The old woman saw Nie Xun's unhappy expression and knew that she had said something wrong, so she quickly tried to remedy it.
"I still remember one thing," she said hurriedly, "there was a red mole on the inside of your right thigh."
After the old woman said this, Nie Xun's expression changed slightly.
Other than his servants and his wife, no one else knew about his unique features, not to mention his inner thighs.
Nie Xun had a feeling that maybe he could find the answer to the mystery that had puzzled him for many years from the old woman.
The old woman cried, "Second Langjun, I really didn't lie to you. Every word is true."
Nie Xun suppressed his emotions, "Other than that?"
The old woman choked. She thought she had said something wrong, so she said in a trembling voice, "Other than that, you look like Madame Zhen. When I saw you just now, I thought I saw the newly married Madame Zhen. What a beautiful person. Unfortunately, a beautiful woman has a short life. "
Nie Xun didn't know what expression to show.
He knew that he was very beautiful, and he could outshine all the other beauties with just a little makeup, but he didn't like people talking about his appearance.
His appearance was not as pure and unparalleled as Wei Ci's. Instead, he had an oppressive beauty.
Because of his outstanding appearance, Nie Xun was often bullied as a girl by the Nie family when he was a child.
Nie Xun still remembered the embarrassment and humiliation of being surrounded by people against the wall and being forced to take off his pants to prove that he was a man.
"Are you serious?"
The old woman said, "Of course. Madame Zhen was very beautiful. It's hard to forget her."
"You said that a beautiful woman has a short life. Did she die early?"
Nie Xun didn't dare to ask for specific information. He always felt flustered, so he only dared to ask for some trivial information.
The old woman shook her head like a rattle drum. She said, "Madame Zhen is alive and well now."
Nie Xun heard this and felt a little bad.
His parents' family was not bad. Why did they abandon him?
Nie Xun took a deep breath, "Tell me everything you know."
The old woman nodded, but hesitated before she spoke.
"Second Langjun, if I tell you, can you give me some money and food? My family's life is difficult … "
If it weren't for the fact that they were too poor, the old woman wouldn't have come to Nie Xun to try her luck. She wasn't sure if Nie Xun was the baby boy from back then.
After all, she was the one who had buried the baby boy into the ground. Who knew that he was still alive!
When she mentioned the red mole on her thigh, the man's expression changed drastically. It seemed like they were the same person.
Nie Xun frowned deeply and waved his hand to signal his servant to bring a plate of silver to the old woman. There were twenty ingots!
The old woman's hands trembled as she stroked the silver. She was so happy that she didn't hesitate to speak.
"Second Langjun, what do you want to know? I will tell you everything I can."
The old woman suppressed her excitement, and the wrinkles on her face squeezed together with a smile.
Nie Xun asked, "Who are my parents? Why did they abandon me? "
The old woman was stunned for a moment. She sighed and said, "Second Langjun, you were not abandoned."
Nie Xun was startled.
Not abandoned?
The old woman nagged, "This old servant was Madam Zhen's dowry maid, and later married a manservant. Madam Lie gave birth to Eldest Langjun, but she couldn't win back the master's heart. Instead, she was suppressed by the master's favorite concubine. Later, Madam Zhen and the concubine got pregnant at the same time. Even so, the master still didn't look at Madam Zhen. Madam Lie risked a difficult labor and gave birth to you for a day and a night. That concubine also gave birth to a son. The master favored the concubine and neglected the wife. He couldn't bear that the concubine's son was treated as a concubine's son, so he simply swapped you two. "
Nie Xun felt like he was listening to a heavenly book.
He was so angry that he laughed, "Which family has such a strange upbringing? Mixing the legal son and the concubine, and pretending to be the legal son?"
When Nie Xun heard the truth, he began to doubt whether his ears were playing tricks on him. How could there be such a ridiculous thing?
The old woman saw that Nie Xun was angry, and she hurriedly said, "This is absolutely true, but … but according to the rumor, it seems that Madam Lie was not content with her marriage, and secretly had an affair with a servant and gave birth to you. Outsiders said so, but this old servant dares to curse that Madam Lie is innocent and has never done anything wrong to the master. It must be the master's concubine who made it up and slandered Madam Zhen's innocence … "
Nie Xun quickly calmed down, and his expression didn't change.
"I have a question …"
The old woman didn't know that danger was coming. Instead, she wore a flattering smile, "Second Langjun, please ask."
Nie Xun said, "You should be the concubine's servant, right?"
The old woman was so scared that her face turned ashen, and her legs were trembling, "This, this …"
Nie Xun said indifferently, "Mixing the legal son and the concubine's son is such a big thing. There should be very few people who know about it. Not only do you know about it, but you even claim to be my wet nurse. It can be seen that you must have taken care of me in the past, so you know that I have a red mole on my leg. In that case, I have another question. How did I leave the mansion and end up being sold? "
The old woman opened her eyes wide in astonishment. She was so scared that she retreated on her knees. She didn't even dare to look at the plate of silver.
"I, I … Second Langjun, I …"
Nie Xun got up from the table, raised his hand, and pulled out the sword at his waist. The tip of the sword was against the old woman's throat.
"Tell me the truth."
The old woman cried and said, "Every word I said is true. The concubine saw that you looked too much like Lady Qiang. She was afraid that you would arouse Lady Qiang's suspicion during the elders' meeting, so she asked me to send you out of the mansion. She even … even ordered me to bury you …"
Hearing the word "bury", Nie Xun was basically sure that the old woman was telling the truth.
Nie Xun followed the clues to Dongqing and asked many people.
The first person who found Nie Xun was a farmer's wife. She accidentally heard crying in the ground, so she dug out the dying Nie Xun from the soil. The farmer's wife didn't take care of him. Instead, she sold him to a human trafficker. Because Nie Xun was good-looking, he was more expensive than a normal baby boy.
After a few twists and turns, Nie Xun ended up in Zhongzhao. Coincidentally, he was adopted by a side branch of the Nie family.
Nie Xun asked the old woman in a low voice.
"Tell me, who are my birth parents?"
Although Nie Xun came to find his birth parents, he didn't have much feelings for them. He just wanted to find his roots.
If his birth parents lost him because they had no other choice, Nie Xun could consider helping them.
If his birth parents abandoned him on purpose, he would make them regret it!
Nie Xun didn't want to acknowledge anything, not to mention giving birth.
In his opinion, the essence of giving birth was just one sentence: when a man and a woman get together, they have children.
The mother was pregnant for ten months, and the father was just a night of pleasure.
They had the right to give birth to him, but they didn't have the right to take his life.
The old woman looked at Nie Xun's gloomy face, and her heart couldn't help but tremble. She said with a trembling voice, "Second Langjun's birth father is the leader of the Meng family in Cangzhou. His surname is Meng, and his name is Zhan. His birth mother is the daughter of a concubine from the Gu family in Langya. Her name is Gu Zhen. She has now remarried to Liu She, the second legitimate son of the Liu family in Hejian. I heard that Liu She is quite famous now. Second Langjun. I'm telling the truth. "
Nie Xun was speechless.
"Say it again. I didn't hear it clearly."
The old woman closed her eyes and looked like she was facing death calmly. She repeated it intermittently.
Nie Xun was so shocked that he took a few steps back. The sword in his hand fell to the ground.
