After hearing what Jinhua said, Mrs. Lu was shocked and confused.
She was indeed extremely disappointed with her husband and mother-in-law, and she did not believe that they had the ability to keep her precious son safe.
But she also did not forget that she was Jiang's wife.
Prince Zhan is the culprit who deliberately plotted to destroy the Jiang family. Her two sons are in the current situation because of this man who played a big role behind the scenes.
Now Prince Zhan wants to make a deal with her. If she agrees to his conditions and ends up bringing disaster to the Jiang family, then she and her two sons will not be able to escape.
No matter how she thought about it, she shouldn't go to see King Zhan's people.
She should have scolded Jinhua and then sold out this treacherous girl.
But the words of scolding were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't open them.
Jinhua saw her inner turmoil and said softly:
"Madam, you can think about it carefully. The gentleman said he is willing to wait for you for three days."
Lu stared at her, her voice cold:
"How did you suddenly become involved with Prince Zhan's people? Could it be that you were bribed by them before this?"
She had thought that Jinhua would kneel down to express her loyalty to her and then make a lot of excuses.
But I didn't expect this girl to admit it so openly:
"This servant is indeed His Royal Highness Prince Zhan's servant."
Mrs. Lu was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that spies nowadays were so bold that they even dared to admit that they were spies!
"Do you believe I'm going to call someone in right now, drag you out and beat you to death?!"
Despite Lu's threats, Jinhua remained calm. She whispered:
"I am but a worthless life. Madam, it is not a pity if you want to execute me. But if Madam loses the opportunity to save the two young masters, it will be a real pity for Madam."
Lu narrowed his eyes and sneered:
"Do you think I'm a fool?
Prince Zhan has a grudge against the Jiang family, and what he wants is to make sure that no one in the Jiang family will ever be able to turn things around!
Both of my sons have the surname Jiang, and I am also a member of the Jiang family. How could I possibly help him deal with the Jiang family?
I don’t believe he’s really willing to help.”
Jinhua smiled softly:
"Ma'am, you are really mistaken about one thing.
His Royal Highness Prince Zhan’s target has never been the entire Jiang family, but the old lady and the marquis.
The Marquis has done many things behind your back over the years. You and the two young masters are actually innocent, but he has implicated you."
Lu frowned and said cautiously:
"What are you talking about? Are you trying to lie to me again?"
Jinhua's smile deepened, and she leaned over and whispered in Lu's ear:
"Madam, take the case of Jiang Huaizhu and Jiang Xiancao being mistakenly swapped. Do you really think that during the more than ten years they were not swapped back, the old lady and the marquis were completely unaware of this?"
Lu's pupils trembled.
She had indeed suspected it, but she couldn't see how it would benefit them if they really knew.
"When the old lady was seriously ill and needed to borrow some longevity from her descendants, how did they immediately find the ginger grass?
There are tens of thousands of women of marriageable age in and outside the capital. It is said that they met by chance, but how could there be such a coincidence in the world?
Unless they have known where Jiang Xiancao is all these years!"
Hearing this, Lu's heart trembled.
She dug her nails into her palms, her face extremely grim. "You mean to say that they knew all along that Zhu'er wasn't my biological daughter, but they kept it in the dark and tricked me into raising her as their own?"
She really didn't like Jiang Xiancao, and didn't think it was a pity to be separated from her own daughter for many years, but this didn't mean that she was willing to be schemed against by her husband and mother-in-law.
Their calculations made all her years of doting on Jiang Huaizhu a joke.
Now when she thought of Jiang Huaizhu, she no longer had any love for him and only regarded him as the source of trouble for her son.
She only regretted that she was blind and mistook the ungrateful person for her precious jewel!
Jinhua smiled and said, "That's right. And the old lady and the marquis have told you many more lies than just this one."
"What else? What else did they lie to me about?" Lu forced herself to calm down and asked in a gloomy voice.
"Jiang Xiancao is indeed the daughter of the Jiang family, but she is not your daughter. Your biological daughter died at birth, but the Marquis and the old lady hid it from you and brought Jiang Xiancao to you first, pretending that she was your legitimate daughter."
Jinhua calmly revealed this huge secret:
"Afterwards, your wet nurse switched her daughter with Jiang Xiancao. The Marquis and the old lady knew about this but played along. They had people secretly monitor Jiang Xiancao's whereabouts while she was wandering among the people, and then asked you to raise the wet nurse's daughter with care."
After hearing this, Mrs. Lu trembled all over.
What?
Even Jiang Xiancao is not her biological daughter?
Her daughter died long ago? !
"But why? I can understand why they brought Jiang Xiancao back for me to raise. But why did they condone the wet nurse back then to confuse the Jiang family's bloodline?" asked Mrs. Lu.
Jinhua smiled:
"Madam, if you want to understand this matter, you must first know who Jiang Xiancao's biological mother is. Then, it would be best if you meet her in person, so that you can slowly understand this complicated story."
Lu gnashed his teeth:
"It must be some slut from a brothel who seduced you, Lord. I have nothing to say to such a lowly woman!"
Jinhua shook her head:
"No, not only is she not a prostitute, but she is also of noble birth. She is the sister of the late Imperial Noble Consort Zhaoshu and Princess Lin Yue, personally conferred by the Emperor. In terms of family background, she is far superior to you."
Lu was speechless.
She was in a trance.
This is fake, it's definitely fake, this damn girl made up a bunch of lies to deceive her...
"Marquis Wen Ning raped Princess Lin Yue and imprisoned her in Qingcheng for several years. Fortunately, the Ninth Prince discovered the secret in time and sent people to rescue Princess Lin Yue and bring her back to the capital.
In two days, the Ninth Prince will bring Princess Lin Yue to meet the Emperor.
The emperor will be furious when he finds out. Marquis Wen Ning and the old lady will be dismissed from office and stripped of their titles for committing such crimes.
By then, your title as the Marquis’ wife will be lost, and you and the two young masters will not be able to hold your heads up in the entire capital because of your husband’s mistake.
Not to mention the career prospects of the two young masters, even the wealth and splendor you enjoy now will probably be gone.
In this situation, the only one who can save you and the two young masters is His Royal Highness Prince Zhan.
As long as he shows up, Marquis Wen Ning can be held solely responsible for his duties, and you won't have to suffer. Perhaps the eldest son can directly inherit the title, and your life will be guaranteed because of your son's status. You won't have to look at the old lady's face anymore. Isn't that good?
Think about it carefully!"
