The midwife was lying on the ground, shaking violently, but she was still able to speak fluently: "The other one had bruises all over her body, but she didn't cry much when she came out. She didn't cry until I patted her on the butt and held her upside down. She didn't have much energy either. This little girl was born to the lady who had many servants. I felt it was a pity that such a precious young lady might not live long, so I helped her wash her body and wrapped her in a small quilt. I clearly remember that this young lady had a brown birthmark on her waist."
Everyone was silent.
Lord Qin coughed with his hands curled up in embarrassment.
This means that whether Su Yao is the fourth daughter of the Su family can be confirmed by just checking.
That’s good too, we’ll know clearly after testing it.
Everyone thought so too.
Just as Lord Qin was about to speak, Madam Shen could not help but scold him, "You are talking nonsense! We have never seen any birthmarks on Yaoyao! I have been carrying her since she was born, don't I know? Besides, you are just making up stories about her being weak and covered in bruises! She is clearly fine!"
Mrs. Shen was so angry that she didn't know what to do. Looking at Su Yao, she just felt pity for her daughter.
If she could do it again, no matter what the Bo family said, she would never send Su Yao back. If she didn't want him, why did she come to pick him up in the first place
Mrs. Su Si said coldly, "She really doesn't have any birthmarks on her body. You can tell once you test her. The Shen family couple knew this long ago, so they are making excuses now."
Lord Qin felt that his head was going bald.
He glanced at Su Yao who was calm and composed beside him, and couldn't help but hesitate in his heart. He asked the midwife sternly: "Do you know what the crime is if you give false testimony? After so many years, how come you still remember that the child has a birthmark? If you remember it wrongly, do you know what the consequences will be? "
The midwife was so frightened that she almost jumped up, and hurriedly said, "No mistake, no mistake! The birth happened that night, and there were bandits being captured by soldiers everywhere. Although everyone was busy, the two families gave a lot of rewards, especially this lady. Her family gave me fifty taels of silver! Fifty taels is enough for my family to live on for three years, so I remember it clearly..."
Lord Qin was a little worried.
Now there are witnesses, the midwife and Mrs. Su San are both witnesses.
The physical evidence was also complete. The midwife, Mrs. Su San, and Mrs. Shen all said that Su Yao had no birthmark on his body at all.
That is to say, Su Yao is not the child who was born in the chaos of war.
Can... ...
He glanced at Xiao Heng beside him again, and was about to speak when Xiao Heng chuckled softly.
With just this one sound, the entire court fell silent at once.
The aura of someone who has killed people and seen blood is different, especially since he is a famous god of killing. Even if he stands there with a smile on his face, he has an intimidating and murderous aura that ordinary people cannot match. What's more, although he is smiling now, there is a gloom between his brows and eyes, and he looks difficult to approach.
"She's just a midwife." Xiao Heng's face darkened. "Whatever she said is true. Mrs. Su San actually believed it. Could it be that her words are the golden rule and are more trustworthy than your own daughter?"
He pointed at the midwife and raised his eyebrows nonchalantly: "Mrs. Su San gave birth on the way to Taiyuan. You were so far away, who found you and brought you back? Mrs. Su San? Mrs. Su San was fine, why did she suddenly doubt her daughter's background?"
Mrs. Su San stuck out her neck. Others were afraid of Xiao Heng, but she was not afraid at all.
This damn girl Su Yao was just relying on Xiao Heng's support behind her that made her act so unscrupulously towards her mother without any respect at all.
And as for the people in the Su family, isn't it the same? Isn't it because Xiao Heng is behind them that they look up to Su Yao
Anyway, it has come to this. Even without this incident, Su Yao would still be a stranger to her. So why should she still care about their friendship
Mrs. Su San was getting impatient: "Your Highness, although you are of noble status, do you have to intervene in the family affairs of a minister like this? I have my reasons for suspecting that Su Yao is not my biological daughter. Otherwise, I would not be crazy. Why would I have to search so hard? What, Your Highness, do you want me to hold my nose and admit that this child is not mine? Even if you are the eldest grandson, I am afraid that this is unreasonable!"
Lord Qin wiped the sweat off his head. He didn't expect Mrs. Su San to be so aggressive. He quickly scolded: "How dare you!"
"I'd like to hear what your reason is!" A breathless scolding came from the door, and then Old Mrs. Su came in from outside, supported by Mother Ji. When she came up, she looked at Mrs. Su San with a sneer, and then reached out and slapped Mrs. Su San in the face without hesitation.
After all, this was in the court. Even though Lord Qin was stunned by the slap, he still subconsciously shouted, "How dare you! This is a court. How can you be so presumptuous!"
The yamen runners at the door were also caught off guard, but Old Madam Su was so aggressive that they didn't react to stop her. Their superiors didn't give any orders, and when they came to their senses, Old Madam Su had already gone in.
At this time, when Lord Qin scolded her, Old Madam Su became serious and looked at Madam Su San, whose left face was swollen from being beaten. "It's really ridiculous. As a grandmother, I didn't even know that my granddaughter was not the daughter of our Su family! She was even sued in court! Come and tell me, I want to hear you explain it clearly. How can you say that her background is fake without any evidence? "
Madam Su San was already numb from being beaten. Although there were so many people around, she strangely, for some reason, did not feel much humiliation. She sighed and loudly retorted tit for tat: "Because I am Madam Su San, and I am the one who gave birth to the child! As a mother, don't I know whether my daughter is my biological daughter? She has never been close to me and has never respected or loved me. How can blood be like this? I became suspicious and sent people to check her background. What's wrong with that?! I know you have tried your best to curry favor with His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor, and you hope that it can be a good marriage, but it's just that, it's not, it's not, she is clearly not my daughter, why should I acknowledge her?!"
Mrs. Su San was not afraid at all. She stiffened her neck and sneered, fearing that she would not completely anger Mrs. Su. She looked at Su Yao with an increasingly provocative look, "My daughter died a long time ago, she died a long time ago!"
