Chapter 1050: Lady Qin Recognizes Her Father

As soon as he finished speaking, Madam Qin saw that the old man in front of her had tears in his eyes, his lips were trembling, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

For some reason, seeing the old man like this, Madam Qin couldn't help feeling sad, her eyes became sore, and she started to cry.

Master Sun and Qin Gengwen beside him just stood there stupidly, watching the two men crying, not knowing how to react for a moment.

Qiao Ran, who was accompanying the new emperor around the village, also watched all this and felt deeply moved.

Although Fuhuangjia had lived in the Devil Valley for so long, this was the first time she knew Qin Niangzi's maiden name. She had always called her Qin Niangzi.

If I had known her name was Duanmu Jing earlier, I might have guessed that they were father and daughter when I met General Duanmu in the northern border.

After all, there are not many people with the surname Duanmu, not to mention that the two of them look somewhat similar.

But perhaps Madam Qin looks more like her biological mother, so Duanmu Xiong could recognize her at first sight.

After a while, Duanmu Xiong wiped the tears from his face and shouted excitedly:

"Jing'er! You are my daughter, my Jing'er! I am Duanmu Xiong, and I am your father!"

"father?"

Madam Qin murmured something, then she rushed to the old man in front of her, hugged him and cried bitterly:

"Dad~! Dad! Your daughter has been looking for you for so long! Dad!"

"My dear daughter! I have been looking for you so hard! I thought I would never see you again in this life!"

The father and daughter hugged each other and cried.

Duanmu Xiong, the iron-blooded veteran who could chop off the enemy's head without blinking an eye on the battlefield, was crying like a baby at this moment, and his whimpering cry made people's noses sore.

The new emperor also understood what had happened. After the two men had cried for a while, he walked up to his old subordinate, patted his shoulder, and said with relief:

"Okay, Duanmu, you finally found your daughter. This is a great joy. Stop crying! Come into the house and have a good talk!"

Duanmu Xiong then wiped his tears with his sleeves and was supported by his daughter into the nearby Qiao family.

Everyone took their seats. Duanmu Xiong sat next to his daughter. He looked at his daughter who had been lost and found again without blinking, and asked her eagerly how she had been doing over the years.

Madam Qin then told her everything she remembered.

It turned out that Madam Qin was only thirteen years old at the time. Once when she went out with her sisters to enjoy the flowers, she encountered a flower-beating man, who drugged her and took her away because she was accidentally left alone.

It was estimated that the drug had some amnesia-causing material added to it, causing her to have no recollection of anything that happened before she was knocked unconscious after waking up. She only vaguely remembered her own name and her parents' name.

Later, the brothel owner saw that she was beautiful and wanted to sell her to a brothel as a top prostitute.

Fortunately, she was smart and knocked out the maid who came to deliver food that night, changed her clothes and secretly escaped from the brothel.

However, she was penniless and had nowhere to go. She fainted from hunger in the backyard of a house in confusion. She was then adopted by the family as a child bride, and after she came of age, she married one of the family's sons.

And that family is the kind-hearted Qin family.

The Qin family was well off, with several educated people, one of whom even passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. Their life should have been even better.

Unfortunately, there was a severe drought in Qingzhou Prefecture, and he had to flee the famine with the villagers. Unexpectedly, he met with disaster on the way. When passing through Xuanzhou County, a yamen runner took a fancy to his women and wanted to rob them.

As a result, out of a family of more than a dozen people, only she, her eldest son and her youngest nephew escaped; everyone else died.

Her nephew also developed a high fever due to the shock. With no money or food, she could only beg on the roadside holding her child.

Fortunately, someone from Qingshui Village happened to pass by.

Fortunately, Qiao Ran felt sorry for them and stopped to give her water and food. She also kindly took them in and allowed the three of them to follow her all the way to the Devil Valley, where they settled down and lived a good life without worries about food and clothing.
