Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

Chapter 226 The Truth of Every Step

Old Madam Gu still had some recollection of this incident. She sighed and nodded, "That's right. Back then, when Prince Zhao wanted to remarry, we were worried that the consort would mistreat Xiao'er, so we discussed with Prince Zhao and decided to choose a princess. You, along with the second and third sons, were in charge of collecting the names of the ladies. It was you who handed over Wang's name card."

Chang chuckled and dropped a bombshell in the calmest tone, "What mother doesn't know is that this name card was actually given to me by Grandpa."

Madam Gu was shocked, "What!"

When the old man of the Gu family heard this, he jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, rushed to Chang and grabbed her neck.

Just like when Chang pinched Jiang Lige today, he used exactly the same posture.

The old man of the Gu family glared and roared, "Chang, you vicious woman! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Chang's face turned purple as she was pinched by Uncle Gu. She couldn't utter a word and could only hit Uncle Gu with her hands to express her suffocation.

Jiang Lige watched the show coldly for a while, and just before Chang was strangled to death by the old man of the Gu family, he slammed the table to stop the farce.

"Someone, come here! Separate these two!"

As soon as Jiang Lige finished speaking, he saw four people flying down from the roof outside. They were wearing black iron armor and were obviously the Xuantian Guards beside Ning Yunxiao.

Xuantianwei walked forward without saying a word and separated the two men, then pressed the old man of the Gu family to the ground.

At this moment, Madam Gu no longer cared about whether she was an outsider or not. She stood up excitedly and asked Chang: "What is the relationship between Wang and the boss?"

The hideous look on the Gu family's face just now completely wiped out the last bit of attachment that Chang had in her heart. She covered her red and swollen neck with her hands, feeling hopeless.

"Mrs. Wang has no relationship with you. It was Prince Zhao who had an affair with her long ago, so he asked you to send Ms. Wang's name card to the Gu family. In return, after Ms. Wang successfully married into Prince Zhao's palace, Prince Zhao helped you, which led to your promotion."

The sudden twists and turns of the truth made Old Lady Gu so angry that she almost fell backwards. Fortunately, Jiang Lige supported her in time and she was able to stand steadily.

"So, Prince Zhao used you to marry Wang into his family?" Jiang Lige keenly grasped the key point. "So, it turns out that Your Highness's suffering at the hands of his vicious stepmother was destined from the very beginning."

When she thought about Ning Yunxiao's bleak childhood, which was caused by herself, Old Lady Gu covered her chest with her hands and regretted her past actions. The old lady who had been strong all her life actually burst into tears.

Then, Old Lady Gu asked with trembling lips, "What about the aborted child? What happened?"

Chang smiled nonchalantly, too lazy to even kneel, and simply sat cross-legged in the hall, seemingly reminiscing.

"That year, Wang Shi became pregnant and came to me. She said she had a way to help us improve our status in the Gu Mansion. At that time, I had always dreamed of living a better life, so I agreed without a second thought.

Then, Wang asked me to pretend to be pregnant and gave Ning Yunxiao some crazy drug. He would have an attack as soon as I went there. Then I would pretend to have a miscarriage and find a doctor to diagnose that it was an injury that caused infertility.

This way, Wang can give birth to the child without any worries, and I can also get the compensation from the Gu family, which means the years of luxury and the right to speak in the Gu family."

Upon hearing this, Madam Gu's legs went weak and she fell to the ground, her cloudy eyes filled with regret and tears.

The wound that had long since healed was ripped open at this moment, and beneath the bloody mess, hidden...

It was the Gu family who were blind and deaf, and were being taken advantage of without realizing it.

It was also Ning Yunxiao's young cries and the deep and shallow scars all over his body.

The words that Jiang Lige had said to Old Madam Gu during Ning Yunxiao's coming-of-age ceremony were like a needle that had been buried deep in Old Madam Gu's heart.

Now it is like a wildly growing vine, spreading to every part of her body, making Madam Gu suffer terribly!

That day, Jiang Lige said.

"The year he was crowned the Crown Prince, Wang Shi staged a fake robbery to secure the throne for her son. The Crown Prince was on the brink of death for ten days, narrowly escaping death.

The prince was no fool, he knew it better than anyone else, but he knew even more clearly that he could not defeat the Wang family because he had nothing behind him.

Finally, Zhaohua also has something to ask the old lady. If the princess were still alive, and saw the child she risked her life to give birth to, the child she cherished like a treasure, being treated so poorly by you, do you think... would she be sad?

In the past, whenever Mrs. Gu thought of Jiang Lige’s questioning, she could use the events of many years ago as a fig leaf.

She lied to herself and said that all her past laziness, indifference and harm towards Ning Yunxiao was because he had done something wrong.

But now?

Now, we know that Ning Yunxiao did not do anything wrong from beginning to end, but was pushed off the cliff step by step by the so-called "kindness" of the Gu family, and it was the Gu family who finally cut the only rope on the cliff.

When the truth comes to light, even if she sacrifices her life, she will not be able to undo the grievances Ning Yunxiao has suffered over the years.

She felt sorry for Ning Yunxiao, and she had no face to face her daughter in the afterlife.

Thinking of this, Madam Gu couldn't control her emotions for a moment, and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fell down!

"Old lady!"

The fainting of Old Lady Gu threw the entire Gu family into chaos, and the truth that had been buried for many years became unimportant.

At this moment, Jiang Lige didn't bother to deal with Chang and the others anymore. He quickly ordered Xuantian Guards to rush into the palace to invite Shi Daizhi to see Old Madam Gu.

No matter what, Old Madam Gu is an elder who still has kindness towards Ning Yunxiao despite many misunderstandings. Jiang Lige cannot let anything happen to her.

……

Shi Daizhi was brought here by Xuantian Guards on fast horses. Although he vomited all over the place when he dismounted, it did not affect his professionalism.

Taking the pulse, examining the patient, and giving medicine, all in an orderly manner.

According to Shi Daizhi's diagnosis, Mrs. Gu vomited blood due to a sudden anger attack. She will be fine after taking good care of herself for a period of time and there is no need to worry too much.

After learning that Old Lady Gu was fine, Jiang Lige couldn't stay any longer. Although the misunderstanding was resolved, these were still Gu family affairs after all. It wasn't her turn as a foreign princess to deal with them, not to mention...

She believed that once Old Madam Gu was better, she would naturally give Ning Yunxiao an explanation.

If she interferes, it will be bad.

Now that the Gu family was fine, she had to find trouble while Prince Zhao's Mansion was still unaware...

Oh no, I'm off to do some work.

Even if the dowry left by Ning Yunxiao's mother was lost or donated, it would not be fed to a shameless ungrateful person like Wang.
