Xiaoyun mustered up the courage to tell who the child's father was, and it would be easier to talk about it in the future.
"This servant was originally a servant of the Zong family, named Chengyun. It was Grandma who transferred me to the study to serve the young Marquis.
Once when the young prince was drunk, he took me...
It didn't take long for the eldest grandma to find out about it and she also got angry. But later, for some unknown reason, she asked the eldest uncle to take me into the house."
"I vaguely heard that Tianbao took in an aunt, but I've never seen her." Jiang Nuan said, "But why were you kicked out again?"
"Speaking of which, I feel that I am really unjust," Cheng Yun said while holding back tears. "Everything was fine before, but then the master and his wife were away from home for a while, and the grandma was in charge of the house.
When I saw my grandma, I didn't pursue it. I felt very sorry, so I made a small dress for my brother.
Who would have thought that the young master couldn't stop crying after wearing the clothes, and finally discovered that there was an embroidery needle hidden in the clothes.
When I was making the clothes, I checked them carefully. I was afraid that if something was wrong, how could I drop the needle on it?
But fortunately, grandma and uncle didn’t hold me accountable at that time, they just told me not to do any more needlework in the future.”
"What happened next?" Jiang Nuan asked.
"Nothing happened afterwards, but suddenly one day both the eldest grandma and the young master fell ill.
I invited many doctors to see me, but no improvement was seen. I was so sick that I went to the doctor immediately, wondering if I was possessed by evil spirits.
Later, we invited someone to investigate and found out that someone had used nightmare magic. They found paper dolls under the beds of the grandma and the young master, which was very scary.
The mage also said that there must be a magic platform, and it can only be cracked if it is found.
Who would have thought that I would eventually find it in my house, with the birth dates of the eldest grandma and the young master written on the little straw figures, and their hands, feet, and heart were pricked with needles.
I said it wasn't me, but I couldn't clear my mind, and the people in the house didn't believe me.
Even the uncle can't tolerate me attacking the young master again and again.
So I was kicked out. My aunt first sold me to someone else, and then asked that person to sell me again.
In order not to let anyone know that I am from the Zong family. Fortunately, I met Madam on the way, otherwise I would..."
"Then why didn't you tell me the truth then?" Jiang Nuan asked her.
"Madam, I don't mean to hide it, but I really don't dare to say anything." Chengyun cried and said, "Once anyone hears that my aunt actually murdered my mistress and young master, they will definitely not be able to take me in.
Secondly, I am also afraid that you will know that I am from the Zong family, so I want to avoid suspicion. In any case, the eldest grandma of the Zong family is also your sister."
"That's all, I understand that you have concerns." Jiang Nuan said, "How many months is the child in your belly? Are you sure it's God's fault?"
"In reply to Madam, I will never dare to tell another lie in front of you." Cheng Yun swore and vowed, "This child is definitely the little Marquis's. After I was kicked out by the clan, I didn't know that I was pregnant.
It wasn't until we got to Zhuangzi that I gradually felt that something was wrong, but I didn't dare to tell anyone.
I really don’t want this child, but I really can’t let it go. I know that I will never get married again in this life, and having a child is something I can hope for and long for.
But I'm really worried. I've been kicked out a long time ago, and people will definitely not recognize me when I go back.
I'm afraid that people will gossip about him when he stays here, and I can't tell who his father is.
Even if I say it, people don’t believe it.
Later I heard that the little Marquis was gone, and I cried for several days.
Thinking that this is his flesh and blood after all, no matter whether others recognize it or not, I have to find a way to give birth to him.
But I didn’t know how to speak, so I had to keep it secret.
Later, madam, you went to Zhuangzi. I didn't expect that you took me with you when you left.
I didn't dare to come, but I couldn't make the decision.
Madam, I definitely didn’t mean to hide it from you. I really don’t know how to speak, please have mercy on me!”
"You're still pregnant with the child! Don't kneel for too long, get up! Sit down and talk." Jiang Nuan helped Cheng Yun up with his hands.
"A Nuan, what are you going to do?" Xu Chunjun asked Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan couldn't help but sigh and expressed worry: "This matter is indeed difficult to handle. Logically speaking, Cheng Yun is pregnant with the blood of the clan, so he should be allowed to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan. This is the best outcome.
But it's easier said than done! The Zong family may not be willing to admit it. If nothing else, Jiang Qing will definitely not allow this child to enter.
But if I keep it secret, I really can't bear it. Tianbao is no longer here, how can I still let his blood flow outside?
Sister Xu, you are the smartest, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
"A Nuan, don't worry, I have to ask Chengyun clearly about some things first." Xu Chunjun said.
"Excuse me, madam, I will never dare to lie." Chengyun stopped crying. Jiang Nuan's attitude towards her made her feel relieved.
"Let me ask you, you said there were embroidery needles in the clothes you made, did the needles really prick the child?" Xu Chunjun asked.
"That's right, the ribs are all red. It looks really pitiful." Chengyun nodded, "I don't dare to lie. I really didn't put the needle in."
"I didn't doubt you," Xu Chunjun said with a gentle smile, "I just wanted to understand the situation more clearly."
Jiang Nuan also said to Chengyun: "If you want to make a decision, Sister Xu will help you. You must tell the truth."
"Don't worry, I will never lie." Cheng Yun said seriously.
"Then let me ask you again, is the birth date nailed on the body of that magic-demon man indeed the young master of the clan?" Xu Chunjun said.
"It's absolutely true. Grandma and uncle saw it at that time, as well as the servants at home. They can't be wrong." Chengyun said, "Otherwise, uncle wouldn't be able to drive me out cruelly. He... he is actually a
The softest person."
Whenever Cheng Yun mentioned Zong Tianbao, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
Even though she was kicked out by the Zong family, she never hated Zong Tianbao.
"Your time in the Zong family is not short. Do you think the grandma of the Zong family loves her young master?" Xu Chunjun asked.
Chengyun was stunned for a moment and said with some uncertainty: "It must hurt, right? How can a mother not love her child?"
"You also saw how An Nuan treated Brother Zao," Xu Chunjun said, "Is Jiang Qing like this too?"
Chengyun thought for a while and shook his head vigorously: "It's different. Madam's love for Brother Zao is really heart-warming.
As long as Brother Zao cries, Madam will personally carry him over and comfort him before handing him over to the wet nurse.
The eldest grandma of the Zong family seldom hugs Brother Xing, not as much as the young Marquis."
"Brother Xing is several months older than Brother Zao! Are he and Jiang Qing close?" Xu Chunjun asked.
"Brother Zao was very happy when he saw the grandma, and he stretched out his hands to hug her. When Brother Xing met the grandma, it was no different from meeting anyone else. He was either looking for the nanny or the young prince," Cheng Yun said.
