Ling Shan followed Steward Hao and walked along the long corridor of the Chen Mansion slowly. It was a bit desolate inside. However, because spring came, it was full of spring. It made the Mansion of Chen a little bit more lively.
There were not many servants in the house. Ling Shan didn't see many of them. No wonder she needed a steward from the house to greet them.
Actually, Ling Shan did not know that Chu Moxi liked peace and quiet. If these people were not the old people from the Chen Prince's Hall, she would not have let them stay.
After walking through one corridor after another, they finally arrived at a courtyard.
The two words' Pavilion of Love 'were written on the courtyard. Ling Shan raised her head and looked at the dilapidated courtyard. Could it be that this was where Princess Chen lived?
"Third Madam, please. Our wangfei will be waiting for you inside." When Butler Hao turned around and saw that Ling Shan was standing there without moving, he immediately warned her.
"En!" Ling Shan nodded and followed Butler Hao.
The moment he stepped into the courtyard, he saw a purple figure lying on a rocking chair. Lian'er was standing beside him.
"Ling Shan greets you, Crown Princess!" Ling Shan immediately bowed to Chu Moxi, and the maidservants behind her followed suit and bowed.
"Lian'er, quickly help the Third Madam up. Butler Hao, move her over." Chu Moxi sat up in the rocking chair and said to Lian'er.
Lian'er immediately came over to help Ling Shan up. "Third Madam, please get up."
"Butler Hao had already moved the seats over. Ling Shan didn't delay and sat down." "Thank you, your highness!"
"Lian'er, take the maid of the third lady and go to our house." Chu Mo Xi's eyes swept over them.
"Yes sir!" Lian'er immediately left with Zi Yuan. Housekeeper Hao sensibly followed behind them.
After Lian'er and the rest had left, Chu Moxi slowly stood up and said, "Third Madam, can you tell me about the matter regarding Senior Ling Yao?" Third Wife knows about Senior Ling Yao, then does she also know about Senior Ling Yao's daughter?
Then, her promise to that Senior Ling Yao would be fulfilled without a hitch.
Ling Shan gave Chu Moxi a strange look. Wasn't she a little too calm?
"Princess, I met Yao Yao sixteen years ago. At that time, my family was ruined, and I was taken in by Yao Yao. She was only a sixteen year old girl. She is currently looking for her lover, Chu Yun. Yao Yao and I have been searching for a long time, and finally we found that person within the borders of the Mu Spirit Empire. It just so happened that a senior took a fancy to my talent and wanted to take me away. I did not accompany her to meet the man. But before I left, I stole a glance at the man.
I didn't contact Yaoyao following Master to study until twelve years later, when I came back from Master's place to look for Yaoyao, I couldn't find her no matter what.
In the end, I found the man. He wasn't Chu Yun, but the Mu Ling Kingdom's Duke Chu.
I investigated for a long time, but I couldn't find any information regarding Yao Yao from Duke Chu, so I decided to enter the Duke Chu's mansion to investigate.
Thus, three years ago, she had entered the Duke's Mansion as the third concubine.
After several twists and turns, I finally found some clues about Yao Yao. Within the Duke Chu Mansion, there is actually a little girl that looks exactly like Yao Yao … " At this point, Ling Shan's gaze fell on Chu Moxi.
Chu Moxi frowned, "In other words, you didn't find any information regarding Senior Ling Yao?" Who was that teenage girl? Senior Ling Yao's daughter? "
"Lingshan would like to ask, Princess, what is your mother's name?" Ling Shan stared at Chu Moxi. Why didn't she know her mother's name? And she's even calling Yao Yao Senior for Senior Ling Yao?
"Mother? "Then …" Chu Moxi frowned. In her memory, there was only one woman, and it seemed like that person was her mother. However, she did not know her name.
"Royal Concubine, Ling Shan is certain that Chu Mingjing is Chu Yun. Yao Yao must be your mother, because you look exactly like her … " Ling Shan looked at this person in front of her, who looked exactly the same as she remembered. She remembered that they had agreed to live together again in the future.
"No …" Chu Moxi staggered. Was it like this? Senior Ling Yao is her mother?
If Chu Mingjing was really Chu Yun, then only Chu Mingjing knew whether she was the daughter of Senior Ling Yao or not.
After a long while, Chu Moxi raised her head, "How do I know if you're lying or not?" Her eyes swept across Ling Shan's body. Ling Shan had been mysterious all day, so she couldn't completely trust her words.
"Do I need to lie to you?" As Ling Shan spoke, she took out a handkerchief from her storage ring. On the handkerchief were two thin words. When Chu Moxi saw those two words, she immediately understood that Ling Shan was not lying.
Those were the traces of Senior Ling Yao's notes that she had seen on tombstones and in tombs.
"I... "I once obtained something from her …" As she said this, she opened the palm of her hand. There was a jade letter on it, the one she had obtained in the tomb.
Ling Shan trembled as she used her fingertip to retrieve the jade letter from Chu Moxi's palm. Her mind searched for the jade letter …
Ling Shan's face was covered in tears as she finished looking at the jade slip. "Yao Yao, why are you so stupid …"
"Where is she?" Ling Shan's voice was almost unable to speak.
"It's not good to go now. Once things are clear, I'll bring you over to take a look …" "She." Chu Moxi's heart clenched in pain.
"Good!" "I'll go back today and take care of Chu Mingjing …" Ling Shan's voice was laced with hatred.
"No, Aunt Shan, you can return as usual. Let Xi'er handle Chu Mingjing." Chu Moxi's word 'Aunt Shan' represented her acknowledgement of Ling Shan.
"Xi Er …" Ling Shan was on the verge of tears. After staying in the Duke Chu Mansion for three years, she had finally heard Xi Er call her 'Aunt Shan'.
"Aunt Shan, don't worry. Xi'er will let Chu Mingjing reflect on his actions." She was the daughter of her mother, so how could she say that she was of Chu Mingjing's bloodline? Hadn't it been cut off by Chu Ming earlier? Chu Ming was just a stranger to her, so she definitely wouldn't let him off.
"Alright …" Ling Shan's eyes were filled with joy. If Yao Yao knew that her daughter was so slim, she would be so happy!
"Aunt Shan, you can go back and tell Chu Mingjing that as long as it's someone who has enmity with Chu Moxi, I'll hand it over. I can consider matters regarding the Duke Chu Family." They were considering whether they should destroy the Duke's Mansion or just kill a few more important corners.
"Alright!" Ling Shan immediately agreed.
After staying in the Prince's Mansion for a while, Ling Shan brought her maid back to the Duke's Mansion.
Ling Shan passed on Chu Mo Xi's request to Chu Ming and then returned to her own Spirit Mountain courtyard.
"Are you saying that after the third lady reported to the guard of the House of Chen, that guard went straight in to report and then came out to greet the guard, Steward Hao from the House of Chen?" Chu Mingjing stared at Lin Xuan and asked.
"Yes." Lin Xuan nodded his head.
"Did you hear what she told the guard?" Chu Mingjing frowned. It was strange for the third wife to enter the Duke Chen Palace so easily!
"This subordinate is incompetent!" Lin Xuan lowered his head. He was afraid that the people in the House of Chen would notice, so he didn't dare to be too close to them.
"Oh!" "Then it's okay." Chu Mingjing laughed in his heart. He had been overthinking things. Other than the third wife asking for an audience with the Duke Chu Palace, what else could she say?
