Although Mr. Qiu said those words, Mrs. Qiu was not comforted.

Ultimately, she was just feeling guilty.

After Xu Nian returned, he told her about what had happened that day.

"Master, you didn't see it, but I found out later that if we hadn't arrived in time, Madam Qiu might have sent people to take action. I don't know what Master Qiu and Madam Qiu were thinking. They are blind and don't love their capable eldest daughter. They only favor their younger daughter. I feel heartbroken just looking at them. They say that parents are always worried about their children, but parents like this are rare."

Bobo casually said, "Maybe he's not even my biological son!" He didn't mean it when he said it.

Xu Nian's expression froze.

"No way?"

But then again, it's not impossible!

Logically speaking, if Qiu Wen was born from Mrs. Qiu's womb, then Mrs. Qiu would never have been able to ignore her daughter for more than ten years.

They're even worse than strangers.

Bobo finally realized what was happening.

Since you have suspicions, then investigate. He's read those storybooks, and they contain tales of switching the prince for a cat; it's not impossible in reality.

"Go and investigate, but don't let the Qiu family find out."

If it's true, then since they were willing to give up their own daughter, the family that swapped the daughter must be more powerful than the Qiu family, otherwise they wouldn't have done it.

"Yes, Master."

Qiu Wen had her suspicions and asked someone to investigate, but her connections in this area were limited. Before she could even make a move, Xu Nian's people noticed and Xu Nian secretly helped her.

"Have you found the midwife who delivered my baby back then?"

Luo Xue sighed and said, "The people I sent over there said that the midwife left not long after she delivered the young lady's baby. She moved her whole family away, and no one knows where they went. Even the midwife's relatives don't know. It's as if they disappeared overnight."

Luo Xue knew that her mistress was investigating this matter. She initially thought her mistress was joking, but how could this be? Putting aside everything else, if you look closely, her mistress and the madam do have some similarities.

But the results of this investigation shocked Luo Xue. Ordinary midwives don't just disappear without a trace, let alone disappear so completely.

Luo Xue gradually came to accept her mistress's guess.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Wen became somewhat certain that the woman's background was indeed extraordinary, but the midwife's whereabouts were unknown, and she had no evidence.

As for blood-drop kinship testing, that's too unreliable. She studied biology and knows that as long as the blood types are the same, the blood can dissolve in water.

Therefore, evidence is still needed.

"In that case, first send someone to investigate and see if they can find out the midwife's whereabouts. Then ask the old servants in the mansion if they can find out what happened when I was born. Make sure to find out everything, no matter how small. Also, have someone carefully inquire so that no information leaks out."

Luo Xue: "Yes, this servant understands."

At the Qiu family mansion, Mr. and Mrs. Qiu were still somewhat worried. Although they had handled the matter well back then, there is a saying that even the most meticulous plans can have oversights.

The midwife who delivered the baby back then has run away, and they don't know where she went. They didn't leave any survivors among those who knew about it back then. Over the years, they left the Qiu family one after another and disappeared from the world for various reasons.

Fortunately, not many people knew the truth, so it didn't cause a stir, and others just thought it was an accident and didn't think much of it.

That night, the couple slept together, a rare occurrence. Then, Mr. Qiu said to Mrs. Qiu, "Pay close attention to this matter and see if there are any oversights."

After all, if it were really discovered, it would be a big deal for the other party, as confusing bloodlines is no small matter.

"Yes, sir, don't worry!"

Even if she didn't say anything, she would still pay close attention. After all, it's not a small matter. If it were really found out and people took it to heart, the Qiu family isn't a very powerful family, and they could wipe them out in no time.

After a while, when Master Qiu was almost asleep, Madam Qiu said, "Master, do you think we should contact that person?"

Master Qiu said, "No need. It's not something others would easily think of. It's not like we're just making people pay attention. Maybe it's just a false alarm. The prince is just scaring himself."

Madam Qiu nodded, though she was still uneasy, but she remained silent. As for whether she could fall asleep, she didn't know.

In a large mansion in the capital, in the mansion of Faka.

A teenager is being scolded in the study.

"Tell me, what can you do all day besides causing trouble?"

“Father, it’s not my fault.”

“It’s not your fault. They’ve already complained to my family and thrown the evidence in my face. How can you say it’s not your fault? I think I’ve spoiled you too much. Tell me, how did I end up with a son like you?”

His tone was full of frustration and disappointment. His ex-wife had left him with a son before she died, whom he was supposed to take good care of, but the son had turned out to be a bad boy, hanging out with a bunch of spoiled brats, playing with cats and dogs, and doing nothing of interest.

The emperor values ​​talented people. In the past, he could find good jobs for them through his connections, but now it's not so easy. And yet, he doesn't strive for advancement.

This was his first son, and the child entrusted to him by his ex-wife on her deathbed. Because of this, none of the wives who came into the family after him were able to give birth to a son. He was afraid that this son would suffer, but he didn't understand his good intentions at all.

Thinking of his ex-wife, Faka felt another pang of sadness. If it weren't for him, his ex-wife wouldn't have passed away so soon after their child was born.
