However, he had also heard about the Grand Princess's obsession with her two children, and it was hard to guarantee that the old lady wouldn't ruin her reputation in her later years because of her obsession.
He needs to prove that the jade pendant did not belong to Fu Jiang, and even find evidence that he illegally obtained the jade pendant.
Yes, he and Xie Tingzhou shared the same thought: they felt something was amiss.
He had already made his demands clear, so there was no need to repeat them. He silently looked at Kang Le.
The old lady was shocked when she heard Kang Le mention the jade pendant.
That jade pendant... she had clearly kept it hidden for decades, how did it end up in Fu Jiang's hands, and how did it get discovered by Kang Le, implicating the Grand Princess...?
She always knew that the person was a nobleman, but she never expected that he was actually the daughter of the Grand Princess.
No wonder, no wonder the old Marquis...
Just then, Han Zijin cursed Fu Jiang for being despicable, pulling her back from her shock.
She was furious on behalf of Fu Jiang, and said firmly, "Fu Jiang is it."
Although she was furious that Fu Jiang had stolen the jade pendant, she could only confirm his identity now that things had come to this.
"His mother was born beautiful and delicate, but she became the wife of a butcher and became pregnant before she reached adulthood."
After we got to know each other, I learned that she had fled with her brother, who was seriously injured while protecting her. In order to pay for her brother's medical treatment, she married a butcher.
However, due to the chaos of war, the butcher's resources were limited and medicinal herbs were scarce, so her brother still did not survive, but the butcher kept a close watch on her.
She gave me a jade pendant and told me to take it to the government office, saying that someone would come to rescue her. But as soon as I stepped out the door, the butcher discovered me and snatched the jade pendant away.
She later died in childbirth, the butcher left with the child, and I followed the Marquis to join the army.
Many years ago, when I went to Qingzhou for recuperation, I recognized Fu Jiang, who bore a striking resemblance to the butcher.
The old lady finally stopped hiding the grief in her eyes. "I have always felt guilty for not being able to save her, so I have taken good care of her children."
Kang Le asked, "Does the old lady know her name?"
"Nianxi".
The old lady seemed lost in memories. "She couldn't go out, so she asked me to buy paper money for her deceased brother. She told me her deceased brother's name was Yiyuan."
Kang Le looked excited.
After the Grand Princess married far away, she secretly named her two children Da Yuan to express her homesickness.
I remember Dayuan, and I miss the streams of my hometown.
The old lady was referring to the name given by the Grand Princess. Because her two children had not yet returned to the capital, not many people knew the name.
Even Fu Jiang hadn't mentioned this matter, which shows that the old lady really knew Nianxi.
She then asked urgently, "Does the old lady remember which year she met her?"
"Unforgettable".
The old lady's expression was complicated, as if she was afraid to recall the past. "I was in the next room when she had a difficult childbirth, forty-four years ago."
The Grand Princess was separated from her daughter forty-five years ago. Nianxi was left to live in exile and married a butcher. She was pregnant for ten months and had a difficult childbirth forty-four years ago.
The timing also matched up.
Kang Le let out a heavy sigh and turned to enter the palace.
