Everyone was seated in the main hall, the atmosphere was a bit cold and awkward.

Taodong has been looking at Ye Zhizhou sadly, with a look of wanting to care but not daring.

On the way here, Shen Tingwei roughly figured out the matter of the substitute marriage, and also saw Ye Zhizhou's dislike for his biological mother, Aunt Tao, so he said with a cold face again, "Father-in-law let the aunt welcome the guests, why do you still let the aunt treat the guests?" ?”

Zou Qing's face darkened when he heard this, and he glared at Taodong, "Why are you still here! Go down and ask the servants to bring you tea!"

Taodong grabbed the handkerchief to suppress his emotions, got up with a low eyebrow, took his leave and left.When she was leaving, she purposely walked around to Ye Zhizhou and patted him on the shoulder lightly, and gave him a meaningful look.

Ye Zhizhou pretended not to see it, and sat down beside Shen Tingwei, pretending to be quiet.

After the people left, Zou Qing sorted out his emotions, and spoke first, "Little General Shen..."

"Father-in-law doesn't have to be so polite, you can just call me Tingwei." Shen Tingwei interrupted him, saluted again and said, "I have been recuperating from my injuries before, so I can't bring Xiaoqing back to have a look. I hope my father-in-law will not be offended."

Zou Qing felt uncomfortable when he called his father-in-law, turned his eyes to Ye Zhizhou sideways, frowned habitually and put on his strict father's face, "Qing'er, if you want to come back with Shen... if you want to come back with Tingwei, why don't you send him back?" Let me tell you in advance, father should make preparations early, so as not to neglect the distinguished guests."

"I wanted to give Xiaoqing a surprise, so I didn't tell him in advance." Shen Tingwei took the blame forcefully, and brought the topic to government affairs very bluntly, "The emperor seems to be investigating the Huainan Salt Gang these days. Have you heard of it?"

Zou Qing's complexion suddenly changed. The Huainan Salt Gang has a lot of household cancers, and some of them were promoted by him. If the emperor really plans to clean up there... He looked at Shen Tingwei inquiringly, but saw that the other party was still the same With a cold face that didn't show any emotions, he turned his mind, and said to Ye Zhizhou with a relaxed expression, "Qing'er, you have come back after a long time, so don't delay with your father, go and see your mother."

This is to let yourself talk about business.Ye Zhizhou hurriedly grabbed Shen Tingwei who wanted to stop the conversation, got up and said goodbye, "Then Qing'er will be excused first, father, husband, please talk slowly." After speaking, he broke away from the thief hand held by Shen Tingwei and saluted in a hurry, turned around and looked like Calm but eagerly walked towards Yuan Hui's yard.He came to the Zou Mansion to make a big fuss, how could he continue spending time with Zou Qing.

When he walked to the entrance of the garden, he felt Taodong's breath in his mental power net, and frowned. He called a servant of the Zou family to stop and explained a few words, then changed his way and walked towards Yuan Hui's yard.

The gate of Yuan Hui's courtyard was closed, and it was not as lively as the original owner remembered.

After he knocked on the door, he waited for a while before opening the courtyard door, and the person who opened the door just said, "Who are you with a very bad attitude?"Too lazy to entangle with these difficult servants, he directly opened the way with his mental strength, and walked unimpededly to the small Buddhist hall where Yuan Hui was imprisoned.Yuan Hui's personal nanny tried to stop him, but he put it down with a simple and rude pill.Yuan Hui in the Buddhist hall heard the movement and came out just in time to see the scene where the nanny fell to the ground. She was so frightened that she opened her mouth to scream, but Ye Zhizhou quickly stepped forward and covered her.

"Mother, do you still remember that when I was young, I hid in your sedan chair and followed you to Baiyun Temple to offer incense?"

Yuan Hui froze, looked at him with wide eyes, then struggled violently after seeing his appearance, and called him "Zou Qing" vaguely.

Ye Zhizhou frowned, searched the original owner's memory, and continued, "When I was three years old, I tore up my father's painting. It was my mother who helped me cover it up, and lied to my father that a wild cat came in and broke it."

Yuan Hui stopped struggling and looked at him in shock.Only she and Qingqing should know about this matter, how could Zou Qing...

Seeing her thoughts at a glance, he continued, "When I was three and a half years old, I wet my brother's bed when I took a nap in his bed. I was afraid that you would make fun of me, so I accused my brother of peeing, which caused my brother to be scolded by his father." Meal."

"Another time during Chinese New Year, I smashed your dressing box..."

……

One thing after another, one after another, Yuan Hui completely quieted down, staring at him blankly, with doubts and bewilderment in her eyes.

"Mother, believe it or not, I am Zou Qing, and the one you sent to the countryside is Zou Qing." He slowly released his hand covering her mouth, looked into her eyes and said seriously, " When I was four years old, Taodong deliberately took me to meet a patient who had smallpox, and then pretended that Zou Qing was also infected with smallpox, and encouraged my grandma to send me and Zou Qing to the countryside. Half a month later, Taodong also came to the countryside, and she made me wear Zou Qing's clothes, repeatedly rubbed the face-changing potion on my face, and brainwashed me into thinking that I was Zou Qing."

Yuan Hui opened her mouth, and the blankness in her eyes turned into shock.

He took out the beauty pill to show her, and then pointed to his own face, "This face is fake, it was made by Taodong with potion. A while ago, I recalled my childhood memories and realized Taodong's conspiracy , so I tried to get the antidote to restore my appearance, mother, I am really Zou Qing."

"Are you... Qingqing?" Yuan Hui hesitated and stretched out her hand to touch his face, stopped halfway, and shook her head, "No, it's impossible, how could you be Qingqing, Qingqing is in the country, you are here Lie to me, you must be lying to me."

"Mother!" Ye Zhizhou was helpless, flipped through the original owner's memory again, and said with shame, "Mother, you have a mole on your lower back. I accidentally saw you and your father...you and your father thought it was a mole. I fell asleep, just... At that time, your dress was pink with butterflies embroidered on it."

Yuan Hui froze, and then rushed over excitedly, "How did you know this! How could you know this! Only Qingqing slept with me when she was a child, how could you know this! Qingqing told you, right? Zou Qing, you can't lie to me!"

"Mother, I didn't lie to you. I'm really Zou Qing." Ye Zhizhou looked into her eyes and said affirmatively, "The Zou Qing you mentioned doesn't have these memories at all. If you don't believe me, you can write to him and ask him! , the nurses and maids around you have long been bribed by Taodong, they have been brainwashing you, wake up!"

"No, how could I have mistaken my child..." Yuan Hui covered her face, shook her head vigorously, her voice gradually choked up, "I don't believe it, how could you be Qingqing... If you were Qingqing, then I have done some things all these years What... how could you..."

Ye Zhizhou sighed in his heart, stepped forward to hug her, patted her on the back comfortingly, and comforted her with mental strength while saying, "If you don't believe me, I can take the antidote to restore my appearance right now, and wait for you When you see my real face, you understand everything."

Yuan Hui's crying subsided, she lowered her head and wiped her tears, withdrew from his embrace and looked at him carefully for a while, then suddenly firmed her eyes, "You said your face is fake, it was Taodong who applied the medicine to change your appearance ?."

Ye Zhizhou nodded.

"Do you have an antidote?"

Keep nodding.

A trace of cruelty flashed in Yuan Hui's eyes, and she pulled him to the outside, "Okay, let's go find your father, and then call Taodong to confront me! Take the antidote on the spot and show me! If you dare to lie to me , I will definitely drive you and Taodong out of the Zou family!"

This request was exactly what Ye Zhizhou wanted. While continuing to output his mental power, he cooperated with Yuan Hui and walked towards the main hall.

Zou Qing was inquiring about Shen Tingwei's Huainan Salt Gang in detail. Seeing Yuan Hui pulling Ye Zhizhou in, he couldn't help but coldly shouted, "Why are you here? Well, you are not needed here, go to the backyard."

Yuan Hui ignored him, let go of Ye Zhizhou's hand, went to the door and asked the servants to call Taodong, then sat down with a sullen face.

"You!" Zou Qing wanted to scold when he slapped the table, but when he saw Shen Tingwei got up to face Ye Zhizhou, he swallowed the scolding back, and said in a suppressed temper, "Ma'am, what are you doing here? There are guests here."

"You'll know what I'm going to do soon." Yuan Hui straightened her collar and looked at him, her eyes were cold and faint, as if the needles had been frozen into ice, "husband, your mother paid you Room good concubine."

Zou Qing's eyebrows twitched, and he took several deep breaths to suppress the anger that almost broke through the sky.

Shen Tingwei listened to the conversation between the two, and turned his head to look at Ye Zhizhou inquiringly.

"It's okay." Ye Zhizhou pushed him into a chair and sat down, leaned closer and said, "Don't be surprised no matter what you see later."

Taodong came to the main hall suspiciously, and then felt a little uneasy by the faces of Yuan Hui and everyone sitting on the side, "Master, madam, what are you..."

"Stand aside." Yuan Hui waved her hand to interrupt her, and looked at Ye Zhizhou with hope and madness in her eyes, "Take the antidote, just take it here."

Ye Zhizhou broke away from Shen Tingwei's hand, stood up under the eyes of everyone who was either puzzled or dissatisfied, walked to the table and took the elixir, then poured out a cup of warm tea, wet the handkerchief, and began to wipe his face vigorously.

Seeing him doing this, Taodong's expression changed, and he couldn't help but raise his heart.

Shen Tingwei glanced at his palm, got up straight, walked to sit beside him, and looked at him seriously.

As he wiped it, the handkerchief was gradually stained with a layer of yellow, and the smooth facial skin actually became wrinkled.Yuan Hui couldn't help leaning over to look at it, but Zou Qing's eyes were filled with shock.

"Qing'er, you..."

"Father, don't be impatient, it's just some old toxins, just let it out." He raised his head to comfort him, then glared at Shen Tingwei, who was about to get started, and lowered his head to continue wiping.

Taodong finally stopped being calm, stepped forward and said eagerly, "Qing'er, what are you doing, there are still guests here, this is too rude, please stop."

"Shut up!" Yuan Hui glared at her, then shouted outside, "Come on, tie up Aunt Tao and shut up!"

Zou Qing instinctively wanted to stop, but after seeing Yuan Hui's sharp eyes and Ye Zhizhou's face, he hesitated to stop.

The servant came very quickly, before Taodong could struggle and scream, he was tied up and gagged, his eyes were gradually stained with panic. A quarter of an hour later, the yellowish layer of skin on Ye Zhizhou's face was finally wiped off, revealing the white tender but red and swollen inside skin.The warm tea has been replaced by a pot of warm water, and several handkerchiefs are dirty.His hands were sore from wiping, and his heart became more and more sympathetic to the original owner.The potion had permeated into the skin and flesh after more than ten years. If it weren't for the elixir given by the system, the face of the original owner might never come back in this lifetime.

Layer after layer, his face became smaller visible to the naked eye, his delicate and straight nose was exposed, his drooping and lifeless eyes due to thick upper eyelids gradually revealed their original agile outlines, and finally his lips , tearing off the last layer of dead skin, the dull purple lips became rosy and plump.

Yuan Hui looked at him, and her breathing became more and more rapid. When his face was finally exposed, she finally couldn't help covering her mouth and let out a crying sound with a different tone.

The water in the basin was already dark yellow, and the handkerchief in his hand that had not been replaced for a long time was also completely black. Ye Zhizhou took the new handkerchief Shen Tingwei handed over, wiped his face, and smiled at Yuan Hui, "Mother, it's been more than ten years, do you still remember?" What did I look like when I was a child? Do I look like I did when I was a child?"

"Like, so similar... Qingqing..." Yuan Hui rushed forward and touched his face with trembling hands, tears finally fell down, "You are Qingqing? Then, the one I have raised for so many years... you , Why do you...I...Qingqing, you are really..."

Zou Qing also looked shocked, and couldn't help asking loudly, "What's going on? How did your face become like this? Ma'am, why do you call him Qingqing? This, what is going on here? !"

Despair flashed in the eyes of the bound Taodong, and he lowered his head with a pale face.
