Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 352: Tears and the Arrival of the Spy

Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Tears and the Arrival of the Spy

The news of Qian Yi’s return to Qingshui Village spread quickly, and because he was dressed in wealth and finery, it soon became known throughout the village.

Wearing silk garments, it was clear he had grown wealthy, so the next day, people came visiting to find out the truth.

Qian Erniang had never experienced such a scene before, the door bustling with visitors, giving her quite a face; she happily went to greet them, but Qian Yi beside her frowned and said, "Mother, it’s enough to mind our own business, no need to be overly polite with others!"

Qian Yi, having made great advancements in studies over the past two years, had greatly improved his cultural knowledge, speaking in an almost scholarly manner, hands clasped behind his back with a look of disdain, displaying a certain demeanor of an official.

The villagers nearby couldn’t help but question in their hearts, did Qian Yi really get lucky and become an official?

But looking at him, it didn’t seem like it?

Just as the villagers watched and pondered uncertainly, Qian Yi suddenly said, "Mother, thank you for your years of nurturing grace. I plan to take you to the provincial capital soon to live a life of wealth."

The provincial capital!

Someone in the crowd exclaimed, looking at Qian Erniang with envy.

The provincial capital of Ling’an was indeed a good place, with beautiful mountains, clear waters, good families, abundant rice and fish, and gold everywhere. It is said that even beggars there live better lives than here.

Qian Erniang never thought there would be a day when so many people admired and envied her, just like she once did when she saw the Li family earn so much money, tear down their old home, and move to a mansion in the county town.

Now the roles were reversed, and the feeling was indescribably delightful.

When joy comes, one’s spirit rises, so Qian Erniang instinctively raised her head slightly, her hands unconsciously on her waist, like a victorious rooster.

She nodded slightly, looking lovingly at her son, and said, "You have a heart, these twenty years of affection have not been in vain!"

Eh?

Everyone was taken aback at these words, wondering if Qian Erniang had misspoken. He’s your son from the Qian family, the sole offspring; wasn’t it only natural for you to love him?

While everyone was still in a daze, Qian Yi suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Qian Erniang.

"Mother, thank you for the life-saving grace you gave me back then. I will never forget it and will serve you well when I am wealthy!"

Qian Erniang hurriedly went up to help him up, tears welling in her eyes: "Good, good child, mother knows you’re filial. You used to be like a rascal, causing me worry, but unexpectedly, you’ve grown up so much after going out. I’m so pleased, really, sob sob..."

As she spoke, Qian Erniang started to cry. It was genuine tears, tears of joy!

To think that her son would become a prince and possibly become an emperor, and she would be the Empress Dowager, how could she not be happy?

While this heartwarming drama of gratitude unfolded here, the villagers on the side were dumbfounded.

Someone dug into their ear, as if mishearing something, but listening carefully, it seemed to be true?

"Qian Yi is not Qian Erniang’s biological child?"

"This... how would I know? Previously Li Qingmu wasn’t the Li family’s biological child either. Now Qian Yi isn’t too, and in our village... well, I need to go back and check if my precious grandson is indeed mine. I don’t want to raise him for someone else unknowingly!"

An old man muttered and turned away.

Others were curious: "Qian Erniang, how come your Duoduo isn’t your biological child either?"

One after another not being biologically related, what is happening?

Hearing this, Qian Yi, who was kneeling and kowtowing, suddenly had a slight dilation of his pupils!

Yes, how did he forget about it? Li Qingmu wasn’t the Li family’s biological child either, and, as the Li family once said, he seemed to have been picked up from the roadside?

But it was said that Mrs. Li Zhou was truly pregnant at the time, so...

What does this imply?

It implies that someone swapped Li Qingmu with Mrs. Li Zhou’s child!

So?

Qian Yi’s heart jumped suddenly, as the teachings of etiquette educated his increasingly sharp mind. Some things, if not delved deeply, once consciously guessed, were surprisingly close to the truth!

Qian Yi was alarmed and felt that this matter must be reported to the benefactor for them to decide!

Qian Erniang hadn’t noticed the crazed look in Qian Duoduo’s eyes; she stood akimbo, making a gesture with her hand and said, "What do you know!

Nineteen years ago, during the Rebellion of the Seven Princes, Shengjing City was breached. How many affluent Shengjing families were destroyed then? How many children born in that period were displaced? How many parents sent their children to the countryside to protect them?

Our family was fortunate to receive a filial one, unlike someone’s adopted son, who is ungrateful, ha ha ha!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Qian Erniang spoke with implication, and everyone couldn’t help but think of the Li family’s Li Qingmu.

He completely severed ties with the Li family, doing so with such decisiveness. Though there was reason, in comparison now, it fell far short of Qian Yi’s situation.

"Qian Erniang, what about your son? Where did he go?"

"Yes, where’s your original son?"

"Gone!"

Qian Erniang waved her hand and covered her face, looking pained.

"Back then, in town, I met a man covered in blood, holding an infant. Ah, when he saw me with a child, he knelt down and said that they were being pursued by enemies and begged me to save his young master, even giving me several precious treasures. How could I accept such things?

But saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I was hesitant then; he said that was his family’s only bloodline and begged me to save him. My heart softened, so I agreed, swapping my child with his.

Ah, why did I have a brain cramp back then and sent my own child away like that? That was the child I carried for ten months, placing him in danger. I really am... unfit to be a mother!"

Everyone was silent, not knowing what to say, just staring blankly at Qian Erniang as she cried and spoke.

"But later, I thought it through. We could have more children here, but they had only one. I saved him, saving their whole family. Although I was sad, it was worth it! All these years, I have raised him well, hoping he would grow up and succeed! Finally, the heavens do not disappoint those who strive!"

"Mother!"

Qian Yi prostrated on the ground, kowtowing thud thud thud!

"Back then, you exchanged your child’s life for mine. I am endlessly grateful. I lived a muddled life early on, causing you and father too much trouble, and I regret it! I swear, from now on, I will do my utmost to care for you and father, providing you a peaceful old age!"

"A good child indeed!"

"..."

The villagers listening couldn’t help but shed tears.

Such great benevolence and filial piety!

Meanwhile, whoosh whoosh whoosh, several shadows appeared in this remote village, witnessing this scene!

These people were the secret agents of the Yulong Pavilion!

They have arrived!
