2137 So there’s this layer
“Eh? How could it be spread like this? The Bai family’s eldest son, the Prince of Donglin, died of illness a few years ago. He was already married and had a child. If he had died of illness when he left the village, then who was the Prince all these years?” Gu Xin was stunned as she asked.
“That’s why I’m not sure if it’s true.” Bai Yi smiled and said, ” third miss, you know that the people in the village talk about gossip. It’s very mysterious. This subordinate has only heard of it and has never seen it with my own eyes. This subordinate has only stayed in the village until I was eight years old, so I don’t remember much.”
“Oh, alright!” Gu Xin nodded her head. Suddenly, she saw Zheng Qiu sitting beside her. He seemed to have something on his mind. She asked again, ” Xiao Qiu, what’s wrong? ” But he wasn’t used to traveling at night? Do you want to rest?”
“No, there’s no need for that, Xinxin.” Zheng Qiu shook his head. I’m just thinking about something.
“Are you thinking about the case? Don’t think too much, I’ll be there when you arrive, and no one will dare to stop you from examining the corpse.” Gu Xin thought that Zheng Qiu was worried that the people from the Donglin royal family would stop her from doing anything.
“Not this. Actually, I want to say that I know the Bai family’s young mistress.” Zheng Qiu said as he looked at Dong Xue, who was drowsy.
“The Bai family’s young mistress? She was the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the king of Dong Lin. How did you know him?” Gu Xin asked curiously.
“Her surname is Zheng. She is the eldest daughter of the current Marchioness of Yong an.” Zheng Qiu did not know that Bai Yi knew her identity, so he said vaguely, ” I heard that the king of Dong Lin and the late Marquis of Yong ‘an were good Brothers on the battlefield. The two planned to arrange a prenatal marriage for their child, but there were no girls in the Marquis of Yong’ an’s residence. At that time, the daughter of the King of Dong Lin had not been born. The two of them agreed to let their eldest grandson and granddaughter get married. Anyway, their first grandson only needed to be of different gender and be of the same age. In the end, the daughter of the King of Dong Lin was born, and the sons of the Marquis of Yong an were all old. The eldest son of the Marquis of Yong an gave birth to a son, and the eldest son of the king of Dong Lin gave birth to a son. Two years later, the eldest son of the late Marquis of Yong an gave birth to a daughter, so the two families exchanged tokens.”
“Later, the girl who was engaged was gone and the marriage was given to the eldest daughter of the current Marquis of Yong ‘an’s second wife.”
Gu Xin looked at Zheng Qiu in shock.
That’s why, Xiao Qiu, you were engaged when you were born. If it weren’t for all the schemes and plots, you would have been the princess of Donglin in the future if things went on as planned!
Tsk tsk tsk
No wonder the Marchioness of Yong an is trying her best to get rid of you, so there’s this reason.
then, do you know what kind of person the eldest young mistress is? ” Gu Xin asked.
“I probably know a little! Her appearance and personality are extremely similar to the current Madam of the Marquis of Yong an.” Zheng Qiu said sternly.
Alright, Gu Xin understood. This meant that she was not someone easy to deal with and she had to be careful.
“Since you know about this, do you know the other people in the Donglin royal family?” Gu Xin asked again.
Zheng Qiu was planning to take revenge, and he would not only target the current Madam of the Marquis of Yong ‘an. Madam Zheng was just like her mother, so she must have investigated her before.
Zheng Qiu looked at Bai Yi and Bai er, who were driving the carriage seriously, and then at Dong Xue, who was snoring softly while hugging a cushion.
Gu Xin snapped her fingers and laughed as she closed the curtains of the carriage, ” white shirt and white two, we’re going to rest. You two can take turns. Try to arrive by tomorrow morning. It’s fine if you can’t arrive by the afternoon.
