When Queen Mother Pei and Princess Yu heard this, they were extremely disgusted with the second prince-in-law!
After eating melon until this point, Chu Siqing couldn't help but sigh.
[There are thousands of scumbags in this world. This second prince-in-law wants the power of the princess's house, but he is also unwilling to let his sweetheart be wronged. He is really too greedy. He just pitied my cousin! 】
Princess Yu saw that the faces of Queen Mother Pei and Princess Duan Min were not very good, and thinking that their grandparents might have something to say next, she left with Chu Siqing on an excuse.
After the two left, Empress Dowager Pei and Princess Duan Min were left in Cining Palace.
Empress Dowager Pei pointedly said: "Duan Min, it's important to get the child back first, don't worry about other things."
Princess Duan Min gritted her teeth: "Royal Grandmother, Duan Min knows that when the child comes back, I will have to pay the price for these two bitches!"
Queen Mother Pei said with satisfaction: "As long as you know it in your heart, the Ai family is afraid that you will be manipulated by the consort's family just like the eldest princess."
The eldest princess is a well-known love brain. She is obviously a noble royal princess, but she is made things difficult for her mother-in-law like an ordinary daughter-in-law.
The key is that the eldest princess didn't feel anything was wrong yet, which made Queen Mother Pei speechless.
Princess Duan Min thought of her eldest sister's situation, her eyes became more and more resentful, and she said firmly: "Grandma, don't worry, how can I, a royal noblewoman, allow my consort to be so arrogant?!"
Upon seeing this, Queen Mother Pei asked Princess Duanmin to return home.
As soon as Princess Duanmin returned to the princess mansion, she summoned the concubine and asked the wet nurse to bring the child with her.
This concubine's surname is Ye Minling. She has a weak-willed attitude, a gentle personality and understands the rules. She usually does not fight or grab, so Princess Duanmin never paid attention to her in the past.
Not long after, Mrs. Ye came with the wet nurse holding the child.
Mrs. Ye bowed Yingying and said respectfully: "Meet the princess."
The wet nurse followed her, holding the baby in her arms and bowing.
Princess Duan Min looked eagerly at the child in the wet nurse's arms. That was her biological daughter!
She couldn't wait to say: "Bring the child over and let me take a look."
A trace of surprise flashed in Ye's eyes.
The princess had never thought about taking care of children before, so why was she interested now? Did she discover something...
No, no... no, they did it very carefully, and the princess always liked the child, so it didn't seem like she noticed anything unusual.
Ye comforted herself like this and quickly calmed down.
As soon as the wet nurse brought the baby over, Princess Duan Min carefully held her in her arms.
The baby's face was sallow and his energy was not very good. He was not as rosy and lively as a baby should be.
Princess Duan Min felt it was very light as soon as she took it. When she saw the child's pitiful little face, she felt even more heartbroken!
She and Mrs. Ye gave birth to each other on both sides, but the child was so much lighter. I guess she was being treated harshly!
Other people's sons were raised fat and white by her, but her own daughter has suffered so much!
Princess Duan Min was heartbroken and said angrily: "Why is the child so thin and small? How do you take care of it?!"
The wet nurse immediately knelt down and said in panic: "Princess, forgive me, I have tried my best to feed the child, but this child was born weak..."
Mrs. Ye also knelt down and cried: "Yes, Your Highness, I gave birth to the child, how could I not take care of it!"
Princess Duan Min heard this, her eyes dim and unclear.
Fortunately, the child was already in her hands, so she didn't have to worry about what to do next.
Princess Duan Min looked at her and suddenly asked: "Ms. Ye, when did you come to the capital?"
Ye was panicked for a moment, but still calmly said: "Back to the princess, I came to the capital a year ago."
Princess Duan Min was about to ask again when the maid from outside came in and said to her: "Princess, the consort is here."
The second consort Zheng Zhiyi hurriedly opened the curtain and came in. He saw Ye kneeling on the ground, holding a handkerchief and wiping her tears.
Zheng Zhiyi suddenly felt extremely distressed, but he could only bear it and said: "Princess, what's going on?"
As soon as Princess Duan Min saw his hurried look, she knew that someone in the mansion had reported to him, and as soon as he heard about it, he decided to make the decision for the Ye family.
It's a shame that she didn't notice in the past that these two people had been in love with each other for a long time, and she was the one who was completely used!
Princess Duan Min held her daughter in her arms and felt chills in her heart.
She was too lazy to say anything more and asked directly in a cold voice: "Consort, let me ask you, was the child I gave birth to a son or a daughter?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
Zheng Zhiyi's heart was beating wildly, and he forced himself to calm down and said: "What did the princess say? Of course you gave birth to a son."
Princess Duan Min touched the face of the child in her arms and said with unclear meaning: "Why do I feel that this is my child?"
Mrs. Ye panicked and cried quickly: "Princess, this is my slave's daughter!"
Zheng Zhiyi tried his best to suppress his panic and said softly: "Princess, you are stunned. This is Ye's daughter. If you really like your daughter, let's have another child..."
Seeing the two people's reactions, Princess Duan Min sneered and made it clear: "Zheng Zhiyi, you and Ye secretly exchanged my children with the intention of confusing the royal bloodline. What crime should you be guilty of?"
Zheng Zhiyi raised his head suddenly and retorted loudly: "How could the princess listen to the villain's slander and misunderstand me and Ye?"
Mrs. Ye also swore to heaven: "I will never have a child in exchange for the princess! Someone must be talking nonsense!"
Princess Duan Min couldn't help but mock: "Mr. Ye, why did you swear not to tell the consequences?"
She said maliciously: "How about you swear to God right now that if you change the child, your biological child will die a miserable death?"
Mr. Ye suddenly felt exhausted and hesitated to speak.
Zheng Zhiyi said disappointedly: "Princess, how could you say such vicious words?"
Princess Duan Min chuckled softly: "Am I evil? If you really don't have any exchanges, what are you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
She gently uncovered the swaddling clothes, pointed to the red mole on the child's arm and said, "This child is just like me and is my biological daughter!"
Zheng Zhiyi was completely panicked and blurted out: "It's just a coincidence, the princess must not believe it!"
He regretted it now.
If he had known this would happen, he should have sent the child far away, or it would have been better to just strangle him to death! It won’t cause the current trouble!
Princess Duan Min said coldly: "Whether it is a coincidence or not, let the Ministry of Punishment decide!"
After that, she ordered: "Come here, take Zheng Zhiyi and Ye, as well as all the maids and women who served when Ye and I gave birth, and take them all to the Criminal Department for interrogation!"
Hearing this, Zheng Zhiyi's face suddenly lost all color, and he said angrily: "Princess, you can't do anything nonsense, there is no evidence, how can you go to the Criminal Department..."
Ye was also panicked and defended: "Princess, I don't want it. This slave is unjust..."
However, the guards at the Princess Mansion only obeyed Princess Duan Min's orders and took everyone away forcibly, regardless of their struggles.
