Chapter 347 Parents
A couple claiming to be his parents came to his door.
On the first day after the girls' college was established, right after she finished her speech, in front of everyone.
"Zhao Di, we've finally found you! You have no idea how we've been all these years. Seeing you grow up so well, we can die in peace!"
"Yes, such a small girl and a person, lost for so many years, we've finally found her. Zhao Di, come home with us, your parents miss you!"
Jiang Dalang and Gong Shi cried so sincerely, it was truly a difficult journey they had taken.
Not to mention the hardships they endured along the way, when they finally arrived in Jiangnan, their belongings were stolen, and the couple had to sleep on the streets, almost starving to death.
Later, when he was starving, he stole a steamed bun and was almost beaten to death. Fortunately, in his desperation, Jiang Dalang shouted that his daughter was Lin Anyuan's adopted daughter.
A benefactor directly led them to find this little slut.
This little slut looks exactly like Chu Chu from back then; she's clearly a restless little whore.
After Gong finished speaking, she kept crying.
That little slut isn't their biological child; that important person already found out about it clearly.
The important person instructed that since we were going to acknowledge our kinship, we should cry.
From ancient times to the present, filial piety has always been paramount, and there are no parents who are wrong. She just didn't believe that this little girl could be so heartless towards her own family.
Daya's face was as cold as ice. "Since they are my biological parents, what evidence do you have to prove it?"
These two people actually showed up; I wonder who's behind this.
Daya's gaze swept over the people below the stage; they were all watching a good show.
Suppressing her anger, Madam Gong said, "You are our child, can't we prove that? I am your mother, I even know the birthmark on your body clearly. Zhao Di, what you are saying is like tearing out your parents' hearts."
This blatant threat made Chu Xiujie, who was sitting in the audience, look serious.
If the woman's birthmarks were mentioned in front of so many people, they would become fodder for gossip.
Chu Xiujie got up and walked to Da Ya's side. "You two have come from afar, you must be tired. Why don't you go home first, have a cup of hot tea, and eat your fill before we talk?"
"And who are you? What does our adoption of our daughter have to do with you? My daughter will naturally treat me well." Jiang Dalang looked at Chu Xiujie with a bluff, guessing the man's identity in his mind.
Gong nodded, "Yes, we won't go with you. What if you're a bad person?"
They were simply too scared because they had encountered so many bad people along the way.
Chu Xiujie smiled and said, "With so many people watching, what can I do to you? General Lin entrusted me to take care of his daughter, so of course I had to tell General Lin about such a big matter. In the current new laws, even the powerful and wealthy cannot kill people at will. You two can rest assured, nothing will happen to you."
Known as the old couple, Jiang Dalang and Gong Shi held their breath.
Then she looked at Daya and asked, "Zhaodi, are you unwilling to acknowledge us?"
I must make this wretched girl acknowledge them today, only then will it be worth all the hardships we've endured along the way.
“We haven’t seen each other for so many years. You suddenly came to our door. We should give the child some time to react, don’t you think?” Chu Xiujie paused and said, “Even if it were me, I would feel bad too.”
Some people below also spoke up, telling them to give the child some time.
Jiang Dalang and Gong Shi thought it made sense.
They have powerful backers, and since that wretched girl has already been found and so many people are watching, they figure no one would dare to do anything to them.
So Chu Xiujie personally led the man to Lin Anyuan's residence in Yangzhou.
After settling the person in and saying many kind words, he then came to find Daya.
"Why did you let people in?" Daya asked coldly.
Chu Xiujie said, "Since both of them claim to be your parents, we should keep them under our watchful eyes to avoid them being taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives."
They didn't come earlier or later, but they just happened to come on this particular day. Thinking about it, it's definitely not that simple. There are people watching them from behind. Keeping them at home is the most appropriate thing to do.
Daya breathed a sigh of relief. "You're right, Lord Chu. Thank you for your help today. You can go back now. I'll handle the rest myself. I'll thank you another day."
Chu Xiujie suddenly snatched the hairpin from the maid's head and, upon closer inspection, discovered the mechanism on it. "What is this?"
Da Ya's expression changed. "Chu Xiujie, give my things back!"
"You want to poison me."
After a brief examination, Chu Xiujie realized that the hairpin contained poison, a trick commonly used by courtesans in the past, which he had witnessed before.
Once discovered, Daya readily admitted, "That's right, it's a slow-acting poison that can kill someone silently."
She originally kept it for self-defense, and it came in handy today.
Chu Xiujie's face was grim. "Are you crazy? Everything you do leaves a trace. Today's incident has been witnessed by many people. Poisoning your own parents will be a stain on your reputation for the rest of your life."
"It's none of your business." Da Ya's eyes held a hint of mockery.
Chu Xiujie was almost laughing in anger at those four words. He was so angry that he wanted to grab the girl and give her a good beating.
But he simply couldn't.
Enraged, she gritted her teeth and said, "Even if it has to be done, it shouldn't be you. There are countless accidents that happen to a person from birth to death; it doesn't necessarily have to be poison."
Upon hearing this, Daya was surprised. "What do you want to do?"
Chu Xiujie put the hairpin away without returning it. "Keep them calm for the next few days. You'll see later. Remember not to do anything stupid."
After Chu Xiujie left, he summoned Chu Shi and asked him to investigate Jiang Dalang and his wife.
He was able to investigate, and he actually found quite a bit of information.
Not only was Da Ya not Jiang Dalang and his wife's biological daughter, but those two beasts even sold Da Ya, who was only eight years old, to a brothel.
Chu Shi looked at Chu Xiujie's expression and hesitated for a moment. "Boss, we've found out quite a few things. Are you sure you want to see them?"
"Look, I need to know the truth."
After Chu Xiujie finished reading them one by one, he slammed his fist on the table.
Those two beasts.
Selling such a young child to a brothel is bad enough, but Jiang Dalang actually had such disgusting thoughts; he's worse than an animal.
Chu Xiujie felt a surge of anger welling up inside him.
Just then, Chu Jiu arrived. "Boss, your parents are here, they're at the door."
