Feng Yu then asked, "Since the midwife said she wanted to hand over the jade pendant to Tao Xiang, did she say anything else?"
"No."
"Then tell me, since that piece of jade pendant is the finest mutton-fat white jade, would the midwife want to take it for herself for her own selfish reasons? In fact, she did not hand the jade pendant into the hands of Prime Minister Tao?"
"No. That midwife, she is very loyal to Tao Xiang and will not embezzle it for herself."
"So, this midwife is not someone whom Prime Minister Tao temporarily arranged and found? She is a close confidant of Prime Minister Tao?"
Only then did Shangguan Feihong realize that Feng Yu was trying to trick her in a quiet way. The word "loyalty" in her words had slipped out unknowingly.
Indeed, the midwife was not the person arranged temporarily by Tao Xiang. Although she did not know what kind of master-servant status the midwife had with Tao Xiang, she could not tell from the fact that the midwife never left Tao Xiang and always looked towards Tao Xiang.
Even when the word "Tao Xiang" is mentioned, her expression becomes very respectful. From a series of small details, it can be definitely concluded that she is not ordinary loyal to Tao Xiang. But she does not seem to be Tao Xiang's.
My wife and concubine are probably one or two years older than Tao Xiang, and her appearance is very ordinary, not outstanding.
"Answer me, don't deliberately delay and test my patience." Feng Yu couldn't wait for Shangguan Feihong to answer for a moment, so she urged her coldly.
"Yes, he is his confidant, that's right." Shangguan Feihong gritted his teeth.
Feng Yu then began to think secretly.
From Shangguan Feihong's description of the jade pendant, we can clearly know that the jade pendant is worth a lot of money.
And that piece of jade pendant was stuffed in the baby's body and was still stained with blood. There were definitely not many people who had come into contact with the child. What's more, the child that Shangguan Feihong just said was just born, so there were even fewer people who had come into contact with it.
.
Then, the jade pendant was most likely stuffed in by the child's biological mother secretly when no one was paying attention.
Moreover, Tao Xiang probably did not know about this matter and did not agree to it. If he had agreed, it would have been impossible for him not to tell the midwife to let the jade pendant stay.
From this point of view, the question of whether that woman was willing to make a deal with Tao Xiang, that she did not want a child, and agreed to give the child to Tao Xiang in exchange for any benefits, or was she coerced by Tao Xiang and had no choice but to do so?
Perhaps we can guess something about this.
However, it's not entirely certain yet.
But what is certain is that that woman is not an ordinary person.
An ordinary piece of mutton-fat white jade is already worth a lot of money, and the best grade of mutton-fat white jade is worth more than several times. Sometimes you may not be able to buy it if you have money. It is impossible for ordinary people to own such precious things.
As for the midwife, since she is so loyal to Prime Minister Tao, there is no way that she is someone whom Prime Minister Tao found at short notice. I just deliberately asked Shangguan Feihong if he was a confidant of Prime Minister Tao, just to confirm it again. Then
To check her, you can check Tao Xiang's close confidants in recent years, and you may be able to find out something.
Also, and the most important point, is what Shangguan Feihong said. She said that the child sent in was also just born and was still stained with blood, which means that the child who was brought back was probably in Prince Xin's Mansion.
Those who were born in the surrounding areas were sent in as soon as they were born. And this is completely withstand scrutiny.
