Speaking of this matter, it is actually a confusing matter.
Because Duke Yu’s wife was demoted, the Emperor in the capital sent someone to bring the couple, a servant and a guard to the capital.
The wife of Duke Yuguo was pregnant at the time and was not supposed to be on the road. However, the emperor's envoy urged them to go, and they were under criminal surveillance, so they were not sure what would happen after arriving in the capital, so they had to rush to the capital.
They were heading all the way to the capital and were about to arrive, but when they were outside the city, the wife of Duke Yuguo suddenly went into labor and had premature labor. She walked so fast on the road that she lost her fetus.
Duke Yu could only beg the imperial envoy to stay nearby and give birth to the child first. The child was born at night, and although it was a daughter, Duke Yu and his wife were very happy. Duke Yu wanted to discuss with the imperial envoy that he would go to the capital to report tomorrow, and his wife would stay outside the city for a few more days and return to the capital after she recovered.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left, someone rushed into the delivery room. The servants tried their best to protect the baby, but the baby was still snatched away. When Duke Yu got the news and chased after him, he met the man face to face and a fight broke out on the spot. The man died. The child was snatched back, but they found that the girl had turned into a boy, and the swaddling clothes were not the one they had prepared.
The wife of Duke Yuguo fainted at that moment.
Duke Yu sent people to look for him, but there was no news.
The next day, the emperor sent them to report to the capital first. Duke Yu had no choice but to bring his wife back to the capital. They were then investigated by the emperor and the entire family was put under surveillance.
By the time the matter was settled, it was several months later. The wife of Duke Yu fell seriously ill. Although Duke Yu was still looking for the child, he could not do it in a high-profile manner. The child was also pitiful, and they were considered to be destined to have a child, so he announced to the public that he had given birth to twins and the daughter was missing.
The Yuguo Mansion was in decline at that time, and former close friends almost no longer kept in touch with each other. Only one or two close friends knew the news and helped to search secretly, but no one dared to make a big move and only searched in secret. In the end, they found nothing. The place was originally remote and not many people came here usually. The boy's swaddling clothes were all of good quality, and they could be seen to be from a wealthy family.
They are not locals, but just passing by.
She passed by this place and gave birth to a child who looked very much like her own. Even if she found this family, she might not be able to find her daughter. Her daughter's whereabouts were unknown, or the man who kidnapped her had run away.
With so many things to consider and no news, few people knew what happened in Duke Yu's mansion, and those who knew thought that the baby was twins.
A boy and a girl, twins, but unfortunately the girl is missing.
Those who were on good terms with Duke Yuguo all sighed in private, and they also understood the heartache that had plagued Duke Yuguo's wife for many years.
Who can bear it if something like this happens
This is also the important reason why the wife of Duke Yuguo has been recuperating in a farm outside the city for so many years, but no one came to disturb her.
Those who have a bad relationship with you will not come to your home at this time, and those who have a good relationship with you and know the inside story will not come to your home at this time either.
Even the emperor in the palace knew that Duke Yu's legitimate daughter disappeared shortly after she was born because of the previous incident in Beijing. Although the imperial envoy was severely punished later, it was too late.
It is said that the wife of Duke Yuguo was ill, so when the Empress summoned the ladies of the palace, she would avoid her.
For the sake of her daughter, Lady Yuguo had left the capital's social circle for more than ten years. But after talking to Nanny Zhou about it, she realized that she had made the wrong choice.
Xiaoyue
The nunnery where Shi lived was not far from where she was at the time, separated by a small mountain. The babies were born in the two places that same night, almost at the same time.
Afterwards, Duke Yu wanted to look for her again but was stopped by the imperial edict and had to leave. After Xiao Yue found a daughter, that was no longer possible.
When the people from Qu Mansion arrived, Qu Zhizhen took his people away on the same day.
The nunnery was afraid of taking responsibility, so they didn't dare say anything more or spread the news. They tried to minimize the talk in this regard, and even said they wouldn't say a word about whether Xiao Yue had given birth to a child.
People from the Yuguo Mansion also came secretly later, but when they saw that the place was in a dilapidated state, they just asked casually and naturally didn't get to know anything.
Then the place was neglected.
Unexpectedly, there would be a day for them to meet again. Lady Yuguo stood up excitedly and looked at Qu Moying excitedly, "You... you are my daughter, the daughter I just gave birth to... this is true, Nanny Zhou also said just now that those things were prepared by them, yours... yours were prepared by me, your father and I... prepared them a long time ago."
"There was a red mark at the corner of your eye. It was even more obvious when you were just born. I also told people about it when I asked them to look for you later... I told them about it... So... you... you are really my daughter."
Lady Yuguo was afraid that Qu Moying would not believe her, so she took out the things that Madam Zhou had just brought. When she went to invite Madam Zhou, she had already prepared for her to bring some old things. "This peony flower on top... was embroidered by me... but I didn't embroider it very well... so... so there are two stitches missing here, and I... I added them later, but the color is slightly different."
Lady Yuguogong almost staggered to behind Qu Moying, tightly holding the old swaddling clothes in her hand, with a strip of it torn off. She pointed at a spot on it, her lips trembling.
She had waited for too long, so long that she thought it was impossible. But when she saw her daughter again, she realized that she was still there. Not only that, but she was also alive and well. Tears fell down her cheeks. She was now only afraid that her daughter would not believe her and would not recognize her.
Qu Moying's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Because of the matter between Xiao Yue and the Duke of Qi's Mansion, she originally didn't have much thought about her biological parents. In this world, blood relatives are not necessarily close, and sometimes they can even be deadly poisons. Not knowing may make life worse than knowing, so it is better to know nothing.
If you can find it, that's great; if you can't, forget it.
Or even if they find it, in the end there is nothing they can do.
In Qu Moying's heart, she was not so obsessed with this kinship. Even if she found it, she would take a look at it first before deciding whether to recognize it or not.
If this family had to give up on her because of various interests, she would not have acknowledged it.
Now, seeing the appearance of the wife of Duke Yuguo and hearing what she said, a bitter feeling rushed up in my heart. My originally calm heart was shaken by this bitter feeling, and tears rolled down my beautiful eyes.
Her long eyelashes fluttered twice and finally closed. It turned out that she was not as calm as she had imagined.
It turns out that I also longed for it, but because of my mother's matter, I didn't dare to have any hope for my blood relatives...
When I opened my eyes again, the corners of my eyes were already wet...
"Mother
" She murmured to herself, her heart throbbed, her long eyelashes trembled unconsciously twice, she thought it was difficult to say it, but when she saw the pained look in the eyes of Lady Yuguogong, the words came out of her mouth.
"Yes... I am your mother, and you are my daughter." Lady Yuguo reached out and hugged Qu Moying, crying loudly.
Qu Moying's hands fell on both sides, then slowly stretched out, and finally fell on the waist of the wife of Duke Yuguo. He patted it gently, and his nose wings felt sore.
Ji Yanyue looked at the scene in front of her blankly, too shocked to say a word. She knew something. She knew that the mother had lost a daughter, one of the twins, a boy and a girl. So now she has found her daughter
Cousin becomes sister
No, not my cousin
Ji Yanyue didn't know how to sort out this relationship for a moment. She just felt a headache. But even though she had a headache, she was happy. Looking at the mother and daughter hugging each other, she was envious and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
All the confidants in the hall, whether they were Madam Yuguo or Qu Moying, all of them had tears in their eyes when they saw their master like this.
They all feel that their masters have a hard time.
After a long while, the wife of Duke Yuguo finally stopped talking under the persuasion of the crowd, but she still held Qu Moying's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would suddenly disappear. "My daughter is back, my daughter is really back."
These words came out of her mouth from time to time. Even when looking at Qu Moying like this, she did not dare to take it lightly. It was because she was not paying attention that the child was snatched away by someone.
Her daughter, her child, her only child, was gone just like that.
Seeing that the wife of Duke Yuguo had a strange expression on her face, she squeezed Qu Moying's wrist so hard that it almost made her cry out in pain. She stared at Qu Moying with her eyes wide open, as if she would suddenly disappear.
Knowing that she had a demon in her heart, Qu Moying pulled Madam Yuguo down to sit on a chair. She also sat down beside her and reached out her other hand to gently pat Madam Yuguo's hand: "Mother, I'm back. I'm your daughter. I'm back. Everything is fine!"
Her voice is soft, sweet and clear, which makes people feel good and can soothe people's emotions.
Lady Yuguo of Duke Yuguo was pacified, and her body gradually relaxed. Nanny Wu hurried forward and gently called out to Lady Yuguo of Duke Yuguo to let go of Princess Ying's hand first. She felt pain watching from the side, as she knew how much strength the lady was using to hold Princess Ying's hand. In just a blink of an eye, she saw that Princess Ying's wrist seemed to be swollen.
“Daughter, you… you… are really my daughter?” Lady Yuguogong slowly relaxed, her hand dropped, her eyes still fixed on Qu Moying. She still didn’t quite believe what she saw, afraid that it was just a dream, so she sought confirmation once more.
"Mother." Qu Moying said softly.
"Is he really back?" Lady Yuguogong said unconfidently.
"I'm really back. Don't worry, mother. I'm fine." Qu Moying said again, knowing that it was time to comfort the wife of Duke Yuguo first. The guilt and pressure she had been carrying for so many years had become a mental illness for the wife of Duke Yuguo.
"She's really back. She's really my daughter." Lady Yuguo looked at Qu Moying, and then burst into tears again. This time she wasn't as crazy as before. After some persuasion from Nanny Wu, she stopped, but immediately became anxious again.
"Ying'er, let's go to Qu's house and explain this to him."
