Forced to Switch Marriages, I Went from Slum to First-Rank Imperial Matron

In her previous life, Wen Yan married into the Marquis's estate for over a decade. Upwards, she helped her mother-in-law defeat concubines and regain control of the household. Downwards, she he...

Chapter 146: Mistaken Recognition

The concubine didn't dare to look the King of Thailand in the eye.

She rolled her eyes and started to cry out in grievance, "Your Majesty, I don't know anything about what Auntie Gu did.

I am also a victim, I am innocent, you can’t do this to me.”

"Really? So you are innocent!" The King of Thailand seemed moved by her pitiful appearance and looked at her with interest.

Seeing that he was still willing to listen to her, the concubine immediately started to explain tearfully, "Your Highness, everything I said is true. I was also deceived by her.

She is so good at disguising herself. She has been by my side for so many years and I always thought she was loyal, but I didn't expect that she actually harbored evil intentions.

She showed no mercy when she held me hostage just now. If it weren’t for your wisdom and bravery, saving me in time, I’m afraid I would have already…”

As she spoke, she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and began to sob.

The concubine was extremely beautiful. Although she was old, she still looked like a tearful pear blossom when she cried, which made me feel sorry for her.

The King of Thailand didn't seem to show any sympathy.

Instead, his subordinates brought a chair and the King of Thailand sat down.

The concubine couldn't guess what the King of Thailand wanted to do.

I could only cover my face with a handkerchief and continue crying.

Until the concubine's throat became dry.

Then a servant came hurriedly outside.

The servant's face was filled with joy. "Your Highness, someone has arrived from the palace. They have brought an imperial edict. Please take the prince and grandson out to receive it."

The King of Thailand's face lit up with joy. He suddenly stood up and strode out.

After walking a few meters, he suddenly stopped and ordered the guards: "Let the concubine stay here well. Without my order, don't let her leave this room."

The concubine's face changed drastically. She no longer cared about the King of Thailand imprisoning her.

She grabbed the person who sent the message and asked, "What imperial decree?"

The messenger smiled and said, "Of course it's the imperial decree to appoint the prince as the crown prince."

After saying that, the man turned away.

The concubine felt weak and fell to the ground.

The door slammed shut with a bang.

The concubine was distraught and muttered to herself: "It's over... everything is over!"

The palm of the hand was pressed on some slippery liquid.

She turned her head and met Aunt Mushroom's eyes that were still open.

The slippery fluid was also Auntie Mushroom's blood that had not yet cooled down.

Wen Yan was taken away by the servants of the palace to be cleaned and to change her bloody clothes.

When she had tidied herself and came out, she heard voices from the front shouting "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Wen Yan was puzzled.

Meng Chifei, who had just finished joining in the fun, flew down from the roof and explained, "The palace has received an imperial edict, bestowing many things."

Wen Yan thought for a moment and asked, "After the imperial edict was announced, did the eunuch who delivered it say anything?"

Meng Chifei said: "The King of Thailand was weak, so the prince held him in his arms to receive the decree. Seeing this, the chief eunuch asked the reason.

The eunuch heard what was going on and left without saying anything. Could it be that some procedure was missed?"

Wen Yan thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, the imperial edict has not yet been fully delivered."

"Ah?" Meng Chifei's mind was full of questions. Was the imperial edict still half announced?

But before she could ask more questions, the King of Thailand arrived.

Behind him followed a nanny, holding the Thai king's grandson in her arms.

The King of Thailand is still frightened and dares not let his grandson out of his sight for a moment.

They sat down in the living room.

The nanny carried King Tai's grandson to the couch in the inner room to rest.

King Tai looked at Wen Yan and asked, "How did you know that something bad would happen to my Rong'er today?"

"I didn't know anything would happen to the Thai king's grandson." Wen Yan answered respectfully, looking very cautious. "One day, I went out for tea and vaguely heard the words "Thai king's palace, back garden, take action" coming from the next room."

"I felt there was something fishy going on, so I begged Chi Fei to bring me here."

"Why didn't you tell me in advance, but acted on your own?" The King of Thailand was still smiling, like a kind elder talking to his beloved younger generation.

The more kind he was, the less confident Wen Yan became. Instead, she became more cautious. "Those are just rumors I heard from others. If I tell you rashly, you might not believe me. You might even think I'm just spreading rumors and deliberately causing trouble."

"That's all?"

"Wen Yan dare not lie. If you don't believe me, Your Majesty, you can send someone to investigate in detail."

The King of Thailand suddenly smiled heartily: "Thanks to you, my Rong'er was spared. Wen Yan, right? These things are my thanks for saving my grandson."

He has already sent people to investigate Wen Yan's background.

It was she who instigated the Meng family's disaster relief efforts.

It was hard to tell whether this matter was good or bad, but she was by no means a coward as she appeared.

But today, she did save her grandson in times of danger.

He accepted the favor!

He waved his hand.

A group of servants came in one after another, carrying trays.

A bucket of pearls.

There was a tray of gold ingots, a tray of silver ingots, a pair of jade bracelets, as well as some silks, satins, head ornaments and other things that women liked.

Wen Yan looked flattered, but did not accept it immediately.

Instead, he looked at Meng Chifei who was standing beside him.

Wen Yan was about to accept it.

Suddenly, a cry of alarm was heard from the inner room: "Mother! Mother... Rong'er is going to drown, Rong'er is in pain!

Mom, don't die!"

Then came the comforting voice of the nanny: "Prince, don't be afraid, the bad guy has been caught, no one will hurt you anymore."

"I saw my mother, please get out of the way, I want to find her!" King Sun of Tai shouted and rushed out from the inner room.

The nanny chased after him: "Prince, you haven't put on your shoes yet..."

King Sun of Tai ran to the hall, scanned the room, and finally fixed his eyes on Wen Yan's face.

"Mom!" He threw himself into Wen Yan's arms and hugged her waist tightly.

Wen Yan was startled and very embarrassed. She wanted to take Tai Wangsun's hand away, but she was afraid of hurting him so she didn't dare to use force.

He could only look to the King of Thailand and Meng Chifei for help.

The King of Thailand also came over to coax him: "She is today's guest, not your mother. Have you forgotten? Your mother and father went to a very far place, not in the capital."

But King Sun of Thailand started to cry and said, “No, she is my mother.

I remember that my mother was also covered in blood before. She saved me while telling me not to die and gently touched my head...

Wuuwuwuwu... She is my mother."

The King of Thailand was stunned.

He instantly recalled the tragedy that happened two years ago.

The King of Thailand has two sons, one legitimate and one illegitimate.

The legitimate son was born to him and his first wife who died young, and is also the crown prince of the Thai royal family.

The illegitimate son was born to him and his concubine.

Two years ago, the Crown Prince of Thailand took his wife and children to the suburbs for an outing, but they encountered bandits on the way and the couple was killed on the spot.

Only this grandson, who was protected by his mother, survived by chance.

The King of Thailand treats his grandson Ji Rong as the apple of his eye.

King Sun of Thailand wants the stars in the sky, he won’t pick the moon.

King Sun of Thailand became silent due to the huge shock he suffered.

After two years of careful care, he finally regained his cheerful personality. Unexpectedly, today's accident made him recall the scene of the past.

He also mistook Wen Yan for his deceased mother.
