Chapter 104: Where did this slutty bitch come from?

Di Zian couldn’t help but look at Prime Minister Lan, who was getting on in years. Did he understand what Ah Bao had just said?

After all, Ah Bao was only eight months old, and her speech was unclear, with her words coming out one at a time. Could he grasp the meaning?

Prime Minister Lan, however, clearly understood what Ah Bao was implying.

To reach the position of Prime Minister, he couldn’t be dull.

He looked directly at the little girl for the first time. “Little Princess, what did you just say?”

Ah Bao shelled a melon seed and smiled up at him, “Not his… but hers.”

Whew~

This was the first time Ah Bao had spoken so many words clearly.

Prime Minister Lan’s face darkened as he looked at Madam Yang.

Madam Yang’s face had gone pale.

After all their years together, Prime Minister Lan knew Madam Yang well.

“She’s feeling guilty!”

Even though Madam Yang tried her best to hide it, she couldn’t cover up her guilty conscience. “Someone, please! See the guest out! This child keeps talking nonsense. She has no idea what the princess is saying.

A child who is only eight months old, still nursing, should be staying in the palace. What business does she have visiting in the middle of winter?”

Madam Yang muttered under her breath.

With a thud, her legs gave out, and she fell to the ground. She quickly scrambled to her feet.

“Madam!” The Prime Minister, Mr. Lan, spoke with not a hint of concern in his voice, only full of suspicion. “What do you mean by saying Lan Jinjing is your biological daughter, not mine?”

Madam Yang froze, a little dumbfounded.

It wasn’t just her.

Lan Jinjing, Lan Yixuan, and Lan Moxiu were all dumbfounded too.

Such a thing was completely beyond comprehension.

The three of them stared at Madam Yang in unison.

Madam Yang felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. “I… I don’t know what you’re talking about. You don’t really believe what the Tenth Princess said, do you? She’s only eight months old, just a little girl who can’t even walk yet. You can’t be serious about believing her, right?”

She looked at them as if they were a bunch of fools.

The Prime Minister saw Ah Bao, who was casually munching on sunflower seeds. “Tenth Princess, may this humble servant hold you?”

Ah Bao pouted and nodded her little head. “Okay… fine.”

[Considering this old Prime Minister has been deceived so badly, he can hold me.]

[After all, you’re already half a foot in the grave.]

Di Zian: “…”

The Prime Minister looked grateful, carefully cradling Ah Bao. “Tenth Princess, could you explain what just happened in more detail?”

Although it was unlikely that his wish would be granted, given the limited speaking ability of the Tenth Princess, he had absolute faith in her.

Why, you ask?

Over the past half year, the Emperor had been bringing the Tenth Princess to court every day. They were all familiar with her but had never interacted with her privately.

If the Emperor himself was bringing her to court, then the Tenth Princess must have some extraordinary qualities.

This little one might just be the lucky star sent by the heavens to enlighten him.

But Ah Bao was in no mood to talk anymore. She shook her head, her little head wobbling like a rattle drum.

The Prime Minister’s spirits fell.

Madam Yang was delighted.

See? The Tenth Princess knows nothing!

Just as everyone was feeling down, thinking that Ah Bao’s earlier words were just childish babble, Ah Bao’s chubby little hand suddenly shot out and grabbed Madam Yang’s face with swift precision.

*Rip!*

A human skin mask was torn off.

[Why bother talking when you can just see for yourself?]

[Lan Jinjing is a fake daughter of the Prime Minister’s residence, and even this Madam Yang is fake.]

[The Prime Minister has been thoroughly deceived these past few years. His daughter isn’t his, and neither is his wife.]

Everyone: ???

Madam Yang collapsed to the ground.

The Prime Minister’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

This was a completely unfamiliar face.

It wasn’t Madam Yang’s face at all.

“Madam… this isn’t my wife…” The Prime Minister stood there, frozen. His wife didn’t look like this at all.

Madam Yang had come from a scholarly family in Yunshan County. Later, when the Prime Minister was promoted to the capital, she brought their two-year-old son, Lan Moxiu, with her. They had lived in the capital for fifteen years.

The Prime Minister rubbed his eyes hard to make sure he wasn’t seeing things. Once certain he wasn’t going blind, he plopped down on the ground, stunned.

“Moxiu, Moxiu, look, your mother has changed. No, no, she hasn’t changed; why does your mother look like this? No, where is your mother? Where has she gone?” The Prime Minister was so confused that his words started to blur together.

Di Zian finally understood why Ah Bao said earlier that the Prime Minister was already half a foot in the grave.

Look at him.

At his age, how could he handle such a shock?

After sleeping next to his wife for decades, he finds out she isn’t really his wife??

Lan Moxiu, being younger, managed to recover a bit faster. “Who are you, you treacherous woman? Where’s my mother? What have you done with her?”

“I remember you… you’re… Lülüo?” The Prime Minister, trembling, pointed at Lülüo.

To prevent herself from falling out of the Prime Minister’s arms, Ah Bao had already slipped out early and sat on the ground, munching on sunflower seeds and watching the drama unfold.

[Lülüo, right! That’s her name.]

[The old Prime Minister still has a sharp mind.]

[This Lülüo was Madam Yang’s personal maid.]

Di Zian gulped nervously. How did a personal maid suddenly become the Prime Minister’s wife?

The truth was about to be revealed!

“Father, who is Lülüo?” Lan Moxiu was utterly confused.

Everyone present, except for Lülüo, was bewildered.

Lülüo crawled over to the Prime Minister. “My lord, I am your wife, I am!”

“You’re full of nonsense! You think I’m so old that I’m blind? You’re clearly the personal maid Lülüo who served my wife years ago.

Back then, you were sneaky and dishonest, and when my wife discovered you were stealing, she drove you out.”

Hearing this, Lülüo knew she was about to fall into a bottomless pit from which she would never climb out.

“Father, when did this happen?”

The Prime Minister recalled, “It was sixteen years ago. That year, you were just one year old.

We were still living in Yunshan County, and I hadn’t been promoted yet.

At the time, your mother told me about it. Lülüo was her maid, and when she found out about the theft, she was deeply saddened.

What’s more, Lülüo didn’t just steal once. Eventually, your mother realized her character was truly problematic, so she sent her away and even gave her ten taels of silver for travel expenses.”

“Then what about my mother? How did Lülüo… How did she impersonate my mother?”

The Prime Minister was also at a loss.

[Sigh, I just praised the Prime Minister for his sharp mind, and now he’s clueless again.]

【How should I give the old Prime Minister a hint?】

【That heavy rainstorm back then…】

“Prime Minister, think carefully. When you were promoted and Madam Yang came to the capital, was there any natural disaster or accident? Maybe something happened during that time.” Di Zian spoke slowly.
