Chapter 217 The Truth
Xie Jingyu said that the harmony in Jingbei Palace was false, but Shen Wan didn’t expect that this was the case.
But she was even more confused, "Didn't the Second Madam replace Mother's own flesh and blood? Why are you still at Mother's side?"
"...Father calmly changed me back."
Shen Wan, “…”
Can it still be done this way?
Shen Wan's eyes opened wide.
If Concubine Wen and the Second Madam knew about this, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood.
No wonder she told the Second Lady that Concubine Wen also said that she was Xie Jingyu's biological mother. The Second Lady's face changed, and she hurried to find Concubine Wen, and then knelt in the Liuli Courtyard, begging the prince and princess to return her son to her.
It must be that the Second Madam and Concubine Wen don't know who of them switched places first, and they need to find out quickly. In addition, both of them have brought this matter to her attention, so there is no guarantee that she will not tell the princess about it.
Swapping a child is a serious crime. If you confess voluntarily, you can get lenient treatment.
More importantly, Xie Jingyu's position is now stable. Even if his background is exposed, it will be difficult for the young masters in the mansion to shake his position. After all, Xie Jingyu was raised by the prince and is the blood of the Jingbei Palace. For the good of the Jingbei Palace, the prince can only swallow this loss and will not change the crown prince, no matter whether Xie Jingyu is born out of wedlock or from the second wife.
After being separated from my family for so many years, it's time to go back to them, so I revealed it to her so easily.
If she gets carried away and really exposes this matter, Xie Jingyu will not be able to bear such a blow and will definitely be angry with her. In order to help her deal with the aftermath, her father and the Yun family will find ways to help Xie Jingyu keep his position as the crown prince.
She was so good at using the abacus that the beads bounced all over her face.
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Xie Jingyu asked, "What do you want to say?"
Shen Wan blinked, "Can you stay by yourself for a while? I want to watch the fun..."
If you miss such excitement, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
Xie Jingyu, “…”
Does this woman want to listen to what she is saying?
She actually wanted to leave him behind to watch the fun.
Xie Jingyu raised his arm. Shen Wan looked at him blankly. Xie Jingyu said, "I'll go with you."
Shen Wan shook his head repeatedly, “You are so seriously injured, how can you go? I won’t go.”
Xie Jingyu said, "I don't know when my father will return home. I'm afraid my mother will get sick from being angry."
He was assassinated and injured, and his mother fainted. The Second Madam and Concubine Wen brought out the bad things he had done in the past at this critical moment. Xie Jingyu was afraid that the princess could not bear the blow, so he was worried if he didn't go to see him in person.
Shen Wan said, "I'll just go."
But what Xie Jingyu wanted to do was not something that Shen Wan could stop.
Shen Wan could only help Xie Jingyu up and go to Liuliyuan.
From a distance, I saw the old lady entering the glass courtyard supported by her maid, as well as the figures of the third and fourth ladies.
There were even more people in the yard. Not only the Second Madam was kneeling on the ground, but also Concubine Wen.
It’s so lively.
Seeing Shen Wan helping Xie Jingyu come over, Concubine Wen scolded, “Yu’er is injured, what are you doing helping him come here?!”
Yu'er...
The shout was so affectionate that goosebumps spread across Shen Wan's arms.
It turns out that he really treats himself as Xie Jingyu's biological mother.
No wonder the Jingbei Palace is so harmonious. Everyone believes that the prince is their son. What is there to fight for? They just wait for the prince to close his eyes, and the huge Jingbei Palace will belong to their son. The only thing they are dissatisfied with is that their son's marriage was not chosen by them, so they are dissatisfied with her and make things difficult for her.
No one paid any attention to Concubine Wen, so Shen Wan directly helped Xie Jingyu to see the princess.
The princess leaned on the big pillow, her face pale. She had never doubted that Yu'er was not her biological son, but the Second Madam and Concubine Wen were kneeling outside asking her for her son, and it was impossible for the princess not to be shaken in her heart.
But after seeing Xie Jingyu coming in, that little bit of hesitation was replaced by concern. "You are injured, why are you here?"
Shen Wan said, "My husband is worried that my mother will get sick from anger, so he must come and see her to rest assured."
"Mother is fine."
Just as Xie Jingyu was about to tell the princess the truth about the Second Madam and Concubine Wen swapping babies, the maid ran in, "Princess, the prince is here!"
When the prince learned in the military camp that Xie Jingyu was assassinated and injured, he left the work at hand and returned home. Then he was told that the princess was looking for him. He prepared to change into a brocade robe and go to see the princess. Halfway through changing the brocade robe, he heard that the second wife was looking for the princess for their son.
The prince entered the glass courtyard with a frown on his brow.
The second master also came. Such a big thing happened in the mansion, so the third and fourth masters also came.
The Second Master scolded the Second Wife who was kneeling on the ground, "Switching your own son to the eldest house, you are truly bewildered and blinded by greed!"
After cursing a few times, the Second Master looked at the Prince and turned away, "I didn't know about this, otherwise I would never allow her to do this. Please, brother, return Yu'er to me..."
Concubine Wen said angrily, "Yu'er is my son! What does he have to do with your second house?!"
The Second Lady immediately started arguing with Concubine Wen.
Shen Wan helped Xie Jingyu out, and seeing them arguing fiercely, he suppressed a smile and said, "You are really popular."
Xie Jingyu, “…”
Xie Jingyu hugged Shen Wan's waist and gritted his teeth, "Everyone else is fighting for me, only you push me away."
...Why are you bringing up old issues again?
She just couldn't afford it and didn't dare to ask for him, but she didn't push him to anyone else.
The princess couldn't hold back any longer and asked Mother Zhao to help her out.
The prince asked, "It's windy outside, what are you doing out here?"
Seeing that the prince was not angry at all, the princess felt more at ease. "What on earth is going on?"
The prince supported the princess and looked at the second wife and Concubine Wen who were arguing and about to fight.
The second master said, "We didn't know who came first and who came later back then, so it seems we can only use blood tests to determine our kinship."
The prince said, "Okay, everyone get up."
This calm reaction stunned Concubine Wen and the Second Madam who were arguing with each other.
They are substituting one thing for another, and the prince isn't angry?
When did the prince become so good-tempered?
A trace of uneasiness flashed through the Second Master's heart, "Big Brother, aren't you angry about what they did?"
The prince said calmly, "I was angry twenty years ago."
Why does this sound wrong? It seems like the prince already knew about this twenty years ago.
The old lady said, "I am confused by what the prince said..."
The prince said, "I know exactly how they switched the subject back then. I was afraid the princess would be angry if she knew, and that she would have sequelae from her confinement, so I kept it a secret and had the secret guards return your sons to me. Considering that you were temporarily bewildered, but treated Ze'er and Xi'er well, and have taken the initiative to admit your mistakes today, I will not pursue the matter of your past mistakes. Let's go our separate ways."
Concubine Wen and the Second Lady were still kneeling on the ground. When they heard the prince's words, their faces turned pale.
The second master's face turned bluer and bluer, but he tried his best to endure it.
The old lady's body swayed, and the maid could hardly hold her up and she fell to the ground.
The prince only said a few words and then ignored them and helped the princess into the house.
The princess said weakly, "Such a big thing, you didn't even tell me..."
The prince said, "You noticed that Yu'er changed his appearance after changing his clothes, and you told me excitedly. I really couldn't bear to pour cold water on you and tell you that our son had been replaced."
