I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

Mrs. Li knelt on the ground and did not dare to look Xie Jingrui in the eye.

On the way back, the secret guards had already analyzed Mrs. Li's situation in detail to her. If she told her, she would die, and if she didn't tell her, she would also die.

After Zhao Wanyan sent herself back to the countryside, she had been secretly sending people to keep an eye on her, presumably in order to kill her and silence her after avoiding the spotlight.

I heard from the secret guards that there were two groups of people chasing me outside. There was no doubt that they were sent by Zhao Wanyan. She had a vicious mind and if I fell into her hands, there would be no chance of survival.

The man in front of her was extremely powerful, and she would be caught even if she ran to the ends of the earth.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Pozi cautiously said to Xie Jingrui, "My lord, if I tell you about this, can you keep me on duty in the palace and give me some food?"

Xie Jingrui had not expected the other party to make such a condition. After thinking for a while, he agreed: "The palace doesn't need you to eat for free, but if you tell even the slightest lie, I can kill you at any time."

Mrs. Li was so frightened that she kowtowed repeatedly: "I swear to heaven that this will never be false."

Xie Jingrui signaled the secret guards to stand guard outside the door.

He cast a stern look at Mrs. Li.

Granny Li understood and slowly said, "When Aunt Zhao found us, the princess was already pregnant, but the timing of her pregnancy was a little wrong. According to the time calculation, the young master should have given birth in October, but the princess gave birth to the young master around July."

"Moreover, the princess used something to wrap her belly tightly every day to prevent outsiders from seeing that she was pregnant. According to the timeline, the princess should have been pregnant in October of the year before the birth. I guess that Aunt Zhao hid the princess' pregnancy from the beginning for the princess' good reputation."

Granny Li looked up at Xie Jingrui's normal face before she dared to continue, "The princess fell on the day of delivery. It's strange to say. Usually, the princess is carefully taken care of, but she fell that day and hit her stomach, which caused the princess to give birth prematurely."

"You said she did this on purpose?" Xie Jingrui asked with his expression still calm.

Mrs. Li lowered her head and whispered, "Yes, the princess fell down not long after she sent us away that day. On normal days, the princess would never get up and walk on her own without our support."

"But she walked to the steps by herself in the rain that day. When we heard the noise and went to check, the princess had already landed on her stomach and was rolling on the ground in pain. She had a miscarriage and the baby was born prematurely."

"We were all very scared that day. We didn't think much about it and hurriedly carried the princess back to her room to ask for a midwife."

As Mrs. Li spoke, her face suddenly turned pale.

Seeing that she looked strange, Xie Jingrui frowned and asked, "And then?"

After calming herself down, Mrs. Li continued, "It was dark that night, and we were so busy that I vaguely seemed to see Aunt Zhao sneaking back from outside with a basket, and I saw the child in the basket."

Xie Jingrui's eyes changed, and Mrs. Li was a little scared and dared to continue talking.

After a while, Xie Jingrui suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and said calmly: "Is the baby born?"

"She gave birth, but..." Mrs. Li didn't dare to continue.

"Just what?" Xie Jingrui asked with his eyes gradually turning cold.

Mrs. Li recalled the day when she heard the baby crying and the midwife was asked to leave. She wanted to push the door open to check.

But just as she reached the door, she heard Liu Yunni's weak voice saying to Zhao Wanyan: "Mom, this child will only cause trouble in the future if we keep him. It's better to strangle him to death, so that he won't fall into the hands of others and become a handle to control me!"

Zhao Wanyan looked at the baby and felt sorry for him. She reminded him carefully, "I will place him in the countryside and have him taken good care of. No one else will know about it."

At that time!

Liu Yunni snatched the child from Zhao Wanyan's arms like a madman.

He threw the child to the ground, and the child stopped crying with a scream.

Whenever Mrs. Li thought of this scene, she felt guilty, and the fear instantly swept through her whole body from her feet.

Zhao Wanyan was obviously frightened by Liu Yunni's action again. She picked up the child from the ground with trembling hands, but the child was already dead.

Then he picked up the basket and took out a premature baby from it.

"What happened next?" Xie Jingrui asked as he looked at Mrs. Li's increasingly paler face.

Only then did Mrs. Li come back to her senses from her fright.

She kowtowed and said, "My Lord, I saw with my own eyes that the princess threw the child to death..."

When Xie Jingrui heard this, he suddenly stood up from the stool.

The stool was knocked over when he stood up.

There was a loud "bang!"

Li Pozi was so frightened that she crawled on the ground and trembled, begging for mercy: "My lord, this has nothing to do with me. I am only responsible for taking care of your food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Those are all done by your lord and Aunt Zhao."

Xie Jingrui's face was filled with anger: "You mean the current prince was brought back from outside by them secretly, and the child born by the princess is not my child? But Hua Ge'er is indeed my own child."

Mrs. Li nodded repeatedly: "This is all I know. I have no idea where the child was brought from."

"Go down." Xie Jingrui waved his hand and asked someone to take Mrs. Li to another courtyard and settle her down.

Xie Jingrui's follower Jiang Lin lifted up Xie Jingrui's stool with a serious expression.

Jiang Lin asked quietly, "Your Majesty, do you want to check the identity of the prince again?"

Xie Jingrui said in a very cold voice: "Go and find all the women who gave birth in Kyoto during those few days, especially those who gave birth prematurely."

Jiang Lin felt the aura around him suddenly turn cold, and he served Xie Jingrui more carefully: "Princess, what are you going to do?"

Xie Jingrui pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

But Jiang Lin had followed Xie Jingrui since he was a child and naturally knew his temper. The angrier Xie Jingrui was, the calmer the expression on Xie Jingrui's face became, just like when he was preparing to take Xie Wenhua and the princess back to Prince Jin's Mansion.

Xie Jingrui got up and left the study and came to Liu Yunni's courtyard.

He stared at the flickering candlelight in the yard for a long time before he walked in.

Liu Yunni had already washed up and was ready to go to bed when she saw the person coming.

There was a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes, and she bowed carefully to Xie Jingrui: "Your Majesty, what are you doing..."

Liu Yunni hadn't finished speaking yet.

Xie Jingrui raised one hand and grabbed Liu Yunni's neck, and asked with a look of anger: "Who is the father of Hua Ge'er?"

After hearing this, Liu Yunni's face changed drastically and she bit her lip without saying anything.

Xie Jingrui's hands became even stronger.

Liu Yunni shook her head and struggled desperately, making an "uh..." sound from her mouth. Her beautiful eyes were filled with fear as she looked at the man in front of her with tears in her eyes.
