After being reborn with Sister Zha, I was stunned!

Mu Beiyan accompanied Shen Qingyin and asked again from the end of the village to the beginning of the village.

Sure enough, many villagers remembered that Xiaohua had indeed been bitten on the leg by a dog.

When asked about Xiaohua's appearance in detail, it was found that she was very similar to Miaomiao, both of them had fair skin and round, black and bright eyes.

But Miaomiao has a full moon face, while Xiaohua has an oval face.

What was even more unexpected was that Xiaohua was left-handed, which was obviously different from Miaomiao.

Shen Qingyin then asked what Mr. Shen, the man who adopted Xiaohua, looked like.

Most people don't remember.

Only a little girl of about 11 or 12 years old remembered it clearly: "When the senior official reached out to pull Xiaohua, I saw a red mole on the back of his hand!"

Shen Qingyin fell silent.

There is indeed a red mole on the back of Shen Zhinian's hand...

Obviously, Shen Zhinian lied.

This lie is not simple at all, it is half true and half false, and it is weird.

If she hadn't come in person, but just sent someone to investigate, it would have been almost impossible to discover what was wrong.

It's just adopting a helpless orphan, why would you tell such a lie?

"Go back and find Shen Zhinian." Mu Beiyan also looked suspicious.

Shen Qingyin nodded.

Under the current circumstances, if one wants to find Miaomiao’s blood relatives, the only option is to confront Shen Zhinian directly; there is no way to avoid it.

The group rushed back to the capital without stopping, and it was already early the next morning.

Shen family.

Mrs. Du got up especially early today.

Having learned from yesterday's lesson, she was afraid that Shen Qingyin would ask someone to carry her again later.

I got up early to eat a full meal and go to the toilet later, just in case Zhang Mama can't send the servants of Bixiyuan away later...

While they were eating, a little girl came running over to report, "The Second Miss and General Mu barged in!"

Mrs. Du was startled, thinking that it was Shen Qingyin who came personally to pick her up to go to Baochan Temple. She immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks, lay back on the couch, and continued to pretend to be sick.

I kept muttering to myself that Shen Qingyin came too early today, it was just daybreak!

Fortunately, she was thoughtful and asked the little maid in the yard to guard outside the gate as soon as she got up.

Otherwise, you'll be caught red-handed...

But after lying there for a while, no one came.

Send someone to check again.

It is said that Shen Qingyin went to Aunt Qing's side courtyard.

Mrs. Du was stunned.

Shen Zhinian stayed at Aunt Qing's place last night!

"Go and see what happened to the Second Miss today?" Mrs. Du instructed the little girl suspiciously.

In the side courtyard, Shen Zhinian was sleeping soundly when he heard the courtyard door being slammed and immediately became angry.

How could there be someone so presumptuous in the Shen family mansion?

He put on his clothes and rushed to the yard angrily. He found that the person who came was Shen Qingyin, and he scolded him with a cold face: "Now that you have climbed up to the general's mansion, you don't even take me, your father, seriously? What are you doing so early in the morning..."

Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Mu Beiyan waiting outside the courtyard gate and changed his tone to a gentle one: "Yin'er, what's the matter?"

"There is something important, please come to the hall to talk, father." After saying this, Shen Qingyin turned around and left.

Shen Zhinian was full of doubts, but he had no choice but to dress neatly and go to the hall.

Shen Qingyin asked someone to call Mrs. Du again. Mrs. Du was not sure whether she was going to Baochan Temple, so she continued to claim to be sick.

Shen Zhinian entered the hall and bowed to Mu Beiyan. Before he even sat down, he heard Shen Qingyin ask:

"Father, where was Miaomiao adopted from?"

Shen Zhinian sat down calmly: "I told you the day before yesterday that when I was passing Baijia Village in Taoyuan County on the road..."

"She is not the kid from Baijia Village at all!" Shen Qingyin revealed directly.

Shen Zhinian was not panicked at all: "Why not? If you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate and ask the villagers whether an official named Shen adopted a helpless beggar girl in the village more than two years ago..."

"Sir Shen, this general and Miss Yin have just rushed back from Baijia Village and have already found out everything." Mu Beiyan stared at Shen Zhinian coldly.

Shen Qingyin also said, "My daughter has already found out that the girl adopted in Baijia Village is not the same person as Miaomiao. The general has already ordered several villagers who knew the situation to be brought back to Bixiyuan to identify her. Father, don't you want to tell the truth?"

Shen Zhinian's face turned pale, and he looked at Shen Qingyin in disbelief: "You, haven't you been taking care of Miaomiao in Bixiyuan?"

The day before yesterday, he specially sent someone to ask the old lady, and the old lady said with certainty that Shen Qingyin was still in Bixiyuan and had not gone out at all...

And yesterday, the servants of Bixiyuan said that they were following Shen Qingyin's orders to carry Mrs. Du's...

Shen Zhinian's face became even uglier when he realized that Shen Qingyin had played a trick and secretly went to Baijia Village.

Since when did Shen Qingyin become so wary of them?

"Hmph, you're actually on guard against your father every day!" Shen Zhinian couldn't help but said angrily.

"Don't blame me, Lord Shen. Miss Yin had no choice. She couldn't save Shen Miaomiao unless she found her blood relatives... Yin was traveling with this general. In order to avoid gossip from outsiders, this general took the initiative to take Miss Yin away quietly... Everything was arranged by this general." Mu Beiyan said without waiting for Shen Qingyin to speak.

Hearing that it was Mu Beiyan's idea, Shen Zhinian's expression relaxed.

He sat down again and sighed: "Well, since you have all heard about it, I might as well tell you the truth. Miaomiao is indeed not the girl Bai Xiaohua from Baijia Village..."

"Alas, Bai Xiaohua is a person with little luck. I felt sorry for her and wanted to take her home to take good care of her. But that day when I took her out of Taoyuan County, I just drank some tea at a roadside tea stall. When I came out of the toilet, she was gone. I looked for her everywhere but couldn't find her..."

"Two days after I returned to Yuhu County, I met Miaomiao at the gate of the City God Temple. She was also alone at the time, about the same age as Bai Xiaohua, with ragged clothes, and begging for food and drink from passers-by... I felt guilty for not taking good care of Bai Xiaohua, so I took Miaomiao home... In my heart, Miaomiao is the same as Bai Xiaohua..."

"As for where Miaomiao lives, I don't know... I guess she has no relatives. If she did, why would they let a little girl wander around out there?"

Shen Zhinian sighed after he finished speaking.

It seemed as if he was still feeling deeply guilty for not taking good care of Bai Xiaohua back then.

"If Bai Xiaohua hadn't been lost back then, she could be Miaomiao's companion now!" Shen Zhinian sighed.

"So, Miaomiao is from Yuhu County?" Shen Qingyin only asked the key points.

Miaomiao's accent is indeed from Yuhu County, but the accents of the more than ten counties in that area do not differ significantly, and the accent of a two or three-year-old child is even more difficult to distinguish.

Shen Zhinian said uncertainly: "I can't really say, anyway, I found her at the entrance of the City God Temple in the east of Yuhu County, and she was alone at the time..."

"Was father alone when he picked up Miaomiao? Was there anyone else present?" Shen Qingyin asked again.

Shen Zhinian glared: "Yin'er, what do you mean? Don't you believe what your father said?"
