Yu Yuanzheng asked the maid to take the child to the next room. Only then did she look at her sister-in-law, who was two years older than her, with mixed feelings.
"Sister Ru, do you still remember Concubine Luo in the palace?" Yu Yuanzheng slowly began to guide.
“I remember that when I was a child, I was sick and my mother sent me to the farm to recuperate. She and my mother often came to see me together.
After that, I never saw her again after my father took office.
She treated me very well, bought me beautiful clothes and delicious snacks, and gave me jewelry." Shangguan Ru recalled.
"Then do you still remember what she looks like?" Yu Yuanzheng asked again.
"She always wore a veil when she came to see me. I only saw her without a veil when I was very young, so I can't remember it clearly. Why did my sister-in-law ask about her?" Shangguan Ru found it strange when she thought about it now.
Why does Concubine Luo always wear a veil when she comes with her mother?
She had also asked once, when she was only eight years old.
Concubine Luo seemed to say that she had caught a cold and was afraid that the disease would be passed on to her, so she put on a veil to block it.
But it's always like this. Now I think it's strange, because she was too young to think about these things at that time.
"Because you look very much like her." Yu Yuanzheng still said the most crucial point.
"What?" Shangguan Ru was surprised.
Later she began to think carefully, she was not stupid, she understood the meaning of these words immediately.
She looks a lot like Concubine Luo, in the way only mother and daughter can look so alike.
"Sister-in-law, you...you, are you saying that I was born to Concubine Luo?" Shangguan Ru asked for confirmation in a trembling voice.
"That's what your elder brother and I thought the moment we saw your true face last night.
That is to say, the day you were born, you were exchanged with your third aunt's son, your second brother Shu.
You two were born on the same day, you should know that.
And according to what you just said, Concubine Luo should agree, otherwise she won't look at you.
In other words, they agreed to exchange the children.
And Third Uncle's family knows that your existence is always a hidden danger. If it is exposed one day, their plan to exchange children will be in vain.
So let the Lin family abuse you until you die. The Third House can also push all the responsibility away and explain to Concubine Luo.
And the best way to make a woman lose the courage to live is to damage her reputation."
Yu Yuanzheng analyzed it carefully for her.
After hearing this, Shangguan Ru was unable to recover for a long time.
She is the prince's uncle's child!
She is Ziqi's eldest brother's biological sister, not his cousin.
"Wow..." Unable to hold back any longer, she began to cry sadly.
This time I am really sad to the core.
Her tragic fate was actually caused by her own mother.
It is the one who conceived her and gave birth to her.
How could she feel?!
She had been a grandmother for many years but she was not her grandmother, and she even made up an excuse that she was the daughter of her enemy.
“Hahaha…” After crying for a while, she burst into laughter again.
Laugh at her life, she is just a victim of a conspiracy.
She was the one who was sacrificed to make the other successful.
Isn't the current prince just replaced by another protagonist?
sorrow!
The education she received made her docile and not competitive. She always gave in to her two younger siblings because, as the older sister, she had to be generous.
Every time her mother distributed things, she would always pick up the leftovers from her younger sister.
Even if it was just food, she would wait until her younger brothers and sisters were tired of eating before giving it to her.
How sad!
Yu Yuanzheng had no choice but to hold her hand with one hand and gently pat her back with the other.
She has to endure this pain by herself. As long as she gets through this, she will be indestructible.
In the end, Shangguan Ru cried and laughed until she fainted.
It’s good to fall asleep. Just have a good sleep.
Everything is over.
As long as the child is well, she will live bravely.
Yu Yuanzheng put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then went next door to check on the children.
Xiao Yue'er is only two and a half years old, a very cute and sweet little girl.
The fever has just subsided and I'm still not in good spirits.
Zhiruo was holding a bowl of porridge and feeding her.
Seeing Yu Yuanzheng come in, a pair of round eyes looked at Yu Yuanzheng with some wariness.
"Yueyue, I am your aunt. I will play with you from now on. I have three younger brothers and sisters. They will also play with you in the future, okay?" Yu Yuanzheng smiled gently and coaxed softly.
But the little guy was still very wary of her.
It seems that this little girl is not easy to appease. She must have suffered too much injustice together with her mother, so she is so sensitive to everything at such a young age.
Yu Yuanzheng took out a handkerchief from her arms, folded a little mouse into it, and made all kinds of funny movements to make Xiao Yue'er smile.
While having fun, she finished the small bowl of porridge mouthful by mouthful.
"Aunt." After a while of getting familiar with the person, Xiao Yue'er finally spoke.
Le Yu Yuanzheng is very happy.
And just at this moment, Shangguan Ziqi came back.
"How is it?" Yu Yuanzheng really wanted to know the result of the Lin family's investigation.
"Don't worry, it won't end well. The Lin family has made a lot of dirty money by cooperating with Third Uncle over the years. And a large part of that money went into Third Uncle's pocket."
"That's good. Sister Ru came back and cried again, and now she is sleeping."
"Um."
"I told her everything I could possibly know about her past."
"Okay, it's better to know now. If she doesn't wait until we return to Beijing, she will be more stimulated when she sees Concubine Luo. The sooner she is mentally prepared, the easier it will be for us to make arrangements."
"So what are you going to do?"
"I will first write a letter to King Xu, asking him to bring Zishu back to the capital.
Jin Yu had already sent the iron box back to the capital. The news that the iron box had been found had already spread.
The border war has been suspended and is in a stalemate, with only occasional mutual probing.
The Canglan Army will observe and see if our Great Wei can open the iron box in the short term.
So it should be no problem for Prince Yu and Zishu to return to the capital."
That night, Shangguan Ziqi wrote a letter and asked Jinshui and Yuanshan to personally escort him to the border, as they were afraid that something might happen if they went through the post station.
They stayed in the inn for two more days, waiting until the child's condition improved before setting off again.
Before leaving, Shangguan Ziqi gave Shangguan Ru 100,000 taels of silver and silver notes.
"Brother, what are you doing? I don't want it. I can support my mother and me. I am very good at embroidery. I can support my mother and me by selling my embroidery."
How could Shangguan Ru accept it? It was one hundred thousand taels, enough money for them and their daughter to live on for the rest of their lives.
"Sister Ru, please accept this money. It is not given to you by your elder brother. It is sent to me by the prefect. It was copied from the Lin family. It is perfect for you. If you save a little in the future, it will be enough for you to raise Yue'er until she gets married, and you can also prepare some dowry." Shangguan Ziqi explained.
He knew that even if Sister Ru returned to the capital, she would not be willing to live in Prince Li's palace.
A divorced woman has a certain impact on the entire Shangguan family.
Over the years, no married girl in the Shangguan family had ever been divorced or divorced. He could imagine how difficult Sister Ru's life would be in the future.
So he helped more financially.
And this money came from the Lin family.
She would have to survive the gossips people were spreading on her own.
After a long time, no one will talk about it deliberately anymore.
After this experience, Shangguan Ru became much stronger. Although she didn't smile every day, she teased the child affectionately and kept a close eye on the child at all times.
The child became everything to her.
What they didn't expect was that even greater dangers were waiting for them on the way back to Beijing.
