Chapter 055 Some clues

The people sent out by Chu Zhenxuan were very efficient and found some useful results in just three days.

Five years ago, Chu Zhenxuan did stay in Liang Ronghua's thatched cottage for about ten days. Later, a group of servants from the prime minister's residence went to pick up Chu Zhenxuan and the housekeeper who led the group left a sum of money for Liang Ronghua.

Afterwards, all the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion who handled this matter retired and returned to their hometowns. It was the old lady who approved it personally. From then on, all the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion who knew about this matter left, and no one mentioned this matter again.

After investigation, it was found that a few months after Chu Zhenxuan left, people in the village did spread the news that Liang Ronghua was pregnant before marriage, and they felt that she was shameful, so they drove her out of the village. Liang Ronghua settled in an abandoned City God Temple not far from the village.

Originally there lived some orphans or children abandoned by their parents in the City God Temple, who had to beg for food all year round. When Liang Ronghua went there, she snatched this and that, and the little beggars repelled her. Later, because Liang Ronghua was pregnant, the children were kind enough to let her stay there.

Afterwards, Liang Ronghua left, and he left alone.

This time, more than four years have passed.

Until recently, Liang Ronghua went back to the City God Temple, and then all the little beggars in the City God Temple disappeared.

Afterwards, Liang Ronghua brought Chu Yun to Kyoto.

"Four years ago, one person left, and four years later when she came back, everyone was gone?"

Xia Xue raised her eyebrows, this was such a coincidence.

"And if Liang Ronghua had given birth to the child normally, there would be no reason for her to leave the child in the City God Temple as a homeless child and run away herself, right?"

Chu Zhenxuan nodded and turned to ask the secret guard, "Have you found out the whereabouts of those little beggars who went missing from the City God Temple?"

"Not yet. The villagers nearby said that they saw a dozen men in black one night, taking the children away. My subordinates have sent more people to look for them, but there is no result yet."

"Let's keep looking."

The Dark Guard turned and disappeared.

"It seems that the abduction of these children was planned. The question is who will take away the group of little beggars in the City God Temple, and whose interests will they threaten?"

"Only one."

"The one next door?"

Chu Zhenxuan remained silent.

"That is to say, Liang Ronghua felt guilty and wondered if there was something wrong with the child she gave birth to that year, so she didn't take the child away. And she was afraid of being exposed this time, so she took the other children away." Xia Xue shook her head, "That's not right. Liang Ronghua doesn't have the ability to mobilize a dozen men in black. Who was the person who encouraged Liang Ronghua to bring Chu Yun to recognize her as her own child targeting?"

Targeting yourself? No need, the worst that can happen is that you can just take a concubine or a side room.

Targeting the Chu family? It would be shameful to mobilize a large army and admit that one of his sons was wrong. It would be a slap in the face of the Prime Minister. However, as long as the Prime Minister denies it, no matter how clever his plan is, it will be useless.

There's no need to go to so much trouble.

What is it for?

Chu Zhenxuan touched Xia Xue's head and said, "Don't bother yourself. Drink some scented tea."

"The main reason is that their recent actions against the Prime Minister's Mansion have become more and more bizarre. I really want to see what their thinking is like."

Chu Zhenxuan: Why do you have the same idea as me? I just want to see how you think, madam.

The two people who were chatting and laughing didn't notice that there was a person standing not far away.

Xia Xue turned her head suddenly, and Chu Yun looked at them steadily, with a layer of mist in his eyes.

Xia Xue waved.

Chu Yun walked over slowly.

Xia Xue hugged him.

"Are you hungry? Do you want a snack? Does your injury still hurt?"

Chu Yun's tears welled up from his eyes. He bit his lower lip tightly and shook his head.

"What's wrong? Does the injury still hurt?"

Chu Yun shook his head vigorously, tears falling down his cheeks, "It's just that from childhood to adulthood, no one has ever been so kind to me."

Xia Xue touched his head, "Silly boy."

"Were you investigating my mother just now?"

Xia Xue was stunned for a moment. It seemed that Zi Chuyun had been out for a while.

Without any hesitation, Xia Xue nodded straightforwardly.

"Have you found out the whereabouts of those children?" Chu Yun's eyes were full of anticipation.

"Not yet, but your father is very powerful, he will definitely find it."

"Cough cough cough"

Chu Zhenxuan didn't even finish his sip of tea and almost choked to death.

Chu Zhenxuan: Can you be more outrageous? It would be better to kill the real one with a single blow.

Chu Zhenxuan: +40+40+40.

A stingy man, it was just a joke, but he got so many points.

Chu Yun lowered his head. "Does the Prime Minister really think that I am his son?"

"There are many kinds of intimacy in the world, blood-related intimacy and true intimacy. In ancient times, biological fathers and sons turned against each other. Although they were blood-related, they would kill each other for profit. There were also non-biological fathers and sons who were willing to sacrifice their lives for a place. If it were you, which one do you think is better?"

"The second one."

"So, for the Prime Minister to keep you, it doesn't necessarily mean that we have a blood relationship. Even if we don't, the Prime Minister and I still like you and welcome you."

Chu Yun's tears became more violent and he sobbed.

"Is it possible that the Prime Minister is really my father? My biggest wish since I was a child is to know who my parents are."

Xia Xue was stunned for a moment, and Chu Zhenxuan was also stunned for a moment.

The two looked at each other to confirm that they had heard correctly.

What Chu Yun said really meant that he wanted to know who his parents were.

That is to say, the relationship between Liang Ronghua and Chu Yun was established not long ago?

Or was Chu Yun being threatened?

"Liang Ronghua, when did I become your mother?"

Chu Yun was startled and took a step back.

Did he just say something?

The little face was instantly replaced by a look of deep vigilance.

"You are trying to trick me, right?" Chu Yun's eyes were full of hurt.

"No, no, you don't have to answer. In fact, we have almost finished our investigation, so you don't need to tell us. As long as the Prime Minister's people can rescue the other children, everything will be clear."

Suddenly, a noise came from the rockery two meters away.

Xia Xue watched a stone rolling down from the rockery.

"careful!"

Xia Xue grabbed Chu Yun.

Chu Zhenxuan jumped up and hit the stone with his palm.

Because the stone was moving too fast and was close to Xia Xue, Chu Zhenxuan only used 20% of his strength, and the edge of the stone still scratched Xia Xue's arm, and blood flowed out instantly.

"Aunt?"

Chu Yun grabbed Xia Xue's arm and tears flowed out again.

"Auntie, it's okay. Boys can't cry all the time." Xia Xue pinched his nose and said.

Chu Yun hugged Xia Xue's neck and said, "I'll tell you, my mother came to recognize me six months ago. I have been without parents since I was a child, and I especially longed to have a relative, so when she came, I was very happy. However, she is different from the mother in my mind. She never cooks hot meals for me, never says anything warm, but just makes me read books and memorize things non-stop. If I can't remember, she will beat me with a stick and whip me."
