I'll tell you the secret and let's laugh together!

Chapter 269 The Midwife’s Conspiracy (1)

Sun Huaishan grabbed Ning Yuanzhi's hand and said with difficulty: "Brother Ning, please stop talking for now, okay?"

"Well, let's let the Shangshu take a break first."

The man couldn't hold on any longer, so the wife of the Minister of Revenue began to exert her strength, pretending that nothing had happened and saying, "Mr. Ning is really a joker. Rui'er is a child that my master and I have watched grow up since he was born. How could he not be our son?"

"Are you kids playing some kind of prank?" Wang Xiaomei attributed the incident to a prank. For people with childlike natures, once they are misunderstood, they will find ways to prove their point. This is the experience she has accumulated from raising two sons.

"It's not a prank. Wang Anrui is really not your son. We are not saying this to pick a fight. It's because Wang Anrui hired someone to break my fourth brother's hands and feet, but my wise and brave brother saw through the plot. Then we discovered this big secret by accident."

Upon hearing that her son had done something wrong again, the wife of the Minister of Revenue became angry and anxious, and bowed to Ning Zhiyi and Ning Yuanzhi.

"Ms. Ning, Mr. Ning, An Rui did something wrong. It was because we, as his parents, failed to discipline him. I apologize to you on his behalf. You can punish him as you wish. We will not argue!"

She pinched her palm hard, the pain made the wife of the Minister of Revenue's mind clearer, "But An Rui was born by me, and my master and I watched him grow up since birth, how could he not be my son!"

She mentioned twice that she wanted to hear Ning Zhiyi's inner thoughts on this issue since birth. Was it because the midwife made a mistake when the baby was born?

The four ministers of the Ministry of Revenue held their breath, afraid of missing a single word.

"The midwife took the wrong baby, and she did it on purpose." Ning Yuanzhi replied.

The housekeeper of the palace brought another group of people in. Wang Anrui's hair was wet, as if he had just taken a shower. The sweat from the severe pain soaked his clothes. He lay on the ground unconscious.

Seeing her son in such a miserable state, the wife of the Minister of Revenue had tears in her eyes and was about to rush forward to check, but was stopped by the Minister of Revenue.

The driver brought over a gray-haired midwife.

Ning Yuanzhi: "This is the midwife back then. She said that because all newborns look alike, she couldn't tell which was which when she changed their swaddling clothes. But she didn't dare to make it public, so she just wrapped the baby up as if nothing had happened."

"Master and Madam, please forgive me. I didn't mean to do this. It's just that the two newborn babies look too much alike. I thought you were close and both children were your blood, so I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."

"It's all my fault. I'm willing to die to atone for my crime!"

I don’t know where such an elderly woman got the strength from, but she pushed away the person blocking her and slammed into the pillar with all her strength.

Ning Yuanzhi was stunned. That wasn't right. Didn't she say at the beginning that the child was replaced at the instigation of the Minister of Revenue's sister? Why did she change her words so quickly? There must be something else going on!

"She's lying, Zhiyi, stop her!"

Ning Zhiyi pulled back her hand, grasped the midwife's collar tightly, and pulled her back.

"Why are you so eager to die? Is there something you haven't told me yet?"

The wife of the Minister of Revenue and Wang Xiaomei were shocked by the midwife's sudden attempt to commit suicide. They did not come to their senses until Ning Zhiyi pulled her back. Then they surrounded the midwife.

Wang Xiaomei: "Tell me, which of the two kids is which?"

The wife of the Minister of Revenue had red eyes and her nails had dug into the midwife's flesh. "You have been a midwife for so many years, how could you have made a mistake in the baby? This is absolutely impossible. If you dare to hide anything, I will not let your family go!"

Ning Yuanzhi clearly saw a flash of disapproval in the midwife's eyes, as well as her calmness in facing death, as if death was the best arrangement for her.

"Why did your testimony change? At first you told me that you were ordered by Madam Sun to switch the baby. You said that Madam Sun didn't like my brother and his wife, and she coveted the family business of the palace, so she ordered you to do this."

"I didn't, I didn't say that, you must have heard it wrong!" The midwife had delivered Wang Xiaomei before, so she naturally recognized her. Seeing her at the scene, she didn't dare to throw dirty water on her.

"You are lying, from the beginning to the end, everything is a lie. What are you hiding?" The Minister of Revenue stepped forward and kicked the midwife in the chest.

"Brother and sister-in-law, I have never done such a thing. If it was really me who ordered it, I will not be in trouble..."

"Okay, stop talking about yourself like that. Don't your sister-in-law and your eldest brother know who you are? What she said just now was just this bitch making random accusations!"

Ning Yuanzhi thought to himself, as expected, it was consistent with what he had investigated. The Minister of Revenue had only one sister, and the two siblings had a very good relationship. The Minister of Revenue's wife also had a good relationship with her sister, and the two had never had any conflicts in more than ten years. Madam Sun had no reason to exchange the children of both parties.

"Sir Wang, I have a new piece of evidence here. This is information from an investigation at the local government office. The day before your son and cousin were born, the midwife's daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby boy. The daughter-in-law died of hemorrhage that day, and the father of the baby boy died of illness when the mother was seven months pregnant."

"And the amazing thing is that the baby boy that the woman desperately gave birth to disappeared in the end. To be more precise, he disappeared after the midwife delivered the baby in the palace. Otherwise, you can tell me, where did your grandson go?"

Although the boy is young, the pressure he exudes when he looks serious cannot be underestimated.

"My grandson is gone. A child without a father and a mother is worthless and cannot be raised." The midwife curled up on the ground, holding her belly, her face pale.

"Humph, gone? In the end, he is gone, or you have replaced him with a prince, sending your grandson to a wealthy family to be a young master and enjoy wealth and glory!"

Ning Yuanzhi's words resounded like a thunder in everyone's heart. The wife of the Minister of Revenue shook, and her eyes burst into hatred. "Tell me quickly, what did you do back then!"

"I don't know, I know nothing." The fear on the midwife's face disappeared, and she looked at the wife of the Minister of Revenue with confidence. Finally, she glanced at Wang Anrui, Sun Huaishan, and Sun Huaiyuan with a hidden gaze, and her mouth moved.

"Crack!"

Realizing that she was trying to commit suicide by biting her tongue, Ning Yuanzhi acted quickly and directly removed the midwife's jaw.

"Shut her mouth and don't let her die. She dared to plot against me. I want you to see with your own eyes what happens to your grandson!" The Minister of Revenue had a cold voice and an angry look on his face, but he controlled his emotions very well.

His inquiring eyes fell on Wang Anrui, Sun Huaishan and Sun Huaiyuan. His son, his sister's son and his midwife's grandson happened to be three people. Could this be a coincidence?
