Mrs. Cheng'en looked very unhappy. She was the queen's sister-in-law and the mistress of the house.
Over the years, no yamen official has ever been polite when visiting Cheng'en Palace.
But today, these people came in like a tidal wave, and the crowd was full of force and force.
As soon as the leading official came in, he held up the red-painted wooden sign proving his identity and said to her in public,
"Jingzhao Mansion handles cases and acts according to orders. Who in the manor is named Gu Qingyuan."
The name of the woman in the boudoir is rarely revealed.
But Gu Qingyuan's name was called out by a vulgar official.
Mrs. Cheng'en was already furious. When Gu Qingyuan asked her this question, she naturally responded.
She said with a smile but not a smile,
"You don't deserve to be called a mother. I have to ask this adult what happened."
Gu Qingyuan's breath was suffocated.
She and Mrs. Cheng'en were casual acquaintances.
But in my heart I also respect the other person’s identity.
I never thought that one day she would say such accusations against Sang and Huai.
Could it be that the news about Duke Zhen had spread to the capital?
When someone from the government comes to visit, are they captured or killed in battle? It cannot be that they surrendered to the enemy and betrayed their country.
Across the crowd, Gu Qingyuan saw Lu Wenze.
He was wearing the official uniform of the Infantry Division, with his hands behind his back, and immediately met her eyes.
He was in a trance, and there was a hint of complexity in his eyes.
Mrs. Chengen asked patiently,
"Okay, sir, my little daughter-in-law is here. Why on earth did you come to the door so aggressively?"
"If you don't tell me about the ugly Yinmao today, I will hand you a sign and go to the palace to complain."
The leading official wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced at Lu Wenze vaguely.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to intervene in household affairs. Originally, the government did not interfere in such household affairs.
However, the Marquis Lu brought his people to Jingzhao Mansion and had to accept the petition.
Come to ask questions.
He looked over, hoping that Lord Lu could say a few words.
But he didn't seem to notice it, and turned his eyes away calmly.
In desperation, the official had no choice but to stride up to Gu Qingyuan and said selflessly,
"Gu family? The Jingzhao Mansion has received a petition accusing you of using your surname to rebel against the clan."
There was a buzz, and people in the front hall were whispering to each other and talking about it.
"Fake your surname as Luanzong?" Mrs. Cheng'en was extremely horrified.
This means that Gu Qingyuan is not a girl from the Gu family at all.
She looked at Gu Qingyuan carefully from head to toe, then looked at the pale-faced Ruan.
"No wonder you, your biological mother, and your twin sister look nothing alike."
"No wonder, how could a child picked up from outside look like someone from the Gu family?"
When the official said that Gu Qingyuan pretended to be surnamed Luan Zong, she was stunned, turned her eyes, and looked at Ruan's face with questioning.
Ruan turned away.
There was a bang, as if a thunder exploded above her head.
It turns out it has nothing to do with the Duke of Zhen.
She stood blankly in the lobby, all the blood drained from her face in an instant, and her almond-shaped eyes were empty and lost their energy.
She is not a child of the Gu family.
So who is she?
She suddenly understood why the Ruan family had treated her poorly all those years.
Everything stems from the fact that she is not her biological daughter.
When she was young, she only thought that Mrs. Qin was her own mother, until one day Mrs. Ruan came to see her secretly and said that she was her biological mother.
Let her not forget her.
At that time, every time she saw Gu Yunniang, she didn't understand why she looked nothing like her.
She also asked Ruan, and Ruan's answer now seems to be just perfunctory, "Not every twin looks the same."
At that time, she believed it to be true and never doubted it. After all, such things were also recorded in books.
It's just that those things are true. But she is false.
At this time, Mrs. Chengen smiled sarcastically and said,
"If it's not a child of the Gu family, it's just a matter of confusion at best. How can it be that the surname is fake and the clan is messed up?"
"Does she know her life experience?"
The house is quiet.
Gu Qingyuan's eyes never moved away from Ruan's body. She saw Ruan's lips opening and closing.
"The eldest girl knows... The eldest girl asked me not to tell anyone..."
Mrs. Chengen's expression changed and she asked angrily, "Does she know?"
Ruan nodded.
Shuangzhi, who was following Gu Qingyuan, was shocked and didn't believe Ruan's words.
She quietly retreated to the corner door, left the front hall, and ran to the study in the outer courtyard.
Lu Wenze saw Shuangzhi exiting and did not send anyone to stop him.
Pei Jinting went out to patrol the city today. By the time he returned to the city after finishing his errands, the dust had already settled here.
There is no room for change.
The Duke Cheng'en's government values face and cannot allow an orphan with no status to be his daughter-in-law.
At this time, facing this situation, Gu Qingyuan's heart gradually became cold.
This group of people came prepared.
She couldn't count on anyone else to help her.
Gu Qingyuan closed her eyes and calmed her mind, a cold light flashed across her eyes.
"Mrs. Gu, not to mention that you told me that I know my own life experience. Then let me ask you, why did you buy an orphan baby back home?"
It's not a boy. Let's change him to someone who will be his favorite when he returns home.
Who can believe it when it comes to an orphan girl?
Outside the house, a breeze blew through the treetops, and the lush green branches and leaves of the sycamore tree made a soft rustling sound.
Gu Qingyuan felt that the wind was blowing into her heart, and the chill was about to drown her.
Ruan glanced at Lu Wenze and spoke slowly.
"That year, I gave birth to twins, and I was very happy..."
