I just want to rob you of your luck

Nanny Fang knew that the Madam was very excited and probably couldn't speak clearly.

He had no choice but to speak up: "You are the legitimate daughter of our Zhenguogong Mansion, this is your biological mother, Yue, your father is Zhenguogong He Zhongliang, and your original name is He Wanqing.

You were the only girl born in the Zhenguo Mansion. The Duke was very happy at the time and specially made this pair of jade plaques and gave them to his wife and you.

On the top is written "peace" and on the other is written "joy", and on the back is written "wan" and "qing", which together form your name, young lady."

Lin Jiuer took out the jade token and put it together with Yue's jade token. As expected, they fit together perfectly. One on the front had the word "peace" and the other on the back had the word "happiness". Turning over, the back of Yue's jade token had the word "Wan" and the back of hers had the word "Qing".

I didn't expect the original owner had such a remarkable background. Apart from the royal family, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is already considered a top noble family in Kyoto.

That family is a century-old family with deep roots and extensive influence. Even the emperor would be wary of them.

Even the Dingyuan Marquisate, which was deeply favored by the emperor, could not compare to it.

Lin Jiuer had mixed feelings, but then she thought that this was a good thing. Since she was born into a noble family, wouldn't she be more confident in dealing with the Zhou family?

Yue looked at Lin Jiuer and liked her more and more. This was the daughter she had been thinking about for so many years. How wonderful!

Upon closer inspection, her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to those of the Duke of Zhenguo, but the lower half of her face looks like herself.

Seeing that Lin Jiuer was in a daze and seemed unable to accept this fact, she couldn't help asking, "Child, how have you been all these years? Tell me quickly. You look so dressed like this. Are you married? Who are you marrying? How do your in-laws treat you?"

The thought that she didn't even participate in her daughter's marriage made me feel so heartbroken that I couldn't breathe.

Lin Jiuer had no choice but to tell the story of how she was sold into the palace and how she now became Marquis Dingyuan's concubine.

She didn't say much about how she was bullied by Zhou's mother and son. Seeing that Yue was already very sad, she really didn't want to make her sad any more.

But because of her identity, Yue and Nanny Fang still hugged each other and cried.

As the only legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, it would not be an exaggeration for her to marry the prince and become his principal wife. However, she has been sold as a slave since she was a child and even became a concubine. As his biological mother, how can she not be sad and blame herself?

Lin Jiuer advised helplessly: "The Marquis treats me very well now, Madam, don't be sad, but I don't know what happened back then? Why did I become a peasant girl?"

There was hatred in Nanny Fang's eyes: "Back then, the concubine Yu in the mansion was pregnant. She urged Madam to take you to the temple to pray for the child. Madam agreed, but before she left, she suddenly had stomach discomfort and was bedridden.

The prince, who was only ten years old at the time, volunteered to take his sister to pray for blessings on behalf of his mother. The Duke was worried, so he went with them. But when they came back, they said that you were lost in the temple, and that it was the prince who accidentally got you lost.

Later, Yu gave birth to a daughter, and everyone in the Duke's Mansion gave the love that should have been given to the young lady to the illegitimate daughter, and the prince felt guilty and loved her like his own sister. "

"So, Madam, you suspect that Yu is the mastermind behind this?"

Nanny Fang nodded and said, "I have always suspected this. After you got lost, Madam was too worried and fell seriously ill. Yu took the opportunity to take over the housekeeping power. However, Madam and the Duke investigated secretly but did not find any clues. They only said that you got lost because of the chaos at that time."

Lin Jiuer thought that Yu was most likely the person behind the scenes, and that the ones who benefited the most from this incident in the end were Yu and her daughter.

It seems that there are many complicated issues in the Duke's Mansion. Lin Jiuer is confused. She is just a person who is on a mission. How can she have the time to take care of the things in the Duke's Mansion?

Moreover, it was just the first time she and Yue met, and they didn't have any feelings for each other, but she did feel sympathy for her in her heart.

Now that my identity has been confirmed, I will inevitably have to deal with people from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in the future. It seems I have to find time to help them.

"I know a lady who used to be from the same hometown as my adoptive parents. Maybe she knows something. Why don't you go with me to find her and ask about the situation?"

Aunt Fang quickly replied, "That's great."

Yue's heart and eyes were filled with Lin Jiuer, but hearing her call her Madam made her feel sad. She was very happy that her daughter was returned, but she was also sad that her daughter was so estranged from her.

But she knew that relationships had to be cultivated slowly, and if she could find her daughter, she would no longer worry about anything else.

Lin Jiuer looked at Yue and said, "I am safe and sound now. Madam, you should cheer up. We should work together to find the mastermind behind the harm. I also guess that the bad guy must still be in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. If Madam can't stand up and find the bad guy, it will be very dangerous in the future."

Nanny Fang agreed and said, "Miss, you are absolutely right. Madam, you can't live in such a muddleheaded way any longer. Now, for the sake of your children, you must catch that evil person. How can you let her continue to get away with it!"

Lin Jiuer brought the Yue family's master and servants to Wu Gang's mother's residence, which was a civilian area with relatively low and dilapidated houses.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a middle-aged woman sitting under the awning doing embroidery.

"Aunt, I came to see you."

The woman was delighted when she heard that, and she stood up quickly when she saw Lin Jiuer: "Jiuer is here? Come and sit down. I made two pairs of insoles for you, but I haven't had the chance to send them to you yet. Last time, it was thanks to the money you borrowed that I saved my life."

She saw the Yue family members following behind her and asked curiously, "Jiu'er, who are these people?"

Lin Jiuer smiled faintly. This was a long story, so she didn't plan to say it for now: "This is a lady I know. She came with me. Auntie, please don't be busy. I want to ask you something this time. I'll leave in a moment."

The woman quickly and warmly invited the Yue family members to sit on the small wooden stools they made in the yard.

She held Lin Jiuer's hand with a loving look on her face: "Jiuer, what do you want to ask? Just say it."

"Aunt, do you know where my parents picked me up from? Or where they bought me from?"

The woman paused and sighed, "You really know that our two families were neighbors, and your mother and I have a very good relationship.

Later one day, your father came back with a two-year-old girl and said he picked her up on the roadside. Your mother was in poor health and had not given birth after marriage, so she treated you as her own daughter.

Later, our hometown was hit by a flood, and the two families fled to Kyoto together. At that time, everyone was penniless, and many families sold their children just to survive. "

When the woman talked about the past, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Lin Jiuer could imagine how pitiful these disaster victims were at that time. If they had any hope of survival, they would not have fallen to the point of selling their children.

"Your father and my husband secretly sold our child to a human trafficker without telling us. When your mother and I found out after they came back, we both fell seriously ill. Later, your mother died.

I was also in poor health, and my husband died of illness a few years later. Later, Wu Gang accidentally encountered me when he drove out in his carriage, and he recognized me. "

After hearing this, Lin Jiuer also understood the general situation. Since her adoptive mother was dead, what about her adoptive father?

"Aunt, do you know where my father is now?"

"I saw him once on West Street. He seems to be doing well now. I wanted to tell him about your situation, but he disappeared before I could start a conversation."

Nanny Fang couldn't help asking, "Madam, do you know where he disappeared on West Street?"

Now everyone can hear that Lin Jiuer’s adoptive father is a key figure.

The lady thought for a while, her eyes lit up: "Yes, it seems to be in front of Baiweixuan Restaurant on West Street."

Nanny Fang's face darkened and she looked at Yue. The Baiweixuan Restaurant was exactly the dowry property of Yu.
