Chapter 124 Real and Fake Gold
Chapter 124 Real and Fake Gold
In three days Bai Yueli will marry into Prince Cheng's Mansion. During this period everyone in the Ningguo Mansion is busy with this. After all, this is the marriage of the only legitimate daughter of the Ningguo Mansion, and the whole family attaches great importance to it.
Bai Yueli has been under house arrest in the middle school during this period and the rules prohibit her from going anywhere. She feels very bad when she thinks about how much cuckolding that lecherous King Cheng has done to her.
Fortunately, the prince secretly sent a message to her, asking her to wait and marry into the Cheng Palace first. She could only be patient and pretend to be content to wait for marriage.
Today, Mrs. Wu went to the Sandalwood Temple to burn incense and pray, and also wanted to ask for a talisman for Bai Yueli.
Bai Yueli was bored in her room because she couldn't leave the house, so Nanny Gui went straight into her room and sent all the maids away before coming in.
She must confront Bai Yueli before she gets married and get hold of evidence of her identity. Plus with their blood ties, she has no worries that Bai Yueli will not help them.
Bai Yueli was a little surprised to see Aunt Gui: "Aunt Gui, why are you here? Why didn't you go to burn incense with mother today?"
Nanny Gui had always loved her very much since she was a child, and she also felt close to Nanny Gui. In addition, Nanny Gui was her mother's wet nurse, so she was always polite to Nanny Gui.
Nanny Gui smiled warmly but the words she said made Bai Yueli's expression suddenly change.
"This old servant specifically reminded Madam to burn incense so that I can tell you your true identity today."
Bai Yueli felt something was wrong. What did she mean by her true identity?
"Madame Gui, what are you talking about? Are you talking nonsense so early in the morning?"
Grandma Gui found a chair and sat down, smiling and saying, "Come to think of it, you still want to call me grandma. Don't you realize that you don't look like the Duke and his wife at all?"
Bai Yueli frowned and looked at Aunt Gui. What was wrong with this old woman today? She couldn't help but get a little angry:
"Madame Gui, don't think that I won't punish you just because you are my mother's wet nurse! Who gave you the courage to call yourself my grandmother?"
Nanny Gui stepped forward and grabbed Bai Yueli's shoulders, staring into her eyes sharply.
"Your original name is Zhang Xiaohua, and your nickname is Yaya. You are the eldest daughter of my son Zhang Tiezhu. We tried to swap you with the daughter of the Duke's wife.
You have been the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion for more than ten years, enjoying all the splendor and wealth. Now you are about to marry into the Prince's Mansion. Before you leave, you should also do something for our Zhang family!"
Bai Yueli was stunned by Nanny Gui's words, and then she just couldn't believe it. How could she be born to a lowly servant? This is impossible!
She was the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, of noble status, how could she be born to a servant! This Nanny Gui must have been crazy about money and deliberately made up a lie to blackmail her!
She glared at Aunt Gui and wanted to slap her a few times. How dare this old bitch bully her? She simply didn't know how to live or die!
But Nanny Gui held her raised arm tightly and she couldn't move!
"Asshole, you old slave, you actually bully your master! Are you crazy about money? How dare you blackmail me! Someone come! Someone come!"
She shouted loudly, but the maidservant who had been with her today was nowhere to be found. No one came after she shouted for a long time.
Aunt Gui sneered, "Stop yelling. There are only two of us in your yard now. Do you want to make a big fuss? Fine, I don't care. I wonder what else you can do after losing your status as a young lady!"
After all, Nanny Gui was very cunning and could see through Bai Yueli's thoughts.
Bai Yueli still didn't want to believe it.
"Do you have any evidence for what you said? Can you fabricate my identity based on just a few words from you?"
"Miss, when you were little you did look a lot like the daughter of the Bai family, but when you grew up, you looked a lot like your biological mother, my daughter-in-law. If you don't believe me, I can ask her to come and see you.
Another thing is that you are allergic to milk, and you inherited this from me. You also know that neither the Duke nor his wife are allergic to milk."
Bai Yueli slumped in the chair, thinking back carefully. In fact, she was a little confused before. Her parents and brothers all had good looks, but why was she only considered pretty?
She once lamented that God was unfair. It turned out that she was not their biological daughter?
It is true that she has been allergic to cow's milk since she was a child, but I didn't expect that Aunt Gui was also allergic to cow's milk.
But since the Duke and his wife don’t know about this, why not let it never be exposed!
No matter what, she could never recognize a slave as her grandmother. How could she be worthy of her!
If the person who knows about this disappears, then no one will ever know about it, right?
A sinister murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and then she raised her head and asked in a bad tone: "In this case, what benefits do you want?"
Aunt Gui caught the murderous intent in her eyes and said with a smile: "Ya Ya, do you have murderous intentions towards me? I am your grandmother, and it would be a great rebellion if you kill me.
And if anything happens to me, your identity will be revealed immediately.
Now the real daughter of Duke Ning is also in the imperial capital. Without me to help you conceal your identity, you will be exposed sooner or later."
Bai Yueli was annoyed. This old hag was so cunning that she seemed to have the ability to read minds. She guessed what he had just thought of.
"Don't call me Yaya. Anyway, I won't recognize your family. But I can give you some benefits. Anyway, I'm getting married soon. You can't get in my way."
Seeing that Bai Yueli had given in, Aunt Gui's smile widened: "That's right, don't worry, Grandmother is definitely hoping for the best for you. Now your brother is about to take the exam for a scholar, and he will have to marry and have children in the future, which will cost money, so you should also contribute a little."
Bai Yueli felt sick in her heart. She simply could not accept the fact that this family of lowly servants were her family.
But the more she thought about it, the more she felt that what Aunt Gui said was true.
She didn't dare to say anything, so she could only give them a little benefit and send them away. Anyway, she was going to get married soon and would never see these people again.
"Madam Gui, I can give you a shop and a hundred acres of good farmland as hush money. With these, your family will have enough to live on."
Nanny Gui smiled coldly. She knew Bai Yueli's dowry very well, which included a thousand acres of fertile land, two farms, and ten shops, not to mention tens of thousands of taels of silver and precious jewelry and silks.
How could she just want this?
"Yaya, I think you haven't figured it out. Let me make your identity clear to you. From now on, you and I are in the same boat. Besides, you are indeed the bloodline of our Zhang family.
You should thank me. Otherwise, you might just be a little maid in the Duke's Mansion now.
Do you still think it's okay to give me this? Your parents and brother are all living a hard life, how can you bear it?"
Bai Yueli's scalp tingled when he heard her call her Yaya. That was her real identity, so lowly and humble. If he didn't satisfy them, would they really reveal their identity? Anyway, they were barefoot and not afraid of those wearing shoes.
Finally, Bai Yueli was willing to give three shops, five thousand taels of silver and two hundred acres of good farmland. Only then did Aunt Gui reluctantly agree not to mention her life story anymore.
Suddenly she remembered what Aunt Gui had just said, and asked anxiously, "Aunt Gui, you said that the real daughter of the Duke's Mansion is also in the imperial capital? Have you seen her? Who is she?!"
