During the Ming Dynasty, there was a family named Qiu in Kuye Town. The head of the family Qiu Yueming was a successful wealthy businessman with billions of wealth and a wealthy life.
When Qiu Yueming was twenty years old, despite the opposition of his mother Zhao, she married a woman from a poor family named Huanxue. Zhao looked down on Huanxue and made things difficult for her after marriage. Fortunately, Qiuyue was aware of the matter and protected her wife very well, so she did not cause too many conflicts.
But for some reason, no matter how hard Qiu Yueming tried, Huanxue's belly never moved. This made Zhao, who was determined to hold his grandson, very anxious and blamed everything on his daughter-in-law, calling her useless, and even advised her son to divorce his wife and marry another wife many times and find a daughter-in-law who can give birth to a daughter-in-law.
After a long time, Qiu Yueming was also a little shaken. After all, the Qiu family’s three generations of single-passing family cannot be broken by him. Just during his entanglement, Huanxue finally got pregnant. The couple was very happy, and Zhao didn't say anything more, but when Huanxue was six months pregnant, the doctor invited by Zhao said that Huanxue was probably pregnant with a girl.
After learning about this, Zhao was unhappy again and even used it as a threat. If Huanxue gave birth to a son, she had to leave Qiu's family and leave Qiu Yueming's side. This made Huanxue very painful, and she lost a lot of weight under heavy pressure. Perhaps due to this incident, Huanxue had difficulty giving birth when she was about to give birth.
Originally, there was only one midwife in the room, but the midwife couldn't handle it alone, so she could only ask someone to call another midwife to help. Everyone worked all night before the child finally gave birth. Unexpectedly, Huanxue gave birth to a baby boy.
This made Qiu Yueming and Zhao very happy. They all said that mothers are noble by their sons. Since they had children, Zhao has never made things difficult for Huanxue anymore, and her status in the mansion has also become much higher. The couple named his son Tianci, which means God's gift. The family is happy and their lives are getting better and better. Until when Tianci was eight years old, something happened suddenly.
Tianci has been with Zhao since he was a child and is deeply loved, which also leads to him being very playful and often sneaking out of his mansion and wandering around the streets.
This summer, after lunch, Tianci was about to go back to his room to rest, and his friends climbed up the wall and came to find him to go out to play. Seeing this, Tianci immediately sneaked out of the back door. When Zhao discovered that her grandson was missing, it was already dark, which made her very anxious.
Just as Zhao was about to send someone out to search, Tianci, who was covered in mud, returned home. After asking, I found out that he followed a few friends to the back mountain to pick wild fruits. Seeing that his grandson was fine, Zhao felt relieved and arranged for the maid to take a bath for him.
Maybe he was tired of playing, so Tianci fell asleep halfway through washing. It was still early before meal time, so the maid put him in the room. Soon, Qiu Yueming and Huanxue, who were going out for social activities, returned home. As soon as they entered the door, they went back to the room to see the child, but when they saw it, they were shocked.
At this time, Tianci was having a high fever, his whole body was so hot, and his Yin Tang was black and his little face was sallow, which was very creepy. The couple was frightened and immediately asked someone to invite a doctor, but the doctor worked hard for a while, but Tianci's burn could not be eliminated. Seeing this, Zhao, who was standing by, remembered that Tianci had run to the back mountain to play during the day. Could it be that he had encountered something unclean?
For this reason, she immediately sent someone to the Taoist temple outside the city to invite a Taoist priest to help. The Taoist priest only glanced at it and found that Tianci lost one soul and one spirit. The most urgent task is to use the soul-attracting technique to find where the soul has been thrown.
Taoist priest and Qiu Yueming and his wife asked for a close-fitting clothing for their children, and took out three chopsticks from their arms. The chopsticks are all snow-white and are said to be made of ivory. They can open the yin and are an excellent thing to attract souls. After
, the Taoist priest placed a large bowl of water in front of him, pressed his clothes under the water, and then pressed the chopsticks on the water surface respectively. The Taoist priest drew out the talisman and chanted the spell. The talisman burned out of thin air. Then he threw the ashes into the bowl. In just a blink of an eye, the three chopsticks actually stood up from the bowl and began to rotate counterclockwise.
turned about three times, and the three chopsticks suddenly stopped and pointed to the south. Seeing this, the Taoist priest immediately rushed out with a bowl. Seeing this, Qiu Yueming and his wife followed. Soon, everyone came to a crooked tree in the back mountain. Huanxue's face changed suddenly after seeing the tree, but soon calmed down.
Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief and said that the child's soul was still there. Then he took out the child's clothes and walked under the tree. He turned three times in a straight line, and then retracted three times. After doing all this, everyone returned home and the Taoist priest put his clothes on Tianci. After a while, Tianci woke up.
Everyone was relieved when they saw this and expressed their gratitude to the Taoist priest repeatedly. However, Tianci's next words surprised everyone: "Mom, mom, do I have another sister? You threw her under the crooked tree. Even if she left me there today, you should bring her back too!"
Qiu Yueming looked at her in shock after hearing this, and Huanxue was already panicked and stammered. The Taoist priest on the side also showed doubts and immediately returned to the tree. When he cast a spell, he really found another soul. Afterwards, he asked someone to dig out the roots of a baby girl and found that there was actually a corpse of a baby girl buried under the roots. After seeing the corpse, Huanxue could no longer hold back and fell to the ground and cried bitterly.
It turns out that Tianci was not the biological flesh and blood of Huanxue and Qiu Yueming, but she secretly asked someone to take her home. Tianci's mother was a maid before the mansion. She returned home after she became pregnant, but she had a miserable life. Her husband died of illness before giving birth. She gave birth one day earlier than Qiu Yueming, but she ended up having a difficult child and she was saved. But she died.
After Huanxue learned about this, she was determined to adopt the child. Coincidentally, Huanxue gave birth to a daughter before giving birth. She was worried that she would be kicked out of the house by her mother-in-law. She made up her mind and pretended to be difficult to give birth and bribed the midwife, asking her to pretend to go out and ask someone, but in fact she took her daughter away. Another midwife invited took Tianci back to her room, and thus completed the exchange of the prince by the raccoon.
Unfortunately, the daughter died on the third day after she was taken away. Huanxue was very heartbroken, but she still buried her under the crooked tree in the back mountain without hesitation, and kept hiding this secret.
After learning the truth, everyone was shocked. When Zhao heard that Tianci was not his grandson, he fainted from anger. Qiu Yueming didn't expect that his wife would be so cruel, but after thinking about it, she was forced by her mother to do this.
In the end, Huanxue decided to take Tianci away from Qiu’s house, and Qiu Yueming did not stop him, but before leaving, she gave her a lot of money. As for Zhao, she could not withstand the blow and could not afford to get sick. She died soon after.
