Chapter 298 The old man doubts Su Qiran's life experience
"It's Nanny Li, the Nanny Li who has always taken good care of Su Qiran."
The old man saw that Jiang Shuyuan was confused and couldn't guess who it was, so he directly announced the answer.
"How come?"
Jiang Shuyuan blinked, her eyes full of confusion, as if she had never thought that the rumors back then were caused by Grandma Li.
"If I remember correctly, Grandma Li had been in our house for less than a year at that time. She had never even met Taotao. How could she target Taotao for no reason?"
At that time, Taotao and Grandma Li didn't know each other at all.
If it were now, it could be said that Grandma Li and Su Qiran had a good relationship, so Grandma Li targeted Taotao for Su Qiran.
But Nanny Li and Su Qiran had only been together for less than a year. How could she target Taotao for a baby who couldn't even speak?
No matter how you look at this, something is wrong!
"I asked someone to investigate this matter some time ago."
Although the old man has been out of business for many years, he still has the acumen he deserves.
After he found out the identity of Grandma Li, he did not continue to investigate further.
Now it seems that there are still many secrets hidden in Grandma Li.
Her inexplicable loyalty and care for Su Qiran made the old man feel that something was wrong the more he thought about it recently.
Back then, Su Qiran was abandoned at the door of Su's house. She didn't think much about it at first, she just thought it was a coincidence.
Now it seems that it may not be a coincidence, but someone knew that Taotao was sent away. Jiang Shuyuan could not afford to be ill because of this incident, so she took a gamble on Su Qiran.
As long as Jiang Shuyuan can like Su Qiran, then it is a certainty that Su Qiran will stay in the Su family.
In all likelihood, they were tricked into adopting Su Qi Ran!!
"Before she came to the Su family, Grandma Li was a slave in the house of the general who planned to rebel. She had a deep master-servant relationship with the general's wife. Your Majesty was kind and did not offend these innocent slaves."
"This is also the reason why I found out Grandma Li's identity and didn't drive her away."
After all, His Majesty doesn't mind, and there is no need for him to kill a woman's family.
Who knew that a moment of soft-heartedness could bring so much trouble to the Su family!!
"As far as I know, the general's wife was pregnant at the time and was not far away from giving birth."
"It's just that when he died, the body didn't look like what a pregnant person should look like. If that face hadn't been there, one would have wondered whether the general's wife had used a trick to escape the golden cicada."
"I heard from the servants of the General's Mansion that the general's wife was so excited that she gave birth prematurely when she learned the bad news that her husband had an accident, and the child did not survive."
Speaking of this, a glint flashed in the old man's eyes.
Why didn't he think something was wrong in the first place?
"But when I think about it recently, I always feel like something is wrong."
"Even if the child was born prematurely and did not survive, what about the body of the child?"
At that time, I heard that the servants said that the child had not survived, so he buried it hastily.
The officials who went to arrest the traitors were not so crazy as to dig out the buried children's bones for confirmation, so the matter just passed.
Now he makes a bold guess, just in case...
What if the child didn’t die at all?!
If the child hadn't died, he would have been about the same age as Su Qiran.
Are there really such coincidences in this world?
Su Qiran happened to be about the same age as the general's son who was heard to be dead. Aunt Li was still a servant in the general's family back then. Aunt Li was extremely loyal to Su Qiran.
All these coincidences come together!!
"I remember that Su Qiran's health was not good in the first few years after you adopted her."
"The doctor said she was born with a birth defect. She was born prematurely and suffered frostbite because she was left on the street in the winter, so she needs to be taken good care of."
The old man looked at Jiang Shuyuan and asked with deep eyes.
"right."
Jiang Shuyuan didn't understand how the matter suddenly transferred from Grandma Li to Su Qiran.
Her mind couldn't think of it for a moment, so she just nodded blankly to show that the old man remembered it correctly.
The doctor who took Su Qiran's pulse did indeed say that Su Qiran's pulse and physical condition seemed to be symptoms of a premature infant.
So when Su Qiran was little, she raised her very carefully, fearing that if Su Qiran was not careful, she would die.
"I have a wild guess."
The old man looked at Jiang Shuyuan and slowly spoke his thoughts.
"What if Grandma Li's kindness and loyalty to Su Qiran is not because of her affinity, but because Su Qiran should have been her loyal little master?"
"Wha...what?"
Jiang Shuyuan and He Zhixin were both a little unable to react, and stammered and asked what the old man was talking about?
"Dad, do you mean that Qi Ran might be the daughter of the general who intends to rebel?"
Jiang Shuyuan covered her mouth and asked in disbelief.
How could such a ridiculous thing happen!!
"This is ridiculous!!"
"Back then, His Majesty had decreed that the Yi tribe should be killed. The general's father, brother and son were all killed. How could Qi Ran be the child of a traitor?!"
Dad's guess is too bold!
If Qi Ran is the child of a traitor, then wouldn’t the Su family be doomed because of their adoption of Su Qi Ran?!
Even if they didn't know Su Qiran's identity back then, it would have been impossible to escape this crime.
"I just said that before Grandma Li came to our house, she was the general's wife's personal nanny. I heard that she was very loyal to the general's wife."
"Su Qiran was born prematurely, and the approximate time estimate is accurate. Moreover, Grandma Li's extremely loyal attitude towards Su Qiran is very problematic no matter how you look at it."
The old man didn't want his guess to be true. After all, if Su Qiran was really the general's child, the Su family would also have to pay the price for adopting Su Qiran.
As for the size of this price, it depends on what His Majesty has in mind.
"However, this matter is unfounded and I am just guessing. Whether it is true or not remains to be considered."
Although the old man made a bold guess, he would not accuse someone casually without evidence.
"I have asked someone to investigate this matter. I believe there will be an answer in the near future."
Having said this, the old man looked at Jiang Shuyuan.
"I'll start with my ugly words. I don't have any objection to how much you love Su Qiran on weekdays. As long as it's not excessive, I'm not too lazy to take action."
"But if Su Qiran is really the descendant of a traitor, as I guess, the Su family will never allow her to stay here."
