When Qin Jiu was taken back to the capital last year, the Marquis and the Empress adopt a consistent attitude towards the whole change as they publicly told everyone that Qin Jiu went missing on the way to exile fourteen years ago. And for more than a decade since she went missing, it was briefly mentioned that she was adopted by a couple, and no one knew what her past was like.
The people in the capital could guess that Empress Wei does not want people to talk about Qin Jiu’s past, so no one mention it, but now that the Xu family has made a scene, it was conceivable that all kinds of rumors would only intensify, and it would surely get uglier.
Even if Gu Zezhi doesn’t dislike Qin Jiu, no matter where Qin Jiu goes in the future, he would be suspicious.
In this life, her reputation would have flaws.
Xu momo hesitated if she should intervene or not, so she quietly winked at Qin Zeyu, hoping that he could persuade Qin Jiu to enter the mansion and leave it to them here.
However, Qin Zeyu was staring fiercely at Madam Zhang, unaware of this secret signal.
At the same time, Qin Jiu looked at Madam Zhang and said, “Oh? Then I need to ask for the bride price letter and Geng tie, whose last name was written, who are the parents, and what is the date of birth?”
Madam Zhang traveled a thousand miles to the capital, so, of course, she wouldn’t come empty-handed nor was she afraid of all these people watching her. She took out the bride price letter from her sleeve and read it aloud, “Li Erya, father Li Jinzhu, mother Zhao Aman, birth date is Xinchou, eight characters is Jiawu, Gengchen, and Jimao.”
Seeing that Madam Zhang took out the bride price letter many onlookers around were swayed once again.
If this bride price was not made up, then the person who lied was Third Miss Qin!
The eyes of these gossipers looking at Qin Jiu were strange once again, some people even questioned, some were outraged, some were contemptuous, and some were waiting to watch the excitement.
“Xinchou, eight characters are Jiawu, Gengchen, and Jimao” Qin Jiu mumbled repeatedly and as if she thought of something, she stroked her hand and said, “So you are talking about her!”
“Madam Zhang, you have the wrong person.” Qin Jiu looked squarely at Madam Zhang and pointed at the bride price in her hand, “The Li Erya you are looking for is now in the second prince’s residence.”
Madam Zhang: “!”
The people around them all seemed to be choked by their necks, completely silent, and once again startled by Qin Jiu’s words.
What did Third Miss Qin just say?!
These people feel that the plot of today’s play were simply full of twists and turns with so many climaxes causing their brains to overloaded.
Qin Jiu looked at Madam Zhang with a smile, her eyes were clear and bright.
Ten years ago, after Li Jinzhu and Zhao Aman sent Qin Xin to the Marquis Mansion, in order to prevent the secret from being discovered, the original owner has lived as Qin Xin, who was the legal daughter of the Li’s, for the past ten years, all information about her, even the registration was under Qin Xin.
Therefore, Qin Jiu firmly believes that this bride price letter and Geng Tie must be consistent with the household registration.
Since Qin Xin was so “interested” in the Xu family’s mother and son, then this mother and son should be given back to Qin Xin.
After a brief surprise, Xu momo and Du Ruo also regained their senses.
Although they didn’t know Qin Xin’s legitimate birth date, it was different for Qin Jiu, they know which year, month, and day she was born. The birth date written on the bride price letter was two months older than Qin Jiu’s, so this must be Qin Xin’s correct birthdate.
Qin Jiu remained smiling as she repeated to Madam Zhang, “Madam Zhang, the person on your bride price letter is now the second prince’s concubine.”
Madam Zhang was still a little confused, and murmured suspiciously, “I found the wrong person?”
With how convincing and unwavering Qin Jiu’s words were, Madam Zhang felt a bit uncertain, not to mention, she also felt that the Qin Jiu in front of her didn’t seem to be quite the Li Erya she had met in Jiangyu County.
From what she remembered, Li Erya was half-head shorter than the noble purpled-clothed girl in front of her, also Li Erya’s skin was dark and yellow, she was also timid and no matter how her appearance or temperament changed, this one in front of her was a completely different person.
Madam Zhang’s heart was filled with uncertainty.
The letter they received stated that Li Erya was now wealthy and recognized as the marquis young miss, moreover, she also obtained a great marriage. The letter also gave them Li Erya’s address.
That’s right, that letter clearly said it was here.
“Yes, you’re looking for the wrong person.” Qin Jiu nodded with certainty and ‘kindly’ pointed Madam Zhang in the right direction, “The second prince’s residence is on Dasun Street, south of the city.”
“Don’t make trouble in here, or else, don’t blame me for reporting it to the officials.” Qin Jiu casually stroked her sleeve.
Meanwhile, the servant quickly led the horse and handed them over to the steward. The chief steward immediately got on his horse, cupped his hand, and said, “Third Miss Qin, I’m going to Jiangzhao right now.”
“Wait!” Madam Zhang was frightened and hurriedly tried to call out to the Steward, and then put the bride price letter in front of Qin Jiu, “Is this really not your birth date?”
Qin Jiu said calmly, “I was born in the seventh month of the year, and I haven’t reached my hairpin ceremony yet*.”
(*marriageable age, 15 years old)
Madam Zhang stared blankly at Qin Jiu’s hairstyle then a thought woke her, suddenly everything became clearer and she finally understood.
That’s right, Li Erya must have moved!
Didn’t someone say just now that the brothers and sister of the Qin family were kicked out of the Marquis’s house by their uncle not long ago? Perhaps they moved in after Li Erya moved out.
It was all because of the unclear writing in the letter which caused them to find the wrong person.
So, it turned out that the Li couple sent Li Erya to become a concubine at the Second Prince’s residence, indeed, they really flew up to the branch to become a phoenix.
Just like the saying, porcelain does not touch rotten tiles.
They were the rotten tiles, and Qin Xin was porcelain, as long as they, the mother and son go to the second prince’s residence to make a fuss, surely for his reputation, the second prince would not mind giving them little benefits to shut their mouths.
And maybe, he could give her husband an official position!
The more Madam Zhang thought about it, the more she couldn’t wait and visit the second prince’s residence. She immediately grabbed her foolish son, and said with a smile to Qin Jiu, “Aiya, this girl, it’s all because I was confused and actually got the wrong person!
