Chapter 961: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (eighty-three)
The court was noisy. Lord Du waved his hand, and the officers cleared the court, and it became quiet again.
He continued his interrogation, "Ms. Zhou, I want to ask you, was your child who died young a boy or a girl? Where was he buried? Does he have a birthmark on his body?"
Zhou covered her face and cried, "Sir, my child passed away a long time ago. I feel so heartbroken every time I think about it. Why do you keep asking? You are just rubbing salt into my heart!"
Lord Du maintained a cold-blooded attitude and did not stop the interrogation because of Zhou's crying. He repeated it.
Midwife Yu did not wail, but listened to Lord Du's interrogation with tears in her eyes, her eyes fixed on Zhou.
Zhou was stiff for a moment before she slowly answered that she gave birth to a baby girl, who was buried in the back mountain of Dajue Temple and had no birthmark on her body.
Midwife Yu pointed at Zhou and said she was lying, saying that the baby girl clearly had a flower-shaped birthmark on her right arm.
"You're mistaken! My child doesn't have a birthmark!"
Zhou's tone was very affirmative. Midwife Yu was confused at first, but then she shook her head and said that she was not mistaken, because the birthmark was too special. It was exactly the size of a five-petal flower, the size of a fingernail, and it looked beautiful.
"The birthmark on my right arm looks like a five-petal flower and is the size of a fingernail. I've delivered so many babies, so it's not uncommon for me to have a birthmark, but it's rare for a birthmark to be this beautiful.
My Lord, when I returned home from delivering a baby at Dajue Temple, I boasted to all the neighbors, saying that I had delivered a lucky baby and that I would surely share in the good fortune in the future.
Bah, it's not a lucky star, it's clearly a disaster star, it only harms poor people like us."
Midwife Yu was actually almost sixty years old. After falling down the hillside, there was a river below. She floated down the river and was rescued.
He survived a great disaster, but there was no blessing in the future.
She had no money and was seriously injured. It took her several years to recover. It was difficult for her to return to Beijing, not to mention that she was afraid of implicating her family, so she didn't dare to go back to Beijing at all.
I have concerns about people far away and cannot start a new life.
I have been traveling to many places over the years and my health has been damaged.
Back then, she was a plump woman. Although she didn't look delicate, she was very approachable and her midwifery skills were well-known far and wide. She supported herself and her son, but now she is skinny.
She returned to Beijing at this time because she felt that her life was coming to an end and wanted to go home quietly to see her son.
She knew that her husband might have married someone new a long time ago, but it didn't matter. Her son had grown up. When the accident happened, she was planning to find a matchmaker for her son. She might have grandchildren over the years. She fantasized about watching her son and his family live from afar. She would just watch from afar and not disturb them.
But who knew that her husband and son would live forever in the past thirteen years.
She was originally ill and relied on the courage to return home to survive. Now that her home is gone, she hopes for revenge. Zhou is still lying, so how can Yu the midwife let it go?
"Yu, please draw the pattern of the birthmark."
The big lady suddenly became excited, she stood up and gave orders.
Lord Du gave an order, and paper and pen were immediately placed in front of Yu.
She took the pen and drew little by little. Although her movements were slow, Lord Du and the eldest lady did not rush her.
Many of the Yu family's former neighbors have moved away, but many still live in the same place. After all, moving is not easy, and many people live in the same place their entire lives.
According to their recollections, Yu did mention that she delivered a baby girl whose birthmark was a five-petal flower, which was very beautiful. However, when asked about the specific time, they only remembered the year, month, and day, but could not remember clearly.
Midwife Yu still remembered it. After all, she had thought about those things over and over again over the years, for fear that she would forget her past and her pain.
"The day of delivery was the tenth day of the third month of the second year of Zhaowen!"
This familiar date made the elder look puzzled.
