Chapter 544: Shi Yuqing's Life Experience
Xie Yingmian and the others remained silent, waiting quietly for Shi Yuqing to process her emotions.
Shi Yuqing likes to cry very much.
I like to cry first when something happens.
But she is also very strong, like a little bitter flower that is soft on the outside but strong on the inside.
Shi Yuqing quickly digested the negative emotions.
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure," she said. "This letter was left to me by my mother."
She handed the letter to Xie Yingmian.
"Princess, I really don't know how to begin. Please read it yourself."
Xie Yingmian opened the letter.
When he saw the first line of words, his expression became serious.
"Yumo, Zhuyue, please accompany Lady Shi and Brother Fang for a while. I'm leaving for a while."
"Yanqing, come with me."
Xie Yingmian walked quickly to the study.
Yu Lingye saw Xie Yingmian's serious expression and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What happened?"
"There are two major events." Xie Yingmian said.
"Mrs. Shi's husband is Fang Chenjing, who took the imperial examination three years ago. Fang Chenjing was the top scorer in the local prefecture. He is exceptionally talented and has the potential to be the top scholar."
"Fang Chenjing disappeared after the Autumn Examination and has not been heard from since. Shi Niangzi's husband's family was wiped out overnight."
"Mrs. Shi and her brother-in-law luckily survived. They went to file a complaint, but both the county and prefectural governments advised them to give up, hinting that the Fang family had offended someone they shouldn't have."
"They both came to the capital to file a complaint with the emperor."
“That’s the first big thing.”
Yu Lingye subconsciously thought of the Mu Mansion's manipulation of the imperial examination.
Fang Chenjing should be one of the victims.
That's a coincidence.
Xie Yingmian said: "The second important thing is this."
She placed the letter from the bronze mirror's compartment on the table.
"The development of the matter is a bit unexpected, you can see for yourself."
Yu Lingye and Shen Tingsi took turns reading the letter and fell into silence.
Xie Yingmian sighed deeply: "How did you say that?"
"You search high and low for something, but it comes to you effortlessly."
"No, the more appropriate description here is that there is no coincidence."
"We never thought that Feng Qing was not the daughter of the Feng family. The real daughter of the Feng family is Shi Yuqing."
The letter in the interlayer of the bronze mirror describes the life stories of Shi Yuqing and her mother.
Shi Yuqing's mother is Feng Yankai's eldest daughter-in-law, Yun.
Shi Yuqing is Feng Yankai's granddaughter.
The letter said that on the night the Feng family was wiped out, there were lightning, thunder and heavy rain.
Shi Yuqing developed a high fever for some reason.
She cried incessantly until she almost died, and the court doctor was helpless.
An experienced nanny said that the child's eyes are clean and bright, and he can easily see unclean things. Perhaps he has encountered something dirty and needs to find a nanny to help him get rid of it.
Yun was afraid that Shi Yuqing would cry herself to death, so she didn't dare wait for the goddess to come.
Without even having dinner, he took his wet nurse and braved the heavy rain to go to the home of the famous Shen Ma in Shangjing.
The goddess performed a soul-collecting ritual for Shi Yuqing, and it was not until the late night that Shi Yuqing finally fell into a deep sleep.
The rain was heavy, and there were still flashes of lightning and rumbling thunder.
Yun was afraid that the loud thunder would scare Shi Yuqing, so she took a short rest at Shen Ma's house and prepared to wait until the rain stopped before leaving.
After dawn.
News of the Feng family tragedy.
Yun, her wet nurse, and Shi Yuqing escaped death because they were not in the mansion that night.
When Yun learned that the Feng family had been wiped out and no one was left alive, she fainted on the spot.
When she woke up, she was in a house in the suburbs.
That's the wet nurse's home.
The murderer who wiped out the entire Feng family has been tracking down the survivors of the Feng family.
After hiding in their wet nurse's house for three months, Yun and Shi Yuqing were finally discovered.
Seeing the murderer about to kill her, the nanny made a decision.
The wet nurse knocked Yun unconscious and asked her husband Shi Tie to take Shi Yuqing and Yun back to their hometown thousands of miles away, hiding their identities to avoid being hunted down.
The wet nurse pretended to be Yun, wrapped her own daughter in the swaddling clothes used by Shi Yuqing, put a token of the Feng family in it, placed her own daughter at the gate of the government office, and then hanged her in the woods not far from the government office, creating the appearance that Yun could not bear the pursuit and had no choice but to place her daughter at the gate of the government office to commit suicide.
The people who were chasing him were fooled.
In this way, Yun and Shi Yuqing were taken to the distant Shijia Village by Shi Tie.
Having witnessed his wife and daughter's death, Shi Tie's temperament changed drastically. He became addicted to alcohol and gambling, and often beat and scolded Yun and Shi Yuqing.
In order to vent his emotions, Shi Tie even gave Shi Yuqing the name of a bitch.
Yun was reduced from a young lady to a village woman, and Shi Yuqing was also reduced from a beloved eldest daughter to a little bitter flower soaked in bitter water.
Fate is divided here.
After many years, they reunited at a specific time.
There was silence in the room for a long time.
Shen Tingsi spoke first: “So, after getting married, Shi Yuqing once again escaped the disaster of extermination of her family.”
"She came to Shangjing in search of justice and the truth, and was saved by Doctor Qian when she was about to die."
"She gifted Doctor Qian a bronze mirror, which saved his life."
"The person who assassinated Doctor Qian was the same murderer who wiped out the Feng family?"
Xie Yingmian sighed quietly, "Sometimes, I have to sigh at the magic of fate."
A bronze mirror revealed a murder that had been hidden for twenty years.
What a coincidence.
It's so coincidental that even the storybook doesn't dare to write it this way.
