I was a housekeeper in ancient times

Upon hearing this, Chef Huang said, "Daping County is quite far from the capital. Are you here to visit relatives in the capital?"

Tang shook his head, his eyes unconsciously falling on Yanyan who was eating maltose next to Chef Huang, a hint of kindness appeared in his eyes.

Since the other person was unwilling to talk, Lin Weiqiao did not continue to ask. Seeing Tang Shi in a dishevel and with a haggard face, she asked, "Your home is far away, so where do you stay at night?"

Tang was a little embarrassed and hesitantly said, "I'm staying at a relative's house."

"Then we'll take you back later."

"No, don't bother you, I can go back by myself."

As soon as the voice fell, Tang's stomach made a gurgling sound, and Yanyan smiled and said, "This aunt is hungry."

Tang was too embarrassed to raise her head.

Chef Huang said, "That's just right. I cooked lotus leaf rice and there are still a few pieces left. I also have half a pot of fish soup and stewed winter melon. I'll heat them up."

Lin Weiqiao nodded and told Xiaohan: "Go back to the mansion first. Is there any trouble in the kitchen?"

Xiao Han said, "No, without Aunt Wu and the others, the kitchen is much safer. Also, Madam Huang is sick, and Miss Seven is used to eating the food Madam Huang cooks. Now she has a different taste and she can't get used to it."

After saying this, Xiaohan left.

Tang, who was listening on the side, asked in surprise: "Seven, Seventh Miss? You are..."

Lin Weiqiao hadn't noticed Tang's strangeness yet, so she said truthfully, "We are all servants of the Pingrong Marquis's mansion."

"Then the Seventh Girl you are talking about is..."

"Of course it's the girl from the Bo's Mansion."

"So how old is this seventh girl this year?"

"He must be three or four years old, right?"

Tang was so frightened that she lost her grip on the teacup, which fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

Lin Weiqiao looked at her in confusion. Seeing that she was absent-minded, she realized something was wrong. Why was she only asking about the Seventh Young Lady when there were so many young ladies in the mansion?

Thinking about how she had appeared near the Bo's Mansion several times, she was obviously here to look for someone, but she never went to the Bo's Mansion to ask.

At this time, Chef Huang brought the food, said a few words, and then took Yanyan to continue guarding Madam Huang.

Perhaps Tang had been hungry for a long time, and when he saw such a sumptuous meal, he didn't care about anything else and started to eat it voraciously.

Lin Weiqiao looked at Tang calmly from the side. The more she looked at Tang, the more familiar he looked.

Seventh Girl... She suddenly started, she finally remembered, no wonder Tang looked familiar to her, it turned out that Tang and Seventh Girl were somewhat similar, especially in face shape, eyes, and hair, which were all very fine and yellowish.

A bold idea came to her mind. She suddenly understood why Tang Shi refused to talk about her difficulties and why she didn't dare to go into the mansion to ask. Could it be...

After Tang finished eating, she tentatively said, "Alas, our seventh young lady has been ill for some time. The doctor didn't cure her and she has lost some weight."

Sure enough, Tang's expression changed after hearing this, and she could not hide her worry in her eyes, "There are so many delicious foods and drinks in the mansion, how could this happen..."

"Ah, who says it isn't true? He hasn't been sleeping well lately, always crying at night, and the nurse can't comfort him. Our wife is weak and can't take care of him."

"Is this so..."

Tang was stunned, looking ahead with a dull gaze, not knowing what he was thinking about.

She turned around to close the door and said in a quiet tone, "In fact, our wife has long known that Miss Seven is not her biological daughter!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue. Tang's pupils trembled, his heart tightened, and he trembled, his mouth trembling: "W-what?"

"I just don't know where this wild child came from. I thought of throwing him away!"

"no!"

Tang stood up suddenly, making a loud noise, as if he was going to fight someone to the death.

She sat down calmly, "Who are you?"

Tang then realized that his behavior was too abnormal. "Didn't I tell you? I'm from Daping County."

"Why don't you tell the truth?"

"I……"

"You came all the way here to inquire about the Bo's Mansion, but you didn't go in. You mentioned the Seventh Miss in the mansion and were so concerned about her. Who would believe you if you said it was nothing? To tell you the truth, I am Mama Lin, the companion of the eldest lady of the Bo's Mansion. We already know that the Seventh Miss was replaced by someone. Since you knew about it, you are an accomplice!"

"I'm not! I, I'm also a victim."

After some testing, I actually found out something.

She also didn't expect that she could trick Yue Jie'er's biological mother out so easily.

She was still worried about not being able to find a midwife from the Guan family, but suddenly Tang appeared. It was like finding the one she had been looking for everywhere without any effort.

It would be good to find Tang. He must be aware of the child swap and might even know the whereabouts of the child.

She acted like a housemaid and interrogated Tang like a criminal, even threatening him that if he didn't tell the truth, the consequences would be serious.

"It's easy for us to deal with your family. Don't forget, your daughter is still in our hands. Think about it, if we expose this matter, will your daughter still have a chance to survive?"

Tang was just a commoner woman, she knew nothing and was timid, how could she withstand such intimidation? Regardless of whether it was true or not, she was really worried about her daughter, so she knelt down and kowtowed, grabbed her skirt, and begged bitterly: "No! Mother Lin, I beg you, don't tell this, if you tell it, she will be finished, and our family will be finished too."

She said, "Huh, you know you're worried about your own daughter, so doesn't our wife worry about the child she gave birth to with so much difficulty? Tell me, where is that child!"

"I, I don't know."

"It's already this time, you still want to hide it?"

Tang was so desperate that she cried and swore, "If I knew the whereabouts of that child, I would make sure that all of us would die miserably!"

She was speechless. Seeing Tang Shi so pitiful, she wondered if she was too cruel. But if she wasn't cruel, she was afraid that Tang Shi would not tell the truth.

"Tell me, what happened back then? Who ordered you to do it? Why did you come here again?"

Tang choked up and said that their family and the midwife from the Guan family were distant relatives and they did not interact often.

Three years ago, she was pregnant. She already had three sons and one daughter. Her family couldn't keep the baby in her belly, whether it was a boy or a girl, so she thought about giving it away.

At that time, Daguan midwife happened to come back to visit her relatives. She went to see her and asked her when she gave birth.

She then said that when she came, she learned that she was planning to give away her unborn baby. After a while, the midwife said that she had connections and could find a good family for the unborn baby and get a lot of money.

Their family was short of money and wanted to find a good family for the child. Daguan midwife was also a relative, so she would not make a mistake. They agreed without thinking too much.

When the midwife Daguan proposed to take her to the capital to give birth, with the expenses paid by her, she agreed and took her eldest son, who was already sensible, to the capital.
