Chapter 431 Is it possible that Yi'er is not our son?
"Hidden in the Clouds Halfway Up the Mountain? Are you sure you heard correctly?"
Nanny Lan: "I have repeatedly asked Du Kang and found out that he is Banshan Yunyin. He said that it was his eldest daughter who said it herself, so it cannot be wrong."
Gu Yining lowered his eyes and carefully recalled the dream, without saying a word for a long time.
Xiao Yanxu asked Nanny Lan and the others to leave, and sat quietly by the side, waiting for her patiently.
Half a minute later, Gu Yining looked up at him. "Brother said Song Mingen's ears look like his. The inn where the three of them nearly died in the fire has the word 'Hidden' in it. I can be sure that Song Mingen must be a descendant of the Gu family. Otherwise, I wouldn't have such a strange dream over and over again."
Xiao Yanxu said seriously, "Your analysis makes sense, but didn't you and I go to the abandoned inn together in your dream? By the time you started dreaming, Song Mingen and his family of three had already returned to Beijing a long time ago, and the inn had been rebuilt long ago, so it couldn't have been abandoned. The word 'hidden' on the sign is purely coincidental. Big brother didn't tell me directly just now, and even though we're not related by blood, we have one or two facial features that look alike. We've seen this before when we traveled through Dayuan over the years. And if Song Mingen is really Big Brother's child, it's impossible that only the ears look alike."
Gu Yining: "Don't forget that Song Mingen is wearing a mask and not revealing his true face. Naturally, we have to find out if Big Brother is a good father. If not, it's better not to acknowledge him. He has a father-in-law, a wife, and daughter. He is also a capable person and does not need to rely on the Gu family. There is no doubt that Song Mingen is of Gu family blood. Oh, by the way, what is the jade pendant you said Yu girl wanted to polish?"
Xiao Yanxu's eyes showed surprise again, "It's the same style as the jade pendant I designed for Ayi back then."
"What?" Gu Yining was surprised. "Are you sure you saw it right?"
"You're not mistaken. The back of the jade token is on a piece of paper, and there's a swastika on one side."
Gu Yining: "You said your design is unique, how come Yu girl has it?"
Xiao Yanxu was confused for a moment. "I only glanced at the details and didn't look closely. It should be somewhat different from my design back then. Also, I added some special ingredients that others can't imitate. The style designed by Sister Yu may coincide with my original idea. Isn't it said that she has been keeping it in the temple all this time?"
A terrible thought suddenly popped up in Gu Yining's mind, and her face changed.
This is absolutely impossible!
Gu Yining quickly rejected this terrible idea.
Ayi is her only son, and she raised him single-handedly.
"You only designed a swastika jade back then?"
Xiao Yanxu knew what she was thinking. "It took ten pieces of this swastika jade to get a top-grade piece. The inferior ones were all shattered. There won't be a second one. Tomorrow we'll go back to the palace and have Ayi bring it over. I'll then tell you the difference between the swastika jades."
"Are we really going back home tomorrow?" Gu Yining suddenly didn't want to go back. "We haven't found any evidence of Ayi's rebellion yet."
Xiao Yanxu: "Even if he has that intention, it's not the right time yet. Besides, my son is still waiting for me to ask for him to be crowned a prince. Even if he wants to rebel, he has to wait until he is crowned a prince and has a certain amount of power. Since I am worried that the father and son will rebel, then I will not ask for the title for now."
Gu Yining couldn't help but shudder when he recalled the fear and resentment he felt towards the father and son in his dream.
That horrible thought came to my mind again.
"What's wrong, Ning'er?"
"Could it be that Ayi is not our son?"
Jiang Mansion
"Sister Yu, why are you here? Your grandmother misses you so much. Your elder and second brothers will be arriving in Beijing soon."
"I already know. I'll be back soon." Song Yu took out the blueprint and handed it to her. "I can confirm that Daddy is the biological son of the two elders, and the current Prince Rong is a fake. I can also conclude that the beautiful woman who gave birth at the Gu family in Cannes that year must be the grandmother. The results of Daddy's investigation in Cannes must be exactly the same as my guess."
Jiang Yunwan didn't agree and asked cautiously, "What was the reaction of the two elders when they saw the blueprint?"
"Only the old man saw it. He was shocked at the time, but he didn't come to ask me. I guess Prince Rong must have an identical jade token in his hand."
Jiang Yunwan picked up the blueprint and examined it carefully. "That's a bit tricky. Prince Rong should look a bit like your grandmother. How can we tell who's real and who's fake? After all, more than 30 years have passed. Those who participated in the child swap in Cannes must have been dealt with long ago. Who was the child swapped?"
"It must be a member of the Gu family. It's very likely that Gu Wanqing did it. After all, he is the grandmother's eldest brother and she trusts him so much. It would be easy for him to arrange for someone to replace the child in Cannes."
Jiang Yunwan: "You should go back to the Du Mansion first. Wait for your father to come back and then we can discuss how to expose Prince Rong's true identity."
As soon as Song Yu left, Old Lady Jiang received the news.
"You said that no one in the Gu family gave birth to a child back then, and only the Concubine Dowager gave birth at the Gu family. Is this information reliable?"
Nanny Gui said, "My niece's wife's brother's wife's brother-in-law works as an accountant in the main house of the Gu family. His mother was the wet nurse of Gu Zhouci, the eldest master of the Gu family. Back then, Gu Wanqing was still the sole head of the Gu family in Kangcheng. When Gu Zhouci was a little over a year old, the old prince brought the concubine who was five or six months pregnant to the Gu family. At that time, Gu Wanqing gave the best courtyard to his sister to nurse her baby. They didn't return to the capital until Prince Rong was three months old."
Madam Jiang asked again, "Did the wet nurse participate in the delivery?"
"No, back then, Gu Zhouci was too weak to leave her family. On the night the Dowager Concubine gave birth, Gu Zhouci caught a cold. She was so busy that she only found out the next day that the Dowager Concubine had given birth to a son."
"What about Gu Wanqing, his wife, and his concubines that night?"
"Mrs. Gu was praying for Gu Zhouci in a temple outside the city. She said that Gu Wanqing took care of both of them that night, and she only took care of Gu Zhouci in the room. She didn't know anything about the details. The next day, Gu Zhouci's fever subsided. Gu Wanqing also sent a lot of nourishing food to the Concubine Dowager and personally fed his eldest son Gu Zhouci breakfast. He was very busy on both ends..."
Half a minute later, Jiang Youya entered the room.
Not long after, the couple went to Hibiscus Garden together.
"Sister." As Song Yu entered the Du Mansion, Du Zhixu came forward with a smile on his face. "You asked Xiao Nuo to come find me so that I can go with you to Luming Mountain to taste the blue fruit?"
Song Yu nodded expressionlessly.
Du Zhixu was even happier seeing this. His sister still recognized him as her third brother. However, seeing Song Yu's calm and pretty face, he was not sure and asked tentatively, "Sister, have you forgiven our third brother?"
Song Yu said, "You haven't done anything too wrong to me, so it's not a question of forgiveness. After all, I'm of the Du family, and even if my bones are broken, my tendons are still connected. You watched Du Zhihuan grow up, too, and there's nothing wrong with doting on her. Oh, by the way, she's recuperating at Huazhuang. If you want to visit her, stop by tomorrow."
