Chapter 389 Jingzhe's Life Story
Jingzhe was guarding the door well, but was suddenly hugged tightly by an old woman in shorts.
He could have broken free if he had tried hard, but when he saw the old woman's white hair and her crying, he softened his heart again.
I was also afraid that I might not be able to control my strength well and hurt someone. The only ones crying here were probably the families of the victims on the birthday list.
Well, since she had lost her child, he would lend her a shoulder to cry on.
But the old woman kept calling him "piggy", which made him feel really embarrassed.
What kind of family would give their child such a name? It’s really... It would be better to call their child Gouzi, Shanwazi or something like that.
While Jingzhe was daydreaming, the old woman hugged him even tighter, "Piggy, come home with grandma. Your mother is going crazy looking for you."
As she said that, she pulled Jingzhe out.
Jingzhe had to protect his own princess, so he hurriedly said, "Old man, you have the wrong person. I am from the Great Wei, not the piglet you are talking about."
But the old woman's hand was like an iron clamp, holding his wrist tightly. "You are my piglet, I will never mistake you. Don't you have a tuft of hair on your back, right in the middle of your spine?"
Jingzhe was shocked, "How did you know?"
There was indeed a patch of black hair on his back. When he was a child, he thought it was ugly and asked Dongzang to help him shave it off, but it grew back soon after.
"How could I not know? I was the one who delivered you myself. Your mother suffered a lot when she was pregnant with you. You were born weak, and your grandmother heard that giving you a humble name would make it easier to raise you.
Plus, your tuft of black hair looks just like the hair on the black piglets I saw when I was hunting, so I gave you this name."
Jingzhe was shocked, "But I am from the Great Wei?"
As far as he could remember, he had been in Wei. How could he be from Feng Zhao?
"And I was abandoned by my parents during the famine?"
Because of this, he hated his parents when he was a child. It was because his master and Dongzang were kind to him that he gradually let go of his hatred.
At this time, the old housekeeper of the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion finally squeezed over and said, "Young Master, you were not abandoned, you were abducted by human traffickers. Princess, your mother has never given up looking for you."
The princess he was talking about was the youngest daughter of the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. Because she had followed her father and brother to the battlefield and had made meritorious service, the late emperor praised her for being as brave as a man and bestowed upon her the title of Princess Changning.
Liao Xiaohua, who had squeezed in with them, knew Jingzhe and agreed, "Yes, yes, Princess Changning's child was indeed abducted by human traffickers."
The old lady of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery looked at Jingzhe with tears in her eyes. "You and your father are almost cut from the same cloth. Grandmother won't make a mistake."
The old housekeeper also nodded rapidly, "Yes, when the son-in-law came to ask for marriage, he was exactly the same age."
He felt very regretful. The prince and his men had been back in Fengzhao for quite some time, but the people in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion had never thought of going out for a walk. Otherwise, they would have found the young master long ago.
Seeing the two people's reactions, Jingzhe finally realized that he might really be the piglet that the old woman was talking about.
But he had a mission to accomplish right now, so it wasn't the time to say more, so he said, "I don't remember anything you said.
I'm working at the Prince's Mansion and am currently waiting for my Crown Princess. If you have time, you can wait until I return to the Prince's Mansion and then I can tell you in detail, okay?"
When his relatives came to visit him, he also wanted to know who he really was.
When Dongzang found his mother and sister, he was secretly envious.
"Okay, we'll wait for you, we'll wait for you." The old lady said hurriedly.
She had gone to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, but when she heard about the birthday list, she was furious and wanted to come and see what was going on. Unexpectedly, she found the child she had been thinking about day and night.
This is a loss of proportion.
Now after hearing Jingzhe's words, she realized that the surrounding area was full of the sound of scholars reading, and she had just disturbed them.
She hurriedly took the old housekeeper to the side, her eyes fixed on Jingzhe. She smoothed her white hair, which had been messed up by crying, and murmured, "Thank God, I finally found it."
The old housekeeper's eyes were red with excitement. He asked, "Madam, I will write to the princess later to tell her the good news and ask her to return home immediately. I don't know where the princess has found her yet."
Thinking of her daughter who had been away for nearly twenty years, the old lady hurriedly said, "It doesn't matter, Dahei can find her. Don't wait, write to Ning'er now and ask her to come back quickly.
Also notify the other people in the mansion and have them prepare well to welcome the piglets."
Dahei is the falcon raised by the old lady. It has a child named Xiaohei, who followed Princess Changning. Dahei can find Princess Caining by looking for Xiaohei. This is how they communicated with Princess Changning in the past.
The housekeeper nodded quickly and then asked hesitantly, "Should we notify the Madam?"
After the old marquis and his men died, the eldest lady of their family moved to the temple and only returned home during the holidays. Since the prince had an accident, the eldest lady rarely returned home.
(Note: Liang Yongan, in order to conceal the cause of Fu Zhuzhu's death, claimed that she died for love with the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. This refers to this family. The eldest lady here is the mother of the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.)
Normally, she should have been informed of such a happy event, but the prince had come to help find the young master in trouble. Now that the young master has been found, the prince...
The old lady pondered and said, "No need to notify us for now. We'll tell you later."
The eldest daughter-in-law would miss her son and feel even more sad when she saw him.
The old housekeeper received the order and told the old lady to be careful and then returned to the house. Then he heard the old lady say, "Bring me some clothes."
She was wearing clothes for farm work, as she was going to meet the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess later, so she didn't want to be rude, nor did she want the piglet to think that her grandmother was too shabby.
Although she didn't think her piglet was that kind of child, she still wanted to make a good impression.
Wei Qingyan heard about Jingzhe's story as soon as he finished his work. He was surprised but also happy for Jingzhe.
"Since they believe you are the one, then we should ask them thoroughly when we get back home. It would be a good thing if we could find our family."
After listening to Jingzhe's description of the whole process, she felt that it was almost certain. There were not many people who looked like their father and had a tuft of hair on their backs.
The Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is an old and meritorious family like the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhenbei. Back then, the old Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery led the Song family army to severely damage Chi Lie, forcing Chi Lie to sign a hundred-year ceasefire agreement with Feng Zhao.
It’s a pity that such a heroic family has become extinct and has been in seclusion for many years.
If Jingzhe is really the grandson of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery will have a bloodline inheritance.
I heard that Changning, the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, broke up with her husband's family and returned home with the body of her husband and the fetus in her womb. After she gave birth to a son in her mother's home, the son took her surname.
Although the specific details are unknown, what is certain is that if Jingzhe is really the piglet that the old lady mentioned, then his surname should be Song.
Thinking of this, Wei Qingyan couldn't help but think of the Prince of Loyalty and Bravery.
When she was trying to help Liang Fuzhu resolve her grievances, she had suspected that the accidents that happened to the Marquis of Zhongyong and Liang Fuzhu one after another were too coincidental.
Did Liang Yongan use the death of the loyal and brave Marquis' son to cover up the death of Liang Fuzhu, or was the death of the loyal and brave Marquis' son also part of the plan?
Now we know that Liang Fuzhu's death was planned by the Queen to control Liang Yongan and help Liang Yongan successfully inherit the title of Marquis of Zhenbei.
Wei Qingyan felt that the death of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was most likely the work of the Queen, because the benefit the Queen gained from this incident was the recovery of the Song family army.
So what about Jingzhe?
Jingzhe also has the surname Song. If there is no one in the Song family, and the Song family army supports him, he can also regain control of the Song family army.
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery said that Jingzhe was abducted by human traffickers. If the human trafficker was the Queen, how could the Queen allow Jingzhe to be with Shi Yu?
Is there anything else going on here?
Wei Qingyan became curious.
Looking at Jingzhe, whose face was faintly excited, she temporarily suppressed her doubts and planned to accompany Jingzhe to meet the old lady of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
But Liao Xiaohua knelt down in front of her and blocked her way.
