C348 A Poor Man Comes out from Nowhere

People have been missing for so many days, no news at all.

The guards on the street had also left. This matter had been closely monitored by the Ministry of Justice, but there were still no clues.

Today was the day Yu Longchen was released from his imprisonment. He was going to the court, and when Mu Ruqing woke up, she had already left.

He washed up and dressed up well, and drank the lean meat porridge. servant girl came to report, "Princess, there are two farmers at the door. They said that the Imperial Residence robbed their child and many people who passed by were watching."

"What?" Lingyue frowned and handed Mu Ruqing some water to rinse her mouth.

"The guards haven't even touched them yet and they already said that the guards beat them up. They were actually unable to do anything to them for a moment." servant girl lowered her head.

"Lingyue, let's go and take a look." Mu Ruqing stood up and tidied her slightly wrinkled clothes.

"I can go. The Princess should still be in the room." Lingyue put away the things and stood side by side with servant girl who came to report.

"No, I want to personally take a look. There is such a rogue." Mu Ruqing had been very bored these few days and Yun Xi was quietly living in the Imperial Residence. As such, Mu Ruqing could not be bothered with her.

"These unruly people have hurt the Princess..."

"Isn't there still you guys? As the mistress of the Imperial Residence, if I don't go, they will call me guilty instead." Mu Ruqing said and walked out.

Lingyue had no choice but to let a few servant girl follow.

Before they reached the door, they heard the noise outside.

"My child, I don't know if he is alive or dead in King Chu's Mansion... She's still so young..." The woman looked to be in her thirties. Her skin was sallow and the pores on her face were very large. There were also some black spots on her face, and she was wearing a rough gray clothing. The color was a bit yellowish, and she was sitting on the ground, slapping the ground. She was crying and making noise.

"Everyone, please judge. King Chu's Mansion has captured my child. I don't even know what kind of life I'm living!" The one who spoke was a man who looked to be in his forties. He had a beard under his chin and nose. His hair was messy, and he had different lengths of hair. There seemed to be mud, and his collarbone protruded under his clothes. His skin color was almost the same as mud.

"It's not better to be in the Imperial Residence than following you..."

"I don't know what they are messing about. There's a daughter in the Imperial Residence. They should burn incense and pray to Buddha!"

"That's right, that's right. The treatment in the Imperial Residence is so good. How many people want to go in and find a job?"

"However, according to what they said, it was the people from the Imperial Residence who forcefully seized their child."

"Who knows? Would the Imperial Residence still lack a little servant girl?"

The surrounding people pointed and pointed at each other, as if they knew everything, and they could judge whether this matter was right or wrong.

"Princess Chu came out..."

"Princess Chu..."

Following the words of the onlookers, the two troublemakers turned their heads and looked at the King Chu's Mansion's main entrance.

The woman was stunned for a moment, and she reacted first. She knelt on the ground and crawled a few steps. "The peasant greets the Princess, please return the child of the peasant to us."

"That's right. Please do us a favor." The man also crawled over.

"Where are you from? Who is your surname? Do you know that if anything happens, you will be imprisoned! " Lingyue pointed at the two of them and said.

Changxu stood beside Mu Ruqing to protect her. He was very helpless towards these two people. He could not chase them away and could not hit them.

"The peasant is Tian Ba Village's Tian Lai, twenty miles away from the capital. This is the Wang Clan, a lowly clan. " The man's attitude could be considered respectful, as if he was frightened by Lingyue.

"If you don't leave now, we will send you to Lord Mayor's magistrate office!" How could they ignore Lingyue's imposing manner?

Tian Lai pulled Wang Wang from behind and gave her a look.

Wang Chao started to cry again and kowtowed to Mu Ruqing, "Princess, there is only one girl in our family. Please let her come back!"

The surrounding people started to talk at the same time.

Mu Ruqing swept her eyes around and only then did they quieten down a little.

Changxu gave a hand signal. The guard had not gone down the stairs yet.

Wang Chao raised his head and looked fierce. "If you dare to come over, I will die for you to see. Our family only has one girl. If you don't return her to us, you might as well die!"

"That's right, that's right!" Tian Lai also agreed. He lowered his head and pretended to wipe away his tears.

The guard received Mu Ruqing's signal and retreated.

"You all keep saying that the Imperial Residence snatched your child. Then I would like to ask, what is your child's name? Why did he come to the Imperial Residence without knowing clearly? " Lingyue put her hands on her waist and showed an unforgiving look, "As parents, why didn't your child come to the Imperial Residence to ask for it!"

" Miss, there is something that you do not know. When the child was four or five years old, he was kidnapped and our husband and wife have been looking for him until now. A while ago, we found some traces of him. The child was sold and sold a few times. At the end of it all, we went to King Chu's Mansion. " Tian Lai had a sincere look on his face, and his old face was filled with longing.

"Since that's the case, you should go to the magistrate office to file a case. Investigate clearly. If the child is really in the duke's residence, it won't be too late for you to visit him again. " Although Lingyue still had her imposing manner, it was still a little weaker than before.

"We went, but the magistrate office did not accept it. They only said that it was a small matter." Wang Chong wiped away his tears and cried very sadly.

With just a few words, the two of them became Ke Ling's parents who had been looking for their beloved daughter for many years. The viewpoint of the onlookers changed once again. They began to feel heartache for them.

"With just a few words from you, is it true? Today, you all came. Tomorrow, they will come. Could it be that the servant girl of the Imperial Residence is your lost daughter?" Lingyue did not give in, even if she had more words to say. How could it be justified if she did not get her revenge for violating the name of the Imperial Residence?

"But, we have proof from those old women Ya Ya." Tian Lai took out a crumpled paper from his sleeve, "We are crude people, we can't see clearly even with our eyes."

"According to what you said, old lady Ya Ya bought your daughter. According to the law of Dayong, this is against the law, she has been astute for her entire life. Why would I tell you all this? This is King Chu's Mansion, not an ordinary citizen, how could that old woman Ya Ya not know how powerful it is? " Lingyue coldly snorted, the corner of her mouth slanted, "What exactly is your goal?!"

"Miss, Princess! We really just want to find my child." Both of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed towards Mu Ruqing. The so-called evidence in their hands was also kneaded into a ball.

The crowd began to say things that were not good for the Imperial Residence. As the saying goes, when there are too many people talking, those who watch the show would always stand at the highest moral position and criticize the parties involved.

"Do your children have any birthmarks or something like that? It can confirm the child's identity. " Mu Ruqing opened her mouth. Her clear voice made many people stop talking, "How old should the child be?"

" Reporting to the Princess, it should be twelve by now. " Wang Chao stopped crying and carefully answered Mu Ruqing's question, "There is a dark red birthmark under the left armpit of the child. There is no specific shape."

Twelve years old, it should be the little girl that Uncle Xiong brought back.

"If there is no such girl in the Imperial Residence, what would you do?" Mu Ruqing asked seriously.

The two of them looked at each other and replied, "The peasants will leave."

"Leave? It sounded nice. Do you know that after today's disturbance, the Imperial Residence will become the laughing stock of others? " Mu Ruqing did not have a smile on her face, but it made the two of them somewhat flustered. " If not, you can go to the capital city's Yin Residence and surrender yourselves. The crime is to offend the imperial authority. "

"Princess..." The two of them cried out in shock.
