Chapter 223 The bride's secret
After Chen Lin finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment. He asked hesitantly, "Your Highness and Coroner Xiaochi come here. Could it be because of the case of Xu Qingming and my wife Yang Anzhi back then?"
Zhou Xian nodded, "That's true! Did Mr. Chen discover that something strange about Mrs.?"
As soon as Zhou Xian said this, he became a little annoyed. Since he met Lu Jin at the Chi family, his mind was simply taken away, and even questioning was nothing. Yang Anzhi was dead, Chen Lin was the victim. He asked this, which seemed too harsh and too mean.
Chen Lin smiled, as if he had seen through Zhou Xian's thoughts, "Your Highness doesn't have to make things difficult. Just ask if you have anything to do. It's shameful to say that I got married to Yang in just a few days ago. Before I could get to know her, that happened like that."
"I was young and had many things, and I couldn't help myself. After Yang's family went there, my elders felt that it was too embarrassing. Although the Yang family was not in the capital, they were also a big family in the south. No matter what, they could not let Xu Qingming go."
"As the husband of Yang, I have done all the things I could do for Xu Qingming back then."
"But", Chen Lin frowned, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip, "But some things I learned about later."
"When we went out to watch the lanterns, we agreed that if we were squeezed apart, we would meet at the Zuijing Tower on Zhuque Street. I booked an elegant room there. On the third floor, standing upstairs, you can see the fireworks in the palace."
"I am the first to arrive. After waiting for a long time, Yang came. She is very ethical and her clothes are never messy. But when she came in that day, her hair was messy, her hair fell off even more, and her clothes were wrinkled."
"I asked her what happened, but she didn't say anything, just lay there and cried, trembling. Later, Xu Qingming came, Yang stood up, slapped him, scolded him for being a disciple, and turned around and jumped off the railing."
"This happened so quickly. When we came to our senses, the people were gone. After Yang left, Xu Qingming was in prison... I couldn't stand it. Xu Qingming was the best friend of mine who studied hard with me, and Yang was the wife of my matchmaker."
"Because of this incident, Qing Ming was ruined in his entire life, and Yang lost his life."
Chen Lin sighed and took another sip of tea, "Some things I accidentally learned after I put them back. When my wife Yang Zhian came here, she brought a big secret."
"I don't know if this matter has anything to do with the matter back then. But after I knew it, I had reported it to the official. So it would be okay to tell His Highness and Xiaochi Corps about this."
When Chi Shi heard this, he looked at Zhou Xian and his eyes lit up a little. They were not wrong. Yang Anzhi was indeed a person with a secret.
"When Yang married, she was not alone, she also had a child."
As soon as Chen Lin finished speaking, he gained two sympathetic sights.
He smiled helplessly, "Where are you thinking about? What I mean literally. She married from the south and hid a child in the carriage. She had a close friend named Su Yurun. Although they had no blood relationship, they were like sisters."
"Su Yurun!" Zhou Xian exclaimed in surprise!
Chen Lin was not surprised, "Did Your Highness know? Then Su Yurun is the wife of the rebel general Li... General Li. Not long after the death of the first empress, General Li committed the crime of extermination of the nine clans, and General Li was beheaded and displayed to the public."
"Your Highness may know the old story back then, but Xiaochi Corps must not know. When Su Yurun got married with General Li, not many people actually knew about it. That was one time when General Li went out of the south to pacify the rebellion and rescued Miss Su who was captured by bandits."
"These things were all said later. I heard Yang Anzhi's wet nurse say. That time Xu Qingming came to look for me, so I thought of carrying the incense and candle to worship Yang. Unexpectedly, I ran into Yang's wet nurse and led a little girl to worship there."
"The little girl called Yang's mother," Chen Lin said, and his old face turned red. "I feel ashamed. At that time, I thought Yang was cheating on me and gave birth to a child before getting married. But after asking, I realized that the little girl was the daughter of Su Yurun and General Li."
Zhou Xiancong came back to his senses in shock and nodded at Chen Lin, "You continue."
Chen Lin nodded and continued to talk about the old story, "General Li rescued Miss Su because Miss Su was captured by the three thieves for three days and three nights... The Su family must not tolerate her. General Li was chivalrous and married Miss Su locally."
"General Li was in military affairs at that time and could not bring Miss Su with him. When the two parted, they made an agreement that when General Li came to Beijing to report to his parents, they would call someone to welcome her. They would remarry her again in the capital, and they would not lose Miss Su's decency."
"I don't think that this separation will be a long separation. General Li's family was convicted. Miss Su was safe and sound. But there was a villain who reported the matter and the court went to arrest Miss Su. Miss Su was eight months pregnant at that time."
"In order to protect the child in her belly and leave a bloodline for the Li family, she took the inducement medicine, gave birth to the child, and entrusted the child to her friend Yang Anzhi. She committed suicide by hanging her beam the moment before the officers and soldiers arrived."
"At that time, Yang Anzhi was married to Beijing, so she hid the child in the bride's carriage and brought it to Beijing together."
Chen Lin said, covering his chest with his hands. He looked up at Chi Shi, "It was not until I learned about this that I felt that I met Yang Anzhi, who had once married me. She was just sixteen years old at that time."
"It's easy to say "friend". Whoever drinks too much and doesn't hold her shoulders and calls her brothers, and wants to wear a pair of pants. But when the disaster comes, those who say they are brothers will turn around and walk completely. Seeing you struggling in the mud, you won't lend a helping hand."
"Although Yang is a female, she really can afford the word "Yan"..."
When Chi Shi heard this, his eyebrows were locked tightly, "Yang Anzhi is so loyal, Su Yurun entrusts her life to her. The child is still young, so she shouldn't commit suicide. Moreover, Su Yurun fell into the trap of a bandit for three days and never thought of suicide."
"Yang Anzhi was flirted with the words of the Yuan Ye, all she said, and no one could see her at all. If she didn't say anything, no one would know. I thought she was a little girl who had nothing to do, so naturally I couldn't hold it back."
"But she is so bold that she dares to hide and raise a traitor's child. How could she be teased by someone and jumped off the building to find a brief moment?"
Chen Lin's brows stretched a little, "I feel that there may be something inside. But I dare not tell Xu Qingming, for fear that he will have hope, so I fell into despair again. More than ten years have passed, and Su Yurun's children are about the same age as His Highness and Xiaochi Corps."
"Yang Anzhi is already dead, and there is no evidence of death. No one knows what happened at the beginning. The child's identity cannot be expressed, so naturally this matter cannot be made public. Xu Qingming..."
