"Granny Lü, how did she die?" Zhaohua asked with a restrained expression, as if she hadn't heard Biyu's words.
"Granny Lü?" Upon hearing this name, Biyu was startled and looked at the child in front of her in disbelief. The child was only six years old, but the question she asked made her panic uncontrollably.
How could such a young child suddenly ask about this? He must have overheard something from the princess and her consort!
Biyu tried to remain calm, but when she met Zhaohua's clear eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say that Granny Lü had accidentally fallen into the lake by the lakeside, and since there was no one else around, she couldn't be discovered and rescued in time, and died in the lake at the princess's residence.
"So, you still think it's unfair? Are you innocent?" Zhao Hua looked at Bi Yu's expression and reaction, already knowing the answer, and asked her.
Faced with Xiao Zhaohua's questioning, Biyu instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
If it weren't for Granny Lü's affair, based on her understanding of the princess and the prince consort, even if she was furious with her, she would definitely have been punished with a beating after leaving the Prince Yi's residence. But if she was lucky enough to survive, she might still have a chance to live.
However, since they have become suspicious of Granny Lü's matter, they are determined to find out the truth through interrogation. They cannot withstand the pressure, and ultimately, they will not be able to save their lives!
If we had known this would happen, we shouldn't have tried to cover it up after the princess went missing. Even if the princess was angry, at most she would have been punished with a beating and then kicked out of the princess's residence.
Holding onto a sliver of hope, I only lived five more years!
Biyu recalled that a year later, when Zhaohua was a little over two years old, after learning that the princess and her husband were coming back, she and the princess's wet nurse, Granny Lü, were so nervous that they couldn't sleep at night, and even when they did, they would wake up from nightmares.
For the next few days, Granny Lü was absent-minded and distracted. Several times, she secretly approached Granny Lü, frantically asking, "What should we do? What should we do? What if the princess and her husband find out when they return?"
Biyu felt that she might ruin things, so she had no choice but to secretly meet with her on that rainy night to discuss a solution, and then pushed her into the lake when she was not paying attention.
Fortunately, before her first birthday, the princess was always chubby and round, perhaps because she was breastfed by both the princess and Granny Lü.
More than a year later, when the princess and her husband returned and saw the very thin child, the couple felt only guilt towards the child and did not suspect anything.
After the princess went missing, she secretly brought back a fake one from the nunnery. For a long time afterward, she didn't dare to take the child out to show her face. The people working in the courtyard also rarely let them into the courtyard, citing the reason that the princess couldn't see the crying princess and couldn't sleep well, and that she needed quiet.
Several months later, the number of times the fake princess appeared gradually increased.
A child's appearance will change after the milk comes out, and besides, the fake princess's facial features are very similar to the prince consort's, so it did not arouse any suspicion.
It wasn't until the last two years that Biyu finally felt completely at ease and stopped having nightmares. She thought that this matter was a secret known only to her, and that as long as she didn't tell anyone, this secret would go to her grave with her.
Who would have thought that Prince Yi's lost daughter and Princess Yuening's daughter were stolen by the same villain!
Furthermore, the princess's biological daughter looked so much like her that when Prince Yi found his daughter, it also implicated her.
That young lady Hong is really too strange. Prince Yi trusts her completely. No, how could there really be any secret technique for bloodline identification in this world?
I had only heard of blood-drop kinship testing before, but famous doctors have long said that the blood-drop kinship testing method is not accurate. They said that if you wipe the vessel with salt or vinegar first, the blood drops will not mix. They also said that if you add alum to the water, the blood will mix quickly.
This young lady Hong's bloodline identification technique didn't involve dripping blood; she simply plucked a few strands of hair from several people, closed her eyes, and mysteriously observed for a moment before producing the result.
If it were because of Prince Yi, Biyu could plead her innocence, saying that the other party colluded with this young lady Hong to set a trap and deceive the princess.
But that was Prince Yi, the princess's uncle, and there was no serious conflict between them, so naturally the princess trusted him.
"You don't need to waste your energy on me anymore. It's true that you brought me into the princess's mansion to enjoy wealth and luxury, but I don't think you've done me any favors. Your original intention in taking me away from the nunnery wasn't out of pity for me. I was just someone you used to deceive your mother and father. You only needed to use me."
From a young age, my father taught me that no matter who I am, I should be honest, kind, upright, and tolerant.
But in order to protect yourself, you actually murdered Granny Lü. You even taught me to lie and frame innocent people. I am only six years old, but that doesn't mean I can't distinguish between good and evil.
"Call me someone unkind or heartless, I don't care," Zhao Hua said, then turned and walked away.
"Hahaha, Father? Mother? You're calling them so affectionately now, but their real daughter has already returned to their side. How could they possibly still raise you as their daughter?"
"You're still young and don't understand the selfishness and ugliness of the world. I only hope that you can retain this innocence when you grow up," Biyu said sarcastically, annoyed.
She was actually lectured like this by a six-year-old child. She couldn't understand her helplessness at all and even called her evil.
Zhaohua seemed not to hear Biyu's mockery and ridicule, and continued walking without pausing.
Stepping out of the room, he looked at Yao Guang, who was waiting beside him: "Why aren't you by the side of Mother and Princess? What are you doing here?"
Yao Guang had already walked to her side and said, "Sister, none of this is your fault. Don't let that selfish and vicious person inside affect your mood. Mother and Father are not angry with you either."
