Lu Chen nodded slightly. “This possibility is not small.” Qiao jinniang said, “If glutinous rice is really the baby that Zhou Qing and he harmed, then what if Zhou Qing and he knew about glutinous Rice’s identity? “That’s not right. If it really is glutinous rice, i definitely won’t let Zhou Qing and he off.” Zhou Qing and he could have been ruthless back then, let alone now. Knowing that glutinous rice was still alive, how could she not kill him? She had long been in conflict with Zhou Qing because of Zhou Sisi and Zhou Shihui. It was really Zhou Qing and she had to strike first. Lu Chen held Qiao Jinniang’s hand. “I was afraid that you would be impulsive, so I didn’t want to tell you about this. These are just our guesses.” Qiao Jinniang got up and said, “Yes, we have to go and see Glutinous Rice’s parents first.” .. The early autumn sun was as scorching as ever. A group of people dressed like ordinary farmers entered marquis an Yuan’s manor. The group of people were dumbstruck as if they had entered a fairyland. Qiao Jinniang and glutinous rice were already waiting in the courtyard. Glutinous rice had asked Qiao jinniang several times if her clothes were okay. Qiao jinniang smiled at glutinous rice. “You look very good.” “Xiangxiang!”Two old men with white hair staggered over. Trembling, the woman saw the birthmark on the back of glutinous Rice’s neck and said, “Xiangxiang, you’re really alive. That’s great, that’s Great!” “Mother, didn’t Huang Daxian in the village say that my younger sister will have good fortune if she doesn’t die?”A capable young woman said. “Mother, don’t cry.” After glutinous rice looked at Lady Qiao Jin, she went to pay her respects and said, “Father, mother, don’t cry. I’m happy that I can find my biological parents.” The peasant woman trembled as she took out a jade pendant from her bosom and said, “Xiangxiang, actually, we’re not your biological parents either.” Glutinous rice said in shock, “But...” Qiao Ruoyun looked at the jade pendant from the side and felt that it was very familiar. The peasant woman said, “Back then, when your father and I were working in the fields, your eldest sister went to the latrine pit and heard your cries. When we rushed over, we saw you under the latrine pit and we quickly rescued you. “At that time, it was fortunate that someone in the village had boiled hot water so that you wouldn’t freeze to death at that time. “Your father and I had never been able to have a man. Huang Daxian in the village said that we weren’t lucky enough and let us support you. “At that time, we thought that we wouldn’t leave you behind even if we had a bite to eat. However, who knew that a disaster would force us to separate. “After escaping for our lives, we forgot to give you this jade pendant. This jade pendant was found in your swaddling clothes when we met you. There was a joss word carved on it, so we named You Joss.” Glutinous rice held the jade pendant and knelt down. “No matter what, you have saved my life. Glutinous rice will definitely repay your kindness.” The peasant woman said, “It’s good that you’re alive. It’s good that you’re alive. As long as you’re not inhumane, seeing how you were born at that time, it’s impossible not to save you. “I don’t know which God damned person threw you in there. Back then, Li Zheng said that the swaddling clothes on your body were all high-class Yun Jin. I’m afraid that you were thrown away by your family in order to protect your reputation. He advised us not to report it to the government. Later, because of the flood, we were separated from you for so long. I don’t know if you can still find your family now!” Qiao Jinniang heard that it was glutinous rice that she found in the latrine pit in winter and was extremely angry. She said to glutinous rice, “Let me see the Jade Pendant.” The glutinous rice handed the jade pendant to Qiao Jinniang. Qiao Jinniang thought about the place where the jade pendant had once fallen. She wrapped the jade pendant with a handkerchief before examining it carefully: “I seem to have seen a piece of this jade on Fu Lu’s waist.” Qiao Ruoyun said, “That’s right. When I was being hunted down that day, Princess Fu Lu gave me her jade pendant. It’s similar to this jade pendant. The carvings on the back seem to be the same.” Qiao Jin Niang glanced at Lu Chen and exchanged glances with him, confirming their suspicions in the Eastern Palace. Qiao Jin Niang returned the jade pendant to glutinous rice and said, “Glutinous rice, hide this jade pendant well and keep it a secret. I’ll help you find your biological parents.” Glutinous rice hid the jade pendant and nodded gently, “Yes, Master.” Qiao jinniang gave glutinous Rice’s adoptive parents another sum of silver and promised them a large fishing boat that could go out to sea, telling them not to make a fuss about this matter. Glutinous Rice’s adoptive mother thanked her profusely. “Of course, of course. Although we don’t know what happened. But I think that someone who is so crazy as to throw a baby into a latrine pit must not be a good person. We will keep glutinous Rice’s identity a secret from the outside world.” Glutinous rice sent the adoptive parents to an inn to rest. Qiao Jinniang clenched her fists in the carriage that was returning to the palace: “Zhou Qinghe has gone too far. Throwing a child into the latrine pit in the winter, he wants the child to be drowned alive by the filth and freeze to death!” Thinking about it, Qiao Jinniang felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. Glutinous rice was lucky to have met all the kind-hearted villagers. If she was unlucky, no one would have found out that there was a child in the latrine pit. Moreover, not everyone could be selfless enough to jump into the latrine pit to save someone. Lu Chen patted Qiao Jinniang on the back and said, “I know you’re angry, but don’t act rashly on this matter. Zhou Qing and Tong Yingying were different. Tong Yingying was just an empty title. And you’ve seen how much Zhou Qing and now are admired by the people. The past is too long ago, and you can’t testify that the person who threw away sticky rice back then was Zhou Qing and. At this moment, Zhou Qing and is in the limelight. If we take revenge rashly, we might even be backfired by her supporters.” Qiao jinniang said, “Yes, let’s go to mother’s side first and tell her about this matter.” Zhou Qing he was Empress Zhou’s biological sister after all. If Empress Zhou really wanted to protect Zhou Qing he, Qiao Jinniang would still take revenge for glutinous rice, but she had to hide it from Empress Zhou. However, Qiao Jinniang thought that Empress Zhou should be able to distinguish between public and private matters. .. In the administrative hall. Zhou Qing he wore this purple palace dress and sat beside Empress Zhou: “Sister, the Ministry of Justice has already set a date for the execution of Sisi. Do you really wish for His Majesty to Know the truth of the past rather than to save Sisi?” Empress Zhou asked, “What truth of the past?” Zhou Qing said, “You clearly know that His Majesty initially took a liking to my talent and my knowledge! The person his majesty likes to have a successor is also me. His Majesty only mistook you for me back then. “Do you think that if I told his majesty about the past, His Majesty would still favor you?” “If His Majesty knew that his favor over the past twenty years had been doting on the wrong person, what do you think he would do?” Empress Zhou poured a glass of water for Zhou Qing and said, “Sister, it’s not that I didn’t save Sisi, but Sisi committed a human life. She had clearly returned to normal, but she still pretended to be dumb and hurt people through stupidity. I saved her this time, but what about in the future? Let her pretend to be stupid and hurt others again? Aren’t other people’s lives innocent?” Zhou Qing and threatened, “Then don’t blame me for not caring about our sisterly relationship. His Majesty knows that he has been deceived by you for twenty years. I believe you can’t keep your position as the empress, right?” “I don’t need you to worry about whether mother can keep her position as the Empress.” Lu Chen and Lady Qiao Jin were not allowed to report to the Empress when they entered the palace. As soon as they entered, they did not expect to hear Zhou Qing and his threat, so they spoke out. Zhou Qing said calmly, “King Huai is watching from the side like a tiger watching its prey. Sister, Crown Prince, why don’t you wake up and save Zhou Sisi? Get Qiao Lui and Fu Lu to break off the engagement and get back together with the Zhou family. Don’t blame me for not caring about the sisterly relationship.” Empress Zhou sighed. “Since sister has said so, it’s just right. I don’t want to care about the sisterly relationship anymore.” Hearing that, Zhou Qinghe angrily rebuked Empress Zhou. “Zhou Qingxiu, if you have the guts, I’ll just wait and see how you return the life that you’ve occupied for more than twenty years to me!”
