Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Chapter 92 The Truth about the Child Swap

Aunt Hua is her biological grandmother! Xie Qingyao was completely crushed by this cruel fact. She lay on the ground and laughed heartily, venting the pain and unwillingness in her heart.

Nanny Hua sat upright on the chair, watching Xie Qingyao go crazy with cold eyes. Over the years, Xie Qingyao had been praised and pampered by everyone in the Marquis' Mansion, and she became more and more arrogant and looked down on others. This incident was just the right opportunity to curb her arrogance!

After about an incense stick of time, Xie Qingyao gradually calmed down. She slowly sat up, her red eyes wide open, staring straight at Aunt Hua, sneering, "You're lying to me! How could a mere servant steal the truth without anyone noticing? I almost believed your lies!"

There was a glimmer of hope in her eyes. Although she believed deep down that what Aunt Hua said was mostly true, she still wanted to make one last desperate struggle!

Aunt Hua gave a mocking smile and said coldly, "Don't look down on the little people! If a little person is smart enough and knows how to use the wind to sail, he can also shake the big tree and even control the fate of the big people!"

She paused and said with considerable pride, "Back then, I accidentally learned that someone wanted to get rid of Jiang Muxue's child. I seized the opportunity and successfully replaced the prince with you. That's how you have everything you have now!"

Xie Qingyao said angrily: "You knew that the other party wanted to get rid of Jiang Muxue's child, and you asked me to impersonate her. You want me to die!"

Aunt Hua said disdainfully, "They want to kill Jiang Muxue's real daughter, not you, the fake daughter!"

She said it lightly, but felt a little sad in her heart.

When Jiang Muxue was about to give birth, Yao'er happened to have just been born. She overheard that a big shot was going to get rid of Jiang Muxue's daughter, so she decided to take advantage of the opportunity and use Yao'er to block it!

She bet that if the other party failed once, he would not try again. She also bet that Jiang Muxue and the Marquis's Mansion would be alert after the incident and be able to protect Yao'er. If she lost, it would only be the life of a cheap girl. If she won, the Song family would be extremely rich!

Fortunately, she won the bet!

Xie Qingyao's last bit of hope was extinguished, and two lines of desperate tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes.

Aunt Hua didn't care about Xie Qingyao's despair. Instead, she warned him coldly, "Remember, your last name is Song. Your father is Song Zhaoxing, and your brother is Song Tianbao! I went through so much trouble to send you to the Marquis' Mansion, not so that you can honor that damn old woman, but so that you can bring honor to the Song family in the future!"

Xie Qingyao listened blankly, feeling extremely sarcastic in her heart. Whether it was the Xie family or the Song family, what difference did it make? Didn't they all treat her as a stepping stone?

She asked absentmindedly, "Song...what does father do for a living? Where are they now?"

Xie Qingyao was secretly calculating in her heart that if she found out their whereabouts, she would definitely get rid of them all. She didn't want to be a member of the Song family!

Speaking of her children and grandchildren, Aunt Hua's expression was no longer stern. Instead, she said worriedly, "After the child exchange, I gave Jiang Muxue's daughter to your father and told him to get rid of the child. But the next day, your father took your mother and Tianbao and left Shengjing City."

"About a month or two later, I received a letter from your father. He said he was worried about the truth being revealed and that he was afraid of retaliation from the Jiang family and the Marquisate. He was also worried that if he stayed in Shengjing City, your mother would be unable to resist and come looking for you, so he took his family and hid far away in Jiazhou Prefecture."

Although Aunt Hua had explained a lot, Xie Qingyao still felt that there were many things that didn't make sense. She asked coldly, "How did you replace the child back then? Since Jiang Muxue's daughter has been dealt with, who is Xie Qingli now? Are you sure your father really got rid of that child?"

Aunt Hua's expression froze, and the scene of the day when the baby was exchanged emerged in her mind.

At that time, Nanny Hua did not tell Song Zhaoxing and He the truth. She only said that Jiang Muxue was also pregnant with a daughter, and that she could secretly replace her with He's newly born daughter. In the future, the daughter of the Song family would become the legitimate daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, and with the protection of the Jiang family, she would surely enjoy endless wealth and glory.

He agreed to the plan without hesitation, and Song Zhaoxing did not object.

At that time, Nanny Hua was still serving Madam Xie. On the day Jiang Muxue gave birth, her contractions began early in the morning, but she didn't give birth until the moon was high above the willows. She had informed Song Zhaoxing early that day, and he had given Yao'er a sleeping pill beforehand, put her in a basket, and sneaked into the mansion through the dog hole in the garden.

Mrs. Xie and Xie Jingyuan had been waiting outside the delivery room, but after only an hour, they lost their patience. When the midwife told them the birth would take several more hours, they went back to rest. After the baby was born, they learned it was indeed a daughter, and they lost interest in checking it out.

Jiang Muxue seemed to have been drugged and had been in a coma since giving birth. The child was placed next to her and was guarded by a wet nurse and several maids.

It was already late at night. Nanny Hua knew that the group would take action at any time, so she bravely walked into the room and lied that Old Madam Xie wanted to see her granddaughter and wanted to take the child to Songhe Hall.

Although the maids were reluctant, Jiang Muxue was in a coma and they did not dare to disobey Madam Xie's order, so they carefully wrapped the child and handed it to her, but two maids went out with her.

Aunt Hua knew that it was not easy to deal with two maids at the same time. Halfway through the journey, she pretended to have forgotten the task assigned by Old Lady Xie. She took out a brocade box that she had prepared in advance and handed it to one of the maids, falsely claiming that it was a tonic pill treasured by Old Lady Xie, which was most suitable for women to take after childbirth. She instructed the maid to serve Jiang Muxue the pills immediately after she woke up.

The maidservant didn't suspect anything and returned to Yingxueju with the pill. In fact, it was just a hawthorn pill!

Nanny Hua took a short path, carrying the child, and hurried toward Songhe Hall. The remaining maid, assuming that Old Lady Xie was anxious to see her granddaughter, trotted after Nanny Hua. When they reached a secluded spot, Song Zhaoxing, who had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly jumped out, covered the maid's mouth and nose, and dragged her to the lake, where he plunged her to death.

Aunt Hua quickly changed the two children's clothes. Her heart was pounding like a drum, panicked and excited! Oddly enough, Yao'er had been sleeping soundly since taking the medicine, while Jiang Muxue's child had his round eyes open but hadn't cried at all.

Soon, Song Zhaoxing returned from the lake. Nanny Hua put the child in a basket and told Song Zhaoxing to get rid of the child. Then, Nanny Hua carefully carried Yao'er back to Yingxueju.

After hiding in the bushes outside Yingxue Residence for a while, Aunt Hua saw a group of men in black flying out of Yingxue Residence, carrying the bodies of the maids and servants on their backs. She waited in the dark for a while, until she was sure it was completely safe, and then she sneaked into Yingxue Residence.

She carefully placed Yao'er next to Jiang Muxue, and checked the room again to make sure that no clues were left, then quietly returned to Songhe Hall.

The next day, Yingxueju's maid committed suicide by jumping into the lake in the mansion garden. The other maids and servants also died under mysterious circumstances. Jiang Muxue, suspicious of the circumstances, wanted to report the case to the authorities, but Old Lady Xie and Xie Jingyuan felt that family disgrace should not be aired publicly. However, the usually obedient Jiang Muxue was unusually persistent, and Xie Jingyuan reluctantly invited officials from the Dali Temple to investigate.

Fearing the assassins might strike again, Aunt Hua suggested that Old Lady Xie take Yao'er in to raise. Old Lady Xie, also feeling that Yingxueju was unlucky, took the child to Songhetang. Jiang Muxue objected, but she couldn't persuade Old Lady Xie and Xie Jingyuan and his mother.

After two days of anxiety, Aunt Hua suddenly found a small note under the teapot in her room. The note was written on fine silk and read, "Tomorrow, at the beginning of the morning, Qingfeng Tea House."

Aunt Hua turned pale with shock...
