Chapter 931 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (Fifty-three)

The maid nodded and wrote her name on her hand first.

A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and her voice was low and trembling: "This was given to me by my grandmother before she died. She said it was from my father for his unborn child."

Qingli's eyes were filled with shock. It turned out that it was not the "Ying" that meant plump, but the "Ying" that meant crystal clear.

She looked at Aying carefully and found that Zhou Zhiying and Aying looked quite similar, except that one was thinner and the other was plump. At first glance, the similarities were not noticeable. In fact, Aying's eyebrows and eyes were more beautiful, and her expression was clearer.

How interesting.

"I remember you've lived in the village since you were little. Your grandmother said there was a flood in your hometown, so she took you to the capital to escape. Your son and daughter-in-law both died. It seems there's something else going on.

Who are your parents? Now you need to tell me your life story honestly, otherwise someone will harm you when I'm not paying attention, and I may not be able to avenge you. "

Aying hesitated for a while and told everything she knew.

It turned out that her grandmother who died early was not her biological grandmother, but her mother's cook.

Her mother was overly worried during her pregnancy. One day, she went out and came back quickly to pack up her things and run away with her mother-in-law. She died of dystocia on the way and entrusted Aying to her mother-in-law on her deathbed.

The old woman had no children, so she treated Aying like her own granddaughter. Unfortunately, an old, weak woman with a baby could not protect her money, and it was all stolen. Finally, the old woman fainted near the farm while holding the baby, and it was Manager Zhao who saved her.

The old woman sold herself, and the two of them lived in the village from then on. Aying's household registration was also on the village. However, the old woman passed away when Aying was five years old.

Before she died, the old woman gave the jade pendant to Aying and asked her to keep it well. The jade pendant could be a death warrant or a ladder to the sky.

The reason why her mother was so worried was because her father committed a serious crime and was beheaded in public. Her mother saw it with her own eyes and ran away as soon as she came back.

Her grandmother meant that if her father was wrongly accused and the emperor forgave her family, he would find her through the jade pendant. As her father's biological daughter and perhaps only heir, she would definitely be rewarded.

But over the years, she had never heard of anyone's family being exonerated, which showed that her father's death was not unjust, at least the emperor did not remember her father.

It is obvious that the jade pendant is now Aying's death warrant.

Because all the people in the kitchen were called in today to apologize, when they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, they accidentally exposed the jade pendant, which was discovered by the county lady who passed by her.

When the county lady saw the jade pendant, she wanted to snatch it away. After being stopped by Aying, she looked ferocious, as if she wanted to kill Aying.

So what's the point of keeping this jade pendant?

Aying hesitated again and again. Although she didn't know why the county lady wanted the jade pendant, for the sake of her own life, she still said that her mother might be the concubine of a wealthy family and her father had been beheaded.

It was obvious that Aying was very frightened by her identity as the daughter of a traitor, and she didn't dare to mention it for so many years.

Qingli confirmed that this was all Aying knew about her life story, so she told her to relax and that she would not drive Aying away.

Qingli had already guessed Aying's identity. The emperor did kill a group of people as a warning to others, including Zhou's ex-husband.

In fact, that family was a fence-sitter, supporting the emperor on the surface but betting on Prince Lu in secret. They were caught as an example by the emperor, and the entire family was either exiled or executed.

A few years later, during the emperor's general amnesty, their crimes were pardoned, with a maximum exile of ten years. Now, those who survived have already completed their sentences and are living ordinary lives. After handing the jade pendant to her master, Ah Ying finally returned to the kitchen with peace of mind.

"Aying is back. I left some food for you to eat quickly."

Aying thanked the aunt with a smile. She said that she was able to survive all these years only because the people in the village supported her. Otherwise, how could a five-year-old girl survive?

She is very content and satisfied with her current life.

On the other side, Zhou Zhiying got angry and wanted to go back to the city after leaving the village.

Geng Qianqian asked Zhou Zhiying, "County Lady, are we really not going to the Royal Stables?"

"Hmph, if you want to go, go by yourself. This county magistrate is going back to the city."

"But didn't you promise the Seventh Prince to send me there?"

"I'm busy, okay? Go by yourself."

Zhou Zhiying was feeling annoyed and got on the carriage directly.

Geng Qianqian's maids were not convinced. They didn't bring a carriage with them, so how could they go? They were supposed to take their own carriages when leaving the house, but the county magistrate wanted the young lady to ride in her carriage with them.

Geng Qianqian grabbed the maid who wanted to talk and got into the car with her.

Just 500 meters out of the village, a man ran out from under the big tree in front of him, stood in the middle of the road and shouted, "Stop!"
