Chapter 263
"Oh!"
Cui Siniang sneered: "Prince Changshan is not from our Jingguo Palace, so how do we know that she is my father's daughter?
"Could it be that you were there when she was born fifteen years ago?"
Hearing this, Cui Wulang scolded: "Si Niang, don't talk nonsense."
His brother could not refute, Cui Siniang did not speak anymore, but the disdain on her face clearly meant that she did not believe Chen Linshen's words.
Chen Linshen was not angry, but smiled and said: "The fourth sister doesn't know something. Your eldest sister has been fostered in Yunxuan Temple since she was a child. My uncle knows her identity best."
"Who is your uncle?" Cui Siniang blurted out unconvinced.
Chen Linshen: "King of Chu."
Cui Siniang was suddenly speechless: "..."
Seeing that the Queen Mother also changed her expression, Chen Linshen changed her title and said seriously: "Queen Mother, this little girl mixed something into the water to deceive you and conceal Miss Cui's true identity. It's really hateful.
"I also hope that the Queen Mother will grant me permission to find out the truth and punish her in accordance with the law."
After struggling in her heart, the Queen Mother said: "...accurate."
So, Chen Linshen shouted outside: "Come here, prepare three bowls of water. Make sure it is clean and not mixed with anything."
The Queen Mother's face turned even more ugly.
Soon, Song Mu came in carrying a tray.
"Wish you well, Queen Mother."
After Songmu saluted, he placed the three bowls of water on the tray on the table, took away the original three bowls of water mixed with blood, and silently exited the hall.
"Third Master, I'm offended."
After Chen Linshen said to Cui Yongxuan, he picked up the dagger and slashed Cui Yongxuan's index finger.
He moved very gently, and the blood slowly flowed out, dripping into the clear water, which was so red that it was dazzling.
"Miss Cui——"
Chen Linshen walked up to Cui Hengyue, with his back to the Queen Mother and Mrs. Cui, holding the tip of the knife in his hand, and handed the dagger to Cui Hengyue.
"Do it yourself."
When saying this, Chen Linshen blinked at Cui Hengyue, as if to say: Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you.
Cui Hengyue didn't seem to see it or pick up the dagger. She stretched out the index finger that was scratched just now, then pinched it with her other hand and squeezed hard.
"Tick-tick-tick!"
Three drops of blood fell into three bowls of water respectively.
The two drops of blood moved slowly and finally merged together, like red plums floating in the water.
"Yeah, it's integrated."
The first one to scream in surprise was Mrs. Cui. Then she said, "It seems that what Prince Changshan said is true. The water just now was indeed adulterated."
The people below were talking a lot:
"Look, let me just say that the eldest sister is the third uncle's daughter."
"Now I believe it..."
Listening to the discussion in her ears, Mrs. Cui showed a pleased expression.
This matter can finally be settled.
Mrs. Cui Er looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground and asked curiously: "What on earth did you mix in the water? It's so magical?"
Nanny You looked at the Queen Mother, saw the Queen Mother blinking, and quickly walked up to the palace maid and asked fiercely: "Lu'er, why do you want to mix things in the water? Just do it for real!"
"I..." Lu'er raised his head and glanced at the Queen Mother, then at Aunt You, and finally leaned down on the ground:
"I did indeed do this. I admit it. Please punish the Queen Mother."
At this time, the Queen Mother slowly spoke: "For the sake of your many years of service to me, I will punish you to go to Yeting."
"Wait a minute -" Cui Hengyue suddenly said.
Chen Linshen reminded in a low voice: "If you have to be merciful, please be merciful and leave a way out for yourself."
Cui Hengyue pretended not to hear, pointed at the palace maid and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, can I ask her a few questions?"
"Yuan Niang."
This title is full of warnings.
Mrs. Cui stood up and said with a stern face: "Okay, there is no doubt about your identity. I will announce it in public at the banquet later.
"The banquet is about to start now, and there are so many people outside waiting to pay their respects to the Queen Mother, so don't waste your time here."
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Cui turned around and looked at her daughter: "Queen Mother, let's take our leave first."
After saying this, he greeted others: "Let's go."
Cui Hengyue ignored it, rushed to Lu'er, grabbed the clothes on her back and pulled her up:
"You have never met me and are not related to me, so why do you do this?
"explain!"
She had a fierce expression, a sharp voice, and her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, as if she wanted to eat someone, which made Lu'er tremble all over with fear.
"I...I am..."
Mrs. Cui shouted sharply: "Yuan Niang, don't be so arrogant in front of the Queen Mother!"
Then he ordered: "Second Niang, Third Niang, drag her away for me."
Cui Erniang suddenly became embarrassed.
Cui Sanniang saw that Cui Erniang didn't move, so she didn't move either.
Mrs. Cui was about to get angry with them when she saw Mrs. Cui going to pull Cui Hengyue.
"Okay, Yuanniang, she has been punished, let's go."
Cui Hengyue shook off Mrs. Cui with all her strength and shouted: "I just want to know the truth. I'm just asking a few questions. It won't delay the start of the dinner."
As he said that, he exerted force with his hands, and Lu'er's clothes suddenly slid down, and the front skirt was so tight that she couldn't breathe.
"Tell me honestly, why did you do this?"
Cui Yongxuan couldn't stand it anymore and shouted: "Cui Hengyue, stop it!"
Cui Hengyue said harder: "Say!"
Facing Cui Hengyue's blatant disregard, Cui Yongxuan only felt that his majesty as a father was shattered, and anger suddenly arose in his heart.
"evil creature!"
Cui Yongxuan rushed over, raised his hand and hit Cui Hengyue in the face.
"Are you really going to hit me?" Cui Hengyue suddenly let go of his hand and looked straight at Cui Yongxuan.
Her voice was calm and her eyes were calm, but Cui Yongxuan heard the threat in her tone and made a move.
Although his eldest daughter looks weak, he has no affection at all in front of her.
In front of everyone, he didn't want to be restrained by his daughter and make a fool of himself in public.
Cui Yongxuan retracted his hand and said earnestly like an old father: "Yuan Niang, stop making trouble, your mother doesn't want to see you like this."
She actually has the nerve to mention her mother?
Cui Hengyue wanted to ridicule him, but she caught a glimpse of the people in the palace, and then looked at Lu'er who was kneeling on the ground panting: "Say it, I won't be polite if you don't say it."
"Crack!"
Suddenly there was a loud noise, and everyone looked around, only to see the cup shattered on the floor.
"Queen Mother, calm down." Everyone hurriedly knelt down.
Mrs. Cui knelt on the ground, secretly tugged on Cui Hengyue's skirt, and shouted in a low voice: "Yuan Niang, kneel down."
Cui Hengyue did not kneel down and faced the Queen Mother directly: "Queen Mother, I am the eldest daughter of the Cui family. If any palace maid can bully me, how can the Cui family gain a foothold if word spreads?
"The Cui family is the first family, and it is your mother's family, the Queen Mother. Not just any cat or dog can bully you."
"You..." The Queen Mother only felt that Cui Hengyue was sarcastic, but she was filled with anger and could not express it.
After a moment of silence, the Queen Mother suddenly put away her angry expression: "You are right, not just anyone can bully our Cui family."
She looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground: "Lu'er, tell me, why did you do this?"
Cui Hengyue looked at Lu'er.
Looking at the Queen Mother's calm eyes, Lu'er knew that she had to tell Cui Hengyue a reason that would not cause trouble and would not implicate other people.
After pondering for a moment, Lu'er said slowly: "Last time Mrs. Cui came into the palace to tell the Queen Mother that Mr. Cui and the Wang family's daughter were back, and I overheard this.
"Back then, my mother-in-law was also working as an errand in the palace, but one time she accidentally broke Concubine Rong's tea cup and was killed by Concubine Rong.
"I heard that Concubine Rong has no children. She has high hopes for the child in sister Wang's belly and loves her very much.
"I was too young to avenge my mother-in-law. Later, Concubine Rong died and I had no chance to avenge her.
