Chapter 495 It’s not you
Xiao Jingzhan couldn’t understand.
Zhu Xuntao put his hand on his heart, which was beating wildly, and his face was pale: "Uncle Qian, why?"
Before Uncle Qian could answer Zhu Xuntao’s question, the Fifth Prince grabbed his collar with his uninjured left hand:
"When Zhu Yingyan was a child, did you accompany her to pick up a boy and take care of him for a few days?"
Uncle Qian: "..."
"Which boy?"
"Crown Princess, are you okay?"
Qiuyue and Zhu Huo didn't expect that the Crown Princess would be frightened so much after they left for a while.
When Qiuyue ran over and passed by the Fifth Prince, she couldn't help but say with wrinkled eyebrows:
"Uncle Qian has been following my Crown Prince's Consort. How could he have served the eldest lady?"
"Also, the only one who likes to pick up children and bring them home to raise is my Crown Prince's Consort. I was picked up by the Crown Prince's Consort to raise."
Zhuhuo's eyes rolled around, as if he understood that the Fifth Prince was looking for someone, and he had found the wrong person:
"I was also picked up by the Crown Prince's Consort to raise."
"My Crown Prince's Consort also picked up dozens of children, and they were raised in Yu'an Hall before."
"In the whole capital, apart from my Crown Prince's wife, there is no other person who likes to pick up children and raise them."
Zhu Xuntao, who likes to pick up children and raise them: "..."
Putting aside the strange conversation just now, Zhu Xuntao, who had calmed down a little, looked at Uncle Qian with embarrassment and confusion:
"Uncle Qian, has something happened to Aunt Xiaohua?"
Apart from Xiaohua and the child in her belly, Zhu Xuntao could not think of any other situation that would make Uncle Qian do such a thing to her.
Uncle Qian gritted his teeth and cried silently:
"Xiaohua was stupid. She was tricked out by her eldest brother and kidnapped when she was pregnant."
"The people who kidnapped Xiaohua sent me a letter, asking me to assassinate the Crown Prince's wife. If I didn't agree, I would have to wait to collect the bodies of Xiaohua and the child."
"They threatened me... saying that they would cut Xiaohua open before killing her... and take the child out..."
This was such a cruel and painful thing for Uncle Qian, who was just about to become a father.
Even if the other party wanted to kill Xiaohua and her child, they were not prepared to let them die a good death.
"I can't betray the Crown Prince's wife and kill her, but I can't do it..."
"So, I can only choose to die myself. Crown Prince's wife, please bury our family of three together..."
After saying this, Uncle Qian couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.
"Fifth Prince, let go quickly. Someone, come quickly, make sure to save the Fifth Prince's hand."
Zhu Yingyan was in no mood to care about the kidnapping and murder. She only cared about the Fifth Prince's right hand.
Therefore, Zhu Yingyan didn't take the question that the Fifth Prince asked Uncle Qian just now to heart.
"Husband..."
Knowing what happened, Zhu Xuntao could only ask Xiao Jingzhan for help, and then cast an angry look at the Fifth Prince!
It turned out that the Fifth Prince had set up a series of tricks for himself today, and Song Zichuan was even a smoke bomb deliberately thrown out in advance by the Fifth Prince.
Indeed, in this world, except Qiuyue and Uncle Qian, there is no one else who can be so close to her,
and it is because she and Xiao Jingzhan are on guard and have the opportunity to attack.
"I'll take care of it."
Xiao Jingzhan controlled his gaze from falling on the Fifth Prince, lest the Fifth Prince make arrangements in advance to transfer Xiaohua to another place.
Zhu Yingyan tore off her own wedding clothes just to treat the wound on the Fifth Prince's hand.
Seeing the Fifth Prince's flesh turned inside out and the deep wound that could see the bone, Zhu Yingyan's good mood for the day disappeared completely at this moment:
"Fifth Prince, don't worry, Doctor Yu is a skilled doctor, and he will definitely find a way to save your hand."
The Fifth Prince will not become a useless person!
It is not known whether Zhu Yingyan said this to comfort herself or the Fifth Prince.
But anyone who saw the Fifth Prince's hand injury would not believe Zhu Yingyan's words.
The Fifth Prince did not care about his own injury as much as Zhu Yingyan did. His attention seemed to be on Uncle Qian:
"What the little girl said just now is true. You only served Zhu Xuntao and never followed Zhu Yingyan?"
After growing up, his appearance changed a lot, so he never thought that
he could recognize the little girl at a glance after meeting her for more than ten years.
The man in front of him, called Uncle Qian, was different. He had seen him when he was a child, even though he was a little older and looked more mature.
But this face of Uncle Qian really existed in his memory. Uncle
Qian was now immersed in the great pain of losing his wife and children, and was unwilling to pay attention to the Fifth Prince at all.
He turned a deaf ear to the Fifth Prince's questions and only cared about his own sorrow.
Seeing Uncle Qian's reaction, the Fifth Prince lost all his patience:
"If you still want your wife and children to live, answer my question quickly."
"If it's any later, I guarantee that you will only see their corpses!"
Zhu Xuntao: "..."
Is the Fifth Prince confessing that he kidnapped Aunt Xiaohua?
Wait...
Why did the Fifth Prince keep asking Uncle Qian if he had ever picked up a little boy with Zhu Yingyan?
Uncle Qian: "!"
"As long as I answer your question, my wife and children will be fine even though they were wrong from the beginning? You lied to me?!"
The Fifth Prince's face darkened: "Then you can choose not to answer, as long as you are not afraid of their death!"
Uncle Qian took a breath and tried his best: "In my life, I have only followed two masters."
"One is the old master Zhu who has passed away for many years, and the other is the Crown Prince's Consort. I have never had any intersection with the eldest lady of the Zhu family."
The Fifth Prince frowned, as if he was doubtful, but also as if he understood. His eyes kept scanning Zhu Yingyan and Zhu Xuntao.
Finally, the Fifth Prince pulled his hand back from Zhu Yingyan's palms: "You lied to me!"
"When you were a child, you never saved me!"
He had found the wrong person, wrong from the beginning.
Zhu Yingyan wanted to deny: "I..."
"Save you?"
The Fifth Prince asked her this question in the bridal chamber, not to confirm that she was a kind woman who had done many good things and saved many people.
In fact, the Fifth Prince wanted to find the person who saved him when he was a child?
Zhu Yingyan looked at the Fifth Prince, then at Uncle Qian, and finally stared at Zhu Xuntao.
Zhu Yingyan understood the whole thing all at once.
No wonder, no wonder she has not thought of a way to get acquainted with the Fifth Prince, who was willing to come to her house to ask for her hand in marriage when her reputation was damaged.
But it turns out that the Fifth Prince never wanted to marry her, Zhu Yingyan, but the little girl who saved him in his childhood!
This little girl happened to be Zhu Xuntao!
