Wei Yuanzhao frowned slightly, "According to what my mother said, after she got married, you should have no contact with each other again. Why is she still being kind to you?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Song showed a hint of embarrassment on her face.
"Mother." Wei Yuanzhao asked, "Don't hide it."
"Mom didn't mean to hide it from you. When I was pregnant with our son, your father received an order to go to Beijing to take office. Because I was pregnant and you were less than three years old, he took you, your grandfather, and your grandmother to stay in Guangzhou temporarily to avoid the bumps on the road. It was snowing and cold, and your grandfather was so sick that he had no appetite..." Mrs. Song lowered her eyes and said quietly: "I took you out to look for fresh fish to buy on the street, but unfortunately it was cold and no one set up a stall.
"I took you back to my grandfather's house for help, but I accidentally fell down on the way and had a fetal infection. I happened to meet Mrs. Liu who was following her husband into the city and back to her parents' home.In times of crisis, she lent a helping hand to me and allowed me to give birth at Liu's house, otherwise my son and I would have been in trouble."
Thinking of that day, Mrs. Song couldn't help but sigh, "Ms. Liu was so dedicated to helping her that she even had fetal motility. Fortunately, God blessed her and she was well-kept and was born earlier than me. Both mother and daughter are safe."
Mrs. Song vaguely remembered hearing the baby crying and saying "birthmark, blessing" before she almost fainted from the pain.
Wei Yuanzhao frowned when he heard this. It was snowing and freezing and he let his potbellied daughter-in-law take her child out?He snorted mockingly, "Mom, it was your grandfather or grandmother who forced you to buy fresh fish."
Mrs. Song's expression changed slightly, but in the end she smiled slightly and said softly: "It doesn't matter whether it is yes or no, that's in the past."
Wei Yuanzhao felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart. It seemed that his grandfather and grandmother had been dissatisfied with his mother a long time ago, and they did not change when they came to Beijing.
The Song family kept it secret, mostly for the sake of the peace of the family. His father was not a fool, and he should have seen it, so he has always protected his mother for so many years. Now he is too lazy to discuss right and wrong, and just asked: "At that time, my mother gave birth to the child in the Liu family, was there anyone else around her?"
Mrs. Song didn’t understand why Wei Yuanzhao asked this question, but she still recalled angrily, “After Mrs. Liu’s brother owed foreign debt, he left his parents without a trace because he was afraid that the creditor would come.At that time, Butcher Liu was seriously ill, and only Mrs. Liu and her mother were by my side."
"Mother..." Wei Yuanzhao said awkwardly, "Are you sure you gave birth to a boy?"
Song answered intuitively, “Of course I am sure."
"How to be sure?Did your mother see it with her own eyes?"
Hesitation appeared on Ms. Song's face. She fainted when she was giving birth. When she woke up, the child was already beside her. Mrs. Liu's mother said that she had given birth to a big fat boy. If she didn't give birth to a boy, what was it?
"Zhao'er, why do you ask such a ridiculous question?"
Wei Yuanzhao lowered his face and glared at Mrs. Song, "It seems that my mother is not sure."
Mrs. Song was shocked when she saw Wei Yuanzhao, "Zhao'er, mother is confused by you."
"Do you know that there are two daughters in the Zhao family?"Wei Yuanzhao asked.
"Of course I know.Mrs. Song nodded, "In order to express my gratitude to Mrs. Liu these years, I would send some cloth, food, and body-replenishing medicinal materials to the Zhao family, and occasionally exchange letters.""
"Since we have been connected for many years, the Liu family's eldest daughter is named Zhao Xue, who is her daughter?"
This question really troubled the Song family. In the past years of correspondence with Liu Caifeng, she only saw Liu Caifeng mentioning how good Zhao Xue was, but rarely heard Liu Caifeng mention this girl.
It wasn't that she hadn't asked before, but she remembered that her father Caifeng said that the child would have no continuation and was unlovable, so she didn't want to mention it more, so she didn't ask again.
"Mom, I just found out today that Madam Liu raised Zhao Xueqian in a loving way with the fabrics, grains, and body-building herbs you gave her, but the girl didn't even have a serious name, so she just called her Xiaoya—Zhao Xiaoya."
Zhao Xiaoya?Mrs. Song thought of the lovely girl who smiled and narrowed her eyes. Is she Liu's daughter?Her thoughts were a little confused. She was obviously gentle and polite, how could she not be lovable?She wished she had such a sensible daughter.
"Mom, think about it carefully. Is there anything wrong with you on the day you gave birth?"
No matter how late she was, Mrs. Song understood the implication of Wei Yuanzhao's words. She shook her head, "Impossible, impossible..."
"Mother." Wei Yuanzhao insisted, "Think carefully."
"I fainted."Ms. Song seemed to have lost her strength and was extremely frustrated, "I don't know anything."
Wei Yuanzhao's blood surged for a moment, and unprecedented anger struck him, "If you don't know, I will arrest him in front of you and let you find out clearly."
"Zhao'er?" Mrs. Song was shocked when she saw Wei Yuanzhao turn around and rush out, and quickly followed behind and shouted.
Wei Yuanzhao didn't stop and almost bumped into Mr. Wei Ge who had just left the court in front of the moon cave gate.
"How unbecoming it is to be frizzy!"Mr. Wei Ge couldn't help scolding him lightly.
Wei Yuanzhao glanced at Mr. Wei Ge hesitantly, but in the end he just cupped his hands and ran away quickly.
Mr. Wei Ge frowned, he had never seen this child so impatient, and then when he saw Mrs. Song running out, he immediately stretched out his hand to support her, "What's going on?Every one of them is inappropriate."
"Master.Mrs. Song felt flustered and grabbed Elder Wei Ge with her backhand, "Zhao'er just said something strange to me. The more I think about it, the more I don't understand.""
Mr. Wei Ge raised his eyebrows and patted Mrs. Song's hand reassuringly, "It's okay. Please tell me slowly. I'm responsible for all big things."
Mr. Song insisted on being helped into the room by Mr. Wei Ge. After calming down, she finally told the story of giving birth to a child.
Chapter 20: Life experience revealed (1)
After waiting in Kunyang Hou Mansion for a long time, Wei Yuanzhao saw Zhou Yitian coming out slowly and immediately asked: "Where is the person?""
Zhou Yitian's expression was indifferent, "Who?"
Wei Yuanzhao opened his mouth with complicated emotions, "Xiaoya."
"She rested."
Wei Yuanzhao frowned and looked outside. The sun had just set. It was still early, so he stopped now?
“You’ll know when you get married."
Zhou Yitian's faint words made Wei Yuanzhao so angry that he almost vomited blood, "Zhou Yitian, you are not a human being!"
Zhou Yue, who was serving tea, saw Wei Yuanzhao's angry face and thought that his master was indeed an expert. Even the gentle and elegant Master Wei was almost driven crazy by him.
Zhou Yitian drank tea and looked at the angry Wei Yuanzhao coldly.
“I sent someone to find Zhao Xue and her mother, you—” Wei Yuanzhao panicked, took a breath, and finally suppressed his anger, “You asked Xiaoya to come to the Wei Mansion."
If he doesn't get to the bottom of the matter today, he won't be able to sleep.
“You go back first."Zhou Juntian didn't say yes or no, he just put the cup on the table, stood up, and left without looking back.
"Zhou Yitian!"Wei Yuanzhao glared at Zhou Yitian's back angrily.
Zhou Yue could not help but sympathize with Wei Yuanzhao, and stepped forward and said softly, "Don't worry, Mr. Wei, as long as it is good to my wife, my father will do it."
After Zhao Xiaoya and Zhou Yitian got married, all the slaves changed their name to Madam.
Wei Yuanzhao's anger subsided slightly after hearing this.
Zhou Yue added, "Your Excellency, you can send someone to Yong'anfang to take a look."
Wei Yuanzhao's eyes lit up. He was originally worried that he would not be able to find Liu Caifeng's place to stay. But after Zhou Yue said this, he didn't care what he didn't understand and left the Hou Mansion immediately.
After returning to the main room, Zhou Yitian took off his outer robe that was stained by the cold air, stood by the stove for a while, and then went to bed.
Zhao Xiaoya moved, and Zhou Yitian grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.
She drowsily found a comfortable position in his arms, and asked sleepily: "Why are you here, Lord Wei?""
“I invite you to be a guest in the Wei Mansion."He used the word "guest". Zhao Xiaoya was his and had nothing to do with the Wei family. He lowered his head and kissed her cheek, "Do you like Mrs. Wei?"
She nestled in his arms. Although she didn't understand why he suddenly asked this question, she still answered honestly, "I like it."
His hands touched her round shoulders exposed outside the brocade quilt. The touch was so good that he wanted to take a bite. "If she were your mother, would you be happy?"
She couldn't help laughing, and now she finally opened her eyes and looked up into his dark eyes, "What's going on?Do you want me to recognize my adoptive mother?"
"In Mobei, after I saw in your letter that the person the Zhao family was benevolent to was Mrs. Wei, I sent Gu Liang back to the mountain village to investigate."
Zhou Yitian would not mention irrelevant things without reason. Zhao Xiaoya sat up and put her dress back on her body.
Zhou Yitian pouted. If he had a choice, he would rather stay in bed with Zhao Xiaoya, but he knew that he was leaving Beijing soon, and the sooner the matter could be resolved, the better.
