Now that they had a goal, the Xie family began to take action, but they did it quietly without alerting anyone.
Bei Yutang had been staying in the house for the past two days. After receiving the message from Zhiliu outside the mansion, she felt that the time was almost right.
On the third day, when Mrs. Xie came to visit, Bei Yutang met her.
Mrs. Xie came for several days in a row. Shangqing Zhenren had been staying at home for the past two days, but when they met today, Mrs. Xie couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"Master, do you have something to tell me?" Mrs. Xie was an insightful person and pointed it out right away.
Bei Yutang nodded, "That's right. Today I've calculated what you've been looking for these past two days. I'm afraid the person you're looking for is no longer alive."
"Ah?!" Mrs. Xie was stunned.
"Master, what do you mean?" Mrs. Xie already understood, but she was unwilling to believe it in her heart.
"Madam, follow the southeast direction and you will understand what I mean."
After Madam Xie came out from her place, she went straight to find Master Xie and conveyed Bei Yutang's words to him. After hearing this, Master Xie's eyes showed deep thought, and soon he had an idea in his mind.
"Since the Taoist priest has calculated it, we can go and see if it is as he said." Lord Xie was skeptical about the true ability of the Shangqing Zhenren who stirred up Yunzhou Prefecture.
Lord Xie quickly ordered people to go down and search in the direction Bei Yutang mentioned, and sure enough, they soon got the result.
"Sir, find the woman you mentioned."
Upon hearing this, Lord Xie hurriedly asked, "Quick, tell me the details."
The captain of the police did not dare to delay and began to explain the situation of the Qian family.
"A year ago, a devastating fire suddenly struck the Qian family. The couple, along with their youngest son, were all burned to death. Only their eldest daughter, Qian Zhiliu, survived. The villagers viewed her with suspicion and expelled her from the village. Since then, the girl's whereabouts have been unknown, and it's unknown whether she's alive or dead."
When Master Xie heard this, his brows furrowed tightly. "How old is Qian Zhiliu? Do you have a portrait?"
"I've made inquiries about that girl. She was born in the intercalary eighth month. It's said she was born while the couple was returning from her parents' home. She was named by an official. As for her portrait, I haven't been able to obtain it."
After Mr. Xie waved him away, Madam Xie, who had been hiding behind the screen, came out.
"It's definitely that family."
Lord Xie still had some doubts about Shangqing Zhenren, but after this incident, he has changed his mind about Shangqing Zhenren.
"That child must be our daughter. Husband, you must find our daughter."
Lord Xie didn't believe it at first, but now he believes it a little. However, he would never make a conclusion arbitrarily without solid evidence.
"Madam, please don't worry. We have no evidence to prove that the child is our daughter."
Mrs. Xie was not so worried. She felt that her previous suspicions, coupled with these successive confirmations, made her more certain of her previous thoughts.
"Why don't you believe it yet? Shangqing Zhenren has already said that Ming'er is not our daughter. You have seen Shangqing Zhenren's ability. His words must be correct." Madam Xie said angrily, "Don't you want to recognize your daughter?"
"Madam, how could you think so? Ming'er, after all, we have raised her for so many years, we must get to the bottom of this. If Ming'er is really our daughter, wouldn't that be harmful to her?"
