Chapter 333: Revenge of the Father
"Zhang Guizhi, I have always treated you well, but it doesn't matter that you stole my jewelry and ran away, and now you are still here to slander me. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
Listening to Mrs. Zhang telling her everything about what happened that year, Mrs. Dong felt flustered.
But there was a look of indignation on his face, and he cursed Mrs. Zhang angrily.
They were afraid that Ning Chuyi and King Dingyuan would believe Dong's words and kill her whole family.
After Mrs. Zhang kowtowed heavily, she raised her hands and swore, "Sir, I swear, everything I said is true, and there is absolutely no lie."
At that time, Mrs. Zhang went to the House of the Minister of Household Affairs with Dong as her dowry, and she worked hard to become her confidant.
Originally, Mrs. Zhang was married, but the man died not long after the marriage.
Later, he finally fell in love with a steward and was preparing to get married for the second time.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Dong forced her to secretly change her daughter to Princess Dingyuan.
In order to avoid being silenced by Dong, she had no choice but to run away.
Worried that Dong would send someone to kill her, she could only remain anonymous and hide in a very remote village far away from the capital.
Although she had married and had children in recent years, her life was not as good as when she was in the capital.
If Mrs. Dong hadn't forced her to change her child, she would have already married the steward.
Mrs. Zhang also had grudges against the Dong family.
"Madam, this old slave has never told a lie. Back then, the old slave advised you not to change your child.
But you refused to listen and forced me to do it.
You resented the princess for attracting refugees to rob her, causing you to fall down and give birth prematurely.
But those refugees have nothing to do with the princess.
Also, if you hadn't seen the princess's convoy on the street heading to Xuguan, you started to cling to her and wanted to get to know the princess, and then decided to go to burn incense, how could you have been robbed by those refugees. "
Having been exposed in public, Dong's face turned red and white. Although she was embarrassed, she still wanted to quibble.
"You're talking nonsense..."
Dong was so focused on how to get away with her crime that she didn't realize that Princess Dingyuan was filled with guilt because she didn't know Ling Chu had been secretly replaced.
Seeing that she was still trying to make excuses, she was so angry that she trembled all over and almost fainted.
And King Dingyuan was even more furious.
Just as Dong's quibbling words came out, a murderous aura suddenly burst out from King Dingyuan.
In one movement, he reached Wei Feng's side, and with lightning speed, he pulled out the Xiuchun Dao from his waist.
Before anyone could react, a cold light flashed with a wave of his hand.
The embroidered spring knife has been inserted into Dong's chest.
Dong grabbed the knife on his body with both hands, stared wide-eyed, and threw it heavily to the ground.
I will never die with my eyes in peace.
His pupils were full of disbelief.
Han Yao looked horrified, screams came to her mouth, and she tried her best to hold it back.
Ning Chuyi glanced at King Dingyuan and slowly put the sword back into its scabbard.
The three people in the Ling Mansion looked pale, but seeing King Dingyuan's gloomy face, no one dared to speak.
I was afraid that he would kill them all too.
No one expected that King Dingyuan would suddenly kill Dong.
There was silence in the private room.
After a long time, Ling Chu finally broke the silence and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty...".
Although I feel a little regretful that I can't avenge the original owner personally, if the original owner knew about it, he would definitely be happy.
Her biological father personally avenged her.
King Dingyuan frowned and was about to correct her title.
The door to the elegant room was suddenly pushed open by a strong force.
It took so many years to learn that his biological daughter had been exchanged, and King Dingyuan was in a bad mood.
Suddenly interrupted by the banging of the door, he turned his head sullenly.
But he saw Han Song helping the madam, who looked unhappy, into the private room.
The guards following behind were blocking the shopkeeper and the waiter who were being blocked by Cha Yueju.
While the door to the private room was pushed open, the shopkeeper took a quick look at Ning Chuyi.
Seeing him nodding slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Song and his wife arrived suddenly, bringing with them guards. In order not to expose their identities, the shopkeeper could not fight with the guards.
"Mom, why are you here?" King Dingyuan glared at Han Song before asking the lady.
The madam glanced at everyone with a sullen face.
"I heard from the maid that Yaoyao left the house suddenly. Her muscles and bones have been injured for a hundred days, and her legs are not healed, so how can she run around."
When Han Yao saw the sudden appearance of the wife, her tears immediately fell down, "Grandma, second brother, you are finally here."
Han Song didn't see King Dingyuan glare at him.
When he entered the private room, he was shocked to see Han Yao lying on the ground in a miserable state.
His father and eldest brother stood aside with a sullen expression, while his mother and concubine stood with that Miss Ling.
But Han Yao was ignored.
Han Song was puzzled and distressed, and rushed over quickly, "Yao Yao, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing a pool of blood in front of Han Yao, Han Song was even more shocked and angry. If his father, queen, concubine and eldest brother were not present, he almost couldn't help but ask who hurt her.
Holding back his anger, Han Song picked up Han Yao and sat down on the chair.
Seeing that her leg was broken again, Han Song couldn't hold it back, frowned and turned around, "Father, mother, concubine, what happened? Why is Yaoyao injured?"
King Dingyuan did not reply to him, and asked him with furrowed brows, "Why are you here?"
Han Song was just about to say that Han Yao's maid suddenly came back home in a hurry, saying that she had been beaten, so he and his grandmother rushed over.
The madam over there had already asked King Dingyuan with a sullen face, "What's going on? Since you are all here, who dares to beat Yaoyao in front of you?"
This matter could not be explained in a few words, and King Dingyuan was about to elaborate.
Ling Chu said calmly, "I beat him."
The sharpness in the eyes of the old lady flashed, and her eyes fell on the hand of Princess Dingyuan holding Ling Chu's arm, and her face became even darker.
"Who gave you the courage to beat the girl of our Dingyuan Palace?"
Ling Chu was about to speak, but a majestic voice beside him spoke first.
"Mother, of course I gave it to you."
Ling Chu was stunned, and looked at the Dingyuan King with a complicated expression.
Princess Dingyuan did not look at her husband, but patted Ling Chu's hand gently as if to comfort her.
The old lady looked at her son in astonishment.
Han Song frowned, his eyes swept across everyone's faces, and he inexplicably felt that his elder brother and Miss Ling were the children of his father and mother.
He and Han Yao were outsiders.
Han Yao originally wanted to cry to the old lady, but when he saw that the Dingyuan King looked bad, he was frightened.
The Dingyuan King did not give Ling Chu a chance to speak, and looked directly at the old lady, and told the key points of the matter.
After hearing this, the lady's expression did not change, and her face remained calm.
No one could tell what she was thinking.
Han Yao was a little panicked, wiping away tears with grievance and sadness, "Grandma, I was just a newborn baby back then, I had no idea what happened, and I was helpless.
Grandma, I... I don't believe I'm not a child of the palace..."
The lady's face was gloomy, and seeing her panic, she looked at her indifferently.
After Han Yao stopped crying, she said to King Dingyuan, "That Dong is dead, and now there is no evidence, who knows what the truth was back then.
Since Yaoyao called me grandma, she is the child of my Dingyuan Palace." (End of this chapter)
