PFC Chapter 127 Could it be that Mother was carrying twins?
Chapter 127 Could it be that Mother was carrying twins?
Su Yinyin walked to Lin's side, stroked her hair, and sneered, "Hmph, you say you only found out today, but who can vouch for you?"
Lin looked troubled, then gritted her teeth and said, "It was the old woman who adopted me who told me. She was a midwife, one of the midwives who helped Lady Hou give birth."
Su Yinyin was startled, but remained outwardly calm. "Oh, then tell me, was that what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Lin eagerly said, "Grandma said that she and Granny Li were arranged by Madam Hou to deliver her babies long ago."
But when Lady Hou gave birth that day, Granny Li was nowhere to be seen. Granny was very curious about where Granny Li had gone. Just as Granny was about to ask, the Marquis invited a midwife named Granny Chen.
Furthermore, at that time, Lady Hou was in a critical situation, so the old woman didn't have time to pay attention to Granny Li.
Furthermore, the Marquis instructed the old woman to merely assist him. The rest was to be handled by Granny Chen, and the old woman had no choice but to obey. Not long after, the Marquis's wife gave birth to a daughter. Granny Chen then entrusted the young lady to the old woman's care.
The old woman said that when she was cleaning the girl, she noticed a mole under her earlobe.
Upon hearing this, Su Yinyin and Su Yue unconsciously clenched their hands; Su Yue did indeed have a mole on her earlobe. However, they both tried to remain calm.
Madam Lin continued, "While Grandma was cleaning the stains off Miss's clothes, she was secretly observing Granny Chen. Granny Chen glanced at Madam Hou and then rushed out. She returned in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, took Miss directly from Grandma's arms, and left."
Seeing that Granny Chen ignored Madam Hou and did not help her clean up the postpartum grime, Granny Chen had many questions in her mind, but dared not say anything. When Granny Chen went over to help Madam Hou clean up the postpartum grime, she discovered that Madam Hou had a child inside her belly.
Under the guidance of the old woman, the lady soon gave birth to another baby girl, and that baby girl was me.
After Grandma helped Lady Hou and me clean up, she happily carried me out to announce the good news.
But when the old woman reached the door, she overheard a woman talking to the Marquis. The woman's intention was to switch the child born to the Marquis's wife with the child of the woman speaking at the door.
Moreover, the old woman was absolutely certain that the woman wanted the Lady of the Marquis dead. The Marquis also agreed with the woman's actions. Seeing that my wife and I were pitiful, the old woman went back to her room and told the Lady of the Marquis about the matter.
Lady Hou felt that she was outmatched, so she gave my old woman a jade pendant and begged her to take me to the Duke's mansion for help. My old woman took the jade pendant and then led me to jump out of another window.
On the way, I saw Granny Chen walking towards her, so she hid me.
When Granny Chen asked the old woman where she was going, the old woman could only make up an excuse to say that she was going to the toilet.
Granny Chen handed the young lady in her arms to Granny A, and told Granny A to go with her to Master Hao to receive the reward.
The old woman had no choice but to follow them back. Along the way, the old woman looked at the young lady in her arms and noticed that the mole under the young lady's earlobe was gone, so she knew that the young lady had been switched.
When Granny Chen and Granny Chen returned to Lady Hou's courtyard, the doctor said that Lady Hou had died from postpartum hemorrhage.
The old woman found it strange; the lady was perfectly fine when she left. She was conscious and showed no signs of discomfort, just exhaustion. How could she have died from postpartum hemorrhage?
Su Yinyin clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. "Do you know where that midwife is now?"
Madam Lin shook her head. "Grandma didn't know. She only knew that the midwife disappeared not long after. Grandma was afraid of being silenced, so she hid under an assumed name. She only told me the truth shortly before she passed away."
Su Yinyin calmly said, "This is just your side of the story. How can you believe the words of a midwife? Maybe you bribed her to make up lies."
Lin hurriedly waved her hand, "How could I dare? Grandma is already dying, there's no need for her to lie to me. Besides, if I really wanted to impersonate her, why would I wait until now?"
I could go directly to the Duke's mansion to find the old lady. But none of the masters of the Duke's mansion are in the capital.
"Hmph, going to the Marquis's mansion is suicide. I know full well that the Marquis is the murderer of my mother."
Su Yinyin hesitated. After listening to what Lin said, she realized that it all made some sense.
Furthermore, proving whether Lin is indeed his sister is actually quite simple: just take Lin's hair and do a DNA test on Su Yinyin's hair. And this DNA comparison is currently underway.
Just now, when Su Yinyin stroked Lin's hair, she pulled out a strand of Lin's hair. The sudden pain on her head made Lin frown in confusion.
Su Yinyin looked at the old lady and Su Yue, "Grandmother, what do you mean?"
The old lady had been observing Lin's every word and action and found that Lin had many similarities to her daughter. Moreover, she spoke with great conviction that perhaps her daughter had been pregnant with twins.
Looking back, the old lady once said to her daughter, "Your belly is so big, are you pregnant with twins?" Her daughter replied firmly, "No, the doctor said it's a single pregnancy. It's also possible that I've been eating too much, so my belly is showing." The old lady believed her. Now, looking back, there are clues to all of this.
The old lady said, "Yinyin, no matter what, let's check if the image on her back is real or fake first!"
After pondering for a moment, Su Yinyin nodded in agreement. She then asked Li Lan to stand guard at the door.
When the phoenix pattern on Lin's back became visible, Su Yinyin frowned; things were getting tricky.
Su Yinyin, the old lady, and Su Yue exchanged glances and all nodded, confirming that it was true.
Su Yinyin took a deep breath. "Where's the jade pendant?"
Madam Lin hurriedly took out the jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to Su Yinyin.
Su Yinyin took the jade pendant, walked up to the old lady, and handed it to her.
The old lady examined it carefully for a while, nodded, and said, "This jade pendant is indeed your mother's jade pendant. Your mother cherished this jade pendant more than her own life."
The old lady sighed, stood up, walked to Lin's side, took Lin's hand and said, "Child, it seems you really are my granddaughter. You've suffered so much all these years."
Just then, a message came from the space: the DNA comparison results were in. Su Yinyin pretended to look through the contents of the bag, but actually she was looking at the comparison results.
The above indicates that this Ms. Lin is related to me by blood. It seems my mother was carrying twins.
Could it be that the Marquis bribed the doctor during Mother's pregnancy? But that doesn't make sense either. If the Marquis had bribed the doctor, they should have known that Mother was carrying twins.
Why didn't Mother know? And why didn't the Marquis know? It seems the Marquis's mansion is a very complicated place.
The test results showed that this Lin woman was also Su Yinyin's sister. Su Yinyin quickly accepted this fact.
Su Yinyin said, "Since all the evidence proves that you are my biological sister, I will believe you for now, but I will still send someone to investigate."
Suddenly, Madam Lin knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old lady, saying, "Thank you for acknowledging me!" She then turned to Su Yinyin and kowtowed again, saying, "Thank you, sister. I have family now."
Seeing that Su Yinyin remained unmoved, Lin was very anxious and didn't know what she had done wrong.
