The eldest princess's gaze suddenly became sharp.
She originally felt guilty towards He Shi for letting He Shi's daughter live away from home for many years, but she never expected that He Shi would have such a plan.
Instead of loving her own daughter, she loved someone else's daughter, and this person even replaced her daughter.
Even if he had developed feelings for Jiang Yuanying, he would never be so partial to her.
The eldest princess looked at He with a cold gaze.
"Are you questioning my decision?"
He fell silent immediately.
The Grand Princess continued, "Mrs. Cui switched the two children. Now that we know about it, we should rectify the situation. I will find a time to tell everyone about this."
"From now on, Xiaoyi is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. As for Sister Ying, she has enjoyed the glory that should not have belonged to her for so many years. Now it is time for her to return it."
He said, "If this is done, wouldn't the scandal of our mansion be known to everyone?"
"What do you think?" the eldest princess asked again.
He said, "Of course, we'll just follow the previous plan and make up for Jiang Yi in other ways."
"Nonsense!" The eldest princess slammed the table. "You are truly foolish. I was originally feeling guilty about you, but now seeing how you look, I'm afraid you're no different from them."
"Forget it, forget it. I'm not at ease leaving Xiaoyi to you. From now on, I'll take care of Xiaoyi's affairs."
The Grand Princess asked him to leave.
Afterwards, the eldest princess went to the palace to see the emperor and told him about the incident in the marquis's mansion. On the one hand, she wanted to ask for a reward for Jiang Yi so that she would not have too much trouble in the future and there would be fewer rumors.
The second thing is that marriage.
As the dignified Prince Gong, he naturally could not marry a concubine's daughter.
This matter was the fault of the Marquis' Mansion. The Grand Princess felt guilty about the incident and wanted to cancel the marriage on her own initiative. She couldn't let Prince Gong suffer any injustice.
After listening to the eldest princess's story, the emperor was also surprised.
There is such a thing in the world.
"There's no need to cancel the engagement," the emperor said. "Marriage is about uniting two families. My great-aunt certainly wouldn't want something like this to happen in her family. Breaking off the engagement rashly would be bad for both Prince Gong and the Marquis's family."
"The wedding will continue as usual, only the person will be replaced by Fourth Miss Jiang."
The eldest princess is the most senior elder in the royal family. She had made great contributions to the country in the past. Although Marquis Anyuan is a little mediocre, the prince of the marquisate is a capable one.
He was the daughter of the Grand Tutor, so the identity of Fourth Miss Jiang was very noble, and she held great weight among both civil and military officials.
Although the emperor and Prince Gong had not spent much time together since childhood, Prince Gong was his only younger brother after all, so he still cared a lot about his younger brother.
