The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 296 Design (4)

A few days later, Zhang Qian returned home.

A middle-aged woman also came back with her.

The woman was plain-looking and didn’t seem like someone who would have any connections with the Marquis’s Mansion.

The maid in the mansion was curious and secretly inquired about this man's background. Later, she got the truth out of Zhang Qian.

It turns out that this woman's name is Yunniang, and she is an expert at making incense.

Because the eldest daughter was obsessed with making incense, the lady specially asked Zhang Qian to go to Qingping County to find someone.

"Madam is so kind to Miss."

Qiuyue brought a maid to deliver daily necessities to Yunniang. On the way back, the maid was inspired.

"That's right. After all, the eldest lady is my biological daughter." Qiuyue said mysteriously when she saw that there was no one around.

"Ah? Sister Qiuyue, what do you mean?

Isn't the second young lady Madam's biological daughter? I remember when the eldest young lady was found, Madam said they were twins. "The little maid looked surprised.

"That's just a superficial statement."

Qiuyue took the little maid to a corner, looked around, and then said, "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone. If the lady hears, we will be kicked out of the house!"

The little maid raised her hand and promised: "Don't worry, Sister Qiuyue, I won't tell anyone!"

Qiuyue lowered her voice and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Just look at it yourself. Is there any similarity between the eldest lady's appearance and the second lady's appearance?"

The little maid thought for a moment and said, "The eldest lady looks like the Madam, and the second lady looks a little like the Master. I heard that some twins don't look alike."

Qiuyue: “That’s true.

However, this is definitely not the case for the eldest and second daughters in our family.

They don't look alike, that's because they are not twins at all.

Let me tell you, the last time I went to Yuntong County with my wife, a lot of things happened. It turns out that our second young lady is the child of a local farmer's family.

I took the wrong child back then, so I took her back.

The eldest daughter of the lady was left in Yuntong County for more than ten years and suffered for more than ten years.

Madam was so heartbroken after she knew the truth!"

"What? The second young lady is actually..." The little maid covered her mouth, not daring to say those words.

Qiuyue nodded, "Yes! Madam is kind-hearted. Although the child was replaced by someone else, the mother-daughter relationship of more than ten years cannot be severed.

That’s why we told everyone they were twins.”

"Wow, then the Second Young Miss must also know her own life experience?" asked the little maid.

"I understand." Qiuyue said.

“It’s just that I don’t think she appreciates it, and I always feel that the lady treats her badly.

Even this time, she is not very happy about marrying the third prince! Madam really has nothing to say about the second young lady. "

"Second Miss, aren't you very happy? Besides, marrying a prince is something many people dream of. How could Second Miss not be willing?" The little maidservant was puzzled.

Qiuyue sighed softly, "To us, the Third Prince is like the moon in the sky, just looking at him is like a dream. But the Second Miss is a Marquis's lady after all, and she is well-informed.

I heard that these young ladies don't seem to care about family background, but pay more attention to the feelings of the two people.

For childhood sweethearts, the most important thing is to have mutual affection.

In my opinion, their marriage should be held earlier. If it is delayed any longer, I am afraid something will happen between the second young lady and that guy."

"what?"

The little maidservant seemed to have heard some shocking secret and was so frightened that she couldn't close her mouth.

"Sister Qiu, Sister Qiuyue, the one you are talking about can't be the one living in the backyard..."

"Shh!" Qiuyue raised her index finger to stop the little maid from continuing.

"You must keep this matter to yourself and never tell anyone else. Remember!"

"I remember!" The little maid nodded repeatedly.

The two men hurriedly left the corner and returned to work in the yard.

No one noticed that, just across the wall from where they had just stood, a man was standing there with his arms crossed, having heard everything that was said.

He sorted out the information he had just received in his mind, and felt that this news was somewhat important. While no one was paying attention, he took out a small notebook and wrote down all the information in his mind, waiting to report it to the third prince next time.

And the third prince has been in a bad mood recently.

He hasn't encountered such a difficult situation for a long time.

First, Prince Rui suddenly intervened and put Lu Changqing on the throne.

As a result, not only did Ning Yuer and her son's plan to monopolize the Marquis' Mansion fail, but Lord Song from the Ministry of Justice was also implicated.

Fortunately, the man named Song had some brains and took charge of all the things and got him out in time.

He was also thinking that he must not let the emperor know that he was involved in this matter, but then news spread from the Lu Mansion that Lu Zhiyi was pregnant.

His father did not even ask for his opinion and directly issued an order to grant the marriage, which made him wonder if the Lu family had some unspeakable secret.

Now that the Lu family has the support of the Rui Palace, everything they do must be well thought out.

Lu Zhiyi's purpose is even more confusing.

If this woman was really on the same page with him, she would never involve herself at this time.

So, what exactly do they want to do?

The third prince boasted that he had always been the one in control and had never been manipulated by others.

This time is certainly no exception.

So he immediately sent someone to find an opportunity to sneak into Lu's mansion and find out the news there first.

However, the news sent back by his subordinates was disappointing.

There didn't seem to be any special action from Leng Qingyu's side.

Usually, the visitors to the Lu Mansion were all women who were on good terms with Leng Qingyu.

The only thing that can be considered special is that the eldest daughter of the Lu family goes out early and comes back late every day to work in the Prince Rui's Palace.

Could it be that all this was arranged by King Rui?

The third prince had even deeper doubts.

Just at this moment, he received news from the spy.

The message said:

“Ning Yuer has reconciled her relationship with Leng Qingyu.

Ning Yuer agreed to come forward to clarify that she and Lu Tingen were just cousins, and Lu Changning was not Lu Tingen's son.

In addition, people in the mansion said that Lu Zhiyi was not the biological daughter of the Lu family, and that Lu Zhiyi had a close relationship with Ning Yuer.

This complicated relationship made the third prince more and more annoyed.

Of course he knew about the relationship between Lu Tingen and Ning Yuer, but he now really suspected that Lu Zhiyi was not Lu Tingen's daughter.

Maybe Lu Tingen wanted to use this daughter to get close to me from the beginning?

Now that Lu Tingen is dead, his relationship with Lu Zhiyi has become his only bond with the Lu family.

But Leng Qingyu is not a fool. She clearly knows this relationship, but she is still so eager to marry Lu Zhiyi to herself.

He even sought the help of King Rui to advance the marriage.

What is it for?

The third prince was puzzled.

Fortunately, Leng Qingyu didn't make him distressed for too long.

The Lu family soon took new actions.
