After my love-brained mother read my mind, I kicked out my scumbag father and divorced him
Chapter 87: The Substitution Confirmed
Emperor Ming sneered.
He was right. The brown monkey-like girl was not Qianqian from his family.
How can Qianqian be so ugly?
However, he had never encountered such a ridiculous thing as a grandmother taking the wrong child or deliberately switching her granddaughter, so he hesitated at first, suspecting that there was something wrong with his memory.
Until he could no longer hear the voice of the child in his arms.
This is just an ordinary child, how could she be Qianqian who can speak her mind and tell fortunes?
But he had to figure out whether the old woman had done it by accident or had really picked up the wrong baby.
If she did it accidentally, he could still forgive her once more, but if she did it on purpose... haha, even if she was Qianqian's biological grandmother, he would not give her face.
Emperor Ming walked a few steps to Madam Wen.
"Niece's daughter?"
"Your eyesight is blurry?"
"Haha, Wen, that's not what you said just now. You said it with certainty at the time, saying that it's impossible for you to mistake your own granddaughter. How come you say you made a mistake after being beaten with a stick a few times?"
Beads of sweat appeared on Old Lady Wen's forehead.
She summoned up all her wisdom and calmness in her life and carefully recalled what Wen Zehai had told her about how to explain it if the truth came to light.
She concentrated and spoke, "Your Majesty, I was afraid that the sun would burn Qianqian after all the way here, so I wrapped the child's face in swaddling clothes as soon as I got off the carriage."
"I don't think I would make such a stupid mistake as picking up the wrong child, so I never doubted that the baby in the cradle was not Qianqian!"
"Think about it, how dare I hold a fake one to deceive you? I am not a cat, and I only have one life!"
"If this is discovered, I won't be able to save my life."
"Besides, what good would it do for me to bring someone else's child to see His Majesty? Qianqian is my granddaughter. I am so happy that she can see His Majesty in person. How could I let someone else's child receive this honor?"
"Your Majesty, please look carefully. This was an unintentional mistake on my part!"
Emperor Ming frowned when he heard this.
It seems to be the same truth.
Who would allow another family's child to come and see the emperor in person?
This Wen family is Wen Qianqian's biological grandmother. She should be happy that her granddaughter has such an honor.
She had no motive to bring someone else's child to meet him.
As for what He Si said, that the Wen family might be dissatisfied with Qianqian, he couldn't believe it completely.
He Si is not like Zhao Bao, who has followed him since childhood and always puts him first in everything. He Si is more concerned about himself.
Perhaps He Si was afraid that he would get punished if he waited too long, so he spoke ill of the old woman in front of him.
Thinking of this, Emperor Ming's dark brows slowly relaxed.
"Forget it! Considering that you are Qianqian's grandmother and it was an unintentional mistake, let's forget about it!"
Old Madam Wen let out a long sigh.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life. I will never make such a mistake again."
Although the plan failed, at least she saved her life.
Emperor Ming said, "Forget it, no need to say anything more, bring Qianqian to me immediately. I miss her!"
Madam Wen's expression was stiff.
This meant she had to go through that again.
It was already far to the palace gate, and she was beaten with several boards. Her stomach and back hurt badly, and she was not sure if she could hold on until then.
If she had known the plan would fail, she would have simply brought Wen Qianqian here!
Old Madam Wen regretted her decision to a great extent at this moment, but she had no choice but to express her gratitude.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will carry Qianqian into the palace right away. My niece should have realized that the wrong child was taken away, and she should be waiting in the carriage outside the palace."
Emperor Ming nodded and looked at Zhao Bao, "Zhao Bao, you go with me this time!"
"Yes, I obey your command. Madam Wen, please come in!"
Zhao Bao was still kind-hearted and helped Madam Wen out of the palace.
However, when the two arrived at the palace gate, they found that there was no carriage outside the palace gate.
No matter how patient Zhao Bao was, his face darkened at this moment.
"Madam Wen, didn't you say that the fourth young lady was in the carriage outside the palace? Where is the carriage? You are committing the crime of deceiving the emperor! You have ten heads..."
Old Madam Wen was almost frightened to the point of fainting.
"No, no, Eunuch Zhao, I really didn't lie to you, and I dare not lie to Your Majesty. The carriage was indeed at the palace gate just now..."
Zhao Bao was silent for a moment and asked the guards at the palace gate.
Upon asking, we found out that the carriage left in a hurry not long after the old lady entered the palace.
When Old Madam Wen heard this, she immediately felt resentful towards Han.
Is this Han trying to kill her? !
Fortunately, the guard saw it, otherwise she would never be able to wash herself clean.
He almost killed her. He is more likely to cause trouble than to help her!
The only right thing Han did was to give birth to Miaoxue.
"Eunuch Zhao..." Old Madam Wen said flatteringly, "They should be back soon. Please wait with me for a while."
Zhao Bao sighed.
"Then just wait!"
The guards didn't know where the coachman had gone. What else could they do except wait?
Fortunately, the two men didn't have to wait long before the carriage returned.
Old Madam Wen hurried forward and started scolding the coachman.
"You little dog slave, didn't I tell you to wait for me at the door and not go anywhere? Where are you going with your carriage? Are you trying to kill me?"
The groom was startled and stammered, "No, old lady, it's Madam Han..."
"That's enough! I don't want to hear it! This Han is really something, he can't tell the priorities!"
Madam Wen didn't have the patience to listen to the groom's words, and shouted inside: "Han, hurry up and bring Qianqian out!"
"Han, are you in there? Why don't you say anything?!"
"Hurry up and bring Qianqian out!"
Han just saved his life in the clinic.
The doctor said that if she had gone a little later, she would have died.
At this moment she was dying and had no strength left in her body. Before she could finish her words, she heard the old lady's scolding voice, and she suddenly felt dissatisfied.
Why did her mother treat her like this?
She was not like this when she was in the country!
Han wanted to complain, but when she opened the curtain, she saw that the old lady's face was extremely ugly, and she was shocked.
"Mom...what's wrong?"
"What mother? Don't call me the wrong mother. I am not your mother!"
Madam Wen was afraid that Zhao Bao would notice something, so she started to talk nonsense.
Han was scolded severely and felt both wronged and angry.
It was only after Zhao Bao urged her from behind that Old Madam Wen stopped cursing. She got on the carriage herself and returned Wen Miaoxue to the Wen family. Then she hurriedly got off the carriage carrying Wen Qianqian.
Before Han had the chance to ask, Madam Wen's figure had disappeared at the palace gate.
For a moment, Han's dissatisfaction became more and more intense.
This created a rift between the two of them.
