The kid's eyes followed the light beam that swayed back and forth a few times, and then he looked at Shen Qingqing's smiling mouth with a horrified look. Without daring to answer a word, he jumped up to the roof and ran away, meeting the cat.
The mouse ran very fast.
Shen Qingqing looked at her running out of the double shadow and sneered: "You run, can you run away?"
After saying that, he turned back to look at Qi Xingtang and his wife. They were huddled together in the corner, one shaking more than the other.
"Stop shaking, come here and open the secret room."
Qi Xingtang patted his wife on the back to express comfort, and bravely walked towards the place where the mechanism was hidden. This time, no accident happened. With a bang, the door of the secret room opened.
Bright light poured out from the secret room, illuminating half of the bamboo forest. Shen Qingqing squinted her eyes, turned off the flashlight after getting used to such strong light, and strode in.
Qi Xingtang and his wife looked at each other and followed her step by step into the secret room.
As soon as you enter the door, the first thing you see is the burning oil lamp and the shocking vermilion charm. Looking inside, you can see Aunt Tao and the old housekeeper hiding in the corner with a child in their arms.
Shen Qingqing glanced at the sleeping Meng Qixue, her pupils shrank, and murderous intent rose on her face, "Let the child go, and I can consider leaving a way for you to survive."
Qi Xingtang was also startled and said hurriedly: "What are you doing? Bring the child over quickly. We don't want to extend our birthday anymore. We don't want to borrow it anymore!"
"Master, don't be stupid. We have been looking for so long to find a suitable person. We only need to persist for another seven days and we will be done. Are you willing to give up at this time?"
The old housekeeper hugged Meng Qixue tightly with a firm voice.
"Uncle Zhang, I know you chose this path because you feel sorry for Xinyue. I have seen how good you have been to Xinyue in the past two years, but some things are just wrong if they are wrong... You are not doing this
Saving her is adding to her sins and making her life miserable in the next life, do you understand?"
Ning's voice slowed down and she gently advised him: "Let the child go, and let's go find a famous doctor. There are so many talented people in Daqi, and there will always be one who can cure Xinyue's disease."
"No, I am the one who harmed people. Even if I have to suffer retribution, I should suffer retribution. It has nothing to do with Xinyue!" The old housekeeper roared angrily: "Don't tell me what is right or wrong. As parents and elders,
If you want to save your own children, do you still care about what is right and what is wrong?"
"Qi Xingtang, you have been hesitant, isn't it because Xinyue is not your biological daughter? Sure enough, the child she picked up is not close to her, and she even refuses to save her life. You are not worthy to be her parents!"
"They don't deserve it, but you do, right?" Shen Qingqing said with a cold face, "A man who abandoned his wife and daughter for a small profit has the nerve to accuse others of not being worthy of being parents?"
"Abandoning his wife and daughter?" Qi Xingtang was stunned when he heard this, "Girl, are you talking about Uncle Zhang? He was married and had children? But he told me clearly that he had no wife or children, and he didn't even have anyone to rely on.
I don’t have any relatives!”
Qi Xingtang felt as if someone had slapped him in the face with a shovel, and his head was buzzing. He had chosen the old butler from a group of young people because of his tragic life experience.
Over the years, he taught him how to calculate accounts and how to do business, training him from a short-sighted country scholar to a well-rounded businessman, and even took care of him until he died.
It turned out that the so-called tragic experiences were all fake, made up to deceive his sympathy!
Qi Xingtang felt extremely frustrated. He sincerely treated people as big brothers, but they treated him like a fool and fooled him. Who wouldn't be angry?
Shen Qingqing's next words pushed his anger to the extreme.
"Well, isn't your Uncle Zhang's daughter right over there? Oh, and there's also his granddaughter, who has a whole family."
Granddaughter.
The four light words shocked everyone present.
Qi Xingtang and Ning's eyes widened with disbelief on their faces, while the old housekeeper and Tao Gu were frightened and shocked after the scam was exposed.
"Xin Yue is Uncle Zhang's granddaughter?"
"How do you know this?"
The four people spoke at the same time, and there was a moment of silence in the secret room, and then Ning's sad cry sounded.
"I just want to raise a child of my own, why can't God let me have my wish?"
It has been twenty years since she got married at the age of seventeen. In the past twenty years, in order to successfully conceive and give birth to a child, she drank bowl after bowl of herbal medicine and visited one temple after another. Only she knew how much suffering she had endured.
.
Finally, at the age of thirty-four, she gave birth to a healthy and beautiful girl named Xinhuan. She lived a really happy life that year, with a considerate husband, a daughter in her arms, and endless money at home.
, there is not a woman in Xiangcheng who does not envy her luck.
But happy times are always short-lived. Xinhuan disappeared just after she turned one year old. She and her husband searched all over Xiangcheng and finally found the burnt body of a girl in a ruined temple outside the city.
As a result, she became seriously ill and almost lost her life several times. Later, with the comfort of her family, she slowly thought about it and thought that she might have children in the future.
Although she knew in her heart that even if she had a hundred more children, her sweetheart would never come back.
A month later, she and her husband went to a newly opened store to inspect the business. On the way, they met a little girl who was bullied by a group of boys. The girl looked to be just over a year old. She could not speak fully. She was skinny and skinny, except for
A pair of big, watery eyes are particularly beautiful.
The little girl looked at her timidly with tears in her eyes, opened her mouth and called "Mother", and her tears immediately couldn't stop. She thought of her Xin Huan, and Xin Huan didn't seem to know how to call her mother when he left.
.
Seeing her crying so sadly, Uncle Zhang took the initiative to stand up and said, "If Madam really feels sorry for this little girl, why not adopt her directly? Meeting her is fate. Maybe she is another daughter sent to you by God?"
She also wanted a child so much that she felt dizzy when she heard this and agreed without even thinking about it.
Qi Xingtang saw that she had regained her vitality because of the child, so naturally he would not say a word against it. The couple had a second daughter in this way, and they were very happy.
After spending more than two years together day and night, she had already ignored the blood relationship and regarded the child as her biological daughter. She served the child food and medicine, dressed and combed her hair, and tried her best to be a qualified mother.
But now someone told her that Xinyue was Uncle Zhang's granddaughter, so the chance encounter was actually a carefully planned conspiracy to trick her into adopting the little girl.
Ning looked at the old housekeeper with tears streaming down her face, "What is your purpose in trying so hard to trick me into adopting Xinyue? To play with my desire to be a mother? Or are you attracted to the Qi family's incredible wealth and want to share it with you?"
A piece of soup?"
The old housekeeper knew that he could no longer hide it, so he simply broke the pot and said bluntly: "I admit that I did deliberately send Xinyue to you back then. It was not for the Qi family's property or to tease you. I just
I want Xinyue to live!" This chapter has been completed!
