The Duke of Lu's mansion sued the woman for fraud on the spot, and both the woman and the man were taken to the yamen for interrogation, and the common people also followed them to the yamen.
The Marquis Tiezhu and his wife returned to the Honglu Temple with gloomy faces.
After making sure that they were the only two people in the room, Mrs. Tiezhuhou glared at her husband and asked, "What should we do now?"
Although Tiezhu Hou's face was dark, he was relatively calm: "Don't panic, I think what happened today is aimed at us."
Mrs. Tiezhuhou was stunned: "What do you mean?"
What does the bloodline of Tianwu's noble family have to do with my family?
"Think about it, why didn't this woman come earlier or later? As soon as we arrived, they did this?"
"Dropping blood in public to identify relatives is a Western method."
"Do you know who the source of everything in the West is?"
Mrs. Tiezhuhou was stunned: "Crown Princess?"
As soon as the words came out, Mrs. Tiezhuhou suddenly realized: "You mean, this is something the Crown Princess did specifically to warn us?"
Tiezhu Hou's face darkened: "It may be like this."
Mrs. Tiezhuhou was stunned: "What should we do next?"
Tiezhu Hou pointed in the direction of his daughter's room and asked: "Do we have any way out?"
"If I admit now that the child is not mine...how will I explain to the Grand Princess?"
"If she gets angry and asks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to punish us, our whole family will be doomed!"
Lady Tiezhuhou: ...
"But if they also use blood test to identify our relatives, what should we do?"
Tiezhu Hou pointed to the Grand Princess's residence and said, "As long as the Grand Princess trusts us and believes that the Crown Princess is targeting us, we won't be afraid."
"Go and see the Grand Princess and bring her some medicinal herbs as gifts..."
Watching his lady hurried away, Marquis Tiezhu frowned: I’m afraid - the Grand Princess won’t be able to see her at all.
Mrs. Tiezhu Hou hurriedly took the things to the Grand Princess's Mansion, but was stopped outside the door as expected.
"The eldest princess is not feeling well and will not see any visitors."
Lady Tiezhuhou: "I am not a stranger. I accompanied the Grand Princess all the way from Tianlang. We are very close. Why don't you go and report it?"
The unfamiliar guard didn't listen at all. He stood there like a doorpost and refused to take the money.
Mrs. Tiezhu Hou didn't know that at this moment, the eldest princess Qi Rongrong was listening to the nanny beside her talking about what had just happened in the square.
Qi Rongrong was stunned when she heard this: "Is there such a thing?"
She knew the abbot of Huguo Temple, who was a highly accomplished monk who had served three dynasties and who never told lies.
She had also heard of the dean of Songyang Academy. He was an old-fashioned man who would never tell lies to please others.
Since the abbot of Huguo Temple and the dean of Songyang Academy are willing to testify, then the matter must be true.
She suddenly became very curious: If the child of the Third Lady of Marquis Tiezhu was tested and confirmed to be the Crown Prince's, what excuse would the Crown Princess have for not allowing it?
I guess if I use the Western skills that she trusts the most to make her accept the child, she will definitely accept it, right?
"The child of Miss Tiezhuhou is more than eight months old. You must take good care of him."
"Go tell Tiezhu Hou and the others, and when the baby is born, you can use this method to get the prince to recognize it..."
Mammy bowed and agreed: "Yes."
Lady Tiezhu Marquis was just thinking about how to meet the Grand Princess when she saw the door open. The Grand Princess's personal nanny came out. When she saw Lady Tiezhu Marquis, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"Oh, I was just about to go to the Honglu Temple to visit Madam, but I didn't expect Madam to come here."
Mrs. Tiezhuhou was overjoyed: "Mammy, I'm here to see the Grand Princess. Can you talk to the guards and let me in?"
The nanny smiled and said, "The Grand Princess has just taken medicine and gone to bed. She cannot see guests."
"The Grand Princess asked me to find you to tell you some good news. Who knew I would run into you..."
"What good news?"
"This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the Honglu Temple and talk."
It’s not far away anyway.
Mrs. Tiezhu Hou hesitated for a moment, but nodded and followed him.
The two of them came to the Honglu Temple and found a pavilion with ventilation on all sides. The nanny then whispered the words of the eldest princess.
Mrs. Tiezhuhou was stunned: "The Grand Princess said that this is the way to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accept Min'er and the child?"
Mammy nodded with a smile: "That's right."
Mrs. Tiezhuhou blinked, and then blinked again: "No, does the Grand Princess really believe in that Western blood test?"
The nanny smiled and nodded again: "The Grand Princess said that this is called using the enemy's spear to attack the enemy's shield."
Of course, these words were not said by the Grand Princess. These were taught by the nanny, and the Grand Princess agreed with them very much.
Seeing that the wife of the Marquis of Tiezhu was still there, the nanny bowed and said goodbye: "I have delivered your message, and I will leave first."
Mrs. Tiezhu Marquis was extremely panicked: It's over, it's over, how could the Grand Princess believe that?
She grabbed the maid's arm, took off the red gold bracelet on her arm, and pushed it into the maid's hand: "Mammy, I want to see the eldest princess. Can you please give me some convenience?"
The maid pushed the red gold bracelet back awkwardly and said, "Madam, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's really that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worried about the health of the Grand Princess. He personally ordered that no outsiders are allowed to visit her."
"Besides, the imperial physician and Princess Tianwu are both in the courtyard. Even if you go there, you won't be able to say anything..."
Lady Tiezhuhou: ...
After the nanny had gone far away, she hurriedly went to find Tiezhu Hou: "Master, this is going to be troublesome..."
After hearing what Mrs. Tiezhu said, Marquis Tiezhu's face also turned pale.
In the palace, Fu Chenan listened to the reports from both sides and smiled at Xiao Yingchun: "My wife is still as good as a god."
The matter was indeed arranged by Xiao Yingchun and Fu Chenan.
But what happened in the Duke of Lu’s Mansion is true.
Ever since the loss of the Third Prince, the capital of Tianwu has been particularly sensitive to babies, and people holding babies are the focus of surveillance.
The moment the woman came to Beijing with the child, she was targeted and her purpose was quickly discovered. After Xiao Yingchun discussed it with Fu Chenan, the two made this arrangement.
I didn't expect the effect to be so good.
Tiezhu Hou and his wife were panicked, but Qi Rongrong was happy.
If it wasn't necessary, Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun didn't want to fall out with Qi Rongrong at the last moment of her illness.
As long as Qi Rongrong is willing to believe in the DNA test, Fu Chenan is not afraid that she will force him to acknowledge the child.
Xiao Yingchun pushed Fu Chenan and said, "Are you going to see your mother?"
Fu Chenan stood up and said, "Go to Wolong Villa and wait there first. I'll come find you when I'm done."
The Grand Princess's Mansion.
When Fu Chenan came over, Qi Rongrong had just woken up.
Qi Rongrong was particularly happy to see Fu Chenan, and she took the initiative to reach out and hold Fu Chenan's hand.
Fu Chenan readily followed suit and extended his hand.
The moment the two hands touched, Fu Chenan's heart skipped a beat: Qi Rongrong has lost weight! There was no flesh on her hands, and they were cold and sweaty.
There was no sign of emotion on his face, and his smile was gentle.
"I heard that you were not in good health and were still thinking about me. Unfortunately, my mistress is missing and I can't leave here, so I had to ask you to come back..."
"Don't worry too much, the child will definitely come back safely."
Qi Rongrong's consolation was not sincere. She was thinking about how to start the conversation and tell him that the third daughter of the Marquis Tiezhu Mansion was pregnant.
Fortunately, Fu Chenan was "very considerate" and took the initiative to ask: "I heard that you insisted on bringing back the Third Miss of Tiezhu Marquis' Mansion this time?"
"That Third Miss is pregnant?" (End of this chapter)
