Chapter 223 Minister Shen and his wife indeed lost their child, Lu Chiyu suspected that it was related to Shen Jing
Gu Yuan was a little surprised: "Ayu, how did you know?"
"Really?"
Although Lu Chiyu already had the answer, he still couldn't help being a little shocked when he heard Gu Yuan's words, and then asked:
“Then where is their biological daughter now? Why didn’t we see Minister Shen and Madam Shen have any other children present besides Shen Jing, the adopted daughter, today?”
"Minister Shen and his wife only had one daughter, but she was lost shortly after she turned one month old and has not been found yet."
Unexpectedly, the facts were exactly as she had guessed. Lu Chiyu was even more shocked: "How did the child get lost? And how old would the child be if he is still alive?"
Gu Yuan didn't know why Lu Chiyu was so concerned about these things, but he still answered very carefully: "I heard that Mrs. Shen disappeared on the way back from her mother's home with Shen Jing and the child..."
Hearing the name Shen Jing, Lu Chiyu couldn't help but interrupt: "Shen Jing was already the adopted daughter of the Shen family at that time?"
Gu Yuan nodded: “Yes, Shen Jing is the orphan left behind by a comrade of Minister Shen who died.
When she heard that she was abused by her grandmother who favored boys over girls in her hometown outside Beijing, she ran back to Kyoto. By chance, she met Mrs. Shen on the street, and then Mrs. Shen took her home.
At that time, Minister Shen and his wife happened to have been married for many years without having children. Mrs. Shen saw that Shen Jing was kind and well-behaved, so she adopted her as her adopted daughter.
Then the following year, Mrs. Shen gave birth to that baby girl. If that baby girl were still alive, she would be 20 years old this year, and Shen Jing would be 24 years old this year."
Captain Gu answered every question his little girl asked. Even when he was interrupted, he still answered the remaining questions and added a quiet age.
When Lu Chiyu heard about this, her first reaction was that Mrs. Shen's daughter's disappearance was related to Shen Jing. After all, Shen Jing was the biggest beneficiary of this incident. However, Shen Jing's age at the time made her guess a little shaken.
After all, Shen Jing was only four years old when the child disappeared. Could a four-year-old child really have such deep scheming and ability to lose Mrs. Shen's child?
However, she still did not give up this suspicion and continued to ask: "Then Yuanyuan, do you know how Madam Shen's child disappeared at that time?"
Gu Yuan nodded again: "I know, it just so happened that my grandfather helped me find this child back then, and I remember this incident.
Mrs. Shen's parents' home was not far from the Shen family. At that time, Minister Shen's rank was not as high as it is now, and Mrs. Shen usually didn't like people following her.
At that time, Mrs. Shen was walking home with Shen Jing and her child. Suddenly, a man rushed up on the street and snatched the child away. Later, none of the grandfather and his family could find any trace of this man.
Hearing this, Lu Chiyu became even more confused. The other party rushed up and snatched the child, which sounded like it had nothing to do with Shen Jing.
Seeing Lu Chiyu's frown, Gu Yuan knew what she was thinking: "In fact, it's not that no one doubted Shen Jing at the beginning, but Shen Jing was too young at that time, and it wasn't because her child was snatched away, so in the end everyone gave up their suspicion of her."
Lu Chiyu frowned even more when she heard this. Although the more she listened, the less suspicious Shen Jing seemed, she still felt that there was no such coincidence in the world.
In addition, today she intuitively felt that Shen Jing didn't seem to want Minister Shen to be cured, which made her even more suspicious of her.
However, these are just suspicions and cannot be brought out publicly, but the matter of Rongyan can be told to Gu Yuan.
So Lu Chiyu then told Gu Yuan about her little assistant Rongyan.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yuan's face changed drastically when he heard Rongyan's name. He said that Minister Shen and his wife named their daughter Chen Yan at that time.
There aren't so many such coincidences in the world. At this point, Lu Chiyu and the others were almost certain that Rongyan was the biological daughter of Minister Shen and his wife.
"Then Yuanyuan, let's tell Minister Shen and Mrs. Shen about this." Lu Chiyu suggested.
Gu Yuan thought about it but shook his head: "Not yet, let's call Commander Xie to confirm Rongyan's blood type, and ask her parents about her background. Once everything is clear, we will tell Minister Shen and Mrs. Shen about this.
Minister Shen's current health cannot withstand great sorrow or joy. If there is a turning point, I am afraid he will not be able to bear it, and the same goes for Mrs. Shen.
I heard that the child has been a knot in Mrs. Shen's heart for many years and cannot be mentioned easily. It would be better if we are more confident before telling her about it. "
After hearing Gu Yuan's suggestion, Lu Chiyu thought about it and felt that it made sense. Indeed, Rongyan was now very safe in the military factory, and there was no rush to meet Minister Shen and his wife.
Eight or nine days passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Lu Chiyu visited Minister Shen for a follow-up visit. Sure enough, after taking the medicine for two days, Minister Shen's condition had improved significantly.
Then Lu Chiyu prescribed him a second dose of medicine and asked him to take it for another five days. After that, he could start the two-pronged treatment of acupuncture and medicine to truly eliminate the tumor in his brain.
Because the medicines that Minister Shen took had to undergo strict inspection, Lu Chiyu was afraid of exposing the space and temporarily did not use the spiritual spring, thinking that at most it would take longer to take effect.
But who knew that something would happen because of this!
