If it doesn't exist, that's impossible.

Cui Hengyue believed in her own judgment. She said to Mrs. Cui: "Auntie, think about it again. Is there any difference in the house before and after I was born?"

Seeing how persistent Cui Hengyue was, Mrs. Cui picked up her memories again.

It seems a little different...

The expression on Mrs. Cui's face was unpredictable, and finally she calmed down again: "No."

"Auntie, can't you trust me?" Cui Hengyue was a little unhappy.

Mrs. Cui had a strange look on her face just now. It was clear that she was thinking of something, but Mrs. Cui did not say it out loud.

Mrs. Cui looked troubled: "This matter has nothing to do with your speculation, it's just that I think it's strange."

"What's going on?" Cui Hengyue stared at Mrs. Cui closely as if she had grasped a clue.

At this time, no matter what clue it was, she didn't want to let it go.

Mrs. Cui thought for a while: "It's Yuanniang... not you, but your fourth uncle's daughter. Everyone in the house knows that she accidentally fell into the lake and drowned, and your fourth aunt also blamed herself for this.

Sorry, it hurt my body.

"But I once overheard a conversation between the old lady and the Queen Mother, saying that your fourth uncle's daughter did not die in an accident, but was killed by your fourth aunt..."

Cui Hengyue opened her mouth wide and couldn't believe what she just heard: "You mean... the fourth uncle's daughter was thrown into the lake by the fourth aunt and drowned?"

"...According to the wishes of the old lady and the Queen Mother, that should be the case." Madam Cui's expression was solemn.

After many years, she was still shocked.

Tiger poison does not eat its seeds. As a mother, how could Tian kill her daughter with her own hands?

Although Cui Hengyue didn't want to believe it, she slowly began to believe it when she saw the serious look on Mrs. Cui's face.

"A mother who has been pregnant for ten months and goes through pain to give birth to a child will never do anything to harm her child, let alone kill her own child.

"unless......"

Cui Hengyue stopped, and a surprising guess appeared in her mind.

Seeing that Mrs. Cui's expression did not change, Cui Hengyue told the truth in one sentence: "Auntie, are you also doubting that that is not the biological daughter of the fourth aunt?"

As a mother, she knows the mother's mood best. Mrs. Cui had already made such a guess after hearing the conversation between Mrs. Cui and the Queen Mother.

Mrs. Cui nodded hesitantly.

"Is there any evidence?" Cui Hengyue asked again.

Mrs. Cui shook her head.

Seeing Cui Hengyue lowering his head in deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking, Mrs. Cui suddenly said: "Although the fourth son is a concubine, he is backed by the Duke of Jingguo. He is also born upright and has a gentle temper. He was very popular in the capital at that time.

"I once guessed that the child might be a romantic debt caused by the fourth child outside. Tian didn't know about it at first, but later she was discovered by Tian. Tian was so angry..."

Cui Hengyue looked up, looking surprised, and then fell into deep thought.

After a long while, she shook her head: "No...if she is a daughter from an outer chamber, she is not even a concubine. Why would her grandmother and the Queen Mother be so angry when she died and even marry the fourth bedroom?"

Designate it as a forbidden area and imprison them for more than ten years?"

Mrs. Cui was silent for a moment: "Maybe... the old lady and the Queen Mother just want to use this excuse to punish the fourth child."

This explanation... seems reasonable. After all, Cui Si is a concubine, and his biological mother is a thorn in the old lady's side. Given this opportunity, the old lady will naturally hold on to him and punish him to death.

The Queen Mother is the old lady's biological daughter, so she will naturally help the old lady.

Thinking about it this way, Cui Si is a pitiful person.

No, the most pitiful person is Tian.

Her own child was abandoned, and she raised her wholeheartedly. In the end, she discovered that the child she loved was not her own flesh and blood, but the child her husband had had with someone else.

One can imagine how angry and painful Tian was at that time.

"Auntie!"

There was a trace of doubt in Cui Hengyue's eyes: "Does the old lady hate my fourth uncle?"

Hearing this question, Mrs. Cui was in a daze: "It should be said that what the old lady hates is the biological mother of the fourth child - Luo Shi.

"Back then, Luo was born into a poor family, but he had outstanding talents and gentle temperament, and was deeply loved by the Duke. The old lady was jealous and always regarded Luo as a thorn in her side.

"In order to suppress Luo Shi, the old lady secretly arranged many beauties for the Duke of Guo, but the one that the Duke of Guo valued most was Luo Shi.

"After Luo Shi gave birth to a son, the Duke of Guo loved him even more. The old lady failed to deal with Luo Shi several times, and she was severely warned by the Duke of Guo. Therefore, the old lady wanted to kill him and then get away with it.

"Later, Luo died, and the old lady transferred her hatred to her son.

"The old lady loves the queen mother and the third child the most. They also have a very good relationship with the old lady. As long as the third child speaks, the old lady will definitely satisfy him.

"As long as the old lady opens her mouth, the Queen Mother will definitely satisfy the old lady..."

When Cui Hengyue left the big room, she felt a little complicated.

On the way back to Jinglan Garden, the guards in the mansion were still searching for the assassin. She observed calmly and returned to her room as if nothing had happened.

"Yuan Niang, you are back."

Hongju looked shocked: "Those guards just rushed into our yard like a fierce man and searched everywhere, saying that there was an assassin in the house.

"We talk about catching assassins from time to time. Is the defense of Duke Jingguo so weak?"

Hearing this, Shui Rong immediately shouted: "How could the status of Duke Jingguo allow you to criticize me like this? Stand down!"

Hongju had never seen Shui Rong speak so harshly. She was shocked and wanted to defend herself, but when she saw Shui Rong's sharp eyes, she felt guilty.

It was indeed her inappropriate words.

"I made a mistake, please Yuanniang, please forgive me. I will step aside immediately." Hongju saluted and left the room.

As soon as she left, Shui Fu pulled Cui Hengyue into the inner room.

Shui Rong glanced outside, then stopped at the curtain of the inner room, looked outside, and listened to the conversation in the inner room with her ears pricked up.

"Yuan Niang, were you discovered by the old lady in the fourth room? How did you escape?" Shui Fu asked her most concerned question as soon as she entered the inner room.

Cui Hengyue's words were concise and concise: "It's not my grandmother, it's my grandfather, but my aunt helped me and my grandfather didn't realize it was me."

"Madam?" Shui Fu looked surprised.

A trace of surprise flashed across Shui Rong's face and then she returned to calmness. With the eldest lady's love for Yuan Niang, she might not help her.

"Yes, auntie said she would help me. It will be easier for us to do things in the future."

Cui Hengyue's words reassured Shui Fu and Shui Rong. After all, Mrs. Cui is currently in charge of the central feeder and is a powerful helper.

"Grandpa helped my fourth uncle out today. Grandma must have a grudge. It won't be long before she takes further action. Keep an eye on her and don't miss any clues..."

Cui Hengyue carefully asked Shui Fu, made some new arrangements, called Shui Rong in, and said to her: "Go and do something for me... We will know in a few days whether Hong Jue sincerely surrenders to her."
