Chapter 431 - The Proof Without Proven Ability (1/2)
He said these words in a very certain way but everyone felt dubious about his words. When the matter related to Qin Wanru happened, Qin Huaiyong also said for certain, but it turned out in the end that Qin Wanru was not Qin Huaiyong’s biological daughter. Or did he try to implement this plan again?
Or did he try to defend his daughter?
So his words actually had no proven ability!
“First Miss Qin, I heard that when you were in Jiangzhou, you changed your age from fifteen to thirteen, didn’t you?” Nanny Gao spoke for Rui’an Great Elder Princess.
However, when she finished, she didn’t wait for Qin Yuru’s explanation but looked at Qi Rongzhi who stood beside Qin Wanru and asked, “First Miss Qi, where is your evidence before?”
She investigated this thing before Rui’an Great Elder Princess came here, but how could she know? Even though Qi Rongzhi was confused, she didn’t dare to disobey Great Elder Princess’ order. She nodded and asked the witness who was a supervisor to come here. Later, she smiled at Nanny Gao and answered, “The witness is a supervisor and he has the transcript of the alteration of her census register.”
Qi Rongzhi pointed at Xixiang, the servant girl and said, “She can prove Qin Yuru now is fifteen. Besides, she can also prove that Qin Yuru was eligible to marry my brother because of her age.”
Seeing Qin Yuru’s plan was totally scuppered, Qi Rongzhi behaved in a way that she had nothing to do with Qin Yuru now while thinking she had shown those pieces of evidence.
“Qi Rongzhi, you are lying!” Qin Yuru flushed. She wiped away her tears and snarled. Her hands, which were holding her handkerchief, kept trembling.
Qin Huaiyong’s gaze fell upon her face. It could tell that he now was in a bad mood from his tightly frowned eyebrows. He seemed to be in a tangle and obviously, he seemed to have no idea about this matter.
“The fact will tell whether I am lying. Qin Yuru, I have never expected that you will try to take sister Wanru’s place and even to impersonate her identity. No wonder Madam Di and you did your best to plot against sister Wanru in Jiangzhou and even asked others to kidnap her! How vicious you are!”
Qi Rongzhi pointed at Qin Yuru and shouted abuse at her in a righteous manner. She now was in the right.
“Great Elder Princess, do you consider Qin Wanru as your biological daughter just because of these things?” Old Madam said in a bad mood. She had been embarrassed by Rui’an Great Elder Princess and Rui’an Great Elder Princess now even recognized Qin Wanru whom she hated most as Qinghua’s biological daughter so she blurted out.
Even if Qin Yuru might not Qinghua’s biological daughter, it should not be Qin Wanru!
“It seems that you do hate Wanru, Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion!” Rui’an Great Elder Princess said as she looked cold. Before Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion replied, she said to Nanny Gao, “Bring him here!”
“Yes, princess!” Nanny Gao answered and gesticulated toward an old maid who was near the entrance. The old maid immediately understood and brought in a middle-aged man.
When seeing clearly the man’s face, Madam of Duke Xing blenched. Her face turned pale and her fingers were trembling slightly.
Shao Huai stepped forward and suddenly knelt down in front of Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion. “Old Madam, nice to see you!” he said with a trembling voice. Although he had not worked in Duke Xing’s Mansion for years, he still felt grateful to his former master.
“Are you, are you Shao Huai?”
Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion suddenly stood up and she was shaking in excitement. “He is my son’s servant! I sent him to find my son but there has been no message at all these years. I have thought he also died in the war. However, he just appears in front of me now!”
“Yes, Old Madam, I am Shao Huai.” Thinking of his dead master, Shao Huai answered sadly.
“Do you, do you find your master?” Excited, Old Madam asked hurriedly. She had always been proud of her eldest son and thus, when she saw Shao Huai, she got totally excited.
“Master was gone in the war…” Shao Huai burst into tears. He had spent years finding his master. Later, when he knew his master had a little daughter, he then kept looking for the little miss. However, he had always missed the opportunities to meet his little miss. Thinking of what he had done for these years, he couldn’t help crying.
Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion lurched while Nanny Yu hurried to support her. The feeling of that she supposed her son had died was totally different from the one of that somebody told her that her son had died.
“Is he really dead?” Old Madam took a deep breath and choked with sobs with her red-rimmed eyes.
“Yes, but we still have our little miss! I find her. She is Second Miss Qin of Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion! She is the former Heir of Duke Xing and Infanta’s biological daughter!” Pointing at Qin Wanru, Shao Huai wiped away his tears and said, “Old Madam, I have figured it out! The former Heir of Duke Xing trusted Ningyuan Army General with his daughter, Second Miss Qin on his deathbed.”
Qin Huaiyong’s fingers hid in the sleeve suddenly jerked.
“Ningyuan Army General, can you explain this?” Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion wiped away her tears and looked at Qin Huaiyong. Since he arrived here, he seldom talked. Although today’s matters were closely related to his two daughters, he acted like an onlooker.
Finding Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion asked him, Qin Huaiyong looked somehow hesitant as he frowned tightly.
