A moment later, the old woman came back, followed by a nun from Xuanji Temple - her Buddhist name was Huiyun!
After the two of them exchanged greetings, Shen Xiuyan asked, "Master Huiyun, I'd like to ask if there is a female pilgrim named Han Lanjiao giving birth here at Xuanji Temple today?"
After hearing this, Master Huiyun shook her head and said seriously, "No, only your young mistress is giving birth here today. I haven't heard of Han Lanjiao's pilgrim giving birth in our nunnery."
When Shen Xiuyan heard what Master Huiyun said, he felt relieved. It seemed that he was really frightened by his wife's childbirth today and had hallucinations. He was just about to ask the master to go back!
However, Jiang Mianmian happened to hear it as she pushed the door open. She was holding her granddaughter and was planning to let the wet nurse come in to feed the child.
As soon as she went out, Jiang Mianmian heard the words of the nun and frowned slightly. She looked at the nun in front of her.
[Hmm, how could there not be one? Could it be that Shen Xiuyan deliberately found this nun just to fool him?]
Shen Xiuyan held his forehead helplessly: "Mother, this child is also my daughter. Why would I deliberately find someone to prevaricate you? Besides, Han Lanjiao is already married. If you suspect her for no reason, what will happen if it gets out?
Being mean to Han Lanjiao would only damage her reputation. Besides, she is marrying Prince Shuo, the son of Prince Yong'an, whose family background is higher than that of our Xuanhua Marquisate.
"When her child is born, she can ask for the title of county lady, and her status will be higher than my daughter's. She is not stupid, why would she exchange her own daughter for mine, unless she is crazy?"
Jiang Mianmian glared at him and said, "You know shit. It's said that you can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. Otherwise, why would you be with Han Lanjiao in the first place, and why would she dump you and be with someone else later?
Humph! Besides, after so many years, how can you know what she is thinking now?
After finishing her words, Jiang Mianmian lowered her voice and continued, "Last year, you and Li Tingxue almost got divorced because of Han Lanjiao. Do you really think no one else knows?"
Seeing that his mother still didn't believe him, Shen Xiuyan had no choice but to wave to his personal attendant, Shen Feng.
He whispered a few words to Shen Feng, who nodded immediately, and then he left with a serious face.
Jiang Mianmian was very sure that in her dream, her little granddaughter was exchanged for Han Lanjiao's daughter.
If Han Lanjiao wasn't here, she must have instructed others to do this. She wouldn't believe that she was innocent.
[Who exactly swapped out my granddaughter? What was her motive? She couldn't possibly have a grudge against the Yong'an Palace and a grudge against my own Marquisate. So, she swapped the daughter of the Shuo Junwang for her own granddaughter?]
If that were the case, shouldn't she have given her two children to that farmer as child brides?
Shen Xiuyan heard his mother's voice and continued to ask, "Master Huiyun, are there other women with the surname Han who gave birth in Xuanji Temple?"
"No, your lady is the only one giving birth here today?" Master Huiyun still shook her head.
Jiang Mianmian still felt like something was amiss: "Is there anyone with the surname Situ?"
Master Huiyun still shook her head to indicate no.
"Well, there's no one named Han, and there's no one named Situ either?"
Jiang Mianmian felt like she was almost on the verge of the truth, but she just couldn't figure it out. She asked several times, but to no avail.
When Master Huiyun shook her head, she felt like her head was about to leave an afterimage, and her brain was about to be confused. Oh, money is really hard to make these days!
Look, today this noble man asked a lot of random questions, and she felt like he was a lunatic.
If it weren't for the fact that the man just gave her so much, who would be willing to stay here and shake their head at her? She would have walked away in anger!
"Well, Master Huiyun, please tell me who is practicing in your nunnery now, or anyone who is practicing with their hair uncut can tell me.
This is a small gift from me, please take it and buy some tea!"
After saying that, Jiang Mianmian handed Master Huiyun a purse!
When Master Huiyun saw the purse, her eyes lit up and she took it with a smile on her face. After seeing the silver note of one hundred taels, her attitude became even more sincere.
She quickly put the purse into her sleeve and said with a smile on her face, "Thank you for the gift, benefactor. Whatever you want to know, I will tell you everything I know and answer your questions!"
Then, Master Huiyun began to babble, and after mentioning you nun more than twenty times,...Ma Lingshu...
"Hey, Master Huiyun, wait a minute, the person you just cursed was called Ma Lingshu?"
"Well, the donor is Ma Lingshu, with the Buddhist name Huitong. She is a nun in our Xuanji Temple, and she is here to pray for blessings and ward off disasters for her family." Master Huiyun explained immediately.
My dear son, do you see, I have found it now?
Jiang Mianmian looked at Shen Xiuyan proudly and laughed: "If I remember correctly, Han Lanjiao's cousin from her maternal uncle's family seems to be called Ma Lingshu, right?
I remember meeting her once at a flower show held at the Marquis' Mansion."
Shen Xiuyan: “…”
Should he now praise his mother's memory, saying it is so... good?
That Ma Lingshu had indeed been to the Marquis' Mansion. It was when he and Han Lanjiao were in an ambiguous relationship and the Mansion held a flower viewing party. But at that time, Ma Lingshu was just a child.
Under Jiang Mianmian's gaze, Shen Xiuyan touched his nose and smiled awkwardly: "...well...right, it seems that she really has a cousin named Ma Lingshu?"
