Chapter 336 Illegitimate Daughter
The rain stopped.
The rain stopped too.
The room was quiet.
Princess Yuqing stared longingly at Miaomiao, waiting for her to call her "Mother."
However, it still didn't happen.
Jiang Miaomiao leaned against Lu Qingyao's chest, head down, picking at her fingers, without saying a word.
It's not so easy to call out "Mother" like that.
For her, there was only one mother.
Her mother was the first person to show her kindness when she came into this world.
He was also the one who personally fed her and raised her with his own hands, changing her excrement and urine.
Her mother made up for the lack of maternal love in her previous life.
She truly considered her mother as her own.
This cannot be replaced by the woman in front of me simply saying "I am your birth mother".
The thought of her daughter having to call someone else "mother" still made Lu Qingyao feel somewhat uncomfortable, even though she had rationally accepted it.
But seeing that both Miaomiao and Princess Yuqing were equally stubborn, she had no choice but to persuade her daughter, "Miaomiao must be afraid that she won't be able to distinguish between calling her mother and princess. Why don't you just call her the princess mother?"
Jiang Miaomiao nodded, as long as she wasn't allowed to call her "Mom," she was fine with calling her whatever else she wanted.
She looked at Princess Yuqing, who was both strange and familiar, and tried to call out, "Mother."
Sure enough, after shouting it out, it didn't seem so difficult anymore.
It's no different from calling someone "Princess Auntie".
She tried calling out again, "Mother."
The little girl looked innocent and naive.
Princess Yuqing burst into tears, holding the little girl and crying uncontrollably.
"Yes, Mother is here. I'm sorry, it's all Mother's fault. I trusted the wrong person, which caused you to be lost. But don't worry, Mother has avenged you. Those people are all dead. From now on, no one can separate us, and no one will dare to bully you again."
As long as her daughter acknowledges her and calls her that, she'll listen to whatever she's called.
Influenced by Princess Yuqing, Jiang Miaomiao felt a pang of sadness and then inexplicably burst into tears.
In fact, she didn't know why she was crying.
Perhaps it was because she was thinking about how miserable her life was in her past life, and how tragically her mother and brothers died in her dream.
Perhaps Heaven couldn't bear to see her like this anymore, and allowed her to reunite with her mother and brothers.
That's how her mother saved her.
She originally just wanted to find a princess to rely on and curry favor with, but she never expected that the princess would become her own mother.
That's pretty unbelievable.
She had also wondered what kind of person her biological mother would be.
Everyone says she's good-looking, so she assumes her birth mother must be pretty too.
But she was abandoned.
Even the most patriarchal and disdainful ladies of wealthy families were always surrounded by servants. They would never abandon a girl.
Therefore, she thought her birth mother must have had a low status, either a concubine of low social status or a mistress.
The most likely explanation is that her birth mother was not well-liked.
They were powerless and vulnerable, yet they were still bullied.
She doesn't even believe her birth mother is still alive.
But today they told her that she was the princess's biological daughter.
This didn't match any of her guesses; in fact, it was completely the opposite.
She was powerful and influential, the old emperor's most beloved daughter, the eldest legitimate princess of the Great Liang Dynasty, and the elder sister of the Crown Prince and Prince Jing.
However, I just heard the princess talk about revenge.
That means what Aunt Jiang Yue and her mother said was true.
The princess's mother's husband, Consort Cao, and his son were the culprits, the masterminds who abandoned her.
The reason why the princess's mother lost her was that she was deceived and schemed against by Cao, the prince consort.
The most ridiculous thing is.
It wasn't until last year that the princess learned her child had been switched, and she was raising her enemy's daughter like a precious jewel.
I wonder if her pregnancy made her stupid. They say pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, and it seems to be true.
Jiang Miaomiao was neither angry nor resentful.
After all, she met her mother and brothers.
If I hadn't been abandoned, I wouldn't have had any contact with them.
Perhaps it was fate that brought them together as a family.
Suddenly, another question came to her mind.
Cao Jiayue was not the princess's child, but she was the child of Cao the Prince Consort.
Both were girls who had been switched at birth, yet the Cao mother and son cruelly abandoned her.
She is most likely not Cao's child.
Who is her biological father?
Could he be someone who can't be seen in the light of day?
Thinking this, Jiang Miaomiao asked, "Mother, who is my father?"
Princess Yuqing was stunned, unsure of what to say.
Looking at her daughter who was gazing up at her expectantly, she stammered, "He...he went on a long journey."
She really wanted to tell her daughter that her father had held her, served her food, and taught her to write and recite poems.
You've seen it before.
But he swallowed the words back.
Now is not the time to talk about it.
Perhaps we can talk about it when Cui Yan has gained enough power and influence to dominate the court.
Lu Qingyao: ...
He quietly left the room.
She didn't expect her daughter to react so quickly; the first thing she did upon recognizing her family was to look for her father.
She had never asked Jiang Yunze before, nor had she ever mentioned him in front of her.
Perhaps that's what growing up really means.
Knowing that other children have fathers, but she has never had one since she was little, she probably longs for fatherly love.
However, these problems are a real headache for Princess Yuqing, her own mother.
It's time for her to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother.
Seeing the princess and her mother staring at each other, Jiang Miaomiao knew she wouldn't get any answers.
At the same time, it also confirmed something quite absurd.
She was actually an illegitimate child.
Her biological father was someone who couldn't be brought to light, otherwise why wouldn't the princess say a word about it?
At the same time, she thought of someone else.
"Mother, what about Jia Yue? Is she really dead?" Jiang Miaomiao asked.
……
Princess Yuqing fell silent again.
Every question the little guy asked was incredibly difficult for her, and she now least wanted to talk about that child.
The child was like a testament to her foolish behavior.
Seeing her brings back memories of being completely fooled by the Cao mother and son.
She would think of how, while she was cherishing Cao Jiayue, Miaomiao was suffering from hunger and cold in that rural area.
She is not fit to be a mother.
Jiang Miaomiao: ……
Okay, I still can't get an answer from them.
Then I'll have to investigate myself. I refuse to believe that the princess won't reveal any flaws.
"Mother, can I call you that in public?" Jiang Miaomiao asked again.
This is a very important question.
Since even her father couldn't get the answer, she, as an illegitimate daughter, shouldn't be allowed to be a princess openly and legitimately.
Alas! I never imagined that one day she would become an illegitimate child who couldn't be seen in the light of day.
I thought the princess's daughter would be different.
The princess's illegitimate daughter is still an illegitimate daughter; she doesn't seem to have become any more noble.
Her dream of being able to do whatever she wanted in the capital was shattered.
Somewhat disappointed.
Princess Yuqing: ...
Such as knuckles in the throat.
This little one is so good at asking questions; every single one of them hits the nail on the head.
Just like her father's mouth.
It makes people love and hate it.
Jiang Miaomiao saw that the princess's mother had lowered her eyes and remained silent, and did not dare to look at her.
With a bewildered look, she asked, "Mother, if I don't have a father, am I considered an illegitimate child by others? Can I not call you Mother in public?"
An illegitimate child!!
Princess Yuqing felt a mouthful of blood choke in her chest.
My ears felt like they were being pricked by needles.
She said firmly, "You are not an illegitimate child. You have a father, but we can't acknowledge him yet."
How could her daughter be an illegitimate child?
"Oh! Then you'd better work hard so that I can call you Mother openly and honestly." Jiang Miaomiao looked like she understood but didn't quite.
But what he said seemed to make a lot of sense.
Princess Yuqing: ...
