Chapter 9 The Little Daughter of the Minister's Family
Ten years ago, the six-year-old Prince of Ningyuan got separated from his family when he went out to watch lanterns and was unfortunately abducted by a beagle.
Fortunately, he was smart and escaped when the criminals were not paying attention, but Paihuazi kept chasing him and he was caught several times.
Finally, when he was exhausted and about to despair, the side door of a house happened to open. He nimbly dodged and hid inside, and quickly bolted the door.
The human traffickers were not so rampant as to dare to break into other people's homes to rob people, so the Ningyuan Marquis's son escaped. After he breathed a sigh of relief, he realized that the person who opened the door and saved him was a girl younger than him.
Because it was a holiday, no one was watching the little girl. Somehow she walked to the side door and mischievously opened the bolt.
If he hadn't bumped into her just in time, she might have run away, and the outcome would have been unpredictable. For a moment, it was hard to tell who saved whom.
The little girl was cute and well-behaved, and due to this wonderful fate, the Prince of Ningyuan had a good impression of the little girl. After making sure that the human traffickers had left and it was safe outside, he gave her the jade pendant he had worn since childhood before leaving, and promised to marry her when she grew up.
At this point in the story, combined with Hu Lanniang's previous admission that she forcibly took the jade pendant from her sister, everyone will understand.
This little girl was Hu Jianiang when she was a child. However, because she was very young at that time, she quickly forgot the little brother whom she had only met once, and even could not remember the origin of the jade pendant.
No wonder their family, a small one like the Minister's Mansion, could marry the prince of the Marquis' Mansion. I thought it was just a stroke of luck before, but now I know there is such a connection between them.
Suddenly, everyone looked at Hu Lanniang with contempt: "Fourth Miss is really vicious. Not only did she rob her sister of her chance, she also plotted against her reputation and sent her into a state of no return."
"Not only that! I think she was the one who sent people to harm Xiaoliu, right? No wonder people say that women are the most poisonous. It's not enough to harm people like this, they have to let them die before they can feel at ease."
"I'll give you my word!" Hu Lanniang hurriedly defended herself, "I didn't hire anyone to kill her. I just wanted her to leave and never show up again...that's all..."
Under Chen Yuan's half-smile, her self-righteous words became weaker and weaker, and finally she avoided her sight guiltily. As a woman, she knew very well that being tortured in a nunnery was not necessarily better than death.
"The story is very interesting, but there are two points I don't quite understand." Shen Yuan was not as furious as she thought, but instead he keenly grasped the doubts.
"I don't even know about my connection with the Ningyuan Marquis' son. How did you know about it? And that jade pendant is so ordinary, how could it be a personal belonging of a marquis' son?"
"I...I met someone sent by the prince to inquire about the matter, and then I deliberately asked him questions." Hu Lanniang said vaguely, "As for the jade pendant, it is said that it was left by the prince's grandfather."
The latter point makes sense. The Ningyuan Marquisate has not been prosperous for long. His grandfather was just an ordinary citizen from a poor family. He joined the army later when the border was in turmoil. Because he was born with supernatural powers and made great contributions, he was promoted step by step.
As for the previous point... Chen Yuan saw the little girl's eyes flickering and knew that she was not telling the truth. He immediately exerted force on his feet and threatened and interrogated her again. He didn't expect that even after feeling the pain of dying several times, she still clenched her teeth.
Shen Yuan's interest was completely aroused. What kind of secret was it that she regarded as more important than her life?
Knowing that conventional methods would not work to pry her mouth open, he was about to use some extraordinary means when he was interrupted by a sudden loud shout.
"Stop it!" As soon as Hu's father entered the house, he saw the whole family huddled together in fear, and his eldest daughter was being tortured. He immediately flew into a rage, "Who dares to act wildly in my house?"
After all, they only saw each other a few times a year. Just by looking at her profile and the unfamiliar monk's robes she was wearing, he didn't recognize that the person who was trampling on his own daughter and committing violence was his other daughter who had just been abandoned by him.
When Hu's father saw that she had no intention of stopping when he came, he could not help but get angry. He ordered the yamen runners behind him with a cold face: "Go ahead, drag this evil monk away and beat him up!"
Chen Yuan turned his head, his dark eyes looked at him steadily, and raised the corners of his lips lightly: "It's only been a few days since we last met, and father doesn't even recognize his daughter?"
"You are...Jia Niang?" Father Hu was stunned for a moment before he recognized the person, his expression filled with surprise and doubt.
He had just finished court when he heard a servant report that some criminals had broken into the house and were fighting. He was anxious and ordered someone to report to the police while hurried back.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw the servants lying on the ground. There were only two servants around him. Fearing that the criminals were vicious, he did not dare to come in for a while. Fortunately, he hesitated for a while before the bailiffs arrived.
With the courage of a dozen people, he rushed in aggressively. Who could have guessed that the villain was actually the illegitimate daughter who had humiliated him not long ago.
Father Hu was shocked at first. Could it be that this rebellious girl was dissatisfied with his treatment of her and joined forces with outsiders to make trouble at home? When he looked around and saw no one else, he was immediately furious.
"Rebellious girl! What are you doing? Are you thinking of rebelling against the heavens?"
What an unfilial daughter! The stupid things she did before have already brought shame upon him, and now she has done such an evil thing again. The most important thing is that she accidentally reported it to the government office. Doesn’t this mean that the whole capital knows about it?
He thought that the scandal at home would soon be known to everyone, and his colleagues would definitely talk about him behind his back. As the Minister of Rites, he couldn't even manage his family. He thought that he would not let the scandal get to the emperor's ears and affect his career.
Mr. Hu felt a tightness in his chest and almost fainted.
"My Lords, this is my good-for-nothing third daughter. Because she made a big mistake a few days ago, I have expelled her from my home and crossed her name out of the family tree. She is no longer a member of the Hu family."
He soon thought of a way to deal with it, and tried his best to distance himself from the matter. "This woman came here today to retaliate. Please be fair and impartial, and punish her severely. My Hu family will not recognize such an unfilial daughter."
Just now he was ordering them around as if it was a matter of course, but in the blink of an eye, they had to be polite to each other. The yamen runners understood what the minister meant after just a glance.
The purpose was simply to silence them and pin the blame on the girl, insisting that she was "unfilial" and "expelled". Then, no matter how big a mistake she made, it would not implicate the Hu family.
They didn't care about his fawning attitude, as long as they gave them enough benefits afterwards.
