Hearing this, Aunt Mei fell into a chair and said, "You are... that child?"
Suddenly, she shook her head and said, "No...it's not my fault!"
She explained eagerly, "At the time, Madam Xue and another family were trapped in an inn outside the capital by heavy rain. They both gave birth one after another, but Madam Xue claimed her child was seriously ill. She didn't want Minister Xue to think she was being unlucky, so she asked me to swap her child with another family's healthy one! This was Madam Xue's idea, so how can you blame me?"
"No." Fu Rongxin sneered: "It wasn't Madam Xue who changed it. Madam Xue doesn't know about this."
Mei Gu was stunned. Looking at Fu Rongxin's smile, she felt a chill all over her body.
Fu Rong thought, "It was that concubine from the merchant family. Seeing herself and the Shangshu's wife trapped in the same inn, both giving birth, and Madam Xue giving birth to a daughter of a rich family, while her own child was a lowly merchant's concubine, she grew jealous. So, taking advantage of the crowd that day, she bribed you to switch the princes, reversing the identities of the two baby girls."
Seeing that Mei Gu was still trying to deny it, Fu Rongxin's voice hardened a little: "Mei Gu, I need you to remember what I said in your mind, and then say it in front of the Xue family to prove that I am the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, and the current Miss Xue is the concubine's daughter of the Shang family."
At the beginning, Fu Ling could have killed the witness, but she didn't. Instead, she gave Mei Gu a hush money so that she could stay in Huajing. This was so that one day she could become the witness of Fu Rongxin's return to her ancestral home and complete the drama.
Now that Fu Ling was hesitant, Fu Rong felt uneasy, so she could only take the initiative to find Mei Gu.
As long as Aunt Mei spoke out this matter in public, her parents would have no choice but to go along with it and let her restore her status.
Only in this way can that beast Gao Qingnian give up his thoughts on her, and completely expel Xue Zhiyi from the Xue family. From then on, he will be isolated and helpless, and it will be much easier to deal with him.
