Chapter 52: Mo You will soon forget that he was saddened by the tragedy of a family of three
Su Qian's words broke the heavy atmosphere. Manager Zhao became even more anxious. He raised his foot and kicked the already dead Shaoyao. After realizing that she really didn't respond, he quickly called for someone.
"You two, yes, that's you two, go to Shaoyao's house and see if there are any clues! You also come here, come and search her to see if there are any clues on her!"
Manager Zhao was extremely anxious. There were thousands of pills in this batch. If they were really lost, he would not be able to pay back even if they were sold!
"We have already looked for Shaoyao's house, but there is none." Sun Yunmeng said so, but Manager Zhao did not give up and insisted on going to look for it.
Su Qi'an was so calm. He looked at Mo You at this time and asked her with a smile on his face.
"Junior sister, didn't you say you could see what happened? Come on, tell me, where is that batch of pills?"
Su Qian reached out to grab Mo You, but Mo You reached out and opened his hand.
The eyes of everyone present fell on Mo You, who was only five years old. Mo You spoke very calmly.
"That batch of pills is in the city lord's mansion, and the mastermind is the second sister of the city lord's wife."
"Impossible!" Unexpectedly, the first person to deny it was Manager Zhao. Manager Zhao looked at Mo You very excitedly, with a little malice in his eyes.
"You're talking nonsense. How can a little kid talk nonsense?"
Su Qian looked at the excited Manager Zhao, then approached Mo You with a smile.
"Junior sister, look, Manager Zhao said you were talking nonsense. Tell me, senior brother, are you talking nonsense?"
Nonsense?
No, the information she gets from her feet on the ground may be limited, but it will definitely not be wrong!
"The first child of Manager Zhao and Mrs. Liu, the second sister of the City Lord's wife, was adopted by Mrs. Liu. That child belongs to the City Lord and his concubine. She is not pregnant."
As soon as these words came out, Su Qi'an whistled slowly, and Manager Zhao froze on the spot, his mind quickly flashed through the previous scenes, and the child who looked more and more like the city lord...
…
"The city lord's wife is also an insider about the elixir. Mrs. Liu threatened the city lord's wife to keep it secret for her. The child was given to Mrs. Liu by the city lord's wife."
The two big melons were so shocking that Manager Zhao didn’t know what to do!
Manager Zhao doesn't like his eldest son because he looks more and more like the city lord, so he has doubts about the child's identity. However, for the sake of his second son with good spiritual roots and his well-behaved and obedient little daughter, he
Manager Zhao did not care about the eldest son with Mrs. Liu.
However, who would have thought that there is such a story in it!
Manager Zhao believed it in his heart. After all, as a person involved, he could see clearly that many flaws would make sense if this were the case.
But Manager Zhao still didn't want to admit this.
"You, you must be talking nonsense. Where is the evidence? Where is the elixir? Where is that batch of elixirs? Yes, you haven't said where those batches of elixirs are!"
"In the private treasury of the city lord's palace, in a wooden storage ring."
Mo You spoke so firmly that he even explained clearly where he hid the magical weapons and the stored magic weapons. Now even Su Qi'an stopped talking.
This matter still needs to be verified. Su Qi'an stood up directly. As a monk in the Nascent Soul Stage, Su Qi'an needed to go to the City Lord's Mansion at this time!
Su Qi'an's trip didn't take long. It took less than a quarter of an hour. Su Qi'an came back with the wooden storage ring. At the same time, he was followed by an extraordinary middle-aged man.
.
This middle-aged man is the city lord of this city, a monk in the early stage of Jindan. As soon as he came in, his eyes fell on Mo You and he spoke directly to the point.
"Where is Mrs. Liu?"
Mo You stared at the middle-aged man for two breaths, then turned away.
Mo You's uncooperative attitude made the middle-aged man frown in dissatisfaction. He was about to take two steps forward to question Mo You, but was stopped by Su Qian.
"If you have anything to say, please tell me. She is my junior sister who has not yet become a disciple."
The middle-aged man bowed his hand to Su Qi'an and did not come forward again, but he was still aggressive towards Mo Youshi.
"Tell me where that bitch Liu is!"
It's not good to know too much, especially when Mo You doesn't want to talk.
The middle-aged man waited, but did not get Mo You's answer, which made the middle-aged man even more unhappy.
"Kid, harboring a criminal is a serious crime!"
The city lord and his wife were both monks. The city lord’s wife did not want to harm her cultivation to give birth to an heir. The city lord and his mortal concubine worked hard for many years before they gave birth to a child. However, this child was born with dystocia, killing one and two.
, the city lord was almost desperate for his offspring. Who would have thought that after all the twists and turns, the child actually survived!
The city lord was eager to retrieve the child, but Mrs. Liu heard the news and hid the child with her. He went to question the city lord's wife. She found that the city lord's wife was in the later stage of Jindan and was not worthy of him. In the end, he could only follow Su.
Qi'an came to see Mo You, who claimed to be able to see what happened in the past.
To be honest, Mo You didn't want to talk to this city lord.
But Su Qian, who was playing with the ring, was not on Mo You's side.
"Little Junior Sister, if you see that the city lord is so anxious, just tell him."
After Mo You glanced at Su Qi'an, he hesitated and finally spoke about the origin of this matter.
The wife of the city lord and the city lord can only be regarded as collaborators who treat each other as guests. The wife of the city lord is surnamed Liu, and she is a scion of the largest family surnamed Liu in the city. The marriage between the wife of the city lord and the city lord can be regarded as a strong alliance, and the two have no emotional basis.
However, on the eve of their marriage, the city lord's wife became pregnant, and the child was not his. The two negotiated and the city lord agreed that the city lord's wife would give birth to the child, and then the child would be raised by her second sister.
The father of this child is the son of the city lord's wife and her male favorite. Originally, the city lord's wife was a strong contender to be the next head of the Liu family. Female heirs can give birth to healthy heirs as soon as possible, which is an advantage for female heirs, so this
There is nothing shameful about the child, this is a routine practice for female heirs of a cultivating family.
Her later marriage to the city lord was not a conspiracy, it was just because she was the only female heir with spiritual roots in her generation.
Originally this was not a big deal, but the bad thing is that this city lord has a father who thinks long term.
At that time, his father was dying, and he was eager to let the city lord succeed him. However, the city lord's level was still low and he could not convince the public, so he was allowed to marry the Liu family in the city.
Everything was agreed upon at that time, but secretly the old city lord was afraid that the city lord's wife would be biased towards his eldest son in the future. Especially since the eldest son's spiritual roots were detected after he was born, the old city lord would not be able to keep the child.
Before the old city lord died, he asked someone to steal the child, but he didn't want to be hit by someone on the way. The man panicked and took the child into the river together!
The child was successfully fished out, but the child was too young and had a high fever that wouldn't go down. He eventually became a fool and suffered from lung problems. He was raised for another two years, but in the end he died.
The old city lord died before this child. After the city lord succeeded to the throne, he found out about this and did not tell the city lord's wife. Instead, he silently cleaned up his father's affairs and killed all the people who were in charge of this matter and transferred the others away.
, as if this never happened.
But they didn't know that the child thief was not dead, so the city lord's wife knew everything about it!
I just want to talk about hate, but there isn't much.
Although this child was born to the city lord’s wife in ten months of pregnancy, how much emotion does it have? There really isn’t.
It would be better to say that the city lord's wife felt pity for such a spiritually gifted child.
The wife of the city lord is a qualified heir to the family head. She did not steal the city lord's child out of revenge. She just stole the child with the idea that if the city lord's family killed one of her children, they would have to compensate her for one of her children.
The city lord’s concubines are all unfavored girls from the Liu family who have no spiritual roots. This child, the city lord’s wife, feels at ease and treats him kindly. Although Mo You didn’t say it directly, anyone can see it. Mo You
She is on the side of the city lord's wife.
Mo You made it clear about the relationship between them in a few words. To be honest, if we didn't consider stealing the child, everyone would still sympathize with the city lord's wife.
It's just that the city lord who gave birth to such a child couldn't sympathize with the city lord's wife and was very angry.
"The child is not a thing, how can it be used as compensation!" The city lord was furious and felt that Mo You was unreasonable.
As for Mo You, she is also very direct.
"Mrs. Liu and the City Lord's wife treat him very well, and he also likes Mrs. Liu and the City Lord's wife very much."
The city lord's face turned red with anger after hearing this.
"She has no good intentions!"
As I said before, the city lord's wife is an ambitious and qualified heir to the family head.
The city lord only had one child, and she was good to that child. If she said she had no other intentions, no one would believe her.
But this matter, no matter what, the city lord ignored it. The city lord’s wife had a child, and she could still treat the child as her own, so Mo You didn’t want to betray her.
At this moment, the anger in Mo You's heart over the tragic death of the little girl had not subsided, so she instinctively sided with the wife of the city lord who had died.
Mo You showed an attitude of not telling her what she liked. The city lord was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick because Bai Yu Pavilion was not able to be rough with Mo You.
When Su Qian arrived, he tossed the ring on his hand and said with a smile.
"I don't care where the child is, but I still want to tell you where the little junior sister Mrs. Liu is. After all, we at Baiyu Pavilion still have to settle the matter with her about this batch of pills."
Mo You thought about it for a while, and then readily told her an address, and even Mrs. Liu's disguised identity.
Mo You said it so happily that the city lord suspected a fraud, so he sent his cronies to follow the people from Baibao Pavilion to find Mrs. Liu, and then they actually found her!
It's just that only Mrs. Liu was found, and the city lord's son was not with Mrs. Liu.
When the city lord saw Mrs. Liu, he quickly asked about the whereabouts of his child. Mrs. Liu was not Mo You. Mrs. Liu didn't want to suffer the physical pain, so she told the city lord that the child had been picked up by the city lord's wife.
After knowing the answer, the city lord didn't wait for a moment and took the people back to the house without stopping.
After the city lord left, Mo You looked at Mrs. Liu and shook her head regretfully.
"You betrayed your sister, and your sister will no longer care about you."
Mrs. Liu glanced at Mo You, the smile on her face was a bit playful.
"When children grow up, they must recognize their ancestors and return to their clan. Little baby, it's not something you, a child, can see through."
Mo You was not angry when Mrs. Liu condescendingly looked down upon her. Playing with the golden mud in his hand, Mo You's eyes fell on the man who had made no sound while hugging the urn of his wife and daughter.
No one paid attention to this poor man. Even when he curled up and made no sound, no monk in the room noticed.
The gold clay in Mo You's hand turned into the appearance of the family of three in her hands. In her ears, she heard the voice of Manager Zhao questioning Mrs. Liu, and also asking her about the details and purpose of stealing the elixir, but Mo You didn't care about these.
, all she could see in her eyes was the happy-looking golden dolls of a family of three, and the gradually fading, helpless and pitiful emotions.
