Upon learning that his sister was being bullied, Xiao Minghao waved his short arms and beat up Hu Fei.

He ran to Mingyue to ask for credit, "Good sister! Don't be afraid, brother will help you teach that brat a lesson!"

Mingyue stood up and checked everything carefully, only feeling relieved after confirming that Minghao was not injured.

"Oh, your brother is very strong!" Minghao lifted his non-existent bangs, "Hey! Don't disbelieve me! I beat him so hard that he screamed!"

"That kid is such a coward! He kept crying and shouting, 'Daddy, save me! Daddy, save me!' Hey! Isn't his father dead?"

Jiang Mengrou, who was reading the records of the servants in the mansion over the years, suddenly raised her head and asked, "What did you say?"

"Ah? Mother... Mother... I said I beat that kid up..." He spoke softer and softer, covering his buttocks guiltily, thinking that his mother was going to punish him.

"No, the second sentence, what did he shout?" He held his forehead helplessly.

"Oh, he called for help from his father, and said that he would let his father teach me a lesson." After he finished speaking, the room was quiet for a while.

When everyone heard this, their eyes widened as if something had clicked.

Everyone had a terrible guess in their mind.

Following this line of thought, we connected several pieces of information we found.

It is known that nine years ago, when Lord Hu was drunk and not paying attention, Xue Baoer drugged him and made him sleep with her. Later, Xue Baoer became pregnant.

The following year, Xue Baoer gave birth to a son prematurely. The midwife and the maids who attended to her were all punished and beaten to death for various reasons.

Five years ago, Lord Hu suddenly passed away due to illness.

And a few months ago, the old lady Princess Rongcheng suddenly fell seriously ill.

Obviously, if Jiang Mengrou had not arrived and no one discovered that the old lady was poisoned, in everyone's eyes, the old lady would have died quietly like Lord Hu.

Thinking of this, Mingyue clenched her teeth. The secrets of the backyard were terrifying!

If Hu Fei's biological father is someone else, all this seems to be related to Xue Baoer.

So the first thing now is to find the adulterer.

But, I have no idea.

Everyone who was in high spirits just now suddenly cooled down.

Xiao Mingyue felt bad when she saw her mother's face which had become a little thin recently.

Fortunately, there is still a sharp weapon that can be used!

Mingyue took advantage of the nap time to deliberately chat about gossip in front of Taotao and Zhizhi.

Three little heads huddled together, whispering, "I heard that the little bully isn't Lord Hu's biological son! His biological father is someone else. Who knows who cheated on Lord Hu?"

"Wow, miss! You're so well-informed!"

"That's right! Well, now I'm just worried about who that man is."

As expected, the next moment, Zhizhi's voice rang out.

[Bucket! Why didn't you tell me there was such a thing?!]

[Host, you didn’t ask.]

[Oh my god, you are too slow. If you can, talk, then go away.] Zhizhi suddenly became angry, and Xiao Mingyue rubbed her ears.

[Butler, Luan] seemed to be trembling.

……

[How should I tell the young lady this news?] Zhizhi patted her head, which was not very smart to begin with.

After getting the answer she wanted, Xiao Mingyue relaxed completely.

Xiao Mingyue decided to give Zhizhi a chance to remind herself, "I think that little bully doesn't look like his mother. He probably looks like his father."

Taotao thought of his chubby body and chuckled, "Then his father must be fat too, just as chubby as him."

Zhizhi thought of the housekeeper whom she had briefly met when she entered the mansion that day, and retorted, "That's not necessarily true."

Xiao Mingyue also chimed in, "Right! Maybe he's deliberately fattened up so others can't see it."

Zhizhi pretended to be enlightened, "Hey! Could it be the butler? I think their eyebrows and eyes look a bit similar."

Tao Tao clapped her hands, "That makes sense! Princess Rongcheng's family all have round almond eyes. Xue Bao'er also has round eyes, but that little brat has phoenix eyes!"

The two little girls thought about it and it seemed to make more and more sense, so they hurriedly urged Xiao Mingyue to tell Jiang Mengrou about this guess.

"Aren't you afraid of being punished for mistaking someone?"

"Don't be afraid! His Highness is in a state of panic right now, and there's nothing we can do to help! If you're wrong, you deserve to be punished!" Taotao was Zhizhi's mouthpiece. Taotao Kuku said a few words, and Zhizhi nodded, "Yeah, yeah."

[Besides, the bucket told me the correct answer, so it can’t be wrong!]

So, Xiao Mingyue, having achieved her goal, ran to Jiang Mengrou and briefly relayed the conversation between the three of them. "Mother, we've carefully analyzed it, and now that I think about it, it makes sense! What do you think?"

Jiang Mengrou looked at her little daughter in front of her and the two little heads poking out from the door. "At such a young age, are you still learning how to solve cases in the Ministry of Justice?"

Mingyue chuckled, "My dear mother, please think about it. Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. Who knows, maybe a blind cat will actually catch a dead mouse!"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" Zhao Yunshan and Jiang Mengrou laughed out loud.

"Where did you learn these words? Is this how you use them?" Jiang Mengrou pinched Mingyue's little nose.

"Okay, Daddy will check the housekeeper's background for you! If it's not him, don't cry!" Zhao Yunshan made the decision and agreed to this matter.

"Thank you, Daddy! Daddy is the best!" I'll give you a kiss as a reward!

After Mingyue left, Jiang Mengrou blamed him for playing tricks with her daughter.

He walked behind Jiang Mengrou and stretched out his hand to pinch her neck. "Madam, our little treasure's intuition is sometimes quite accurate, and as parents, we should not discourage children's curiosity."

Jiang Mengrou squinted her eyes comfortably, "Well, you are right."

After being busy for a while, I went to visit the old lady again.

The old lady's mental state was very good, but her children all thought that she was not well and was in her last moments of life.

There was crying in the yard.

Princess Rongcheng looked at her filial sons and grandsons kneeling in a group in the room, and her eyes were so moved that they felt a little sore.

"Everyone, get up. I'm an old woman. There's nothing to do. Go back and rest if you need to. Don't stay here and get in my way."

Unexpectedly, they didn't believe it, shook their heads, and cried even harder.

The Hu family: The old lady can speak more fluently now, it must be her last burst of energy!

Princess Rongcheng: I’ve already told you, if you don’t believe me, don’t blame me.

It was Jiang Mengrou who asked them all to go down so as not to disturb the old lady's rest, and only then did things quiet down.

"Aunt, I already have some ideas!" Jiang Mengrou tucked the corner of the quilt for the old lady and whispered in her ear.

The old lady felt her body gradually regain its vitality, her heart filled with hope, and she looked at Jiang Mengrou with eyes full of love and gratitude, "Good boy, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work, aunt. This is nothing compared to what you did to us back then."

"I can't even remember those things, but you still keep them in your mind."

Although the old lady said that, she felt warm in her heart.

It is the cycle of cause and effect. The good deeds done in youth have resulted in his escape from death this time.
