Chapter 354 Identity confirmed!
"Slave"
An Yunxi made Lian Zhi speechless for a long time.
Because she was speechless, she felt panic in her heart.
An Yunxi didn't want to talk too much, and didn't want to know how miserable her life was, so she asked coldly: "What did the child you saw that year look like?"
This point is very important.
An Yunxi looked calm on the surface, but her fingers clenched quietly.
Lian Zhi was indeed the only person who had seen the newly born young master of the An family twenty years ago. Lian Zhi
felt guilty and panicked. The corners of her lips trembled for a long time, and finally told the truth.
"I still remember that day clearly. There was chaos in the temple. Madam was knocked to the ground and blood soon flowed out from under her skirt. I and the nanny were very panicked at the time. Fortunately, Nanny Gao was very calm. Together with me, she helped Madam hide in the meditation room next door."
Lianzhi's voice was filled with reminiscence, and he sounded a little weak due to the injury.
"At that time, a murderer broke in from outside, and a group of people started fighting with swords. They didn't care about the lives of ordinary people around them. The temple courtyard was full of corpses. Later, the monks from Shaolin Temple came out to suppress the fighting, and the fighting stopped a lot. However, the baby in the madam's belly was only eight months old, and it was too late to find a doctor. The nanny asked me to accompany her at the birth."
This time, she was telling the truth.
An Yunxi didn't interrupt her, but stood quietly by and listened.
The incident twenty years ago had such a huge impact on the An family that it even changed her third brother's life.
"Luckily, Grandma Gao had some experience in midwifery. Just in case, she learned some tricks from Grandma Wen in advance. She was afraid that the Madam might have an accident. So although it was difficult, she still managed to deliver the young master smoothly. After he came out, I was so frightened when I saw him for the first time that I even sat down on the ground paralyzed."
Lian Zhi's breathing was a little rapid.
"The child was completely white, with white hair and even eyebrows, just like the legendary snow demon. I have never seen such a strange child in my life."
"I was so scared at that time, but fortunately, Grandma Gao was calm. She wrapped the child in a small quilt and said that after the lady woke up, she would ask her how to deal with it. After all, if such a child was brought back, people would definitely talk about it, and it would also affect the lady's reputation. However, as servants, we have no right to make decisions on our own." After hearing
the exact news from Lianzhi, An Yunxi's heart, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly fell to the ground.
Her eyes were completely red, she gritted her teeth, and her back trembled slightly.
Her guess was correct, An Yunze was her third brother.
It turns out that fate in this world is sometimes really amazing. In her last life, she only met her third brother once. Because of this, he finally returned to her and her mother in this life.
Lian Zhi continued, "What happened later was what I said before. Someone broke in and wanted to kill us. I left everyone behind and ran away. But I was right. The other party had a knife. If I stayed there, I would definitely die. I was just afraid of death, afraid of death!"
After she said this, she suddenly broke down and cried.
Lian Zhi was convulsing with tears, but she was justified when she said this, and obviously thought that her actions at that time were not wrong.
She just didn't want to die. What was wrong with her?
She was only seventeen years old at the time, a weak little maid, the mistress was in a coma, and the newborn young master looked like a monster, so she didn't even dare to touch him.
At that time, Nanny Gao hugged the murderer's legs and let him stab her with a long sword, spurting blood.
Her eyes widened, but she refused to let go, and while spitting blood, she shouted to her: Take the young master away.
Nanny Gao knew that she couldn't drag the mistress, and if she stayed, everyone would die, so she begged her to take the young master away, but she was too scared at the time. Even if the young master was only a little bit, she couldn't hold him, but she didn't dare to hold him
. She thought, if the young master was a normal child, she would definitely go over and hold him.
She had been hiding for more than 20 years since she escaped. She lived in fear and poverty in the first few years, fearing that she would be discovered by the people in the general's mansion. Later
, she realized that no one was looking for her, so she felt relieved and found a village near the capital, and married a man in the village under an assumed name. Later, she lived a quiet life and gave birth to two sons, the older one was fifteen years old and the younger one was six years old.
Not long ago, the six-year-old Xiao Baoer fell ill, and she had to take him to the capital for medical treatment. As a result, he was recognized by someone, who said that he could give her enough money to cure the child's illness. Lian
Zhi had no choice but to be tempted.
So, she went to the palace against her conscience and said such words with courage.
After hearing the past, An Yunxi was not very interested in her choice.
Maybe she did have her own reasons, but as a maidservant beside Madam Du, she did not fulfill her due responsibilities.
"Don't forget, your indenture is still in my mother's hands. After seeing you, my mother did not take it out to threaten you. Do you deserve her kindness towards you?"
Madam Du only said that she wanted to drive Lianzhi out.
But Lianzhi was originally a slave who was sold in the general's mansion. The normal way to deal with her should be to hand her over to the government or sell her again.
In this dynasty, if you sign a indenture, it means that you are the property of the general's mansion. The fate of a runaway slave is to be beaten to death.
After hearing this, Lianzhi was silent for a long time.
She said with a trembling voice: "Madam, she is a good person."
An Yunxi sneered: "Good people, shouldn't have a good ending, should they be hurt by people they are close to and trust? Lianzhi, has my mother treated you badly, so that you can hurt her like this now?"
Lianzhi remained silent.
She opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word of explanation.
Maybe she ran away to save her life, so Mrs. Du never thought of pursuing her guilt.
Mrs. Du didn't care how other people dealt with fugitives, but she would not think of taking their lives. Even if Lianzhi went back then, she would at most send him to a farm outside to suffer a little.
Seeing Lian Zhi like this, An Yunxi asked, "You said you don't know the person you contacted, but you must remember what he looks like. Tell me and I will send someone to find him."
Lian Zhi chose to tell the truth this time, not daring to hide anything.
"He was a man, probably in his forties, with a square face, small eyes, and a black mole next to his nose. He was wearing a navy blue suit, half made of cloth, seven feet tall, and had a limp on his left foot. We met outside the pawnshop in the south city. He gave me fifty taels of silver before, and said that after the matter was done, he would give me the remaining fifty taels, and I should go to the same place to pick it up." Yingfeng, who
had been following Lingfengxun, suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I seem to have seen someone with a similar appearance in the capital."
