Chapter 337: The Loyal Servant Begs to Return Home
Of course the person who brought Qu Le's father to Beijing was not one of his own, but one of Chu Liuchen's!
"Tell me what happened back then!" Qin Wanru pondered for a moment, then spoke after a while.
"Miss, when the princess married into the palace, she did not like Mrs. Tai. What Mrs. Tai liked was her cousin. The cousin who had been brought to Duke Xingguo's mansion since she was a child was the niece of Mrs. Tai's natal family, and she had been preparing to give it to the prince since she was a child. , but the prince does not like Miss Cousin, but instead likes Princess Qinghua. After meeting the Princess, he knew that the Madam would hinder the matter, so he went to ask the Emperor for a decree to grant a marriage!"
"Afterwards, my cousin married the second young master. Princess Qinghua was a gentle person. Even though she was the princess, she still thought that she was the daughter-in-law of Duke Xingguo. However, the madam always made things difficult for the princess and even deliberately punished the princess. Lord, please kneel down, the princess and the crown prince’s first child will not be born like this..."
Qule's father told the story bit by bit.
That's the part the old lady doesn't know.
The first child of Princess Qinghua and the former Crown Prince Xingguo died due to the mother-in-law’s troubles. After that, the queen mother made some hypocritical remarks, saying that she didn’t know, and scolded Princess Qinghua for being unfilial. , knowing that she was pregnant but not telling him, deliberately trapping him into being unkind.
The prince Xingguo was furious. After a quarrel with his wife, he wanted to take Princess Qinghua away. He said that he wanted to stay away from his wife and go to the border to serve as a general. The old Duke Xingguo at that time did not allow him to leave. Both father and son There was also controversy. Old Xingguo Gong drove the former Xingguo Gong's son out of the house in anger, saying that the former Xingguo Gong's son was not allowed to reveal his identity in front of others in the future.
I originally thought that Prince Xingguo returned to the court to show weakness, but I didn't expect that Prince Xingguo was a fierce person. He actually took Princess Qinghua away without saying goodbye and went directly to the border, leaving only a letter to go to the border. The letter that concealed his name and was sent to the army only said that if he did not rely on the government of Xingguo, he could also gain fame and protect his wife.
Prince Xingguo left so suddenly. When old Duke Xingguo and the eldest princess Ruian came to their senses, they found that Prince Xingguo and Princess Qinghua had long since disappeared. After that, no matter how hard they searched, they could not be found, but The two governments did not give up, and still sent many people to the border, trying to find Prince Xingguo and Princess Qinghua.
Several years have passed, and all the people I searched for have returned, but there is still no whereabouts.
At this time, a rebellion broke out, the border was in crisis, many cities were destroyed, and even the capital was panicked for a while. However, at this time, the mansion of Princess Ruian received a letter from Princess Qinghua, saying that the crown prince of Duke Xingguo He and Princess Qinghua already had a daughter, and she was still pregnant with another daughter. Princess Qinghua was unsafe at the border due to the war, and the prince wanted her to return to Beijing first and let people from the Princess Ruian's Mansion pick her up.
After receiving the news, the eldest princess Ruian cried with joy. Although she was unwilling to pay attention to the Xingguo Duke's office, she saw that the Xingguo Duke's office had never forgotten to find information about them, so she revealed the news to the Xingguo Duke's office.
The two families sent people together to pick up Princess Qinghua. Among the people sent by Duke Xingguo at that time was Qu Le's father. The old Duke Xingguo specially called him over before he left the capital and repeatedly told him to let him go. After finding the crown prince, she followed him to protect him. Princess Qinghua returned to Beijing first and was protected by others from Princess Ruian's Mansion and Duke Xingguo's Mansion.
But in the end, this group of people only found Princess Qinghua. At that time, Princess Qinghua was hiding behind a small and tattered Buddha statue. Several maids around her were all killed by the rebels. Only she was sitting in a bloody suit. Behind the Buddha statue, he was in a daze. When he called her, she didn't respond. He only murmured the prince's name and two other vague words.
Everyone was looking around for the prince again, but couldn't find him, but the appearance of Princess Qinghua didn't seem right, so most of them escorted Princess Qinghua back to the capital, except for Qu Le's father and a few others. The individual stayed to look for the Crown Prince, Princess Qinghua and the Crown Prince's eldest daughter.
But later he could not be found, and the people sent out returned to Beijing one after another. Only Qu Le's father did not give up and continued to search. This search lasted for so many years.
The old Duke Xingguo died, and the new Duke Xingguo was the original second son in the mansion.
Now seeing Qin Wanru, Qu Le's father couldn't be more excited. The belief that had supported him for so many years was to find the prince and the lady he gave birth to.
"Miss, you... you are the lady of our Duke Xingguo's Palace, you are the most distinguished lady in Duke Xingguo's Palace!" Even a man can't help crying, thinking that his long-cherished wish has finally come true. Qu Le's father couldn't hold back his tears again. He walked to the door and knelt down facing the west.
He lowered his head and murmured to himself, piously comforting his master!
Qin Wanru bit her lip and clenched her hand hard, with endless evil hidden in her eyes!
In the last life, she did not offer a stick of incense to her biological parents. I am afraid that Qin Yuru did not miss her parents' tombs to express her filial piety!
If his parents had known about it, they would have watched with sadness as they were being pushed to death step by step.
Di, Qin Yuru, Duke Xingguo's wife, and even the wife of Duke Xingguo's mansion should all know something about it. She bit her lips hard with her teeth, and the sharp stinging made her wake up. Realize what you should do now.
She will get back everything from Duke Xingguo's mansion, his wife, Duke Xingguo's wife.
"Miss, you now know everything. Please follow me back to the Xingguo Duke's Mansion. Your Majesty will definitely be very happy!" After Qu Le's father finished speaking, he got up and walked to Qin Wanru's side. He said with red eyes.
In his opinion, finding Qin Wanru is a great thing for the Xingguo Palace. Now that the causes and consequences are clear, all he needs to do is for Qin Wanru to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan. This is also the wish of his old master. !
"She won't be happy! She has found another granddaughter!" Qin Wanru said calmly.
These words shocked Qu Le's father. He looked at Qin Wanru in astonishment, "This... how is this possible? The young lady is the master's daughter. How can there be another..."
Because the news was so shocking to him that he stammered and couldn't even speak.
"Yes, my eldest sister, Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Xingguo all think that I am the eldest sister." Qin Wanru said calmly, without a trace of emotion in her eyes, as if she was talking about someone else's business.
"Miss Qin, this...how is this possible? Miss Qin was born to Mrs. Di and is the biological daughter of General Ningyuan. How...how can she become the young lady of the Xingguo Duke's Palace?" Qu Le's father was horrified. road.
He had been in Jiangzhou for a long time, and of course he knew about Qin Yuru. When he knew that there were doubts about Qin Wanru's identity, he went to check on General Ningyuan's mansion and knew Qin Yuru's life experience very well.
"She lowered her age by two years, and took out an old bluegrass seal belonging to Princess Qinghua. In addition, Mrs. Di was not happy with her, and even beat her until there were bruises on her body, showing it to everyone. Here, Mrs. Tai feels that she has the time and evidence, so she naturally wants to recognize her!"
Qin Wanru raised her eyebrows, her eyes cold.
"This...how can this be possible? This is wrong. This is impossible!" When Qu Le's father heard that the madam wanted to recognize Qin Yuru, he turned around anxiously. After turning around twice, he suddenly stood still with a firm look on his face. He said to Qin Wanru: "Miss, don't worry, I will go to the Xingguo Duke's Mansion immediately and report your matter to the Tai Furen. I will definitely let the Tai Furen reveal you to the world!"
Tell the world? Qin Wanru fluttered her long eyelashes twice, there was a cold and sharp light in her eyes, and she sneered in her heart. In her last life, even though she recognized Qin Yuru as her granddaughter, the wife of Duke Xingguo did not tell the world. He just expressed his love and affection for Qin Yuru.
The Duke of Xingguo will not let the lineage of his late son become stronger. It is already good to give an unknown adopted daughter a good status, and then show her favor. This is the full compensation of the Duke of Xingguo. Of course, this compensation He must also compensate Qin Yuru, who is not her own, otherwise she will not be able to pass the test of Mrs. Xingguo.
She is now 100% sure that the idea of Di and Qin Yuru trying to impersonate her was certainly the idea of Di and Qin Yuru themselves, but the plan of Mrs. Xingguo must be indispensable.
Fortunately, I had no expectations at all from Duke Xingguo's Mansion!
"The Tai Madam and Mrs. Xingguo now believe in Qin Yuru and Di. It's useless what you say. Besides, do you really think they will like me?" Qin Wanru said slowly.
Qu Le's father was speechless when he asked this question. Madam Tai didn't like Princess Qinghua. If she didn't take into account Princess Qinghua's identity, she might have thought of ways to divorce Princess Qinghua and let her go. The cousin married the prince, and then the cousin married the second young master. She seemed to respect Princess Qinghua.
But in fact, he saw several times that after his cousin and the concubine said something, the concubine tried her best to torture Princess Qinghua. That time Qinghua had a miscarriage and lost her child, it was the concubine who forced Princess Qinghua to do so. The reason for kneeling down has something to do with my cousin.
After this incident, the cousin even knelt down in front of the prince's courtyard and apologized to Princess Qinghua. She said that she was accompanying Princess Qinghua on behalf of the concubine. With the identity of the concubine, she was really wrong. , and it was impossible for her, my sister-in-law, to kneel down to the courtyard gate.
Qu Le's father was the servant of Prince Xingguo at the time and had been following him all the time. It was at that time that he saw the always gentle prince kicking his cousin, and coldly told her to get out, and He said he didn't want to see her again from now on.
That time, the cousin burst into tears and couldn't help but express her feelings to the prince. Only then did Qule's father know that the cousin had never forgotten the prince.
Now, my cousin is the wife of Duke Xingguo. Will she really recognize the child born to Princess Qinghua? He will never forget the vicious curse made by his cousin at that time. That beautiful face was as ferocious as an evil ghost...
"Let's go with me to see Princess Ruian!" Seeing that he was still hesitating, Qin Wanru took a deep breath and said decisively, before going out today, she had prepared everything...
