Thrown Into the Wolf's Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year Chapter 191

Xie Suzhi was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, his voice was filled with sadness.

 “She is dead.”

Shen Ningning, who was sitting at the table, was suddenly startled.

The emperor was also very surprised: "What? When you went to Shuzhou this time, you only found news of her death?"

Xie Suzhi's eyes were bloodshot and dark green: "When the little girl was born, it rained heavily all over the capital. Later, there was a saying of the blessed girl."

“So my wife's maid had evil intentions and wanted to steal the child and sell it at a good price. This time I went to Shuzhou and finally found the maid.”

"After some severe interrogation, she told the truth. It turned out that when she was running away with her little girl in her arms, the little girl contracted an illness and died shortly after she was born."

 Speaking of this, Xie Suzhi, who is known as the iron-faced prime minister, cried and beat himself.

Shen Ningning murmured: "How is that possible..."

 She is not Uncle Xie's daughter?

 Xie Suzhi's cries infected everyone present, and everyone sympathized with his plight.

He said in a hoarse voice: "I have been searching for my daughter for almost five years, but what I got was the news that she had passed away."

Among the ministers present, there were many who loved their daughters. After hearing this, they also lamented repeatedly and said: "How pitiful."

 Xie Suzhi talked about the sad part, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Prime Minister!" "Thank you, sir!" Everyone turned pale, and the emperor hurriedly called the imperial doctor.

Shen Ningning also stood up from her seat immediately, but Xie Mingxu had already rushed to Xie Suzhi's side.

 The little guy thought about his status as nothing, and sat down silently again.

With the support of his eldest son and his entourage, Xie Suzhi stood up slowly and tremblingly.

He covered his heart and raised his eyes to look at the emperor. His narrow eyes were bloodshot and his lips were stained with blood, which added a bit of pain and despair to his cold, pale and handsome face.

The emperor was startled and said hurriedly: "Thank you Aiqing, in that case, you should go back and have a good rest. I will give you half a month... no, a month of rest. Please forgive me and take care of yourself."

Xie Suzhi shook his head and declined General Chen who came to help him back.

“Your Majesty, I haven't finished speaking yet. Please give me a favor.”

He straightened up slightly and breathed a sigh of relief: "The maid also confessed that when the little girl first got sick, she met a kind-hearted farmer who took her and the little girl home for care and treatment."

“The farmer and his wife took great care of their little girl, but unfortunately, in the end, nothing worked.”

“However, in order to thank the couple, the maid gave the Ruyi, which the little girl was wearing, to the couple's daughter.”

 Shen Ningning turned pale when she heard this.

 Her little hands clenched the Ruyi tied around her waist through her clothes.

Xie Suzhi said: "Later, bandits attacked, and the farmer and his wife asked the maid to take their daughter to escape with them."

"But the maid was unfaithful and unjust. She actually abandoned their child in the forest and took the minister's daughter away."

“Today, I have come to ask for grace for the child of the farmer and his wife. They and their family are all the benefactors of the little girl. Although they failed to save the little girl in the end, I cannot but repay this kindness.”

“Now, I have found their surviving child.”

Xie Suzhi finally looked at Shen Ningning, his eyes filled with tears and mixed emotions: "Shen Ningning, you are my benefactor."

The autumn wind blows in, carrying the fragrance of osmanthus all over the island. The golden stamens swirl and fall into the lake, causing ripples.

 There was dead silence among the crowd.

Shen Ningning's moist eyes were full of confusion and confusion. Mo Lingwei suddenly stood up and shouted angrily: "This sounds really ridiculous. Why did Shen Ningning become a farmer's child?"

Xie Suzhi nodded: "The Ruyi on the little girl has a lotus pattern made of silver, and the words Shen Ningning are engraved on the back. This Ruyi was given to the farmer and his wife as a thank-you gift by the maid."

Mo Lingwei frowned: "Since it is something worn by the prime minister's daughter, why didn't you know about it before?"

Xie Suzhi's dark eyes turned to Concubine Rong: "This Ruyi was customized by Concubine Rong and my wife many years ago, and I didn't know about it."

 Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Concubine Rong.

The emperor hurriedly asked: "Concubine Rong, is this really the case?"

Concubine Rong Rourou stood up with heavy eyes, and she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Back to the emperor, it is indeed true. My sister and my concubine have made an agreement. As a guarantee, the children we have in the future will also be good sisters for the rest of their lives."

 This is why the name engraved on Ruyi follows the mother's surname Shen, not the father's surname.

 All the truth is revealed.

Xie Suzhi once again raised his hand to the emperor: "I ask the emperor to grant you grace. Shen Ningning is now alone in the world. I have failed her parents' kindness. I am willing to accept Shen Ningning as my goddaughter. Please witness the emperor and I will not treat her unfairly."

 The emperor pondered.

 Shen Ningning's real parents saved Xie Suzhi's daughter. Now that Shen Ningning's parents have passed away, it is understandable that Xie Suzhi wants to adopt Shen Ningning as his goddaughter.

Mo Lingwei looked at the little guy beside him.

But he saw her head lowered, her black hair blocking her fair cheeks, and her expression could not be seen.

 I could only feel that her little body was motionless, and I didn't know what she was thinking.

Xie Mingxu's eyes were complicated, and he looked away from his father's face in the direction of Shen Ningning.

The emperor also said: "I can make the decision, but I must first ask the princess what she wants."

 So, everyone was waiting for Shen Ningning to speak.

The little guy kept his head down. The Black Wolf King stood up, walked to Shen Ningning, and cupped her little hand with his head.

Just when Mo Lingwei felt that she was in a dilemma and wanted to help her refuse, Shen Ningning finally raised her head.

 The big eyes are as curved as crescent moons because of the smile, and the water inside is shining.

"Thank you, Uncle Prime Minister, I promise you." After Shen Ningning said this, she turned her face slightly and pretended to look at the Black Wolf King, but in fact she hid her tears.

Her soft voice was brisk and unnoticeably choked: "I sympathize with Uncle Xie's experience. Although we have all lost close relatives, we must be stronger so that our deceased relatives will not worry about us."

Xie Suzhi was a little stunned. His eyes were always looking at Shen Ningning's face, and he even forgot to speak for a moment.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense, and the emperor announced the banquet, breaking the eerie tranquility.

Today is the canonization banquet of Princess Shen Ningning, so many people came to toast her and please her.

 But she was sitting in the middle of the crowd, and everyone gathered around with smiles on their faces, but the little one blinked absently.

That polite smile is like a floating cloud that will disperse at any time.

Mo Lingwei couldn't stand it any longer. He put the cup on the table and took her little hand: "Follow me."

The emperor was drinking. Seeing them leaving in a hurry, he shouted: "Where are you going? The banquet is not over yet!"

Mo Lingwei and Shen Ningning were no longer visible, and the Black Wolf King had already followed them.
