Chapter 28 Red Mole
Xu Yongyi stepped aside, and Aunt Ruan and Aunt Li walked in.
Xie pulled Xu Xue and stood in front of the two of them.
"This..." Grandma Li looked at the mother and daughter, and was speechless for a long time.
If Xu Xue is similar to Wei, there is no comparison. Now that mother and daughter Xie and Xu Xue are standing together, they are so similar between their eyebrows that no one can tell that they are not mother and daughter.
It seems that the second lady really made a mistake.
Only then did Grandma Li turn her attention to Xu Xi.
When Xu Xi and Xu Xue appeared at the same time in the morning, Grandma Li had the same idea as Mrs. Wei, thinking that Xu Xue was the daughter of Mrs. Wei, because Xu Xi was so unlike Mrs. Wei. Not only did she not look like Wei, but she also didn't look like Zhao Yuanliang.
.So once the Wei family recognized Xu Xue, no one paid attention to Xu Xi anymore.
Even if she now looks at Xu Xi with the idea that "Xu Xi must be the daughter of the Wei family", Grandma Li has to admit that there is really nothing about this child that is similar to Zhao Yuanliang and the Wei family.
Is this really Wei's daughter? Could it be a mistake?
When Nanny Ruan met Xu Xi for the first time, she never thought that this was not the wrong child in the Hou family. Now that the Wei family was making such a fuss, she looked at the two of them with a critical eye again, and had to admit that
The reason why Mrs. Wei decided that Xu Xue was her daughter was indeed somewhat reasonable.
She also had the same doubts as Grandma Li.
Xu Xi also knew what the two of them were thinking, so he stood there openly and allowed the two of them to look at him.
At the end, she said with a smile: "Do you think I don't look like the second master and second lady of your house? I think so too. So you'd better find out and don't force me to go back when the time comes.
Kick me out; maybe you have been suspicious all day long, thinking that I am not a child of the Hou Mansion, but look at me as if I took the initiative to go to the Hou Mansion and asked to be this young lady. I tell you, when the time comes, I will have to go to the Yamen to beat drums and cry out for injustice.
No, it’s not up to you to do whatever you want.”
These words made both Aunt Ruan and Aunt Li look very unhappy.
Aunt Ruan is the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion; Aunt Li is also a sidekick in the second room and is the wet nurse of the Wei family. The young masters and ladies of the Hou Mansion do not dare to be disrespectful to them. The two of them are used to being flattered, so they are very angry.
The son is very tall.
But the little peasant girl in front of her didn't show any respect to them, and she didn't seem to take the Hou Mansion seriously in her words. She was like a rural shrew, always threatening and making trouble.
In the opinion of the two nuns, a person like this should be slapped in the face, spit in the face, and then turn around and leave. See if she still thinks of herself as an onion!
But no!
The whole capital knows that the biological daughter of the second wife of the Hou Mansion was exchanged by the wet nurse, and that girl is now in Xiaorong Village. If they don't take her back, the Hou Mansion will not be able to come to Taiwan at all.
Nanny Ruan's expression changed several times, and then she forced out a stiff smile and said, "I will report what you said to the old lady, and she will listen."
Xu Xi nodded, looked at Mr. Xie, raised his chin, and said: It's your turn.
Mrs. Xie has a cheerful and fierce temper, and she has nothing to ask of the Hou Mansion. Seeing that Xu Xi dared to say harsh words to the two of them, she naturally couldn't give in.
She smiled and gave Xu Xi a look, turned to look at Aunt Li, and said coldly with a stern face: "Have you seen clearly what Sister Xue and I look like? Sister Xue is a piece of flesh that I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. Who can
Don't even think about taking it away from me. If the Hou Mansion dares to force it, this place is not far from the capital, and I am not afraid to beat the drum and complain for the sake of my daughter. So when you go back, grandma, please tell the second lady to keep your eyes open.
Take a good look and don't even mistake your biological daughter."
As she said this, she took Xu Xue's hand and turned back to the main room.
Xu Xi followed through the door.
"You two, please go back." Xu Yongyi made a gesture.
Aunt Ruan and Aunt Li looked at each other and walked out of the courtyard.
After getting on the carriage, Mother Li wanted to complain about Xu Xi, but she thought that this was the girl from their second wife, Wei's biological daughter. She said bad things about Xu Xi in front of Aunt Ruan, which would not do any good to her second wife.
Swallowed back the resentment in my heart.
Grandma Ruan always looked calm, and she could not tell whether she was happy, angry or sad.
When the carriage entered the capital, Aunt Li did not dare to follow Aunt Ruan to the old lady's house. On the way, she made an excuse that she was ordered by the Wei family to go back to the Wei Mansion to get something. Aunt Ruan did not stop the carriage and asked her to stop.
Got out of the car.
Even though Xiaorong Village was not far from the capital, it was already dinner time when they returned to the Hou Mansion.
Madam Hou had just finished dinner, and Mrs. Hou Mrs. Zhu was also present. Aunt Ruan told her everything about today. She also conveyed what Xu Xi said word for word.
Madam Hou looked at her eldest daughter-in-law: "What do you think of this child?"
Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "My daughter-in-law said the same thing. This child didn't pounce on me as soon as she saw the Marquis coming to pick her up. Now that she has said such words, it can be seen that she is someone who does not admire the powerful and has a calculated heart, and has a straightforward temper."
Although we haven’t met him yet, I quite like this kid.”
Mrs. Hou smiled: "But some people don't like it and insist on saying that he is not his biological child."
Butler Liu went to Fuyin Yamen, which was closer than to Xiaorong Village, and he had already returned.
They re-examined the wet nurse, but the wet nurse provided two clues. She said that there was nothing else about the child except a small red mole behind the ear. The wet nurse also said that the child she replaced was a nanny from Wei's side.
It was her grandma who instigated her. The man gave her two hundred taels of silver, helped with the manipulation, and even threatened her with her son, so she committed such a heinous crime. Otherwise, no matter how bold she was, she would not dare to do it.
When Butler Liu came back to report the news, Mrs. Hou frowned tightly.
The nanny that the nanny pulled out was drugged with mute medicine and sold out for stealing Wei's jewelry not long after she left the house. A few days after she was sold out, the nanny didn't wait for her to take action again.
, news of her death came, saying that she died of illness.
It is no longer possible to find out what happened back then from this nanny. Fortunately, we have clues about the red mole. We only need to send someone to see if there is a red mole behind Xu Xi’s ear. We will know if we can successfully pick up the person.
When I come back, it doesn't matter if I can't find out what happened back then.
Moreover, didn't Xu Xi need a voucher? With this voucher, she had no reason not to return to the Hou Mansion.
Mrs. Hou told Nanny Ruan the news that Housekeeper Liu had received, and said: "You have been tired from running around all day. Go back and rest. You will have to go to Xiaorong Village again tomorrow to take care of you.
Xu Xi’s identity has been confirmed again.”
Madam Zhu said from the side: "I'm sure she has a red mole behind her ear. Tell her that I will personally pick her up the day after tomorrow."
Aunt Ruan responded respectfully, and then said with a smile: "With Madam going to pick her up in person, Miss Xi doesn't have to worry about coming."
