Chapter 308 The Nameless Monument of the Anonymous
"I told the truth, but you didn't believe me and kept insisting on me. What will you do?"
Chen Shaoan had clearly seen the suspicious look in Su Nianyun's eyes. He just wanted to make a quick decision and leave the court.
He hasn't regained Su Nianyun's heart yet, so he must not push her further and further away at this time.
"Sir, it was out of anger that I was being pestered that I beat the cow mother. I bear all the responsibilities!"
After speaking, he looked at the old lady and stretched out his hand to her.
The old lady was stunned for a moment, "What?"
"Mom, money..." Chen Shaoan whispered to his mother, "I don't have any money with me. You should have some with you. Give me the money and send this woman away first."
When the old lady touched her sleeve, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her body.
In order to clean up the mess left by Chen Shaoan, she even spent all her own treasury. Now the little money she had was really worth every penny less.
It's clear that the Chen family is in dire straits, but Chen Shaoan still wants to use money to send this beggaring old woman away.
The old lady thinks this deal is not a good deal.
Just as she was about to shake her head and refuse, she suddenly noticed her son's eyes that looked like he was asking for help.
Could it be that...the old lady suddenly became excited.
After meeting Niu Ma, An'er's reaction was extremely violent, and she even hit someone.
Could it be that he really knew Mother Niu’s son, or that something unspeakable happened between the two of them?
Judging from the eagerness in his son's eyes to get away, this must not be a good thing.
The old lady felt like the world was spinning for a while, but she had no choice but to take out a piece of silver from her sleeve.
Chen Shaoan threw the money in front of the cow mother, "This is compensation for beating you. Don't bother me again!"
Immediately, he said to the governor of Jingzhao, "Sir, I admit that it was wrong to beat her, and I also compensated her. Can we leave now?"
The governor of Jingzhao could tell there was something fishy.
But just like what he said to Niu Ma, without evidence and just relying on a letter, there will be no results.
"That's all, let's go!"
The governor of Jingzhao looked at Mother Niu, "Perhaps when you were running around looking for your son, he might have already returned to your hometown. You can go back to your hometown first..."
Before the governor of Jingzhao could finish speaking, Su Nianyun, who had been watching the show, suddenly spoke up.
"Sir, Nianyun has been listening to Mother Niu crying for so long, and suddenly she has some ideas."
"Princess...what did you think of?" Jingzhao Fuyin asked in surprise.
The arm holding his mother tightened, and Chen Shaoan stopped walking to leave.
"Mama Niu, please don't cry yet," Su Nianyun said, "I was born in the Su family in Mobei, and the people I respect most in my life are the soldiers who guard Mobei."
"Don't worry, I will try my best to help you find your son."
"Really?" Niu Ma didn't expect that the person whom Mr. Fu Yin called a princess would be so approachable.
It would be much more convenient for the princess to find someone for her.
Su Nianyun said, "Can you tell me in detail about your son's figure and appearance?"
The old woman wiped the tears on her face and said hurriedly, "My son is so long..."
She didn't know how to describe her son, but she suddenly got stuck.
Su Nianyun reminded, "If you don't know how to describe it, then use the people present to compare it. Look among them. Is there anyone similar to your son?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Shaoan's expression changed.
Sure enough, after being reminded by Su Nianyun, Niu Ma's eyes wandered around the crowd and finally landed on Chen Shao'an.
"My son's height, fatness and weight are similar to those of the Chen family's uncle..."
Chen Shaoan staggered and forced himself to stand upright.
In my heart, no matter what you say, no one will know the truth anyway.
Jingzhao Prefecture Yin, who was sitting in the hall, saw Su Nianyun's confused look and asked, "Princess, what do you mean by this?"
Su Nianyun said, "Sir, to tell you the truth, I have a guess..."
"Speculation?"
"Yes," Su Nianyun nodded, "Chen Mansion once held a funeral for the deceased Chen Shaoan."
"Although you will know in the end that Chen Shaoan's death was a mistake, the coffin buried by the Chen family contained a real dead person."
"So just now Niu Ma said that her son looks similar to Chen Shao'an, so I immediately thought..." She didn't continue.
"By the way," the head catcher next to him also remembered, "I remember that when the princess was at the funeral, she almost killed herself by crashing into the coffin!"
Now, everyone remembered.
By the way, Princess Nianyun really loves Chen Shaoan, but it's a pity...she married an inhumane person.
Who among the people here doesn’t know about Chen Shaoan’s examination fraud, and who can fall in love with him?
After listening to Su Nianyun's speculation, Niu Ma knelt down on the ground with her legs weak.
She comforted herself that her son was blessed with good fortune.
While crying, he begged, "Master Fu Yin, please open the coffin and conduct an autopsy to see if he is my son!"
"That's fine..."
The governor of Jingzhao was moved by the story of Niu Ma's long journey to find her son, and decided to help her.
He looked up at the Chen family and said, "Take us to the cemetery where people are buried immediately."
When everyone followed the Chen family and their entourage to the burial place of the Chen family, they saw that there was a wilderness cemetery all around. Everyone's impression of the old lady was greatly reduced.
"Old madam, did you really let someone throw the coffin here randomly?"
"Old madam, even if you know that it's not your son in the coffin, you won't leave him in the wilderness, right?"
The onlookers pointed at the Chen family.
The old lady's wrinkled face turned red and white, and she felt ashamed.
How did she know that someone would really come looking for this unknown body in the end?
The cow mother sat on the ground and cried, "Old lady, your son is a human being, and my son is also a human being. How could you do this to him?"
She cried sadly, more out of despair.
The coffin was missing and the body could not be found. How could she determine the identity of her son?
At this time, Chunhua appeared in time and said, "Why are you here? Our princess has been waiting for you for a long time!"
"What are we waiting for?" Fu Yin didn't know why.
Chunhua said, "Since the princess knew that Chen Shaoan was still alive, she moved the coffin from the Chen family cemetery and buried it elsewhere."
"The princess saw that you were going the wrong way, so she ordered me to come look for you."
The old lady was stunned.
Chen Shaoan was also stunned.
Chen Shaokang was alone beside him and laughed secretly. He said that the princess was not here to help them.
Under the guidance of Chunhua, the group of people bypassed a forest and came to a more spacious and beautiful place.
There, there is an unmarked tombstone.
Seeing everyone coming, Su Nianyun stood next to the tombstone and said, "I don't know his name, so I didn't write it down."
Su Nianyun stepped aside and saw that ingot candles and other objects had been burned in front of the tombstone in advance. Moreover, traces of previous worship were also there, so it was obvious that people came here often.
"Princess," Fu Yin asked, "do you often come to worship this unknown person?"
"Yes," Su Nianyun nodded, "In the past, I worshiped him as my husband, but later I found out that he was not, and I felt sorry for him even more."
"The Anonymous One is miserable here, so I often come to pay my respects. I just hope that he can rest in peace underground!"
