After all, the distance between the capital of Dayan and Hanlin Pass is thousands of miles, so it is not easy to get there.
Tang Miaoxin recalled the previous descriptions of Su Ling'er by Marquis Wanhu and Mrs. Li. Su Ling'er was normal before giving birth to her.
So what happened to Su Ling'er later to make her like this?
Tang Miaoxin asked: "What happened next?"
The old lady sighed softly: "Later, the old Marquis thought your mother was very strange and did not dare to keep her in our team anymore."
"I didn't agree. After a few quarrels with him, he asked your mother to stay with us temporarily."
"After confirming that all the people at Hanlin Pass and the soldiers guarding the pass froze to death, the Marquis sent us a letter to the court and took us back."
"When we walked to Lingzhou, the Marquis secretly put your mother on a raft behind my back and let her float away along the river."
"Since then, I have never seen her again. This matter has always been a regret in my heart."
Tang Miaoxin's brows almost twisted into the Chinese character "Chuan": "Float away with the current?"
The old lady felt very guilty and said: "Your mother saved my life, but I failed to protect her. This is my fault."
This was a regret in her heart, so when she first met Tang Miaoxin, she was too embarrassed to mention Su Ling'er in front of Tang Miaoxin.
Tang Miaoxin glanced at the old lady, but she didn't mean to blame the old lady. After all, Su Ling'er's state at that time was indeed too weird.
She only wakes up for half an hour a day, and when she wakes up, she makes predictions, most of which are not good things.
Considering the situation at that time, it was a good thing that the old Marquis Pingyuan did not burn Su Ling'er to death as a monster.
She asked the old lady: "Besides these, do you remember other relatively special things?"
The old lady thought about it carefully and then said: "There is one special thing I want to say."
"An innkeeper took advantage of us and tried to do something wrong to her. When he tore her clothes open, she strangled him to death with a ribbon."
"Normally, she wouldn't wake up at that time, but when she senses danger, she seems to wake up."
Tang Miaoxin reached out and pressed her eyebrows. The more she heard the old lady talk about these things, the more confused she became.
She asked the old lady carefully about the time when she met Su Ling'er, and she was sure that it was after Su Ling'er gave birth to her.
This can also explain the fundamental reason why Su Ling'er's whereabouts are unknown after leaving Dayan.
At that time, Su Linger's body must have been abnormal. Not only did she lose her memory, but other things also happened.
The old lady looked at Tang Miaoxin and said: "This matter has been pressing in my heart for many years, and I have always felt extremely sorry."
"Now that you have saved my life again, I owe us even more."
"I can use the entire Pingyuan Marquis Mansion to repay this kind of kindness."
Tang Miaoxin took a deep breath and said: "Although what you did to my mother was a bit repaying kindness with enmity, I am still very grateful to you for telling me this."
"My mother's whereabouts are unknown at the moment, and it's useless for me to have your Pingyuan Marquis Mansion."
"My husband and I will live in Zicheng for a while. If we encounter any trouble and there is anything you can do, please help us."
The old lady hit Pingyuan Hou with her cane: "Did you hear that? Your mother, I owe them two lives."
"As long as you still have some conscience, you should take the initiative to help them."
Marquis Pingyuan was beaten and was still a little depressed. The identities of Tang Miaoxin and Ning Guzhou were a big problem.
He is used to being a mere wallflower and is really not willing to express any position in front of others.
He stretched out his hand and scratched his head and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Seeing his attitude, the old lady gave him another crutch: "You have no sincerity in what you say!"
"What do you mean by listening to me? I'm an old man and I can't repay the favors I owe to others. Of course I have to pay them back to you!"
"So instead of listening to me, you should take the initiative to repay it. Your confused look is exactly the same as yours. It makes me so angry!"
Marquis Pingyuan could only say: "Yes, yes, I will take the initiative to cooperate with them. No matter what happens in the future, our Marquis Mansion owes them two lives!"
"I must sincerely find a way to give them two lives back!"
The old lady was still dissatisfied when she saw him like this, but she didn't beat him again.
She was a little tired after talking for so long, so Tang Miaoxin and Ning Guyzhou were ready to leave.
Pingyuan Hou personally sent them out. On the way, he smiled and said: "I will definitely find a way to repay the kindness you two have."
"I know that both of them are very powerful people. Whether it is the emperor, the left prime minister or the British prince, they all have a favor for them."
"I implore you two to calm down a little while in Zicheng and don't cause too big a deal."
"Pingyuan Marquis Mansion doesn't have much real power. It's no match for those big shots. If something happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you."
Tang Miaoxin just smiled when she heard this: "Qi Jianlan said that Marquis Pingyuan was a master of wall riding. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true."
It took a while for Marquis Pingyuan to understand the meaning of the word "riding on the wall", and they had already walked out of the Marquis' mansion.
He grinned lightly, feeling very complicated.
As far as the current situation in Zicheng is concerned, no matter who is in power, it will not have much impact on the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion. He really doesn't want to get involved in these things.
When he saw Chen Yuchen following him, he said, "Yuchen, stay away from them from now on."
After he finished speaking, he left. For the first time, Chen Yuchen felt that his father was a bit timid and did not agree with his actions.
After he experienced the palace change with Tang Miaoxin and Xiao Tiandou, he suddenly felt that his previous life was lackluster.
For the first time, he felt that besides weighing interests, there seemed to be other things people could do in life.
So if anything happens in the future and I don't help, he will take the blame.
After Tang Miaoxin and Ning Guzhou came back from Pingyuan Hou's Mansion, they told Su Letian what happened at Pingyuan Hou's Mansion today.
After Su Letian heard this, he immediately took out the map of Qi State and found that there was only one body of water in Lingzhou.
The water flows all the way east, passing through the state of Qi, passing through Fengqi, and then merges into the sea.
If Su Ling'er is still alive, she should be here.
Su Letian's eyes were deep: "Old Marquis Pingyuan is a scumbag. My aunt saved them, but they abandoned her."
"She was in such a state at that time. If she really encountered a serious danger, she would have no way to deal with it."
"It is simply impossible to find the boat that floated on the river 20 years ago based on these clues."
Tang Miaoxin said softly: "You are right, you may encounter other dangers along the way."
"But this clue is very important. It can at least prove that she left Dayan alive."
"We have been looking for her in Dayan before, and we have not looked for her in this area."
"After we have a purpose, as long as she is still alive, we will eventually find her. It is only a matter of time."
