He Tiantian blinked, oh, is there something inside about Cuizhu?
"My grandma said it" was also said casually by He Tiantian.
He Tiantian was "bullying" the dead person into being unable to speak, so he pushed certain things onto the original owner's mother.
When she made up this lie just now, she didn't forget to pray in her heart——
"Mrs. Zheng, please don't blame the little girl for talking nonsense. I also feel sorry for your elder brother!"
"I believe that if you were still alive, you would not watch this villain like Gongsun Lei take the son you gave birth to in ten months to gain fame and earn a future!"
It is said that mothers are strong, and mothers are often more sincere towards their children.
Men may sacrifice their children for reasons such as filial piety, benevolence, kindness, etc., but the vast majority of women will not.
Although He Tiantian has never met the original owner's biological mother, Mrs. Zheng, she doesn't understand her personality or character.
But He Tiantian believes in a mother's instinct.
In addition, from Gongsun Lei's words, He Tiantian also heard some clues——
Before Zheng Cuizhu died, she was already very weak from illness, but she still worked hard to plan for her son.
She seemed to have severely cheated Gongsun Lei. The reason why Gongsun Lei ignored and disliked Gongsun Dalang was because of his anger.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Zheng Cuizhu, who was able to deceive a villain like Gongsun Lei who was just looking for fame and reputation, was definitely not a submissive little woman who put her husband first.
That's why He Tiantian firmly believed that Zheng Cuizhu would understand her difficulties in using a dead person!
"Oh, forget it, it's me who can't help you after all!"
Mrs. Hou sighed and said words that she didn't mean.
However, because of what happened to Cuizhu back then, she believed that Cuizhu knew the truth but kept it secret.
As the saying goes, nature is inherently evil.
Selfishness is human nature.
When Cuizhu was with Mrs. Hou, she was indeed honest, capable and very loyal.
But when you get married and have your own son, you also develop your own little thoughts.
If there is another "old grudge", Cuizhu won't even have a psychological burden - I'm not ungrateful, I'm taking revenge!
Mrs. Hou uses herself to judge others, so she can understand Cuizhu very well.
The source of the news has some credibility.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Hou thought of another question, "You were only three years old when your mother-in-law passed away. How can you remember this?"
How can a three-year-old have such a good memory?
Well, my father-in-law, Mr. Yu, who died young, seemed to be a talented person.
It is said that you never forget what you have read!
Could this child have inherited it from his grandfather?
Are you born with a good memory?
Tsk, he is indeed the child she gave birth to. The bloodline of the Yu family is indeed extraordinary.
"To tell you the truth, I have had a good memory since I was a child!"
"Besides, what Aniang said was so unbelievable that I will remember it firmly."
He Tiantian deliberately acted like "I am destined to be extraordinary".
Although she had only had brief contact with Mrs. Hou today, she had already vaguely felt the pulse of this noble man——
Claims to be noble and has a strong class consciousness;
Confidence, publicity, and profit first.
For such people, blood relations are not the most important thing.
He Tiantian understands Mrs. Hou's temperament and the current predicament of the Yu family, so naturally she is happy to show her "strength".
Sure enough, seeing He Tiantian's confident and proud look, Mrs. Hou's eyes flashed with appreciation and relief.
OK, good boy!
However, Mrs. Hou appreciates it more than she appreciates it, but she still needs to ask questions clearly in her heart.
I just heard her continue to ask: "After your mother-in-law passed away, you also went to the Hou Mansion several times, and I saw you!"
At this point, Mrs. Hou looked at He Tiantian intently: "Since you know your life experience, why didn't you tell me when you saw me?"
Aren’t children born to admire their biological parents?
Furthermore, as far as Mrs. Hou knew, Gongsun Dalang did not live well in the Gongsun family.
You don't even have to inquire, just look at the way he wears old clothes all year round and looks thin, you can know his situation.
After being wronged and knowing that I was supposed to be a child of a noble family, wouldn't I want to recognize my ancestors and return to the clan?
He Tiantian looked back at Madam Hou calmly, her eyes as clear as water.
She said in a childlike voice, "Actually, I still don't believe my mother-in-law's words."
"Where is the Marquis Mansion? I haven't encountered troubled times or any accidents. How can I easily change my children?"
"Furthermore, my father is a martial arts instructor in the Hou Mansion and is deeply favored by the Hou Mansion. Why would he do this?"
Gongsun Lei: ...Yes, why did I do this?
Even if I covet the wealth of the Marquis Mansion, I still have a brain, okay?
Substituting one thing for another?
Ha, once this kind of thing is exposed, you will be jailed at least, and you will be exiled or beheaded at worst!
Does he think his life is too long, or what?
And the most crucial point is that the relationship between Gongsun Lei and his wife Cuizhu is not good.
He hated the house and the bird, and he was not even close to Gongsun Li, the eldest son.
A selfish and cold-blooded person like Gongsun Lei would never sacrifice himself for a son he doesn't like!
Gongsun Lei is not stupid at all.
However, the fact that things have reached this stage is not his doing, but his doing.
Reputations such as being ungrateful and greedy for wealth are firmly welded on his head.
Gongsun Lei was purely wronged, but the young minister of Dali Temple, Madam Hou and others felt that Gongsun Lei was despicable and shameless!
Looking at Gongsun Lei with contempt again, Mrs. Hou asked: "This time, Gongsun Lei wants to exchange you with Yu Yan, so you believe what your mother said back then?"
The Marquis is about to be exiled, and it is difficult for a ten-year-old child to survive the hardship of three thousand miles.
Gongsun Lei felt sorry for his own flesh and blood, or felt that the Hou Mansion was in decline, and there was no need to make any more calculations, so he wanted to exchange his biological son for him.
What's even more disgusting is that Gongsun Lei knew the "truth" but also had selfish and dirty thoughts.
But he still ran up to Mrs. Hou, showing an awe-inspiring and heroic appearance.
Obviously he wanted to save his own flesh and blood, but he still had a disgusting face of "I sacrificed myself for the Hou Mansion" and tried to be the benefactor of the Hou Mansion.
He, he has always regarded the Hou Mansion and her Yang Jinhua as a fool, as a victim of injustice!
"……right!"
He Tiantian nodded vigorously and said clearly, "Because only in this way can we explain all kinds of things that Dad does!"
Yes, no normal parents would be willing to use their own flesh and blood to save other people's children.
Don't talk about loyal servants or righteous men.
There are too few such examples, so they are praised by the world.
In reality, it is more likely that a slave who has been loyal for more than ten years betrays his benefactor because of his relatives.
Or maybe a knight who was once righteous and brave, but because the bounty was large enough, he raised the butcher's knife against his benefactor and brother.
Human nature is inherently evil, and selfishness is human nature.
Gongsun Lei: ...I'm not, I didn't, I, I was wronged.
He was just too selfish to think about using a son he didn't like or care about to gain a good reputation.
But now, let alone his good reputation, he has become a despicable and shameless villain.
Gongsun Lei himself couldn't figure it out, how could things get to this point?
Obviously things went smoothly before.
Gongsun Lei was slumped on the ground, his eyes dull and his face full of despair.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, but Yu Yan, who went to court with Mrs. Hou, fell into a sluggish state after hearing the so-called "mystery of life experience".
What?
I, I am not a child of the Yu family?
Am I the flesh and blood of Gongsun Lei, the arrogant charlatan who only knows how to show off his words, and Cuizhu, the slave?
impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
My mother-in-law is a first-class marquise with royal blood;
My father is the Marquis of Yong'an, a dignified first-class general, and a descendant of the Yu family in the East China Sea!
...How could such a ridiculous thing as child exchange exist in this world?
And that Gongsun Dalang, he was originally a humble pariah, a poor little person who could only be used as a scapegoat for him!
Why did he and Gongsun Dalang suddenly switch identities?
Why, why is he not the crown prince, but the Gongsun Dalang whom he looks down upon?!
After all, Yu Yan was just a ten-year-old child. He had just experienced a huge change in the Hou family, fell from heaven to hell, and stayed in prison for half a month. His mentality was already a bit broken.
Now he heard such a "truth" that he couldn't accept at all, and his mind went blank.
Yu Yan has no idea what to do, let alone where his future is?!
Gongsun Lei and Yu Yan both looked as if they had been struck by lightning, dumbfounded.
At first glance, they look somewhat similar.
Mrs. Hou captured this scene keenly, and she became more and more convinced of the theory of "swapping sons".
However, Mrs. Hou did not completely believe it.
Moreover, she raised Yu Yan for ten years.
Ten years, not just a day or two, can develop feelings for a cat or dog, let alone a living person?
After closing her eyes hard, Mrs. Hou decided to recognize Gongsun Li, but she did not want to beat Yu Yan to death with a stick.
Therefore, when the "case" was heard clearly and the young minister of Dali Temple asked the victim, Mrs. Hou, if she wanted to seek justice from Gongsun Lei, Mrs. Hou endured the hatred and said magnanimously:
"Gongsun has been teaching and studying in the Marquis Mansion for more than ten years. He has always been dedicated to his work and has great respect for the Marquis."
"Back then, he was probably confused for a moment, and that's why he did something wrong!"
"...Forget it, after all, it has not caused any negative consequences, and the Marquis Mansion has been defeated, I, I will not pursue it any further."
Having said this, Mrs. Hou turned to look at Gongsun Lei.
Seeing that Gongsun Lei still looked dazed and confused, Mrs. Hou became even more angry.
She shouted, "Gongsun Lei!"
Gongsun Lei was startled by the sudden shouting, and he woke up with a start.
He quickly recalled what he vaguely heard just now, and a look of surprise burst out in his eyes: Mrs. Hou wants to let me go?!
Come to think of it, Mrs. Hou is worried about Yu Yan.
And Yu Yan is only ten years old. If "everyone returns to his own place", he should return to the Gongsun family.
If something happens to Gongsun Lei, who will take care of Yu Yan?
After all, Yu Yan has lived as the heir apparent of the Hou family for ten years. In the subconscious mind of many people, he is still a member of the Yu family.
Even if you are not a biological child, you can still adopt an adopted son.
Mrs. Hou will definitely not let the child she raised fall into the dust and be bullied by others!
And he, Gongsun Lei, is the best candidate to "tuogu".
Ahem, things have come full circle and seem to be back to the starting point——
After all, Mrs. Hou originally wanted to entrust Yu Yan to Gongsun Lei.
It's just that the current situation is slightly different from the original plan.
Mrs. Hou: ...is it "slightly"? It's clearly a huge difference.
Gongsun Lei realized Mrs. Hou's plan and immediately felt confident.
He hurriedly knelt down and straightened up, regained his upright and chivalrous appearance as Gongsun Daxia, and said loudly, "Madam, please give me your instructions!"
Mrs. Hou held back her nausea and pretended to be tolerant and said, "Gongsun Lei, I don't care about the past anymore. Please take good care of Chengsi for the sake of the general and my kindness!"
Gongsun Lei hurriedly responded, "Yes! I obey my orders!"
After saying this, Gongsun Lei still looked at Mrs. Hou expectantly.
He seemed to be asking silently: Madam, what next?
Shouldn’t it be time for the Hou Mansion’s backhand and those hidden properties to be handed over to me?
After all, I am the sole and important minister who protects the "young lord".
Of course Mrs. Hou could understand Gongsun Lei's eyes, but she had no desire to fall in love with him.
Are you kidding me?
Yu Yan was most likely not a bloodline of the Hou family. How could she easily tell him the Hou family's last trump card?
And this Gongsun Lei, who looks so ambitious and a philistine, is not someone who can be entrusted with important responsibilities at all.
Even if Yu Yan is really her own son, Mrs. Hou would not trust Gongsun Lei when she sees him like this.
It is normal for such villains to guard and steal. If they don't get it right, they will seek money and kill themselves, and turn against customers.
Those treasures and secret guards are the only wealth left in the Hou Mansion, and Mrs. Hou will never take advantage of outsiders.
Of course, she would not hand it over to Gongsun Dalang easily.
[Gongsun Lei should be killed, he is really hateful. Let him do this, I don’t know who to believe!]
Mrs. Hou is absolutely in a miserable mood now.
She believed in both Gongsun Dalang and Yu Yan, but she also had doubts about them.
The suspicion of "swapping a child" has made it impossible for mother and son to trust or be close to each other.
He Tiantian:...This is the effect we want!
If you don’t feel that you are superior and that you have the right to dominate other people’s lives, then you should also experience the feeling of being calculated and controlled.
As the culprit, Mrs. Hou did not pursue Gongsun Lei, the culprit who confused the bloodline of the Hou family, and the young minister of Dali Temple did not bother to meddle in other matters.
At most, out of disdain, they randomly found an excuse and ordered the guards to hit Gongsun Lei twenty times.
Then, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple took the "real" prince Gongsun Li of the Hou Mansion into custody and sent him back to the prison together with Mrs. Hou.
On the way, Mrs. Hou pretended to be distressed and sighed, "My child, you shouldn't admit it."
"If you don't tell the truth about that year, Gongsun Lei can't force you into jail as long as you don't agree!"
"It's fine now. You have restored your identity, but you have to be exiled to the northwest with your mother!"
"It's pitiful that you are so young and your body is so weak. How did you suffer the pain of being exiled for three thousand miles?"
He Tiantian straightened up her little body and said proudly, "Since I am a bloodline of the Yu family, I should have the arrogance of the Yu family. How can I abandon my ancestors and live in vain?"
Mrs. Hou & Yu Yan:... was connoted again.
He Tiantian continued, "Furthermore, although exile is bitter, can it be as bitter as being raised in the hands of despicable people?"
Mrs. Hou looked at He Tiantian blankly. She seemed to see her husband who died in the border battle, and she seemed to see her eldest son who died young...
