You act stupid and I act crazy, let's be ancestors together

"What? Say it again."

In the evening, a loud roar came from the Zhenbei Palace.

Ting Feng saw the disappointed look on his prince's face and quickly added, "Prince, please don't worry. Although Miss Jiang's mother is not the princess, I have found out that she is the princess's personal maid, Qu Lan."

"Qu Lan? Is she the palace maid who knows Kung Fu?"

Hearing the familiar name, Murong Li's memories of his youth gradually emerged in his mind.

"Yes, it's the one who was married to Beiliang with the princess. I also found out that Jiang Mingze rescued Qu Lan from the river behind Jiangjia Village. About half a year after they got married, a pregnant young woman came to their home. According to the old people in the village, the woman was covered in wounds and her face was disfigured when she came. A few days later, the woman gave birth to a child, and finally..."

As he spoke, Ting Feng looked up at his own prince, and then he continued carefully: "In the end, she died of dystocia, and her body was buried under a peach tree in the back mountain of Jiangjia Village."

My elder sister was kidnapped on the way to her wedding and her whereabouts were unknown. After so many years, Murong Li thought of many possibilities, but when he heard that she was covered in wounds and disfigured, and finally died of dystocia, his heart still ached.

Murong Li closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then slowly said: "Have you verified the identity of that woman?"

"Because too much time has passed, and the woman's face was already destroyed, even though there is a portrait of the princess, most villagers can't remember clearly. Some say her eyes are similar except for a few scars on her face, while others say they don't look very similar. I didn't dare to open the coffin without permission for fear of offending anyone."

Upon hearing this, Murong Li immediately became excited, "Let's go and take a look now. I want to see the person alive or dead. I want to see with my own eyes whether that person is my sister."

Murong Li always kept his word. He took action as soon as he said it. He took a dozen guards and rode at full speed to the back mountain of Jiangjia Village.

But when the grave was dug up, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Empty...empty?" Tingfeng was a little confused when he looked at the empty coffin that looked a little rotten.

At this moment, dark night fell and Murong Li could see clearly, so he didn't need Ting Feng to remind him.

Somehow, when he saw the empty coffin, Murong Li felt a little secretly happy. Did this mean that his sister might still be alive?

Click!

Suddenly, there was a noise coming from the woods.

When everyone looked in the direction of the sound, Tingyu had already caught a tall and thin middle-aged man.

"It's you, the man whose donkey cart overturned on the side of the road this morning." Ting Feng recognized the tall and thin middle-aged man at a glance.

That’s right, the person who came was Jiang Minghao, Jiang’s cousin.

Jiang Minghao's eyes fell on the opened coffin, and then he looked at Murong Li and asked, "Your Highness, are you here to check Sisi's background, right? When your guards came to ask about it at noon, I had a rough idea."

Hearing this, Murong Li narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the person in front of him. Although this person was thin, he had clear eyebrows and eyes and did not look like a bad person.

"It seems that you know something?" Murong Li waved his hand, signaling Tingyu to let him go.

Jiang Minghao moved his wrist and then spoke: "The princess' body was taken away not long after it was buried."

These words were like a sharp knife, stabbing Murong Li's heart.

"How can you be sure that that is my sister?" Murong Li's eyes flashed coldly and his voice was deep and deep.

Hearing this, Jiang Minghao seemed to recall some painful memories. After a long while, he said, "I was once a member of the marriage team."

When these words were spoken, Murong Li and his guards were filled with disbelief.

When the eldest princess went north to marry a foreign princess and was kidnapped and disappeared, the guards of the Zhenbei Palace all knew something about it.

It is said that the entire marriage team, except for the missing princess, including the envoys, palace maids and eunuchs, were all killed, and some of them could not even find their complete bodies. When they heard Jiang Minghao's words, they were shocked.

Seeing their suspicious looks, Jiang Minghao took off his clothes in front of everyone.

The body under the patched clothes also looked like a patchwork, with traces of mending everywhere.

Especially his abdomen, a huge wound spread from the left side of his waist to the right side, which was really shocking.

"Maybe I was lucky. I survived even though my intestines were spilling out. At that time, I met a very strange young man. He was carrying a metal box with strange knives inside. He said he was a doctor and muttered something about no conditions or infection. I didn't understand what he said, but thanks to him, I was able to save my life."

"After recuperating from my injuries at the border for half a year, I fled back home. When I got home, I found that Qu Lan had become the wife of my eldest cousin."

"She was also very surprised to see me. We pretended not to know each other and tacitly agreed not to talk about what happened that year. Until half a year later, a disfigured pregnant woman suddenly came to Jiangjia Village."

"It was the princess who took the initiative to recognize us. She refused to talk about her injuries and we didn't dare to ask. Unexpectedly, due to her serious injuries, the princess went into premature labor. She vowed to save the baby. We had no choice but to do as she was told. When the baby fell to the ground, the princess also died of hemorrhage."

Hearing this, Murong Li bit his lower lip, clenched his fists, his eyes turned red with anger, and he felt heartbroken.

He couldn't imagine what that pampered sister had gone through in the year she was kidnapped.

"Before she died, the princess said that this child would be the daughter of Qu Lan and her eldest cousin. Don't tell her about her life experience and let her be a farm girl."

"I am a timid and cowardly person. Mr. and Mrs. Qu Lan died suddenly and unexpectedly. I was afraid that the child would bring disaster to the village, so I let Jiang Mingyuan and his family take the young master away."

Murong Li knew very well that human nature is always selfish, but when he thought about the girl being tortured and abused by Jiang Mingyuan's family for so many years, Murong Li was still very angry.

"Mr. and Mrs. Qu Lan were poisoned to death by Jiang Mingyuan's family. Do you know that my daughter was almost tortured to death by them for so many years? If she hadn't married the young master of the Fan family, I don't know when she would have escaped from that tiger's den."

Ting Feng was not as calm as Murong Li. He walked forward and kicked Jiang Minghao in the abdomen, "You cowardly little man."

Jiang Mingyuan fell to the ground, his eyes full of shock, "What? My cousin and Qu Lan were killed by Jiang Mingyuan's family? This beast."

"Your Highness, I... I really don't know. If I knew, I would never let them take the young master away even if I died. I thought that group of people had returned. They were vicious and ferocious. I was afraid that the innocent people in the village would suffer, so I..."

Jiang Minghao didn't know what he was thinking about. He laughed at himself and looked up at Tingfeng. "No, you are right. I am a selfish person. If it weren't for the money given by the princess, my child might have died of illness a long time ago. I am sorry for her. I failed to fulfill the princess's request and take good care of the young master."

After he finished speaking, Jiang Minghao knelt on the ground and slapped himself in the face, feeling extremely regretful.
