Chapter 288 Now it seems that she is simply the stupidest person in the world
Lu Yanshi felt helpless when he heard her thoughts.
Although the child is smart, he is too young and always fails to consider things carefully.
So he pretended to be surprised and whispered in his daughter's ear, "Xiaojiu, you don't even need to sleep now. Just take a look at them and you will know what's going on. You are much more powerful than the Saint of Southern Xinjiang back then."
When Lu Li heard that his father had found an excuse for him, his eyes lit up and he nodded hastily.
"Yes, Father, I also feel that I am getting more and more powerful. Last night I had a dream that the gods in the sky touched my head, and then when I saw these people today, I knew what was going on. Did the gods give me supernatural powers?"
After Lu Li finished speaking, she let out a sigh of relief. Would the emperor believe this excuse?
"Of course it is. Our Xiaojiu is so cute, even the gods like you." Lu Yanshi touched her little head lovingly.
Lu Li heaved a sigh of relief immediately and covered her mouth with both hands, fearing that someone would discover that she was laughing secretly.
[Great! I fooled my father.]
[No need to use dreaming as an excuse anymore! Hehehe, happy! ]
The people involved below became anxious when they saw that Lu Li did not move after he said this and instead whispered with the emperor.
"Your Highness, why do you say that?" Cang Ruoyin sensed something unusual in Lu Li's words.
Lu Li came to her senses and answered seriously, "This child is not yours, nor is it hers. It is the child of your husband and the concubine. Naturally, he doesn't look like you. But he looks exactly like the concubine."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's face changed.
Zhang Gong's face turned extremely pale.
Cang Ruoyin was so shocked by these words that she fell to the ground.
Son of a concubine's daughter?
She actually raised her concubine's son as her own for a whole year?
"You gave birth to a daughter, but he switched her with his concubine's daughter." Lu Li continued.
"Your Highness, you haven't even investigated, so how can you slander my innocence?" Zhang Gong denied hastily, and then tried to help Cang Ruoyin up from the ground.
"Ruoyin, believe me, I don't have any mistresses. I only have you."
Cang Ruoyin's mind was in a mess at the moment and she couldn't say a word.
"What do you mean by slandering your innocence out of nothing? I would never do such a thing, okay?" Lu Li snorted and pulled Lu Yanshi's hand in a coquettish manner.
"Father, the concubine lives in Yanliu Xie Street. Her name is Wan Qingqing. Can you send someone to bring her here?"
When Zhang Gong heard this, the blood on his face, which had turned red due to nervousness, instantly faded and turned pale.
The princess actually knew!
How did she know!
Ye Zhenniang who was standing by was completely dumbfounded.
So the person she stole was a concubine who was not presentable? ? ?
"Of course there is no problem. Didn't you hear the Ninth Princess' instructions? Why don't you go and bring the person here?" Lu Yanshi glanced at the guards beside him.
The guards hurried to look for someone.
In less than an incense stick of time, Wan Qingqing was brought here.
As soon as she appeared, there was no need to argue, her face could prove everything.
She fidgeted with the handkerchief in her hand nervously, glancing at Zhang Gong out of the corner of her eye.
What happened? Why was she suddenly summoned to the court?
Looking at the identical faces of the child in Wan Qing and Ye Zhenniang's arms.
The tightly stretched string in Cang Ruoyin's head was completely broken.
She married into the Zhang family because Zhang Gong promised not to take a concubine.
So far, he has done very well. His parents-in-law have tried to test him whether he wants to take a concubine, but he has always refused.
She thought she was the happiest person in the world.
Now it seems that she is simply the stupidest person in the world.
"Zhang Gong, you bastard!" She was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Zhang Gong.
Then I remembered the most important thing.
"Where did you send my daughter?"
"Go ahead."
She grabbed Zhang Gong by the collar and asked him heartbreakingly.
Wan Qingqing didn't understand what was going on at first, but after hearing these words, she finally reacted and a look of panic appeared on her face.
"Where is my daughter? Give my daughter back to me." Seeing that Zhang Gong did not answer her, Cang Ruoyin rushed towards Wan Qingqing.
"I don't know what you are talking about." Wan Qingqing struggled desperately, refusing to admit it.
"Oh, I forgot to ask the guards to bring her daughter here as well." Lu Li patted his head belatedly.
"Don't worry, father has already instructed." Lu Yanshi gave the guard a look.
The guards then brought out the little girl who was placed in the back.
The little girl was already five years old, but she looked much thinner than other children of the same age. Her hands, which should have been white and tender, were covered with marks of scabies and frostbite.
It can be seen that he suffered a lot at the hands of Wan Qingqing.
"Your daughter is here." Lu Li reminded loudly.
Cang Ruoyin, who was questioning Wan Qingqing, turned around suddenly.
The mother and daughter looked at each other, and Cang Ruoyin's whole body began to tremble and her teeth chattered.
She wanted to go up and hug her daughter, but she was afraid that her daughter would not recognize her.
The little girl didn't look at her, but looked at Wan Qingqing behind her. When she met Wan Qingqing's eyes, she shuddered and lowered her head in fear.
Her frightened and helpless look hurt Cang Ruoyin's heart.
Her daughter, who should have been raised as a treasure in the palm of her hand, was harmed by that woman and became like this.
She could no longer control her excitement, rushed forward, hugged the little girl and cried loudly: "My dear girl, I have been looking for you for a long time."
The little girl was a little confused. She looked at Wan Qingqing and then at the woman in front of her.
Finally, he looked helplessly at Zhang Gong, whose face was as pale as frosty.
"Dad, what's going on?"
"He is not worthy of being your father, and that woman is not your mother. I am your mother. Nannan, I lost you, I'm sorry for you." Cang Ruoyin held the little girl's face, eager to prove her identity.
"Really?" The little girl's eyes lit up with anticipation and hope.
Sometimes she always felt that her mother was not her mother, but just her younger brother's mother.
Her mother either beat or scolded her, but loved her younger brother very much.
She started washing diapers for her brother when she was three years old and has been doing it ever since. She always thought that her mother didn't like her because she didn't do a good enough job.
It turned out that it was all because that woman was not her biological mother.
"Really!" Cang Ruoyin nodded repeatedly.
The emperor and the princess told her with all their heart that this was their daughter and there was no way she could be wrong.
"Would you please come home with me? I'll make delicious food for you and buy you beautiful clothes." She looked at her daughter with heartache.
"No, no." The little girl was startled and shook her head repeatedly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I don't want delicious food or beautiful clothes."
She was shaking all over with fear.
"Nannan, what's wrong with you?" Cang Ruoyin was shocked as she didn't expect her to react like this, and hugged her anxiously.
