The adopted daughter returns with a new face

"I am guilty. Ziyu is the daughter of King Nan'an. I was stolen to extend Zihan's life. I am guilty. Ziyu is the daughter of King Nan'an. I was stolen to extend Zihan's life." Mu Rongwan kept repeating this sentence, looking ahead with lifeless eyes.

Li Linlang looked at her daughter-in-law and asked, "Is she possessed by evil spirits?"

"Mother, we can't let people know that Ziyu is not the daughter of the Liang family. It will be troublesome if Princess Nan'an finds out. When they entered the capital, people in the capital saw the Crown Princess and said that Ziyu looked very similar to the Crown Princess, which made them suspicious." Liang Boshan was worried that if this matter was exposed, he and his wife would be finished.

"Everyone in the mansion knows about her making such a fuss. Do you think you can still keep it a secret?" Li Linlang questioned her son.

"Grandma, right now we can only get rid of those who know about this matter in the mansion. Otherwise, if this matter gets out, the Lan family will find out and cause trouble." Liang Zichu suggested, otherwise the consequences faced by his parents would be very serious.

"Lock the man up first and don't take human lives anymore." Li Linlang didn't want any more killing orders at home.

Liang Zichu nodded and went down to deal with it quickly. Lin Xi had just died a few days ago when her sister was poisoned and her mother suddenly went crazy. Could there be any connection between them? Liang Zichu thought about calling Xiao Hua to imprison the insider in the dungeon, which caused the maids and servants to panic and scream.

Feng Lei and two guards rode their horses outside the city and dug up Lin Xi's grave. They opened the coffin and saw that it was empty. The three of them stared at the grave in a daze. They stomped their feet in anger, filled the grave again, and rode back. When they came back, they told their master what had happened.

"It seems that Lin Xi entered the palace and the prince's mansion for a purpose. She is faking her death. Go and find her for me quickly. You must dig deep into the ground to find her." Mu Rongchen gave the order angrily, and Feng Lei took the order and left.

"Your Highness, Madam Lin and the Second Miss might be accomplices. They are hiding in the dark. It may not be easy for us to find them." Yang Feng did not want to discourage his master.

"You bastard women, you'll be dead if I catch you." Mu Rongchen cursed angrily. He was actually played around by two women. If this got out, he would be so embarrassed.

"Your Highness, it's been quiet for just a short while but now it's making trouble again. If the second young lady is really not dead, the Liang Mansion will be in a lot of trouble. Madam Lin's fake death is probably also due to her contribution." Yang Feng said.

"This damn woman dares to play with me. She is simply courting death. Go, check it out for me." Mu Rongchen almost got so angry that he cursed at Yang Feng, so Yang Feng had no choice but to go down and check it out.

That night, a dark shadow fell in front of the dungeon of the Liang Mansion, decisively opened the dungeon door and entered the prison, startling the maids and servants who were locked up inside and huddled together for warmth in fear.

"Don't make a sound if you want to live." The low voice of the person coming sounded, and the maids and servants were so scared that they nodded repeatedly and looked at the masked man in black in front of them.

"Do you know why you were locked up? Because the Liang family stole the youngest daughter of the King of Nan'an and hid her to extend Liang Zihan's fate. They took away the princess' fate.

After Liang Zihan returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he killed the princess's maid in Guandao Lin of Baili County, disfigured the princess, and threw her off a cliff. All of this was instructed by Liang Boshan and his wife.

I will rescue you, but you'd better spread the news to save your lives, otherwise the Liang family will kill you just like they did in Dingyu County, killing a servant who knew about the incident. In this way, you can keep this secret strictly. "The man told everyone the whole story, and everyone nodded in fear after hearing it, agreeing to the masked man in black's request.

“Follow me closely and don’t make any sound, or I won’t be able to save you.” The man in black said as he took out a wire and slowly opened the lock, signaling everyone to keep quiet and follow him to slowly leave the dungeon, hiding here and there all the way, avoiding the patrolling guards of the Liang Mansion and coming to the back door, opening it and leaving the Liang Mansion.

The next day, when Xiao Hua delivered food to the servants in the dungeon, he found that everyone was gone. He was so shocked that he dropped a basin of steamed buns and ran to report to the old lady.

"Go and check quickly, how come all these people disappeared overnight?" Li Linlang was frightened and ordered hurriedly. Xiao Hua did not dare to delay and turned around and ran out.

Rumors spread like the wind on Chang'an Street, saying that Liang Ziyu, the young girl from the Liang Mansion, was not the daughter of the Liang family, but was stolen by the Liang family in Dingyu County. This girl was none other than Lan Rufeng, the lost little daughter of the Nan'an Palace.

Because Liang Zi Han was born with a weak body, the doctor asserted that she would not live past the age of eight. Taoist Qingyun from Yuqing Temple showed the Liang couple a clear way out: as long as they found someone who was born on the same day, month and year as Liang Zi Han to replace her fate, she would be able to survive.

So the Liang family hid the little princess secretly, replaced her fate with Liang Lehan, and changed her date of birth to one year older. They shamelessly declared to the public that the princess was their biological daughter, and in Dingyu County, they killed a servant who knew about the situation in the name of plague.

Madam Liang went crazy yesterday, and she shouted that she was guilty to everyone she met. Liang Ziyu was the daughter of the Prince of Nan'an, and she was stolen to exchange for Liang Zihan's life. Fearing that the matter would be exposed, Duke Liang and his son locked up the servants who knew about it in the dungeon, intending to kill them to silence them.

When Chen Er, a servant of the Lan residence, and Hong Dou, a maid who were out shopping, heard what had happened, they ran back to the residence without even buying any food, and breathlessly told the princess what they had heard.

When Lin Ruyan heard what Chen Er and Hong Dou said, she was so shocked that she asked Zhong Lian and Zhong Yan to go out and find out. As soon as Zhong Yan and Zhong Lian went out of the house and onto the street, they heard people talking about the princess. They caught a woman and asked about the situation.

"Sir, it's true. Because the servants and maids of the Liang Mansion heard Madam Liang's crazy shouting, they were locked up in the dungeon by the Duke of Liang and his son. They wanted to kill them to silence them. Fortunately, a kind-hearted person rescued them." After the woman finished speaking, she couldn't help but curse: "How cruel."

Zhong Yan and Zhong Lian turned around and ran back. When the princess got lost, Liang Boshan was stationed in Dingyu County. This matter was definitely not simple, and they had to go back and tell the princess.

On the way back home from court, the Liang family father and son suddenly heard a rumor and were frightened and hurried back home. When they came back, they heard Xiao Hua talking about the servants who were imprisoned in the dungeon. They were all horrified when they saw it.

When Lan Ruyun returned home and heard the news, she rode her horse and took her mother straight to the Liang Mansion to seek an explanation. Zhong Yan, Zhong Lian, and Jin Shu also followed them to the Liang Mansion.

Mu Rongchen naturally also heard the news. It was really one crisis after another. He hadn't found any clues to the previous incident yet, and now another one came up. He decisively headed straight to Liang Mansion.

Lan Rufeng and Yu Qianqian were sitting in Mingyue Pavilion, watching Lin Ruyan and Mu Rongchen running towards Liang Mansion one after another. They looked at each other, smiled, and stood up to follow them to watch the show.

Liang Boshan of the Liang Mansion saw that Lin Ruyan and her son wanted to see his wife as soon as they arrived, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He explained: "Princess Nan'an, the rumors are not to be believed. My wife caught a cold a few days ago and is recuperating in bed."

"Since Madam Liang is inconvenient, I will go and see her in person! I believe that rumors would not arise without reason. I remember that Duke Liang was stationed in Dingyu County back then. If you don't give me a reasonable explanation for this matter, I can only ask the emperor to make the decision." Lin Ruyan didn't give him any face.

"Princess Nan'an, please calm down. There are still many suspicious points in this matter. We need to find out who is slandering the Liang family." Mu Rongchen came in and hurried to stop Lin Ruyan.

"I believe that there is no smoke without fire. Jinshu, take the prince's token and enter the palace immediately to ask Doctor Chu to come and see Madam Liang and Concubine Liang." Lin Ruyan spoke decisively to Jinshu.

"Yes, Princess." Jin Shu agreed and turned around to take the token handed over by her master, but was blocked by Mu Rongchen.

"What does Prince Rong mean by this?" Lan Ruyun looked at Mu Rongchen and asked, motioning Jinshu to go quickly.

"Ruyun, this matter has arisen suddenly and we don't know whether it is true or not. Can you wait for me to find out everything? I will give you an explanation whether it is true or not." Mu Rongchen knew that he could not stop Jinshu. He was already suspicious and was worried that everything was true.
