Zhao Xiaoya was sitting on the chair, and happened to see Wei Zhaotong across from him, who was shrinking in pain and holding his stomach, but still stared at Zhou Yitian fiercely.
Seeing him in such a mess, Zhao Xiaoya's heart fluctuated, remembering that she was pushed into the water in her previous life - at that time, Wei Zhaotong should have known about her life experience before killing her, and wanted to die without proof.
This makes sense. She had lived peacefully in the capital for many years without making any enemies. She was just an inconspicuous person, but she died unexpectedly after meeting Zhao Xue and Liu Caifeng.
She quietly put her hand into Zhou Yitian's palm, and the chaotic thoughts caused by seeing Wei Zhaotong slowly calmed down.
Although Wei Yuanzhao was angry with Zhou Yitian for concealing the fact that everyone was in a hurry to marry Zhao Xiaoya, he was so shocked when he came that Liu Caifeng and Zhao Xue did not even dare to cry. Wei Zhaotong also shrank his neck, his ears were much quieter, and his tone of voice suddenly became better, "Who else will come?"
Zhou Yitian took Zhao Xiaoya's hand and squeezed it gently without even looking at her.
Wei Yuanzhao rolled his eyes.
Mrs. Song wiped her tears with a blank look in her eyes. She didn't know whether to ask Wei Zhaotong about his injury or to ask Zhao Xiaoya for a few words.
Seeing that she was restless, Mr. Wei Ge sighed and wanted to comfort him, but in the end he chose to remain silent. Now his heart was also in confusion. Zhao Xiaoya guessed that the person waiting was Father Zhao, but in the end he realized that she was still not as thoughtful as Zhou Yitian.
Chapter 20: Life experience revealed (2)
Everyone was waiting for not only Father Zhao, but three people.
Liu Caifeng trembled when she saw Father Zhao being carried into the house.
Zhao Xue's face turned pale when she saw Li Hu and her son, who were following behind Mr. Zhao and looking up in all directions.
When Aunt Li saw her, she glared at her with hatred, wishing that two holes would be made in her body. If Gu Liang hadn't stopped her, she would have gone up and slapped her twice.
"Say it." Zhou Yitian ignored the people with different expressions and said directly.
After being put down, Mr. Zhao struggled to kneel down and burst into tears. "It's my fault. It's my fault. I'm crazy. I deserve to die."
Mrs. Song only met Mr. Zhao once when Liu Caifeng got married. Now many years have passed and she has long lost her memory. She was about to speak but was stopped by the cold-faced Mr. Wei Ge, so she could only remain silent.
"My name is Zhao Ming. We did have two children that year."
"Old man, what nonsense are you talking about!" Liu Caifeng rushed over and beat Zhao Lao, "I will fight with you, neither of us will survive today!"
Father Zhao was beaten to the point where he was helpless and fell to the ground.
Gu Liang stepped forward and waved Liu Caifeng aside with a gentle tug.
Liu Caifeng shouted: "He is talking nonsense, he is crazy!"
Wei Zhaotong's face was pale. Looking at everything in front of him, he felt that his world was about to collapse.
With tears streaming down his face, Father Zhao got up with difficulty and kowtowed to Mr. Wei Ge and Madam Song. "The children were born almost at the same time that day, but..." He looked at Madam Song who looked shocked and said, "Madam passed out. We were so obsessed that we changed the child."
Elder Wei Ge looked complicated, "That's the son of your Zhao family, how can you let it go?"
Father Zhao burst into tears, "I have no future, and even if I have a child, I will live a hard life with you, but it is different with an adult. The adult is well-educated and wants to go to Beijing to become a high official. It is definitely better for the child to be raised in an adult's home than to grow up in a village."
Mr. Wei Ge was so angry that his face turned red. He thought he was so smart that he didn't even know that his child had been stolen.
His eyes fell on Zhao Xiaoya, but he saw that her eyes were not looking at him, his biological father, but at his adoptive father, who was kneeling down and crying bitterly.
His heart throbbed.
Zhao Xiaoya looked at Father Zhao with pity, and now she finally understood why he always looked at her with complicated eyes. The fact that a person who had been honest all his life was replaced by someone else's child was a big stone that he could never remove from his heart.
"No! You are talking nonsense, you are not my parents!" Wei Zhaotong jumped up like crazy and punched Zhao Lao.
"Come here, please..." Wei Yuanzhao paused, "Second Master, pull away."
The nurse from outside came in and pushed Wei Zhaotong away.
Father Zhao looked at him sadly as he struggled desperately, "Your grandma said that if you have a red birthmark on your wrist, you will be a blessed person in the future."
Mrs. Song couldn't sit still anymore and stood up suddenly.
She remembered that when she was about to faint from the pain, she did hear the words birthmark and blessed person. Her child had not yet been born at that time. When she woke up and saw the birthmark on Wei Zhaotong, she didn't think much about it and just thought that the daughter of the Zhao family also had a birthmark.
When Wei Zhaotong saw Song's actions, he forgot to struggle for a moment. In his impression, Song was always meek and elegant and never lost his composure.
"Madam." Mr. Wei Ge also stood up and supported Mrs. Song's swaying body.
"Little..." Mrs. Song held back her emotions and spoke, but she couldn't say it. If this was really her daughter, her daughter didn't even have a proper name. How could she be embarrassed?
"Do you have a birthmark on your body?"
Zhao Xiaoya looked at Mrs. Song and couldn't bear to see her face full of self-blame and guilt, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Nothing." Zhou Yitian's cold voice came over.He is her husband, he has seen every inch of her body, and there is no birthmark.
Mrs. Song clenched her hands into fists, rushed in front of Liu Caifeng, raised her hand and slapped her hard.
Liu Caifeng was in pain and looked surprised.
Song had never lost his temper in his life, but now he was eager to kill the person in front of him, and gave him another slap with his backhand.
"You're crazy!" Liu Caifeng shouted.
"I'm crazy!" Ms. Song shouted back, "You are so unconscionable that you replaced my daughter! Before I passed out, you gave birth to the baby before me. I heard your mother mention the birthmark and that the baby was a blessed person."
Liu Caifeng froze.
Mr. Wei Ge stepped forward to protect Mrs. Song and said, "Here comes someone! Tie up this poisonous husband and woman and send them to Dali Temple for justice."
Liu Caifeng struggled to escape, but several slaves came in and suppressed her, while Mr. Zhao resigned to their fate with a look of resignation.
Although the two of them deserved their punishment, Zhao Xiaoya's heart still ached when she saw that Mr. Zhao was dragged out because of his bad behavior.
Zhao Xue huddled next to the pillar, watching her parents being dragged out with reluctance and fear.
She never imagined that Zhao Xiaoya, whom she had always looked down upon, was actually the biological daughter of Mr. Wei Ge, who was cruelly replaced by her parents.
"Impossible—Father, mother!" Wei Zhaotong shouted: "I am your son, I am the one!"
Mr. Wei Ge closed his eyes. He had raised a child for more than ten years. It was a lie to say that he had no feelings. But when he thought that he had raised Wei Zhaotong, Wei Zhaotong's biological parents abused his child and did not even give him a proper name. He felt heartbroken even looking at Wei Zhaotong now.
"Take the second master back to the house." Elder Wei Ge said. He would deal with Wei Zhaotong, but not now.
Wei Zhaotong was unwilling to do so and was dragged out of the hall while yelling.
Mrs. Song walked up to Zhao Xiaoya and hugged her into her arms while crying.
Zhou Yitian's hand that was originally holding Zhao Xiaoya was empty, and his brows furrowed slightly, almost unnoticeably.
Zhao Xiaoya was quietly held by Mrs. Song, smelling the sweet fragrance coming from Mrs. Song's body, and hearing her cry heartbreakingly. This is her mother——
It turns out that this is what my mother smells like.
After all, they were blood relatives, so her eyes turned red involuntarily and she shed tears.
Elder Wei Ge was full of guilt and stared at his wife and daughter eagerly. He stepped forward and put his hands on both of them. In the end, he couldn't hold back and hugged both of them excitedly.
Zhou Yitian's expression became a little colder. When he saw Wei Yuanzhao coming forward with red eyes, he couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and blocked Wei Yuanzhao with one hand, and pulled Zhao Xiaoya back to him with the other hand, "There are still outsiders here."
Only then did everyone remember the two people who had followed Mr. Zhao.
Aunt Li was dumbfounded by the drama that had just been played in the hall. Now she came to her senses and hurriedly pulled Li Hu into the house.
"Sir." Aunt Li came to Beijing for the first time. She was scared when she saw Mr. Wei Ge, and pulled Li Hu to kneel down. "This is my son Li Hu. I brought him to find my daughter-in-law."
A trace of confusion flashed in Mr. Wei Ge's eyes.
Aunt Li remembered what the big man who brought her here had told her, and she hurriedly pulled out a crumpled piece of red paper from her lapel, "This is the marriage certificate between my son and Zhao Xue."
Zhao Xue's eyes widened, "You lied, we are not married at all, where did the marriage certificate come from?"
