cause and effect
On the roof, Xin Chen, the secret inspector who came to spy, heard the couple's night conversation clearly, and his heart beat faster and faster.
He endured it until the early morning, and when the couple fell asleep, he quietly climbed into the house, dug out the small bundle from under the bed, and rushed to Bailu Terrace at full speed...
Deep in the Bailu Terrace in the capital, there is a hot spring.
Every morning, Baili Hongyuan would heal his wounds in the hot spring. His confidants knew of his habit and knew that they should not be disturbed unless it was important.
But Xin Chen didn't care about much else. After returning to Bailu Terrace, he went to find him as soon as possible.
"Master Governor!" Xin Chen knelt excitedly beside the hot spring.
In the mist, the man's healing was interrupted and he was in a bad mood. He said in a cold voice: "You'd better have something important to do."
Xin Chen said confidently, "Master, there's new news about the Qin family!"
A "splash" sound of water was heard, and Baili Hongyuan strode up to him and "grabbed" the bag from Xin Chen's hand.
Wrapped in the small cloth bag was a small travel pass.
The paper of the pass has yellowed due to age, but the words on it are still clearly visible: "Qin, the granddaughter-in-law of the Sang family in Yangcheng, has brought her daughter to Beijing to seek medical treatment. This is to certify this."
The daughter of Sang Qin?
Xin Chen added, "I heard it clearly. The Yuan couple said Yuan Yaoniang was a descendant of the Qin family and they planned to send her back to the Sang family in Yangcheng. She must be the child that the third aunt of the Qin family lost five years ago!"
"Call someone, and I'll go there myself."
Looking at the governor's quickly departing figure, Xin Chen felt deeply moved.
Five years have passed since the Qin family was exterminated, but the governor still hasn't let it go.
Over the past five years, he has been collecting donations and helping the distant relatives and old servants of the Qin family who are scattered outside. Although he cannot make the old friends return, it seems that only by doing so can he make up for a little bit of the regret and emptiness in his heart.
Qin Yousi didn't sleep well yesterday. She originally wanted to sleep a few more hours, but was woken up by her mother's crying.
She quickly put on her clothes and stood up, asking Madam Yuan, who was running around anxiously, "What happened? Why are you crying, mother?"
Madam Yuan immediately covered her mouth and choked with sobs, "It's okay... I was confused and didn't know where I put the things..."
Qin Yousi didn't believe her.
When Yuan Zhi was detained by the Liu family, Mrs. Yuan didn't cry. Why would she cry in anxiety because she lost an ordinary thing?
"What did you lose? Tell me and I'll help you find it."
Madam Yuan became even more panicked and quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. You haven't seen it. I can just look for it with your father."
Qin Yousi went to see Yuan Zhi.
Yuan Zhi's expression was not very good either, he looked very serious and deep.
Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, Qin Yousi knew that it was not a matter for her to interfere, so she could only comfort him: "No matter what it is, it is all external things. Don't worry about it and hurt yourself."
Upon hearing this, Madam Yuan couldn't help but shed tears.
How can it be something outside of one’s body?
The pass is proof of Yao Niang’s identity. If it is lost, what will happen if the Sang family doesn’t recognize her?
The atmosphere in the Yuan family was gloomy all day until dinner time, when Yuan Zhi mentioned going to Yangcheng to buy medicinal herbs.
When Qin Yousi heard about Yangcheng, she asked tentatively, "Dad, are you going to Yangcheng? Can you take your daughter with you? I heard that it's like spring all year round there, prosperous and beautiful. Now that your daughter is well, she wants to go see it, too."
Yuan Zhi was moved and asked, "Do you really want to go?"
Yuan Yaoniang smiled and nodded.
Yuan Zhi put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Madam Yuan.
Madam Yuan was about to speak when the door was suddenly pushed open and two teams of black-armored guards rushed in, crowding the already small living room.
"Who are you? What do you want to do by breaking in?" Yuan Zhi shouted.
Madam Yuan hugged Qin Yousi and tried to hide in the room, but was surrounded by black-armored guards.
"What? Kidnapping children? That's what I want to ask you, what have you done?"
A cold voice came from outside the door, and as a tall figure approached, an object flew into the house at high speed and nailed it in the center of the wooden dining table like a sharp sword.
It was the pass that Madam Yuan had been looking for all day!
"Ah..." Madam Yuan howled, and involuntarily let go of Qin Yousi and rushed towards Lu Yin, holding it in her arms as if it were a treasure.
"Thank God, it's not lost! What would I do if my mother was lost..."
Qin Yousi recognized that these black-armored guards were the Bailu Terrace's inspection secret guards, but she couldn't understand why these secret guards would come to a farmer's home like the Yuan family.
She looked outside in the direction of the sound, and when she saw who it was, she was stunned.
It was him? Baili... Hongyuan?
When did he enter Bailu Terrace?
Baili Hongyuan looked at Yuan Zhi, then at Madam Yuan who was sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, and finally raised his eyes and glanced at his target today, Sang Youzhi, the missing sixth daughter of the Sang family.
When their eyes met, Baili Hongyuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Only his trembling pupils showed that he was still alive.
His starry eyes shot at her like sharp arrows, as if he wanted to see through her. He even forgot to breathe and stopped thinking.
Qin Yousi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw his expression.
No wonder she was shocked when she woke up and looked in the mirror for the first time half a year ago. She never expected that the body she was reborn into would look 70% similar to her original self, except that it was weaker and smaller.
At this moment, Baili Hongyuan must have thought he had seen a ghost...
In the silence, Qin Yousi said, "Are the officials mistaken? Kidnapping a child? I don't have any children at home."
Baili Hongyuan took two deep breaths and ordered all the black-armored guards in the room to retreat.
After clearing the area, Baili Hongyuan finally found his voice and said, "Yuan Yaoniang... No, I should call you Sang Liuniang. You know that the Yuan couple are not your biological parents. You were secretly brought back by them."
Qin Yousi was surprised. She really didn't know that this body of hers was not the biological daughter of the Yuan family, but had another identity.
Sang Liuniang, is that the Sang Liuniang she knows?
She is actually her cousin from the Sang family?
Sang Liuniang, whose maiden name was Youzhi, was the daughter of her third aunt. She was born with a congenital weakness and needed blood transfusions every year to stay alive.
At that time, the third aunt knelt in front of grandpa, father and mother, holding the little Youzhi who was only breathing weakly, looking at her pleadingly, asking her to donate blood to her little cousin Youzhi.
According to my grandfather's diagnosis, her blood is most compatible with that of my cousin.
Her mother felt sorry for her and was reluctant at first, but she had learned martial arts from her father and brothers since she was young and had the best health. Moreover, she wanted to save this fragile life, so she took the initiative to nod and agree, and she provided for ten years.
Qin Yousi was lost in thought as she thought that the little girl who was raised with her blood and the precious medicinal herbs of her family had actually become the opportunity for her rebirth. It seemed that this was not entirely a coincidence, but a cause and effect.
"No! No, I didn't!"
Madam Yuan's loud shout brought Qin Yousi back to his senses.
Madam Yuan looked at Baili Hongyuan in horror, denying it, and then looked at Qin Yousi in panic.
Qin Yousi read the fear in her eyes and stepped forward to hold her hand, half hugging Madam Yuan and comforting her, "Don't be afraid, Mom. I won't listen to what they say. I know how well you and Dad treat me. No matter what the truth is, I will only listen to what you have to say."
Madam Yuan cried loudly and hugged Qin Yousi refusing to let go.
