There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 690|The fifty-eighth dragon scale (3)
The fifty-eighth dragon scale (3)
The people sent by Mama Zeng to do things are very reliable and efficient. Two days later, the granddaughter who grew up in the country entered the palace. However, Linglong didn't plan to tell the second family immediately, so she was sent in quietly.
The little girl is only fifteen years old this year, and she is still a few months away from getting married. She is skinny and her eyes are getting bigger. She had probably never seen such an imposing house or such an imposing person. In the countryside, the biggest official she had ever met was Li Zheng, and the slap of her parents was what she was most afraid of.
As soon as I came in, I stood there shivering, I didn't dare to look at Linglong, and my hands were tightly twisted together. Seeing that Linglong had taken care of it before, clean and comfortable clothes could not hide her roughness and petiteness. Linglong saw that her hands were swollen like carrots, and naturally they could not be as tall as the burning dragons and braziers in the house. Compared with the family, Linglong's body is fifty years old, and the skin looks much better than this little girl.
Mother Zeng also felt distressed when she looked at it. She was supposed to be a girl who grew up in the imperial palace, but she had spent fifteen years of hardship in the countryside. The people who were sent to investigate found out. The family didn't treat her as their own daughter at all, they ordered her like a servant, and left her to do all the housework. In the winter, they had to go to the river to wash their clothes, which was a big basin. Because she didn't have the ability to make money, the woman let her do laundry to make money. Especially in winter, the wealthier people in the village didn't like to do laundry, and they earned more coins than before, so the little girl would squat in the river all day long. At the same time, he couldn't get enough to eat, and his padded jacket was broken, and the wind was blowing in, causing frostbite all over his body.
"What's your name?" Linglong asked.
The little girl didn't dare to answer. She was apprehensive and afraid, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
She had never seen such a nice house, nor had she ever seen such a graceful person, this old lady looked so majestic, even more frightening than Li Zheng. She felt that when her feet stepped on the ground, she had soiled other people's grounds.
She wondered if there was any odor on her body? She has not taken a bath for a long time. At first, although she was busy with work every day, she loved to be clean. Later, she did not dare to wash. She even hoped that she would be dirtier. I'll sell her because I can't get a good price.
Seeing that she didn't dare to answer, Aunt Zeng said softly: "Don't be afraid, this person in front of you is not someone else, but your own grandmother, the one who brought you back from the place that eats people. If you have any grievances, tell the old lady, the old lady will decide for you."
Before she came to see Linglong, Mammy Zeng had seen her. The little girl had traveled all the way to the capital, and she didn't know why she came here. Mammy Zeng had a special opinion on her, picked up the words and told her clearly , but the child was not so happy, instead, she trembled first. She was used to being scolded by her family as a scumbag. She had long regarded herself as a low-class person, and she never dreamed that she was actually being held by the wrong person.
How could this old lady... be her own grandmother?
Her grandmother...is an old woman who spit on the ground all day long and could fight with neighbors because of a green onion Her mother is young!
Seeing that the little girl still didn't speak, Mammy Zeng said softly, "Don't be afraid, girl, the days of the past will never be gone again. In the future, the good days of the girl will all come."
"Come to me." Linglong beckoned to her.
Mammy Zeng gently pushed the little girl, and she looked back at a loss, Mama Zeng nodded at her, and she moved cautiously to Linglong's side step by step, with a very slow pace, but Linglong There was no impatience at all—she was always patient when she smelled the sweetness of a beautiful soul.
The little girl walked in front of Linglong and did not dare to move, for fear of soiling the old lady's clothes, Linglong smiled at her: "Your name in the past is not good, grandmother will give you a new one, okay?"
In my memory, she didn't have a name until she was six or seven years old. Her name was Cuihua. Usually, everyone in her family was a mean girl. She was ignorant when she was young, and even thought that mean girl was her name.
For some reason, the little girl's eyes were sore, she nodded vigorously, "Yeah!"
"You see that this winter will pass sooner or later. When the snow melts and all the flowers bloom, the girls of our Xun family will be like the peach blossoms in spring, fresh and beautiful. In the future, you will be called Xun Tao." The girl's hand gave her the gift she had prepared. It was a pendant in the shape of a peach blossom, which was carved by Linglong herself.
She put the pendant on Xun Tao's neck: "In the future, you will be your grandmother's darling. Those who bullied you in the past will never be there again."
For the first time in Xun Tao's fifteen years of life, she had come into contact with such kindness. She only felt that her eyes were blurred by tears, and she couldn't see anything, except for the warm hands she held.
Mother Zeng saw it, and said quickly, "It's a big happy event for grandparents to recognize each other. The girl doesn't want to cry. If you continue to cry, the old lady will also cry with you."
When Xun Tao heard this, she sniffed desperately, for fear that she would make Linglong cry.
Linglong patted her head. Now is not the time for Xun Tao to appear in front of the world. It is true that she was replaced at birth. Black, thin and ugly, like a little gray mouse, speaking and doing things are more submissive, not Xun Fang's opponent at all. Still have to take a while.
However, you can first tell the second husband and his wife that they are not very demons.
Xun Zheng and his wife Gao were on their way to Linglong Courtyard, but they didn't know why their mother suddenly summoned them.
To tell the truth, in general, the eldest son and the youngest son are valued, and the one caught in the middle is the most easily overlooked, and the same is true for the government. The second master, Xun Zheng, lived up to his name, known for his uprightness, and became a civil servant in the court. One girl, both are very well educated. At the same time, Xun Zheng was the only one among the four brothers who did not have a concubine.
The husband and wife have the same temperament, they are quiet, they love to read, they don't fight, they don't fight, they have a weak personality, but they have a daughter who is competitive. Teaching is not good either, so I can only think of asking my mother to find a better husband for her in the future. Sister Fang's temperament is not suitable for marriage, so she has to find a son with a loyal temperament. In this way, Sister Fang will not be wronged when she gets married.
However, Xun Fang could not fully appreciate the good intentions of her parents. In her opinion, the parents who wanted to find a poor scholar for her were not biological, so she didn't take herself to heart. After all, she had to rely on herself to gain wealth!
The couple greeted Linglong, and Xun Zheng asked, "I wonder why my mother called us here?"
Linglong glanced at him: "Why, can't I ask you to come and talk to my old lady?"
Xun Zheng hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed: "The son doesn't mean that. If the mother is tired, the son is willing to recite the book for the mother."
Linglong: "...Forget it, I know you are filial."
Listening to this rigid voice, I'm afraid he won't be able to read the cadence without reading it to him.
Shi Gao chuckled: "Mother looks really good. I want to come to this Baiyun Temple. I really have some ability, or my mother has a good vision."
During the period, Xun Tao was in the cubicle, listening nervously and restlessly outside. Linglong arranged her here because she wanted her to know her parents first, with Mama Zeng by her side, and Xun Tao sitting obediently, looking forward to it, but also afraid of being hurt.
Linglong waved her hand to reject the second daughter-in-law's sugar|clothing|cannon|bomb, just to go to a fragrant, said good scholar and noble family, why are you flattering? Where does she show her good eyes? "The second one is right. I called you here today. It is indeed something to talk about. This matter is very important, and it is about the face of my Xun family. I would like to hear your opinions."
Xun Zheng and his wife immediately listened to each other.
"I heard someone say something yesterday, and I didn't have a decision in my heart, so I wanted to ask you both, you two read a lot, so come and give me your advice."
Linglong then told a story about the civet cat changing the prince, but without specifying who it was, only the rich and the poor. She speaks slowly, but she is well versed in speaking, and she tells a story to the climax | tide | repeated | In the end, Linglong asked, "What do you think the rich couple should do?"
Xun Zheng didn't even think about it: "Naturally, it is to set things right and get everything back on track!"
Gao also said: "The daughter-in-law also thinks like the master. Speaking of which, the daughter who was taken away is the real victim. She could have grown up in fine clothes and food, but now she can only be a village. Aunt, the daughter of a wicked person has enjoyed wealth and honor for more than ten years instead of her, how can there be such a reason! If her parents can't distinguish right from wrong, according to her daughter-in-law, she is not worthy of being a parent!"
Linglong said: "The poor daughter is innocent. Although her parents did evil, she herself did not make any mistakes. If she stayed..."
Xun Zheng immediately shook his head: "It's not right, it's not right. Although she is not wrong, the people who make mistakes are her parents after all, and she is right, and she has enjoyed the wealth for so many years in vain, and the rich gave her a sum of money. It’s enough to settle her down. If she is left as a daughter, what about the biological daughter of a rich family? This bowl of water should not be level!”
Linglong got a satisfactory answer, and happily raised the leading crutch and tapped Xun Zheng on the shoulder to encourage, "Very good, then I believe you must be able to do what you said."
Xun Zheng and Gao's faces were stunned:? ? ?
After a while, it was the woman who was more delicate, Gao Shi was the first to react, with a pale face: "Mother means..."
"Yes, sister Fang is the girl from the poor family, and you are the rich couple." Linglong was very proud after saying that, "How about it, isn't my reasoning right?"
Xun Zheng couldn't believe it: "This, how is this possible..."
Linglong said: "Since I dare to say this, naturally I have 100% evidence, this time I'm just giving you a reminder to prepare you mentally. I'm not going to take this matter lightly. It's over."
"Mother means..."
"Since you dare to steal the girl from our country's government, and you are replaced by foreign blood, and you treat the girl of our country's government harshly, and even sell her, you say, should this account be counted?"
Xun Zheng and Gao naturally have no objection, but both husband and wife can't believe that Sister Fang is really not their own, especially the two of them don't know how much energy they have spent trying to fix Sister Fang's temper. On the surface, the child always responds well, but in private, it is still the same. Gao has repeatedly felt ashamed. There are three girls in this family, but she is the only one who has not taught her daughter well.
Now that she suddenly learned that it was not her own daughter, in addition to being unbelievable, Gao found that she actually had a feeling that she really did.
She always thought, the master has a clean personality, and he has a strict family education, why does the daughter he raised is so utilitarian? Now, I finally know why.
Then again, if Sister Fang is not their biological child, then...
Suddenly there was light and heat in Mrs Gao's eyes: "Mother! My biological daughter, my daughter and the master's daughter, where is she now? Is she, how is she doing? How is she now?!"
If Xun Tao appeared in front of the world, it would naturally be bright and beautiful, but there is no need for her to face her biological parents. The second child and his wife have upright minds. The more miserable Xun Tao is, the more guilty they will feel, and the more Sending love to make up for her, she will see Xun Fang more and more clearly, so Linglong called out to Mother Zeng.
Gao didn't believe that there was such a thing as a mother and daughter in the world, but when she saw Xun Tao, the timid, thin girl with almond eyes, her tears burst and her heart surged. Feeling infinitely moved, mixed with joy and sorrow, he went up and hugged Xun Tao, crying while calling my son.
The first time Xun Tao asked someone to hug her like this, this beautiful lady wet her neck with tears, but she was not afraid at all, and even strangely her eyes became sore.
Seeing the mother and daughter hug each other and cry, Xun Zheng's eyes were red, and when Linglong saw this, he asked him, "Aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?"
Xun Zheng shook his head: "I believe whatever my mother says. In fact, over the years, my wife and I have not been without such thoughts. Sister Fang has a vain temperament and is very ambitious. Before that, I always thought that we were parents. Teach it well, and now I understand that her roots are broken."
Linglong nodded: "That's good, I have all the witnesses and physical evidences. When the time comes, Sister Tao will be taken care of. Let's take this lawsuit slowly."
"By the way, mother, that family..."
"Don't worry." Linglong tapped her cane, "I'm in control."
My mother was also able to go on a horse and conquer the world back then. She was a woman who was highly praised by the late emperors. Xun Zheng trusted her very much.
The husband and wife saw that their daughter was thin and black, her hands and ears were covered with frostbite, her skin was chapped, and they were distressed to death.
Unfortunately, the big devil holding a dragon-headed cane in the main seat disagrees.
Although Xun Zheng and the Gao family decided to recognize their daughter, they never thought about leaving Xun Fang alone. According to their previous thoughts, the child had been raised for fifteen years, no matter what Xun Fang's parents did, their relationship with Xun Fang was not fake. It's just that there is no way to treat her as a daughter anymore, so the two of them wanted to give her a sum of money, settle her well, and then cut off the relationship and no longer communicate, but listen to the meaning of the mother's words... Is this sister Fang...
Linglong ruthlessly shattered their fantasies, that's right, just as they thought, Sister Fang knew for a long time that she was not her own, and that she had a life on her hands.
When Mr. Gao heard this, he fainted.
When she woke up, she burst into tears, and she managed to calm down. In the end, she turned back step by step with red eyes. She felt sorry for her daughter, and when she returned to the yard, she immediately rummaged through the boxes and tossed the cabinets, and then sent someone to the best hospital in Beijing to buy it. Yao, her daughter shouldn't look like that, and Sister Tao should also be a delicate girl from the imperial palace!
She was angry, and when she saw Xun Fang, she would inevitably look unnatural. Fortunately, Xun Fang was also worried that the people sent to silence her had not returned, so she did not notice the strangeness of her mother.
In this way, half a month passed by, and Xun Fang became more and more restless. The people she sent still didn't trust them, and they didn't know how they were doing. Or maybe they ran into trouble on the road. You won't give yourself away, will you?
For some reason, her eyelids have been twitching wildly these days, and she always feels like something bad is about to happen.
On the second day, my grandmother said that she would go out with her family. Xun Fang sat in the carriage, her eyelids jumping faster and faster, the carriage stopped, and as soon as she lifted the curtain, she saw the huge "Jingzhao Mansion" "The plaque, I was startled at the time, why did I come to Jingzhao Mansion? !
Uneasy, Xun Fang couldn't turn around and run away. She seemed guilty. She forced herself to calm down and followed in, and saw the tall and strong hunters standing in two rows, holding fire and water ruthless sticks in their hands. The solemn and neatly dressed Lord Jing Zhaoyin slapped the hallucinating wood, and the arresters shouted loudly, scaring the pampered Xun Fang to the point of softening his legs!
She has life in her hands, so she is naturally afraid of the court. Seeing her grandmother come forward and be seated by Jing Zhaoyin, but her parents don't care about her, Xun Fang is anxious and calls out, "Father! Mother! "
Jing Zhao Yin is another gavel!
Soon, the arresters brought a few prisoners. These people were unknown to others, but Xun Fang knew them very well! It was the few desperadoes she sent out to silence them!
But she would never admit it, crying: "Grandmother, father, mother! I'm afraid, why are we here? Who are these people? Don't scare me..."
Linglong looked at her sullenly here mercilessly, and the corner of her mouth tickled: "You will soon know why."
Next, Jing Zhaoyin ordered someone to bring the accused.
This time, a middle-aged couple in shabby clothes were brought in. The man looked at him honestly, but the woman had a mean face. Just looking at this face made Xun Fang despair! Without him, this woman was born exactly like her! The round face and single eyelid, especially the demeanor when speaking, are believed to be mothers and daughters!
"Who's on my knees!"
The husband and wife quickly reported their names, and Jing Zhaoyin asked again: "The old lady of the Guogongfu sued you for stealing the girl of the Guogongfu, confusing the blood of the Xun family, and abusing the girl of the Guogongfu and taking her Sell it, it's true!"
The two quickly kowtowed: "It's true! It's true! The villain pleads guilty! The villain pleads guilty!"
"Look to the left, this woman is the daughter of the two of you? If so, do you have a certificate?!"
"Yes! Sir, yes!" The woman nodded hurriedly. "In those days, the villain was fascinated and exchanged his daughter with the daughter of the second lady of the government's government. In order to recognize her in the future, he took a closer look at her body. There are two red moles on her inner thigh and two red moles on her back!"
As soon as Xun Fang heard this, she immediately covered the front of her clothes. Jing Zhaoyin ordered her to go down and let the female doctor examine her. She desperately refused, and shouted at Xun Zheng and his wife, "Father! Mother! Do you really want to listen to these two? If Xia is a scumbag, don't you recognize me as a daughter! I am your biological daughter!"
Xun's face is indifferent: "Since it is, why don't you dare to verify it?"
Xun Fang clenched her teeth hard, and finally got someone to pull her down. After a while, she was brought out by the female doctor, and she really had the red mole on her body that the woman said.
The couple even killed Xun Fang, their biological daughter. Except for the red mole, the mother and daughter were carved out of the same mold. No one would believe it if it wasn't her own! Xun Fang saw that these two were about to pull herself into the abyss, and she hated it to the extreme: "Two **** lowly people! I won't recognize you, and I won't recognize you even if I die!"
She really didn't understand why the two killed themselves, their biological daughter. Wouldn't it be better for her to stay in the government's mansion to enjoy wealth and honor than in the countryside? If they wanted benefits, how could they dare to bite her? !
Not to mention admitting that they have mixed up the blood of the imperial government, what can the couple get? They don't even want their own lives? !
Xun Fang couldn't understand it, but she quickly understood why.
Because then, Jing Zhaoyin summoned the inn's second and several guests. Each witness identified the guest who died violently in the inn that day, plus the revolt of the person who was bribed by Xun Fang to kill him. As well as the money exchanged by Xun Fang's personal maid who was found out, and the medicine that Xun Fang obtained when he poisoned his brother... I checked everything one by one. Fang can't help but want to rely on it!
It wasn't until now that she understood why Xunzheng Gao's face was so indifferent. They must have known it for a long time, deliberately watching her jokes!
No way!
She can't just confess, she can't die like this, she hasn't become a high-ranking person, she's only fifteen years old, she hasn't passed the ceremony, she can't die like this!
The couple over there cried bitterly. If they weren't greedy at the time, they swapped their daughter with a girl from the government, and abused their daughter for many years, their son wouldn't have been killed by their own daughter, so it's all retribution, It's retribution!
What is a daughter who is not raised by her side compared to her own son?
