The prince consort could only bow and kowtow:

"Princess, what happened? Please tell me the truth! After all, she is your mother-in-law. This is not a good idea."

The eldest princess glanced at Nanny Zhao, who waved her hand and the guards brought the six people up.

The princess threw a teacup in front of Zhang:

"Open your old eyes and take a look. Do you know these people?"

Zhang looked back, screamed, and fell backwards.

The princess was about to ask someone to splash water on her to wake her up when she heard Xu Qingqing muttering:

[Here we go again, here we go again. People at this time will pretend to faint to scare others, right? Use a needle to prick her, prick her between her fingernails like Rong Mama did.]

"Madam Zhao, bring me two small boning knives!"

When Nanny Zhao came back, the princess spoke again:

"I've seen this little trick countless times before I even had my teeth. Push the consort away and pick her nails!"

Before the prince consort who was pushed away could plead for mercy again, Zhang woke up trembling.

"Daughter-in-law! Mother doesn't know..."

The boning knife in Zhao Ma's hand moved closer:

"Princess, I don't know them! They look like peasants. How could we, a family of officials, know them?"

The four old ladies below were anxious:

"You're talking nonsense! It was these two maids who went to see us and promised to give us fifty taels each if the job was done!"

The two maids were about to speak when Zhang glared at them:

"These are just runaway slaves from my family. Their family members made a mistake, and I let them go out of my way, but they turned around and bit me!"

The two maids spoke in a cold voice:

"Madam, you don't have to do this. You threatened us with the lives of our family members and forced us to exchange the child! Afterwards, you sold us as criminal slaves!"

"We've both been living worse than pigs and dogs these past few years, we've got to settle the score!"

Zhang's eyes rolled:

"Nonsense, I don't know anything about this at all. If there is any, it was done by Aunt Zhang!"

Nanny Zhang, who was lying outside dying, didn't know that her cousin and master had made her bear the blame again.

The prince consort understood everything, but he agreed with his mother's refusal to admit her, and he stepped forward hypocritically:

"Princess, what on earth is going on? What's going on between this old woman and the maid?!"

[Ouch! Pretend! Keep pretending, you damn Phoenix man!]

The princess looked at him coldly:

"Madam Zhao, tell the prince consort what happened!"

Aunt Zhao stood up with the boning knife in hand:

"Reply to Prince Consort! The princess was pregnant that year..."

The prince consort immediately put on a sad look:

"Yes! This is the child that the princess and I have been waiting for for many years. The imperial physician said it would be a great blessing to have a son, but..."

Turning to look at the princess:

"I know the princess is sad, and I have specially discussed this with mother and second brother! Let Ze'er be raised by us, so that he will have someone to blame when he is old!"

"My second brother has only had this one son in all these years, but he said that the princess has been very kind to our family, and he is willing to give him to us even if he is the eldest son!"

"I don't know what happened, but Princess, is there any misunderstanding here? As far as I remember, these two maids are indeed runaway slaves from our family!"

"Maybe they were so angry that they teamed up with outsiders to go to the princess's mansion to deceive you. You are so pure and beautiful!"

[You are so innocent and beautiful, bah! Without even asking, your mother is right. You think Xiao Mudan is easy to deceive!]

The princess sneered:

"The Prince Consort is no longer listening!"

"Okay! The princess asked me to listen, so of course I have to listen!"

The two maids talked a lot, and the general meaning was that Zhang asked them to find a midwife so that they could switch the babies.

[You two silly girls! Didn't you think about it? You sent the dead child from outside to the princess' room, and sent the princess' child to the second wife. What about the second wife's original child?]

The eldest princess' eyes darkened:

Yes! Where did my sister-in-law's child go? I remember we gave birth right after each other!

"You two! Where is the baby you delivered?"

The two maids knelt on the ground, trembling. They looked at each other and saw the murderous look in the eldest princess' eyes. They hardened their hearts:

"Princess, this lady never gave birth to a child. Everything inside is fake!"

The eldest princess was completely shaky. She was so touched that her younger sister-in-law, who was still in confinement after childbirth, still took time out to comfort her, and had been so good to her and her son over the years!

Thinking of Ze'er, the eldest princess couldn't help but feel fortunate that she was nice to Ze'er, because he was her own son!

"What? Second sister-in-law, how could you come up with such an idea?"

Seeing that he couldn't deny it, the prince consort quickly gave Zhang a look:

"Mom, you are so confused. The child of my second brother and I is your grandson. How could you let your second brother and his wife instigate you to do such a thing?"

"Although she has been married for a year and has no children, Ze'er was born after the princess carried her for ten months! How can you not consider my feelings! Mother, you are confused!"

Xu Qingqing looked at the little woman who lowered her head and said nothing:

[Alas! There must be something hateful about pitiful people! These two people acted so sincerely, if I didn’t know the truth, I would have become a fool who was easily deceived! ]

The princess, who was a little shaken, had a heart attack and her face turned even darker:

Great! The mother and son are still lying!

"Second sister-in-law, please say something! Why are you doing this?"

"I know you're under a lot of pressure to be childless after getting married, but that's not a reason for you to encourage your mother to switch the baby!"

The little woman knelt on the ground, trembling all over, and said nothing. The eldest princess looked at her second sister-in-law who was so soft-tempered, and really doubted where she got the courage from!

Zhang pushed her hard:

"Daughter-in-law, tell me! You lied to me and said you were pregnant. When the baby was about to be born, you said it was a fake pregnancy and encouraged me to replace the princess's child."

"I didn't agree at the time. It was you who said that as long as it was done well, the princess wouldn't find out, and the child could still have the surname Zhang! And be included in the Zhang family tree."

The eldest princess started the cold war again: What a good plot.

[Oh my, oh my! She was so stupid, she blew herself up! The return of the first generation is here!]

Princess Jiajia felt sorry for her father first, then her mother, and finally her brother. She secretly held Xu Qingqing's hand:

"My mother means that Ze'er is my brother?"

Seeing Xu Qingqing nod, Princess Jiajia's face twisted a little:

"I was originally mad at my mother for liking Ze'er. I felt that he had taken away my parents' love, so I secretly gave him a candy soaked in bitter melon!"

Aunt Cui standing behind her:

My master! The young master is not stupid, bitter! He will vomit by himself!

Everyone present stared at the little woman without saying a word. The little woman, with her head lowered, suddenly laughed foolishly.
