At this time, several children came back from releasing turtles by the river.
"I told you they would intercept it downstream and sell it back and forth. You, a fool, didn't believe me and kept giving them money."
"Second cousin, are you too stingy? Didn't your second uncle give you any pocket money?"
"Even if we are richer than him, it is all the hard work of our ancestors. Money should not be wasted, and kind people should not be foolishly kind. Do you understand? You little fool!"
"Especially your family. Do you know how dangerous the battlefield is? Your uncle is risking his life to earn your inheritance!"
"Second cousin is right, Ah You, you can't be so extravagant in the future, understand?"
"I understand, big sister..." Rong Yuanyou nodded naively, "The money in our family was earned by my father with his life, so we can't spend it carelessly."
"lady--"
Just as they reached the shed, an old lady rushed to Rong Xuqing, knelt on the ground and cried.
"Madam, you are still alive. It's great that you are still alive..."
“…………”
"Mom, mom, what are you doing? Let me go." The man hurriedly went up to pull the old lady.
But the old lady held on to the hem of Rong Xuqing's skirt tightly, and kept repeating words like "It's so good that she is alive".
"Madam, Miss, I'm sorry. My mother has been losing her memory lately and is confused. I didn't mean to offend you..."
The man quickly knelt down and apologized.
"It's okay, just help the old man up first." Rong Xuqing said in a gentle voice.
Two guards stepped forward and pulled the old woman away.
The moment Rong Chaoxi saw the old woman's face clearly, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Um, um... Grandmother..."
The little guy was so excited that he couldn't speak.
[She was my grandmother's former maid. She is a witness and can prove that the old man wanted to kill someone!]
Qin Nan looked at Xu Qing quietly, and both mother and daughter looked stern.
Rong Yuanyou pulled out half a piece of hawthorn from his mouth and glared at him fiercely.
…
Bring the person back to the general's mansion.
Qin Nanjing questioned her carefully and found out that the old woman had indeed left Kyoto City more than 30 years ago to escape disaster.
Thirty-three years ago, shortly after Rong Baichuan was born, the old woman discovered that the old man was giving her, Gu Yan, a chronic poison.
She was very smart and knew that if the lady died, the maids around her would be dealt with regardless of whether they knew about it or not.
So, before Gu Yan's death, she found a way to escape from Annan Marquis Mansion, stay away from Kyoto City, and changed her name so that she could live safely until this moment.
Rong Xuqing inherited Rong Baichuan's appearance and looked very similar to Gu Yan.
The old woman already had dementia and her memory was declining. Now she only remembered things from her youth, so she mistook Rong Xuqing for Gu Yan.
"Madam, the Marquis wants to harm you, you must run away quickly..." The old woman suddenly pounced on Rong Xuqing.
"Mother..." The man quickly pulled her back, "She is Miss Rong, not Madam."
"She is Madam, that is Madam. I dress her, how could I have made a mistake?"
"No, she really isn't..." The man avoided looking at the distinguished person present.
"Yanzhu, arrange for them to stay first." Qin Nanjing said, "Let the court doctor go and see the old lady."
The old woman is mentally ill and needs to be cured in order to become a witness.
"yes."
Yan Zhu took the five people away and sent a few people to guard them.
Rong Baichuan got the news and rushed back on horseback.
The evidence he had been looking for was finally found, and his eyes were red with excitement.
"Jingniang, where is the person?"
The two went to the guest room, where the court doctor was seeing a patient.
"Is that her?"
When Rong Baichuan walked into the room, the old woman saw his face and fell off the bed, kneeling on the ground.
"Madam, please spare me. I have never harmed you. It was the Marquis. It was the Marquis who killed you. Go find him, go find him..." The old woman knelt on the ground and trembled.
Her condition was sometimes good and sometimes bad. She just remembered that not long after she left, she heard the news of the death of the Marquis's wife. Now she mistook Rong Baichuan for Gu Yan's soul.
After letting the court doctor leave, Rong Baichuan asked,
"It was Marquis Annan who killed her... Did you see it with your own eyes?"
His eyes were bloodshot and his hands were clenched into fists, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Yes... yes... I saw it with my own eyes. He poisoned your medicine. They also wanted to poison the young master to death."
"No...it's not that I didn't want to save the young master. You were already dying at that time, and I still wanted to live. I still wanted to live."
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, go find the Marquis, go find him..."
The old woman's hoarse voice showed her fear. She pressed her forehead to the ground and did not dare to look up.
At that time, Gu Yan was dying. Realizing that she wanted to escape in the chaos, she wanted her to take the child with her.
She just wanted to save her own life at the time and refused cruelly.
"Okay, okay...hahahaha..." Rong Baichuan broke down in laughter, "Rong Yao, I will definitely destroy everything you care about and leave you with no complete body!"
He thought he would not feel anything if he had known this earlier, but he was shocked to hear again how his biological father had cruelly harmed him and his son.
Rong Baichuan's heart was torn apart once again.
"Husband, husband..." Qin Nanjing hugged him tightly, "Don't think about the past, think about the present. You have us now, you still have us..."
"Jingniang, Jingniang..." Rong Baichuan hugged Qin Nanjing and sobbed.
…
Outside the door.
Rong Xuqing also burst into tears.
"Don't cry, big sister. Grandma is fine now." Rong Chaoxi wiped her tears and said, "When she gets better, Chaoxi will bring Grandma back to see Daddy."
Although her soul was severely damaged, she has recovered a lot under the care of Du Niang and will soon be able to come up and reunite with her family.
"Well...Okay, don't cry, sister." Rong Xuqing wiped away her tears. "It's getting late, let's go prepare dinner."
The current situation of the adults in the family is not suitable for doing anything else.
After Rong Xuqing arranged everything, he asked someone to ask for leave for the morning court tomorrow.
…
After dinner, Rong Chaoxi went back to his room early, which was unusual for him.
After urging Mingxia and Luokui to go out, the little guy lowered the bed curtain and took out four big meat buns from his arms.
She kept it in her arms, still smelling a little warm and fragrant.
He put his nose close to it and sniffed it, and the little guy's saliva was flowing, and his eyes were staring blankly.
"No, no, you can't eat it at Chaoxi. This is for my eldest brother and my cousin."
The little guy warned the greedy Rong Chaoxi.
Licking her lips, she resisted the urge to touch her mouth.
He stretched out a finger and gently cut a small hole in the starry sky in front of him.
The little fellow squinted one eye and leaned forward to look inside. Seeing the patrolling soldier leave, he stuffed two buns into the small gap.
Then switch to the other side and stuff two more in.
"Hey, big brother and cousin, eat your fill. Chaoxi will bring you chicken legs tomorrow." After a pause, she added, "If Chaoxi has any left after he finishes eating."
