Chapter 814: Mother’s Surname is Wu, Father’s Surname is He…
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Every festive season she missed her parents more than ever.
Furthermore, it was a festival like the Mid-Autumn Festival, where everyone was happy.
Wu Zhu’er grew up in the Su residence. When she was very young, she asked about her father and mother. At that time, the people in the residence said that her father and mother had died of the plague. It was Xu Mingzhi who brought her back to the residence.
At that time, she even gave her family a burial fee.
Because of this matter, Wu Zhu’er had always been very grateful to Madam Xu and Eldest Miss. She had treated them as her only family for so many years. When Madam Xu left the Su residence, she had resolutely chosen to leave with them.
Zhou Zicheng’s sudden question puzzled her.
“My parents passed away when I was very young. It was Madam Xu…” Her words were interrupted by a series of cold laughs.
Facing her shocked gaze, Zhou Zicheng revealed a truth that Wu Zhu’er could not accept!
Her parents were not dead at all. Her father owed the Su family money, and she was forcefully taken to the Su residence by Xu Mingzhi to pay off the debt!
Of course, Wu Zhu’er would not believe such nonsense until Zhou Zicheng brought her along to meet her biological parents!
Ever since their daughter was taken away, the old couple had been crying every day. Their temples were gray and they looked extremely haggard.
After being stunned for a long time, they finally recognized Wu Zhu’er, who had grown into a big girl. The old couple cried bitterly, especially her mother. She called Zhou Zicheng a living Bodhisattva and kowtowed to the ground with a loud bang. They were sincere.
Wu Zhu’er was also confused at first, but when she saw the two of them being so agitated that they really did not look like scammers, she did not know why, but she also cried.
Perhaps blood is thicker than water.
Her mother unintentionally mentioned that she liked to eat osmanthus cakes.
This was something that most people did not know, but she said that she liked to eat them since she was very young. She did not expect that her taste had not changed even after she grew up. She was still a little glutton.
This time, Wu Zhu’er completely believed him. She asked them why they hadn’t come to her for so many years since they were still alive.
However, when she mentioned this, her mother sobbed and beat her chest and stomped her feet, crying that Xu Mingzhi was a barbaric and cruel shrew. Madam and Master Su definitely could not stand her!
Xu Mingzhi was afraid that they would take back the child, so she did not let them go to the Su residence to see their daughter. Every time they went, they were beaten. She was extremely ruthless.
They really had no choice but to comfort themselves by saying that their daughter might be able to live a good life in a rich family.
However, they still missed their daughter too much. A few years later, they couldn’t help but go again. However, they were told that Xu Mingzhi had already separated from Master Su and their daughter had also been taken away from the Su residence.
After that, for a long time, Xu Mingzhi brought them around and had no fixed residence, so no one knew where they went.
The timeline matched. Even if Wu Zhu’er did not want to believe it…she had no choice but to believe it!
All this time, she had mistaken her enemy for her benefactor. To think that she had cried so sadly in front of Madam Xu’s bed when she died!
If she had known, she would have laughed out loud. Only then would she be able to live up to the grievances her father and mother had suffered for so many years!
Although the young miss was still young back then and might not know much about this matter, but…she was carved from the same mold as Madam Xu. Since she was young, all the servants in the Su residence had said so.
After they grew up, the mother-daughter relationship became even deeper.
Therefore, if Madam Xu was hypocritical and despicable, she was no better!
Moreover, Madam Xu was already dead. She died too easily. Now that Wu Zhu’er wanted revenge, she could only start with Su Ji!
Wu Zhuer’s tone was filled with righteous indignation and her expression was very agitated as she recounted this matter.
Opposite her, Prince Huai was expressionless, like a cold-blooded animal without any empathy.
Su Ji was slightly better, but not by much.
Halfway through, she lost her patience. “He said that they’re your parents, and you believed him?”
To think that she used to think that this little girl was quite clever.
It was such an obvious brainwashing method, but she couldn’t tell?
However, Wu Zhu’er still had no intention of waking up. Instead, she reached into her pocket and took out a bulging purse. She opened it and found a stack of square papers inside. When she opened it, it was a portrait of the old couple.
This was the birthday gift from her foster father, Zhou Zicheng.
He knew that she missed her parents, but in order to help him do things, she had to stay in the palace all year round and stay by the side of her enemy’s daughter, so he specially ordered the painter to draw a portrait of the old couple for her.
Wu Zhu’er showed the portrait to Su Ji. “Why wouldn’t I believe him? Do you think he is like you? He wouldn’t lie to me about such an important matter!”
Su Ji looked at the painting and rubbed her chin with her fair and slender fingers.
In the portrait, the old couple were emaciated and their backs were hunched.
Looking at Wu Zhu’er again, she was fat, round, and extremely plump.
No matter how she looked at it…
Su Ji pointed at the painting. “Do you think they look like your parents?”
Prince Huai shook his head cooperatively.
He would be a very obedient boyfriend.
Su Ji’s gaze fell back on Wu Zhu’er. “Your mother, Wu, died in the 36th year of the Great Shang. My mother paid for her burial. Even I know about this. If you had any brains, you wouldn’t have been fooled by that b * stard!”
In her previous life, she was actually killed by such a clumsy lie. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that she had suffered a loss.
“Wu?” Unexpectedly, Wu Zhu’er laughed even louder. Your Highness really don’t even know how to lie! Children always follow their father’s surname.
Even if Your Highness wanted to cover up a lie, you should have said my father,
However, Su Ji’s expression remained calm. “I’ve also heard about this. Your parents are very close, and your father dotes on your mother very much. The year you were born, your grandfather died of illness, and the Wu family only had one son for three generations. In order to let your father-in-law pass away in peace, your father promised him that you would take your mother’s surname, Wu…”
This story could not be made up in just a few seconds.
Moreover, Su Ji’s expression of “believe it or not” made people even more suspicious.
Wu Zhu’er stared at Su Ji suspiciously. “Then tell me, what’s my father’s surname?”
Su Ji thought for a moment. “If I remember correctly, his surname is He.” Wu Zhuer pursed her lips.
She refused to believe that she would be deceived. Such a complete story, with witnesses and physical evidence, how could it be fake?
Moreover…
“I’m just a little servant girl. He spent so much effort lying to me, what benefits can he get?”
She couldn’t figure it out herself.
Prince Huai nodded. “It’s true that you’re a maidservant, but don’t forget whose maidservant you are. Your death is not to be pitied, but if you’re the reason the Consort Dowager die…”
His eyes narrowed dangerously, and a vicious aura appeared. Wu Zhu’er’s heart skipped a beat.
The ridiculous portrait in her hand fell…
Su Ji also realized something.
Wu Zhu’er’s mother’s surname was Wu, and her father’s surname was He.. From her figure, one of her parents must be chubby…
