"The box?" Taken aback, Yu Chun denoted, "My lady, what's wrong with the box? I specifically asked for it.""Where did you get it?" Qu Moying asked."I-I took it from outside, but I asked someone to do it. I couldn't find a suitable box in here when I wanted to tidy up the things, so I asked an old maid at the embroidery workshop to fetch a box for me," Yu Chun answered."Did you specifically ask for it? Did you tell them what you were going to use it for?" Qu Moying asked after a pause."I think so. When I asked someone to find a box, I told her to look for a slightly prettier one to keep your old things. When she brought it back, she told me that it was specially made by the embroidery workshop. It was pretty and well crafted but a little small, so I personally sent it back to the workshop to make it bigger."Yu Chun replied."When you did it, did you tell them about what you would keep in it and

"I-I didn't..." After being interrogated repeatedly by Qu Moying, Yu was extremely aggrieved for being retorted back at every instance. Yu was already weak, and now she was angry to the point that the taste of blood appeared in her mouth. She clasped her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood."Madam!" Hai Lan rushed over in panic and cried out."What's going on?" Qu Zhizhen's voice suddenly came from the door. Qu Moying took a step back and gave a deep bow to Qu Zhizhen."Father!""Why are you here?" Qu Zhizhen glanced at Qu Moying and asked indifferently."I came to visit Second Madam," Qu Moying answered. She had never called Yu mother, always Second Madam. The Old Lady, Qu Zhizhen, and even Yu had never raised any objection at the address."Second Master, Fourth Lady irritated Madam so much that Madam fainted," Hai Lan immediately complained with tears in her eyes as soon as she saw Qu Zhizhen.

"Sir, we are not lying. If you don't believe us, you can ask the villagers about it. The year our daughter disappeared was when Fourth Lady was seriously ill. I-If my daughter had not been taken away, why would we have said that she disappeared? She replaced the Fourth Lady, who died of disease, and became your daughter."The middle-aged woman, Li, cried loudly as she knelt on the ground."Greetings, Father!" Qu Moying walked in and bowed to Qu Zhizhen."Father, what happened? W-Who are they?" Qu Qiuyan also bowed. Then, she looked up at the couple kneeling on the ground in shock. Her face was full of surprise.Compared to Qu Moying, Qu Zhizhen favored Qu Qiuyan more, so the latter was a little casual when she spoke to him.Qu Zhizhen waved his hand and gestured for his two daughters to get up. "Take your seat!"The two of them obediently sat down on both of his sides."Dear... M-My dea

"Moying, let me take a look!" Qu Qiuyan could not help but speak again.It was hard for Qu Qiuyan to hide the excitement in her eyes. As long as she could prove that Qu Moying was not Father's daughter, everything next would go smoothly, and Mother could be proved innocent from Qu Moying's "accusation".In this case, Qu Qiuyan could blame everything that happened at Crown Princess' funeral on Qu Moying, claiming that everything was plotted by Qu Moying and that Qu Moying framed her and Mother up. Qu Moying did this because she found out that Mother suspected her of not being Father's biological daughter, so she set up such a trap and then claimed that Mother was to blame.With this story, Mother and herself would be off the hook."Take a look? Why? Do you think that I, a dignified lady in Vice Minister's Mansion, should reveal my body for you to check based on some hearsay?"Qu Moying sneered, and her snow-white

"Granny Zhou, did Mother leave these for me?" Qu Moying suddenly stood up and looked at the small package in front of her in shock.There were two reasons why she took Granny Zhou with her. Firstly, Granny Zhou led a difficult life in Earl Ling'an's Mansion. Secondly, Granny Zhou was Second Madam Qu's dowry maid, so Granny Zhou had a good understanding of what happened to Mother.When she came back, Granny Zhou did tell her some things about the past. Back then, Yu gave birth prematurely and blamed it on Mother. After a big quarrel, Qu Zhizhen reprimanded Mother and asked her to go to the convent for a period of time. Though Mother was pregnant at that time, she had no choice but to leave.Because of this, Mother was heartbroken. The sorrow affected her health and led to her premature childbirth. Then, Mother died in difficult labor. Old Lady only managed to see Mother one last time when she rushed over, while the so-called Father did no
