Marquis Anyuan's eyes suddenly widened, and Aunt Cui also looked like she had survived a disaster.
Marquis Anyuan immediately asked, "Which child?"
The eldest princess' tone became even colder. "Who else could it be? It must be your child."
"That child has a miserable life. He was born by a mother but not raised by her. I never thought there would be parents like you in this world, letting your own flesh and blood wander around. It's pitiful that the child is so young, yet he has to live in poverty."
The Grand Princess ordered someone to bring Jiang Yi over.
Jiang Yi was quite nervous when he came over, but the moment he looked at the Grand Princess, he seemed to have a backbone.
"Madam, can I see my mother?"
She clutched the corner of her whitened clothes with a sense of embarrassment and said sullenly, "I, I'm not doing anything. I won't stay here. I just want to see my mother and see if she's doing well."
The voice became more choked.
"I've missed my mother so much these years."
"My father had his hand chopped off. I was too young, so he said he had no choice but to sell me to a man to earn money for his medical treatment. I'm afraid I'll never see my mother again."
Big tears fell to the ground, and the girl pleaded humbly and nervously, which made the eldest princess feel sad.
This girl is so well-behaved that the eldest princess couldn't help but think that since she looks so much like herself, she must be like her in many other aspects.
If she grew up in the Marquis's Mansion, she might inherit his legacy.
But no matter what, it will never be like it is now.
The Marquis's Mansion was not so poor that it couldn't even support a girl. Even when the eldest princess didn't know that Aunt Cui's daughter was the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, she had mentioned several times that she wanted to take the girl home.
Even though Aunt Cui and Zhu Hao had a very unpleasant quarrel back then, the child was innocent. It made no sense for the mother to enjoy herself here while leaving her daughter aside to suffer.
Now the Grand Princess finally knew why.
She leaned over and wiped Jiang Yi's tears, and said in a very gentle tone: "Good boy, don't cry, your mother is there."
She pointed to where Aunt Cui was and said, "Don't be afraid. You will live with Aunt Cui in the mansion from now on. Aunt Cui will tell you the details later."
She glanced coldly at Aunt Cui again, "I was wondering why you never dared to bring the child to the Marquis' Mansion, but it turns out that you ignored your own daughter in order to please He Shi and make your life easier for yourself, fearing that He Shi would blame you."
"But this child isn't just yours. If she's fine, you'll be fine too. If she's not, you'll only be worse off. You should know what to do, right?"
"Okay, go down." The eldest princess said this, and asked Aunt Cui to go and reminisce with Jiang Yi first.
Aunt Cui was feeling both grateful for having survived the disaster and a bit scared at the same time.
The moment she looked at Jiang Yi, her expression became extremely cold, but there was also a hint of surprise in her coldness.
The extremely simple and even worn clothes could not hide the girl's delicate and charming face. Aunt Cui could not help but compare Jiang Yuanying and Jiang Yi, and for a moment she even had the urge to kill them.
If Jiang Yi hadn't come to her house, she wouldn't have had such a thrilling experience today.
On the surface, Aunt Cui approached Jiang Yi and held her hand affectionately. Jiang Yi was flattered and quickly brushed her hand away, "Mother, are you really my mother?"
"Mom's hands are so delicate, but because I do so much farm work, my hands are not only rough but also calloused. I am afraid of scratching Mom's hands."
The girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked so nervous and humble.
The eldest princess's face became increasingly gloomy, and there was a hint of impending storm.
Aunt Cui quickly held Jiang Yi's hand and said, "What are you talking about, kid? What mother would dislike her own child?"
Jiang Yi shook off Aunt Cui's hand again, and where no one could see, she gave Aunt Cui a sly smile.
Still using that self-pitying tone, "Really? I don't believe it."
"Everyone around me said my mother didn't want me anymore. Otherwise, why didn't my mother show up even once when I went through so much hardship with my father, when people ridiculed me as a bastard who had no mother, and when other children hit me on the head with rocks?"
"Mom, please stop trying to make me happy. I'm not a child anymore."
"I came here just to see you, mother. You don't have to be afraid, and you don't have to lie to me."
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Yi's mouth. Aunt Cui immediately realized that the visitor had ill intentions. She wished she could tear Jiang Yi's mouth into pieces. However, the girl looked so pitiful and innocent that she deceived everyone.
Except for Marquis Anyuan, everyone else looked at Aunt Cui with resentment.
Aunt Cui could only suppress the rage rising in her heart, and even said to Jiang Yi more gently: "That's because mother doesn't know."
"Mom thought your dad would treat you well."
"This beast treated you like this. If mother knew, she would have come to pick you up long ago."
Although this sounded fake, Jiang Yi seemed to believe it.
"Mother, is this really the case?" She suddenly threw herself into Aunt Cui's arms. "It turns out that mother really didn't abandon me. My mother is so good. They are all liars."
By the way, he twisted Aunt Cui's arm, but to outsiders, it seemed that Jiang Yi was just moved beyond control.
The poor child who had never received any maternal love was crying so hard in the face of such hypocritical lies. It was really pitiful to see him.
