Chapter 135 Double Skin Milk (3)
"I'll let you look at one person first," Lin Fei said.
The woman who was brought in has been washed up, and the scratches on her body have been treated. Her long braids are combed behind her head, and her facial features are gentle and calm. From a casual look, she is just an ordinary, gentle and quiet woman. Just a woman.
But the premise of all this is not to look at her obviously wandering and dull eyes.
Holding the ribbon on the braid in his hand, he hummed the song "Ruan Shiniang" in a low voice. The song was still the same, and the singer was still the same, but it was probably because he changed from the haunted Qiude Temple to the Dali Temple Prison. Because of this, after changing the place, the song no longer seems sad and melodious, but has a different cheerful tone.
Looking at the woman humming "Ruan Shiniang" in a low voice, Jinghui and Zhuang Meiniang were startled at first. They didn't think anything of it at first, they just felt that the woman in front of them was inexplicably kind.
When the woman was playing with the braid in her hand and humming softly, the two of them once again turned their attention to the woman in front of them. The more they looked at her, the more they felt that the kind-faced woman in front of them had an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if she was somewhere else. I’ve seen it in general.
"Cover her eyes." Lin Fei said.
Wen Mingtang said "hmm" and raised his hand to cover the eyes of the woman who lowered her eyes and hummed, so that only the lower half of the woman's face was exposed.
The familiar feeling of deja vu suddenly came over her. Zhuang Meiniang opened her mouth and blurted out: "Sister?"
Jinghui's face suddenly changed.
Seeing this, Wen Mingtang covered the lower half of the woman's face without waiting for Lin Fei to speak. Her delicate eyebrows were slightly drooped. After looking at it for a moment, Jinghui said with a white face, "It looks like... I'm really like that heartless man." Similar!"
Such a face that mixed the features of a rouge lady and a heartless scholar suddenly appeared in front of me. Combined with what Lin Fei said earlier, "What if this child has been exchanged since he was a child?", an incredible guess Take shape in your heart.
"She...Miss..." Jinghui opened her mouth, but suddenly realized that she couldn't say anything for a moment. She just looked at the woman in front of her and shook her head instinctively, "How...how could..."
"Shortly after Madam Rouge got married to the Bo Qing Shu, the Bo Qing Shu fell in love with a romantic woman, right?" Lin Fei held the dossier of Madam Rouge's murder in his hand and said, "Women in the romantic court are not easily tempted. , but once tempted, she is often more paranoid than ordinary women. The ruthless scholar just had a fling, but the romantic woman was moved by her, and came to see Madam Rouge again and again, asking Madam Rouge to make peace with the scholar."
"Mrs. Rouge was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to break up with the callous scholar. But how could the scholar agree?" Lin Fei analyzed, "As far as the scholar is concerned, a woman like Madam Rouge has a skill and is good at it. As someone with a serious career and money, being a wife is naturally the best. He can have a romantic relationship with a romantic woman, but he will never marry a romantic woman. What's more, the romantic woman has a paranoid attitude. How can the rouge lady be easy to coax? He really wants to marry that romantic woman. How can he still have a good life when the romantic woman is together?"
"Under such circumstances, he simply took out Madam Rouge, saying that Madam Rouge was already pregnant and could not refuse the romantic woman." Lin Fei said, "Such a coward's behavior is despicable to ordinary people. But that romantic woman, whether because she was too paranoid or because she was really jealous of the scholar, actually started to hate Madam Rouge. I heard that she even came to the door with a pregnant belly and made trouble..."
Jinghui and Zhuang Meiniang knew this.
"That's what happened!" Jinghui murmured, "The romantic woman named Qingyue came to make trouble, but later she heard that she was ill and stopped coming."
In fact, it can be seen from this incident that the scholar is no longer a good person, but Madam Rouge was already pregnant at that time. She probably thought that the scholar would become better after having a child, so she forgave the scholar.
"My sister was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to a girl." When Zhuang Meiniang said this, she couldn't help but frown, "We have watched this child grow up..."
"Is the midwife who delivered your sister's baby a stranger, someone she pulled from the street?" Lin Fei asked Zhuang Meiniang.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two of them changed slightly. After a pause, Jinghui trembled her lips and said: "Miss was having a difficult delivery at the time. It was snowing heavily at the end of the year and she couldn't find anyone. It happened that a woman from out of town came knocking on the door. When Bi Xue heard that the young lady was having difficulty giving birth, she said that she was a midwife and stepped forward to help..."
It was snowing heavily again, there were many things to do, and women from wealthy families were eager to come to get rouge, so Jinghui and Zhuang Meiniang were not in the house for a while.
When she got back from her busy work, Madam Rouge had already gone to bed after giving birth, and the baby was a girl. Later, Madam Rouge didn't say anything when she woke up. They had never thought about the child being exchanged.
"Could it be that my sister's child has been exchanged?" Zhuang Meiniang looked at the woman humming a tune in front of her, feeling inexplicably sour in her heart.
The way this woman's eyes were wandering, she didn't look like a normal person at first glance.
"It has been too long, and the midwife has been nowhere to be found. Madam Rouge and the scholar are also dead." Lin Fei said, "But Master Jingxin, you two should know about it!"
When the two heard this, their faces were slightly startled. After a moment of pause, Jinghui said: "Master Jingxin... just... think of him as a good person!"
Lin Fei thought for a while and said: "Generally speaking, he is a good person!"
"After all, he saved her," Lin Fei said, glancing at the woman humming a tune on the side, "I don't think that the Fengyue woman's hatred for Madam Rouge will keep Madam Rouge's child alive, so, as He took action to stop the romantic woman, took the child away and raised her well."
"More than that, when Master Jingxin was alive, did he often call Jing'an to talk about Buddhism?" Lin Fei said, "He was the first to notice the face that Jing'an was hiding, so he hoped to awaken Jing'an's conscience with Buddhism."
It's a pity that this pure heart master still failed. When he was alive, he was able to suppress Jing'an for a while, but when he died, Jing'an started killing people.
But fortunately, Master Jingxin still saved a trick and didn't teach Jing'an to become any great master. He only gave him the power to protect himself.
As for why Jingxin takes care of these two children like this...
"The romantic woman named Qingyue had an older brother who became a monk in her early years in order to study Buddhism. Since there was no father or brother to support her family, and she did not have the craftsmanship to make a living like Lady Rouge, she fell into prostitution. She became a romantic woman. When Jingxin wandered for half her life, she returned to Chang'an and saw her falling into such a situation. She felt guilty and felt that she was worthy of the Buddha but not worthy of her family. From then on, she began to take care of Qingyue and these two people. A child." Lin Fei said.
