My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!

2700 Chapter 2700-picked up
Lu Zheng didn’t tell Gu Xin his thoughts, because he wasn’t sure if the Wang family would die the same way they did in this life. He didn’t want to mislead Gu Xin.

Gu Xin asked he gang to follow the people who knew the mother and daughter-in-law to the village at the foot of the mountain and bring them back for questioning.

After two hours, he gang and the others brought that pair of mother and daughter-in-law and appeared.

Gu Xin sized up the two of them the moment they entered the room.

This mother-in-law had the appearance of a very ordinary village woman from the great Zhou Dynasty. She was very thin, and her hair was half white, but it was neatly combed. Although her clothes were not patched, they were old from washing. Her hands were holding her hair uneasily, and she looked rather nervous.

However, his wife was a little different.

This wife was a little fair and clean. Although she was very thin, she was indeed a little fair. She did not look old, about 20 years old. Her expression was a little dull, and her eyes were a little dull. Her pair of hands were obviously not like the hands of someone who worked all year round, although they were not as delicate as the hands of a young lady.

“I, Zhang Liushi, pay my respects to Princess Xinxin.” Her mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu, knelt down, then pulled her daughter-in-law and said, ” Your Highness, this is my daughter-in-law, silly girl. Her, her brain has always been bad, and she doesn’t know how to talk. I hope your Highness doesn’t mind.

His wife knelt down in confusion and looked at Gu Xin curiously, her eyes moving.
Zhang Liushi, ” Gu Xin said. how old is your daughter-in-law, silly ya, this year? ”

Mrs Liu was startled.

Silly ya revealed a silly smile. “Silly girl, sixteen.”

Zhang Liushi quickly pulled the silly girl and said apologetically, ” “No, no. Princess, don’t blame her, silly girl isn’t 16. She was 16 when I picked her up, and now, 10 years have passed, she’s 26.”

I’m 16, ” silly girl muttered. I’m 16.

Zhang Liushi covered the silly girl’s mouth in a panic.

The silly girl whimpered a few times and looked at Zhang Liushi with tears in her eyes.

Zhang Liushi panicked and said,”be good, stop it.” When we go back, mother will give you candy, be good.”

The silly girl wiped her tears and smiled. “Good, silly girl, be good. Don’t mess around and eat your candy. Hello, mother.”

Zhang Liushi heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Gu Xin in fear.

“You picked up this silly girl?” Gu Xin asked.

“Y-yes,” said Zhang Liushi with a face full of fear. Your Highness, at that time, I, I was washing clothes by the river, and the silly girl floated down from the river and just happened to float in front of me. The commoner touched her and found that she was still breathing, so she carried her back. The woman even spent money to buy her medicine, but when she woke up, she couldn’t remember anything. She didn’t know her name or how old she was. It was the doctor Who said that she was around sixteen years old, and then she remembered that she was sixteen. All these years, every time someone asked her about her age, she would say she was 16.”

Gu Xin furrowed her brows,”you didn’t hand him over to the Yamen?” Since she had drifted down from the river, she had not asked anyone if they had seen her before. Didn’t you keep the clothes she was wearing and help her find them?”

“Your Highness, I’m just a widow, raising a son who’s been in poor health since he was young,” Zhang Liushi said with difficulty. This commoner’s wife had never travelled far and had not seen the world, so she could only ask for help from the Lizheng. The officer helped to report the situation to the Yamen, but no one came to recognize him. It’s already not easy for a commoner to raise her son and herself, so she doesn’t want to raise another person.”
