【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 16: The Cowardly Mother-in-law Who Raised Her Head in Ancient Times 15

Hearing the groom say the person was still alive, Yun Xi ordered: "Dongzhu, you and Xiaodong go down and carry the girl up. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. We just came down from Lingyin Temple. The Buddha might be watching us."

Dong Zhu, who had stepped out of the carriage and rushed over, told Xiao Dong and several of the young ladies' personal maids to carry the little girl who was blocking the road onto the carriage where the masters were sitting. The summer days were long and the light was abundant. Yun Xi, who had always looked compassionate, was stunned when she saw the little girl. She sighed softly and said, "This girl's figure is really like me when I was young."

Qi Wu and the others just thought she was reminiscing about the past and didn't take it seriously. When they saw the little girl being carried up, Qi Wu instructed them to put her in the middle of the carriage. Qi Liu silently poured a cup of warm water, Qi Qi took out a clean handkerchief and prepared to wipe the person's face. Xiao Ba stared at her with wet eyes, somewhat curious.

As soon as the person was put down, Qi Qi bent down to push aside the person's hair and wiped her dirty face. Qi Liu waited for her to finish wiping before giving the little girl some water.

"ah!"

Unexpectedly, Qiqi screamed and his upper body leaned back and hit the wall of the carriage.

Four pairs of eyes looked at her, full of confusion.

Qi Qi pointed at the little girl and said, "Look at her. Doesn't she look a lot like her father?"

"What?" Xiao Ba leaned over to observe carefully and quickly came to a conclusion, "She looks like her father and her mother too!"

Yun Xi knew it was her turn to perform, so she couldn't help but lean over to take a closer look. Then she was a little distracted, "How could this be? Your father and I don't have any children who are not publicly known. Oh, and by the way, all descendants of our Yun family have a mole on their bodies, without exception."

Qi Wu quickly asked, "Mother, where is the mole?"

Yun Xi pointed to her collarbone and said, "It's outside the collarbone socket."

Qi Wu paused, asked Dong Zhu to close the curtain, gently lifted a corner of the unconscious girl's clothes, and saw that there was indeed a mole outside her collarbone.

"Mother, it really is."

Qi Wu was a little overwhelmed when he first encountered the secrets of the Houzhai.

Xiao Ba boldly guessed, "Could it be that the mother gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and someone took one away?"

Qi Liu and Qi Wu looked at each other and it seemed possible.

Yun Xi shed a tear, "I've never given birth to twins. Not only did I have different doctors take my pulse each time I was pregnant, but your grandmother was also present during the births."

Qi Qi rubbed his back and said casually, "Could it be that your child was swapped? Who is so bold?"

Yun Xi was delighted and thought that Xiao Qi was quite good at building a ladder.

Qi Ba frowned, "But mother's four children all look very much like their father or mother."

Well, the ladder was pushed down by this little fool again.

Unexpectedly, Qi Liu said timidly at this time: "But Dad has many concubines."

Yun Xi quickly used this as a ladder and said, "That's right. We'll ask about the child's birth date and then see if anyone in the family has the Yun family's unique moles. Then we'll know if someone else has taken over."

The carriage was very quiet, with only the faint breathing of the unconscious girl. When they were almost home, the girl woke up. Yun Xi comforted her warmly, "Little girl, don't be afraid. You see, there are only girls here."

The little girl nodded with tears in her eyes, "You are so kind, just like the mother in my dreams."

Qi Wu's heart moved, he glanced at his three sisters, and asked quietly: "Miss, may I ask your birth date?"

The little girl closed her eyes and seemed unwilling to speak. Qi Wu was a little disappointed. After a long while, the little girl whispered a date.

The four Qi sisters looked at Yun Xi inquiringly, and Yun Xi burst into tears, "This is exactly the same as the fourth child's birth date."

Hey!

It was the fourth child who was replaced, so the fourth child should be the concubine's son, after all, the fourth child looks 40% like his father.

Since his father passed away, the fourth child has not had a strong presence in the family. He just turned sixteen and got married some time ago, but less than a month later, the grandfather passed away. Since then, the fourth child and his wife have had an even weaker presence.

Now it seems that he knows his own life experience?

Everyone in the carriage had their own thoughts, only Yun Xi hugged the little girl and cried out "my heart, my honey."

The system sighed, what a picture of deep love between mother and daughter.

Soon, the carriage arrived home. Yun Xi pulled the little girl out of the car, and with tears in her eyes, she found her eldest son and told him what had happened.

Qi Xian knew the truth and agreed to test his fourth brother. "Mother, if it's a mistake, I, the eldest brother, will personally apologize to the fourth brother. But if we don't test it, what will happen to the Qi family's legitimate bloodline being spread out there? Besides, everyone is already suspicious. It's better to test it thoroughly. If it's a mistake, we can clear the fourth brother's name."

Qi Xian spoke with great righteousness. Yun Xi looked at him with admiration and took the children to the main hall in the front yard. She ordered people to quickly bring some food for her fourth daughter. In order to act, she told her fourth daughter not to eat so that she would pretend to faint from hunger to look more realistic.

Qi Xian followed closely and ordered, "Go and call the third, fourth, and second sons and the clan leader to come over."

When the fourth daughter was having snacks, people from the third and fourth rooms had all arrived, and there were quite a few people standing in the huge main hall.

Qi Xian took the lead in explaining everything clearly. The third wife was stunned, and the couple in the fourth wife fell to the ground without any resistance, obviously they were mentally prepared.

However, the necessary ceremony had to be completed. Qi Xian arranged for himself, Dongzhu, his third brother, fourth sister, two nephews and this impostor to have their moles checked together. The final result was beyond doubt.

Yun Xi covered her eyes with a handkerchief, "Fourth brother, you also know the status of a concubine's son. You and I are mother and son. Tomorrow, please ask the clan leader to record you in the column of concubine's son. Fourth daughter, your second sister is called Qi Yao, and you will be called Qi Yue from now on. You will be added to the family tree tomorrow.

My poor child, you've suffered a lot in the past sixteen years. From now on, you will live in Xingyue Courtyard next to your mother. Fourth brother, you and your wife can move to Qingfeng Courtyard. It's quiet there, and you can live your life there. Don't worry, the family property will not be lost, but it will be your share according to the illegitimate son's share."

Qi Jing wanted to refute his father's promise that all male members of the Qi family would share the family property equally, but with the clan leader and elders watching, he knew that once his identity as the concubine's son was exposed, he would most likely be kicked out, so he accepted his fate and left with his wife.

Qi Yue called softly: "Mother~"

"Hey, my dear, you will be the legitimate daughter of the Qi family in the future, with the same status as your two brothers and one sister. Don't be restrained. Come, recognize them quickly. This is your eldest brother, this is your third brother and his wife, and there is also your eldest nephew Qi Zhang and your niece Qi Yi. Your second sister married into the Li family in the same city. Your brother-in-law passed the imperial examination this year and has been appointed as a county magistrate in the north. We will meet again when there is a chance."

Qi Yue greeted her eldest and third brothers one by one, being well-behaved and sensible. Qi Xian's heart softened, and he took out a white jade pendant from his waist and handed it to her. "Yu'er, you have suffered a lot. This is a gift from your eldest brother. Now that your grandmother has just passed away, it is not easy to hold a banquet at home. After the mourning period is over, your eldest brother will hold a coming-of-age ceremony for you and announce your status at the same time."

"Thank you, big brother." Qi Yue was touched and took it carefully.
