Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Shen Yuyu and the others came to Jinhong Jade Shop. The shopkeeper recognized Princess Ye at a glance and hurriedly got up and came out.

He bowed respectfully and said, "I've seen Princess Ye before. What's the reason for Princess Ye's visit to the shop?"

As a businessman, he naturally knew that Tianxia Trading Company had its own jade shop, so it was impossible for him to order jade, so he asked this question.

"There's no need to be polite, shopkeeper. I'm here today to investigate the origin of a jade pendant." Shen Yuyu said, taking out a piece of paper and spreading it out on the counter. "Can the shopkeeper help me to see if I can find the deposit stub for this jade pendant?" .”

"Here~~ A lady came to ask about this a few days ago." The shopkeeper raised his eyes and recognized the jade pendant at a glance. The painting looked so similar.

"Maybe?" Shen Yue looked at him with a smile.

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "We haven't lost the deposit stubs or anything like that in our shop, but it's unknown whether the items from so many years ago can be found. Even if they can be found, there's no guarantee they've rotted or been infested with insects."

"Nothing, as long as I can find it." Shen Yuyu replied, "I won't waste the shopkeeper's time, I will bring someone to search for it."

"Okay, princess, come with me." The shopkeeper led Shen Yuyu through the store lobby and to the backyard.

In a warehouse in the backyard, there was a pile of discarded account books piled in the corner. Shen Yuyu took one and looked at it. It was a deposit slip left by someone who ordered jade a few months ago.

The name, address, custom-made jade pattern and material were clearly written on it. It seemed that as long as the deposit slip for the jade pendant from more than ten years ago could be found, the truth about Wang Qiu's life experience would be revealed.

Shen Yuyu didn't hesitate and sent a secret guard to Dali Temple. Soon he called hundreds of officers and started rummaging in the warehouse.

This time, Shen Yuyu's heart dropped.

A lot of paper has been stained in one place, and the writing is blurred, or it is so full of holes that it is completely indistinguishable.

However, everyone was still patient and searched carefully for a day.

By evening, Shen Yuyu was about to give up, when suddenly a police officer shouted excitedly.

"Found it, but this one?"

Shen Yuyu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ran over and took the deposit slip in his hand. He saw that the pattern and style of the jade pendant painted on it were exactly the same as the jade pendant on Wang Qiu's body.

Although the buyer's name is blurred and damaged, two words, 'Prince's Mansion', can be clearly identified.

Unfortunately, the handwriting on the front has been erased by the resident insects, and it is impossible to see what the words are.

Shen Yuyu left the deposit slip alone and ordered the servants to sort out the messed up account books. Then he thanked the shopkeeper and left Jinhong Jade Shop.

After returning to the house, Shen Yuyu and the other three sat in the water pavilion and continued to discuss the matter.

"I didn't expect that Wang Qiu was actually a young lady from the royal family, with such a noble birth." Jiang Yuyu looked completely surprised.

Ah Qin asked strangely, "How valuable is the young lady from the palace? How could she be abducted by someone?'

"It must have been lost while out for fun." Jiang Yuyu said, "Prince's Mansion, County Prince's Mansion~~ I don't know which prince's house the child was lost from, but you will understand if you ask which prince's house lost a child 17 years ago."

Shen Yuyu thought so, so he sent someone to invite Princess Rui.

If the palace loses a child, it must be a sensational matter, and Princess Rui cannot possibly not know about it.

Not long after, Princess Rui was invited. "What's the matter, Girl Shen, are you in such a hurry?" With a dignified smile on her face, Princess Rui sat down opposite Shen Yue.

"Auntie Huang, I have something to ask you." Shen Yue said while pouring tea for her.

"What's the matter? You ask." Princess Rui picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Seventeen years ago, which prince had ever lost a child? A girl?'
As soon as Shen Yuyu's words came out, Princess Rui's hand holding the tea suddenly stopped, and her eyes changed.

"Why do you ask this?" She said in an obscure tone.

Shen Yue was startled when he saw her expression.

Such a reaction is not normal. Could it be that it was Prince Rui's Mansion who lost the child?
Shen Yuyu hurriedly took out the deposit slip and placed it in front of Princess Rui.

After seeing it, Princess Rui's hands began to tremble, and she slowly took the deposit slip into her hands, her eyes suddenly filled with tears.

"Is this from Jinhong Jade Shop?"

"Yes, Auntie Huang." Shen Yue nodded gently, staring at her deeply, knowing that she must be hiding a long-dusted past, so he did not disturb her and watched silently.

"Where is this jade pendant now?" Princess Rui narrowed her eyes tightly, tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.

"In the hands of a girl." Shen Yuyu answered truthfully, "She came to Dazhou from Daqi to find relatives. She said that she was abducted from the capital of Dazhou to Daqi 17 years ago.

"Where is she?" Princess Rui grabbed Shen Yuyu's hand, excited, "She is my daughter, she is my daughter, take me to see her quickly!"

"Don't worry, Auntie Huang, I'll send someone to fetch the girl right away." Although Shen Yuyu didn't like Wang Qiu, but when he thought that she was Auntie Huang's lost daughter, he had no choice but to give up his prejudice.

"Well, go ahead." Princess Rui's face was full of tears and her eyes were full of sadness.

"Auntie Huang, what's going on? Can you tell me?" After Shen Yue sent people to Yunlai Inn, he looked at Princess Rui and asked.

Princess Rui put the tear-stained deposit slip on the table, calmed her mind, and spoke slowly.

"Seventeen years ago, I was pregnant. After checking my pulse, the doctor said I was having twins."

"This is not a good sign. Your uncle and I are so scared that we don't dare to hide this matter for fear of giving birth to a pair of boys."

"Half a month before I gave birth, I got news that there was a Guanyin temple where you could get a son if you asked for a son, and you could get a girl if you asked for a girl. So your uncle and I went to Jinxiang, hoping to give birth to a pair of girls, or a boy and a girl, but it didn't work. If you give birth to a pair of boys, one of them will be an unlucky witch boy.'

"Unexpectedly, the journey was bumpy, and when I came back, my tire pressure moved halfway, and I suddenly gave birth prematurely.'

"I could only find a dilapidated temple to give birth temporarily. At this time, a carriage happened to pass by. A woman in the carriage said that she knew how to deliver babies. Your uncle was so panicked that he asked her for help. Who would have expected that woman would take advantage of my unconsciousness? On the occasion, a child was stolen.”

"That's it." Shen Yuyu nodded after hearing this. She knew that having twins was actually a kind of inheritance, and the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty had this kind of inheritance.

However, the smallpox incident in the East Palace more than 20 years ago, which may have been man-made, actually left such an unlucky legend, causing people to be frightened when they were pregnant with twins.

After a silence, Shen Yue asked Princess Rui, "What did the woman who delivered your baby look like? Does the Queen still remember her?" She always felt that something was wrong with this woman. How could she appear there by such a coincidence? She also stole it. One of the children.
