Chapter 206 The Fake Daughter of the Imperial Palace 12
Cao Xier finally caught her breath and when she looked up she caught a glimpse of the undisguised disgust in Wen Yuan's eyes.
Suddenly, a mouthful of phlegm got stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down, and it choked her so much that her eyelids rolled up.
She covered her throat and gasped for breath. The sound coming out of her throat was hoarse and unpleasant, like sawing wood.
My head was dizzy and my nasal cavity seemed to be blocked by something. Slowly, I could breathe in less and less air.
Her body fell straight backwards, and her soul seemed to be leaving her body.
What I see before my eyes is no longer the green tent roof that I see every day, but a beautiful garden.
The weather was just right that day. She was pregnant with a big belly, and she was walking slowly on the stone path in the middle of the garden with Xue E, whose belly was even bigger than hers.
The sunshine shone on her, making her feel warm, but Xue E beside her was not happy.
It should be said that since she was brought here and saw the charming concubine and the smart son she gave birth to, Xue E has never smiled again.
Even though she was diagnosed with twins soon after, she still couldn't be happy.
Cao Xier knew it because she felt there was no place for her here anymore.
Her husband belongs to another woman and cares about her more than his first wife. Her son's father is also the father of another boy, and he loves that child more than his eldest son.
Xue E, a peasant woman, felt out of place here. She was clearly the mistress, but the housekeeping power was in the hands of the concubine.
Obviously she was the legal wife, but the servants did not take her seriously and treated the concubine more respectfully than her.
They all said that the concubine would be promoted to the main wife sooner or later because Xue E was not worthy of being the mother of a country.
Yes, the mother of a country. When Cao Xier followed Xue E here, she found out that her man was about to conquer the whole world.
Cao Xier couldn't explain what she felt at that time. She was very grateful to Xue E for bringing her out and helping her break free from the cage.
That's why when Xue E slipped and was about to fall, she subconsciously rushed over to support her and act as a cushion for her.
But deep down she also felt jealous and unwilling.
Why is it that since they have the same status and the same starting point, Xue E can be so high up while she can only be a maid?
She doesn't accept it.
So when both of them were about to give birth, she had evil thoughts.
The situation was urgent at that time. Her fall directly broke her amniotic fluid. Although Xue E was protected by her and did not fall hard, she was still frightened and held her stomach and cried in pain.
They were sent back to the room, but after waiting for a long time the midwife and the maid never showed up.
Cao Xier knew that it was definitely the concubine who didn't want Xue'e to give birth safely. Taking advantage of the critical moment when her husband was away attacking the capital, she tried to make Xue'e die in childbirth.
Even if the man comes back and asks, it has nothing to do with her.
However, her wishful thinking was destined to fail.
Country women are different from these rich girls, especially Xue E who has already given birth to a child. Even if the second child is twins, the birth will be smoother than the first one.
Cao Xier had just given birth to the baby with great difficulty when two faint cries were heard from Xue E's side.
She leaned over to take a look and saw a boy and a girl. What a lucky life! Twins were the most auspicious dragon and phoenix.
At that time, she looked at the daughter she had given birth to, and as if possessed by magic, she switched the positions of the two children.
When the people outside heard the baby crying, they knew they could not delay any longer and rushed in. What they saw was the mistress lying on the bed unconscious with two children crying loudly beneath her.
On the other side, five steps away from the bed, Xier, the maid who came with the mistress, also had her dress stained with blood. She screamed the moment they rushed in, and a child's head popped out from under her skirt.
As if just born.
Everything that happened afterwards flashed before Cao Xier's eyes like a passing show.
She became the child's wet nurse even though she was still in the confinement period. She watched her grow up from a babbling to a delicate little fairy child to a stunning beauty.
Seeing that she was doted on, her status in the palace was higher than Xue E's.
It's great, what she couldn't get, the child got. What she didn't enjoy, the child will always enjoy.
The corners of Cao Xier's mouth curled up slightly, but her eyes were still wide open. She wanted to take another look at that child, her Highness, her Ran'er...
The little maid stepped forward tremblingly, stretched out her hand shakingly, and carefully placed it under Cao Xier's nose.
After a while, she finally screamed out in fear, shock, and sadness, and even her voice sounded like tears:
“Mammy!!”
How could she die like this? The little maid collapsed to the ground, her body shaking like a sieve. How could she die so suddenly...
Was it...was it because Miss Wen Yuan was angry...
Wen Yuan was also frightened to death and took several steps back until her back hit the door frame and she was forced to stop.
She covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes. She was terrified, shocked and panicked, but she was not sad.
It happened so suddenly that she couldn't even think of feeling sad. Her heart was in a mess. Could it be that she was really angry just now...
No, no, no, Wen Yuan shook her head violently, absolutely not! She was about to die, it just happened to be a coincidence!
Wen Yuan clasped her hands tightly together, her eyes gradually becoming firm. Even if it was really because of her, she couldn't admit it. She absolutely couldn't bear the reputation of being unfilial!
And it was for that reason...
If people knew about this, what kind of person would she be? Trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful? Shameless?
Wen Yuan's gaze slowly fell on the little maid kneeling beside the couch. There were only three of them present.
Now that one of them is gone, she herself cannot tell anyone, only this maid...
She walked over slowly, step by step, but did not notice that behind the screen on the side that connected to the small hall outside, a small fat figure flashed by and disappeared quickly.
"Dad, Dad! Mom!"
Cao Tianbao rushed into the room like a calf, scaring Cao Ping, who was lying on the bed with his legs crossed and picking his teeth in broad daylight, and Luo Caixia, who was sitting beside the bed sewing clothes for her son.
"What's the matter? What's the matter? Baoer, did anyone bully you?"
Luo Caixia quickly dropped the needle and thread in her hand and picked up Cao Tianbao, who weighed nearly 60 kilograms. She almost sprained her waist because she moved too quickly.
Cao Ping also sat up immediately: "Son, what's wrong?"
Could it be that the princess has returned?
Cao Tianbao pushed his mother away, hurried to the table and gulped down several gulps of cold water. Then he began to describe in vivid detail to his parents the scene he had seen.
"...The old lady that my father told me to call aunt just fell down with her eyes rolled up, her eyes wide open!"
He tried to stare at himself, but the flesh on his face made his eyes look even smaller, making him look weird:
"There was someone lying next to her bed crying loudly, but the cousin Dad mentioned hid far away."
Cao Tianbao actually didn't understand what was going on, he was just parroting, but Cao Ping and Luo Caixia knew what was going on as soon as they heard it.
Luo Caixia looked up at Cao Ping in shock: "Boss..."
Did Cao Xier just die like that? Was she pissed off to death by her own daughter?
Cao Ping was stunned at first, and then he was ecstatic. God was helping him!
He was originally worried that Wen Yuan would not agree to them staying and would ask the princess for help, but he did not expect that this would bring him such a great opportunity.
He couldn't help laughing, holding his wife's hand and his son's hand: "Let's go, from today on, this place will really belong to us!"
Wen Yuan, who had just calmed the little maid down through coercion and inducement, hadn't even breathed a sigh of relief when she suddenly heard a burst of ghostly howling coming from outside the door:
"Xi'er, my dear sister, why did you leave like this? What will happen to our family of three?"
Wen Yuan gritted her teeth in hatred, her eyes almost bursting with anger as she looked outside the door. How could they know it so quickly?
This person is not a relative at all, he is clearly a scoundrel!
On the other side, Su Youran was having dinner with Xue E in Fengyi Palace. Su Tiangang and Su Jingxi were also there.
Often at this time Su Jingan would consciously step away so as not to disturb the intimacy of the four-member family.
In the past, Xue E would bring Su Jingtai with her, but since she had to recuperate recently, she didn't let him go back and forth anymore. She just sent someone to bring over a peach blossom that Ran'er brought back, so that she could enjoy it with him.
Su Tiangang happily touched the amulet that his precious daughter had asked for him. As expected, Ran'er still cared about him the most. Look, even the amulet she gave him was bigger than others.
Su Jingxi told Xue E about what he saw and heard on the road:
"Ran'er was kind enough to buy all the things from that couple and brought them back. Would you like to take a look at them later, mother? After all, they cost a lot of money to buy them."
Xue E was laughing so hard and the atmosphere was harmonious when a little palace maid swayed at the door of the palace. Nanny Wei, who was standing behind Su Youran, frowned slightly.
He is from Changle Palace.
She carefully walked out of the hall without even looking at the palace maid, and walked forward, only stopping when she was sure that the voice could not be heard in the hall.
"What's wrong?"
Is there anything so important that it has to be reported when the princess is reunited with the emperor and empress?
The little maid stuttered a little under her stern gaze:
"Madam... there's news from outside the palace. Madam Cao... Madam Cao just left... and left a message before she left, saying that the house and half of her savings would be handed over to her brother and nephew."
oh?
Wei Fangruo raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. This was really strange. They had just left, and the person who seemed to be in good spirits actually turned around and left?
Are you really going to give the property to her brother from her natal family whom she hasn't had any contact with for more than ten years?
Who are you trying to fool!
Wei Fangruo's face suddenly darkened. She didn't care who was right or wrong here. What she cared about was that someone dared to fool the princess.
What is he trying to do, or does he simply not take the princess seriously?
"Go check it out. Check it out carefully and find out what's going on!"
Inside Fengyi Palace, Su Youran withdrew her gaze from outside the palace, her expression unchanged, and changed the subject:
"Father, I want to go to Qiushan Academy with my fourth brother."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other three stopped what they were doing, and Su Tiangang's first reaction was to glare at Su Jingxi fiercely.
Did you really instigate Ran'er?
Su Jingxi: ...
If I say I was wronged, would you believe me?
He lowered his head and acted like a quail. He really hadn't had time to say anything to Ranran.
But if Ranran could really go with him, that would be the best. Otherwise, he would be gone for two or three years, and if Ranran was cheated by some bad boy, what would he do?
It’s safest to carry it with you.
