Chapter 331: Your mother ran out in disheveled clothes
When Mrs. Xie Hou said this, her throat tightened.
She looked around and lowered her voice: "They suspect your biological father is..."
Mrs. Xie Marquis mouthed three words.
Xie Yingmian's eyes changed.
She thought of many answers.
But I never thought that the answer would be this.
The three words that Mrs. Xie said were "It's Your Majesty."
"The old lady has always suspected that you are the daughter of that person. If you died with him, and if that person investigates thoroughly, the Xie family will not be able to hide it. No matter how reluctant the old lady is, she did not dare to get rid of you. Instead, she drove you and the wet nurse to the farm." said Mrs. Xie Hou.
Xie Yingmian looked solemn.
Xie Jingyun's diary clearly stated that the current emperor was infertile and was a eunuch.
However, the Xie family suspected that she was the emperor's daughter.
So, what went wrong?
"Xie Tao knows all this?" she asked.
Madam Xie Hou said, "I know."
"The Marquis knew it a long time ago, I only found out later."
"When I suggested you marry Prince Ling, the Marquis let it slip. It was only after I inquired that I learned that you might be Yu Lingye's niece. He was afraid that the Emperor would blame the Xie family if he knew that they had married you to Yu Lingye, so he hesitated for a long time."
"Later, he thought that if you married him, you would most likely be buried with him, so he made the decision."
Xie Yingmian sneered.
Xie Tao is a man who is really greedy for money and extremely disgusting.
She was certain that the original owner could not be the emperor's daughter, let alone Yu Lingye's niece.
"Why does Xie Tao think I am the emperor's daughter?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Mrs. Xie Hou didn't want to answer.
Xie Yingmian was not in a hurry either.
She drank her tea patiently.
Madam Xie and Xie Tao have already fallen out. If Madam Xie is not hopelessly stupid, she would know what to choose.
After drinking the third cup of tea, Mrs. Xie finally spoke.
"Many years ago, at a palace banquet, your mother went to change clothes (an elegant term for going to the restroom) with her close friend. For some reason, her close friend jumped from the upstairs and fell unconscious on the spot."
"She ran out in disheveled clothes and covered in blood."
"Many people saw it, and it looked like it had been abused."
"Xie Tao felt humiliated and furious, intending to arrest the man who had committed adultery with your mother. Before he could even enter, he saw the emperor, also in dishevel, emerging from the building."
"Plus, your mother was diagnosed with pregnancy a month and a half later, so Xie Tao began to suspect that you were the emperor's daughter."
"The Xie family didn't dare to do anything to your mother at first. They were afraid that the emperor would take a fancy to your mother and allow her to change her status and enter the palace. They also wanted to use this opportunity to rise to prominence."
"Even when your mother became pregnant, the emperor didn't respond. Old Madam Xie and Xie Tao thought the emperor was just being frivolous and favoring her. They didn't want the family scandal to be exposed, so they decided to kill your mother."
Xie Yingmian frowned slightly.
In other words, the Xie family inferred that the original owner was the emperor's daughter based on the fact that the original owner's mother and the emperor appeared in the same building, both in disheveled clothes?
That's really funny.
"Is my mother's close friend still alive?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Mrs. Xie Hou said, "Alive."
"You met her at the old lady's birthday party, and she even spoke for you."
Xie Yingmian immediately thought of the bright and elegant lady, known as Madam Liu.
"Mrs. Liu?"
Mrs. Xie Hou said, "It's her."
"She was with your mother at the time. She fell from the upstairs and hit her head. When she woke up, she didn't remember anything."
"I've said everything I need to say. I'm Xie Tao's second wife, so I don't know much about your mother. If you want to know more, you can go to your mother's family and ask."
"Can I have Baoyu's cloud skirt and silk quilt?"
"One hand pays the other hand receives the goods." Xie Yingmian said.
the next day.
The Xie family publicly burned and destroyed second-hand clothes and accessories.
All the items exhibited at Baibao Pawnshop are there, including the Yunyan skirt that has been auctioned off.
After the destruction, the Xie family gave money to the onlookers and claimed that it was a misunderstanding.
The Xie family put all the blame on the old woman who was in charge of the dowry and destroyed those things in public, and the reputation of the Xie family and Xie Baoyu was barely preserved.
Prince Ling's Mansion.
Wen Juexia, who was summoned to Feixue Mountain, has just returned.
After Wen Juexia heard Yumozuki talk about what had happened during this period, he felt so regretful that he slapped his thigh.
It’s such a pity that I didn’t get to experience these excitement in person.
"Sister Mianmian," Wen Juexia said, "The Xie family is such a bully. Asking them to pay a small amount of money is too easy for them. How about I find a few people and kill them in the dark of night?"
Xie Yingmian laughed and said, "Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?"
"The Xie family doesn't need us to do anything; it's already collapsed from within."
She let Hongyao into the Xie family and made her a concubine, but it was not just to praise and kill Hongyao.
The small pink pills used by Hongyao are addictive.
Not only Hong Yao is addicted, but Xie Tao and Xie Siye are also addicted.
It won't be long before the Xie family falls apart from within.
Xie Yingmian simply told Yu Lingye what Madam Xie Hou had told her.
Yu Lingye was still young at that time and had no memory of the palace banquet.
"I'll have someone investigate."
"I'll go see Madam Liu." Xie Yingmian said, "Madam Liu couldn't have jumped off the building for no reason. She should know the inside story."
Yu Lingye: "We will split into two groups."
Xie Yingmian said hello and asked someone to deliver the invitation to the Liu family.
Mrs. Liu was very surprised to learn that Xie Yingmian was coming to visit.
She put aside other things and made an appointment.
Xie Yingmian only took Wen Juexia to Liu Mansion.
Madam Liu had been waiting for a long time.
When Xie Yingmian arrived, she hurried to greet him.
"Your humble servant pays homage to Princess Ling." Behind Madam Liu, there were three young ladies.
They followed Madam Liu in paying their respects.
"Mrs. Liu, please don't be so formal." Xie Yingmian said with a smile, "Who are these three?"
Madam Liu said, "They are my daughters-in-law."
"They heard that Princess Ling was coming to our house, and they were all extremely curious. Now, they all came to pay their respects to you."
Xie Yingmian smiled and said, "The three ladies look somewhat similar to Madam Liu. I thought they were Madam Liu's daughters."
Madam Liu also laughed and said, "That's right. When we walk on the street, people always mistake us for mother and daughter."
Xie Yingmian exchanged a few pleasantries and went into the house with Madam Liu.
The three daughters-in-law took turns to serve, bringing tea and water, and were very attentive.
Before Xie Yingmian came to the Liu family, he specifically inquired about the family's personnel composition.
Mrs. Liu is the second wife.
The previous lady passed away, leaving behind three sons and one daughter. After the Liu family married Madam Liu, she did not give birth to her own children, but devoted herself to raising the four children.
Rumor has it that Mrs. Liu's stepchildren are very filial and treat her as their biological mother.
Mrs. Liu seemed to agree with this.
But Xie Yingmian always felt something was strange.
For example, the three people who took turns serving were more like monitoring than serving.
