Chapter 107: It's not so easy to pretend to be someone else

Since Jiang Mingyue met Jiang Jiu at the Guanyin Temple, she learned the truth of the matter.

I feel totally unwell.

I vaguely remember that she came to Chang's house with the jade pendant given by her mother.

The Chang family's housekeeper didn't even let her in.

She had lived in the capital for several days and tried to find out that Chang Mingyuan had to attend the morning court every day, so she waited at the door of Chang's house.

Who knew that when Chang Mingyuan went to court, there were servants in front of him and guards behind him, making it difficult to approach him.

On the fifth day of her diligent wait, an opportunity finally came: Chang Mingyuan came back from court and met an acquaintance with whom he exchanged a few words.

Jiang Mingyue ran out from the crowd.

"Father, father, may I ask if your name is Chang Mingyuan? I am Jiang Qiuyue's daughter, Xiao Jiu."

"Because my daughter was born on September 9, my mother gave her the nickname Xiaojiu."

Chang Mingyuan was startled at first, then he looked at the jade pendant in Jiang Mingyue's hand, examined it carefully for a few seconds, and then he helped her up.

"Your mother is Jiang Qiuyue?"

Jiang Mingyue nodded heavily: "That's right, but she died fifteen years ago."

Huh? Chang Mingyuan was visibly distracted, with a look of misery on his face.

"She has been gone for so many years, but she has not given me any news. I guess she still hates me. Anyway, come on, please invite the young lady into the mansion."

Just like this, Jiang Mingyue entered the Chang family with almost no hindrance.

The moment she saw Mrs. Chang, she felt uneasy.

He held his breath, and his hands and feet were shaking.

Who knew that Mrs. Chang only asked about Jiang Qiuyue's situation: "How did your mother die?"

Jiang Mingyue lowered her eyes and said, "He died of illness. I was still young at that time, so I don't remember it. It was all taken care of by the nanny."

Mrs. Chang nodded slowly: "You have been living with your relatives for so many years?"

Jiang Mingyue nodded again: "Mammy said I have no other relatives. I live in the home of my distant cousin, Jiang County Magistrate of Xiang County."

Mrs. Chang asked again, "Then what made you think of going to Beijing to look for your father?"

Jiang Mingyue's eyes turned red as she heard Jiang Liu's words.

"It was because I was favored by a playboy under the Ninth Prince of Su City, who insisted on taking me to be his concubine. I refused, and my aunt was afraid of offending the Ninth Prince, so she told me my true identity and asked me to come to the capital to find my father."

Mrs. Chang stared at Jiang Mingyue deeply without moving her expression.

She said meaningfully: "Ninth Prince, Prince Qi...become a concubine?"

She did not ask any more questions, but asked the nanny beside her to arrange accommodation for her and also arranged for two maids to serve her.

What they eat and use are almost the same as those of the young ladies in the Chang family.

But every time Jiang Mingyue wanted to talk to the girl from the Chang family, their eyes were full of sarcasm.

At first Jiang Mingyue thought they were all noble ladies from the capital and looked down on her, a girl from the country.

Now think about it, if Jiang Jiu's mother was killed by Madam Chang, she would not know about it, but would respect Madam Chang instead.

Mrs. Chang was very concerned about her.

Such a weird way of getting along is really scary and makes people think carefully.

Jiang Mingyue was young after all, and she fell ill after being frightened by Jiang Jiu.

Until Nanny Qian came into the house.

On the third day after she returned home, Mrs. Chang sent someone to invite her.

When Jiang Mingyue came to Madam Chang's room, she saw Nanny Qian at the first sight.

Then, Nanny Qian took two steps at a time and came to Jiang Mingyue, her eyes suddenly turned red.

"My dear lady, how come you are so thin? It's all because of me having some family matters that prevented me from accompanying you to the capital. You have suffered a lot along the way."

Nanny Qian had lived in the Jiang family for more than ten years, and Jiang Mingyue was also familiar with her.

Now there are only two of them in the Chang family, and Jiang Mingyue's tears suddenly welled up.

"Mammy, you're finally here. Xiaojiu missed you so much."

The master and servant hugged each other and cried bitterly. Mrs. Chang's eyes became more and more dark. She watched everything expressionlessly, her tightly pursed lips turned a little pale.

Nanny Qian is not as weak as Jiang Mingyue.

As soon as they met, he gave Mrs. Chang a show of power.

"Madam, I want to see you. Before my wife dies, she has a few questions to ask you. Otherwise, she will die with regrets."

Before Mrs. Chang could say anything, Lingzhi, the maid beside her, became furious.

"Who are you to come to the mansion and ask for help? You are disrespectful to our wife."

Aunt Qian was not angry either. She said calmly, "Some things I didn't tell Madam were to save the old master's face. If I really told you the truth, no one would be happy. Anyway, our Madam has passed away. I am not afraid of anything. I just don't know if Madam Chang remembers our Madam."

When Jiang Qiuyue came to Beijing, she didn't know that Chang Mingyuan had already married and had children. She was deceived.

But Chang Mingyuan already knew Jiang Qiuyue's identity. As the young master of a small boat, marrying her was equivalent to marrying half of the national treasury.

Originally, everything was going perfectly well and Jiang Qiuyue had given birth to a child. However, Mrs. Chang, unaware of the situation, broke into the villa and wanted to kill Jiang Qiuyue.

Jiang Qiuyue ran away with the child and has never been heard from since.

It was not until later, when Chang Mingyuan got angry with Mrs. Chang, that Mrs. Chang knew Jiang Qiuyue's identity. Chang Mingyuan also told her that he married Jiang Qiuyue for money.

Even if he turned back and waited for Jiang Qiuyue to come in, and then took his time to deal with it, killing the mother and keeping the son, it would still be better than forcing the person to death in the other courtyard.

Now, both my money and my life are gone.

Madam Chang knew that she had ruined Chang Mingyuan's plans, and this matter might have been planned by Chang Mingyuan and the third prince at that time.

Because she endured it in silence and lived in the Chang family for many years.

Later, when Queen Zhou became the empress and the Zhou family gradually came to power, Chang Mingyuan was promoted from the Minister of Personnel to the Left Prime Minister, and Madam Chang once again stood up in the Chang family.

Now that Jiang Mingyue has come to her house, Mrs. Chang has to keep her no matter what.

Originally Xu and Shewei casually sent Jiang Mingyue into the palace.

But I didn't expect that Nanny Qian would also follow me.

As soon as Nanny Qian arrived, Chang Mingyuan, who had originally doubted Jiang Mingyue's identity, no longer had any doubts. Since she was Jiang Qiuyue's daughter, he must treat her well.

This is exactly why Nanny Qian is so stubborn, because she knows that neither Chang Mingyuan nor Mrs. Chang can do anything to her.

Standing behind her was a small boat, the largest trading company in Jiangnan.

The colored glaze produced was only for the royal family to enjoy. Even if she wanted to kill Jiang Qiuyue's daughter directly, she had to weigh it this time.

She still remembered how serious the consequences were when she forced Jiang Qiuyue away.

Not only was she almost divorced by Chang Mingyuan, but even the empress was in trouble as well.

The prices of items in the imperial city suddenly soared, and even the emperor was at a loss as to what to do.

She also directly uncovered several corrupt officials, all of whom were under the name of her uncle.

The people of the capital were in a state of panic for several years, and things did not settle down until the new emperor ascended the throne.

Later, Madam Chang heard that Jiang Shi might not be Chang Mingyuan's concubine, but the third prince's, and that the daughter was also the third prince's child...

Mrs. Chang had no choice but to endure it when she saw Jiang Jiu and Nanny Qian again.

"Please ask Madam Qian to go back to the courtyard and rest. When the master comes back from court, I will definitely ask Madam Qian to see him."

Nanny Qian took Jiang Mingyue back to the yard, but as soon as they arrived at the yard, Nanny Qian became dissatisfied again.

"The yard is too small to live in. Go and ask your wife to get a bigger one."

"They are all the same young lady and mistress. Why does their young lady have eight maids, while our young lady only has one maid to serve her?"

Mrs. Chang then quickly ordered the servants to change the courtyard, add more servants, and hire maids and servants, all of whom were equipped according to the specifications of Miss Chang's family.
