[Red Chamber] Madam's wishes come true

It is not surprising that Qin Keqing is Lin Wen's daughter, Zhen Fu and the others have already figured out the identities of Qin Keqing and Lin Kou.

But the fact that Lin Wen changed the child himself was surprising.

Obviously, Jia Zhen would not cheat on this matter.

Because this is the only way to understand why Jia Zhen dared to have bad thoughts about Qin Keqing——

Because Lin Wen was a guilty minister, because Lin Wu didn't know Qin Keqing's identity, and because it was Lin Wen himself who replaced her, and it was he who regarded his daughter as an abandoned son.

Jia Zhen looked at the instruments of torture in the room, and couldn't remember how arrogant she was when she first came in: "Although Lin Wen is not a weapon, he is the most loyal to His Highness, and he is inconspicuous, so His Highness used it as a precaution before forcing the palace." In case, I will hand over the daughter born to myself and my concubine to Lin Wen, and tell him to send the daughter to Jinling to the Zhen family if he fails."

"After the incident failed, Lin Wen was worried and wanted to find a substitute for His Highness's daughter just in case."

"He exchanged His Highness's daughter with his own without discussing with us, and then sent his own daughter to Jinling."

Master Hu just thought he was talking nonsense: "Since she was sent to Jinling, why did she go to the Yangsheng Tang, and why was she adopted by Qin Ye and became Qin Ye's adopted daughter and grew up in the capital? How could you let your only son Married Lin Wen's daughter?"

Jia Zhen was taken aback, and quickly argued: "Qin Ye was so bold that he wanted to steal the daughters of other princes and use them as substitutes for His Highness's daughter, and he finally succeeded..."

He carefully glanced at Mr. Hu, seeing that he was not angry, so he continued to speak with confidence, "Although Qin Ye stole her out, he didn't dare to treat her too badly. As insiders, my uncle and father were also worried. After the incident was revealed, the emperor liquidated it, so I thought about making an engagement to my only son with the daughter of some prince in advance."

As the husband's family of the prince's daughter, the emperor will not be too strict when it comes to liquidation. If they treat the child better, she may be able to intercede for the Jia family after the incident...

Master Hu heard the Jia family's plan, and was so angry that he beat Jia Zhen again: "A bunch of shameless people!"

Jia Zhen was beaten until her nose was bruised and her face was swollen, so she didn't dare to say anything more.

Lord Hu calmed down a bit, and then asked: "What else? What else do you know, tell them all, or I will make you look good!"

Jia Zhen nodded again and again: "I used to think that Miaoyu from Panxiang Temple in Gusu was the daughter of Lin Wen, and the child taken away by Lin Wen's concubine was the daughter of Prince Yizhong. But when my uncle passed away, I and the two uncles next door When we helped the coffin back to Jinling together, we went to Panxiang Temple to see Miaoyu, and I always felt that Miaoyu's eyebrows were somewhat similar to His Highness's."

"I was taken aback, and immediately went to look for Mrs. Qian, only to learn that she had disappeared shortly after returning to Weiyang, and her daughter not only did not have half the same appearance as His Highness, but was actually similar in appearance to Lin Wen. I thought it was the two After the two children returned to the south of the Yangtze River, they accidentally got mixed up, so they didn't care much, and just let the Zhen family treat Miaoyu better."

"Because of this matter, I always have some doubts in my heart. After Qin Keqing got started, I found that Qin Keqing was really not like His Highness, but quite similar to Lin Wen's favorite concubine. Only then did I realize that Qin Keqing is Lin Wen's daughter."

Master Hu paused: "Miaoyu is the daughter of Prince Yizhong?"

Jia Zhen nodded again and again: "Although I don't know what's going on, Qin Keqing and Miaoyu's identities are definitely good."

Master Hu looked at Jia Zhen coldly: "Then who was the child that Qian took away back then, have you never thought about it? Where did the child that Qin Ye stole from a certain palace go, and you haven't investigated it?"

Jia Zhen was taken aback: "This, this, this, I was only hearing about this matter, and I didn't know the inside story at all. Maybe what did Qin Ye do without telling us? I just need to know if His Highness's daughter is fine or not. gone?"

Master Hu kicked him to the ground: "What are you talking about!"

After confirming that there was no other information to be found from Jia Zhen, Mr. Hu went to interrogate Qin Ye again.

Who would have thought that he beat Qin Ye to pieces and begged again and again, but Qin Ye still only admitted the crime of exchanging a dead baby from Zhongshun Palace for a newborn girl, and everything else apart, he Like a blind man who doesn't know at all.

Even, he still thinks that Qin Keqing is the daughter of Prince Yizhong.

Because he has never seen Qian Shi.

Master Hu beat Qin Ye half to death, but he still kept the same rhetoric.

The Zhen family also has no trial, because they have always regarded Miaoyu as the daughter of Prince Yizhong, they have never doubted it, and have not found anything wrong in the middle.

As for why they lost their composure when they saw Lin Ying——

Firstly, it was because Lin Ying was more like Prince Yizhong than Miaoyu, and secondly, because Lin Ying was very similar to Prince Yizhong's concubine, which was the daughter of a concubine of Mrs. Zhen's husband.

But other things?The Zhen family knew nothing about it.

Master Hu can only pin his hopes on General Zhen Guo and his wife. Apart from them, Master Hu does not know who else to turn to for the time being.

And because many high-ranking people have been arrested one after another, the matter can't be hidden anymore. If they can't come up with a result, all the blood drops involved in the investigation of this case will probably fall apart. .

General Zhen Guo's wife was even more at a loss than Qin Ye. Not only did she know nothing, she had never participated in anything.

Although she was not tortured, Mr. Hu could feel that she was not lying.

Then we can only wait for General Zhen Guo.

However, General Zhen Guo was fought on the battlefield, and his aura was stronger than that of Mr. Hu. Even if the upper body of the torture equipment did not change at all, Mr. Hu couldn't pry his mouth open at all.

But Lord Hu can feel that General Zhen Guo knows something.

Things just stalemate.

At this time, two months had passed since Zhen Fu and Lin Kou got married.

But because of this matter, Zhen Fu was busy outside every day, and it was already midnight when he came back every night. Lin Kou had already fallen asleep, and every day before dawn, Zhen Fu had to leave home to search for other clues.

The time we spend with Lin Kou is not even as good as before we got married.

Lin Kou didn't mind at all, as long as she had enough food and drink, she could enjoy herself completely. If she really felt bored, she could even visit the Lin family not far away, and she didn't feel anything at all.

Zhen Fu always felt guilty, thinking that he was sorry for her.

Lin Kou saw his guilt in his eyes, and seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, he deliberately stayed up one night and waited for him to come back, and then asked, "Tell me about the character of this general of the town. There are many deeds about the wives of General Zhen Guo, but I don’t know much about this General Zhen Guo.”

Zhen Fu thought for a while, and said: "The situation of General Zhen Guo's family is quite similar to that of my uncle's family, but his father is not as highly valued by the emperor as my uncle's father, and the title will be gone after three generations. After a generation of silence, General Zhen Guo turned out to be Born, he ran to join the army when he was young, and relied on his own ability to accumulate military merits one by one, and gained his current status."

"His personality is not very good, and I heard that he is a bit patriarchal, and he attaches great importance to his two sons. He almost takes them everywhere, and starts paving the way for the two sons early. He is very indifferent to his only daughter. He seemed to have had a big fight with her when they got engaged. Afterwards, his daughter's family members ordered his two sons not to marry her behind her back. The scene was very ugly at the time. Later, the nephew of General Zhen Guo's wife came forward and carried his daughter behind his back. Get on the sedan chair."

Lin Kou paused, suddenly glad that she chose to get married before admitting to her relatives.

Otherwise, it would be really bald to recognize such a pair of parents.

However, Zhen Fu said again: "But according to the investigation of other blood drops, the truth may not be the case. It is likely that General Zhen Guo's wife is too indifferent to his two sons and too kind to his daughter, so he wants to Be nicer to his son. As for the matter of his daughter getting married... I heard that it was because his daughter and her current husband had a private relationship first. Hold on, so..."

Lin Kou blinked, feeling a bit difficult.

After thinking about it, she tentatively said, "Why don't you try to mention my matter to General Zhen Guo? I always feel that, with the temperament of General Zhen Guo in your mouth, it is unlikely that he will be too indifferent to his daughter. Even if It is impossible to stop the two sons from carrying her out of the house if they do not agree with their daughter's marriage, it seems like they want to have a complete falling out with their daughter."

"Do you think it is possible that General Zhen Guo has discovered in advance that his daughter is not his real daughter?"

Zhen Fu paused: "It's possible."

After all, even an idiot like Jia Zhen can discover part of the truth through the appearance of several children. It is unreasonable that General Zhen Guo can't find out that his daughter looks very different from himself and his wife.

Zhen Fu got up quickly: "I'm really going to find Mr. Hu."

After speaking, he turned around and left, Lin Kou didn't even have time to stop him.

When Mr. Hu heard about this speculation, he also found it reasonable: "I just heard that General Zhen Guo was not good to his daughter before, so he subconsciously felt that if he told General Zhen Guo about his own daughter, he would not be moved. But you Guessing, there is another possibility."

Zhen Fu hurriedly explained: "This is my wife's guess."

Master Hu laughed: "Husband and wife are one body, so what's the difference between her guess and yours?"

After speaking, he took Zhen Fu to see General Zhen Guo.

Because of General Zhen Guo's military exploits in the past and no evidence of his participation in this case, except for the first day, Lord Hu and the others did not torture him, and even prepared a cell for General Zhen Guo alone. Give him the best treatment.

Of course, General Zhen Guo didn't appreciate it.

Seeing Mr. Hu, General Zhen Guo's expression instantly dropped. His eyes were already fierce, but it was even more frightening when he looked at Mr. Hu.

Lord Hu stopped in his tracks, paused for a moment, and then stepped forward again.

"General Lin, why don't you get involved? For so long, have you been ignorant of this matter? We know each other well." Lord Hu sighed, "I know you have concerns, but Emperor Ether With the emperor's regard for you, and your military achievements over the years, as long as you don't kill anyone, how much will you be affected? Don't you think about your daughter who is living outside?"

General Zhen Guo, who had not responded to Master Hu's words all this time, twitched his eyelashes, as if he was moved by intention.

Even though he quickly regained his composure, he was still noticed by Zhen Fu who had been staring at him.

Zhen Fu thought for a while, and took a step forward: "Master Lin, if we are not mistaken, your daughter should be my wife who just got married not long ago. Strictly speaking, it seems that I should call you father-in-law."

crunch--

General Zhen Guo's stool was kicked out of place by him, and the legs of the stool rubbed against the floor making a screeching sound.

This kind of sound is extremely unpleasant, and it will make people feel toothache.

But at this moment, it fell into the ears of Master Hu and Zhen Fu, but it was so wonderful that people wished they could jump on the spot immediately.

Zhen Fu made persistent efforts: "My wife was brought back to the south of the Yangtze River by your younger brother's concubine Qian Shi when she was just born, but she died young, so my wife was taken back to the Qian family by Qian's elder brother. But the Qian family did not take her back with good intentions , but took a fancy to her appearance, and wanted to train her as a gift."

Lin Wu suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhen Fu in disbelief.

Zhen Fu pretended not to see it, and said: "She was not only beaten and scolded growing up in the Qian family, but also attracted a lot of gossip when she grew up because of her body that was completely different from the local aesthetics. She went on a diet for this, and even almost Starved to death. If she hadn't been rescued, she might have..."

"Later, Mrs. Lin Shangshu met her at a banquet, because she said that she had a house where someone was pregnant, so she was taken back by Mrs. Lin..."

Lin Wu couldn't bear it anymore: "Is she really my daughter?"

Zhen Fu looked at Mr. Hu, and nodded after getting his approval: "Based on our guess, my wife and Lin Ying should have been swapped by Qian. If you can guarantee that before Qian's change, my wife has never If she has been replaced, then she should be your daughter."

After a pause, he added, "My wife is similar to you and your wife in appearance."

General Zhen Guo's original calm collapsed in an instant. He took a deep breath, as if he had made some decision, and then said: "This matter is indeed related to me."

After saying these words, Lin Wu immediately opened the conversation.

He thought for a while, and said, "A few days before Prince Yizhong forced the palace, Lin Wen suddenly brought a baby back from outside, and because of this, he had a big fight with his younger siblings and Mrs. Qian. I didn't know the identity of the child at the time, so I just thought That child was born between him and a woman outside, after all, he is doing things..."

Thinking of the scandal of Lin Wen abducting Qian to elope, Lin Wu's eyebrows jumped.

After a while, he opened his mouth: "But after Prince Yizhong's defeat, Lin Wen acted too flustered, and he wanted to send that baby to the south of the Yangtze River. I'm not stupid. Of course, I noticed that the child's identity was different. Immediately send someone to investigate."

"In the beginning, when it only involved Prince Yizhong's daughter, I didn't intend to hide it. After I investigated the identity of the child, I wanted to tell the emperor. As for how the emperor treats this child, it is also a matter of the royal family. It doesn't matter to the minister."

"But when investigating the child's identity, I discovered another thing. They stole a child from Prince Zhongshun's mansion, and planned to keep Prince Zhongshun's daughter in the capital as a substitute for Prince Yizhong's daughter. Similarly, there will be no doubts when it is released after the incident is revealed.”

"If it's just to protect Prince Yizhong's daughter, I'll tell the emperor, of course it's fine, but it involves stealing Prince Zhongshun's daughter as a substitute for Prince Yizhong's daughter..."

Lin Wu smiled wryly: "At that time, the emperor was furious because of Prince Yizhong's forcing the palace. If this matter was exposed, even if I have made great military achievements, I cannot guarantee that the Lin family will not be implicated."

"I kept it a secret."

"I once thought about replacing the daughter of Lord Zhongshun, but Qin Ye replaced it with a dead baby at the time, and no one noticed it was wrong at the beginning. Lord Zhongshun knew that his daughter was replaced because the child's mother saw the corpse. If it is found to be wrong, it will be exposed."

"If I send the child back before Lord Zhongshun finds out, I won't be able to hide this matter."

"But I didn't want Prince Zhongshun's child to be too far away from his family, and I didn't want that child to take the blame for others after the incident was revealed, so I changed the two children after Lin Wen sent the child out of the capital."

Lord Hu paused: "There seems to be something wrong?"

Zhen Fu looked at Lin Wu: "General Lin, you mean that you changed the identity of the child Lin Wen sent out of the capital with Qin Ye's adopted daughter?"

Lin Wu was taken aback, then nodded: "Is there something wrong?"

"Of course not!" Master Hu was furious, "The child that Lin Wen sent out of the capital was not the daughter of Prince Yizhong at all, you made a mistake!"

Lin Wu was stunned: "Isn't it the daughter of Prince Yizhong? Whose daughter is that?"

Master Hu was about to speak, but suddenly found that his mind was in a muddle, and he couldn't figure out what was going on in the whole thing for a while.

Zhen Fu quickly brought a pen and paper, and began to write in front of the two of them.

"It is known that the identities of four girls have been changed. They are your daughter, General Lin, the daughter of your younger brother Lin Wen, the daughter of Prince Yizhong, and the daughter of Prince Zhongshun. Right?"

Master Hu and Lin Wu nodded in unison.

Zhen Fu continued: "We will replace General Lin's daughter with A, Lin Wen's daughter is B, Prince Yizhong's daughter is C, and Prince Zhongshun's daughter is Ding."

"First, Prince Yizhong handed over his daughter C to Lin Wen, and Lin Wen exchanged C with his daughter B in order to protect the child;"

"Then Qin Ye replaced Ding with a dead baby;"

"At this time, General Lin learned of the identities of C and D, and out of various concerns, he decided to exchange C and D. However, B and C have already been exchanged by Lin Wen first, so you, General Lin, exchanged In fact, it's not C and D, but B and D;"

"So the three children, B, B, and D, are in B's house at Qin's house, C's in Lin's house, and D's house in Zhen's house."

"But for some purpose, Qian wanted to exchange his daughter B with General Lin's daughter A, but because B had already been exchanged twice, Qian finally exchanged C and A. And Qian Perhaps because she was worried that the identities of the two would be exposed, she took Jia and left the capital again."

"So the final result is that A was taken to Weiyang by Qian as Lin Wen's daughter and became my wife Lin Kou; B was brought up by Qin Ye as the daughter of Prince Zhongshun and became Qin Keqing, and became an adult. Later, she married Jia Rong of Ningguo Mansion, and now lives in the temple; Bing stayed in the Lin family as the daughter of General Lin, became Lin Ying, and has married and had children; Ding went to Jinling as the daughter of Prince Yizhong, but because of health Taiwei led cultivation in Panxiang Temple and became Miaoyu."

"In other words, General Lin's daughter has become my wife Lin Kou; Lin Wen's daughter has become Qin Keqing; Prince Zhongshun's daughter is Miaoyu, and Prince Yizhong's daughter..."

Zhen Fu glanced at Lin Wu sympathetically, "It's your adopted daughter Lin Ying."

After going round and round, Prince Yizhong's daughter actually stayed in the Lin family, and has lived as Lin Wu's daughter until now, even married and had children.

Just don't know what to say.

It can only be said that Lin Wen is really a fool, if he hadn't married Qian back home...

Lin Wu's eyes flashed: "I guessed it."

Zhen Fu paused, too, if Lin Wu thought that Lin Ying was the daughter of Prince Zhongshun, there was no need to make such a fuss when she got married.

That's right, it's hard to say whether the emperor and the Supreme Emperor recognize Lin Wu's incident.

Since Lin Wu decided to speak out, he naturally thought of the result. He didn't take it seriously, but just looked at Zhen Fu and asked, "My daughter... is she okay now?"

Zhen Fu glanced at Lin Wu, and said hesitantly: "Although I have been married for two months, but because you have not confessed, I have left early and returned late during this period, and the number of meetings with my wife is not as good as when I was not married."

Lin Wu: "..."

"Of course, Madam is open-minded, and she doesn't seem to mind much." After the matter was settled, Zhen Fu's smile relaxed.

Lin Wu glanced at Zhen Fu with sympathy.

Although he himself has never loved anyone, but he is married to a psycho who is full of love and love. He still knows a thing or two about what it is like to love someone.

Newly married for two months, the number of meetings with her husband can be counted on the fingers, and the wife doesn't mind at all...

His daughter probably didn't like this cheap son-in-law much.

Zhen Fu: "???"

Lin Wu looked away, feeling strangely better.

Zhen Fu was at a loss, but when he thought of what happened in Lin Wu, he just thought that he hadn't calmed down and didn't take it seriously.

After the matter was settled, Zhen Fu followed Mr. Hu into the palace to report.

When the emperor learned the ins and outs of the matter, he was really furious on the spot, and he directly ordered everyone to be arrested.

Lord Hu carefully reminded: "Your Majesty, the person is still locked up and has not been released."

The emperor paused, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, but soon he returned to normal: "All those involved in the incident will be imprisoned, and I will inform the Supreme Emperor about this matter, and the Supreme Emperor will make a decision."

Master Hu nodded and didn't say much.

Thinking of Lin Wu, Zhen Fu couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, what about General Lin Wu?"

The emperor was taken aback: "Lin Wu... oh, Lin Wu is your father-in-law now, right? Right after the matter was found out, you have feelings for Lin Wu?"

Zhen Fu shook his head: "I just feel that General Lin Wu is not at fault, and Wei Chen's wife has been lonely since she was a child. If she had just found out her identity, her father would have been arrested... Wei Chen just feels sorry for his wife."

The emperor liked Zhen Fu's frankness and didn't feel offended by him, so he laughed loudly: "Don't worry, with Lin Wu's meritorious service, the Supreme Emperor will not do anything to him."

Zhen Fu was relieved.
