Qing Song replied loudly and ran to work quickly, his face full of joy.
The onlookers talked loudly, and the wise one had realized that it was the young lady of the Qin family who had done a dirty thing and was held by Tao Rui. The rumors this time, the Eight Achievement was a two-sided battle, but Tao Rui was still slightly better and caught Miss Qin's little moves.
In any case, Yue'er belonged to the Qin family. To say that without the master's instruction, she was too bold to steal a hundred taels of silver to do such a big thing. Besides, is one hundred taels so easy to steal? I think Qin Ruo is behind the scenes!
The little bastard who has something good yelled: "Sir, what ugly thing did Miss Qin do? Tell everyone about it!"
The mother of the Qin family looked terribly ugly, and she hurriedly changed the subject in a loud voice, "Shizi, I hope you can forgive Yue'er, she is also confused for a while. To say something that shouldn't be said, this Tao family's old man and girl, looks like It is indeed similar to you and Mrs. Guo Gong, she... also misunderstood, thinking you are really wrong."
She seemed to be pleading for Yue'er, but in fact she brought the topic to the wrong thing, and wanted to divert everyone's attention.
However, the topic turned to Tao Rui's intention. Tao Rui walked to Xiu Niang along the way and asked, "Is this lady really born with my mother?"
Xiu Niang was a little nervous. When she met Tao Rui's gaze, she found that she was gentle, not alienated or disgusted. Then she nodded her mind and said, "Yes, there was a thunder and rain that day, and we couldn't make our way. We were all trapped in the ruined temple. It was Mrs. Xuanguo's mother who helped me deliver the baby."
"Then you remember that you gave birth to a boy and a girl?"
Xiu Niang shook her head, "I had a fetal breath, and the child fainted all my life."
She looked at Tao Rui hesitantly, and Tao Rui raised her eyebrows to encourage him, "But what did you think of? If there is anything, it doesn't matter. I go to court today to ask for the truth. I don't love that trickery."
Xiu Niang knew that Tao Rui really asked her to say it, and immediately cooperated: "I remember I took a look at the child, there should be a birthmark on the left shoulder of the child, but when I returned home I found out that the child did not have it. I just treated it as a mistake. At that time, I was dazed and fainted, not sober."
Tao Rui frowned in a dazed look. The steward of the Guogong Mansion just mentioned it and looked at the faces of Tao Rui and Tao Wangcai, as well as the faces of Fuxi that looked like his wife, so he hurriedly sent someone to tell the old lady.
Mother Qin also hurriedly left. Looking at the Qin family, she had to talk to her wife quickly and prepare to deal with the rumors. This is too bad, I really don't know what the young lady is going crazy, which has ruined the reputation of the entire Qin family!
Everyone in the hall watched Tao Rui's reaction. Master Wu yelled badly and asked aloud, "Is there a birthmark on the left shoulder of the son?"
Tao Rui nodded and sat back in silence, as if unable to understand the current situation. That's right, he just believed that his subordinates could not hold the wrong boy and girl, but now he matched the birthmark, and he should be confused.
Everyone outside the door was stunned, there was a lot of discussion, a little surprised, wouldn't it be true that they were wrong? How to explain the misunderstanding of men and women?
Tao Li received the letter in the teahouse and was so annoyed that she dropped a teacup. Seeing Tao Ruizha's rumor found Qin Ruo, she had given up on telling the truth. Anyway, everyone would scold the Qin family for closing the case. Tao Rui was still an upright son, and the fire couldn't burn her.
As long as the turmoil passes after two or three years and Tao Rui dies of illness, he will naturally fall to Tao Bin, and he will not be extraordinarily safe.
How did you know that the birthmark in Xiuniang's mouth actually matched Tao Rui!
This was something she didn't know before, but now so many people are watching at the yamen, and no one believes it anymore. She just hates Tao Rui who brought the matter to court.
But you can't let the gaffe develop like this, and you can't let people say that she changes children. Tao Li settled down, and immediately ordered Xia Rui to run to the court to speak, and first file a complaint.
When Xia Rui went to the court, she said loudly: "Master Wu, my wife already knows what happened here, and the wife is going to sue Tao Jin and his wife for secretly changing the blood of Xuanguo Palace!"
Tao Jin and Xiuniang were shocked immediately, and Xiuniang shouted: "She's just going back and forth, and I'm going to sue her to exchange my son."
Xia Rui didn't look at her, and said to herself: "Adult Rongzhen, Xiu Niang gave birth half an hour earlier than my wife. She gave birth to a boy and borrowed a cloth towel to wrap the baby. Later, the wife was too busy to give birth, so she helped deliver the baby. , Madam and Mother only regarded her as a peasant woman, strong body and kind-hearted wanting to help, but she took the opportunity to exchange children secretly.
At that time, the maid was holding a curtain around, and only she and the mother delivered the baby. She said that the wife gave birth to a male baby. She must have deceived the mother's eyes at the time. She delivered the child first and wrapped the child, and then quickly changed it!
Mrs. Wu, the wife was in danger of premature delivery. When the incident happened suddenly, everyone panicked and didn't defend the embroidered mother. This allowed her to secretly change the blood of the Xuanguo Palace. Please let her be severely punished! "
Xiu Niang was shocked and angry, "You are talking nonsense! I was about a mile away from your wife, and almost had a difficult childbirth. After giving birth, she fainted. It was your mother who was delivering the baby. You wronged me!" She looked at Tao Rui anxiously. Looking at Master Wu, "I didn't lie, she was lying!"
Xia Rui said stiffly: "My wife doesn't lack sons, why did you take your son away and set him up as the world's son? It's you, seeing the wealth of the government and wanting your son to be full of glory and wealth, right? Poor my lady was replaced by you. Walking and suffering."
Fuxi immediately held on to Xiu Niang, "Don't talk nonsense! I didn't suffer, my parents love me very much!"
But this statement can not dispel the suspicion of Xiu Niang, because Tao Li does not lack sons, how could she give others the son to be the son of others? It seems that it is indeed more like the exchange of the Tao family's husband and wife. This farmer seized the opportunity to make his son rich and reasonable.
Xia Rui and the housekeeper were relieved when they saw everyone's reaction.
But Xiu Niang was anxious, she pulled Fuxi, looked at Tao Rui, and kept explaining to them, "She lied! There are so many people around her, I have only one person, even if I'm not dizzy, I can't change a child. Ah, I'm not that kind of person, you believe me..."
"I believe!"
"I believe!"
Tao Rui and Fuxi spoke at the same time. No one finds it strange that Fuxi said that, but Tao Rui's sonorous and powerful words made everyone confused.
Tao Rui sat there, let out a sigh of relief, as if he had figured out something, his face was relieved.
He said slowly: "No wonder my mother loves my brother and doesn't love me these years. I thought I was not smart enough, so I endorsed more than my brother and wanted to please my mother. But my mother reprimanded me and scolded me for not being modest and making my brother sad.
I was very worried when I saw my younger brother fell and my mother was very worried, so I jumped and played around. I was injured and wanted mother to care about me. But my mother was very annoyed. Not only did she not hire me a doctor, she also fined me to kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole day. eat.
I thought it was my younger brother. I was always inferior to him. Who knows that Tao Bin did something that humiliated his ancestors, but my mother didn't scold him, but instead told me not to talk nonsense and wanted me to be infamous. ..."
The crowd was in an uproar.
Mrs. Xuan Guo is so eccentric? This is... Knowing Tao Rui was not his own person?
So what did Tao Bin do to shame his ancestors? Mrs. Xuan Guogong actually let Tao Rui's elder son give her younger brother the trick?
"Shi Zi Ye!" Xia Rui was frightened and interrupted him loudly, not dare to let him go on, "Shi Zi Ye, how can you misunderstand Madam like this? Loving mothers are more defeated, Madam is just being strict with you. You can't help outsiders hurt Madam's heart!"
She said impliedly: "The lady just said that they are the ones who did the wrong thing, and you are innocent. Even if you are not the wife of your own life, your wife will treat you as your own son, and you will never be allowed to admit that your behavior is improper. Be a relative. Madam specifically confessed that the slave and maid would invite you back. You are still the young master of the National Palace."
This is a guarantee for Tao Rui's prosperity and wealth. He only needs to froze for a while, hesitate, and he will be taken back to the mansion, and the case will be settled. It doesn't matter whether he makes trouble or not in the future.
But Tao Rui didn't hesitate, he just sneered as if he had returned to his mind, "Seventeen years ago, I was punished for kneeling, playing board games, confinement, and deducting money for the month. There was never a day of joy, and he wanted me to continue. To be the young master of the Guogong Mansion? I don't want to kill the young master!
Everyone was surprised again, all of them twisted their necks and raised their ears, wanting to hear the deeper and more secret gossip of the government.
The Tao family felt so distressed that their eye circles were red, and Fuxi even treated that Xuanguo Gongfu was like a wolf's den, holding Xiuniang's hand tightly.
Tao Rui stood up and approached Xia Rui oppressively step by step, and asked in a deep voice, "Is this the lady who has changed her child's conscience, or is she trying to pretend to be generous in front of everyone? No matter which kind, I will not accompany you. You guys play.
You said Xiuniang changed her child? That is to say, the subordinates trained by the dignified lady of the country are all rubbish? Do you want to find out all those people and ask? I can't find it, right? Are they still alive?
Did you just say that the wife was born premature? Said the embroidered lady is strong? So can the children of the two of them be the same age? Isn't a premature child weak? Isn't it small? A child born half an hour earlier is the same as a newborn child? Don't you need to scrub your body? Did you let Xiuniang handle it from beginning to end? Didn't the servants of the National Palace even look at it? "
People who had given birth suddenly agreed. This continual question was that the question was on the punctuality. In addition, his aura was too strong, and Xia Rui, a maid, was shocked to speak, and was so nervous that he didn't know how to refute it.
Xiu Niang breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, that's it. It's impossible for the two children to look the same. There is still blood on the newly born body. If I were not dizzy, Xuanguo Mansion would not even want to change my child. I , I'm not sure if I fainted on my own, maybe that mother did some tricks?"
She turned around and knelt down to Master Wu, choked up, "My lord, how could she let Fuxi grow up and be found out if she changes children? How could she tell her birthmarks in court?
The woman thought about it. The rain stopped that day. When Mrs. Xuanguo left, her face was pale, and she had more vents and less air intake. She must have a dystocia and fear that she would not be able to give birth, so she changed her son to ensure her status.
Unexpectedly, she took care of her body and gave birth to her own son, so she tried to rub my son in every possible way to see if he was not pleasing to the eye! My lord, the ladies are wronged, the nonsense made up by Mrs. Xuan Guo is full of mistakes, and the adults are careful, and I hope that Mrs. Xuan Guo will be punished severely! "
Xia Rui said anxiously: "Hugh is so nonsense! My lord, my wife loves the elder son very much, but the elder son doesn't like the wife's strictness, so she has a little misunderstanding..."
Tao Rui asked expectantly: "Does she know what I am good at? She loves me so much and knows which poem I write? Which painting I have seen? You are her most useful maid. If she pays attention to me , You can't not know, right?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Xia Rui. They heard that Tao Rui was so talented that he sounded five rounds in succession, and he was not a mess at all. They didn't know before, so the mother who values Tao Rui should always know?
But Xia Rui can't tell! She had only heard his wife's disdain and scolding of Tao Rui. Yesterday she knew that Tao Rui was not a idiot, but no one had seen his work.
No one is a fool. Seeing Xia Rui's hesitation, there is a guess in her heart. Tao Rui also showed disappointment, shook her head and laughed at herself, "I should have expected that if she was half-distracted on me, she wouldn't be able to praise Tao Bin when she meets people, and demean me for nothing."
By coincidence that Qingsong came back, Tao Rui asked, "Can the marriage be retired?"
"Don't worry, Shi Ziye has already retired!" Qing Song nodded heavily with a look of joy, as if he had thrown off some dirty things, and made people wonder what was wrong with Qin.
Tao Rui said with a cold face: "Don't call me my son in the future. I'm just the son of the Tao family, a farmer in Xishan Village. Qingsong, you go to the Guogong Mansion and take out the prizes I won the day before. Don't move the rest."
Qing Song didn't understand why he only left for a while, so the master is not the son of the world? But seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was tense, he gritted his teeth and responded, "Yes, master, let's do it for the younger ones!"
Tao Rui bowed his hand to Master Wu, "This matter has already come to light. I also ask the adults to do me a favor and change my household registration. After being separated for so many years, it is time to reunite our family."
Mr. Wu said embarrassedly: "The elder son is not anxious. Many of these things are unfounded and can't be regarded as the truth. Why don't you transfer this case to Dali Temple for a detailed trial?"
When it comes to the position of the son of the world, it is necessary to report to the emperor. Master Wu feels that the water is too deep, and if the judgment is not good, he will suffer. He doesn't want to get mixed up.
Tao Rui said coldly: "As the lord said, after seventeen years, the evidence is difficult to find, but I believe that justice is in the hearts of the people. Today I call the shots and take back the accusation against Mrs. Guo Gong for my parents. I will not pursue her for stealing. In the matter of changing children, if you don't tell me what they told me to shut up, it is just to repay them for raising me over the years.
But if Guo Gongfu wants to continue to wrong my parents, we will definitely stay with us even when we arrive at Dali Temple and Jinluan Temple. "
The situation was beyond Xia Rui's control. She looked back at the housekeeper uneasily, and the housekeeper couldn't stop Tao Rui. The trouble has reached this point, and no one can hold onto it anymore.
Tao Rui is better than to say, everyone will think that there are a lot of dirty things in Xuanguo Gongfu. Tao Li in the teahouse has almost passed out, but she can't be tough now, otherwise she will be found killed. What to do with those few people?
She hated that she was stupid back then, she had understood the master's order wrong, and exchanged for Tao Rui, a debt collector. I hate myself for being soft-hearted, and he didn't kill Tao Rui earlier. Now, as Tao Rui said, fairness is at ease, and she can't get rid of it. But how could she think that things would become like this one day?
The court case can basically be closed. Tao Jin and Xiuniang looked at Tao Rui nicely, feeling that he and they were different in the village that day, and they didn't seem to be in the same world. They were so powerful that they couldn't be offended. a feeling of.
But Xiu Niang squeezed Fuxi's hand, her heart was very restless, Tao Rui now recognizes it, but what about Fuxi? She can't give her daughter to that vicious government mansion, but can she not return her daughter?
Tao Rui seemed to have a clear heart with her, and said to Master Wu: "Although the wrongdoing is true, it is up to the victim to decide whether to recognize the ancestor and return to the clan. I don't want to enter the Xuanguo government again, naturally. She is willing to recognize her ancestor and return to her ancestry. But the Tao family girl, she just said that she had a good life in the Tao family, and in my opinion, she may not be willing to enter the Xuanguo government."
Master Wu, Fuxi and others were all taken aback. They didn't think that there was such a possibility. Fuxi immediately asked nervously and expectantly: "My lord, Minnv doesn't want to go to Xuanguo's mansion. Minnv just wants to be a Westerner. The daughter of the Tao family in the mountain village, can you?"
Looking closely, she was pale, and she seemed to be very afraid of Xuanguo Mansion. This really embarrassed Master Wu.
Tao Rui met all kinds of people. Every time he met such an innocent and kind person, he couldn't help but feel soft. He turned around and walked to Fuxi and promised comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, I have taken you for 17 years. Wealth and honor will return you forever glory."
Fuxi supposedly only saw Tao Rui for the second time. She should be very strange, but at this moment, she looked at the person in front of her and suddenly felt a sense of peace of mind. She nodded unconsciously and said softly, "You It's not your fault that I didn't account for my wealth."
Tao Rui smiled and turned around and said: "Master Wu, no one wants to recognize a mother who abandons her. As a parent official, I believe she will be able to sympathize with Miss Tao's resistance to Xuanguo Palace. Since she does not want to, then Let her still be the daughter of the Tao family."
Mrs. Wu hurriedly said: "The elder son said carefully! There were many doubts about the matter back then, and there was no judgment. It can not be said that Mrs. Xuan Guo abandoned Miss Tao. This is not appropriate."
Tao Rui nodded in agreement, "Master Wu said it is very true, she is in the next mistake. However, Miss Tao is the adopted daughter of the Tao family, and her household registration is also in the Tao family. Unless necessary, there is no need to change it. After I transfer the household registration, she will be me. Sister."
Master Wu thought to herself, if the girl's household registration can't be changed, can you change it at will? However, looking at the official residence of Xuanguo that had already agreed with Baocuo, Tao Rui's household registration would really be changed. But he didn't want to get involved with this.
Master Wu gave a light cough and considered it: "Since this matter has nothing to do with the spreading of rumors, it will be discussed later. Now the maid named Yue'er in the hall has pleaded guilty. Although the content of the rumor was confirmed to be true, she stole the owner's property, With malice in mind, bribing others, he should be sentenced to parade in public and exiled for three thousand miles."
"There are also these few people who don't know the truth, deceive the people, and are sentenced to parade in the streets and do coolies for three years. My son, this case is over.
"Master Wu is upright and honest, and the case is fair, thank Master Wu." Tao Rui didn't embarrass him at all. Although other things seemed to be fruitless, he already had the justice he wanted.
If people suing officials without sufficient evidence are to be sentenced, of course he can't let the Tao family really fight against the Guogong Mansion. Everything is just to let everyone know the truth. Even if they can't find evidence from 17 years ago, people There is also a discernment in my heart. He left the Guogong Mansion, and if Fuxi did not return to the Guogong Mansion, no one would say that they were not filial.
The case was over, and the sentenced people were dragged away by the yakuza in despair. After receiving this punishment, they would have to spend half their lives if they didn't die. Each of them regretted not.
Everyone onlookers awakened and saw the fate of the rumors with their own eyes. How could they dare to talk nonsense? And Tao Rui's vigorous and resolute appearance also left an unattractive impression on them.
Because everyone was curious, Tao Rui made it clear that he was leaving Xuanguo's mansion to recognize his parents. Then he fell from the quagmire of his son to become a farmer, can he still be majestic?
Without waiting for everyone to think about it, he saw Qingsong running over with a big bag on his back. Tao Rui told him: "Find a pawnshop and turn everything into it. Open a few inns and go to the house. My parents are all shocked and let them live well. It's a rest. Go to Qi Yushi's family to talk to Mingxian and let him find a house for me."
Hey, everyone don't have to worry about Tao Rui. Even if he is not the son of the prince, he still has his friends all over the capital. Not only will he not fall down, he will also bring his father and mother together to be rich and wealthy!
