The blood drops quickly merged together.
The steward wiped the blood from the dagger on the sole of his shoe, then put the dagger into its sheath and saluted the old lady.
"Old madam, these two are indeed mother and daughter."
He turned around and looked at Ms. Zou: "Mr. Zou, how dare you deceive Mrs. Hou. I think you are impatient!"
Zou was so frightened that she cried loudly, while Ye Qingqing stood aside and wiped her tears anxiously.
She hit her mother again and again and cried: "It's all your fault, it's all your fault. You insist on coveting the wealth of the Marquis Mansion. What should I do now? What should I do?"
Zou seemed to wake up from a dream.
She looked at her daughter, stood up, and took a few steps towards the old woman's knees:
"Please tell the old lady, Qingqing doesn't know anything. It's all my idea, my idea. If the old lady wants to punish me, then punish me! Please let Qingqing go."
"she does not know?
Does she not know that she is your daughter, or does she not know that she is not the daughter of the Marquis?
When did the threshold of our Hou Mansion become so low? Such a low-class person dares to pretend to be a young lady from the Hou Mansion! "
Having said this, the old lady looked at the housekeeper again.
His heart skipped a beat when he saw it.
"Su Zhong, I leave this matter to you. I don't want to see them again, nor do I want to hear one more word from them."
After saying that, the old lady turned and entered the Xiao family yard.
The others followed and walked in.
Only then did the villagers who heard the news and came to watch the excitement breathed a sigh of relief.
"It must be Mrs. Houfu, she does things so neatly and neatly!"
"When she spoke just now, I didn't even dare to express her anger."
"Yes, I even grabbed a handful of melon seeds, but I didn't dare to eat any of them!"
The sweet-scented osmanthus lady said, "click" and took the first melon seed of the day.
"After all, he is someone who has experienced a big scene! It's different, it's really different!"
The women tutted in praise.
Ms. Zou still wanted to beg for mercy and shouted loudly into the yard: "Old madam, please... wuwuwuwu!"
Her mouth was immediately blocked with a rag.
Ye Qingqing was not spared either. Her originally pale face was now as white as paper, and she looked like she might lose her breath at any moment and lose her life.
Su Zhong was in a bad mood because this matter was done very ugly.
On the one hand, it was because he was eager for quick success, and on the other hand, it was also because Zou deliberately concealed it.
So Su Zhong poured out all his anger on Zou.
"It's only now that I think of begging for mercy. It's too late!"
He sneered, turned around and ordered the boy: "Throw them two into the carriage."
"yes!"
The two boys threw Zou and Ye Qingqing into the carriage one by one.
Zhou struggled hard and before getting into the car, the cloth in her mouth fell out.
She looked at Su Zhong and begged in a low voice: "Please spare our lives, Mr. Butler. Anyway, my man is also Ye Luoxin's uncle. I hope you will spare our lives out of this kindness!"
The housekeeper gave her a cold look: "Spare your lives? You also know that you are the relative of the young lady, but you still want to pretend to be someone else! What a shame!"
Seeing that praying was in vain, Ms. Zou immediately said: "Sir, my man still has some silver in his hand. If you can let us go, my man will be very grateful!"
"A man in your family?" The butler rolled his eyes: "Is there a man in your family? Why didn't he show up this time?"
After saying that, without waiting for Zou's reply, he signaled the servant to gag Zou's mouth again, then jumped on the carriage, and the group of people galloped away towards Xiaodang Village.
…
Xiao family.
After returning to the yard, Ye Luoxin finally understood the twists and turns without anyone else's explanation.
These days, she has been denying that she is the granddaughter of the old lady, so that they have never properly checked the information.
It's not entirely her fault.
I don't know why, but in Ye Luoxin's mind, the memory of this part is missing. She never remembers that her mother is a young lady from the Hou family.
So she didn't even remember that the original owner had been to the capital when she was young, let alone that she had such a magnificent grandmother.
The old lady was very proud.
Although I am old, I have not recognized the wrong person after all.
The little girl in front of me is the granddaughter that I miss so much.
"Quickly, call grandma and let me listen." The old lady's eyes were so intense that Ye Luoxin felt embarrassed.
"Scream!"
"Scream, don't be embarrassed."
Xu Zhengxiang and Yang Feng also advised.
"Mistress!" Ye Luoxin finally called out softly.
"Eh!"
The old lady responded quickly, smiling from ear to ear.
"You kid, when I asked you where your home is, why didn't you say Xiaodang Village! If I knew you were from Xiaodang Village, I promise not to let those two naked idiots come here today!"
Xu Zhengxiang helped Ye Luoxin and said:
"Old madam, don't blame this child. Luo Xin was sold by that couple back then.
We used 50 taels of silver to buy out her relationship with that family.
Since arriving at our home, this child has regarded this place as his own home and does not want to recognize them anymore! "
"What? Those heartless people dared to sell my granddaughter?
50 taels? My granddaughter is worth 50 taels of silver? "
The old lady felt extremely distressed and quickly motioned to Chunhua to bring her token.
"This is a token of my savings at Yongfeng Bank, totaling 50,000 taels.
If you don’t have enough money to spend, just take this to the bank and exchange it for as much money as you want! "
"Grandma, this gift is too expensive, and besides, I have enough money," Ye Luoxin refused.
"Take it!" the old lady said firmly.
"This little money is nothing! There are tokens from Yongle Bank, Hengtong Bank and Hengbao Bank in the Hou Mansion.
I didn't know you were still alive at that time, so I just saved a little.
If I had known this, I should have saved more! "
The old lady said with red eyes.
At this time, Ye Luoxin couldn't refuse anymore and silently accepted the token.
Seeing that she had collected her things, the old lady became happy.
"But, it's not too late now. I'm still strong. I can still get you whatever you want!"
Now that she has acknowledged her marriage, Ye Luoxin also has a position to speak.
When the old lady asked, she quickly said: "I'll put other things aside for the time being, but I heard from Chunhua that the medicine you brought here this time is almost finished. Shouldn't you go back?"
"I won't go back!" The old lady turned around angrily, "I won't leave until you go back with me!"
"Grandma, the autumn harvest is coming soon in the village. What's more, there are still many things that I need to do in the shop, and I really can't leave."
