There was indeed such a saying back then.
Lu Yushi was demoted, and in the chaos, one of his daughters was lost. At that time, some old friends in the capital had asked people to find her, and many aristocratic families knew about it.
After that, it was settled because it was never found.
The reason why E Niang was quickly believed by many people was because she had such a past event.
Lu Yushi was demoted from the capital and could not come back again. Now there is a Miss Yushi in the capital who is of the right age. Even the nanny who was missing with him at the time said so, so naturally it is true.
Shao Wanru's watery eyes curved slightly, and he flapped the fan in his hand a few times calmly, creating a chill, and quietly watched the changes in the situation.
After a sudden rise and fall, let’s see how Shao Jing ends up.
Shao Jing's words sounded gentle, but the threat in them was very obvious. If the old lady really just met by chance, she would not really offend him or ruin his affairs.
Isn’t it a good thing to have a granddaughter in your family and become the wife of the Marquis of Xingguo
Anyone who picks up the Marquis of Xingguo's wife for nothing will not care about anything else. Whether it is true or not, it doesn't matter. At least it is enough to have the backing of the Marquis of Xingguo in Beijing. There is no way that Lu Yushi can come back because of this.
I think back then, the Xingguo Duke's Mansion was a home for powerful ministers. Although it is in decline now, what does an old lady in a marginalized position know? She would not dare to really offend Shao Jing.
E Niang was originally panicked, but when she heard what Shao Jing said, she immediately understood. After wiping her tears, she stepped forward to greet the old lady again: "Grandma, seeing you, I... I am so happy. I am still I thought I would never see you again in this life, but now it's better, you can stay in Beijing with me, and as for father, there is always a way."
E Niang's method was the same as Shao Jing's, and she spoke with a half-threatening tone. She was afraid that the old lady would accidentally let it slip that she and the missing Miss Lu were not alike at all.
Shao Jing said these words, but he didn't think anything of it, because his identity must be there, but when E Niang said it, it made people feel a little bit more mocking.
The identity of this person is still unknown, but she thinks that she is the wife of the Marquis of Xingguo. She also said that there is always a way. If a demoted official wants to return to the capital, how can it be that she, a woman in the inner house, has the final say? The so-called "there is always a way" really makes people feel ignorant and ridiculous.
Mr. Shao laughed mercilessly: "What the hell do you really think you are!"
"Third brother, be careful what you say!" Shao Jing's face darkened.
"I'm careful about what I said. I thought it was false at first glance, and I thought of using the Marquis' Mansion as a threat. Damn!" The third master let himself go more and more, saying whatever he wanted.
"Third brother, the old lady has admitted it, how can you say such things to humiliate my sister-in-law." Shao Jing couldn't bear it any longer. He picked up the cup at hand and threw it at the feet of Third Master Shao.
Third Master Shao was startled and did not expect Shao Jing to actually take action.
"Wait a minute, when did I admit it?" the old lady suddenly said.
"That's right, second brother, I didn't admit it at all. You are the only one who rushes to recognize me." The third master burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"What does the old lady mean?" Shao Jing looked at the old lady with a gloomy look on his face.
E Niang already felt bad, so she knelt down with a plop, hugged the old lady's knees and cried: "Grandma, although I belong to Mr. Hou... but my
There is nothing I can do at this time, you... How can you disown me just for some false reputation! "
"Old madam, there is nothing I can do about E Niang following me. If you feel that she has violated her nurturing, I will give you a gift here." Shao Jing stood up and bowed deeply to the old madam, giving her enough face. .
Based on this face, plus the face of the Xingguo Houfu, anyone with a sharp eye will definitely recognize E Niang.
"Old madam, since my granddaughter is like this, she is finally doing well now!" Mrs. Wen Xiang also said something, which seemed to be a sigh. No one wanted to have such a thing happen.
Even for an outsider, there was nothing that could be done. At that time and place, an orphan girl was weak and delicate, so it would be good to survive.
The three of them spoke to each other, and there was a hint of coercion in their words.
"Mrs. Wen Xiang, please stop talking now. If you continue to talk, the old lady will feel that our Marquis Mansion is forcing others. It is better for the old lady to say what she wants. Yes or no, there must be a reason. The old lady has not been here until now. None of them told the truth, maybe her identity is different!"
Shao Wanru interrupted the three people rudely. As soon as she opened her mouth, the other three people could only let her finish even if they wanted to say something.
After being interrupted by Shao Wanru, the old lady finally took a breath and looked at E Niang coldly, "Who are you and why are you pretending to be my granddaughter? I don't know you!"
"Grandma..." E Niang was horrified.
"Madam, I don't care what your status is or who you are, it has nothing to do with me. You can't use my granddaughter's reputation to ruin your reputation. Even as Mrs. Xingguohou, I will fight to the end. ." The old lady interrupted E Niang's words in a cold voice, becoming more and more rude.
A woman standing behind her stepped forward and looked warily at E Niang who was kneeling in front of the old lady: "Madam, it's not good for you to pretend to be someone else, but you pretend to be our lady. Our lady looks completely different from you. .”
"Grandma, I am really your granddaughter. You...how can you be so cruel..." E Niang's heart was trembling anxiously, but her face did not dare to show anything. She tightly grasped the hem of the old lady's clothes and begged.
Shao Jing's face darkened. This old woman really didn't know how to praise her. She refused to recognize the granddaughter of Mrs. Xingguo Hou, but she insisted that she was not.
"Hahaha, it is indeed a counterfeit. It's a fake. Second brother, where did you find this scumbag? You actually made such a big farce for such a scumbag woman." Mr. Shao laughed so hard that he fell back. It is to relieve qi.
"Old madam, you have to speak clearly. This is not your house. If you talk nonsense, you will be responsible." Shao Jing ignored Mr. Shao and said sternly.
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis. If this is false, I am willing to bear all responsibilities." The old lady said calmly.
Shao Jing slammed his hand on the table, "Take responsibility? I'm afraid that you, a little former censor's mother, can't bear the responsibility."
"If Lord Marquis doesn't believe it, you can ask someone from the Ministry of Punishment to come and verify the statement on the spot." The old lady said coldly, not being intimidated by Shao Jing's momentum.
Shao Jing was trembling with anger. He didn't know where this old woman came from, but she refused to take any advice. However, her identity had been confirmed by Mrs. Wen Xiang just now.
"Hou... Lord Hou... Isn't she... the maid next to the princess?" A timid voice suddenly came in, and someone appeared at the door.
A woman, who seemed to have come to report something, came in and saw E Niang. After being stunned for a while, she spoke tremblingly.
Originally these words were spoken very softly, but after the old lady finished speaking, there was a moment of silence, and the woman's voice became obvious.
"The maid next to my mother?" Shao Wanru raised her eyes and spoke before Shao Jing could, "Go and bring her here!"
Yujie hurried forward and led the mother-in-law in.
The mother-in-law knelt down in front of Shao Wanru.
"Tell me what's going on?" Shao Wanru asked calmly. Since she was talking about her mother, she could ask clearly.
"This is the maid next to the princess. She was with the princess before. Later, she was still serving the princess after she returned to the house. After something happened to the princess, she disappeared. Unexpectedly, she followed the prince." The mother-in-law. Report.
"Second uncle, what on earth is going on? Why is the maid next to my mother actually one of my second uncle's? And she was raised outside and gave birth to a daughter? Is there something mysterious here? Please invite second uncle Explain to me." Shao Wanru raised his eyes and looked at Shao Jing coldly.
I can finally raise my doubts legitimately!
Mr. Shao was also stunned for a moment, and looked at E Niang in astonishment. Most of E Niang's heads were lowered just now, or they were crying so hard that it was inconvenient for him to keep staring at people. When he looked carefully, he also saw that He figured it out, patted his thigh and said, "Yes, it's the maid next to my sister-in-law. Whatever her name is, she's the only maid who came back with my sister-in-law."
Not to mention, I really didn’t expect that there were many maids around Princess Qinghua. No one thought that this maid would follow Shao Jing and use her sister-in-law as an auxiliary room. This sounds shameless and outrageous.
"No wonder I had to find the identity of the censor's daughter, but she turned out to be my sister-in-law's maid." Mr. Shao suddenly realized it. He looked at Shao Jing and saw that his face was turning blue and white at this time, and he laughed in relief.
"How presumptuous!" Shao Jing said sternly, "Someone, pull this nonsense slave down and hold him accountable."
"Wait a minute, this matter concerns my mother. Before asking clearly, I'll see who dares to take action." Shao Wanru sneered, his eyes falling coldly on Shao Jing's face, tit for tat.
At this moment, she no longer hides her edge.
"The hatred of killing a mother is irreconcilable. If this woman is really related to my mother, she might have secretly attacked my mother."
Taking the sister-in-law's maid outside the house seems shameless on the surface, but if you think about it carefully, you feel terrible. Was this maid left with Princess Qinghua early on, or was she taken in later? If it was Shao Jing who lost his life early, does that mean that Shao Jing never had any good intentions towards his elder brother and sister-in-law
The elder brother and sister-in-law are no longer here. One of them died in a foreign land, and the other died of madness. Neither of them had a good end, but it was Shao Jing who benefited. In addition to what Jiang said at the door of the house before, this topic is not immoral. !
The face of Mrs. Wenxiang who was sitting on it changed drastically. She was not stupid, and she was also a little suspicious of E Niang, but even so, she still supported E Niang. But if what she said was true, she would be embarrassed along with her. He was angry and resentful for a moment, and gave Gu Xishu a fierce look at the side.
"Princess Chen, please don't talk nonsense!" Shao Jing was angry and resentful. Things were stuck in one place and he had to face Shao Wanru, especially in front of all the people waiting for him. This was originally what he didn't want to do. matter.
