Two Hundred and Seventieth Chapters My Mother-in-Law Is a Loyal Servant (20)
"Yes, it's the old slave!"
Before Grandma Zhao stepped into Jingzhao Mansion, she was still hesitating.
But when she sounded the drum of grievance and was brought into the lobby, her heart calmed down.
There is no way out, she can only move forward!
No longer struggling, Zhao mama became a little more calm.
She straightened her back, raised her head, and looked at the governor of Jingzhao with a burning gaze: "I don't know if the adults knew that our wife gave birth to a son for Lord Hou more than ten years ago."
The governor of Jingzhao Prefecture only served as an official for six years in Jingzhao Prefecture, but he had been wandering around several yamen in Beijing before.
Therefore, he also heard about some old things in Beijing.
After thinking for a while, Jingzhao's eyes lit up, "I've heard about this. It is said that Pingnan Hou once asked for the title of the prince for this child, but unfortunately——"
Before the sage issued the imperial decree, the young son of the Hou residence died prematurely.
At that time, there were still people in the DPRK who were suspicious: "Could it be that the Marquis of Pingnan didn't want to send his son to the capital to study, so he deliberately released such news."
And why Pingnan Hou is unwilling, everyone doesn't say it, but they all understand in their hearts.
The sage and the court wanted to rule the Marquis of Pingnan, and when they heard that Marquis Pingnan wanted to apply for the title for the eldest son, they deliberately brought the child to the capital.
It can't be said that it is a proton, but I just want to alert Ping Nanhou.
As a result, there was only someone in the DPRK who made such a suggestion. Before the sage's ruling, they received news from the southwest again - the child died!
This, this is too coincidental, people have to doubt.
However, subsequent facts proved that Marquis Pingnan did not lie, and the child was indeed dead.
So this matter is over.
The Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture would remember such trivial matters because he happened to be on duty at the Censor's Desk that year, and witnessed several Censors arguing over this matter.
"You stealing the young master of Hou's mansion has something to do with what happened back then?"
Jingzhao Fu Yin had a guess in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and asked in a deep voice.
"That's right,
It does matter! "
Zhao Mama answered quickly, and when she mentioned the past, her face showed a look of reminiscence.
"After the death of the child, our wife was devastated. Fortunately, God has mercy. In the new year, our wife is pregnant again!"
"Originally, this was a happy event, but our wife somehow thought of the eldest son who died, and she began to think wildly."
"I always have nightmares at night, either that my child had an accident, or that the child was taken away!"
Zhao mama is also shrewd, and did not say in court that Madam Zhang was afraid that she would be taken by the court to the capital as a hostage after her son was born.
However, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture knew what happened back then. Even if Mrs. Zhao said it vaguely, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture also understood Mrs. Zhang's worries.
Although I think Mrs. Zhang's Hou is a bit hypocritical, but she is a parent, and the governor of Jingzhao can understand it, and can infer certain things based on this.
He narrowed his eyes and covered the light in his eyes. He didn't interrupt, but continued to listen to Mama Zhao's story.
"The old slave is the nurse of the madam. If you are not afraid of arrogance, in the heart of the old servant, the madam is like my biological daughter."
"Seeing that Madam is worried and increasingly haggard because of some random thoughts, this old slave's heart hurts like a needle stick."
"The old slave can't bear the torment of his wife. It just so happens that the old slave's daughter-in-law is also pregnant, and the time of giving birth is not much different from that of the wife."
"The old slave gave birth to an idea: If Mrs. Hou gave birth to a daughter, she would not be afraid; but if she gave birth to a son, and my daughter-in-law happened to give birth to a daughter, I, I would replace the child!"
Mama Zhao spoke slowly.
The Yin of Jingzhao Mansion suddenly asked a question, "Does Madam Zhang know about this matter?"
In fact, what Jingzhao Fu Yin wanted to say was whether Mrs. Zhang was the mastermind behind the whole thing!
Again, the Hou Mansion is not an ordinary people's family.
Even if Mrs. Zhao is a decent servant, the birth of Mrs. Hou is definitely a major event for the entire Hou residence.
Not to mention that Mrs. Tai, Mrs. 2 and other masters will be guarding outside the delivery room, even in the delivery room, there are also a large group of maids and wives.
It's really difficult to drop a bag in such a public eye, without the owner's permission, and only an old slave!
Unless there is a master behind the planning arrangements.
"No! Our wife doesn't know about it!" Mama Zhao firmly denied it.
She took the initiative to "surrender herself" in order to get Mrs. Zhang out of the way. How could she be willing to make her suspect at all?
"All this is the old slave's own opinion!"
After Mama Zhao finished speaking, she bent down deeply, pressed her forehead against the bluestone floor tile, and slammed it hard, "Damn this old slave, this old slave is stupid, thought it was for the wife, but made a big mistake!"
"The old slave confuses the blood of the Hou Mansion, and also bullies the king, the old slave deserves to die!"
"Now the young master is growing up, but the wife is empty, the old slave, the old slave—"
"Today, the old slave turned himself in, and I hope that Lord Fu Yin can call the shots for our wife, so that our young master can recognize our ancestors and return to our ancestors!"
After saying this, Zhao mama kowtowed desperately again.
Bang! Bang bang!
His forehead hit the floor heavily, making a muffled sound that made a toothache.
After a while, her forehead was already bruised.
"...Let this official take care of it again!"
The Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture watched Mama Zhao's performance with cold eyes, but he deliberately made a look that was not quite acceptable on his face.
"In order to be loyal, you gave up your granddaughter to Mrs. Hou?"
Mama Zhao nodded vigorously, "Yes! It's all the fault of the old slave, and the sin of the old slave deserves death!"
"The son of the Hou Mansion is raised under the name of your son and daughter-in-law?" The Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture asked slowly.
"...That's right!" Mama Zhao had a bad premonition, and she hurriedly shouted: "Old slave knows that Lord Fu Yin is suspicious, and the matter of changing sons was deliberately done by the Hou residence!"
"However, this matter really has nothing to do with the Hou Ye and his wife, everything is the old slave's own opinion!"
"After the incident in the Hou Mansion, the old slave was also afraid that his actions back then were the crime of deceiving the king, but the old slave just wanted to help our wife keep her only son!"
"Fortunately, our Marquis was framed. Now the saint has presided over justice for our Marquis, and the Marquis is no longer guilty..."
Therefore, Feng Yanting is not the descendant of the offender, but the eldest son of the honorable Hou Fu!
"What a loyal servant!"
As for the words of Mama Zhao, the governor of Jingzhao did not believe a word!
Although he had no evidence, he just felt that Mrs. Zhang was definitely not innocent in the matter of changing sons.
"It's just that this case involves the Marquis of Pingnan, and this official can't take it lightly!"
The governor of Jingzhao Prefecture slapped the jingtang wood and issued an order to the officers, "Come here, invite Pingnan Hou, Mrs. Hou, Feng Zhongliang and his wife and others..."
