There is a hidden story behind Chapter 270!

Lu Er panicked and quickly caught the old lady. He patted her back and pinched her philtrum, but the old lady didn't wake up. He said to Lu Da anxiously:

"Brother, please invite Langzhong here quickly!"

Lu Da's mind was still on the two banknotes. When he saw Zhiluo gave the banknotes to Yun Qingqing, he immediately said angrily:

"I don't know what dispute you have with my mother, but this 110 taels of silver note is what you should pay, return it to me now!"

Yun Qingqing sneered:

"Your mother hired thugs to kidnap people and almost sold Jingyao out, and she hasn't even settled the score yet. Since this money is her reward, let her come to her senses and ask for it from me herself. I want to see if she still has the nerve to ask for the money!"

Lu Da's face darkened and he wanted to say something else, but seeing more and more villagers blocking the gate of the courtyard, accusing them one after another, he said nothing more and was quickly pulled away by his wife.

Lu Er didn't expect that his elder brother would ignore his mother. He looked at Yun Qingqing anxiously and pleaded:

"It was my mother who was wrong today. After all, she is old. Please do not report to the police for the sake of Miss Jingyao being fine. Allow me to ask the doctor to treat her! We don't want the more than one hundred taels of silver. Can we consider it as compensation to you all?"

Yun Qingqing looked at him and sighed lightly:

"Don't worry, the old lady is fine. Send her back to the house first. I have something to tell you."

Lu Er immediately did as he was told and sent Old Mrs. Zhao back to her room.

Yun Qingqing asked someone to bring Jingyao over again. She gently touched her forehead, and Jingyao slowly opened her eyes, regained consciousness, and looked around in a daze.

"This... Why am I here? What happened?"

"Just be patient." Yun Qingqing patted her hands, "Just listen."

Jingyao nodded obediently and stepped aside.

Yun Qingqing then looked at Lu Er and said in a deep voice:

"I think you'd better get all the facts before deciding whether to report it to the police."

"...What do you mean?" Lu Er was stunned. Looking at her expression, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Don't you find something strange?" Yun Qingqing said, "Since Jingyao's visit to her in the middle of the night was completely made up, then she naturally couldn't have listened to Jingyao's story about losing her parents when she was young and growing up in a brothel."

When Lu Erjing was reminded of this, he remembered that his mother had indeed said this when she first described the process of losing the banknote. His expression paused, and he suddenly realized that his unconscious mother in his arms seemed to stiffen.

His heart skipped a beat, and he said without much confidence:

"This... maybe she heard Miss Jingyao say this some other time..."

Yun Qingqing sneered:

"Jingyao has been studying those instruments with you all afternoon. You should know best whether she could have told the old lady about these things in person!"

Lu Er was silent for a moment, and said in confusion:

"You mean my mother already knew Miss Jingyao? But they don't look like they know each other at all... And even if they do know each other, what does that prove?"

"Your mother just didn't recognize her at first, but when she was talking to Jingyao yesterday, she saw this and recognized her immediately."

Yun Qingqing pulled Jingyao's arm and lifted up a bit of her left sleeve.

A birthmark as red as a plum blossom suddenly appeared in front of them.

Zhiluo exclaimed "Huh?" It was the first time she saw the birthmark on the little girl, and it looked quite pretty.

But the moment Lu Er saw the plum blossom shape, he was struck by lightning and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Yun Qingqing put her sleeves back on, looked directly at him and said:

"This is not the first time Zhao Guihua has met this child, because Jingyao was sold to a brothel by her!"

"Jingyao was just a baby at that time. After so many years, she certainly couldn't recognize her at first. However, yesterday afternoon, she saw the birthmark on Jingyao's hand. When she thought of the name 'Jingyao', which she hadn't paid much attention to before, she was sure that she was the baby she sold that year!"

Lu Ershi listened to her words in a daze, as if he had lost his mind, and walked towards Jingyao in a daze.

"How could it be...you...you are..."

Yesterday afternoon, Jingyao only felt that this uncle was very kind and was already familiar to him. But now seeing him like this, she felt confused and a little scared, and could not help but shrink behind Yun Qingqing.

Lu Er came back to his senses and stopped, looking at Yun Qingqing helplessly.

Yun Qingqing glanced at Old Lady Zhao, who was sweating on her forehead, and said coldly:

"Zhao Guihua had evil intentions when she recognized her, and she thought of hiring someone to kidnap her and frame her. In fact, extorting money was secondary. Her real purpose was to make Jingyao disappear."

"Just like what she did to Jingyao's mother more than ten years ago!"

"What did you say!" Lu Er was shocked!

He stared at Jingyao blankly, his voice trembling:

"She...she can't be..."

"Nonsense!" Old Lady Zhao suddenly opened her eyes and shouted angrily, "I didn't see any plum blossom birthmark! What does this little girl's mother have to do with me! Stop making up stories, woman!"

"Oh?" Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows. "I just mentioned the birthmark, but I didn't mention that the birthmark was in the shape of a plum blossom."

Mrs. Zhao was stuck for a moment:

"Then, maybe I just heard it wrong..."

Seeing that she was still refusing to admit it, Yun Qingqing sneered, raised her hand and threw a mantra at her.

"You really don't know who this child's mother is? And why did she become an orphan?" Yun Qingqing looked at her seriously and asked.

Mrs. Zhao wanted to deny it without hesitation, but when she opened her mouth she said:

"Of course I know!"

"I found out yesterday that this damn girl was actually the daughter of that bitch Luo Ying. Who knows if she knew the truth and came here to take revenge on me! Of course I have to strike first!"

Lu Er was stunned and looked at Old Lady Zhao:

"Mom, what do you mean by that? What happened back then? Yingying really didn't abandon me, right? Tell me now!"

Old Mrs. Zhao took a breath and said in panic:

"No, listen to me... Luo Ying, that bitch, is just an orphan, why do you have to have her? If she hadn't interfered, you would have married the only daughter of the county magistrate back then, and our family would have gotten rid of this poor and remote place long ago!"

"I finally managed to sell her off when you were not at home, but you never recovered from that and vowed never to marry again! Alas, if a child is not your own, then you are not considerate..."

Old Mrs. Zhao suddenly covered her mouth.

There was so much information in her words that Lu Er felt like his world was turned upside down and his head was buzzing!

It was Zhiluo's sneer that broke the silence in the room:

"No wonder you let your second son support you and manage the money he earns, while secretly giving all the subsidies to your eldest son! It turns out you treat him like a blood bag. Only you and your eldest son are a family!"
