Fragrance Returned

Ding Xiang wanted to say that the instigators behind Old Witch Xun were Old Su and Concubine Su, and they were already dead. Their purpose is to kill all the descendants of the Han family who bear incense.

But she must not say these words. In order to protect this secret so that the descendants of the Han family would no longer suffer catastrophe, Empress Xiande asked the late emperor to change the surname Han to Dong Xing. Dong Yihe also changed the "prophecy" of the old monk Xuantong.

In fact, the "red horse" was also a witness, but Lilac couldn't say this.

Her liver ached from holding it back.

Ma Hong is not a big fish, but he is also a fish. I hope Qiu Wangzhi can catch it.

Ding Xiang asked, "When can we catch the wet nurse with the mole on her eyebrow?"

"My people should have arrived at Pure Land Mountain. They will be able to return to Beijing in September at the earliest, or early next year at the earliest."

"What if she dies?"

"This is a bit troublesome. We still need to find witnesses. If you can ask Master Mingyuan to come forward, that would be fine. The emperor firmly believes in his words, but he is not in Puguang Temple now."

Qiu Wangzhi has already thought of another witness to look for, namely the old neighbors of Qikou Hutong where Ding Zhao lived before. They can prove whether Ding Zhao and his wife had a child that year. However, this is only evidence.

Princess Dongyang and Mrs. Gu can definitely say that the fact that Ding Zhao and his wife did not have a child does not mean that Ding Xiang is Xun Xiang, and the current Xun Xiang is Xun Feng...

Ding Xiang wondered if the old monk had calculated this and didn't want to get involved in worldly affairs, so he moved away.

She asked again, "Can I meet Aunt Xia? Oh, I want to thank her for doing this big favor."

"Wait a little longer. She is an important witness and her safety must be protected. Good things are not going to happen. We can wait another two to four months at most."

"How is her life?"

Qiu Wangzhi shook his head, "No... Her later man's surname is Song, let's call her Nanny Song from now on."

Nanny Xia's previous man, Xia Er, was the deputy steward of the stable at the Princess Mansion. As soon as his daughter-in-law was driven home, she guessed that she had committed a serious crime and would definitely be severely punished.

Xia Er quickly packed up the gold and silver at home and hid it elsewhere.

A year after they were driven to Zhuangzi in Liaozhou, Xia Er divorced his wife and didn't even want the daughter she gave birth to. He used the money he had hidden to marry another Zhuangtou's daughter.

Aunt Xia, no, it’s Aunt Song. Grandma Song was blind, and she had a little girl under two years old with her. She had to remarry an old bachelor named Song in his forties in Zhuangzi, and the mother and daughter were able to survive.

That man died of illness again the year before last. My daughter Song Ru became a laborer when she was less than ten years old, working day and night. When the man was alive, Nanny Song learned from him how to weave straw baskets and other tasks, and earned a little money by doing so.

Don't be shameless and borrow some money. After two years of this, Qiu Wangzhi's people found them secretly.

After Qiu Wangzhi passed away, he asked people to take the mother and daughter to live in a neighboring county for a while in the name of the distant relative of the man named Aunt Song.

What Qiu Wangzhi couldn't say was that although Nanny Song looked old, she was literate and had been a second-class girl in Xun Qiandai's study when she was young. She had a charm that country women did not have.

Shameless Xia Er ran to her house to give her some money and sleep again after her man died and the mother and daughter were in dire straits.

Aunt Song hated that man to death, but Liaozhou was covered in ice and snow for at least four months. People there had a "cat winter" in winter, and the mother and daughter had no source of income. In order for her daughter to survive, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and endure it...

Ding Xiang even cried.

The only person in that big house who had truly taken care of her was living in such an embarrassing situation.

Ding Xiang couldn't help but feel too sad, so she quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

He took out a fifty-tael silver note from his purse and said, "Mama Song has done me a lot of help. Give this money to them to buy more delicious food and clothes."

She doesn't want to take much money now, and we'll talk about it later after we get to know each other. Not only must he provide for Mother Song in her old age, but she must also transfer Song Ru to work by her side.

Ask the doctor to take a look at her eyes again, in case it can be cured.

Qiu Wangzhi confiscated it and said, "You will hand it over to her when you see her. Don't worry about their mother and daughter's current lives, I have arranged them... Uh, your birthday is about to happen, right?"

Qiu Wangzhi changed the topic.

Ding Xiang nodded, "Well, there are still a few days."

Qiu Wangzhi smiled, his smile gentle and warm. The sun shone in from the small window behind him, enveloping him in a halo, making his facial features appear softer.

He said, "My grandmother said that you sent Han'er a lot of food a few days ago. Han'er likes it very much, and she also likes Feifei. On your birthday, let Han'er go to your house to congratulate you."

Ding Xiang has no intention of living now, and it's hard to refuse.

"Thank you and welcome."

Qiu Wangzhi added, "I haven't had much contact with you, but I can see that your family is very kind to you."

This is asking yourself from the side.

Ding Xiang told the truth, "My family is very good to me. It is no exaggeration to say that since childhood, my family has given me all the best. Good food, good clothes, all good things are mine. I make When I do something wrong, my father is reluctant to beat or scold me, and will take his anger out on my brother and even my parents.

"I will never forget that when I was three years old, my second uncle took out a loan shark and ran away. Jiaozipu came to my house to collect the debt, and they also wanted to rob me to pay off the debt. My two brothers both asked to be sold to save me, and my father The entire property was pushed out, and my father cut off three of his fingers, so I was safe.

"I feel that I am the happiest granddaughter, daughter, and sister in the world. Those palaces of princes, princesses, and wealthy families are not as good as mine."

When she said this, Ding Xiang's eyes were filled with warmth and emotion.

Qiu Wangzhi said sincerely, "You are so lucky to have such a good family. Behind the gates of those big houses..." He shook his head, "There are so many secrets."

After what needed to be said, Ding Xiang suggested before leaving, "If something happens in the future, we will meet here."

Now, she's going to visit less of Mahon's territory.

Qiu Wangzhi didn't know why she made this request, but he nodded and said, "Okay."

At night, Lilac tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

I feel sad thinking about what happened to Grandma Song. I don’t know how many people were killed in a girl-swapping incident. A good portion of these people are guilty and deserve to die. There are also innocent people like Nanny Song, especially her daughter Song Ru, who is only half a year older than herself.

Fortunately they survived...

When I was confused, a trace of doubt suddenly became clear.

Qiu Wangzhi looked at her a little strangely during the day, and he also evaded some words...

Seeing myself in the hottest afternoon, climbing to the third floor and making a disfigured person to scare people, the purpose is to make myself sweat.

We didn't meet at Mingyuan Tea House because that place is close to Princess Dongyang's Mansion. Then, Grandma Song should have gone to Mingqian Tea House and smelled her scent.

The woman on the third floor stairs!

Ding Xiang sat up immediately.

Agent Qiu is really sinister. He already knew her true identity, but he didn't tell her the truth.
