The melon-eating system, everyone listens to my voice

Shen Zhao: [Isn’t Zhou Qingqing an orphan?

Could it be that there is something else wrong with her background? 】

Guagua: [Yes, Zhou Qingqing is the youngest daughter of an official family.

Zhou Jia was the youngest daughter of the prefect of Jiangnan, and she had three older brothers.

At that time, a major corruption case occurred in Jiangnan.

The amount involved was as high as tens of millions of taels, which was several years' income of the national treasury.

Once this case fermented, the whole country was shocked.

This happened a few years after Emperor Yongning ascended the throne.

I heard that there are other forces involved and causing trouble.

The Queen Mother was very angry and sent many imperial envoys to investigate thoroughly!

It took three months, and in the end the prefect and his subordinate officials made the conviction.

Because their behavior was so evil, Emperor Yongning ordered that all these people's properties be confiscated.

At that time, Zhou Qingqing had just been born and was still a little baby who knew nothing.

Prefect Zhou was also a smart man and had received the news a moment ago.

Before the news of the little daughter's birth spread, Magistrate Zhou asked his loyal servant to take Zhou Qingqing away.

But the loyal servant was busy taking care of a small baby alone.

When I went out to look for food, I found that Zhou Qingqing was gone. 】

Shen Zhao asked, [Then, who took Zhou Qingqing away? ]

Gua Gua: [Zhou Qingqing was picked up by a kitchen servant.

She was a fire-making maid, who was old, probably around forty years old.

She never married and had no children in her life, and just worked as a fire-making maid in that mansion.

The servant's surname was Zhou, and he named the baby he picked up Qingqing.

In this way, Zhou Qingqing grew up in the mansion until she was five or six years old.

Originally, the servants treated her as their own daughter and took good care of her.

But she was involved in a dispute over a concubine's miscarriage, and the eldest lady pushed her out to take the blame.

A life was lost just like that!

They were not so cruel as to take the life of a child.

Just drive her away and leave her to fend for herself.

Zhou Qingqing became a little beggar until she was picked up by Xu Yingyan. 】

Shen Zhao: [Zhou Qingqing's life story is pitiful, but what does this have to do with her betraying Xu Yingyan and joining Xu Yingze? ]

Gua Gua: [Host, please listen to my explanation.

Zhou Qingqing is of the Zhou family's bloodline, but no one has ever told her about the Zhou family.

Some of her memories are also with Nanny Zhou, but she has no impression of most of them.

It was during this period of begging that Zhou Qingqing ate something bad and became mute.

Xu Yingyan took her back and asked someone to teach her calligraphy.

She is also able to communicate with others, either through gestures or writing.

Xu Yingze recognized her and asked her if she had a ruby ​​birthmark on her body.

Zhou Qingqing didn't expect that this person could communicate with her smoothly without writing.

I never expected that he actually knew the birthmark on my body, which was in such a private place like my waist.

Logically speaking, she doesn't know the other person at all! 】

Shen Zhao suddenly had a guess.

[Gua Gua, could it be that the person who saved Zhou Qingqing was Xu Yingze?

Perhaps Xu Yingyan saw something in her and wanted to take her away from Xu Yingze.

This also explains why Xu Yingze recognized her and knew this secret. 】

Everyone nodded. When he was young, Marquis Mingyuan was well-known for his integrity and kindness.

Many of his confidants were picked up from outside.

Since he was loyal to Marquis Mingyuan, he became his right-hand man.

Of course, that heartless servant doesn't count.

But the truth was beyond everyone's expectations.

Guagua: [No, host,

The person Xu Yingze recognized was Zhou Qingqing, the young lady of the Zhou family!

This red jade birthmark is a symbol that only the direct descendants of the Zhou family have. 】

Shen Zhao: [Ah, who did Xu Yingze meet before? ]

Gua Gua: [Xu Yingze met Zhou Qingqing’s third brother, Zhou Zhongzheng.

Zhou Zhong was a good friend he met when he went to work in the office.

The two met by chance at first, but later they developed a deep friendship.

Zhou Zhongzheng has been looking for evidence to exonerate the Zhou family over the years.

When the Zhou family was ordered to be executed, he was only five years old!

But he was already old enough to remember things, and he dared not forget anything that happened to the Zhou family.

Xu Yingze is a popular figure around Emperor Yongning.

Not only because the two of them had a very good relationship, but more importantly, Xu Yingze gave him hope for the Zhou family's redress! 】

Shen Zhao was confused and urged,

[Okay, Guagua, just finish your story in one breath.]

Guagua: [Zhou Zhongzheng, the third son of the Zhou family, is also to be executed.

But the wet nurse who took care of Zhou Zhongzheng at that time also had a five-year-old son.

The child is young and people won’t pay special attention to his appearance.

The wet nurse reluctantly exchanged her son for Zhou Zhongzheng and took Zhou Zhongzheng home to raise.

Therefore, Zhou Zhongzheng grew up smoothly.

Host, you must be asking why the nanny does this? 】

Shen Zhao nodded. No matter how close the wet nurse was to the master's family, could she surpass her own son?

Besides, the Zhou family was in a difficult situation at the time and could no longer provide any protection to the wet nurse's family.

Gua Gua: [Because the wet nurse was rescued by Madam Zhou herself.

At that time, the wet nurse's husband was gambling and wanted to sell her to Chunfenglou.

Some guests have this special habit.

The wet nurse had just finished her confinement and had a child tied to her back. She held onto her husband's trouser legs tightly and cried so sadly that she almost fainted.

Mrs. Zhou just gave birth to her third son three months ago, and she has a kind heart.

The child was crying loudly and the nurse was crying so hard that her body was shaking.

Mrs. Zhou rescued the mother and son, and later the wet nurse successfully entered the Zhou mansion and became Zhou Zhongzheng's wet nurse.

In the nurse's mind, without Madam Zhou, there would be no her, and it would be difficult for her child to grow up smoothly.

She didn't think the Zhou family could commit such a serious crime, but her words didn't count.

She often went to the opera with Mrs. Zhou, and she understood that only if the son of the Zhou family stayed in the world could the Zhou family's innocence be cleared. 】

Shen Zhao sighed,

[The wet nurse was grateful and valued this kindness more than the lives of the mother and child.

The thing that Madam Zhou regrets least in her life is probably saving the wet nurse and her son! 】

Gua Gua: [Later, the wet nurse raised Zhou Zhongzheng, sent him to school, hired someone to teach him martial arts, and he grew up to be a handsome young man who was both civil and military.

The wet nurse could finally feel at ease to go look for the Zhou family and her son.

She wants to apologize to her son. She is an incompetent mother! 】

Hearing this, Shen Zhao's eyes turned red with tears. She sobbed and said,

[Woo woo, melon.]

I wish the nanny can really get what she wants, and I also hope that they can have a happy life! 】
