Su Jiaoniang heard the news.
Call the little girl to his side.
I asked around.
The little girl chuckled happily, "Mommy, I just feel sorry for him. A person without a father is just like a person without a mother. Even if he has mountains of gold and silver, he still seems very lonely. If you're not happy, let my brother play with him in the future, and I won't go!"
"..."
Let Futu play with Lingzhi.
Su Jiaoniang found this scene truly unimaginable!
He stared at the little girl for a while.
Thinking about Gu Lingzhi's mother, she was truly strange.
Generally speaking, women who don't like their children after giving birth are either forced into childbirth or have children with someone they don't like.
But Gu Xizhou isn't all that bad.
The princess wasn't exactly a great person, but...
It wasn't exactly forced.
Even if she had a child, she shouldn't have been so heartless. She wasn't Wu Zetian, and there wasn't a Tang Dynasty waiting for her to inherit. Competing for favor was even less useful to her.
Is the princess really Gu Lingzhi's mother?
Too many cases of child swapping have occurred in later generations.
Su Jiaoniang instinctively thought of this.
Of course, some people are born with a weaker bond with their mothers and children.
However, they are ultimately a minority.
Especially boys!
You know, these days a baby boy is a precious treasure.
She told Xiaoya to go and rest, and then called the housekeeper.
"Bring me the records of the Prince's daily life?" The steward couldn't hide the shock on his face.
Just like the emperor, the princes' sleeping locations, sleeping partners, and all the events that occurred were recorded and sealed in the storeroom.
To prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation.
They gave birth to a child who wasn't a prince.
The future female lead wants to see this!
That……
The butler responded.
Instead, they inquired with Lu Wujiu.
Lu Wujiu raised an eyebrow. He had never slept with anyone. Even though there were many women sent to him in the backyard, he had never touched any of them.
He's afraid of nothing!
With a wave of his hand, he instructed the butler to do as he was told.
The housekeeper delivered a stack of books to Su Jiaoniang's room.
Su Jiaoniang was watching a video from seven years ago.
At that time, the prince was still Gu Xizhou.
Quickly flip through the pages to check how often Gu Xizhou sleeps with women. Perhaps due to poor health, he doesn't sleep with women very often.
A maximum of twice a month!
Could you please ask about Gu Lingzhi's birthday?
Su Jiaoniang looked at the diary of sleeping with clients.
That day!
The princess's maidservants also accompanied her to the emperor's bedchamber.
People in ancient times really knew how to have fun.
That maid's name is Dongmei!
There is no one named Dongmei by the Princess's side now!
Su Jiaoniang sought out an old man in the mansion to inquire, and the old man vaguely remembered this Dongmei.
She is very cute and has a playful personality.
"Go and find out where Dongmei went, and subtly get her to tell you!"
The old nannies immediately understood what Su Jiaoniang meant.
Leave from the main courtyard.
They started sweeping, as if nothing had happened.
On this day, the princess's head maid passed by with tears in her eyes, looking very upset.
The old woman handed over a handkerchief: "Something must have happened. It's not easy being a servant. Everyone encounters these things. Just bear with it and it will pass. Don't cry. It's cold in autumn!"
The head maid wiped away her tears.
He said thank you and turned to leave.
I don't want anyone to see my pathetic side.
The old woman didn't stop them.
When it comes to asking for information, you can't just do it yourself.
We can't just stand there like that.
You need to be skillful!
Two days later, at the same address, the head maid was crying with blisters on her hands from the burns.
Sitting by the water, eyes glazed over.
The old nanny went over to greet her.
She said, "I remember there was a Dongmei who served the princess with you before. How come you're all alone today? If someone had shared the burden and said a few nice words when the princess was angry, life wouldn't be so difficult!"
"Dongmei, Dongmei is pitiful too!"
Thinking of Dongmei's fate, the head maid Suqin straightened up; at least she was still alive.
The old woman didn't ask any further questions and gave Suqin a box of burn ointment.
That's even worse!
How is that lovely Dongmei doing?
If you can't find anyone here, the old woman has connections; go to the family temple to look for someone.
Those who serve at the royal family temple lead rather dull lives, as there's no lucrative opportunity or way to be transferred.
so……
If I can earn some extra money, anything is negotiable.
soon!
The old woman then got the answer.
The princess had a pregnant maidservant who died less than two years after giving birth.
However, occasionally you can see two children in the small courtyard where the princess lives. One looks like the princess, and the other is thin and pale, but looks like a servant's child.
After that, only that servant's child remained in the courtyard!
...
The old woman heard this news.
I dare not analyze it.
He told Su Jiaoniang everything exactly as it was.
Why did Dongmei die?
Suqin must understand perfectly well.
She had a guess in her mind, but dared not say it!
However, there are always ways!
"Has Xiaoya been going to Gu Lingzhi's place these past few days?" Su Jiaoniang asked.
The butler nodded: "They go every day, bringing fragrant soups—chicken soup, fish soup, bone broth—the aroma is so rich, you just want to take a bite!"
It's a pity!
The little girl only makes things for Gu Lingzhi.
