"Impossible! I rescued the woman from the Empress's delivery room. I saw it all. The Empress gave birth in the Chen family's guest room. Madam Chen gave birth in the main courtyard!"
Mo Hui said firmly.
"Then why didn't Brother Mo know how the fire broke out in the Cheng family when he saw me in the delivery room? Why didn't any of the Cheng family's servants discover the fire and escape despite the huge fire? What does this mean? This means it was premeditated! Someone wanted me and the Cheng family's servants to die in the fire. That way, she could become me, and no one would suspect anything!"
"Brother Mo, let me ask you, you were always protecting me back then, so why weren't you there when the fire broke out? If you had gone, would you have just saved people?"
Master Li said.
She had previously told Cheng Yue and Xue Hanyu that her son was taken away by servants, but that was just an excuse she made up because she couldn't possibly tell her story to the two girls.
Everything I said to Shanshui was true.
"I was there? Madam Chen's maid said the Empress was having trouble giving birth and was craving Taizhou rice cakes, so she asked me to go buy some. At the time, I saw the midwife enter the Empress's delivery room. Because she was having twins, the birth was a bit difficult. I thought it would be a bit faster, coming and going, and only taking a day and a night. By then, the Empress would surely have given birth to a little boy and would be hungry, so I went to buy some."
"I was very fast. I left at Chenshi the first day and returned at the end of Choushi the next day. By then, the Chen residence was already a sea of fire. I found the Empress's room, and the midwife had fainted. The little princes had their eyes closed. I was extremely worried. I quickly took the Empress and the little princes out of the Chen residence and went to find the Emperor. So, it must be the Empress."
Mo Hui still has vivid memories of that day.
"Then the Queen gave birth to two princes instead of one prince and one princess. Besides you, the Queen herself knows, and the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo knows, who else do you think knows?"
"The twins became a boy and a girl, and you took the abandoned children away. In Xinghua Village, who else knew about this besides you?"
"I'm not Xiao Xiuxiu, then who do you say I am?"
Master Li was not angry at all. It was not that these people were stupid, but that Xiao Lingling was really too cruel and had been led astray by Lady Lu, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.
They grew up together, and even though Xiao Lingling was a bit vain, she wasn't a bad person by nature. Without knowing that she was following the prince, he actually sent someone to look for her, as he missed his sister.
However, people change, and under Lu's education, Xiao Lingling is no longer the sister she knew.
"Shanshui, do you believe her?"
Mo Hui didn't want to believe it in his heart and looked at the mountains and rivers.
"Well, I believe her."
Shanshui nodded.
Even though Master Li told Shanshui about his life experience, he didn't let Shanshui do anything, nor did he let him get involved in the hatred. Instead, he asked him to protect himself and live a good life.
A normal mother would not want her children to take this risk.
Also, when Master Li looked at the mountains and rivers, the expression in his eyes was the same as when Jiang looked at Cheng Wen, especially the look in Ji Feifei's eyes when she secretly came to see Ning Wazi.
Therefore, Shanshui believed in Master Li's identity without any doubt.
"Brother Mo, I was the one who was burned!"
As Master Li spoke, he took off his veil.
