"Lord, I wish to meet my child. Please allow it!"
Madame Zhou knelt two steps forward, kowtowing to the ground. With three muffled sounds, blood seeped out from her forehead.
Su Zhi could not bear to see this, so she turned her face away.
The woman kowtowed and could no longer stand steadily. She turned around and crawled towards Su Zhi while sobbing, "Madam, I beg of you, please let me see my child!"
The woman's dusty appearance looked really pitiful, but Su Zhi didn't want her child to see them.
No matter what, the Soybean Pancake had indeed been abandoned. So what if they saw it? She would not let the family take the child away.
"Lady Su, since that's the case, I think it's better if you let your child come to the court." In any case, the child does belong to someone else. "
Su Zhi was somewhat hesitant. Seeing that the Zhou family was crying pitifully, she could only agree.
The constable quickly went to Spring Leaf Lane and quickly brought the child along with him, along with his mother Ding and Jade Moon.
When she saw Su Zhi, Mother Ding hurriedly went forward to pull her back, "Madam, what's going on? "We're fine at home. Someone from the government said he wanted to see us, and said he wanted us to meet."
"I …"
Before Su Zhi could explain, Mrs. Zhou had already rushed forward and hugged the small bean bag, "Aunt Lan!"
Seeing this, Bi Yue hurriedly carried the child to the side and cautiously stared at her. "Where did this crazy woman come from? Can you even touch our Big Sister Nalan'er?"
"Miss, this is my child. Let me hug you!"
Madame Zhou looked pitifully at the bean bun, her eyes full of desire.
Su Zhi could not bear to see her kneeling and begging for mercy. She softened her attitude and said, "Just look at her, don't scare her."
She took the child and sat on a chair to one side, teasing the ignorant girl in her arms. "Little Dou Zi, where's your little rabbit?"
"I was in a hurry to go out, so I didn't bring it with me," Mother Ding answered from the side.
"En!" She nodded and wrapped her fat arms around Su Zhi's neck as she sweetly called out, "Mother ~"
Mrs Zhou was so excited that she cried, "My child can speak. Hubby, listen, she can talk!"
When he sent the child away, he also hesitated. Originally, she didn't like having a daughter and she couldn't talk, so he didn't care that much about the first child. When his mother suggested throwing away the child, he nodded and agreed.
Then he lied to his wife that the child had gone missing.
"Even if he knows how to speak, he's still a money-loser." The old woman rolled her eyes as she muttered to herself.
Dou Zi looked at Zhou Yang's tear-stained face in a daze. Her arms were wrapped around Su Zhi, making the woman's heart ache uncontrollably from looking at her obedient appearance.
"Madam, let me hold the child."
Bi Yue was displeased. "Madam, where did this woman come from? The General's Estate …" How could our young lady be so easily carried? "
"No, no, no." She turned around and put her head in Su Zhi's arms, acting like a spoiled child.
Madame Zhou pulled back her hand sadly and wiped away her tears, "It's fine if she doesn't hug me. I'll just look at her first."
Su Zhi did not make a sound. She gently patted the child in her arms and also felt upset.
This girl looked pitiful. She probably had no status at home. Judging from her domineering appearance, she must have suffered a lot.
"Big sister, if you are certain that the child is yours, I will not refute this matter. Today, you went to the government and declared your wrongdoings. You said that my husband kidnapped my child, and now you deny it because you despise your child for being unable to speak. Originally, with my character, I would not have let my child meet with any of you. But now, I see that it's not easy for you either. For you to meet her does not mean that I will return your child to you. "
Zhou Yang looked heartbroken as she looked at the bean bun. Seeing that the child didn't want to look at her, she felt even more pained in her heart.
Seeing her like this, Su Zhi could only get up and leave, "Master, this humble woman still has matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
Yu Zhi County already had a headache from this case. Seeing that Su Zhi was about to leave, they took the opportunity to say, "Let's end this matter here. The three of you don't need to tell anyone else. You lost your child and the villain sues you first. Truly!"
After Zhi Prefecture left, she slapped him with her palm, fiercely warning him, "How many times have I told you this? The reason we came here this time, why are you always doing bad things?"
When they were in Zhou Village, someone found them and said that they would give them a large sum of money on the condition that they go to Xuan City and find someone called Su Zhi. They said that she had kidnapped their own child and would go to the government to sue her. As long as he sent her to prison, he would be able to get his money.
The old granny of the Zhou family did not care about the little girl who had been abandoned, but coveted the silver. Thus, she brought her family to Xuan City.
Who knew that the girl called Su Zhi was not to be trifled with? She had run away for nothing this time.
"Weeping all day long? Do you want to curse me to death?"
"Enough, Mother." Please do not be angry, Xiao Cui has not seen her child for a long time and is sad.
"Just get used to her! What hope did she have now that she would be wasting her time at home? "Go back and quickly divorce her. Mother will find you another suitable one."
The man didn't say anything. He helped the swearing old mistress walk away, leaving behind the reluctant woman. She stared at Su Zhi's side, unwilling to move.
Her mother finally figured out the ins and outs of the situation. She had been mistaken about the relationship between them the entire time. When she heard Little Dou Bao call Xiao Gan's father, she instinctively thought that this child was Xiao Qian, but in the end, it wasn't.
Bi Yue noticed her displeasure, so she silently pulled at the corner of her clothes and lightly shook her head with a glance.
"Madam …"
Even if Jade Moon tried to stop him, she still couldn't help it.
Su Zhi turned around with the child in her arms and looked at her, "What's wrong?"
"If my wife asks, if Sister Lan isn't my general's flesh and blood, then what about Brother Jin?"
Mrs Ding had long since noticed that her child didn't resemble Xiao Qian. Especially the few times they had come here, she had actually called him 'Uncle Xiao'. She had originally thought that they were listening to him, but now, it seemed that neither of the two children were his.
"Not his." Su Zhi calmly replied.
Mother Ding seemed to have been greatly stimulated. Her face changed as she covered her heart, unable to utter a word.
She had fallen out with the madame and was willing to follow Xiao Qian to Spring Leaf Lane, but those two children were not the generals of her family.
Was Xiao Qian helping him raise a son?
Bi Yue tightly held onto her mother's hand, not daring to let her ask any further questions.
How could a servant have the right to talk about a master's affairs?
Xiao Qian told them to come to the courtyard and wait upon him. The only thing they could do was to serve their master with all their might.
"Mom Ding."
Su Zhi put down the small bean bag and walked in front of her while holding her hand, but she still turned around and smiled at her in a friendly manner, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to serve in the courtyard if you're not worthy of the general. You just need to return to the Xiao family, I won't say a single extra word to the general."
Mother Ding lowered her head, her face full of wrinkles.
Having spent so much time with Su Zhi, she had always felt that this girl had a kind face and lived in a comfortable place. She had never put on airs and that there wasn't much difference between master and servant between the two of them.
A Jin and Little Dou Bao were both smart and clever, so she had long since relaxed and tried her best to serve them.
Now that the truth was revealed, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Rest assured, I will tell the general that you are too old to look after these two little monkeys. As for Bi Yue and Dan Xue, whether they go or stay, I won't stop them either. If we return together, then I'll say that they are unwilling to part with you. "
"Madam, I …"
