Translator: Endless?antasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both felt that this couple, who had always been servants of the Wei Family for a long time, should know whether Wei Zizhan was biological or not, as well as the matter of putting a child at the door back then and then getting lost.
“When this couple left the Wei family, I saw everything that happened.
“They had to pitifully leave. I heard that they didn’t even get money as compensation. I felt sorry for them. I just happened to have some copper coins on me, so I wanted to give them some before they leave. They didn’t want it and even cried, saying that it was retribution and they shouldn’t take my money.
“l asked them what retribution they got. Did they do something bad? They told me that someone threw a child at the Wei family’s door. The servant who was guarding the entrance apparently saw a child at the door and quickly carried it in for Master Wei to see.’
What?!
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan immediately looked at each other. They did not expect to hear this from someone else today.
Doctor Shen saw them like this and did not ask anything. He only carefully observed them.
“The servant happened to have no children with his wife, so he wanted them to adopt the baby.” Da Yong continued, “But because they are servants and the monthly allowance they get is pitifully small, how can they raise a child? They barely manage to survive on their own, how would the child fare? So, they threw the child away.”
After a pause, Da Yong continued, “l heard from the servant that when he lost the child, his conscience felt uneasy. He felt that no matter what, it was still a child and a life. What if no one found the baby? So, the servant placed the child in a particularly conspicuous place and hid not far away to watch. Only when the child was adopted did he feel relieved and go back. Now that Master Wei had asked them to leave the Wei family, they felt that this was retribution for this matter. They said that he should not have abandoned this child.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other again — they had to find this couple.
Then, Jiang Yue asked, “Do you know where they are now?”
“l don’t.” Da Yong shook his head. “However, when I asked them where they planned to go, they all said that they were old and definitely couldn’t go to places far away. They couldn’t afford to stay in town either and didn’t have that much money. They wanted to see which village around them could sell them a house at a cheaper price. At least they could have a place to live.” “What about their names? Do you know what they look like?” Xue Yan also asked.
Doctor Shen also looked at Da Yong.
Da Yong replied, “Originally, they were sold to the Wei family. Their surname should be Wei. However, the Wei family returned the contract to them and made them leave the Wei family. I don’t know what their surname is anymore. In terms of names, when I met them in the past, I called them the same as the servants of the Wei family. They should respond to the names Laicai and
Xiuhua.’
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both memorized these two names in their hearts.
There were no other questions to ask Da Yong, so Jiang Yue and Xue Yan turned to Doctor Shen.
Doctor Shen stroked his beard and nodded. He then instructed Da Yong not to tell anyone about what happened today. He also told Da Yong not to say anything if someone asked Da Yong about this in the future. Da Yong agreed and then he left..
