"Master, I didn't expect that servant to be so disloyal. In order to let his son live a good life, he actually exchanged my legitimate daughter for her! My daughter was originally a daughter of a royal family, but now she has become the concubine of Prince Chun. It is a great shame and humiliation."
"What are you talking about! Shut up. If this gets to King Chun's ears, be careful not to offend people for no reason."
As soon as Tu Yufan opened his eyes, he saw a noblewoman in ancient costume crying, a middle-aged man with a frown on his face, constantly walking back and forth, and a middle-aged woman kneeling on the ground, muttering, "My lord, I am innocent. How could I do such a thing? Madam has been so kind to me. I would never do such a thing."
The middle-aged woman, Cuixiang, used to be the mistress's maid. Later, she was married to a servant. After the mistress gave birth to a legitimate son, she decided to return the indentures to them, and the two officially became free people. Cuixiang was always grateful for the mistress's kindness, but she did not expect that more than ten years later, she was suddenly caught by the master's family, who angrily accused her of exchanging their son with the master's legitimate daughter without permission.
Cuixiang was covered in cold sweats. She never expected that her eldest daughter Caiqing was the master's legitimate daughter.
Caiqing has been very beautiful since she was a child, and her personality is more lively and bold than anyone else in the family. Cuixiang and her husband are both timid and honest, but Caiqing is different. Because of her beauty, a matchmaker once introduced her to a scholar, but Caiqing actually didn't like him. Cuixiang could only reject the matchmaker according to her daughter's wishes.
Unexpectedly, when she heard that Prince Chun was coming to provide disaster relief, she actually went into the city without saying a word. She was also favored by Prince Chun and entered the palace as a concubine.
Back then, she and her wife gave birth on the same day, and she was just a servant, so how could she have the ability to replace two children.
However, there was evidence both from witnesses and from evidence, and she was falsely accused of stealing the lady's money. It was said that she took advantage of the chaos in the mansion to bribe someone to exchange the child.
The master is now the Minister of Revenue, Zhao Tang. If Caiqing is really his legitimate daughter, then she can be the prince's principal wife, and there is no way she can be reduced to a concubine who can be tortured at will.
As soon as Tu Yufan sat up, he felt a slight headache. He covered his head and took a few deep breaths, and finally felt better.
This person was extremely weak, and Tu Yufan also felt that there seemed to be signs of poisoning in his body. It seemed that the situation he had just come across was not very good.
Zhao Tang glanced at Tu Yufan with a complicated expression and said, "Yufan, you're awake. How are you?"
Madam Zhao said sarcastically, "Don't faint again. Although I know it's hard to accept, it's the truth. You should have been a child of the family. I sold your body to them so that your father and daughter could be free. But they secretly exchanged my daughter for you. You have been living a life of luxury for my daughter all these years!"
What? The mistress is a fake young master, and the real one is a woman. Tu Yufan was stunned for a moment. Why did he feel that the mistress's eyes were full of hatred when she looked at him? It seems that she hated the whole family, but after all, she had been raising him for more than ten years, and she didn't have any sympathy at all?
Tu Yufan felt that his adoptive father seemed to be easier to talk to, so he whispered to Zhao Tang: "Thank you very much, father - you have raised me for many years. I have no way to repay you. If I achieve something in the future, I will definitely repay you a hundredfold."
Zhao Tang also sighed. Although this son was not as healthy as his third son, he was good at dealing with people, knowledge and character. His first son was a bastard, so he always treated his eldest son as the heir. However, his wife favored his third son, which he could understand. After all, the third son was smart, lively and cute, so it was understandable that she favored the youngest son.
But now that the matter was exposed, he had no choice but to give up this fake son. However, due to their years of relationship, Zhao Tang still felt reluctant.
