Green tea was read, the villain's family begged me to be happy

As soon as Marquis Zhongyi returned home, he was invited to Shoukang Garden. He did not look like a debt collector as before. It must be that Cen had something important to tell him at this time.

"You went to the Wei family today, but what happened?" He went straight to the point.

"Xiao Si has been found." Mrs. Cen said with a slightly excited tone.

In fact, she was still a little dazed at this moment, and she actually found it.

Ever since she learned that Jiang Chengyi, who had been raised in the Marquis' Mansion for fifteen years, was a fake, she had never slept well. She went to Qingxi Pavilion with great difficulty, hoping that the artifact would tell her where the real young master was, but she was never successful.

After going around in circles, I didn't expect that my own son would be so close to me.

"Which one—" Marquis Zhongyi was about to ask, but suddenly realized who Cen was talking about, and was shocked: "Who was it? Who did you meet at the Wei family banquet?"

"It's Wei Sheng."

"Wei Sheng? Are you sure? How could it be him?" Marquis Zhongyi frowned, trying hard to recall what Wei Sheng looked like, but he seldom went to the Wei family. After all, he had nothing to say to Wei Xian, so he avoided them whenever possible.

"It was him. The artifact said it himself, so it can't be wrong. The cousins ​​were born on the same day, only a few hours apart. Also, at the time, Cen Jie and I lived together in Fajue Temple. The mountain was blocked by heavy snow and we couldn't go down the mountain at all. I didn't expect it to be activated."

Ever since she found out that her baby was switched, Cen has been recalling the birth scene, and many vague memories have gradually come to her mind.

Cen pushed a note over and said, "This is a note from Qingxi Pavilion. The third daughter-in-law directly said that someone threw it into her yard. She couldn't find out who it was and didn't dare to look at it. She just gave it to me to decide."

When the Marquis of Loyalty opened the note, he saw two lines of words written on it: A pair of fire phoenixes flew into the Marquis's mansion. The phoenix is ​​real, and the phoenix is ​​fake. The real phoenix is ​​Wei Jialang, and the cousins ​​can't tell them apart.

He looked at it for a long time, then held the note up to the oil lamp, his eyes narrowed.

When Cen saw him like this, she immediately rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Can't you read? Why are you reading for so long?"

"Tsk, of course I can read, but what does the words on this note mean?"

"I say you are illiterate and you just don't believe it. A pair of fire phoenixes flew into the Marquis' Mansion, which means I gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The phoenix is ​​male and the girl is female, which means the girl is of the Jiang family's bloodline, and the boy is fake. You can understand the latter part, right?" Cen explained again in a rough tone.

The Loyal Marquis coughed lightly and burned the note directly on the candle flame. "I understood both sentences, but I was a little slow to react. This third son's wife is really something. She is not a talented woman. Can't she write more directly? She has to use all these roundabout ways."

"She wanted to pretend to be an expert. An expert would naturally talk a lot of nonsense, unlike you. Let's not talk about that and get back to the point. After the child was born, she never left the room, and there were countless maids watching. How could she switch the baby in front of everyone? I really can't figure it out."

"It doesn't matter. If you can't remember clearly, just check. There were so many people present at the time, there must be someone who remembers it clearly." Marquis Zhongyi said coldly.

Mrs. Cen was a newly-wed woman, and she was exhausted after giving birth to the twins, so she had no energy to take care of the children and could only rely on the people around her to serve her.

As for Marquis Zhongyi, he was in his mansion at the time, and the heavy snow blocked the mountain, so news could not be transmitted. He didn't even know that Cen had given birth at that time.

"All the servants who served me in Fajue Temple at that time, as long as they are still alive, have been asked to come back and are waiting for the return of the Marquis. I will interrogate them first. If they refuse to confess, you can torture them." Cen obviously also had this plan and had made all the preparations.

In fact, ever since they learned that the children had been swapped, Cen and Marquis Zhongyi have been investigating.

However, because they didn't know where the real young master was, they were afraid of alerting the enemy and causing the man to kill him without any evidence, so the people they sent out were very careful in their investigation.

Every servant who served in Fajue Temple at that time was being watched during these days.

They reported every detail, including where they went, who they met, and what they did.

But nothing was found. These people acted normal, as if the child swap was just an illusion.

Until today, when they finally found out who the real young master was, Cen immediately had them all captured without any scruples.

The couple looked at each other and nodded.

***

In Shoukang Garden, several old men and women were kneeling on the ground. They were now well-known managers or wives of shopkeepers, but when they were in front of Cen, they still had to kneel if they made a mistake.

"I'll ask you again, fifteen years ago, on the night when I gave birth to Yi Ge'er and Yu Jie'er in Fajue Temple, did anyone have evil thoughts and committed a heinous crime?" Cen Ying asked coldly, sitting on a chair.

Her voice was not very loud, about the same volume as usual, but the cold aura that came over her instantly made everyone in the group shiver.

Cen had been the marquis' wife for so many years, holding a high position and in charge of the household affairs. She was usually rather cold in temperament, but now that she had assertiveness, she was even more powerful and imposing, making it difficult for people to resist.

"To answer Madam Hou's question, no, I was just a gatekeeper and errand boy at the time. I couldn't even get into the inner room, and I didn't see the Fourth Master and the eldest daughter at the time."

"I am the same. I am just a servant, sweeping outside. I only heard the child crying, and I don't know anything else."

"I was a second-class maid at the time. I just watched from the sidelines and had no chance to meet the Fourth Master and the eldest lady."

"Yes, the only people who can hold the Fourth Master and the eldest daughter are Sister Caihua and Sister Suyi, besides the midwife."

"Yes, these two were the maids serving the Marquis's wife at the time. Only the two of them could hug the Fourth Master and the eldest daughter. No one else dared to touch them."

Although the old ladies were very frightened, they still explained the situation one by one.

Cen asked several more times but still didn't get an answer. She waved her hand and immediately a group of guards came in.

"This is your last chance to confess. If you tell the truth now, I can spare your lives." Cen pressed again.

Looking at the row of solemn guards, these old women could not help but tremble in fear, crying and begging for mercy, but they still could not give out any useful clues.

"Drag them away." With Cen's order, all the old men and women were gagged and taken away directly.

The only people left in the outer room were Cen and Nanny Liu who was standing beside her.

Cen Ying raised her head and looked at Aunt Liu, who fell to her knees.

"Madam, the midwife handed the eldest girl and the fourth master to me and Su Yi. Although there were only the two of us holding the young masters, there were many maids watching us whether we were helping them wash their bodies or changing their clothes. With so many eyes watching us, we couldn't do anything at all."

"Sister Suyi has unfortunately passed away, but there are still several old ladies alive. They all witnessed our actions with their own eyes." Madam Liu said anxiously.

Cen Ying picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said, "You won't tell the truth?"

Madam Liu was shocked. When she raised her head, her eyes were red. "Every word I said is true. Please understand. Please tell me what happened today. Maybe it will stimulate those old guys and remind them of something."

Cen Ying didn't say anything. She wouldn't say a word until she found out who the murderer who swapped the child was.

Even Aunt Liu, whom she trusted the most, was not exempted, to avoid unnecessary trouble.
