Chapter 299 Age Changed to 13

“I took this from that b*tchy girl. Before that old beggar noticed it, I had taken it off her. The Fenghua Glazed Cup is possibly not as important as this!” Madam Di’s bony cheeks were full of pride, and her eyes looked even bigger and more sinister.

“What is the Fenghua Glazed Cup?” Qin Yuru asked with confusion.

“When that girl was sent to me at that time, she wore this seal, and there was also a piece of precious Fenghua Glazed Cup in the package. After the old beggar came back, she took the Cup away, but had no idea about the seal the b*tchy girl wore.”

Madam Di sneered. If she had not been thoughtful, she would not have got this bluegrass seal. But now she had lost it and had to make a new one according to her memory of it!

“Mother, this seal has something to do with the b*tchy girl’s origin? What’s the use of it for me?” Qin Yuru turned the seal in her hand and observed it, but showed no much interest, throwing it to the table.

Seeing this, Nanny Zhou rushed over hurriedly and held the seal thrown over and shouted loudly, “First Miss, my dear lady, this can’t be thrown because it bears great luck!”

Madam Di was also taken aback by Qin Yuru’s behavior and said irritably, “This can’t be thrown because it is related to the current matter. If my guess is correct, this should be the only chance to solve your current dilemma!”

“Is the b*tchy girl’s stuff so good?” Qin Yuru said very dismissively as she heard it and frowned. Over the years, she had been taught by Madam Di that she was the most distinguished Miss and Qin Wanru was but a b*stard picked up from somewhere. Raising her was nearly equal to raising one more servant girl in their mansion.

She was treated as a Miss only because Madam Dowager liked her.

Madam Di said so to Qin Yuru, who also thought so. Qin Wanru was but a servant girl, and no one else but she should be the scapegoat of trouble. Even if she was bullied by Qi Rongzhi, that was nothing. Anyway, she was but a b*tchy servant girl living off their family.

But what Madam Di said today was not this meaning.

“If my guess is correct, this girl should be the biological daughter of the Heir of Duke Xing, whom I met in the capital city. Unfortunately, when the girl was brought to me, I heard her father had died. If I had seen him, I would have known if he was the Heir of Duke Xing!”

Madam Di stuck out her tongue to lick the slightly cracked corner of her mouth, with an excited glint in her eyes.

Before getting married, she was the daughter of Duke Yong’s official wife. At that time, the mansion was even more prosperous than it was today. She was one of the few noble ladies in the capital city, but her status as a noble lady was no match for the status of the heir of Duke Xing.

In fact, the handsome young general was also a dream for Countess Yong before she got married, but it was only a dream at last. The Heir of Duke Xing fell in love with Infanta Qinghua, the daughter of Rui’an Great Elder Princess. Later, the emperor issued an imperial edict to designate the marriage. It was really wonderful.

At that time, many official wives’ daughters in aristocratic families felt sad silently, but their statuses were a little lower than that of the only daughter of Rui’an Great Elder Princess, although they were all extraordinary.

“The biological daughter of Heir of Duke Xing? Is this true?” After learning the secret, Qin Yuru couldn’t help breathing rapidly!

Having been in the capital city for some time, Di Fenglan had also heard about Duke Xing’s Mansion. In private, she also loved the eldest son of Duke Xing’s Mansion. In former days, if she was with Di Fenglan, what they talked about most was Duke Xing’s Mansion, and she also knew some past stories of the mansion, including the fact that the current Duke Xing was not appointed as the heir of the duke in the beginning, but the original heir died, and so he got the current nobility title.

“I was not sure in the beginning, but after you wore the bluegrass dress to visit Duke Xing’s Mansion, Madam of Duke Xing became nice to me gradually and secretly asked about the seal patterns on your dress. Then, I thought this is probably true.” Madam Di became even prouder.

Initially, it was but a guess, only an unsure guess, and its cause was the Fenghua Glazed Cup. Formerly, she heard that the Fenghua Glazed Cup was among the dowry of Infanta Qinghua when she was married to the Heir of Duke Xing. It was said that the item was surprisingly valuable, but she had never seen it.

All glazed cups were almost from overseas and were quite valuable. One could say that all the families which had glazed cups were not ordinary. Allegedly, the Fenghua Glazed Cup was even more extraordinary. Yet, no matter how extraordinary it was, Madam Di had never seen it, but she saw one in Qin Wanru’s package. Although she was not sure if that was the one, she thought of the one of the Heir of Duke Xing instantly.

But that time this idea just flashed across her mind and vanished. How could Qin Wanru be the daughter of the Heir of Duke Xing? How could the daughter of the Heir of Duke Xing become an orphan and be raised by Qin Huaiyong and Madam Dowager?

Madam Di thought so at that time, but she was still thoughtful and secretly took the bluegrass seal on Qin Wanru’s neck and stowed it.

Later, she also sent someone to ask about the experience of the Heir of Duke Xing, but the information she got was the Heir of Duke Xing died in the rebellion. Infanta Qinghua was found and taken back, but she also died after she finally gave birth to a son. After that, no one heard the couple had a daughter.

This idea was deeply hidden in Madam Di’s heart.

Later, when she arrived in the capital, she also asked Old Madam of Duke Yong about the experiences of the former Heir of Duke Xing and Infanta Qinghua, but Old Madam only said no one knew where they had been over the years. At that time, Infanta Qinghua could not get along well with Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion. After the old Duke Xing went furious, the former Heir of Duke Xing left the capital with Infanta Qinghua.

Then there was chaos again. No one knew what their life was like during these years or whether they gave birth to children or not, but the pregnant Infanta Qinghua was finally found and taken back. Rumors said that Infanta Qinghua was not so clear-minded when she was taken back, and so she could not tell what happened over the past years.

Madam Di thought the unclear condition was a very good opportunity, and it was even better now that Infanta Qinghua was dead.

She had not seen the bluegrass seal, but she once heard Infanta Qinghua had a bluegrass pattern seal. The patterns on Qin Yuru’s clothes were slightly different, but they still drew the attention of Madam of Duke Xing.

Although Madam of Duke Xing had not said anything directly, Madam Di felt this was almost the truth, but she had no time to plot it later. She had been looking for the lost seal, but she failed. Finally, she had to ask Nanny Zhou to make a new one, which she got a short time ago.

“Yuru, if you become the daughter of Duke Xing’s Mansion, no one will dare to belittle you. What’s the matter that you had a romantic relationship with Qi Tianyu in former days? How can Qi Tianyu desire such a noble lady like you? Even if you are married into the Duke Yong’s Mansion in the future, no one will dare to oppress you!”

Madam Di smiled neurotically and clenched her fists tightly, her twisted expression looking ferocious.

Qin Yuru looked at Madam Di with some disgust, backed off silently, and pretended to press her face with her handkerchief. “Mother, can Duke Xing’s Mansion approve of me only because of this seal?”

“They may not approve of you in public, but taking you to Duke Xing’s Mansion and raise you like a lady of it is a must. At least, you can’t be worse than their adopted daughter Qi Rongzhi. Anyway, you will be better than her,” Madam Di said in an eerily cold tone.

“Will Duke Xing’s Mansion also send generous gifts?” When Qin Yuru thought of the gifts of Duke Xing’s Mansion their mansion’s servant girls discussed today, her eyes brightened.

“Not only generous gifts but also other things. The identity you will replace is the daughter of the former Heir of Duke Xing. In theory, this identity is even higher than that of the current Duke Xing’s First Miss. How can Duke Xing’s Mansion dare to treat you indifferently? Let alone you are also the biological granddaughter of Rui’an Great Elder Princess. Previously, Qin Wanru was admired so much by others only because she was appreciated by Rui’an Great Elder Princess. If you are her biological granddaughter, who will dare to look down upon you!”

Madam Di’s eyes turned cold. As for some other deals, she was unwilling to let Qin Yuru know. It was enough if she could be the qualified daughter of the former heir of Duke Xing’s Mansion!

“I see!” Qin Yuru nodded heavily and became very energetic. Thinking that she would become the real daughter of the former heir of Duke Xing’s Mansion, she felt she was even nobler but never thought she was but a fake one or how serious the result would be if the plot failed.

“Yuru, but your age needs to be changed slightly. It happens your grandma has sent someone to discuss the marriage of you and Di Yan. I will try to ask someone to puff it off and only say you are 13. But after this, I am afraid your grandma won’t be so close to you!” Madam Di had a sinister glint in her eyes, and her smile looked a little deeper in the candlelight as if she was a wolf who hasn’t eaten for many days and had seen delicious food.

“Say I am 13?” Qin Yuru asked with confusion, “Why say I am 13?”

“If we say you are 15, no one will think you are their daughter because everyone knows the former Heir of Duke Xing and Infanta Qinghua were still in the capital city at that time. Only during the time they left the capital city, they could have a lost daughter. The father of the servant girl Qu Le was the servant of the former Heir of Duke Xing back then. Unfortunately, he disappeared later!”

This was also something disappointing for Madam Di. It would be better if the servant could prove the matter. She consumed so much energy and found the servant looking for the couple in Jiangzhou, but he strangely disappeared because of Qin Wanru. Thinking of that, Madam Di felt quite angry and hit the table hard with her palm.

The glazed cup, the bluegrass seal, and the servant of the former Heir of Duke Xing who was still looking for his master were shreds of evidence. With them, a human could be created. Even if the daughter didn’t exist, she could be modeled. Although Madam Di had been doing so secretly, she dare not make her dream come true.

But now the pusher behind it appeared. With the current predicament of her and Qin Yuru, it seemed that making her daughter become the daughter of the former Heir of Duke Xing was the only chance to create a good future for them. How could she give up such a chance!

Her daughter should be born extraordinary!

Outside the room, a black shadow flashed past…
