Chapter 136 The Secret of the Rainy Night



"Tell me, where did you get this last child?" The tyrant had never expected that after two months of investigation, he would unexpectedly discover an extremely important clue today.

"I picked it up on a street in the north of the city on a rainy night. It was not stolen. It was really not stolen. Your Majesty, please understand." The thin girl kowtowed.

My brain skin is all worn out.

She was particularly impressed by this child, the only one whose origin was unknown and who was picked up by her.

As for who Xu gave the child to and where she sent the child to, she had no idea.

The tyrant ordered the old woman to be taken away and executed immediately.

"Bang!"

The cup in the eldest uncle's hand fell and broke with a loud noise.

Aunt Xin glanced at him and said, "Master, what are you doing?"

[Hehe, my uncle is panicking]

[Of course I was panicking. It was a rainy night and North City Street was the deepest secret in my uncle’s heart.]

The tyrant's mind was beating fast.

Does my uncle have anything to do with this?

As the great tyrant glanced at him coldly, the uncle turned pale with fear, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me. I did not participate in it. I did not participate in it at all."

"Then why are you panicking?"

The eldest uncle's face fell.

How should he explain it?

The Tyrant's sword-like eyebrows moved slightly, and his face showed no emotion. "Uncle, up to now, you seem to have not explained to me why you want to buy a child."

"It's for the purpose of getting a child. This matter has nothing to do with what the mother-in-law said."

The more the uncle-in-law said this, the more suspicious the tyrant became.

[Tsk tsk tsk, what a wheel of fate. If the secret is not revealed, my uncle’s good deeds will be ruined. He will not be able to have descendants in this lifetime.]

[If my uncle can figure it out, solve the secret, and get rid of the evil karma, I can help him...]

Noticing that the atmosphere was not right, Concubine De looked at her uncle and sighed, "Uncle, as a woman, I have something to advise you."

The eldest uncle nodded blankly, "Your Highness, you are too polite. Your Highness, please speak frankly."

"God is watching what you do. The Grand Uncle's family has been in turmoil recently. His sons are not happy and he cannot have children. Has Grand Uncle ever thought that maybe it is because he has not accumulated blessings to pass on to future generations that his descendants are dying out and the family line is about to be cut off?"

Defei's words made the uncle of the emperor extremely panic-stricken.

God is watching what you do...

Good fortune...

"If the Grand Uncle is not convenient to tell us, we might as well go and talk to Taoist Master Baiyun. What if, I mean what if, after that incident is over, the Grand Uncle's Mansion has descendants again, wouldn't that be a great joyous event?

If you can think of ways to adopt a child, why don't you try to resolve your own problems?"

[My mother is really considerate. She can think of what happened in the past from my uncle’s words.]

[My mother is really smart]

Defei lowered her eyes and smiled.

The eldest uncle's heart was pounding.

Concubine De is right.

In fact, he has thought about having another child over the years.

However, every time he thought about having a child, he couldn't help but think back to what happened that night.

He was so scared that he had no intention of asking for it.

"Uncle, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you are a grown man, but you are more nagging than a woman. If you have something to say, just say it. Even if the sky falls, I will still hold it up. Why are you hesitating?"

The eldest uncle sighed.

"I can make it clear in advance that no matter what happens, I will not hold you responsible."

The eldest uncle was relieved now.

Aunt Xin snorted, "Master, what are you hiding from us? Tell us now."

[He doesn’t dare to say it hahaha, how dare he say it?]

[I'm so anxious watching this, uncle needs some stimulation, watch me]

"Laugh...laugh...laugh." A Bao raised his head and tugged at the corner of his uncle's clothes.

The eldest uncle is in a state of panic.

"My little princess, your uncle is in trouble now. He definitely can't laugh." Aunt Xin didn't understand what Abao meant.

But the eldest uncle understood.

He quickly covered Abao's mouth.

"Mmmmm."

My dear, stop talking. Stop talking.

Oh my god.

How did this ancestor know Xiaoxiao?

[Xiaoxiao, hehe, this is the nickname of that girl]

The Great Tyrant and Concubine De looked solemnly at the Great Uncle.

Aunt Xin directly pulled the eldest uncle away.

"Don't look at me like that, I'll tell you what to do." The eldest uncle had sweat on his forehead before he finished speaking. "Speaking of which, it should have been 20 years ago, in the seventh month of the lunar calendar. It rained heavily that night. I drank too much and staggered to the North City Street at night. Then I fell drunk in front of a dilapidated temple and fell asleep."

The three of them looked at the eldest uncle.

The eldest uncle sighed heavily.

“That night, it was raining heavily and there was no one on the street. The raindrops fell on me and woke me up.

From a distance, I could vaguely see a carriage parked in front of the ruined temple.

The wind blew up hard, and it lifted the curtains of the car, and I…I saw…a pregnant woman.”

When the eldest uncle talked about this, his expression became serious.

The great tyrant listened attentively.

Twenty years ago, pregnancy.

Unborn child.

The third child is already twenty years old this year.

He didn't believe it could be such a coincidence.

"A pregnant woman gave birth to a child, and the child was taken away by the dead woman and given to Xu?" The tyrant couldn't help but ask.

The eldest uncle shook his head, "No, when I saw that woman, she was already dead.

It was like someone had ripped open her stomach and ripped the baby out alive.

There were two babies in the carriage at that time.

Because I was drunk at the time, all I heard were the two children crying."

He has often thought about this over the years.

It was definitely the voices of two children, not just one.

"I had a splitting headache and it was raining heavily, but when I heard the sound and went to see, I saw a child being held by a woman."

The tyrant asked anxiously: "Who is that woman?"

"Yun... Yunting."

The eldest uncle said this somewhat stiffly.

Several questions popped up in the tyrant's mind: "Who is Yun Ting? Isn't it that skinny woman?"

"No, the thin woman must have taken one away in advance, and when I went to see, the remaining one was held by Yunting.

She is Mr. Zhao’s wife, oh no, ex-...ex-wife.”

"The ex-wife of Ning'an Marquis Zhao Yin?"

Zhao Yin was a hereditary marquis.

A fourth-rank official.

The uncle nodded, "Yes, it's him, Zhao Yin."

The tyrant pondered, "I have heard about this man's ex-wife. I heard that he divorced his first wife and took the second wife in the mansion as his concubine."

[My goodness, isn’t this a typical role of a man who favors his concubine and destroys his wife?]

"My Lord, may I ask, the 'Yun Ting' you are referring to is the younger sister of Yun Ci, the wife of the Minister of Personnel, Lord Luo?"

The eldest uncle nodded, "It's her."

"De Fei, do you know Yun Ting?"

Concubine De nodded, "Back then, the Yun family was a wealthy merchant family that started out in the seafood business. The two girls from the Yun family were very famous in Beijing, and they were a pair of sisters.

My elder sister Yunci married into the Luo family, the vice minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

My younger sister Yunting married Lord Zhao of the Ning'an Marquisate.

Later, the Yun family's business ran into problems, and the family fell into poverty. Some died, some dispersed. Yun Ci was lucky, and Lord Luo treated her very well.

But my younger sister Yunting is different.

She’s having a very bad time.”
