After the luck of rebirth was taken away, the true and false daughters teamed up

Chapter 228

Ye Shoufu was dubious, "Really?"

"Of course, yes, how could we lie to you about this?" Master Jimin laughed dryly and winked at the little nun quickly, "The work is not quick at all, and the courage is still so cowardly that it disturbed the distinguished guests. What should I do? Why don’t you get down quickly!”

Hearing this, the little nun put down the teapot and ran away without saying a word.

Seeing this, Master Jimin explained to Ye Shoufu: "You don't know something. She has been an orphan since she was a child. She had a high fever when she was a child, so she can neither hear nor speak. She is usually very timid and weak. Master Tai couldn’t bear to let her do heavy work, so he asked her to deliver tea to distinguished guests, but I didn’t expect that she couldn’t even do this kind of work, which disturbed the adults.”

Ye Shoufu waved his hand, "That's not true. I was abrupt and scared her. Maybe I saw it wrong and remembered the wrong person. It's okay."

Master Jimin smiled: "This is normal. There are so many people in the world, and there are always many people who look similar. It is normal for adults to admit their mistakes."

Ye Shoufu nodded, "Master, if you have anything to do, just go and do it. We can just sit here and wait."

Master Jimin was about to say, she will stay here.

But thinking of what happened just now, she changed her tune, "Since the Lord said so, I won't bother you."

She bowed to Ye Shoufu and walked out.

Seeing this, Song Shiyun immediately asked in a low voice: "Do you know the little nun just now?"

Ye Shoufu was about to talk to Song Shiyun about this matter. When he heard this, he frowned and said, "I don't know either, but if she is the Miss Qiu I know, she is not the same age."

Song Shiyun couldn't help but asked, "Aren't you the right age?"

Ye Shoufu hummed, "The Qiu family I'm talking about was more than ten years ago. I had just finished my overseas appointment and returned to Beijing to serve as an official. Just in time, the Minister of War was investigated and accused of embezzling military pay. The Qiu family was ransacked. All the men were beheaded and all the women were thrown into the palace. I was lucky enough to meet the women of the Qiu family on the palace road. One of them was the third young lady of the Qiu family. She had an unworldly appearance. Even I can still remember it clearly, but That was more than ten years ago. The Miss Qiu family was already sixteen or seventeen years old at that time. If she were still alive now, she would probably be in her thirties. She shouldn't look so young. I must have remembered it wrong. .”

Song Shiyun frowned slightly when he heard this.

More than ten years ago...

At that time, she had not returned to the palace from Tianji Gate.

But I have also heard that His Majesty's thunderous methods have punished many corrupt officials.

In the same year, many officials were dismissed.

At the same time, there were also many foreign officials who got the opportunity to be promoted from local places and became officials in the capital.

Once you become a Beijing official, you may be promoted all the way to the top.

And there are not many such people, they are simply rare.

Ye Shoufu is that rare phoenix feather.

He caught up with a good opportunity and came back from his overseas appointment. In just over ten years, he rose from a small fifth-rank Beijing official to the chief minister of the cabinet.

You can see how powerful it is.

If what Ye Shoufu said is correct, then the little nun just now should not be the third Miss of the Qiu family.

But just now, when Ye Shoufu called her the third daughter of the Qiu family, the little nun's reaction was very unusual.

Judging from her reaction, she must know Miss Qiu's third daughter.

It's more likely that he had such a reaction because Ye Shoufu was right.

However, her reaction seemed to be more afraid of others recognizing her.

And after Ye Shoufu finished speaking, her first reaction was to look at Master Jimin in fear, as if she was afraid that Master Jimin would punish her for this.

These reactions are not normal.

"Is there a possibility that your Excellency did not recognize the wrong person?" Song Shiyun looked at Ye Shoufu.

Ye Shoufu was stunned for a moment and stroked his beard, "Maybe I made a mistake. After so many years, my impression of that Miss Qiu family is somewhat vague. What's more, that Miss Qiu family was sent to the palace as a slave because of a crime. As a servant, even if you are still alive now, you should be in the inner palace and should not appear here."

Ye Shoufu didn't quite approve of his memory, and various evidence also showed that he had a high probability of remembering it wrong.

But Song Shiyun felt that it was not that simple.

She thought about it carefully and realized that the face of the little girl she just saw indeed looked like the face of her parents who had both died.

In addition to the possibility that she is the orphan that Master Jimin mentioned, it is also possible that she is the only orphan girl left after all her family members were beheaded.

However, there is one thing that doesn't make sense. If the orphaned daughter of a guilty minister entered the palace due to a crime, how could she appear here at this time?

Song Shiyun couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"Maybe I really remembered it wrong." Seeing that Song Shiyun was still hesitating, Ye Shoufu smiled lightly, not wanting Song Shiyun to waste more energy on this.Song Shiyun nodded slightly and said nothing more.

the other side.

Master Jimin chased him out of the side hall. When he saw the little nun running away from a distance, she shouted angrily, "If it's true, stop!"

The little nun trembled, as if she was afraid, but she still stopped.

She looked back at Master Jimin tremblingly and lowered her head suddenly.

Master Jimin walked over angrily.

Catching a glimpse of Master Jimin's toes, stopping in front of her, she called out in fear, "Master..."

When Master Jimin heard this, he suddenly raised his hand and was about to slap her.

However, thinking of Ruozhen's face, Master Jimin's hand still stopped in mid-air.

With a cold face, she flicked her sleeves and looked back.

Seeing that no one was chasing after her, she gritted her teeth and said, "What's wrong with you? How does Ye Shoufu know you?"

Ruozhen trembled and said: "Slave, I don't know..."

Master Jimin raised his eyebrows high, "You don't know either? How could you not know?"

Ruozhen's voice was filled with tears, "I, I really don't know..."

Seeing that she was so scared that she couldn't express a complete sentence clearly, Master Jimin felt impatient and said, "Okay, stop crying. Now go back to the Zen room and hide. Stop running around here without me." I’ve ordered you not to come out again! If I know you sneaked out and said something you shouldn’t have said, you know what will happen to you!”

Ruozhen's pupils shrank, with fear in his eyes, "I, I understand, I will hide now..."

Before she finished speaking, she ran away in a hurry.

Master Jimin frowned displeased.

Just as he was about to go back, he turned around and saw Master Xuan Hui and Jing Yi walking from the corridor nearby.

Jimin immediately stepped forward to greet him, "Master Tai, you are here."

Master Xuanhui’s expression was grave, “Is Chief Ye still here?”

Master Jimin nodded and moved his chin towards the side hall, "Ye Shoufu is waiting for his master in the side hall."

Master Xuanhui fiddled with the Buddhist string in her hand, "Did he say anything when he came?"

Master Jimin replied: "Ye Shoufu only said that he came to thank you for his granddaughter."

Master Xuan Hui frowned, feeling a little strange about this matter.

Master Jimin looked at the people around him and said in a low voice: "However, something happened just now. I think it is necessary for Master to know."

Master Xuan Hui raised her eyelids and glanced at her, "What's the matter?"

Master Jimin leaned over, covered his mouth with his hands, and whispered a few words, "Just now, Ye Shoufu seemed to have recognized Ruozhen, and asked if Ruozhen was the third Miss of the Qiu family..."

Master Xuan Hui's face suddenly sank, and her eyes suddenly turned cold, "How could you make such a mistake?"

Master Jimin flinched and laughed dryly: "I, I didn't expect this... I already asked Ruozhen to hide, and Ye Shoufu seemed to think that he had recognized the wrong person..."

Master Xuan Hui looked gloomy, "What a waste!"

Master Jimin lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

Master Xuan Hui quickly fiddled with the Buddhist string in her hand, "If someone doesn't like her, it would be better to just kill her."

Master Jimin didn't dare to speak.

Master Xuan Hui pondered for a moment and then said: "Forget it, tell her not to come out again, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Master Jimin quickly gave a doggy smile, "I know, I have already told her."

Master Xuan Hui snorted coldly and walked towards the side hall.

Seeing this, Master Jimin breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

Together with Jingyi, they followed Master Xuanhui into the side hall.
