Any female member of the Marquis's family who wants to go out must obtain permission from the mistress of the house.
Aunt Cui and the Marquis' wife have always had a very close relationship, so it would be a piece of cake for her to go out.
But this time was too long, especially since it was almost evening and there was still no sign of Aunt Cui.
"What did she do?" If the Grand Princess hadn't wanted to ask about something that was inconvenient for the Marquis's wife to know, she would have definitely gotten to the bottom of it right now.
Fortunately, after another quarter of an hour, Aunt Cui finally came back.
Upon hearing the summons from the Grand Princess, Aunt Cui did not dare to go over immediately.
"Is there something important about the Grand Princess?" Aunt Cui felt surprised and a little guilty.
After all, because of her affair with Marquis Anyuan, the Grand Princess did not like her.
Over the years, the Grand Princess has never looked for her privately.
What's more, she usually didn't dare to appear in front of the Grand Princess. Today, Zhu Haoxun happened to come to the house, and the Grand Princess wanted to see her, which inevitably made her feel uneasy.
"I don't know what the specific matter is, but when it comes to the Grand Princess, there is naturally no small matter. The Grand Princess has been waiting for Aunt Cui for a long time. I hope Aunt Cui will go with me quickly." The maid replied, and her words seemed to indicate that she hoped Aunt Cui would go back with her immediately.
Because it was getting dark and the maid had her head lowered, she naturally didn't notice that Aunt Cui's mouth was a little swollen.
How can she meet the Grand Princess in this state?
She originally wanted to go back and cover it up, but now this maid obviously didn't give her the chance.
Aunt Cui lowered her head, her heart beating fast, and followed him to the Grand Princess. Unexpectedly, she saw Marquis Anyuan there, and her heart immediately jumped.
What happened back then was a conspiracy between her and Marquis Anyuan. Without Marquis Anyuan's consent and help, how could she have done such a thing as replacing the child when she was just a guest staying in the Marquis's mansion and was pregnant?
And now the Grand Princess summoned her and Marquis Anyuan together, obviously intending to question them face to face.
The hateful Zhu Hao actually tricked her, taking advantage of her and telling her secret to the Grand Princess.
When I think of the eldest princess's unyielding character, I'm afraid she won't let her, nor her sister Ying, off easily.
Aunt Cui felt her legs go weak and she forced herself to move forward.
Marquis Anyuan came over to greet her. Seeing her dejected appearance, he couldn't help but feel worried. "Fei Niang, what happened to you? What did you do when you went out today? Why did you come back only now? Did you run into any trouble?"
Aunt Cui didn't dare to look up at the moment, she just lowered her head and said, "I did run into a little trouble, but it's all fine now."
"The Grand Princess summoned us here..."
Marquis Anyuan thought that Aunt Cui was frightened because she came to see the Grand Princess, and she didn't even dare to look up. He didn't think much of it and just comforted her, "I don't know, but seeing how serious your mother's face is, maybe there's something very important."
Aunt Cui flinched, and Marquis Anyuan hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, I will take care of everything."
Aunt Cui said "hmm", but she was not comforted by it.
When the two children were first exchanged, Aunt Cui would often have nightmares.
But more than ten years have passed, and Aunt Cui has long forgotten this matter.
It had been over ten years, not just a dozen days. How could she have imagined that Zhu Hao would know about this? It was clear that Zhu Hao wasn't the only one who knew about this. It was even possible that someone else had told Zhu Hao about it, someone who knew about it even earlier than Zhu Hao. Who could it be?
Aunt Cui followed Marquis Anyuan in with a guilty conscience.
The Grand Princess's scrutinizing gaze fell on them, causing Marquis Anyuan and Concubine Cui to feel their scalps tingling.
"Would you rather tell me the truth, or would you rather I tell you everything one by one?"
Looking at the two people kneeling before her with guilty consciences, the eldest princess decided to trick them.
Aunt Cui thought to herself, "It is just as I expected," and her face turned even paler.
But it was impossible to let her fall into the trap.
Although Marquis Anyuan didn't know that what they had done had been discovered, and Zhu Hao even used this matter to threaten Aunt Cui, he still felt guilty.
Anything that could alarm the Grand Princess must be serious.
The only "big thing" they ever did was...
Facing the Grand Princess, Marquis Anyuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
The old marquis died early, and the eldest princess raised three sons and one daughter alone, and was always strict with them. At that time, Marquis Anyuan was engaged to He, but because of Aunt Cui, he wanted to break off the engagement, and was beaten with fifty military sticks by the eldest princess.
Marquis Anyuan lay on the couch to recuperate for nearly three months, and from then on he never dared to mention marrying Concubine Cui again.
Later, Aunt Cui came into the mansion because she was beaten half to death by Zhu Hao and sought protection from the Marquis's Mansion.
Aunt Cui was a girl from the Marquis's Mansion, so the Grand Princess would naturally not stand by and watch her die.
Aunt Cui also won over the Marquis's wife, He, so much so that He felt sorry for her and took the initiative to suggest that Marquis Anyuan marry her.
The eldest princess naturally had nothing to say.
"Now that you have confessed honestly, I will spare your lives because of your initiative. If you really wait for me to tell you yourself, then it will not be..."
An Yuanhou finally couldn't stand the pressure from the Grand Princess and said, "Son, I'll tell you now."
"After my son married He, he had contact with Fei Niang. My son..."
"You admit that the child is Aunt Cui and yours?"
