the day I was picked up."

Aunt Xu was struck by lightning.

That day was only three days later than Ning Fengluan's birthday.

Feng Qingsui knew from her expression that she would be born in a few days. He poured her a cup of tea and said calmly, "Madam, tell me about Miss Ning's birth."

She lived in darkness for ten years.

If I hadn’t met my master, this period of time would probably have taken a lifetime.

There is nothing wrong with her eyes. She can't see because her visual center is damaged. The thing that damaged her visual center is a poison.

The master said that this poison was brought from her mother's womb.

It was the poison from her biological mother.

"This poison can cause neurasthenia, depression, and a loss of interest in anything, like an emotional illness. Ordinary doctors can't diagnose poisoning, but simply treat it as an emotional illness."

The master explained it to her at that time.

"The result is that the more you treat it, the worse it gets. The poisoned person has no desire to live anymore, and it's all over."

She grew up in a salesian's home with her sister and never longed for parental love.

For her, having a sister is enough.

Even though her sister was gone, she never thought about looking for her relatives.

but.

You may not seek revenge, but you must seek revenge.

The nanny drank two cups of tea before she calmed down and told her about the birth of her young lady.

"The young lady had just been pregnant for three months when the general, her father, died in battle. When the tragic news reached the capital, she cried for many times and forced herself to return to her parents' home to comfort the lady."

"After the young generals carried the coffin back to Beijing and she attended the funeral, her spirits became weaker day by day. She often sat alone in a daze, lost her appetite, and became increasingly thin."

"No matter how we try to persuade her, she just can't be happy. Her mother is not in good health, and the major generals have returned to the frontier and can't take care of her."

"Ever since she became pregnant, my son-in-law has been living in the outer study, only visiting her every day. But she has become depressed and unhappy, and the number of times she comes to the inner courtyard has become less and less."

"So when she didn't make it through the birthing process, we weren't surprised. After all, giving birth is like the gate of hell for women."

Aunt Xu sighed.

"The affairs of the mansion were all managed by the then Duke's wife, now the old lady, and she also took care of the funeral."

"I was in charge of the Jinyi Pavilion at the time, so I don't know much about the funeral arrangements. I only know that the child was being cared for by a wet nurse."

After saying that, she added, "The midwife was hired by the Zong family. When the young lady gave birth, Ling Ma, Chun Yu, and Xia Chan were by her side. Ling Ma was the young lady's wet nurse and passed away three years ago. After the young lady passed away, Chun Yu and Xia Chan have been guarding the dowry in the main courtyard."

After listening to this, Feng Qingsui asked, "What's your young lady's personality like?"

"The young lady is easygoing and open-minded. She always has a smile on her face. She never panics when encountering problems. Even when she was kidnapped, she was able to handle it calmly."

"Has she been kidnapped?"

Aunt Xu nodded.

"That happened half a month before the young lady was diagnosed with pregnancy. She was accompanying the Duke's wife to the temple to burn incense when a group of bandits intercepted the carriage and kidnapped them in the mountains."

"The Duke's wife fainted from fright. Miss saw that they didn't seem like vicious people, so she chatted with them for a while and discovered that they had gathered because they were dissatisfied with the Duke's Mansion's steward's forced purchase of land."

"She persuaded the kidnappers to release them and returned safe and sound."

After listening to this, Feng Qingsui was lost in thought.

She was 80% sure that she was the child of Miss Zong, but there was still 20% that needed to be confirmed.

Thinking of the wedding invitation sent by Princess Shouyang's mansion two days ago, she said to Aunt Xu, "Please ask if Zhong and Ning Fengluan have received the invitation from Princess Shouyang."

Aunt Xu was surprised: "You want to see them?"

Feng Qingsui nodded: "I have only seen Ning Fengluan, not Zhong Shi. I want to see what they look like standing together."

The people in the Zong family never suspected Ning Fengluan, which means that Ning Fengluan should look like Duke Ning or someone else, not like Zhong.

But in addition to appearance, there are other characteristics to determine blood relationship, and the two people may have other similarities.

Nanny Xu agreed.

The next day, Feng Qingsui was informed that the Ningguo Mansion had received the invitation.

-

The wedding banquet was held at Princess Shouyang’s mansion.

After divorcing Ji Peiyuan, Princess Shouyang quickly found a new love.

The wedding was scheduled for the fourth day of the second lunar month.

Feng Qingsui wore a veil to the banquet - she didn't want to disturb Zhong for the time being. When others asked her about it, she said that she was stung by a wasp and couldn't show it to others.

Ning Fengluan saw her, her nose wasn't a nose, her eyes weren't eyes, and she muttered to Zhong: "I don't know what the princess was thinking. She actually asked us to sit next to her. It's really..."

Zhong patted her hands and gave Feng Qingsui an apologetic smile.

"The child is ignorant, please don't be offended, Madam Ji."

Feng Qingsui didn't answer, but walked straight to the low table to the right of the two of them and sat down cross-legged.

After the dishes were served, she seemed to be eating seriously, but in fact she was secretly paying attention to Zhong and Ning Fengluan.

Ning Fengluan has an exceptionally long nail on her right little finger.

A closer look reveals that the finger is much shorter than the ring finger next to it. If the nails are left longer, it will look less out of place.

The words "brachydactyly" flashed through her mind.

Go see Zhong again.

Zhong's ring finger and little finger were both wearing gold finger rings inlaid with pearls and jade, so it was impossible to tell the length of her fingers.

But...why does she wear gloves?

A sarcastic smile appeared on Feng Qingsui's lips.

This mother and daughter have such obvious genetic characteristics, but they were able to hide it for so many years. It's really... incredible.

After the banquet, everyone moved to the theater to watch the performance.

The opening is a monkey show.

"These monkeys were domesticated by our Master Xuan. They can dress themselves, pour tea, paint, and bow..."

After the emcee finished his introduction, a dozen monkeys grabbed their clothes and hats and jumped onto the stage, performing lifelike acts.

Everyone watched intently.

Wuhua suddenly came over and whispered to Feng Qingsui, "There's a little monkey peeking out the door at the theater. Lady Ningguo's maid is heading for the door."

Feng Qingsui's eyebrows moved slightly.
