Chapter 158 Where is my child?
For a moment, everyone looked at Shen Zhixu's wrist.
Shen Zhixu had noticed this change a long time ago, and he subconsciously wanted to cover it up, but the guard next to him was quick-witted and grabbed his wrist.
Everyone saw it clearly.
The birthmark on his wrist had obviously become much lighter, and was visibly fading.
"The birthmark on his wrist is indeed fake. This means he is not the Marquis's child! Instead, he is the illegitimate offspring of Qin Kaiji and Wu."
"Qin Xian has done so many evil things that she has forced Madam Hou to raise someone else's child for so many years. Madam Hou is so pitiful."
“…”
Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Shen Zhixu felt his head buzzing. The thing he feared most had finally happened.
From today on, everyone knows that he is not the son of a marquis at all, but the illegitimate child of Qin Kaiji and Wu!
Coupled with what happened between Qin Xiao and Qin Xian, his existence itself is a huge shame.
"You are really not my child!" Looking at the birthmark on his wrist, Xie Changning's face suddenly lost color. She looked shaky, and Mother Du quickly supported her.
She pushed Mother Du away and walked step by step to Shen Zhixu, staring at his wrist, tears falling in big drops.
"I never thought that after raising you for more than 20 years, you would be someone else's child in the end."
"Mother..." Shen Zhixu knelt in front of her with his knees weak.
"Pa!" He had just opened his mouth when Xie Changning slapped him. "Shut up! You're not worthy of calling me that. Wu is over there. She's your mother. Don't mistake her for someone else."
"The grace of raising me is as great as the sky. Even though mother refuses to recognize me, in my heart, I will always have only one mother, and that is you. I am innocent in this matter. I beg mother to see that I have never hurt you, and I have never done anything that is detrimental to the Marquis's Mansion. Please don't abandon me, okay?" Shen Zhixu burst into tears. He reached out and grabbed Xie Changning's sleeve as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw.
Everything he did has been exposed. Now he has no way out. According to the law, he must die.
But he doesn't want to die.
Even if he is disgraced, he still wants to survive in this world.
With the memories of his previous life, he might have a chance to turn the tide.
Xie Changning is a very soft-hearted person. As long as she is willing to protect him, he will definitely be able to escape death.
Besides, what was wrong with what he said?
He was the most innocent one in this matter.
He was still an infant at the time. Could he decide his own birth, or influence the decision of Qin Xian and Wu?
So, what did he do wrong?
His mistake was that he was reborn in Wu's womb.
Xie Changning coldly brushed his hand away, "You're wrong. You were never my child. I have nothing to do with you. And the innocent one was never you, but my poor child."
Whenever she thought of her child, her heart ached.
Pei Zhi looked at her intently, his eyes were deep, and a hint of pity flashed across them.
Then his gaze fell on Wu and Shen Zhixu, and his eyes became increasingly dark.
Damn them...
"After all, I have called you mother for more than 20 years. How can you be so heartless to me?" Shen Zhixu fell to the ground with a deathly pale face. He did not expect that Xie Changning would not have any feelings for him at all.
This time, he is dead...
"It's true that you have called Madam mother for more than 20 years, but why don't you tell me that Madam has raised you for more than 20 years. Even if it's a dog, it should be tamed by now. You ungrateful person, have you ever thought of Madam's kindness?" Mother Du rushed forward in anger and slapped him hard several times.
Xie Changning didn't even glance at Shen Zhixu, who was just a dying man. She glared at Wu with a sharp gaze, "The Marquis' Mansion is heavily guarded, especially when I was giving birth. There were so many people around me. How could Qin Xian and you exchange my child?"
In fact, she already had a guess in her mind, she just wanted a definite answer.
At this point, what else did Wu have to hide? "You gave birth a day before me, which gave us ample time to prepare. Madam Hou, do you still remember that the day after you gave birth, Qin Xian took the child to the ancestral hall under the pretext of letting the ancestors of the Shen family meet the heir to the Marquis's mansion. The ancestral hall is a very important place. Apart from her, who else besides your servants has the right to enter?"
"You would never have imagined in your dreams that she had exchanged your child for hers right there in the Shen Family Ancestral Hall."
Sure enough, things turned out to be exactly as she had guessed!
Xie Changning rushed to Wu's front, grabbed her by the neck, and angrily asked word by word, "Where is my child? Where did you take my child?"
