Chapter 426 Stealing the House
"Of course it's true. She wasn't dead at all. She was stolen and thrown away by Cheng Zhang. It was such a coincidence that she was picked up on the street by Yu's cousin's brother Xiao Nuo. The sisters spent a long time investigating before they found out the truth."
"Do you know the reason? The imperial edict probably didn't specify it, did it?"
Jiang Guanchen made up a story, "Of course, the second branch of the Cheng family coveted the title of the first branch, and wanted to replace it with my aunt and raise the child to inherit the entire Cheng family in the future. If the child hadn't died and my cousin hadn't been picked up, the second branch of the Cheng family's grand plan would have succeeded, and the first branch of the Cheng family would have been stolen by the second branch without anyone noticing. Hey, if this kind of thing can happen in the Cheng family, I wonder if it has happened in other aristocratic families?"
Xiao Chengqian felt inexplicably guilty, "How is this possible? What the Cheng family did is simply horrifying."
"Indeed, but after something like what happened to the Cheng family, I guess the wealthy families in Beijing will probably have to carefully check whether the children they raise are from someone else. Otherwise, it would be so unfair if their family was stolen!"
"Ha..." Xiao Chengqian smiled, "That's right. By the way, what do you want from me?"
"Let's arrange the schedule for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. My two sisters have classes tomorrow."
"What?" Xiao Chengqian pretended to be surprised. "What's going on? Don't we have classes tomorrow?"
"My sister sent a message saying that Mr. has something going on at home and has rescheduled her class from the day after tomorrow to tomorrow."
"I see. Then I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow morning."
Jiang Guanchen asked again: "Can you bring my cousin with you?"
Xiao Chengqian: "Of course, it's more lively with more people. I haven't met your cousin yet, and I'm curious about what he looks like. Oh, by the way, bring Young Master Wen along too."
Xiao Chengqian sent Jiang Guanchen away and returned to Prince Rong's mansion.
"ha……"
Lin Yutang couldn't stop laughing when he heard the gossip told by Nanny Lin.
"Jiang Yunshu is such a fool. He doesn't even know his son is alive and has been replaced."
Nanny Lin: "Who could have thought of this? It's impossible to guard against it. Cheng Zhang is really scheming. If it weren't for the Wen family's son picking up the person, the Cheng family's first wife would have really been robbed by the second wife."
"What house are you stealing?"
Xiao Hongyi walked in.
"Your Highness, Boss Jiang's grandson didn't come back from the dead..."
Lin Yutang carefully recounted today's gossip to him, "I finally understand that the Jiang family's eldest daughter's return brought good fortune. Song Yu is that blessing. Not only did she cure Old Madam Jiang's eye disease, but her brother from the Wen family also picked up Old Madam Jiang's grandson on the street. If Jiang Yunwan hadn't returned, Old Madam Jiang would definitely still be blind, and Jiang Yunshu would still be kept in the dark. Even the child she's carrying would be plotted against!"
"Madam Lin!" Xiao Hongyi ordered with a stern face, "Take everyone away!"
"yes!"
After the servants had left, Xiao Hongyi said, "Song Yu is indeed a blessing to the Jiang family, but not to us. Don't forget that she is recuperating for the little prince!"
"Oh, why rush? Song Yu will marry us sooner or later. Once we have a child, they'll naturally be on the same page with us..."
"Father, Queen Mother." Xiao Chengqian strode in and closed the door. "Have you heard about the Cheng family?"
Lin Yutang said, "I was just discussing this with your father."
"The news spread so quickly! After the Cheng family's incident, all the wealthy families in Beijing will definitely check whether their own children are their own. Otherwise, they might switch children and steal the family like the Cheng family did."
Xiao Hongyi's heart skipped a beat. If his father and mother knew about this, would they be suspicious?
Probably not!
"That's great, isn't it? Every family should investigate carefully. Otherwise, it would be foolish to raise someone else's child and then have the child stolen from their home. Fortunately, there is only one family in Prince Rong's mansion."
Xiao Hongyi and Xiao Chengqian looked at each other.
"Gossip." Xiao Hongyi winked at him. "You didn't come back just to talk about this, did you? Is there some difficult case you can't make up your mind about?"
"Yes, father."
"Then follow father to the study and we'll discuss it in detail."
Xiao Hongyi's study.
"We can't wait too long. We're inviting the sisters to Luming Mountain tomorrow. We can make things fait accompli with Song Yu there. Father will have his own way of making her obey us. She's not only taking care of the little prince, but also the emperor. Then we can have her take action against both father and son."
Xiao Chengqian frowned, clearly disagreeing. "Why does Father expect Song Yu to obey his orders? If we don't handle it properly, it will all be in vain."
"...Father will arrange for someone to hypnotize her!"
Xiao Chengqian: "Hypnosis isn't very reliable. I have a better way."
Xiao Chengqian leaned close to his ear and told him in detail about the conspiracy between her and Du Zhihuan.
Xiao Hongyi's eyes flashed with joy, and his tone was a little excited. "I really didn't expect that Huanhuan is smart! If this works out, she will be your legal wife in the future! When will you start?"
"The day after tomorrow, Huanhuan's face transplant will be successful."
"Are you sure?"
"Hanhan said it's no problem!"
Xiao Hongyi was in a good mood. "Go and make careful arrangements. Only success is allowed."
Yunqi Inn.
"Ning'er." Xiao Yanxu hurried forward when he saw Gu Yining wake up. "Does your head still hurt?"
"It's okay." Gu Yining held his head and sat up. "I haven't had that dream in a few days. It happened again last night. Is it telling me that Ayi is going to rebel soon?"
Xiao Yanxu said, "I've arranged for someone to sneak into the palace. Yi'er is fine now. She's been staying at the palace with Tangtang for the past two days to take care of the baby. Even if we want to rebel, we have to wait until the little grandson is born safely. If you're worried, we'll go back tomorrow. It's time to go back too. If we don't go back and finalize the marriage, my grandson's wife will be kidnapped by the Mu family brothers and sisters."
"Cuiyun."
Cuiyun heard the voice and pushed the door open, "Princess."
"How's the work you were asked to do going?"
Cuiyun said, "The staff we bought have been trained almost completely. The properties in the palace are now all managed by the young prince. The shopkeepers of each shop are not innocent, and we have secretly obtained evidence to arrest them at any time. However, there are still twenty shops under the name of the princess that have not been checked. The shopkeepers of the dozen or so most profitable shops have been replaced by the young princess's staff. The young princess found an excuse to send the original shopkeepers back to the Gu family."
Gu Yining knew all these things; Gu Wanqing had told her in a letter.
She felt that her daughter-in-law was the mistress, and her property would either be given to her son or grandson, so naturally it would be handed over to her daughter-in-law to manage.
Now I have dreams...
"Arrange someone to send a message to Yan'er. Have her bring my eldest brother tomorrow. It's time to let him know that I'm back. The remaining twenty families need to be checked tomorrow. We can take action on the day we return home."
"good."
"I'll have someone quietly go to the Du Mansion. I want to meet with Sister Ye in advance to set the wedding date. The time is scheduled for tomorrow morning at the Du Family Tavern."
"Yes, princess."
After school, Song Yu returned to the Jiang Mansion and first met the two elders, Jiang Youya.
Song Yu sat there for less than half an hour with something on his mind before he hurried to Furong Garden.
"Youya, Ming'en didn't come back last night. Sister Yu is anxious to go back and wait for Ming'en. It seems she still insists that Ming'en is of royal blood. Have you made any progress in investigating the incident at Prince Rong's mansion thirty years ago?"
Jiang Youya's face froze. "...We've already arranged for someone to investigate."
Madam Jiang rolled her eyes at him. "You definitely haven't arranged anyone yet. By the time you find out, it will be spring. I've asked Madam Gui to investigate, and we'll have the results in two days."
Hibiscus Garden
"Mother, have you sent anyone to the Wen Mansion to inquire today? Why didn't my father come back last night?"
Jiang Yunwan: "Your aunt Jiaojiao said that there has been no news from Cannes, and your father couldn't wait, so he went south to Cannes with your Uncle Wen last night. Zhang Feng just came back, and the two elders didn't come downstairs all day today."
Song Yu was a little annoyed at the result. He calmed down and thought about it carefully. "I didn't look at the keepsake carefully at first. Did you look at it carefully, mother? Can I draw it? I'll take the portrait and test it."
