Chapter 143: Yin Fetus
It was not dark yet, so before going to Liu's house, Wei Qingyan decided to meet the concubine of the Liu family first.
The first time Wei Qingyan saw the girl, he could only think of two words: clean!
This kind of cleanliness is not just about clothing. In fact, the concubine of the Liu family was exiled and was intercepted by Su Mao's people on the way. Later, she was brought here by the secret guards of Prince Rong's Mansion.
Her clothes were dirty, but she exuded a clean temperament, like an elf in the mountains who was ignorant of the world.
She had thick black hair, cold white skin, and the veins on the back of her hands were clearly visible, but there wasn't a trace of sickly frailty.
Unlike Cui Yingying and the others who were starving to death at Princess Yu's farm, the Liu family's concubine's daughter had a healthy blush on her round face with baby fat, which showed that she was well taken care of.
Obviously, Su Mao's way of raising her was different from Cui Yingying and the others.
Otherwise, no one could grow into her plump body while drinking only water and being so hungry that she doesn't even want to talk.
"Are you saving me?" the girl spoke in a clear voice.
Wei Qingyan pursed his lips slightly.
The emperor wanted to wipe out the Liu family. In order to disrupt Su Mao's plan, Shi Yu ordered his men to kidnap the girl, which indirectly saved her life.
What Shi Yu saved could also be considered as her saving.
If the girl had never done anything wrong, she could save her life.
She nodded slightly.
A smile appeared on the girl's round face. "Thank you, sister, for saving me. Although I know that your rescue might be related to that old monster, but since you helped me escape from that old monster, you are a good person to me."
"Old monster?"
The girl blinked, "Sister, don't you know?"
Her pair of almond-shaped eyes, with distinct black and white, appear exceptionally clear and clean.
But she knew Su Mao and called him an old monster, which showed that she had some understanding of Su Mao's affairs.
As for those people in Princess Yu’s manor, they were thrown into prison and were unaware of Su Mao’s existence.
How could Wei Qingyan dare to think that such a girl was innocent? She nodded slightly, "I know. How are you going to thank me?"
"Sister, do you want to know what that old monster is doing all this? Where is he now?"
"You know?"
"In the past, my father didn't care for me, and my mother didn't love me. When I was hungry, I could only sneak into the kitchen in the middle of the night to find someone to eat.
Suddenly being treated to delicious food and drinks by them, shouldn't I be curious about why their attitude towards me has changed so drastically?
The girl's tone was a little proud, "No one knows the Liu Mansion better than me. I found a man in the west courtyard who looks exactly like my father.
But I could tell at a glance that he was not my father. My father did not have his same magnanimous demeanor, and my father would never call a woman of his age a good child.
My father and my stepmother have started to pay more attention to me. I don’t dare to talk to them, but I can start with their close associates.”
The smile on her face faded, turning into hatred, "They actually want me to carry a fetus for that old monster."
Wei Qingyan was surprised. It was not a cure for an illness, but a pregnancy.
That……
"The women he kept at Princess Yu's farm were also for the purpose of producing Yin fetuses?"
"No, there's only one Yin Tai." The girl shook her head, fear on her face, "He used those people in Zhuangzi to replenish his body with their own likeness.
I was originally going to die, but he changed his mind after he knew my birthday and ordered people to take good care of me."
"Su Mao is cautious, how could he let you know so much?" Wei Qingyan was suspicious.
The girl nodded as if she suddenly understood. "So his name is Su Mao, no wonder."
Wei Qingyan didn't ask in a hurry, no wonder, and waited for her to continue.
The girl pointed at herself and said, "My aunt despises me because I am her daughter and cannot be her favorite. She wishes she had never given birth to me and would never care about me. I have known how to pretend and how to survive since I was a child.
When they suddenly treat me nicely, I think it's pie in the sky, good days falling on my head. I look contented and listen to them in everything. But after a long time, they will eventually slack off.
Later, seeing that I was obedient, Su Mao allowed me to go to the West Courtyard occasionally, and I was able to know more things.
I know that the fetus was called Su Fu and died three years ago. I just don’t know what method Su Mao had to make him be reborn in my belly.
He coaxed me by saying that when I gave birth to Su Fu, I would have a lifetime of wealth and glory.
I pretended to be in love with him, and taking advantage of the fact that I was still a minor and he wouldn't touch me, I often went to the west yard to bother him.
He seemed to enjoy my admiration very much, so he let me do what I wanted. When he had nothing to do, he liked to read an ancient book.
Because I can't read, he doesn't guard against me.
However, I was worried because I knew that he was using like to replenish like. I had a hunch that giving birth to a child for such a demon would not be as simple as he said.
So, when he was reading, I pretended to be jealous and tried to tease him, secretly memorizing the words on that page in my mind. It was impossible for memorizing all of them.
But what I wrote down sporadically was enough for me to find someone to clarify my situation.
I then realized that once the fetus enters the body, it will eat away at the mother's body bit by bit until the mother is completely exhausted.
But before the Yin fetus can enter his body, Su Mao needs to have 49 Yin-born virgins, and he still needs three."
Similar to what Wei Qingyan and the others had guessed, she asked, "The change from once a year to once every forty-nine days using the same method to replenish the body is also related to the Yin fetus?"
The girl's face was briefly confused, and then she said truthfully, "I'm not sure about that. I was chosen three years ago, and when I learned about those things, it was already once every forty-nine days.
However, I once heard someone under him say that it was becoming increasingly difficult to arrest people now that there were more people wanted.”
"Then does he have any other alternative candidates?"
The girl shook her head. "No, I'm the only one in the Liu Mansion. When Zhuangzi's affair was exposed, he got really angry, saying that the prince had ruined his three years of hard work and that he had to start all over again."
That's it.
Wei Qingyan nodded in his heart.
After Su Fu's death, he began to "cure the disease" once every forty-nine days. Zhuangzi was destroyed by them. Although he was not in danger of his life at the moment, because he did not continue to "cure the disease" in the next forty-nine days, all his previous efforts were in vain.
Can.
"If you're saying that you're important to him, why doesn't he take you with him?"
“Firstly, it happened in a hurry.
Secondly, I am a concubine's daughter of the Liu family. Even if I am not favored, I will be recorded in the book when the family property is confiscated and the clan is exterminated.
If a person is missing from the list, the government will have to investigate, but if a fugitive is missing on the way to exile, the matter is much less serious.
The most important thing is that he has a new method that can directly resurrect Su Fu without having to carry a Yin fetus or wait for it to grow slowly."
Wei Qingyan was shocked, "What method?"
"I don't know how to do it specifically." The girl looked a little incredulous. "But Su Mao said that someone in Wei had succeeded in doing this before, and he left the capital to find that person."
"Who is that person? Where is he?"
