Chapter 153 Mother will take you home tomorrow

The Seventh Prince was somewhat confused upon hearing this.

"You want to see someone in my house? Who is it?"

Shangguan Sui pursed his lips, smiled sweetly, and said a name.

Soon, an exquisite carriage slowly stopped in front of a villa.

Shangguan Sui got off the carriage and walked into the yard with the man behind him.

Shangguan Xi was playing with Jiang Qi in the yard at this time.

Jiang Qi is now very familiar with Shangguan Xi.

He always unconsciously got closer to Shangguan Creek.

During the meal, Shangguan Xi served soup to Jiang Qi and passed it to him.

Jiang Qi did not drink the soup, but took the initiative to pick up a piece of meat and put it in Shangguan Xi's bowl.

He raised his clean and clear eyes, "Mother, eat, eat meat."

Shangguan Xi's eyes turned redder and redder, and she was so moved that she wanted to cry.

This, this is her child...

In the afternoon, Shangguan Xi was playing with the Luban lock with Jiang Qi. She turned around and saw a delicate little girl walking towards her.

A light flashed in her eyes, and she immediately raised her lips and smiled, "Sui Sui, come back..."

But when she looked at the person behind Shangguan Sui, the smile on her face froze instantly and she looked at the person in shock.

She asked in a daze, "Why is it you?"

Shangguan Sui leaned slightly sideways.

The middle-aged woman behind him was completely exposed to Shangguan Xi.

Shangguan Sui nodded to Shangguan Xi and said, "Aunt, the witness I was talking about is exactly her, Nanny Chen."

When Nanny Chen saw Shangguan Xi, she immediately kowtowed to the ground, trembling with fear, "Greetings, farewell to the princess."

Shangguan Xi frowned, "You, you are the wet nurse I hired back then..."

As he spoke, Shangguan Xi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Could it be that you were also involved in what happened to you back then?"

Nanny Chen lowered her head, and her whole body shuddered when she heard the words.

I dare not say a word...

Shangguan Sui snorted coldly beside him.

[More than just participating, she was the one who did it! ]

[The reason why Zhang was able to successfully replace her child was because of Nanny Chen's help! ]

[Zhang gave Nanny Chen a lot of money to buy her off. Later, Nanny Chen continued to take care of Jiang Yan, who was replaced as the legitimate son.]

[After Jiang Yan was weaned, Nanny Chen naturally left Prince Yong's mansion.]

Shangguan Xi took a deep breath and pinched the corner of her clothes tightly.

I didn’t expect that it would be like this…

Shangguan Xi looked at Nanny Chen with cold eyes, "I'll let you tell me yourself, what happened back then?"

"If you dare to tell a lie, I will never let you off!"

Nanny Chen nodded and kowtowed quickly, and told the story of that year in a trembling voice.

"Ms. Zhang gave me five hundred taels of silver. I used the money to buy a bigger house for my family and to find the best private school for my son."

As she spoke, Nanny Chen's eyes immediately turned red and her voice became tearful.

"But for unknown reasons, not long after, my son was killed by refugees on the way to private school. For unknown reasons, the new house suddenly caught fire and the whole family died..."

"I was out on business at the time, so I was lucky enough to survive..."

When Nanny Chen talked about the past, her face was filled with regret and tears fell heavily.

"I think it was ill-gotten gains, and I used it with shame. Back then, I took Zhang's money and helped her do bad things... Later, I suffered retribution, causing my family to be destroyed..."

"Later, I didn't dare spend the money anymore, so I found a spare job in the Seventh Prince's Mansion to save my life."

"I have been fasting and chanting for many years, hoping to forgive my sins, so I am willing to testify for the princess and reveal the truth of that year!"

Shangguan Sui was listening nearby and nodded.

[This is indeed the case in the original book.]

[Mrs. Chen spent the rest of her life fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures to atone for her sins. When Jiang Qi later came to the Xia Kingdom, it was Mrs. Chen who told him the truth...]

After Shangguan Xi heard Shangguan Sui's thoughts, all the doubts she had about Nanny Chen were dispelled.

She looked at Nanny Chen and said, "I trust you. You can stay in this courtyard for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Chen immediately nodded and kowtowed, saying in a low voice, "Thank you, Princess."

At this time, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He Tian turned around abruptly, his sharp eagle eyes narrowed dangerously.

"What? Failed? Even such a small thing failed?!"

Mr. Zhou was so frightened that cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

He immediately fell to the ground, hesitating, "I don't know what's going on..."

"Originally, this plan was about to succeed, and the Seventh Prince was ready to board the ship. But for some reason, the Fifth Princess of Dayue Kingdom suddenly came and disrupted our plan..."

"The Seventh Prince noticed something was wrong. All the assassins we deployed were captured and taken to the Dali Temple..."

He Tian was so angry that his eyebrows twitched and he threw all the teacups in his hands to the ground.

The porcelain cup immediately shattered to the ground, and all the tea in the pot spilled out.

Zhou Sheng was so frightened that he shuddered violently.

He Tian's voice was filled with anger, and he said hysterically: "The Dali Temple is the territory of the Seventh Prince! How can they be good if they are caught in the Dali Temple?"

Zhou Sheng immediately kowtowed and said quickly: "Prime Minister, don't worry. Those assassins are all dead men and will definitely not expose you."

He Tian rubbed his aching brow and said, "Forget it, forget it. It's come to this. There's no point in saying more."

"Then the Seventh Prince, should we continue the assassination..."

Zhou Sheng asked cautiously.

He Tian frowned, "Don't do anything for the time being. The Seventh Prince must be suspicious now, and he might even suspect us."

"By the way, has the person I asked you to find arrived at your house today?"

Zhou Sheng immediately responded, "We have found him. He just arrived at your house today. I have already arranged for him to be taken care of. I can bring him to see you, Prime Minister, now."

After an incense stick of time, Zhou Sheng slowly approached with an old man in plain clothes.

When He Tian saw the old man, he was stunned and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Like, really too much like..."

"He looks exactly like that old immortal Jiang Feng!"

Zhou Sheng smiled smugly, "Who says it's not true? Even if the Seventh Prince and Prince Yong were here, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to tell who his real father is."

He Tian curled his lips and narrowed his sharp eagle eyes.

"So, this plan is already halfway successful."

But Zhou Sheng seemed to remember something and his brows furrowed.

"But the emperor is seriously ill now, and he even refused your request to see him today."

"Then how can we enter the palace and find a way to replace the dead..."

He Tian shook his head confidently. "Don't worry about that. I have my own ideas."

"The day after tomorrow will be an opportunity. We will definitely be able to enter the palace..."

On the other side, Shangguan Xi played with Jiang Qi until sunset before leaving.

She half-knelt down, her eyes level with Jiang Qi's.

Shangguan Xi reached out and touched Jiang Qi's soft little face, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Qi'er, be good. Mother will take you home tomorrow."

Jiang Qi blinked his big eyes and spoke with some difficulty, "Really?"

"Mother... will you really come to pick me up tomorrow?"

Shangguan Xi nodded vigorously with tears in her eyes, "Mother will definitely come to pick up Qi'er."

Jiang Qi smiled, and he was very well behaved. He said in a crisp voice, "I believe in mother."

Shangguan Xi hugged Jiang Qi again, then turned and left.

Shangguan Xi walked out of the courtyard and his expression immediately turned cold.

She would bring Qi'er into Prince Yong's Mansion with dignity.

These are Qi'er's things, no one can take them away!

The villa was not far from Prince Yong's Mansion, so Shangguan Xi and Shangguan Sui quickly returned to Prince Yong's Mansion.

As soon as they sat down in the main room, they saw Jiang Shi running towards them with an excited look on his face.

Jiang Shi walked into the room, bowed and greeted, and immediately said, "Mother, I have something to tell you."
