The night is dark with few stars.
Mr. He was locked up in a corner woodshed.
In this quiet place, her mind was clear enough, and she slowly figured out what was going on.
Aunt Yu and Aunt Tao must have jointly plotted against her. The cursed dolls must have been made by Aunt Tao. The master must have been hired by Aunt Yu with money. Madam must have known about these two people's plans and deliberately added fuel to the flames...
When the adults return home, they will definitely give her a clean slate.
While she was thinking about it, she heard the door lock ring, and in the moonlight outside, she saw two people walking in.
One is An Geer and the other is Sister Ping.
There was joy in her eyes.
After returning to Xie's house, the children rarely came to see her in order to avoid suspicion.
Every time something happened to her before, the children had never come to see her. To be honest, as a mother, she felt a little disappointed inside.
But now, seeing the two siblings appear in the woodshed, the slight loss in my heart disappeared in an instant.
She knew that in the eyes of the children, no one could replace her as their biological mother.
"Why are you two here?"
He stood up and went to greet him.
Xie Ping stood behind Xie Shi'an, clenching the handkerchief tightly, not knowing what to say.
Xie Shi'an said: "Both the old lady and mother know about your matter."
He's body shook: "Brother An, I didn't hear what you said clearly. Say it again."
"Your grandfather was He Tao, the Minister of Household Affairs more than 20 years ago. You are a descendant of the He family. The three children you gave birth to are all descendants of guilty ministers." Xie Shi'an's voice was extremely hoarse. "Although the imperial court We have not killed all the He family, but we will never allow the descendants of the guilty minister to pursue an official career, nor will we allow the eldest sister to marry into the royal family... Because of your status, we are destined to have no future."
He's heart seemed to be pinched by someone, and his breathing became a little difficult: "How, how could someone know?"
She hid it so well, changed her surname, and stayed away from her tribe's place of residence. Who found out her identity?
She also knew that it was impossible for a descendant of the He family to become an official in the court, let alone marry a prince, so she did not dare to be the mother of her children at all.
She had endured it for so many years and gave up her three children to others to raise. Why did she still fall short?
Her knees weakened and she leaned against the wall.
Xie Shi'an walked over, held her arm, and helped her sit on the straw mat on the floor of the woodshed: "The embroidery you sold has been seen by someone who is interested. They are checking Xie's house and checking yours." identity."
He's lips trembled.
Some time ago, all her body was taken away by that bitch Aunt Tao, and all the money she had in the bank was lost by that bastard brother. She was penniless and couldn't move around in the Xie Mansion. There was really no other way, so she Take out the embroidered handkerchief screen and exchange it for money...
Why, more than twenty years later, can anyone still recognize the He family’s acupuncture techniques?
"mother."
Xie Shian suddenly shouted.
This mother's voice brought He's memory back to many years ago. At that time, she was Xie Jingyu's aunt and had three children raised by her side.
Sister Ping is sensible, Brother An is smart, but Brother Wei is naughty. They are all her children, and they call her mother every day.
After the children recognized their ancestors and returned to their clan, apart from the occasional Wei brother calling her mother, they never heard this from An Ge'er and Sister Ping again.
He's eyelashes fluttered and tears flowed down uncontrollably.
She didn't know why, but a strong uneasiness suddenly appeared in her heart. The sound of "mother" brought that uneasiness to its peak.
She reached out and touched Xie Shian's face: "Brother An, don't call me mother anymore. My status will only delay your future... Let your father send me away, I can't hurt you. several……"
"Is it okay if you leave? The old lady said, said..." Xie Ping bit her lower lip and paused for a long time before saying, "If you really think about us, you should... you should..."
She couldn't say the next few words, as her throat seemed to be blocked by something.
Xie Shi'an suddenly thought of the story his mother told him two months ago.
It is said that there was a peasant woman who raised three children. Although the three children were not her biological children, the peasant woman still worked hard to raise the children.
But one day, the peasant woman was involved in a rebellion, and the three children killed the peasant woman, their adoptive mother, for the sake of the family.
At that time, his mother asked him whether these three children were right or wrong...
How did he answer?
He doesn't remember.
Now, it's his turn to make a choice.
He couldn't believe that he made the choice that was best for him without any hesitation.
For the first time, he knew that he was such a selfish and cold-blooded monster.
He took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve: "This is what my father gave you. Drink it and you will slowly fall asleep within a quarter of an hour and die without pain..."
He's pupils narrowed sharply.
She finally understood what the uneasiness in her heart was. It was the child she had given birth to in ten months of pregnancy, and she wanted to feed her poison.
Even if it were another person, an old lady, she would accept it.
Why, An Geer and Sister Ping?
"No!!"
He couldn't help but let out a scream.
"Mother." Xie Shi'an was very calm, "Hundreds of people from the He family died in that case more than 20 years ago. The He family, a century-old family, just disappeared. Now when the He family is mentioned, how many people in the capital still remember it? The suicide note left by my grandfather before his death clearly stated that he hoped that the descendants of the He family would be able to overturn the case and restore the He family. It is because of this belief that I became the leader of the case at the age of twelve. …”
Mr. He burst into tears.
When something happened to the He family, she was already old enough to remember. She was the youngest daughter of the He family, and her grandfather loved her very much.
She knew her grandfather's last wish, but she thought she was incapable of fulfilling it. As for He Xu, that loser, it was even less possible to restore the He family.
All hope lies in An Geer...
If An Ge'er's identity as a descendant of the He family is exposed, then An Ge'er will not be able to enter the Imperial Academy, take part in the imperial examination, and it will be impossible for him to pursue an official career...
He's cry came from the woodshed.
Yun Chu stood at the foot of the steps and heard clearly the words of the mother and son.
She thought of her previous life, where she was persuaded by Xie Shi'an to drink poisonous wine and die for the Xie family at night like this.
At that time, nothing was known about the Yun family. How could she die? So, several children came over, held her down, and poured the poison into her throat...
What she drank was poisonous wine, and the poison entered her intestines, causing pain to her limbs, bones, and internal organs.
The poison He drank caused no pain, and he died silently, which was considered a blessing.
He doesn't feel lucky.
Being forced to die by his own son and daughter, how many sins did he commit to deserve such heartbreaking pain?
Seeing that Mr. He didn't move, Xie Ping stepped forward, picked up the porcelain bottle, opened the lid, and a fragrant fragrance came out. Her voice trembled: "Do you want us to force you to drink it?"
