Shi Wuqing's popularity increased again, but she couldn't be happy.
After unexpectedly meeting the heroine that day, she was always worried that Qi Luan would investigate privately and discover something, or that the heroine would directly find a way to contact Qi Luan.
The first meeting between the hero and heroine should have been at the palace banquet, but now it has been brought forward, and I don’t know if the plot will change accordingly.
Fortunately, the next two days were calm, and Qi Luan treated her the same as before, with nothing unusual.
She felt a little relieved.
On the third day, Shi Wuqing had just gotten up when someone outside suddenly announced that her mother had arrived.
This "mother" naturally cannot be Shi Wuqing's biological mother. Her biological mother is just a concubine. The one who can be called mother is the heroine's biological mother, the lady of the Shangshu Mansion.
Shi Wuqing knew that the other party was coming. She followed the original owner's personality and slowly tidied herself and finished her breakfast before letting him in.
The Shangshu's wife's face was not very good. She walked into the room and saw her daughter sitting in front of the piano, stroking the strings gracefully.
"You all go down, I want to have a private talk with my mother." The girl smiled gently.
"Yes." Xiaoyi nodded, and the maids following behind the Shangshu's wife also left after getting the Shangshu's wife's consent.
There were only two of them left in the room.
The Shangshu's wife didn't bother to think about her daughter's strange attitude. After the others left, she immediately said anxiously, "Lingling, your father was framed in the court and is now imprisoned. Can you ask Prince Qi to help?"
The Shangshu's wife's idea was very simple. Prince Qi and the emperor had a special relationship. If Prince Qi could intercede, this matter would surely not be difficult to resolve.
Although the two did not return to their parents' home after their wedding due to Prince Qi's health, the Shangshu's wife also heard rumors from the outside world. According to the rumors, Prince Qi doted on the princess and the two were very affectionate, so she felt that as long as her daughter asked, Prince Qi would not refuse.
However, the extremely anxious wife of the Shangshu did not notice that until now, her daughter, who was closest to her, was just sitting there, looking at her with a smile.
She didn't even stand up to greet her mother!
"Lingling?" When she didn't get a response, the Shangshu's wife asked worriedly, "Are you feeling a bit embarrassed? Are Prince Qi and you not getting along well?"
The blue-dressed girl stretched out her slender fingertips and lifted the hair from the side of her face. She smiled faintly, "The prince and I have a very good relationship... But putting that aside, mother, it seems you haven't greeted me yet, right?"
The Shangshu’s wife was stunned.
What?
What did Lingling say?
Was she dazzled? Why did she feel that the person before her was a little strange, not like her own daughter...
[(Sad) Mother! You're not seeing things, she's really not your daughter!]
【She is an imposter! 】
[It's over. The heroine's mother must be heartbroken. Anyone could not tell Ling Ling from Shi Wuqing, but she definitely couldn't!]
And the facts are indeed as the readers said.
"You..." The Shangshu's wife staggered and took a step back, fear gradually spreading in her eyes: "Who are you?"
"Mother, don't you recognize me?" The girl in blue raised her lips, her smile showing a hint of pride and contempt.
"..." The Shangshu's wife's pupils suddenly shrank: "Shi Wuqing! How could it be you?"
"Mother, please don't talk nonsense." The girl said arrogantly, "I am Shi Shuling, your only daughter. How can I be your second sister?"
Madam Shangshu was in a state of panic. She raised her hand and pointed at Shi Wuqing, her fingers trembling. "Why are you here? Where's your sister? Where's Shu Ling? What did you do to her?"
"I am Shi Shuling, also the Princess of Qi." Shi Wuqing stood up and snorted arrogantly, "Mother, you'd better stop talking nonsense. If others hear it and misunderstand that my Shi family is dissatisfied with the emperor and secretly changed the princess, it will be a heinous crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan. The whole family will be implicated."
The Shangshu's wife looked at this concubine, who was completely different from her usual docile self. How could she not understand that she was being blatantly threatened?!
She was so bold that she married Prince Qi instead of Lingling!
The Shangshu's wife's face turned pale. She simply didn't dare to think about her daughter's situation: "Where is Lingling? Where is Lingling?"
"You'll see her again in the future." Shi Wuqing smiled evilly: "Now, mother, you should know what you should do to protect the Shi family, right?"
"Your sister is so good to you. Are you doing this to her?" the Shangshu's wife asked sternly.
Shi Wuqing seemed not to hear: "You can only pretend that you know nothing. It's really pitiful. How could a high and mighty lady like you have to listen to the orders of a concubine like me one day?"
The Shangshu's wife's eyes turned red, and she stared at Shi Wuqing. If she could, she would strangle him to death!
But now, with internal and external troubles, not only can she not kill Shi Wuqing, she also has to do as she said and pretend that she doesn't know!
Otherwise, the entire Shi family will not be able to escape!
"Since you're married, you're married." The Shangshu's wife tried to calm herself down and said calmly, "As long as you get your sister back safely and then ask Prince Qi to settle your father's matter, your father and I can pretend we know nothing and not blame you. From now on, you can be your Princess Qi in peace."
Shi Wuqing sneered: "Mother, have you made a mistake? What if I don't do it? Do you dare to gamble the lives of the entire Shi family and expose me? I tell you, I am the one who belongs to Princess Qi now, not you! Give up, I will never let Prince Qi help the Shi family!"
"You!" The Shangshu's wife didn't expect that she would not agree to this and almost fainted from anger!
I was mistaken, I really was mistaken!
Who would have thought that the most docile and well-behaved second daughter would have such a nature!
Thinking of her daughter whose life or death was uncertain, her husband in prison, and her son running around everywhere, the Shangshu's wife's face became paler and paler, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Wuqing became more and more fierce.
"Don't look at me like that." Shi Wuqing took two steps back: "The Shi family has nothing to do with me."
"Good! It has nothing to do with you! You'd better not regret it!" The Shangshu's wife was breathing rapidly, obviously very angry. She gave Shi Wuqing a cold look and turned around and strode away.
