Chapter 183
Chapter 183
Banxia wondered what went wrong. No matter what, back then and even now, she still believed in her heart that the person she rescued was Le Zhenghe's son. But now Baizhi said that Le Zheng Qiming was her son, and she couldn't believe it.
Thinking back to when she came to see me last time, it was clear that they had no contact at all. No, it was she who unilaterally didn't want to have any contact with her senior sister anymore.
After the child exchange, when she saw herself for the last time, her eyes were filled with hatred. Even though she knew that Le Zhenghe had done her a favor, it didn't make her hate herself to such an extent. At this time, she understood a little, because at that time she thought she had killed her son. She didn't hate herself because of Le Zhenghe's son, but because of the revenge for killing her son.
Yes, if she could think of exchanging the baby, how could Bai Zhi and Yue Zhengzhi, who were also about to give birth at the time, not think of this trick? She just exchanged the baby after them and happened to save their children.
No wonder she suddenly came to my house and said some inexplicable words. I thought she knew that I had replaced Le Zhenghe’s son, and it turned out that she wanted to thank me for saving her son’s life.
However, they have been treating their son as dead for these years and have not raised anyone around them. So what about Le Zhenghe’s child?
"You, how did you know? I didn't tell anyone else except myself. How did you know for sure that Qi Ming was your child? Where did the child of the head of the He family go?"
"When I first met Qi Ming, I felt that he was kind, but I was afraid that missing my child would bring disaster, so I had to stay away from him. I told myself that his mother was my enemy who killed her son. I'm sorry, Senior Sister, I didn't trust you more, and I hated you for seventeen years."
"It's not your fault. I would hate it just as much if it were me."
"When I knew my child was still alive, and then I saw Qi Ming, I knew at a glance that he was my child. Yes, Ah Zhineng and I thought of exchanging children, and other people also wanted to have one. I just didn't expect that you would use your own child's life to exchange it. Is it worth it?"
"I can't repay the kindness that Patriarch He has shown me. This is the only thing I can do. Didn't you guys change too?"
"It's different. Zhi and I were still young at that time and could have reproduced, but we didn't intend to hurt our bodies."
"Even so, it's still your child. You must be heartbroken."
"But that's your only child."
Bai Zhi couldn't help crying.
"He will understand me." Banxia's emotions suddenly calmed down, and then she said, "In fact, the child was already dying in the womb. I used all the medical skills I learned in my life, but even my master said that there was no hope.
I originally wanted to induce an abortion, and my master also advised me against it. Later, I learned about the affairs of the head of the He family, heard that the lady was under house arrest, and saw that you were very worried.
I vaguely knew that the head of the family's child might be difficult to keep, and it would be best if he could be born. At that time, there would still be ways to help. Suddenly, I felt that the child in my belly was still useful.
I begged my master to save the baby in my belly at all costs. My master advised me that it was useless to try to save it. In the end, the baby would either be stillborn or would not live long. I said, enough is enough.
My master couldn't persuade me, so he kept the baby for me until it was born.
Looking at his livid body, dying, I already knew the outcome. When I learned that my wife had given birth to a child, I took the opportunity to hide the child and replace him. When the child died, I would do nothing but throw him into the pool.
In fact, they had already found the child, so I snatched it away and determined that it was my child. I said that I was avenging my husband and that the one who was thrown into the pond and drowned was the head of the family's child.
I admitted it firmly, my master also spoke up for me, and the head of the Qin family stepped in and punished me, and the matter was settled.
I'm not sure whether the head of the Qin family knows the inside story. I'm afraid he has guessed about the child-swap. Since the head of the Qin family helped me, he is not the kind of person who would cause trouble afterwards.
Master, did he tell you? He must have wanted you and me to reconcile, but I didn't expect that you had already swapped the child before me. I'm just as happy to save your child."
"Master actually knew it, but he didn't know it was my child." Bai Zhi held Ban Xia's hand and said, "Senior sister, please don't misunderstand. Master has always kept his promise to you."
"Then how did you know? Could it be this matter..."
"Don't panic, Senior Sister. Not many people know about this. Ah Zhi doesn't even know that Qi Ming is his son. As for the child of the head of the He family, Ah Zhi and I were afraid that if we kept him by our side, it would be too easy for others to find him, so we gave him back to Haoyue to raise. He is doing very well."
"Haoyue? Donghai Pavilion, Nangong Haoyue? She seems to have come to attend Senior Brother Qi Ming's wedding, and brought Young Pavilion Master Nangong with her. Could it be that he is..."
"Yes. In order to get Fang Yuan, we had to negotiate with Aunt Fang. We managed to get them to meet, and she organized the wedding banquet for Yuhua."
"No wonder my aunt is willing to give Fangyuan to him." Seeing Baizhi's expression becoming gloomy, Banxia couldn't help but ask, "What else is Junior Sister worried about?"
"Qi Ming hasn't told you yet, right?"
"I know that this child has something wrong, but he never told me. I also want him to go, but he is not my biological son, so I can't easily say it out loud."
"Shui Ling, that silly girl, was tricked and fell into a trap. This time, they decided to go to the Black Forest, a place from which there is no return."
"Heilin?"
"That's right. Ah Zhi also knows that he can't escape. He's not afraid, he just feels unfair for these three children. They have been bullied since they were young, and have been repeatedly plotted against. They almost lost their lives several times, and now they are being persecuted openly. Ah Zhi doesn't want any reputation, but the intention of the compound is very clear. They are clearly going to die, and even if Ah Zhi makes a big fuss, it won't change."
"I'll go there."
Baizhi held Pinellia tightly.
"It's useless. Ah Zhi and I have analyzed it. This time, they have to go. If they don't go, there will be no way for them to be Taoists in the future."
"If it's gone, it's gone. There's more than one way out in this world."
"But for them, this is the only way. When I was in Xinglin Hall, I already felt deeply that this was the only way for them. If they completely give up this thought, I guess they will never be happy in this life."
Banxia sat back in her original position.
"Are we just going to watch them die?"
"Not necessarily. Ah Zhi also said that Yuhua is brave, but he is not a person who does things without considering the consequences. Although he sometimes seems very anxious, he always thinks before doing anything. He is not such an obedient person. Moreover, Qi Ming and Shui Ling are involved in this matter. He did not resist, which is wrong. So, he may really have a way to get out of the black forest."
Bai Zhi thought about Mu Xin. She was the high priestess of Taohua Valley and had lived for who knows how long. She probably knew something about Hei Lin. As long as she was willing to take action, they had a chance of survival.
"Qi Ming probably won't go. For my sake, he might give up the path of a Taoist priest." Banxia saw Bai Zhi frowning and not speaking, and then asked: "He is your son, what do you think?"
Bai Zhi finally found out that her child was still alive, and she hadn't even met him yet. Now she had to decide whether his life or death. She had already given up on him once, so she really couldn't make a decision all of a sudden.
Banxia also said that there was still time and she could discuss it with Le Zhengzhi. Then she was about to get up and leave. At this time, Le Zhengzhi came back drunk.
He staggered to show off the bottle of wine in his hand to Bai Zhi, and happily said that he had secretly drunk all the wine that Mu Xin brought.
Seeing that he was really drunk this time, Baizhi hurried over to support him and said goodbye to Banxia embarrassedly.
Banxia said she was fine and was about to leave when Le Zhengzhi recognized her and pulled Banxia to settle the score of murder with her. Suddenly she remembered that her child was still alive, so Le Zhengzhi began to ask her where her child was.
"I didn't tell him."
"I see he is like this, I don't know what to do."
"I don't know what? Do you know the whereabouts of my son? You are such a cruel woman, but I didn't expect you to raise such a lovely son.
Qi Ming, he was drunk. Because he was worried that you would be left alone in your old age, he gave up being a Taoist priest. Do you know how difficult this was for him?
There is no way, he is filial, he is filial, how could you be so cruel to raise such a filial son? This is not fair. "
Bai Zhi couldn't hold him back, and in a hurry, she slapped him. Le Zhengzhi fell directly to the ground, still waving his limbs and shouting "This is not fair".
Baizhi couldn't help but covered her mouth and turned around to cry, so Banxia had to come over to comfort her.
"Don't mind it, Senior Sister. He's drunk."
"I don't mind it anymore. How can I mind it at this moment? He is worried about my son."
Bai Zhi knew what she meant. Le Zhengzhi didn't know that Le Zheng Qiming was his child, but under the circumstances, he was still genuinely worried about him.
However, because of this, Bai Zhi wondered if he knew, would he still let Le Zheng Qiming continue to be a Taoist? Would he break up with his family for him? For this reason, she couldn't say it out loud.
"Sister, if Qi Ming can't go, he will regret it for the rest of his life. It's fine if he doesn't know about it. I will bear the pain of separation alone."
"I understand, don't worry."
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
