FSC [QT] Chapter 92.4

In that dream, she saw a woman, a woman with a big belly, who was pushed into a different room with her to give birth in a panic. Her face strangely overlapped with her daughter Ling Zhuo.

They were both thin and beautiful, especially the almond-shaped eyes. No matter how good a sculptor was, he could not carve two pairs of eyes that looked so similar.

Because of that dream, Mrs. Fan fell into an unprecedented painful struggle.

On the one hand, she didn’t want to conclude that Ling Zhuo was not her daughter just because of a dream that she herself couldn’t be sure was real and was only a memory deep in her mind.

On the other hand, she was worried that she might have really given birth to the wrong child and that her biological daughter might be suffering in a place she couldn’t see.

Moreover, if the legitimate daughter of the Marquis’s mansion was taken away by mistake, it would be a joke and a scandal if it were made public. It might very well become a handle for the Second Madam and the Old Madam to attack the Eldest Madam.

Did she really want to reinvestigate what happened back then just for groundless speculation?

Between interests and maternal love, Mrs. Fan finally chose to be true to her heart. If her suspicion was true, she would never let her child wander around.

The child was a premature baby born in the seventh month. If it was taken away by mistake, without the conditions of the Marquis’ Mansion, would she not survive the first few years? Would she still be sick and bullied in places where she could not see?

These were all things that made Mrs. Fan feel distressed.

She found a few maids who accompanied her to the temple that year. Now those maids had long been married to other people and were the mothers of several children. They were no longer serving Mrs. Fan.

When Mrs. Fan called them to ask about the events of the year, most of the maids said that they could not remember clearly, but one maid could recite what happened that day by heart as if she often recited the answers in her mind so that her memory was very clear.

Mrs. Fan deceived her and directly mentioned the woman who appeared in the dream who looked like her daughter Ling Zhuo.

The maid’s eyes suddenly darkened, and Mrs. Fan saw the suspicious point.

Because it concerned her own daughter, Mrs. Fan used cruel means and ordered her maid to torture that maid and force her to confess.

Under the torture, the maid revealed the shocking news that Ling Zhuo was not Mrs. Fan’s daughter.

This maid named Lu Yi was Mrs. Fan’s dowry maid. Because she learned some medical skills, Mrs. Fan’s mother specially added her to the dowry maid to guard against the stepmother who had no good intentions toward the first branch.

At that time, Mrs. Fan was not favored because of her pretentious attitude. Ling Yaodong also had a maid who grew up with him. The maid was the daughter of the loyal wet nurse left by his biological mother.

In the second year after Mrs. Fan married the Marquis of Changping’s Mansion and gave birth to a legitimate son, Ling Yaodong took the woman as a concubine and doted on her very much.

Mrs. Fan was raised to be a clan’s main wife since she was a child. She was broad-minded and could accept her husband having many concubines and children, but she could not accept a woman in the backyard who monopolized her husband’s favor.

So, she selected two of the best-looking maids from her dowry and sent them to her husband Ling Yaodong.

Lu Yi had long admired her master’s husband. When she learned that Mrs. Fan was going to choose a concubine from the dowry maids, she was confident that Mrs. Fan would choose her.

But who would have thought that in the end, she was not among the candidates chosen by Mrs. Fan? This made Lu Yi secretly hate Mrs. Fan.

At the Wenquxing Temple, she wanted to kill Mrs. Fan and her fetus, but she was also afraid that the Fan and Ling families would be furious and let the maids who did not take good care of their masters be buried with them.

Especially for her, a maid who knew some medical skills, she would definitely be severely punished.

It happened at that time, a woman in the next room had a hemorrhage and was looking for a doctor. After seeing that the woman also gave birth to a daughter prematurely, Lu Yi had an idea.

Taking advantage of the chaos and her ability to walk openly between the two delivery rooms, she successfully swapped the two children.

She wanted Mrs. Fan to love a girl born in a humble family and treat her like a pearl, while her own daughter had to live in the home of poor civilians and be despised.
