Chapter 159 Dead
Without even thinking, Wu said, "Dead!"
Xie Changning's breath hitched, "How did my child die?"
Wu's face flushed crimson as she gasped for breath. "Trying to take a living child out of the mansion would inevitably involve numerous risks. Taking a dead child is much easier. Before we even left the ancestral hall, Qin Xian had someone strangle the child to death."
Even though it had been speculated long ago, her child was very likely to have met with an accident.
But after hearing it with her own ears, Xie Changning still couldn't accept this reality. Her eyes were red, and she wanted to break Wu's neck. "Then what? Then where did they take my child?"
Wu gasped for air, "Then she had the child taken out of the mansion and dumped somewhere at random. Qin Xian told me all this herself, it's absolutely true. It was Qin Xian who killed your child. If you want revenge, go find her. It has nothing to do with me. Let me go quickly."
As she spoke she began to cough violently.
The guards from the Ministry of Justice were watching from the side.
Without Pei Zhi's order, who would dare to step forward to stop Xie Changning?
Xu looked at this scene, Shen Zhixu felt extremely happy in his heart.
He wanted to see what kind of ending Wu would have.
And what about that bitch Xie Changning? Even if she knew the truth of that year, what would it matter?
Her children had died long ago, perhaps eaten by rats or eaten by wild dogs.
Not to mention seeing her child, she couldn't even find the child's body.
Hahaha……
This was her retribution.
"How many of my children did you exchange? I remember clearly that after the children were born, Qin Xian asked someone to take the children to the ancestral hall. Did you exchange all my children?" Xie Changning asked sternly.
Wu was startled. She insisted, "Are you kidding me? How could you and I always get pregnant at the same time? Not to mention that Qin Xian is only coveting the title of Marquis, which has always been passed down to the eldest son. Why should we bother with this? If you find out, wouldn't it be self-defeating?"
"I can swear to heaven that, except for Shen Zhixu, the others are all your biological children."
If it weren't for Shen Zhixu, who ruthlessly killed the master and Hui'er, she would never reveal his identity even if she died.
Even though Zhiyan and Jingshu refused to recognize her, as a mother, she not only did not blame them, but instead hoped that they would live well.
She would never allow other children to become the evil offspring that others would call her, like Shen Zhixu.
Listening to her words, a light flashed in Shen Zhixu's eyes. Perhaps he could use this as a bargaining chip...
"Oh? Really? Unfortunately, I don't believe a word you said. Why don't you bring the other children here and do a blood test with you to see if they are related. Then we will know the answer." Xie Changning slowly let go of Wu.
"Madam, this is a good idea. I will go and bring the person over right away." Mother Du turned and left.
Wu's eyes suddenly widened. "Madam Hou, everything I said is true. If I lie even a little, I will die a miserable death. If you don't believe me, I am willing to die to prove my loyalty."
As she spoke, she ran towards the pillar beside her.
With the guards from the Ministry of Justice here, how could she succeed?
Pei Zhi gave a look and the guards beside him immediately stopped Wu.
Wu was extremely anxious. "Madam Hou, please believe me. There is really only Shen Zhixu, and he is my child..."
"In that case, why are you in such a hurry?" Xie Changning glanced at her indifferently.
Just then, Qin Yi was brought up. Compared to when Xie Changning first met her, her eyes were now clear and bright, no longer as crazy as before. It can be seen that the imperial physician's medical skills are still very advanced.
"I asked Madam to come here because I want to confirm something with you. Do you still remember what the dead fetus looked like?" Pei Zhi asked.
As soon as he said this, Qin Yi's expression suddenly became a little strange, and he was obviously irritated.
"Madam, the baby you gave birth to was not a stillborn baby. Instead, Qin Xian asked someone to take a stillborn baby and exchange it for your child. Don't you want to know the truth of that year?" Xie Changning raised his eyes and looked at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi calmed herself down and then slowly said, "I remember clearly. That child was covered in bruises, especially his limbs and lips. It looked like he was stillborn and then delivered. But my child was born breathing."
Pei Zhi glanced at Mother Wei.
Mother Wei didn't dare to hide it. "Mrs. Ye is right. The child died in the womb, so it's all blue and purple."
Qin Yi burst into tears. "So my child is still alive, but he's Qin Xian's child. He's Shen Wenyuan, Marquis of Jing'an, right?"
Mother Wei nodded.
"My child, my child..." Qin Yi was filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Everyone was infected by her emotions and couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
"Mrs. Ye is so innocent! She has been crazy for so many years because of this child!"
The pain of separation between mother and child cannot be described in words.
What's more, after separation in life, what she waited for was separation in death.
"Mother, what happened? Why did you ask Mother Du to bring us to the Ministry of Justice?" Soon, Mother Du brought Shen Zhiyan and others, and Shen Zhizhou asked in confusion.
