Chapter 318 The Truth
"No, no, you can't kill us, we are your father." Nanny Lai paused.
She just said that that wasn't Huo Bing's biological father!
The two maids were shaking all over, almost falling apart. They knelt on the ground and crawled forward, crying, "Miss, don't listen to what Madam Lai said. We are all family-born children and know the real story!"
"Oh?" Huo Bing sat down again and asked in confusion, "Tell me what you think. Don't worry, I won't listen to bad things. Just tell me the truth you know. I will judge whether it is true or not."
She lost her memory, but she was not stupid. There were many loopholes in Lai Ma's words.
If her mother wanted to marry a man based on her family background, why would she have an affair with someone else? Even if she did, why would a lady of noble family, a lady who could act so arrogantly in the mansion and even ignore her parents-in-law, go out to find a groom?
She was not her father's child, and he reminded him all the time that he was cuckolded and hated her, but he didn't kill her in the mansion right under his nose, nor did he kill her when his maternal grandfather's family was in trouble and he was too busy to take care of her. Instead, he had to wait until he was exiled to kill her thousands of miles away?
Does this person have any brains? How did her mother like him?
Nanny Lai was treating her like a fool and tricking her.
"I heard from my mother that the master's family was poor, and he was a disciple of your grandfather. He took the initiative to ask for marriage, and your grandfather valued her talent and married her his only daughter, and also gave her a dowry of ten miles of red makeup!
His current large family business and successful career were all initially due to the dowry brought by his wife, your mother, and the support of his maternal family."
"Then your maternal grandfather's family got into trouble because the master sacrificed his own family for the sake of justice. Originally, married women would not be implicated, but the lady could not accept it and insisted on taking you into exile with her."
"For so many years, you are the only child of the master. In fact, the master has you in his heart and has been sending people to look for you. It's just that Aunt Qiu..."
Nanny Lai scolded her harshly, "Little Green!"
The maid named Xiaolu pursed her lips and said no more.
Feng Xing and Feng Tao were stunned when they heard this.
This has nothing in common with what the old lady said just now!
Even the complete opposite!
The mother Lai Mama said was relying on her family background to get married, but it turned out that her father was the one who took the initiative to ask for marriage by clinging to the powerful, and her mother was just following her parents' orders;
Her mother could have continued to live a rich and comfortable life without caring about her natal family, but she couldn't go against her conscience and resolutely chose to break off all ties.
And now the high and mighty officials were also disgusting men who relied on marrying up, swallowing up their wives' dowries, and stepping on their original wives to get to the top...
Also, since Sister Bing’s father has sent people to look for her, and she is his only child, there is no way he would want to kill her!
Feng Xing said excitedly, "Sister, it must be that Aunt Qiu who is behind this! Don't be fooled!"
Feng Tao then asked cheerfully, "Your father is a high-ranking official, so why don't you ask him about it? Then you can go and recognize him when you have the chance."
Are all the high-ranking officials in the capital?
Besides, Aunt Shen Qing is so good to Sister Bing, she will definitely not stop her from going to the capital. She might even send people and give her money.
Feng Xing quickly pulled her sister's sleeve and winked at her.
Ah Bing's maternal grandfather and his entire family were exiled because of their biological father, and her mother would rather take her children with her. Is there a hidden story behind this? For example, her maternal grandfather and his family were wrongly accused?
Otherwise, which mother would be willing to let her child suffer?
Her father did not stop Sister Bing when she was exiled, but he came to find her again after so many years. Did he not want to have only Sister Bing as his child, or did he become more and more hopeless as he got older and started looking for Sister Bing?
Huo Bing hummed inaudibly.
She must go looking for her relatives, but not her father, but her mother and maternal grandparents!
She looked at the three people on the ground and said coldly: "Keep talking, the more you say, the more truthful it is, the greater your chance of survival;
You can keep it secret or lie about it, it will be dawn in just over an hour, but you three will never see it again."
The three people kneeling on the ground no longer hesitated, and rushed forward to tell out everything they knew.
Huo Bing: .....It turns out her father's surname was Song, so she was originally called Song Bing. After she was exiled, her mother changed her surname to hers.
Mr. Song is already a second-rank official, holding a high position and great power. It will not be difficult for him to be promoted to the first rank in two years. He is also very powerful in the capital.
The Song Mansion now has no proper mistress. The head of the household is Concubine Qiu, who was her mother's maidservant during her dowry and the one her mother had saved. Unfortunately, she was an ungrateful person.
Concubines could not be promoted to wives. Master Song refused to marry a wife for the sake of Concubine Qiu. However, in the following years, he took many concubines and maids for the sake of having children. Unfortunately, none of them could give birth to children for Master Song, and he couldn't even give birth to a girl, which he originally disdained.
Yes, that's why I remembered myself after so many years...
After seeing that everything was vomited out, Huo Bing winked at Feng Xing and Feng Tao, and the two of them stepped forward. Amidst the three people's horrified expressions, each of them struck them with a knife, quickly, fiercely and accurately making the three people fall into a coma.
Feng Xing and Feng Tao moved the three people to the kang and then began to move things out of the room.
When Huo Bing was about to move, he heard Feng Xing say reluctantly, "Sister, you, you don't have to move, we'll do it!"
These clothes, fabrics, quilts, mattresses, and even camphorwood boxes are all good things. They will be useful if they are brought back, so they will definitely not let them go.
But Ah Bing was supposed to be a noble young lady, enjoying a life of luxury. It would have been fine if she didn't know before, but now that she knew, how could she be allowed to do such disgraceful things?
"What are you thinking about? Of course it's faster to move together. Let's move outside quickly and let them transfer to the car. After we move, we still have to find money. We can't waste time." Huo Bing said softly.
She knew what they meant, but she didn't think it was indecent, she just felt happy!
These silver, money, cloth and food originally belonged to her mother. She just took back some of the Huo family's property.
Thinking that it would be dawn in more than an hour, although few people get up early in the cold winter, the Chinese New Year is only two days away, and it would be bad to run into people on the road.
"good!"
The three of them worked together to move out the clothes, bedding, and camphor wood boxes, and even the kang table and armchair that could be placed in the carriage.
There were many men outside, so it was faster to move the things back and forth onto the donkey cart.
The three returned to the empty house and began to look for the place where the silver was kept.
I didn't ask Lai Pozi before because she wouldn't tell the truth. Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, so there must be more than one place to hide the silver.
Sure enough, Huo Bing was the first to discover that the bottom wooden board in the wooden cabinet was movable. After opening it, there were bricks underneath. She took out a hatchet and gently pried the bricks, revealing a long sandalwood box inside.
When the box was opened, inside were neatly arranged ingots of snow-white silver!
It was only a thin layer, but it was silver, not copper coins. Feng Xing and Feng Tao were delighted and immediately continued hammering elsewhere.
