Chapter 334 The Curtain Falls
While Xu Muhua was fighting with her little cousin in the mansion, the gossip in the Princess's Mansion outside never stopped, but became more and more intense.
However, no matter how noisy things are, they will always come to an end.
After more than half a month of uproar, when the first snow of winter came to the capital, the affairs of the Princess's Mansion finally came to an end.
"I didn't expect things to be like this! It's really unexpected!"
Because of the snow, the weather suddenly became much colder, and the floor heating in the house had already been turned on. The door was hung with thick felt to block the cold wind and cold outside, and the house was warm.
The whole family came to the old lady's room early to pay their respects to her, and then sat down to chat, and they couldn't help but talk about the recent uproar in the capital.
I heard that the emperor was so angry that he almost fainted!
Yes, the eldest princess and the emperor are siblings, and they have a good relationship. Moreover, the eldest princess is the only eldest princess left in Dayong. The emperor naturally loves and protects her.
Didn't you see that the emperor was already accustomed to the Princess Qingning?
Suddenly knowing that the eldest princess had suffered such a grievance, how could it be tolerated!
The old lady stayed in the mansion all day and could listen to gossip. When she heard what Xu's mother said, she couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, the people in the Ling Mansion are simply crazy! Such stupid and vicious things can be done!"
It's okay to be vicious, but it's also stupid to death. It really makes people don't know what to say.
"Now it's good. The eldest princess has finally got her reward after all the hardships. The clouds have cleared and the moon is bright."
Everyone in the Ling Mansion was imprisoned. Master Ling and the two old ladies were all old, and one foot had stepped into the coffin, but they didn't have a good ending. Not long after being imprisoned, they couldn't hold on and died in the big prison.
But it's still good, otherwise the two of them would have been beheaded in public, which is even more embarrassing!
The other people in the Ling Mansion were exiled or beheaded. The huge Ling Mansion is now empty, and the bustling bustle of the past is no longer there. It's really disappointing, a good hand of cards was played to pieces.
Now that the prince-in-law has been replaced, we should treat him well and raise him as his own child. We shouldn't have attacked that family.
Destroy the whole family! Such a cruel and poisonous heart! In exchange for someone else's healthy child, he turned around and killed that person!
If there was no annihilation of the family, they would take good care of the prince-in-law, even if one day things couldn't be hidden. As a consort, he would not do anything to the people of the Ling family. After all, he had the kindness to raise him.
But they just...
What's even more frightening is that Master Ling and his wife actually killed their own son who came to their house without knowing anything, and even had him blocked in the wall! It's
chilling to think about it!
"It's just pitiful for the child who was abandoned by them and killed by them."
The old lady was older and softer-hearted. Now that she knew about the Ling Mansion, she felt even more sorry for the child in the Ling Mansion.
"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. They are really worse than beasts!"
Mother Xu shook her head.
Xu Muhua sat aside and listened silently.
Those two old guys didn't mean to kill their child from the beginning. They also thought about letting him go.
The child who was replaced came to the door without knowing anything and wanted to seek refuge and help. After some hesitation, the two old guys decided to send him away far away, so that he would never return to the capital and would hide his identity.
But before leaving, he wanted to go over to say goodbye to the two and thank them solemnly. Unexpectedly, he overheard the two talking about this secret in the house. He was eavesdropped. You can imagine how
he felt when he suddenly heard such a terrible and absurd truth. Before he could calmly accept the truth, he was sent away in a daze. After
being sent far away, he understood after he sobered up and calmed down, and tried to let it go. But in the end, he couldn't resist the reproach of his conscience and the guilt in his heart, so he secretly returned to the capital.
He originally wanted to return to Beijing secretly, find an opportunity to meet his husband and tell him the truth. But before he found an opportunity to meet his husband, the two old guys knew that he had sneaked back to Beijing.
That's why Xiao Tianfu's parents saw the scene in the store that night.
In the end, he still died at the hands of his own parents. Just to prevent him from telling his husband the truth.
The reason why his husband was imprisoned was because the two old guys were talking about this in the house, and his husband happened to go over to pay his respects. The two thought that his husband heard it, but in fact, his husband heard nothing at all!
"The eldest princess has finally gotten her wish. Her husband is still alive, and the child has been raised by her side. Although they were not mother and child in name before, they are mother and child in reality, which makes up for this regret to a certain extent."
Who could have thought that Ling Hongge would be the child of the eldest princess who died of dystocia?
It is precisely because of this that people feel that the people in the Ling Mansion are insidious and inhumane.
For the wealth and glory of the Ling Mansion, they actually came up with such a perverted idea.
When the eldest princess was pregnant, her appearance was not very good. Old Lady Ling learned from the imperial physician that the eldest princess might only give birth to this one child in her lifetime. After knowing this, she conspired with old man Ling.
In the end, this method was thought up by old man Ling. He was inspired by the child swap.
All he had to do was take the eldest princess' child, tell her that the child was dead, and then put the child under the name of the eldest son. When the right opportunity comes in the future, he will propose to adopt the child under the name of the eldest princess and her husband.
In this way, the relationship between the child and the Ling family will not be severed. The eldest son will be his father. The husband is also his father, and the eldest princess is his mother. The eldest princess will also feel guilty for owing the eldest son and his wife a favor.
With this guilt and this child, is there any need to worry about the Ling family going downhill in the future? As long as the eldest son and his wife cry in front of the child from time to time, the child will come to the eldest princess for help.
The princess would not refuse the child's request because the eldest son and his wife had adopted the child to them, and out of affection for the child.
This way, it would be foolproof!
As for the child returning to the princess and becoming her son, what's the big deal? The Ling family and the princess didn't really have a grudge against each other. They just wanted to keep the Ling family rich and glorious!
This way, they can not only gain the gratitude of the eldest princess, but also ensure the prosperity of the Ling family. The probability of accidental risks is reduced to the lowest, so why not do it?
When they exchanged the children, they certainly did not think about what would happen later.
Facts have also proved that what the two old guys thought was right. Hasn't this been proven in the past ten years?
As for why the son-in-law was not killed directly, it was also to leave a way out. They thought that if the matter was discovered one day, they could still use the son-in-law to threaten the eldest princess.
