"master!"
The old housekeeper just came out of the Hundred Beasts Tower and saw Dongfang Rui standing there alone. He couldn't help but be shocked. Did Miss Su Li leave? !
"Wu Bin, why didn't that girl leave alone without giving me a chance to speak?"
The old slave who was called "Wu Bin" was suddenly startled, and immediately comforted him: "Master, maybe she is really not your daughter. When the one left, no one knew she was pregnant. Although the body was brought later, I have discovered this fact, but no one knows whether your daughter... is still alive in this world!"
Dongfang Rui had no expression on his face, spread out his right hand and asked, "What about the jade pendant? What's the explanation for this jade pendant?"
"this… "
The old housekeeper sighed in his heart, "Perhaps that girl picked up the jade pendant somewhere, and kept hearing news about you from somewhere, so she came to try her luck. Maybe she was playing a trick of lust, sir. You must calm down!"
Snapped!
Another hard slap, Dongfang Rui said angrily, "You bastard! You stopped me back then, but now you are disturbing my thoughts. Do you really want me to live this life without any children?!"
"Of course not! Master, I naturally hope to find the young lady..."
The old butler covered his face and hurriedly explained that it was precisely because of his guilt that he gave up his promising future in the palace and was willing to be an old servant next to Dongfang Rui.
Over the years, even though Dongfang Rui often beat and scolded him, he never complained at all.
Because back then, when he personally brought that body back, he knew that he would never be able to repay the debt he owed in this life.
…
"...This master, have you ever seen half a jade pendant on the road?"
Su Zipei walked up to Dongfang Rui step by step. She was dirty all over and cried pitifully, "My mother left me the jade pendant, but I lost it."
is her!
The old housekeeper was full of astonishment, it was the little girl he met on the road.
Dongfang Rui looked at Su Zipei who was crying in front of him, and his eyes suddenly widened, "What's your name?"
Su Zipei looked confused, but still replied: "My name is Su Zipei."
Also named Su...
Dongfang Rui is completely confused, which one is her daughter
"My jade pendant!"
Su Zipei suddenly saw the corner of the jade pendant in Dongfang Rui's hand, her eyes were bright, and her whole body seemed to come to life. She stepped forward to grab it with one hand, turned around and ran away.
"This child's upbringing..."
Dongfang Rui felt disgusted when he saw it, but he just thought that if his daughter really lived alone these years and no one taught her the principles of life, it would be understandable that she would be like this.
However, deep down in his heart, Dongfang Rui still hopes that Ling Li didn't lie. After all, Su Li is more similar to her.
"Master, please leave this matter to me. I will definitely find out the origins of these two young ladies."
Dongfang Rui nodded slightly, and suddenly felt the world spinning, and he couldn't stand steadily. The housekeeper was so frightened that he quickly supported him.
Pushing the butler away, Dongfang Rui waved his hand, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired. Go back."
"The auction house matter -" The butler asked about business. Dongfang Rui had already stepped into the sedan, and his voice came from the sedan, "Let Commander Hu handle it. Except for the jade pendant, don't worry about anything else."
"Yes, sir."
After the sedan chair left, Commander Hu received a message from the butler and immediately laughed loudly: "Commander Wu, I will take care of this matter. How is your health after not seeing you for many years?"
The old housekeeper quickly waved his hand, "What are you doing, commander? I have resigned from my position for more than ten years, and now I am just an old servant beside the master."
"Tong...Senior Wu, why did you bother in the first place?"
Commander Hu sighed, and the old housekeeper shook his head, "A mistake is a mistake. The master is in poor health. I will go back and take care of him first. You can do your work."
Seeing the old butler's hunched body leaving in a hurry, Commander Hu felt complicated. At that time, he was just a soldier beside Wu Bin. If it weren't for his appreciation, there would be no way that he would be the president of Yuyun Army.
"It's really like a white cloud. Everything in the world is impermanent..."
Hu boldly sighed in his heart, put down the things he was collecting meat in the square, and strode towards the Beast Tower.
Ling Li leaned by the window on the seventh floor and watched the whole process, with many thoughts in his mind. After thinking about the reasons, a cold look flashed in his eyes. When he was in Dasu Town, Su Li was so bullied by the Su family that he actually never doubted Su Li's life experience.
In other words, it was Su Li's hard-working attitude that confused him.
There is obviously a story behind the jade pendant today, and it is very likely that he hit it accidentally, causing Dongfang Rui to meet the real owner.
"Ling Qinglan has recovered recently and has nothing to do. She has asked me for errands many times. Haha... isn't this going to cause trouble?"
…
The origins of Su Zipei and Su Li were not easy for Prince Rui's Mansion to investigate. In just one afternoon, Wu Bin found out the details of the two.
"These two girls are actually sisters?!"
Wu Bin was shocked when he got the result. Speaking of which... could the lady give birth to twins
no!
Before getting the exact news, it's better not to get too excited.
"I would like to tell the people below not to tell the master beforehand. I will change my clothes and go out while you wait to guard the mansion."
Most of the guards guarding the palace were the soldiers who were around Wu Bin back then. Because of what happened back then, he had worked hard to build up the defense force of the palace, and the elite force left in the palace even exceeded the group of people around Hu Daring.
Putting on the official uniform of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Wu Bin looked at his clothing and made sure that nothing was missing, then he rushed to the Su family's residence.
At the same time, Su Zipei returned to the house and came to Zhu Yan's room only to find that the mysterious masked woman was there.
Zhu Yan's eyes were full of excitement, and she grabbed Su Zipei's hand, "Zipei, your chance has finally come, my mother's hard work has not been in vain!"
Su Zipei looked at her mother blankly, she had not yet reacted to today's thrill.
Tuk Tuk—
Wu Bin knocked on the door of Su Mansion. The concierge opened the door with a puzzled look on his face. When he saw it was an official, his expression immediately became respectful: "What does this gentleman do for you?"
Wu Bin pointed at the roster in his hand and said with a smile, "Is Mr. Su at home?"
The porter shook his head and hurriedly opened the door, "The young master is busy with business and has not been home for many days. Sir, please come in and stay for a while. I will ask the young master to come out."
Wu Bin nodded, and after being led to the main hall of the front room, the concierge trotted away and disappeared into the courtyard path.
Wu Bin took a look at the architectural style of the Su family and found that although the Su family was a little-known family, it was also very ingenious in the layout of the yard. The young lady's adoptive mother... should be a well-educated and reasonable woman. In this way, It is most likely that Su Li is the master's daughter.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps came.
Wu Bin stood up quickly and saw Su Huanli hurried over. He clasped his fists and said with a smile: "It is a sin for me to miss you when you come to greet me from afar. The dog has not returned yet. May I ask your surname why you visited my house?" "
Wu Bin nodded in return and said the excuse he had thought up before: "It doesn't matter if Mr. Su is not at home. I am the inspector of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so my surname is Wu. Mr. Su moved here, and the Su family has not been registered yet, so this The official is here to register the Su family."
"I see!"
Su Huanli suddenly smiled and bowed repeatedly: "It's really hard for you to work so hard at night. I will call my family here to cooperate with you to register."
"So good!"
Wu Bin breathed a sigh of relief. This guy named Su Huanli was simple-minded and easy to deal with.
Not long after, Su Cui, Zhu Yan, Li Yuelian, Su Qinghao, and Su Zipei all arrived, except Su Li. When Wu Bin saw Li Yuelian and Zhu Yan, he secretly thought that there were two wives in the Su family, so it was hard to tell what he had guessed before.
"Su Huanli, forty-two years old, formerly from Dasu Town, Qinghe County..."
"Zhu Yan, thirty-nine years old, formerly from Dasu Town, Qinghe County..."
"Li Yuelian, thirty-eight years old, formerly from Dasu Town, Qinghe County..."
"Su Qinghao..."
Wu Bin patiently waited for Su Zipei.
"Su Zipei, ten..."
Su Huanli was about to tell Su Zipei's information, but Zhu Yan jumped out and said with a smile: "Sir, let me do it. Zipei and Li'er are both my daughters. I know their ages best."
Su Huanli suddenly felt polite. To be honest, he remembered the ages of his two sons. He didn't really know exactly how old the two women were. He only knew that they were of marriageable age.
Upon hearing this, Wu Bin raised his head and looked at Zhu Yan. Since Su Li and Su Zipei were both her daughters, this person was definitely the young lady's adoptive mother.
The year my wife ran away was seventeen years ago. She was born in ten months of pregnancy. The young lady was sixteen years old. It would be best if we could tell the difference in age.
"Su Zipei, sixteen years old, born in Qinghe Town..."
"Su Li, seventeen years old,..."
Wu Bin paused with his hand and raised his head with blazing eyes, "Are you serious about this?"
Zhu Yan was frightened by Wu Bin's sharp gaze and took a few steps back, but nodded without hesitation, "Of course, it's just information about two daughters. How dare a little woman deceive adults."
"What about the birth dates? Tell us the birth dates of your two daughters!"
Zhu Yan's expression changed slightly. Of course she remembered Su Zipei's birth date, but that was useless. Su Li's... she didn't even remember it, let alone tell.
Zhu Yan's reaction made Wu Bin think he had grasped the key.
This woman couldn't tell Su Zipei's date of birth, but it was immediately clear that Su Zipei was the child that Zhu Yan picked up and raised!
And it seems that Zhu Yan has kept this news alone for many years, and even Su Huanli doesn't know about it. No wonder he failed to find the Su family when he thoroughly investigated Qinghe County.
Great, the lady is still alive!
For a moment, he looked at Su Zipei with gentle eyes, but he didn't know that behind the latter's confused expression was a restless and ecstatic heart.
Turning around, Wu Bin's expression became much more respectful. He bowed to Zhu Yan and said, "I just asked casually. Since Madam doesn't want to answer, forget it. My master will come to visit me tomorrow. I also hope that Madam Zhu will Are you ready with your concubine Su Zipei?"
"What preparation?"
Su Huanli was confused and frightened. Why did he ask for some basic information? The official's master was coming to visit
Wu Bin laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "Mrs. Zhu must be well aware of the specific matter. I would like to thank Madam Zhu for raising the young lady for many years."
After saying that, he bowed deeply, exited the mansion, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Xiaoyan, what...what's going on? What do you mean, sir?" Mrs. Su Cui was confused, but she still asked with a happy face.
After the adult asked about Su Zipei and Su Li, his attitude towards Zhu Yan immediately became extremely good!
It must be a good thing!
"well… "
Zhu Yan pretended to lament, "Let me tell you the truth, Master. In fact, Zipei is not my biological child, but a child that happened to be picked up from outside."
