"However, Zhao Yong, for his own selfish desires, did not listen to Nanny Xi's instructions and come to Kyoto with a letter to apologize. Instead, he was afraid that his affairs would be exposed and he would be imprisoned and would be irritated by our Xuanping Marquis Mansion. So he concealed the matter until now, causing my sister to spend another ten years of hardship away from home..."
At the end, Cheng Moyang choked up.
He looked at Jiang Sui, seeing her face that was similar to his mother's. He thought of the day when he met her in Baixi Garden and felt that she was very kind. However, at that time, he allowed Cheng Xueyun to speak ill of her.
Now, when she thinks about it, will she feel disappointed in her brother and create a gap between them?
Everyone fell silent when they heard the truth, but they were also angry at the same time. Marquis Xuanping was so angry that his face turned pale.
There was also Jiang, who was filled with remorse that she had spoiled the daughter of a culprit for eighteen years, while allowing her own daughter to suffer outside.
Thinking of this, she could no longer bear it, her blood boiled and she fainted.
When she fainted, everyone in the room panicked and was caught off guard. Jiang Sui was closest to her, so he quickly stood up and rushed to her, shouting in a hurry:
"Mother!"
This was the first time in such a long time that she called Jiang mother.
Before, the truth had not yet been revealed and she was not used to it, so she couldn't say it out loud.
Now the truth is out. She is indeed the daughter of Marquis Xuanping. Moreover, during this period of time, she and Jiang have been together, and the mother and son get along extremely harmoniously. She has felt a motherly love that she has never felt before.
Only when Jiang fainted would she call out "mother" in desperation.
It’s a pity that Jiang didn’t hear it, otherwise she would definitely be very happy.
At this time, no one paid attention to Jiang Sui's change of words. Fortunately, there was a doctor on hand, and Su Yanqing asked them to send Jiang back to her room.
He took Jiang's pulse through his handkerchief. The room was crowded with people, all looking at him anxiously.
"It's nothing serious. I was just too emotional just now, and my blood rushed up. I couldn't calm down for a while, so I felt dizzy. I will wake up after a while. I will be fine after a good rest."
After hearing Su Yanqing say this, everyone felt relieved.
Jiang Sui had been guarding by the bed. Marquis Xuanping stood behind her, looking at the mother and daughter. He was extremely angry.
As for Ji Rou, his concubine, he had the impression that she was always sickly, weak, and didn't talk much.
After that incident, he thought she was a good person, and he even endured his discomfort every day and brought his children to visit Xuan'er.
But she didn't expect that it was all her premeditated plan. She just wanted Xuan'er to develop feelings with her daughter. She was entrusting her daughter to her care in disguise.
In order to let his daughter live a good life, he tried his best to clear away obstacles so that he could go with peace of mind.
She really had a kind and vicious heart. When he was pregnant, he and Xuan'er never thought that they would treat her child badly just because she was a concubine. On the contrary, Xuan'er even said that the two children were destined to be together and were conceived at the same time. So when they were born, there was no need to pay too much attention to the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. They all needed the same education, and there should be no bias in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
But they never thought that they would raise an ungrateful person. Xuan'er was always worried about Ji Rou because of her poor health and gave her supplements, but she turned around and plotted against their daughter like this.
"Sui Sui, stay here with your mother. Your brother and I will go take care of some things."
And what about Zhao Yong? He is the initiator of all these tragedies. If it weren't for him, how could Ji Rou have the opportunity to take advantage of it?
He has lives on his shoulders, why should he expect to live a stable and peaceful life?
Jiang Sui nodded:
"Father, go ahead. I'll take care of Mother here."
Jiang Sui's shouting of "father" stunned Xuan Pinghou. It took him a while to react and asked:
"Kid, what did you call me just now?"
Jiang Sui couldn't help but find it funny, and she shouted again:
"I call you father. Don't you want me to call you father?"
"Yes, yes, of course I am willing, but you suddenly changed your mind and I am a little excited."
He was indeed very excited. He had been waiting for the word "father" for a long time. How could he not be excited?
But at the moment, he had to deal with that beast Zhao Yong first.
So he took his son to see Zhao Yong alone. He was tied up and thrown into the woodshed.
After many years, when I saw Marquis Xuanping again, he had aged a lot and was no longer the elegant young man he used to be. Now, Marquis Xuanping was mature, steady, restrained, and had his own oppressive aura.
When Zhao Yong saw him, he was very scared. He knew that his good days were over.
Marquis Xuanping would not abuse his power of private punishment. He would let things happen as they should, and he would naturally receive retribution for his sins.
He killed someone in Kyoto, so he must be brought back to Kyoto for punishment. Officials from other places cannot interfere in this matter. The most they can do is detain him on behalf of the police.
Now, Xiao Hechuan will stay in Jeju for at most half a month before returning to Kyoto to take up his post. When the time comes, he will be taken with him to the Dali Temple in Kyoto to re-investigate the case of that year.
In fact, in Kyoto, it was normal for a slave to die from time to time, and those powerful people did not take it seriously at all. But it was different in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. No matter whether they were maids or servants, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion treated everyone well.
They would not arbitrarily deduct their monthly wages, nor would they beat or scold them at will. New clothes would be made for them every season change. It could be said that working in the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion was quite comfortable.
Zhao Yong was temporarily sent to the Jeju government office for detention, and would be brought back to Kyoto when the time came.
Taking advantage of the remaining half a month, Xiao's father planned to take Xiao Hechuan and his other three sons back to Xianhe Village to rebuild the ancestral tomb.
Another thing is that that is where Xiao Hechuan was born and raised. Now that he is the top scorer in the high school entrance examination, going back there would be a proper return home in glory.
This time, only the father and his son will go back to Xianhe Village, and the rest of them will continue to stay in Jeju.
After Jiang woke up, the first person she saw when she opened her eyes was Jiang Sui.
"Mother, are you awake? You must be hungry. I asked the kitchen to prepare a nourishing and light soup for you. I'll have someone bring it to you right away."
Now, Jiang Sui can call his mother smoothly without any pressure at all.
As for Jiang, she only heard her calling her mother, and immediately burst into tears:
"Sui Sui, you are finally willing to call me mother..."
Her tone sounded a little aggrieved.
If it wasn't for being certain, Jiang Sui would probably still be too embarrassed to say it out loud. It was because when Cheng Moyang said it, he specifically emphasized that Zhao Yong explained that he had abandoned her in a village called Xianhe Village in Qinghe County, and then she was picked up by a family surnamed Jiang. Only then did she dare to be completely sure that it was her.
"Before, it was because she couldn't adapt. Now the truth has come out, proving that we are indeed biological mother and daughter, so my daughter has nothing to worry about anymore."
