Chapter 627: The Orphan Girl Whose Husband Died Flying to a Branch 8
When she saw Magistrate Wei and his wife, Ah Zhi hurriedly said politely to them, "I greet the Magistrate and his wife."
"How can you be so polite?"
Mrs. Wei hurried forward and helped Ah Zhi up.
When her eyes fell on Azhi's face, she felt indescribable shock in her heart.
Even at such a close distance, no flaws can be seen on the skin.
It can really be described as fragile.
"Please forgive me, sir and madam. I disturb you so late at night. I really have no other way to go. Please help me, sir and madam."
Ah Zhi's eyes were red and she looked pitiful. As she spoke, she was about to lower her body and kneel down, but Madam Wei held her tightly and stopped her.
"Child, why are you so polite? But what happened at home? Why are your eyes so red? Drink some water quickly to calm down."
Looking at the teacup handed to her by Mrs. Wei, Ah Zhi refused with tears.
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam. However, I am sorry to have to trouble you so I cannot drink this cup of tea."
"Why are you embarrassed? Just tell me what you want to say."
Although she knew clearly what had happened in Azhi's family, Mrs. Wei still wanted her to tell it in person so that she could make better conditions later.
Ah Zhi choked up and told Madam Wei everything. Finally, she bowed her head and begged, "I beg Madam Wei to help me. As long as you are willing to help my sister, I am willing to repay you by being a slave."
County Magistrate Wei, who was standing next to him, said nothing after hearing this.
At this time, Mrs. Wei spoke.
"It turned out to be such a small matter. I thought it was a big deal. No problem. I can help you. You don't need to repay me by being a slave. But I have encountered a difficult problem now, and I want Miss Lin to help me."
"Ma'am, please speak."
Mrs. Wei twisted her handkerchief and said softly, "Miss Lin saw it tonight. My husband and I have a daughter. She is our only child. She is as precious as a pearl and we will not let her suffer any grievances."
"It's just that some things are beyond our control. The quota for the three-year imperial selection fell on our family. I am a cowardly woman, and entering the palace is a dead end."
"If Miss Lin is willing to help, I am willing to pay a hundred taels of silver, and I will also protect your sister and her family, but you will have to sacrifice your own lifelong happiness."
For others, it means sacrificing happiness, but Ah Zhi is eager for the opportunity to enter the palace.
In order to avoid a tragic death like her original self, Ah Zhi had to enter the palace and step on Xu Ziyu's head, but she deliberately pretended to be surprised.
"Madam, you know that if this is done, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor. When the investigation is carried out, we will all die."
Even though they knew Ah Zhi was extremely intelligent, when they heard her analyze the pros and cons, Mrs. Wei and County Magistrate Wei were full of admiration.
"You are indeed very smart, and you see things very clearly. This matter is indeed a crime of deceiving the emperor, but parents who love their children will take long-term measures."
"We are willing to take risks for our children. Lili is innocent and has no ulterior motives. If she enters the palace, she will die. Do you understand, Miss Lin?"
Now the decision is in Azhi's hands.
Azhi looked at Mrs. Wei, then looked at Magistrate Wei next to him.
Thinking of his two nieces who were still in a coma, Azhi finally nodded.
"I am willing to enter the palace in your place, but my background is..."
"Don't worry. My husband and I had a child, but he was taken away as soon as he was born. After eighteen years, I finally found him."
"You will be Wei Ping'er, our eldest daughter. Lili is your biological sister who is two years younger than you. You and Lili have similar features, so I think it won't be a problem for you to enter the palace."
"My husband and I will make arrangements in advance, and no one will know your true identity. Don't say you are worried about being exposed. Our family of three is also afraid."
At first, Mrs. Wei wanted Azhi to enter the palace under someone else's identity, but some things were not justifiable, so Magistrate Wei told her not to impersonate someone else.
Since the list of candidates has not been finalized yet, the worst that can happen is to recognize a daughter. Since the girl's features are similar to Wei Li's, it won't be a problem to fabricate an identity for her.
Mrs. Wei thought it made sense, so she said this.
With Madam Wei's assurance, Ah Zhi knelt down obediently and said, "My daughter greets my parents."
"Good girl, get up quickly. From now on, you are our biological daughter. I will ask the maid to go back with you tomorrow morning. There are some things that need to be dealt with."
Mrs. Wei's attitude towards Ah Zhi was still very gentle, and the magistrate Wei next to her also had a friendly look in her eyes.
Azhi nodded without any dissatisfaction.
With Mrs. Wei's arrangement, Ah Zhi bathed and changed her clothes into a silk skirt with exquisite embroidery. Her slender waist was even softer than Wei Li's.
The maid combed Azhi's hair into a bun and put pearls and velvet flowers on her hair. This kind of dressing made her beautiful yet not ostentatious.
Looking at the drastically changed self in the mirror, Azhi couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his cheek.
"The lady is so pretty."
The maid who spoke was Meixiang, sent by Madam Wei.
Madam Wei and Magistrate Wei have already informed everyone in the Wei family that Azhi is their lost daughter many years ago.
It is imperative that the servants and maids take good care of her. Anyone who dares not obey the instructions will be sold out.
No one doubted its authenticity.
Mrs. Wei did have a stillbirth back then. More than ten years have passed and the midwife who delivered the baby has died. It would be very difficult to find out the truth.
The original body had been sold several times, making it even more difficult to investigate.
Azhi smiled shyly at Meixiang in the mirror.
"Don't tease me. Let's go. I have to go back."
In the carriage, Azhi seemed to be worried.
Mei Xiang, who was standing by, asked her with concern, "Miss, are you worried?"
Meixiang was only staying with Azhi temporarily, and soon Azhi entered the palace and became a maid.
How could this palace maid bring a servant girl with her? Meixiang was the spy sent by Madam Wei.
Azhi took a deep breath and shook his head gently.
"It's okay, don't worry."
The Chen family was in chaos, and Wang Yue'e was going crazy.
It seemed that Chen Lianchun and Chen Lianhua had no more medicine to take.
She had no choice but to find Old Mrs. Chen and beg for mercy.
Unexpectedly, the other party was determined to kill Chen Lianchun and Chen Lianhua, and no matter how Wang Yue'e begged, it was useless.
Seeing that Old Lady Chen was so heartless, Wang Yue'e started to go crazy and the whole yard was in chaos.
"You damned old woman! If my daughter is gone, I will definitely kill you. You must return the money to me today, otherwise I will never forgive you!"
Wang Yue'e held the kitchen knife and trembled all over, staring at Chen Lao with a vicious look.
Chen Dongliang, who was standing by, wanted to step forward to dissuade them, but unexpectedly Wang Yue'e also attacked him.
"Don't come here!"
