Spring Drunk Chang'an

Old Mrs. Song said this suddenly.

Song Bin...

understood.

"I saw it!" he replied.

The corners of his mouth were wide open.

There was an indescribable expression on his face.

It feels like a toothache.

"Do you think it looks like it?" Old Mrs. Song asked again.

Song Bin, "Yeah! Why not?"

"Don't you think it's as hard as me?"

"Come on, old woman, tell me what you have found out."

He grinned, sucked his teeth, and looked calm.

In fact...

Boundless anger was boiling in my chest.

Oh shit! !

Liu Xiu!!! That bastard, replacing his grandson wasn’t enough, so he replaced it with his granddaughter!!!

It never ends!!

His little daughter has violated the law of heaven and disturbed the nest of scum!!!

She gave birth to three children in total, and two-thirds of them were exchanged! !

Can I pass?

Can’t leave too quickly!!

He was so angry that his cheeks puffed up and his eyes were full of fire.

Originally, his wife told him that Qingru might not be Lan Niang's daughter, but was swapped... He only believed it halfway, after all, there was no solid evidence.

All the old woman can come up with are basically "coincidences" and guesses.

Although there are too many "coincidences" to avoid suspicion, it sounds a bit unscientific to say that Qingru is not Lan Niang's child without solid evidence.

But now...

I saw Liu Changan with my own eyes, and saw that oval face that looked exactly like his! !

Song Bin finally understood why his wife was so sure!

"Any clues?" He clenched his fists and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Yes!" Old Madam Song said in a deep voice, her expression not looking good. She said, "I found the midwife who delivered Lan Niang and Lai Shi back then."

"Huh? Lan Niang and Liu Xiu's concubine used the same midwife?" Song Bin frowned. "Didn't they both give birth on the same day?"

"It was the same day, but not at the same time." Old Madam Song shook her head. "Lai gave birth two hours earlier than Lan Niang, but the child died on birth. Later, Lan Niang was frightened and gave birth prematurely. The Ningguo Mansion didn't have time to hire a midwife, so they used the one who delivered Lai."

"The midwife is a servant of the Ningguo Mansion, and her husband's surname is Hua."

"Died on the ground?" Song Bin frowned. "I remember you said the child's grave was empty?"

"That's right." Old Mrs. Song nodded.

"So, it was Hua who first delivered Lai's baby, a daughter, and then immediately reported the baby dead. No one had time to see the body, and then Lan Niang went into premature labor. Hua was brought in to deliver her baby, and then the baby was switched?"

Song Bin guessed, "I remember that the Lai family is Old Lady Lai's family. When Lan Niang was unwell, she managed the Ningguo Mansion for a while. She should be able to subdue a few servants~"

"But, if it was really Hua Midwife and the others who did this, why was Liu Changan thrown to the Yan River?"

"Shouldn't they just strangle her to death and pretend she was Lai's child who 'died on the ground'? That would be more appropriate!"

"I can't guess this either." Old Mrs. Song sighed.

Song Bin was silent, pondering for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out. He asked, "So what did you find out?"

"Midwife Hua's entire family died. Just six months after she delivered Lai and Lan Niang, a fire broke out in her house for no apparent reason. More than a dozen people were burned to death, leaving only a newborn granddaughter." Old Lady Song paused, then added, "Now, that child is serving in Lai's courtyard."

Song Bin's face was solemn, and the anger between his brows grew stronger and stronger.

Old Lady Song continued, "That child, Mrs. Lai named her 'Xiaohong'. I sent someone to monitor her and discovered that someone had been secretly in contact with her in the past three to five years."

"That person's comings and goings were irregular. Sometimes she'd see him once every three or five days, and sometimes he wouldn't show up for half a year. The people I sent out went to great lengths to find the stall where they had mutton soup when they secretly met. I got the stall owner to describe the situation, drew a portrait, and showed it to the people around Lan Niang!"

She paused for a moment, then sighed deeply, "That person is none other than the Chinese midwife."

"Oh? That old guy isn't dead?" Song Bin said harshly, smiling coldly, "He's really still alive."

"The evil has lasted for thousands of years." Old Lady Song sneered, her eyes cold. She said, "I wanted to use Xiaohong to catch her, but for the past six months, Midwife Hua has not appeared, and the clues have been cut off..."

"Leave it to me." Song Bin said immediately after hearing this, and then laughed and said: "Your subordinates are a bit naive. They have investigated to this point. With the midwife's granddaughter in hand, how could they not find the person?"

"Really, tsk tsk tsk, useless."

"You old man, my men are just servants and guards, unseasoned. They're nothing like your confidants, who are all retired scouts from the battlefield. How dare you compare them with my men?" Old Lady Song frowned and angrily scolded him, "You old man, you have no shame."

"Come on, come on, come on. If you can't beat me, you'll get angry."

"I don't dare to mess with you!"

Song Bin shrank his neck and made a strange expression.

Old Mrs. Song was so angry that she laughed and slapped him hard with her hand.

The self-blame and pain in his eyes gradually disappeared.

Seeing this, Song Bin finally felt relieved. He let the old woman slap him a few times to vent her anger. Then he said, "I'll find out where Hua Midwife is. Even if she crawled into a crack in the ground, I can dig her out."

"Do not worry."

"Hmm." Old Madam Song responded with some hesitation. After a while, she asked, "Should we tell Lan Niang and His Highness about this?"

After investigating to this point, it is about 70 to 80 percent certain that Chang'an is their child.

But she still works as a maid.

Lan Niang was also confused and ignorant.

You have to say something at least, right?

"For now...don't!" Song Bin thought for a moment and shook his head with difficulty. "If you are not 100% sure, don't say it. What if it is not true? It will ruin the relationship between Lan Niang and Qing Ru."

"Lan Niang has been doing this with her mother and daughter for decades, so a few days won't make a difference."

"Besides, Liu Wenbai and Yu'er have already upset Lan Niang. I'm surprised she can pretend nothing happened and get along with Liu Xiu, let alone Chang'an!"

Song Bin paused and sighed deeply, "I'm afraid she'll go crazy and fight Liu Xiu to the death."

"Forget it, forget it. Just let Chang'an suffer for a few days. Wait until Lan Niang gets divorced, and then take her back."

"If, she is really our granddaughter!"

"Then I'll listen to you." Mrs. Song thought of her unlucky daughter and...

The even more unfortunate grandson and granddaughter also felt upset. They silently agreed and stopped talking.

The old couple had a sleepless night.

The next morning, Xiao Chuo said goodbye to the old couple and left Cheng'en Mansion first, returning to make careful arrangements.

He revealed to Liu Wenbai that "Liu Wenrui knew the truth and had never given up investigating the evidence."

Liu Wenbo, who had been depressed because he failed to pass the imperial examination, immediately stood up and slammed the table~~

"What??"
