Chapter 143 is complete (two chapters in one)
At this time, in the mansion of Marquis Baoqing, Sun Lingzhi was doing needlework. This was a small jacket for a boy.
The jacket is very small and you can tell at first glance that it is worn by babies of a few months old. In fact, the styles are almost the same for both boys and girls, only the colors are different.
The one that Sun Lingzhi sewed is obviously for a little boy. She sewed it for Aunt Lan's child.
At this moment, Sun Lingzhi was doing needlework while humming a little opera.
She was very talented in singing opera, and even Xiao Huangying, the top actress in the capital, had personally taught her. If she had not entered the Marquis' Mansion, she might have been able to perform on stage.
In fact, it was not easy for her to hook up with Concubine Lan. Concubine Lan lived in the courtyard of the Marquis's wife, Ma. Ma followed the orders of Old Madam Wei and treated Concubine Lan as the apple of her eye, fearing that anything might happen to Concubine Lan.
The most important thing is that Ma hates Sun Lingzhi. Not only Ma, but all the women in this mansion hate Sun Lingzhi.
But everything has its limits. After hearing so many people scolding Sun Lingzhi, Aunt Lan became even more curious about her.
Moreover, although she did not hear it with her own ears, she could guess that there might be more people in this mansion scolding her than those scolding Sun Lingzhi. After all, she was pregnant with the Marquis's child, and perhaps, it would be the next prince.
Therefore, Aunt Lan always met with Sun Lingzhi secretly. The two complained to each other, cried to each other, and remained silent.
Aunt Lan felt that Sun Lingzhi was the only one in this mansion who treated her as an independent person.
Only in Sun Lingzhi's eyes was she Alan. She was a human being, not the Marquis's plaything, nor a walking belly.
Aunt Lan trusted Sun Lingzhi more and more. Whenever she got some good things from the Marquis and Ma, she would secretly give half of them to Sun Lingzhi.
In the evening, a little maid quietly came over and handed her a small piece of clothing: "This was sewn by my aunt. My aunt stayed up two nights to sew this dress. My aunt said that this is a boy's dress. If you put this dress on the bedside, you will definitely give birth to a little boy."
Aunt Lan gently stroked the soft fabric, feeling deeply moved. Zhizhi was so good to her.
The only thing Marquis Zhu cared about was Concubine Lan's belly. He already had a new love. Now that Concubine Lan had entered the mansion, he felt relieved and simply hung out with the sisters every night and never touched Concubine Lan again.
Aunt Lan, on the other hand, felt relieved. Her life was all about taking care of her pregnancy, and she went to bed early at night.
She liked the little dress that Sun Lingzhi gave her very much and would take it out to play with it before going to bed. Thinking of what the little maid said, she put the little dress on the bedside.
Three days later, Aunt Lan had a miscarriage!
Ma showed the pool of blood and flesh left by Aunt Lan to the midwife, and she found out that it was a boy.
Aunt Lan lay on the bed with a dazed look in her eyes, while Ma was crying bitterly, as if she was the one who had the miscarriage.
Yes, this child was her hope and the expectation for the rest of her life, but now, the child is gone and her hope has been dashed.
In Chunhui Hall, Zhu Yu heard about this incident and learned that the Marquis' wife Ma was so sad that she fell ill. He laughed out loud.
Her own flesh and blood has not recovered yet, but Ma, the biological mother, does not care at all. Instead, she cries herself sick for the bastard son of a concubine.
Stupid and cheap!
However, Sun Lingzhi was so clever that she did it without anyone noticing. Even the old lady did not suspect anything and thought that Aunt Lan was unlucky and was not worthy of bearing the grandson of Marquis Baoqing.
Golden grandson?
Hahaha!
He was already the grandson of the Baoqing Marquisate before he was born, but now, the grandson has changed!
Fortunately, it was not replaced. That lump of flesh and blood was, after all, just a lump of flesh and blood.
Zhu Yu laughed even more freely. He suddenly fell in love with this feeling. It was more satisfying to him than strangling those little girls to death with his own hands.
......
When Zhu Yu laughed, he didn't notice that an eagle had come outside the window.
Xiaoguai quite likes the Baoqing Marquis Mansion because there are always a lot of delicious food here.
So even though Zhao Shiqing didn't assign it any tasks, it still often came to have a bite to eat when it had nothing to do.
When it came back from outside today, it couldn't wait to tell Zhao Shiqing what it saw and heard in Baoqing Hou Mansion.
The more Zhao Shiqing listened, the more shocked he became. He never expected that there would be a sequel to the Baoqing Marquis Mansion.
Xiaoguai did not get complete information. Zhao Shiqing could only judge from its fragmentary words that Zhu Yu was responsible for Aunt Lan's miscarriage. As for how Zhu Yu did it, Xiaoguai did not know.
Zhao Shiqing thought of Sun Lingzhi.
Sun Lingzhi is also pregnant. Could it be that no one in the Baoqing Marquis Mansion knows about it yet?
This is very likely the case, because Sun Hongbin said that Sun Lingzhi had once miscarried.
The next day, Zhao Shiqing went to Su Ji Tea House again. Compared to the unpopular Ruyifang, Zhao Shiqing preferred Su Ji Tea House because it had Su Datou, Sister Aping, and delicious snacks.
The current Su Ji Tea Shop is no longer a deserted haunted house. Although the business can only be considered neither good nor bad, it is no longer deserted. When Zhao Shiqing arrived, there were a few customers in the shop.
Sister Aping was greeting two old ladies. She spoke witty words and made the two old ladies very happy. When they left, their maids were all carrying large and small bags. Sister Aping sent them to the mule cart with the smile on her face still not fading.
Zhao Shiqing looked at her with a smile: "Sister Ping, you really know how to do business."
Sister Ping brought some tea and placed it in front of Zhao Shiqing: "Miss Bao, try this. This is a new dish we just introduced yesterday."
Zhao Shiqing picked up a piece and tasted it: "It's crispy and delicious!"
At this time, the other two customers also left, and the shop became quiet. Zhao Shiqing asked, "Sister Ping, there is a guy named Si Xiaopang, do you know him?"
Sister Ping smiled: "If Miss Bao had come an hour earlier, she might have seen him. He is a foodie. He bought a whole bag of these snacks."
At this point, Sister Ping thought of something and asked in a low voice, "Miss Bao, are you looking for Si Xiaopang to get some information?"
Zhao Shiqing raised his eyebrows. No way, where did Xiao Zhen find these people? Even the guys in the shop are so cunning?
"Yeah, I'm unfamiliar with the capital, and besides Fatty Si, I don't know who else to ask for information."
Sister Ping said hurriedly, "Come to me. The boss has told us that if Miss Bao wants to know anything, we will tell you."
Zhao Shiqing...Uncle Xiao is such a good man!
"Then I want to inquire about the Ministry of Justice. Is that okay?"
Sister Ping sighed, "You've asked the right person, haven't you? I actually know a little bit about the Ministry of Justice."
Zhao Shiqing......
At this time, Su Datou came out from behind and said with a smile: "Miss Bao, if you want to know about the Ministry of Justice, just ask her. She works there."
Zhao Shiqing was completely shocked. This Sister Aping actually worked in the Ministry of Justice!
Sister Ping was a little embarrassed: "What kind of errand? I just help my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law is a midwife, but she doesn't deliver babies."
Zhao Shiqing understood: "An autopsy? A female coroner?"
Sister Ping nodded, then suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, Miss Bao, I'm very careful. I wash my hands with soap more than ten times a day."
Zhao Shiqing laughed heartily: "It's okay, I don't mind. Tell me quickly, did you catch the rat in the Ministry of Justice?"
Speaking of this, Sister Ping laughed before she even spoke: "You know what, they actually found a really big rat, but unfortunately they couldn't catch it. A group of people used brooms to chase the rat out of the house into the yard, but in the end, the rat still got away."
Zhao Shiqing laughed so hard that she fell over. The big rat was very cunning, and she guessed that this group of people could not catch it.
She then asked, "What about the case that Master Yan is working on? It's about the bodies that were dug out from the manor house of Marquis Baoqing."
Sister Ping sighed and said, "The Baoqing Marquis's Mansion sent in a scapegoat, a servant girl. Alas, everyone knows she's here to take the blame, and she's still being held in the Ministry of Justice. However, Master Yan has returned to investigate, and they're investigating the identities of the bodies, but progress is slow. As of yesterday, they've only found one. The girl was only five years old at the time. Prince Zhu saw her on the street, took a fancy to her, and bought her from her grandfather for fifty taels. Her parents didn't know anything about this, and the old man insisted the child was lost. Her parents have been looking for her for two years. Alas, what a sin!"
Zhao Shiqing felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. She came to inquire about the progress of the case, but when she really found out, she would rather not have heard it.
Ling Bo, who was standing by, had red eyes. She had the same experience as the little girl.
The little girl was sold by her grandfather, and she was sold by her grandmother.
She met the second girl, who took her back to Baihe Mountain. She followed the second girl to learn to read and write, martial arts and needlework, and she even learned some music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
But that little girl never had the chance to grow up...
At this time, a waiter said loudly: "Sir, please come in!"
The tea shop was open for business, welcoming and sending off customers. Zhao Shiqing didn't pay much attention until she heard a familiar voice: "Excuse me, is Miss Zhao Er here?"
Zhao Shiqing pricked up his ears. This silly boy really found his way here!
"Who's looking for Miss Zhao Er?" Zhao Shiqing asked in a rough voice.
Young Master Cui, no, Chen Wangxing turned around curiously and saw Zhao Shiqing and Ling Bo smiling at him!
"Second Miss, you really didn't lie to me, you are really here!"
Chen Wangxing cried for joy and actually shed tears.
Zhao Shiqing... your emotions are too abundant, aren't they?
"Where's your mother? Did she come to the capital with you, or did she go back to her parents' home?"
Zhao Shiqing still remembered that the Cui family was ransacked and all males over the age of thirteen were exiled. Although the women were not implicated, their property was confiscated and they lived a difficult life. Shen Wangxing went back for Mrs. Cui San.
When this incident was brought up, Chen Wangxing stopped crying. He gritted his teeth and said, "I almost didn't make it back. You won't believe this. When my mother found out I was still alive, she actually cried and begged me to be exiled with the other men in my family. Hahaha, isn't it ridiculous? Absurd, right?"
Zhao Shiqing was stunned. Mrs. Cui San had been cheated by Cui Rong all her life. Not only did she raise a bastard son for Cui Rong, she almost lost her own son. Now Cui Rong was executed and the Cui family was exiled. Chen Wangxing was worried and wanted to take her out of the Cui family. She actually wanted to hand Chen Wangxing over. Did she get kicked in the head by a donkey?
Chen Wangxing smiled bitterly: "Guess why? Because Cui Rong got into trouble and the Cui family was implicated. Those aunts and aunties beat and scolded her. She had a hard time in the Cui family. Now that she knows that I am not dead and I am still alive, she wants to hand me over to please those aunties and aunties, so that others will know that she has not hidden anything. The sons of the aunties and aunties were exiled, and her son was also sent. Moreover, she firmly believes that as long as she hands me over, she will be able to live a stable life in the Cui family in the future.
I wanted to take her away, but she said that she was a member of the Cui family in life and a ghost of the Cui family in death, and she would not go anywhere except the Cui family.
She locked me up and asked someone to report me to the police. She cried and said it was for my own good, and that as long as I was exiled with the Cui family, I would still be a member of the Cui family. What a joke! What's so good about the Cui family? I'm not even surnamed Cui anymore, so why should I be exiled with them?
Fortunately, I learned some martial arts from you guys, so I was able to escape. I will never go back again, not in this life. As for my mother, she can stay in the Cui family. I don't miss her anymore."
As Chen Wangxing spoke, he started crying again. He simply lay down on the table and cried heartily.
Zhao Shiqing said to Su Datou apologetically, "I'm sorry for affecting your business."
Su Datou: "It's okay, it's okay. If I were that guy, I would cry too!"
Fortunately, Shen Wangxing stopped crying after a while and followed Zhao Shiqing out of Su’s Tea Shop.
When he returned home, everyone was very happy to see him, but they soon learned about his experience. They had experienced a lot from Wu to Liang, and Chen Wangxing had long regarded them as good friends, so he did not hide anything and repeated what he had said to Zhao Shiqing, which left everyone stunned.
I was already shocked when I learned that the Cui family killed the legitimate son and supported the illegitimate son. Now I hear that Mrs. Cui San is willing to sacrifice her own son in order to please the Cui family, and she keeps saying that it is for his own good. It is really speechless.
Everyone was trying to comfort Chen Wangxing, even Big Fatty and Little Demon rubbed against him a few times, which made him flattered.
In order to comfort him, Zhen Wuduo asked the chef to prepare a large and delicious banquet.
These days, Chen Wangxing had been living in the open air and had become dark and thin, no different from a loach. Looking at this table full of delicious food, he was so moved that he almost cried again.
After eating all the dishes cleanly, Shen Wangxing finally came back to life.
He patted his chest and said to everyone: "From now on, I am Chen Wangxing, not someone else, I am just Chen Wangxing!"
Then, his eyes turned red again, and he clasped his fists and saluted everyone: "From now on, you are my family, you are all my family, you are the only family I have, please don't abandon me, except you, I have nothing else! 嘤嘤嘤~"
Everyone...
He started crying again, so everyone had to continue to coax him. Loach did somersaults, Xiuxiu performed magic tricks, Lingbo sang two little songs, and even Jiang Han performed a set of boxing. Zhen Wuduo gave big red envelopes to everyone, and Zhao Shiqing's was the biggest!
