Chapter 610 Think fast
Wu Qingfeng ran there and returned very quickly with Madam Huo and her nanny.
While Aunt Gu's child was diligently searching for the eagle pattern on the swaddling clothes, he returned, holding one in each hand.
Princess Zhenbei sat on the edge of the bed, clutching her chest, her gaze fixed on Granny Gu, but she did not utter a sound.
Only when she saw Madam Huo did she cry out with tears in her eyes, "Sister, look!"
Time was of the essence, and Wu Qingfeng didn't have time to explain what was going on before running all the way. Madam Huo was still panting and muttered to herself, "Good heavens, this brat is so old, yet he's still acting like a child."
But when she caught her sister's gaze, she quickly followed her line of sight and saw the swaddled baby in Aunt Gu's arms.
Madam Huo was taken aback, then exclaimed in surprise, "My goodness, elder sister, where did you get this swaddling clothes?"
As she spoke, she reached out her hand, "Don't move!"
Madam Huo was startled and looked around in confusion. Finally, Lin Chang'er explained, "Madam, have you seen this swaddling clothes before?"
Madam Huo nodded naturally, "I've seen it before, and I made this swaddle myself. It's made of the finest Yun brocade. Most families use red, but my sister prefers purple. In the whole capital, our family has the only purple swaddle. Even the rabbit flower pattern was something we came up with ourselves."
“The doctor said that my sister was pregnant with twins, and one of the babies had a stronger pulse. My sister and brother-in-law were worried that one of the babies would be weaker.”
"I thought to myself, it might not be that the children were weak, but perhaps they were twins? So the swaddling clothes I made were different. The brother's ears were both standing up, while the sister's ear was one standing up and the other folded down, to distinguish them."
Upon hearing this, Princess Zhenbei quickly agreed, "That's certainly true, elder sister. You can take out the two swaddling clothes and compare them."
Aunt Gu held the swaddled baby without saying a word. She had just looked at it and, although she hadn't found the eagle pattern, one of the ears was indeed folded.
However, even so, she still had some doubts in her heart.
Lin Chang'er could see that these superficial explanations alone were not enough to convince Aunt Gu.
She didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Madam, besides these facial features, is there anything else about your swaddling clothes that makes you different from other babies?"
Madam Huo was stunned. What she had just said was exactly what made their baby different.
Every single one?
She stared blankly at her son, only to see that his face was also grave.
Then I looked at my younger sister, whose eyes were full of expectation.
Then Madam Huo remembered that these were swaddling clothes meant for her nephew and niece. The fact that they were in Madam Gu's hands meant… well…
Those two children?
Madam Huo opened her eyes wide and looked at her son again.
Wu Qingfeng nodded without showing any emotion. Fearing that her son hadn't understood, Madam Huo turned to look at her sister, who also nodded.
Madam Huo then turned her gaze to Lin Chang'er, who nodded in agreement.
Madam Huo's heart pounded wildly, as if it were about to leap out of her chest.
Good news, the child has been found.
The bad news is that the older woman doesn't believe the child is theirs.
The younger sister restrained herself from arguing, fearing that her older sister would rebel.
The obvious features aren't enough to convince the older woman; think of other supporting evidence...
Madam Huo tried to clear her mind, but perhaps she was too excited, her mind was a mess, filled with the chaos of her sister's childbirth.
At the time, she was on her way to Huangjue Temple to offer incense. Her younger sister was heavily pregnant and shouldn't have gone out, but the war in the north was raging, and she was worried about her brother-in-law, so she insisted on praying for his safety in person.
Yes, "A lucky charm, I put a lucky charm in the baby's swaddling clothes..."
