Liu happened to wake up at this time.
Seeing the child in Mrs. Yang's arms, Ms. Liu's heart tightened at first, but the words of others gave her a hint.
"Sister Lan, are you confused again? That's my brother Ping."
Ling Chu sneered, "Is this your son? Do you think that others are fools and can be fooled by you? If it were your child, would you lock him in a cellar with chains and torture him?"
Mrs. Liu glared at Ling Chu bitterly, it was this Taoist nun who ruined her good deeds.
"What kind of abuse? I just saw that he was too naughty, so I put him in the cellar, thinking of scaring him. Besides, it is my own business to teach my own son, it is not your turn. Outsiders come in.”
"The child is so skinny that he's almost dying, and you still say it's not abuse?"
"My child has been weak since he was a child. He has always looked like this, but I didn't starve him into this."
Mrs. Yang was so angry that she trembled when she heard Mrs. Liu's sophistry. If she hadn't been holding the child in her arms, she would have wanted to rush over and strangle this ungrateful woman to death.
When Ling Chu saw that Xia Zhi had invited a doctor over, he signaled to Mrs. Yang to take the child to the doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and then settle the score with Liu later.
The doctor invited by Xia Zhi was Dr. Luo from Renchundang. When he saw that the child was starving and emaciated, and his feet were chained, he felt sympathy in his heart.
After carefully checking his pulse, he checked again and found that the child was mainly suffering from long-term fright, was unstable, and was malnourished. In addition, there were many bruises and bruises on his body, which looked like he had been pinched by someone.
Doctor Luo couldn't help but shake his head. He was so vicious that he could do something to such a young child.
When Mrs. Yang saw the pinch marks on the child, she was so distressed that she wiped tears from her eyes.
After the doctor prescribed the medicine and gave instructions for nursing care, Mrs. Yang left the child to Xia Zhi to take care of, and walked towards Mrs. Liu who was tied under the big tree with a sullen face.
Mrs. Liu just saw that everyone's attention was on the child, and she originally wanted to break free of the rope secretly, but unfortunately the more she struggled, the tighter the rope became.
Mrs. Yang stood in front of her, staring at her, as if she were looking at a stranger she had never met before.
"Why did you kidnap my brother An? He is only three years old. How could you do this to him?"
Although Mrs. Liu described it as embarrassed at this time, she put on a pitiful expression, "Sister Lan, you must be confused. I didn't want to irritate you at first, but now that things have come to this, I can only speak frankly.
Sister Lan, that child is not Yang Jinan, that is my child Li Changping. Your brother An was lost during the Lantern Festival and was burned to death in the fire. Have you forgotten that your mother-in-law and husband have buried him in the ancestral grave of the Yang family, your son is already dead..."
Liu's expression was calm, without any trace of panic. She knew that An Yilan couldn't stand stimulation since her child's accident. Whenever someone mentioned that her child was dead, she would go crazy.
As long as she starts crying and shouting like crazy again, these people will not doubt her words.
However, she waited and waited, but Mrs. Yang just stared at her with an indifferent expression and did not start to go crazy as she expected.
Seeing that she was starting to panic, Yang twitched the corner of her mouth mockingly.
"Do you think I'm really crazy and don't even recognize my son? There are three black spots side by side on my son's right foot. They are birthmarks from birth. The woman who delivered me can testify."
Some people who couldn't help but be curious ran to Xia Zhi, and sure enough they saw three black spots on the sole of the child's right foot.
"Now that things have happened, I might as well tell you. Everyone thought that An Ge'er was burned to death in the fire. I couldn't bear the blow and went crazy. But that was just a disguise. I am a powerless woman. , searching for his son day and night, and had to pretend to be a crazy woman for safety."
"Liu Qianling, I have treated you well since I was a child. When you were a child, because your family was poor, you sometimes didn't even have enough to eat. I took you to my house every three days to provide you with food and shelter.
I will give you all the clothes and jewelry that you like.
Your parents want to sell you to a wealthy family as a maid. I can't bear to see you suffer, so I gave your parents a hundred taels to tell them not to sell you. When your parents are sick, all the money you need to pay for medical treatment is given to you by me. After your parents left, your brother and sister-in-law wanted to marry you to a widower in his sixties. You didn't want to, so it was my mother and I who came forward to reject the marriage for you.
You can marry Li Houmu because my mother introduced you to the marriage. After your husband died of a sudden illness, he brought his children to me. I gave my dowry yard to you and your mother and son to live in. You cried and complained to me that all your property had been taken away by your husband’s clan members. I was worried that you and your children would starve, so you gave me You have five hundred taels of silver.
I ask myself that I have treated you with all my kindness and righteousness, but what about you, how did you treat me?
You clearly know that An Ge'er is my lifeblood, why did you resort to any means to abduct him? It would be fine if you treated him well, but you are so cruel and cruel to a three-year-old child.
Liu Qianling, where is your conscience, has it been eaten by dogs? "
Listening to Mrs. Yang's questions, Ms. Liu's expression was filled with resentment.
"An Yilan, don't be so pretentious here. You said you have treated me like your own sister since I was a child. Do you mean that you love me? Bah."
"The clothes, jewelry, and silver you gave me were just pretentious charity in order to gain fame. Your family is so rich, and those things are not even a drop in the bucket. If you really love me as your sister, why don't you let me know you Are your parents considered your parents?"
"My parents are sick. What's the use of the one or two hundred taels of silver you gave me? If you really care about me, why don't you invite famous doctors to treat them?"
"Although my brother and sister-in-law are not good people, why did you and your mother ever treat me sincerely? Your parents are very selective about your marriage. Your husband Yang Kengqiang is not only a talented man, but also the head of Honglu Temple. As an official I have a body, and my home also has Wu Fang Zhai, a famous confectionery shop in Kyoto.
You don't have to do anything. Once you marry, you will be the wife of an official family and enjoy endless glory and wealth. "
"But as for me, your mother said that the people she picked for me were also carefully selected. But Li Houmu is just a merchant in a small county town, with only a small grocery store. He has no parents or brothers at home, and he is a Short-lived ghost.
I had only been married for four years when he died. I became a helpless widow, and everyone scolded me for being stubborn and for killing my parents and husband.
If you are really good to me, why would you choose such a bad marriage for me and ruin me for life? I brought my children to seek refuge with you, but you just threw me such a shabby little yard, while you yourself lived a life of calling slaves and maids in the Yang family.
You said you love and care for me as your own sister, bah, you are treating me like a beggar. "
