Chapter 321: Is it tough talk or tough fate?
Ling Miaoyan knew it after meeting Fang Zhang, Fang Zhengtian and others.
She is from the Fang family, there is no doubt about it.
She and these people are like cut from the same mold.
Ling Miaoyan's last bit of hope was shattered.
Fang Zhang lowered her head, her expression gloomy.
When she was in confinement, she accidentally heard her wet nurse say that the family next door was a wealthy businessman with a huge fortune and businesses all over the country. She then had evil thoughts and spent a large sum of money to bribe the wet nurse to swap the two children.
She was thinking that when her biological daughter grew up, she would secretly find her daughter to explain the reason, and then work together with her daughter to defraud the rich businessman's money.
As for the child who was exchanged, just give him some food and he won’t die.
If the truth is revealed, they will exchange the child for a high price of betrothal gift.
If the truth is revealed, they will refuse to admit it and say that it was an accidental mix-up. Then they will cry poor and ask the rich businessman to pay for the child support over the years.
Anyway, they will definitely not lose.
But what they didn't expect was that the rich businessman was from Donglin Country and returned to Donglin Country after the confinement period.
She couldn't even see her biological daughter, let alone collude with her.
Fortunately, the rich businessman's daughter grew up to be extremely beautiful, and it would be a waste to marry her to an ordinary person, so they sent her to the palace. With her extraordinary beauty, she soon became a favorite concubine, and their family also rose in wealth.
Everything has been peaceful over the years.
Just when they were about to forget about it, the truth was revealed.
Fang Zhang had thought of an excuse more than 30 years ago: she did not switch the child, but took the wrong one away accidentally.
The wet nurse is already dead. As long as she refuses to admit it, no one can do anything to her.
Not only can't do anything to her,
She worked hard to raise the Ling family's biological daughter into a noble concubine. She worked hard and made great contributions. If the Ling family wants to recognize her back, they must compensate the Fang family for the losses they have suffered over the past forty years. Calculated at 10,000 taels of silver a year, the minimum compensation is 400,000 taels.
Old Mrs. Ling had seen Ling Miaoyan's unreasonableness.
Ling Miaoyan's unreasonableness is exactly the same as Fang Zhang's roguery.
She is very angry.
Xie Yingmian handed the old lady a cup of tea and said, "It's not worth getting angry about something like this. It's not just what they say. It doesn't matter if they don't want to admit it. We can think of a solution."
The old lady shook her head.
There was a cold glint in her eyes: "I can handle it."
If the Ling family can't even deal with such a scoundrel, how can they make their business so big?
She started doing business when she was a teenager, assassinations, open killings, traps...she has experienced everything.
People like Fang Zhang are not worth mentioning.
"This is a matter between her and me. You juniors don't need to get involved."
The old lady still has a kind and compassionate look.
However, amidst his kind eyes, there was also a hint of murderousness and ruthlessness.
The old lady looked at Fang Zhang coldly: "I will give you one more chance."
"This is the last chance."
Fang Zhang rolled her eyes.
She was just a dying old lady, she didn't take her seriously.
Fang Zhang said perfunctorily, "Old lady, I've explained it clearly. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. I really made a mistake by accident..."
The old lady interrupted Fang Zhang and said in a gloomy tone: "Which one should we start with?"
"Let's start with your eldest son." The old lady pointed at Fang Zhengtian, the oldest son, and said, "Xiaohua."
"Here." Aunt Hua, who was beside the old lady, stood up.
Aunt Hua walked up to Fang Zhengtian and looked at him kindly.
"What a pity! If your mother had told the truth earlier, you could have lived at least twenty more years." She looked like a Buddha, but her words were like those of Yama.
Fang Zhengtian didn't care.
Could it be possible that a woman who was over fifty years old and had a hunched body could kill him?
Fang Zhengtian's idea has not yet been implemented.
Aunt Hua raised her hand.
A cold light flashed.
Bang!
Something heavy fell from Fang Zhengtian's neck.
Blood gushed out from the neck like a fountain.
The heavy object rolled on the ground and rolled to Fang Zhang.
Fang Zhang didn't react to what happened.
She subconsciously looked down.
Seeing Fang Zhengtian's wide-open eyes and blood-stained head, his face turned as pale as snow in an instant.
“Ahhhhhh!”
"You you you you."
"You killed my Tian'er."
"How dare you? My Tian'er is an official appointed by the imperial court. You are trying to murder an official appointed by the imperial court. I will sue you."
The old lady said, "I am not from your Dayu country. The laws of your Dayu Dynasty do not apply to me. Moreover, it is still unknown whether the Dayu Dynasty will offend the Ling family for your Fang family. I guess the Dayu royal family will not fall out with the Ling family for a piece of trash."
"You, I...Puff!" Fang Zhang was angry and anxious, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The old lady's voice sounded like it came from hell: "This is just the beginning."
"You can continue to be stubborn."
"I want to see, is it you who is stubborn, or is it your Fang family who is tough?"
Fang Zhang was terrified.
Over the years, she has relied on her power as the Concubine Dowager to bully others and has secretly killed many people.
I didn't feel anything when I killed someone.
Someone killed her son, or chopped off her son's head in front of her.
This terrible shock instantly broke down her psychological defenses.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you." Fang Zhang crawled on the ground trembling and told the old lady everything about how she had exchanged the baby.
Someone recorded all of this on the side.
After Fang Zhang finished her story, the old lady ordered her to sign and seal it.
"Go, make 10,000 copies and post them everywhere in the streets."
Fang Zhang's oral account of how she exchanged the child, how she used the concubine to seek a career, and how she exploited the concubine spread throughout the streets and alleys in just a few days.
Prince Ling's Mansion also responded quickly, and the Concubine Dowager's name would be changed from Fang to Ling.
The concubine's name was Fang Yingwan. If it was changed to Ling, Ling Yingwan didn't sound right, so the concubine changed her name to Ling Wan.
The concubine's change of surname was equivalent to telling the world that she no longer had any relationship with the Fang family.
The news spread throughout Shangjing.
In teahouses, taverns, streets and alleys, people talked about Fang Zhang's child exchange.
Some people scolded Fang Zhang for being cruel, sending her own daughter to a wealthy family and leaving someone else's daughter to be tormented.
Some people also think that the Dowager Concubine and Prince Ling's Mansion are making too much of a fuss. Although Fang Zhang did something wrong, she also raised the Dowager Concubine. The Dowager Concubine is living a good life now and has a noble status. Fang Zhang did not give birth to her but raised her. It would be great if the two families could get along and live in harmony. Why do they have to make it known to everyone?
Most of the people who curse Fang Zhang are cruel are women.
They are both mother and daughter, and can empathize with the concubine.
Those who think that the concubine is making a fuss out of nothing are mostly scholars who have read some books of sages but do not know how to adapt, or they are some saintly bitches who talk without any concern.
The knife didn't stab them, so they didn't feel any pain. They even accused the concubine of being heartless and ungrateful on the grounds that she was a member of the royal family and should set an example for the world.
