Chapter 165 Didn’t you say that the mother and daughter were dead?
Inside the carriage, Ye Xuanqi looked at the girl who was twisting her sleeves nervously and asked, "Are you ready?"
The girl took a deep breath to calm herself down and nodded firmly.
But Ye Xuanqi still gave her one last chance: "It's not too late for you to regret now."
The girl's attitude became more and more firm: "Your Majesty, I have made up my mind and I will never regret it!"
Ye Xuanqi nodded slightly to Zhou Feng, who took the order and left with the girl.
A quarter of an hour later, a girl in coarse linen rushed out from the crowd and threw herself on the cold body on the ground: "Grandma...Grandma, wake up, Mom is dead, I can't live without you, don't leave Ying'er alone!"
There was no need to confirm it again. Just by looking at the girl's face, Madam Ren had already confirmed her identity.
When Zhao Yunxuan found Song Muxue, her face was full of anger, and she asked almost out of control: "Didn't you say that the mother and daughter were dead? Why did they show up?"
Now, because of the appearance of that mother and daughter, she and her mother have become complete outsiders. The most terrifying thing is that her biological grandmother is the instigator of everything. With Madam Ren's strong personality, it is impossible for this matter to be resolved peacefully.
She has always been the only legitimate daughter of the high and mighty Minister of Revenue. Even with Zhao Yunwei, the favored concubine, it is difficult to shake her position, so she has always been proud.
Even though her father was gone and she was no longer the Shangshu's daughter, her pride was deep-rooted. So even though Madam Ren tried her best to secure for her the position of the Sixth Prince's concubine, she actually did not agree with it in her heart. She just believed that she was the only candidate for the Sixth Prince's principal wife.
It was because of this that she had made a fuss and complained, and even threatened Old Madam Ren and Ren Qianlan not to marry. Unexpectedly, Song Muxue found out about this.
After she received an invitation from Song Muxue that day, she learned her mother's true identity from Song Muxue.
"You're lying. My grandmother is the daughter of a wealthy businessman and the wife of the current Minister of Rites. How could she be a village woman? How could she be a concubine who is not allowed to be seen in public?"
She would never believe it!
But facts speak louder than words. Song Muxue actually took her to sneak into the house disguised as a servant to meet her biological grandmother. She also saw with her own eyes how her grandfather still gently cared for the woman who was over fifty years old.
Perhaps it was because she had always lived under the careful care of her grandfather and had never worried about the children in the inner house, the lady in front of her looked much younger than her grandmother in the mansion.
Her so-called grandmother only looks like she is in her forties, and she still has her charm. No wonder her charming appearance can still make her grandfather, who is already that old, dizzy.
In fact, she didn't even need to go forward to confirm it in person. Just by looking at the face of the noble lady which was extremely similar to her mother's, she no longer doubted what Song Muxue said.
But no matter what, this secret must be buried forever, and she must not become the granddaughter of a concubine.
"So what is your purpose in telling me all this and showing me with my own eyes?"
She has not forgotten what the Sixth Prince said when he hugged her. The person the Sixth Prince admires in his heart is Song Muxue!
Song Muxue didn't care about her hostility at all, and even said bluntly to break her worries: "You don't have to worry, I have no intention of the Sixth Prince, otherwise I wouldn't have to wait until today."
That arrogant attitude seemed to imply that even though the Sixth Prince was of noble status and was the candidate for husband that the noble ladies in the capital were vying for, she simply did not take him seriously. Otherwise, how could they have the opportunity to fight for him?
Song Muxue obviously disdained the Sixth Prince's noble status and looked down on these noble ladies who were in love with the Sixth Prince.
But what made Zhao Yunxuan even more angry was that Song Muxue had actually known for a long time that the Sixth Prince was in love with her, but she had been pretending to be ignorant and enjoying the Sixth Prince's admiration and mocking her deep love.
Whenever Zhao Yunxuan thought about how she had treated Song Muxue as a good friend and sister for so many years, but Song Muxue teased her like a fool, she couldn't swallow the anger in her heart.
So she retorted without any hesitation: "Even if you want to marry the Sixth Prince, you can't. The Imperial Concubine doesn't like you at all, otherwise she wouldn't have stopped you from marrying Master Shen. If the Emperor hadn't ordered you to be a concubine, you wouldn't be able to enter the Sixth Prince's Mansion, let alone the Ning'an Marquis' Mansion, in your life."
"you……"
Ignoring Song Muxue's anger, Zhao Yunxuan continued to provoke her: "You are just a lowly girl born of a lowly and shameless wet nurse. What qualifications do you have to be so high and mighty in front of me?"
"So what if my grandmother's identity is not public? The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites is my legitimate grandfather!"
Of course Song Muxue understood what she meant. No matter how bad Zhao Yunxuan was, her identity as the granddaughter of the Left Vice Minister of Rites could not be changed, but her identity as the daughter of her wet nurse could not be changed in any way.
Song Muxue was also holding her breath, but she still forced herself to calm down: "I am here to advise you because we are friends. You should marry the Sixth Prince as a concubine as soon as possible. Otherwise, if your grandmother's child swap is exposed in the future, I am afraid you won't even be able to get the status of a concubine!"
Zhao Yunxuan naturally didn't believe that Song Muxue would help her out of kindness, but she could not deny that what Song Muxue said was true.
So she really stopped making trouble and agreed to marry the Sixth Prince as a concubine.
I heard that Concubine Shen has already decided on her principal wife, and will be getting married next spring. The wedding date for her, the concubine, is not far away either. As long as the engagement is passed, there will be no changes even if her identity is revealed.
Moreover, Song Muxue also promised her that Madam Ren’s biological daughter and the daughter she gave birth to were both dead, so there would be no risk.
Even if something really happened, Song Muxue promised to help her clear it all up.
She didn't know why Song Muxue helped her like this, but she couldn't care less now.
But unexpectedly, the matter of the biological grandmother and the identity of the mother were exposed, and it was the iron-faced and impartial Jingzhao Yin who discovered it.
Even though she was protected by her grandfather, her mother's status in the mansion plummeted, and she was no longer the cousin who was the center of attention in the mansion.
Her marriage with the Sixth Prince has not yet been finalized. If word of this were to spread to the palace, she didn't know whether Concubine Shen would continue to give her the status of a concubine.
In desperation, she could only come to Song Muxue for help.
In fact, the development of the matter was beyond Song Muxue's expectations.
In fact, many of her memories after rebirth were incomplete, and some fragments were slowly recovered later. For example, Minister Ren had been keeping a mistress, and the fact that he and the mistress had teamed up to switch babies was only recalled not long ago.
But in her memory, the Ren family affair was not exposed until two years later, and Mrs. Ren’s biological daughter and granddaughter were also dead.
