Suddenly, Bei Yutang tore off Zhiliu's fake beard, scaring Zhiliu so much that he almost screamed.
"Sister Yutang, what's wrong with you?" Zhiliu was very worried when he saw that her expression was not right.
Yutang looked at Zhiliu, then at Lord Xie who was sitting on the throne. Madam Xie's appearance came to her mind again, and a smile of understanding appeared on her lips.
She knew, she finally knew.
Bei Yutang grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the government office. Zhiliu was pulled along by her until they were quite far away, then they stopped.
Yutang stared at Zhiliu, "Zhiliu, I think I know why Xie Shiming is targeting you."
"Ah?!" Zhi Liu looked at her in surprise.
Did something happen in this process that she didn't know about? Why did she feel like she couldn't keep up with her pace?
"Why?" Zhi Liu asked.
"The specific situation remains to be proven. But my guess is probably pretty close." Bei Yutang said confidently.
"Zhiliu, you once said that your name was given by an official. Why did the official give you the name?"
Qian Zhiliu said truthfully, "I heard from my mother that when I was born, my mother and I were on our way back home from my parents' home with my father when we happened to encounter a landslide. It was raining heavily at the time, and there was thunder in Tianshan Mountain, so we found a cave to shelter from the wind and rain.
That day, a group of people were also trapped. One of the families was a government official, and the two families took shelter in the same cave. Perhaps because of the shock that day, my mother had a stomachache, and that was when she gave birth to me.
Coincidentally, the housekeeper's wife also gave birth to a child. That was when the official gave me my name."
If that's the case, the wrong child must have been picked up at that time.
"Did your mother tell you who that official was?" Bei Yutang asked.
Qian Zhiliu shook his head. "My mother didn't tell me about this, and I didn't ask at the time. If, if my mother and the others were still alive, they would definitely know."
Bei Yutang saw that she was sad, so he reached out and patted her shoulder. "Don't be sad. It won't be long before you can avenge your parents and comfort their souls in heaven."
Suddenly, Qian Zhiliu hugged Yutang and said with a choked voice, "Sister Yutang, thank you. When I was most helpless, God sent you to me."
"What a fool."
The next day, Bei Yutang sent Qian Zhiliu to handle a matter. At the same time, she approached the old servants in the Xie Mansion and found an old servant from the Xie Mansion. Bei Yutang learned from the old servant the scene of Xie Shiming's delivery, which was just as she expected.
That day, the landslide trapped two families in a cave: the Xie family and the Qian family. The mistresses of both families gave birth to daughters at the same time. Seeing that the Qian family had nothing to wrap the babies, the official gave them the baby supplies he had prepared from his own parcels.
As for why the two children were reported incorrectly, I'm afraid there must be some reason behind this.
Xie Shiming targeted the Xie family for no reason. She must have known her own life experience and wanted to kill them to silence them so that she could maintain her identity as the eldest daughter of the Xie family.
For Xie Shiming to know the truth, someone must have known what happened back then. This person was most likely a nanny or a maid. The two families who were the main family members certainly didn't know that their daughter had made a mistake.
