Third Master also looked upset.
When Mrs. Wang rushed in, there were quite a few maids in the room.
Such a big matter, those maids would have gossiped about it by now.
The Old Madam looked at him and pointed at Mrs. Wang, saying, "Perfect timing, quickly tear off the human skin mask on her face!"
Third Master walked towards Mrs. Wang.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, it was grabbed by Xie Jingchen, "Let’s speak after Grandfather and Father arrive, it’s not too late."
What Mrs. Wang said was too far away from them.
So distant that even Grandfather might not be aware.
For soone skilled in martial arts, killing was too easy.
If he just lightly pressed Mrs. Wang’s temple, she might not live to see Old Prince arrive.
No one could touch this witness.
Xie Jingchen’s interference annoyed Third Master, he flung Xie Jingchen’s hand away, "Even if you are the Heir of Prince Zhenbei, I am still your Third Uncle!"
"Move aside!"
Xie Jingchen stood firm without moving.
Su Jin laughed, "Why the rush, if Mrs. Wang is fake, she won’t beco real under so many eyes."
"In such haste, are you eager to silence her permanently?"
Third Madam looked at Su Jin, "She openly slandered the Old Madam, the Old Madam wants to beat her to death, and you are stopping her."
"This is Qihao Hall, do you juniors have no manners?!"
"Don’t forget, Mrs. Wang’s contract is still in the Old Madam’s hands!"
With the contract in hand, Mrs. Wang was at the rcy of the Old Madam.
Su Jin touched her ear and said, "Weren’t you suspecting she was fake?"
"Can the real Mrs. Wang’s contract control a fake Mrs. Wang?"
"Alright, everyone sit down quietly and wait for Old Prince and Prince, with my husband and I here, today nobody will touch a hair on Mrs. Wang."
"Step forward again, and don’t bla for showing no rcy."
In martial arts, Third Master definitely couldn’t match Xie Jingchen.
When it ca to poisoning, Su Jin could incapacitate a whole room with a wave of her hand.
Without so real skills, how could one survive in this den of danger till now?
In front of the Prince Zhenbei Mansion.
Old Prince and Prince rode back.
When Mrs. Wang left Agarwood Pavilion, she told the maid to quickly find Old Prince and Prince back to the mansion, saying sothing monuntal had happened.
The maid dared not delay and quickly passed the ssage to Manager Li.
Old Prince entered the mansion with a serious expression.
Manager Li greeted him, "Old Prince, Prince, you’re finally back."
Old Prince frowned, "What happened, to call us back in such haste?"
"Sothing of true importance happened this ti," Chief Steward Li said.
"Mrs. Wang claims the Old Madam is fake."
Old Prince’s steps faltered.
"Fake?" he asked, his brow tightly knitted.
"Mrs. Wang claims the current Old Madam is actually the original Old Madam’s twin sister..."
Chief Steward Li didn’t know whether to believe this claim.
He had served Old Prince and Old Madam for over thirty years, and this was the first he had heard of it.
But it seed Mrs. Wang had no reason to lie.
Like Chief Steward Li, Old Prince also held a skeptical attitude towards this because he had never known about the Old Madam having a twin sister.
Yet he was internally shocked by this revelation.
"Wasn’t Mrs. Wang missing?"
"How was she found?" Prince asked.
Chief Steward Li shook his head, "I don’t know when she was found, no one saw Mrs. Wang enter the mansion, she went directly from Agarwood Pavilion to Qihao Hall."
Old Prince took a step towards the inner courtyard, with Prince closely following.
Chief Steward Li also went along.
Inside Qihao Hall, the inner room.
Soone shouted, "Old Prince is coming."
As the voice entered their ears, many people’s hearts jumped to their throats.
The first to beco restless was the Old Madam.
If looks could kill, Su Jin and Xie Jingchen would have died countless tis.
Actually, Su Jin thought Mrs. Wang was a bit hasty in her actions.
But this couldn’t be entirely blad on her.
She simply didn’t have ti to discuss, she had to rush to save the young cousin.
She disregarded her own safety to save others.
Old Prince entered, and Xie Jingchen and Su Jin greeted him respectfully.
"Did you find Mrs. Wang?" Old Prince asked.
Su Jin looked at Old Prince, "It was Princess Beimo who saved Mrs. Wang at the Great Buddha Temple. I brought her back to the mansion from the Palace yesterday when she was still unconscious."
The Old Madam looked at Old Prince and said, "That day at the Great Buddha Temple, Mrs. Wang strangled my neck like a madwoman, and today she’s spouting nonsense, saying I am a fake."
"I am the only daughter in my family, and I’ve lived all these decades without knowing I have a twin sister!"
The Old Madam’s voice was sharp and confident.
Su Jin silently comnted, "Isn’t the Old Madam supposed to have amnesia?"
Everyone, "... ."
Was the slap in the face this swift?
The Old Madam’s amnesia was so severe that even Old Prince and Mrs. Wang were unrecognizable to her.
Much less any siblings.
She knew only what others told her.
Now, asserting such a statent with confidence was truly inappropriate.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.
Outside, Xingxing ca in with dicine, "Young lady, the dicine is ready."
"Give it to Mrs. Wang to take," Su Jin instructed.
After Mrs. Wang took the dicine, Su Jin helped with acupuncture.
After the ti it takes to drink half a cup of tea, Mrs. Wang finally woke up.
She opened her eyes, scanned the room, and upon seeing Old Prince and Prince, she struggled to get up.
But her body was too weak, so Hongxiu helped her sit up.
Mrs. Wang knelt before Old Prince.
Although Old Prince had been in the room for a while, no one had repeated Mrs. Wang’s words to him.
Except for what Chief Steward Li had said, Old Prince knew nothing.
"Why do you claim the Old Madam is fake, and is the twin sister?" Old Prince asked.
Mrs. Wang repeated what she had said before.
As soon as Mrs. Wang ntioned that the Old Madam’s twin sister eloped with soone back in the day, Old Prince’s face turned livid.
With Old Prince and Prince there, no one dared interrupt Mrs. Wang.
After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, Third Master asked, "Who can prove what you say is true, that the Old Madam has a twin sister?"
Proof?
Almost instantly—
Mrs. Wang’s eyes dimd.
The matter of the Old Madam having a twin sister was unknown even to Old Prince, let alone anyone else.
It was kept too well hidden back then, and now there was no one to testify for her.
Mrs. Wang sat on the ground, looking defeated.
She was enveloped in a sense of sorrow that made people feel pity.
The Old Madam raised her hand and said, "Drag this person out for !"
Two older won ca over to drag Mrs. Wang.
Su Jin intervened, "Just because there is no one in Prince Zhenbei Mansion to prove Mrs. Wang’s claims doesn’t an there is no one in the world who can!"
"According to Mrs. Wang, the Wang Family was affluent back then. Even though it’s been decades since they relocated, I’m sure soone rembers such a well-known incident. Send soone to investigate, and it will beco clear."
"If Mrs. Wang is indeed lying, it won’t be too late for the Old Madam to execute her."
Third Madam looked at Su Jin, "It seems the Heir’s wife believes the raving madwoman’s wild claims?!"
