278, pale
Aunt Xu thought for a while, her tightly locked eyebrows had loosened a little, and she said slowly, "Okay." β
Qiao Siwan nodded, "My aunt is suspected of sponsoring others to confuse the bloodline of my sister-in-law, but I am afraid that if the Dong family falls, my aunt will also be implicated." I will explain to the prince why you were forced by her, and I hope the prince can forgive. β
Aunt Xu smiled faintly, like spring plums blooming in snow, always a little bleak, and said, "I knew there would be such a day, and I was waiting." What's more, you are not doing this today for yourself, but for being late, and I will have to pay the price for what I have done wrong. β
Three days later, when the eldest princess visited, King Yan was taken aback, and immediately came out in person to welcome the royal sister, who had rarely left the princess's mansion, and asked King Mingjun and Qiao Siwan to accompany her.
Qiao Siwan was wearing a smoky silver Luo long skirt, with only a rouge flower hairpin on the bright bun, holding a crystal pendant strung from the hairpin, looking more and more low-key and simple, the eldest princess reclined on the soft couch, looked at her and smiled: "Why don't you wear the skirt you made, how can you look like a princess of the county!" β
Qiao Siwan just smiled and didn't speak.
King Yan is Mo Fei: "It's not her to blame, something happened in the house, and I haven't had time to deal with itββ"
The eldest princess frowned slightly when she heard this, and then said indifferently: "Oh, hasn't the Yanwang Mansion always been managed in a clear order, what will happen there?" β
King Yan beckoned, leaving only a few people who were very close, and then said: "Many things, I didn't want the imperial sister to worry, but since you came in person, you must have heard some rumors, and I won't hide it from you anymore, first Chongjun was assassinated, and then Rou Ning went crazy, at this time, this matter is related to the Dong family, but I don't know what to do." β
The eldest princess's sigh was almost unclear, "It has something to do with the Dong family?" Why is everything related to her? β
King Yan frowned: "Is there anything else related to her?" β
The eldest princess was silent for a moment and said, "Bring someone up." β
Everyone saw an old woman with her long hair covering half of her face being brought up, and they heard the eldest princess say gently: "You carry it up." β
The old woman lifted up at once, and frightened the nearby maid ring one step behind, and the old woman's face had a mark of fire burn, mottled and almost ruined half of her face, making it the day at this time, and the most terrifying.
The eldest princess said to King Yan: "Who is she, do you still understand?" β
King Yan stared at the old woman for a while, but just shook his head, "Her face has been ruined for most of it, and she can't recognize it at all." β
The eldest princess smiled and said, "You say it yourself, who is it?" β
The old woman said slowly: "The slave maid is Gui Niang, the midwife who gave birth to the little son of Princess Yan in the past, the prince still remembers that when the midwife was selected, Princess Yan also said in front of the slaves and maids that she should choose a person with a good face and a good face, don't scare the little princess." β
King Yan was stunned, then stood up suddenly, and said, "Youβhow did you cause this consciousness?" I vaguely remember that although the original midwife Gui Niang was over 30 years old, she had a good face and was cleaner and straighter than ordinary midwives, and she was just over 50 years old at this time, so she was as old as a seventy-year-old woman? And ruined half of the face? Why did Princess Celestia bring her here? The questions in King Yan's heart popped up one after another, and he almost couldn't help himself.
Gui Niang said: "The slave maid caused this ghost appearance, all to blame for Concubine Dong of your mansion!" β
King Yan was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but change his color: "What is your intention in saying this?" β
"When the princess gave birth to the little princess, the prince was still in the palace, and the Dong family presided over the overall situation in the house, and the slave maid and the other two princesses' cronies stayed in the delivery room to support them, and the others withdrew from the courtyard. At that time, the princess was weak, and she fainted as soon as she gave birth to a little son, and Dong immediately ordered a maid to go to the prince to report the news, leaving only one person and the slave maid. Taking this opportunity, she strangled Xiao Shizi with her own hands, and then used oxytocic drugs to give birth to her son in advance, and said that he was Xiao Shizi-"
"Full of nonsense!" Jiang Chi's eyes seemed to be burning with flames, and he interrupted violently and said sharply, "Do you know what you're talking about!" β
Gui Niang noticed a trace of fear on her face, she glanced at the eldest princess, paused, and then continued: "The slave doesn't dare to deceive you Zhu Zi. The slave did accept Concubine Dong's five thousand taels of silver and helped her replace the child! The slave has done this unscrupulous thing in her life, and she will never forget it until she dies! I thought that with 5,000 taels of silver, there would be enough for the slave and maid family of eight to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, but who knew that Concubine Dong actually sent someone to kill the slave and maid's entire family on the way back to their hometown, and also set a fire, disguised as a roadblock and plunder, it is impossible to kill people and kill people, if the slave and maid die a big death, they will never live today! The whole family of the slave and maid died at her hands, how could she be spared? It's a pity that she is the master, the slave and maid are just a lowly subordinate, how dare she be so-so At this time, in front of the Yan Wang's Mansion, if it weren't for the distant relatives in the mansion who mentioned that the Dong family had made a mistake and had been locked up, the slave and maid would not dare to stop the eldest princess's sedan chair to sue! β
King Yan's heart was shocked, and he stared at her coldly and said, "The prince is the princess's biological son, how could she not recognize it?!" β
Gui Niang sneered: "Lord Wang, the children who were just born are all conscious, and they were born in such a prominent Zhu Zi family, even the biological mother also took a look at it when she was just born, and then she was taken away by the nurse, and she continued to take care of the child when she was able to confine. The princess was so weak that she fainted without even looking at the child, so what was so strange that she couldn't recognize the child? Whether it is the princess's biological son or not, it is similar to your face and face, in this case, how can she question it? The most important thing is that there are other slaves and maids, no matter how dazzling the princess is, she can't imagine that the slaves and maids have been bought by the Dong family! β
King Yan was speechless for a moment, how could he be trusted, Jiang Chongjun was not the prince!
Jiang Chi looked at Gui Niang, word by word, almost popping out of his teeth: "What about the evidence?" β
Gui Niang lowered her head: "The maid ring in the outer courtyard of the princess is no longer there, and the two cronies left in the delivery room at the beginning, one is the Yahuan Qinghe who was taken by the Dong family to invite the prince, and the other is Xu Zhen. If you don't believe me, you can go to them and oppose them. β
Jiang Chi looked at King Yan, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Father, Qinghe also died of illness when her mother passed away, only Aunt Xu is still there, please allow her to be summoned to testify!" β
King Yan nodded, it is a big deal to confuse the bloodline of the princess's house, not to mention, the midwife also kept saying that the son was strangled to death by the Dong family herself, is this kind of thing really possible? He can't be trusted no matter what! He said, "Let Xu Zhen come here immediately!" β
When Aunt Xu came, she knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Chi three times without making a sound, Jiang Chi looked at her in shock, she slowly raised her and said, "What the slave said today is not half a word, please listen to the prince and the prince." β
"In the past, as soon as Xiao Shizi was born, Qingping was transferred away by the Dong family, and the slave maid was the only princess cronies left. The slave watched Dong strangle the little princess to death, and then replaced the prince with the child, and then made the illusion that she had a miscarriage because she was too hard to take care of the princess, so no one would question that she was weakened because she had just given birth......
"Why-" Jiang Chi found a voice for a long time, and his face was obscure.
Aunt Xu lowered her head and said, "The slave maid wants to find an opportunity to say to the county king, but as far as the slave and maid are concerned, the county king and his son are the same, and the slave and maid are unwilling to watch the county king look at the slave and maid with disgust and hatred, so this cover is so many years." β
King Yan stared at her, as if he wanted to see her face into a cave, his tone was very cold and hard, but his heart had already begun to swing: "What about the evidence? β
Aunt Xu stood up, there was no trace of affection in her eyes, she straightened her back, and said, "Evidence? At this time, the Qinglian Residence was raided, and presumably the prince would get evidence. β
Qiao Siwan glanced at Jiang Chi worriedly, and said to King Yan: "Lord Wang, let's check it carefully." β
King Yan nodded, and entrusted the protection to investigate.
The hall was silent for a moment, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop on the floor. Jiang Chi's eyes were as quiet as an ancient well, and Qiao Siwan looked at him and only felt a slight heartache. He took care of Jiang Chongjun as his own boss, if it turns out that this is all an illusion, and the other party is the son of the woman who killed his boss, what will happen to all of them?
Protection came very slowly, no, it was also very fast, Qiao Siwan didn't know when they would come back, but they brought something very unpredictable, and the protection head knelt down and said: "Lord Wang, under the pear tree in the backyard of Qinglian Residence, I dug up this iron box. β
Jiang Chi stood up, walked over quickly, opened the box, and everyone looked at it, exclaiming, almost pale with fright.
Inside the tin box was the remains of a baby, and the most horrible thing was that because of the passage of time, this body was only a small skeleton.
Aunt Xu walked up and said in a stiff voice: "The prince and the king of the county can check, at that time, the Dong family failed to strangle the prince temporarily, and stabbed him on the top of the head with a hosta......"
Jiang Chi's hand gently brushed the skeleton, and easily took out the hosta from it, his hand was just trembling, and the hosta snapped, and it was broken.
King Yan's eyes were faintly filled with tears, and his voice carried a hint of hatred: "Take the Dong family!" β
Concubine Dong, no, she should be called Dong at this time, her expression is the worst, her hair is loose and twisted, like a spirit without the strength of a chicken, but her back is straight.
Qiao Siwan had never seen King Yan so angry, as if there were countless thunderbolts in his feelings. His voice carried a fierce anger: "Jiang Chongjun is not the prince!" He's your son! β
Dong's eyes were shocked, it was instantaneous, and soon there was no trace of emotional ripples, she was putting on makeup, collecting her clothes and bowing, "Lord, Jiang Chongjun is not my son, he is the princess's biological son, I don't know who said this kind of thing in front of the prince, my son is Chong'an, if it is mentioned, I already had one many years ago, and it is gone." β
Qiao Siwan's smile had a hint of compassion: "Dong, it's too late for you to say such things at this time, look at these two people in the hall, do you understand?" β
Dong Shi looked at the two people coldly, but said without any waves: "I don't know what the intention of the princess of the county is. β
Dong thought that Aunt Xu was forced to intervene and did not dare to sell her, and the midwife had already been killed by her, but she didn't expect that Qiao Siwan deliberately found such a fake Gui Niang to draw out all this and set this fire on fire according to the testimony of Liang's mother and Aunt Xu! Therefore, this is because Gui Niang is so alive and true to her family, which is far more true than the testimony of Liang's mother who only learned the truth from other people's mouths! Dong couldn't argue at this time, because the buried body had already made it clear! The Dong family never imagined that his cronies, who had died, would actually keep such a hand to protect her family!
"Concubine Dong, I have already told the whole truth, and you haven't covered it up anymore, it's useless." Aunt Xu sighed.
