Chapter 176 Marriage Letter
The age, ancestral home, and appearance all match.
Qin Yueyao suppressed her shock and asked, "Haven't you heard about the case that happened in the capital some time ago, where the top scholar Song Shiwei sued his father for murdering his wife?"
Ye Xun'an had heard about this, but he didn't take it seriously. He asked, "Does this have anything to do with the person I'm looking for?"
Qin Yueyao touched her chin and said, "It shouldn't be like this. Although Dingzhou is far away from the capital, such a big thing has already spread everywhere. How could you not know about it?
Song Shiwei sought justice for her mother and sent her father to the guillotine. Her biological mother is the Xu Miaoshu you are looking for.
More than ten years ago, Cheng Enbo Song Moting poisoned his wife and seized the Xu family's property.
Song Shiwei exposed her father's crimes for the sake of justice, which caused a sensation in the capital.
Later, His Majesty ordered the execution of Song Moting, and also decided to let Xu Miaoshu and Song Moting divorce, and conferred Xu Miaoshu the title of Second Rank Imperial Lady. "
Ye Xun'an was shocked when he heard this. The gauze in his hand fell to the ground. He murmured, "She is... dead?"
Qin Yueyao nodded and asked curiously, "What is your relationship with Xu Miaoshu?"
Ye Xun'an was a little confused. He had been looking for her for so long, but it turned out that she was already dead, and she was killed by the person who slept with her.
He clenched his fists, feeling uncomfortable.
"Big brother, are you okay?"
Qin Yueyao saw that he looked a little unhappy, so she helped Ye Xun'an sit down and asked, "Is she an important person to you?"
Although Ye Xun'an had never seen her before, her appearance had already been engraved in his mind. He took a deep breath and said, "You just said that she has a daughter?"
Qin Yueyao said: "Her daughter looks exactly like her. I was shocked when I saw the portrait just now."
Ye Xun'an asked her: "Can I meet her?"
Qin Yueyao was a little hesitant because she didn't know what the relationship between her elder brother and Xu Miaoshu was. What if they had a grudge against each other?
Perhaps seeing her concerns, Ye Xun'an said, "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions.
Xu Miaoshu is an old friend of my father, and I came to find her this time to fulfill my father's long-cherished wish."
"So that's it."
Qin Yueyao grabbed Ye Xun'an's arm and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see her."
She pulled Ye Xun'an out of the clinic, got on the carriage, and then headed towards Song Shiwei's No. 1 Scholar's Mansion.
Ye Xun'an had heard a lot about Song Shiwei along the way, but he never expected that this girl was actually Xu Miaoshu's daughter.
He asked curiously, "What kind of person is this Miss Song?"
Qin Yueyao said, "He's a wonderful person." After a pause, she asked, "Big brother, are you married?"
Ye Xun'an shook his head.
Qin Yueyao curved her eyebrows and asked again: "Do you have a sweetheart?"
Ye Xun'an still shook his head.
Qin Yueyao suppressed the corners of her lips that were slightly raised and said, "Then I have to remind you, don't set your sights on Shi Wei.
She already has a lover, and her lover is not a good person. "
Ye Xun'an raised his eyebrows and asked, "From your tone, you and Miss Song should be very good friends, right?"
"Yeah, I'm very picky when it comes to making friends."
Qin Yueyao tilted her head and asked, "Are you a spirit that has been practicing in the mountains? Otherwise, how come you don't know anything about the outside world?"
Ye Xun'an coughed lightly with a guilty conscience, and asked seriously, "Then what kind of monster do you think I am?"
Qin Yueyao stroked her chin and thought for a while. She stared at Ye Xun'an and said, "I don't think you look like a monster, but more like a deity who has come down to earth."
Ye Xun'an was amused by her, and the two of them seemed like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time. They talked happily without any restraint.
While chatting and laughing, they arrived at the top scholar's mansion.
Qin Yueyao led Ye Xun'an into the mansion and went straight to the courtyard where Song Shiwei lived.
Song Shiwei was instructing Xiao Jingheng to water the seedlings in her vegetable garden when she saw Qin Yueyao leading a handsome man in.
Seeing that she had a wound on her neck, she hurriedly asked: "Sister Qin, how did you get this?"
Qin Yueyao didn't have time to explain. She pointed at the man behind her with some excitement.
Song Shiwei stared at the man curiously.
Ye Xun'an was also looking at her. Although he heard Qin Yueyao say that Song Shiwei looked very much like her mother, he didn't expect them to be so similar.
It seemed that only the eyes were different. Her eyes looked a bit like his.
"Sister Qin."
Song Shiwei approached with a gossipy look on her face and asked, "Who is this person? How come I have never seen him before? Where did you get such a handsome man?"
Qin Yueyao smiled and said, "He is the big brother I want."
Song Shiwei looked a little shocked, but inevitably worried.
I've been looking for him for so many years and still can't find him. How come he suddenly appears?
She asked, "Are you sure?"
Qin Yueyao said: "It can't be wrong."
She said to Ye Xun'an, "Big brother, this is my good friend Song Shiwei. Does she look like the person in your portrait?"
"It's very similar."
Ye Xun'an came over and bowed to Song Shiwei, saying, "I am Ye Xun'an. Please forgive me for disturbing you, Miss Song."
Song Shiwei was confused. She asked, "What portrait?"
Qin Yueyao said to Ye Xun'an, "Take out the portrait and show it to her."
Ye Xun'an took out the scroll from his bag and handed it to Song Shiwei.
Song Shiwei reached out to take it and opened it, only to see that the woman in the painting had a face very similar to hers, except that the expression was different.
Xiao Jingheng walked over and looked at the portrait in Song Shiwei's hand. His face darkened, and he glanced at Ye Xun'an calmly, then said to Song Shiwei: "This is a portrait of your mother."
Song Shiwei also noticed that the painting was quite old.
She frowned and asked, "How come you have a portrait of my mother?"
Ye Xun'an said: "My father met your mother in Jinzhou many years ago, but due to some things, my father left and never came back.
He has always been thinking about your mother, and asked me to bring her a letter if I found her."
When Song Shiwei heard Jinzhou, she knew what was going on. She asked, "Where's the letter?"
Ye Xun'an took out a piece of letter from his pocket and handed it to her.
Song Shiwei hesitated for a moment after taking it.
She knew that the father Ye Xun'an was talking about might be her biological father.
And this letter may contain the answer that the mother has been waiting for.
She took a deep breath and opened the letter, only to see a red letter inside. When she opened it, there were two eye-catching words: "Marriage Certificate."
Song Shiwei's pupils suddenly shrank. This turned out to be the marriage certificate that the man gave to her mother. Moreover, judging from the handwriting on the marriage certificate, it should be quite old.
So he didn't forget his promise?
She looked at the signature on the marriage certificate. The man’s name was indeed Lan Ze, Ye Lan Ze!
Song Shiwei asked with tears in her eyes, "Why didn't he come back?"
Ye Xun'an's eyes darkened, and his tone was somewhat sad: "Because he can't come back!"
