Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1726: Chapter 1728: Confirming Little Liufu’s Identity

Just like that, the second-in-command spilled everything.

Regarding this matter, Chu Lian had some speculations in his heart. After sending off Xue Zhiyi and the others, he wrote a letter with great urgency, instructing Acheng to travel overnight and deliver it personally to the Prime Minister at the Prime Minister Residence.

The letter’s main content was about the Empress framing Concubine Ling.

Upon receiving the letter, the Prime Minister Residence had already made a decision, determined to bring down the Empress and reduce the power of those surrounding her.

Soon, the people sent to investigate Yang Ming’s movements returned.

"Young master, about five months ago, indeed Yang Ming and his wife brought a child about two months old to the Medicine King Valley seeking medical help. It is said that they pleaded outside the valley for days and nights before finally being allowed in, but the people inside were helpless with the child’s illness, so they suggested taking the child outside to find the Divine Doctor Xue..."

"On the road, they encountered difficulties. In a certain village, the villagers contracted a strange disease and blamed them for bringing bad luck. They were nearly burned by fire and were trapped there for some time. After escaping, they heard news of the Divine Doctor Xue and went, only to be robbed by bandits and it was said by villagers there that they encountered hungry wolves on the mountain and almost died..."

The messenger reported in great detail, even explaining why the Medicine King Valley practiced medicine, how they escaped when trapped, and what the villagers said about Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao. It was all laid out.

Chu Lian was utterly astonished upon hearing this.

He didn’t know that a few months ago, these two had endured so much hardship.

This made him somewhat admire them.

With Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao’s intelligence, although they might not know the exact identity of the child, they should have guessed something. The child was no ordinary family child.

This could lead to a mortal disaster; one misstep, and the entire family could be in danger.

However, not only were they unafraid, but they also went to such lengths for the child.

They did not abandon a dying child.

For such a child, they suffered so much, even nearly losing their lives.

This is closer than biological parents.

Think of the child’s biological father, that noble person, what had he done?

He actually wanted to completely eradicate them!

They say that even a tiger wouldn’t eat its own cub!

But he did.

Unconsciously, his hands tightened. No need to investigate further.

Without a doubt, Little Liufu is his sister’s child.

All of this is evidence; the Divine Doctor Xue and the Imperial Bodyguard wouldn’t lie.

Thinking of that child.

His heart ached!

Such a young child, suffering so much right after birth.

Fortunately, he met people who treated him well, who treated him as their own son.

His emotions were uncontrollable; he wanted to find someone to share, to share this newfound joy, the joy of finding the child.

His steps quickly reached the Chu Mansion.

Entering the courtyard, he shouted, "Father, Mother, Xiaohuan, beloved wife..."

The shouts echoed throughout the Chu Mansion, over and over again.

Everyone was thus called out by Chu Lian, wondering what on earth had happened, why there’s such urgency, and why the usually composed Chu Lian seemed so excited?

Not only the Chu Family members, but even the servants had never seen such a young master, each looking at each other, unsure of what to do.

When a member of the Chu Family came out, expecting something serious to have happened, they saw excitement and a smile on Chu Lian’s face, which only puzzled them further, so they began to ask one by one.

"What on earth has happened?"

"Yes, husband, is there some good news?"
