Could It Really Be Such a Coincidence?

Zhou Wanwan truly never expected that the Eldest Princess would be manipulated to this extent by such an old man.

At this moment, the eldest princess looked troubled; she didn't know who to trust.

The old lady continued to shout loudly:

"Guards, drag this wretched girl away and give her twenty lashes."

Princess, our whole family is devoted to you; you mustn't be misled by others.

Zhou Wanwan observed the princess's reaction.

If the eldest princess does nothing, she will turn around and leave now.

Her child is none of her business.

So what if she's a princess? Surely she can't be completely brainless?

The eldest princess suddenly said, "This is the eldest princess's residence. Who dares to be so insolent?"

The old lady was startled. Over the years, the princess had never put on airs in front of her, but today she was truly anxious.

The eldest princess stood up, looked at the old matriarch and her second sister-in-law Shen Huizhen, and said:

"Everything should be investigated thoroughly before speaking, and besides, I believe what the little girl said."

"This little girl has done you no wrong, so why would she say such things to frame you?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the eldest princess, who now possessed some of the princess's air about her.

The eldest princess picked up Zhou Wanwan and said, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "Then it's time for us to settle accounts."

In just a short while, those trees have already determined the results.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Shen Huizhen and said:

"It was her wet nurse who did this, and it was also her wet nurse who took the child away."

So all they had to do was call her wet nurse over and ask her where the child had been sent.

As for why she did that?

It's actually very simple. You and your husband only have one child. Once your child is gone, everything in the Princess's residence will Marquis Dingbei's Residence.

Furthermore, the prince consort might also have been killed by them.

The princess's face turned pale. She clutched her chest and staggered backward.

Seeing that her expression was off, Zhou Wanwan quickly helped her up and said, "Take this pill."

The lady-in-waiting beside her looked at the princess and said, "No."

Without the slightest hesitation, the princess swallowed the medicine from Zhou Wanwan's porcelain bottle.

The female official beside Zhou Wanwan asked, "What kind of medicine is this? Will it be harmful to the Princess?"

Zhou Wanwan waved her hand and said, "Your eldest princess has a heart condition and cannot get too excited. This medicine can alleviate it."

Sure enough, the princess sat down in the chair, panting heavily, but her complexion was slowly returning to normal.

The old lady shouted loudly:

"This is utter nonsense! Someone, help! Are they all dead?"

"Pull her away right now! This child is clearly a threat to the Princess."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said:

"It has never been me who wanted to harm the Princess, but you."

On the surface, you pretend to be very caring and attentive to the Princess, but what have you been doing behind her back?

The old lady's men had long been subdued by Zhou Wanwan's people.

Zhou Wanwan said, "Bring up Shen Huizhen's wet nurse."

Soon, Shen Huizhen's wet nurse was brought up.

She looked at Shen Huizhen and said, "Second Madam, why did you summon this old servant?"

The eldest princess looked at her and said, "Where have you taken my son?"

The wet nurse paused, looking at Shen Huizhen, when the princess shouted, "What are you looking at her for?"

The wet nurse trembled and said, "Your Highness, this old servant truly does not understand what you are saying."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said:

"Are you unable to understand what she's saying, or are you afraid to speak up? What exactly did you do back then?"

Have you completely forgotten? Let me help you remember.

When the eldest princess gave birth, the matriarch ordered all the people around her to be removed.

Nanny Huang took the child into the second room, and you took advantage of this time to carry the child and head to the countryside.

It's not that I can't deduce where the child is now; I'm giving you the opportunity to tell me yourself.

After all, if we find out, you'll be guilty of deceiving the emperor, a crime punishable by the extermination of your entire family.

Upon hearing this, the wet nurse turned pale, and she was about to speak.

Shen Huizhen was standing nearby, said loudly:

"What exactly does the princess mean? You're just trying to frame me and drive me to my death!"

"Then I'll die now to prove my innocence."

Shen Huizhen rushed straight outside, but suddenly her body became immobile.

Zhou Wanwan said indifferently, "Madam Shen, you might not be able to die now even if you wanted to. Once the truth is found, things will be handled as they are."

Shen Huizhen shouted, "What is this thing? Zhaoyang, tell her to let me go!"

Zhaoyang was the title of the eldest princess.

Grand Princess Zhaoyang smiled indifferently and said, "Then so be it! Once the truth is revealed, you will receive the punishment you deserve."

The eldest princess looked at the wet nurse and said, "You'd better tell the truth..."

The wet nurse's son shouted, "Mother, tell us! If you don't, our whole family will be doomed! Please!"

"Grandma, sob sob... I'm so scared, I don't want to die."

The wet nurse closed her eyes and said:

"Yes, I took her away. Back then, the second madam told me to abandon the child in the countryside, and I... I had my sister send her to the countryside."

I really don't know where that child is now.

"Then call your sister over and ask her what happened."

The wet nurse's sister was quickly brought up, and the woman trembled with fear.

"I... I took him to Dongshan Prefecture, to a remote village. I... I only know that it's called Zhou Family Village."

I left the child at someone's doorstep, but there was still silver in the child's arms. I had put 100 taels of silver in the child's arms. I was actually scared too!

Princess, have mercy! My sister gave our family 100 taels of silver, and I didn't spend a single penny; I gave it all to that child.

I believe that family will treat him well. Please, for the sake of the 100 taels of silver I gave them, spare me!

"Hmm? Dongshan Prefecture? Zhou Family Village?"

The woman nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, I was afraid I would forget, so I asked several people."

That place is called Zhou Family Village. If you go looking for it now, you'll definitely find it.

Zhou Wanwan was speechless. "It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

The eldest princess looked at her and said, "Ah? Wanwan, what did you say? What's such a coincidence?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the princess and said, "Wait for me here, I'll be right back."

Zhou Wanwan grabbed Zhou Fusheng, who was eating at the banquet outside, and pulled him up.

Zhou Fusheng was enjoying his meal immensely!

The banquet at the Princess's residence was absolutely delicious, but he recognized the seafood; wasn't this their takeout?

I never expected that the Princess's residence would also have their takeout service.

But their takeout is really good now, all seafood feasts, especially the king crab, which is huge and has tender meat.

Everyone was amazed.

This meal must have cost at least a thousand taels of silver.
