Chapter 3 — The Cry to Save the Marquis Palace
In her previous life, in front of everyone, she always pretended to be gentle and weak. Every time she saw me, she sighed, said my fate was miserable, said it wasn't easy for the Mu family to raise me. But behind my back, she called me a little scoundrel. She said, if it weren't for me taking over Bao Chau's fate, her daughter would have been a golden Marquis as soon as she was born. Right now, she hasn't learned how to hide yet. As soon as she entered the room, she rushed towards Mrs. Mu.
“Mother, where is Bao Chau?”
“Didn't you say everything was arranged well?”
"People say that the Ta family will not wake up, and the Marquis will not investigate. Why are there so many people now?"
Old lady Mu raised her hand and slapped her. A crunching sound. The mother-in-law was beaten until her face was tilted, her whole body was stunned.
“What nonsense are you talking about!”
Old lady Mu gritted her teeth.
"You just gave birth, are you confused by the fever?"
The aunt hugged her face, tears immediately flowing out.
“I'm not confused.”
“It was you who said Bao Chau had a good fate and should be the Marquis of the Palace.”
"Someone also said that after all, that child was born to the Ta family, so no matter where she raised it, the Mu family raised it for her, so she should be grateful."
Everyone in the room did not dare to raise their heads. His father's hand clenched into a fist. Her face was so white that it was almost transparent. But she didn't fall down. She just bowed her head and looked at me. I tried to open my eyes and look at her. I want to tell you, don't be afraid. In this life, we still have time. Old Lady Mu suddenly rushed forward and tightly covered her uncle's mouth.
“Shut up!”
“Do you want to kill the whole family?”
The mother's coffin was covered until she couldn't breathe. While struggling, she knocked over the small table next to her. The medicine bowl fell to the ground, broken ceramic pieces scattered. Parents shouted loudly:
“Separate them!”
The two ladies hurriedly walked up. Old lady Mu still wanted to struggle, but was pinned in place by her father's gaze. She finally let go. The mother-in-law fell to the ground, gasping for breath. Muc Bao Chau cried in the midwife's arms until his voice was hoarse. As soon as she heard the cry, the aunt immediately raised her head. Seeing the child in the midwife's arms, her eyes immediately lit up.
“Bao Chau!” She reached out her hand to take it.
The midwife stepped back in fear. Old lady Mu was so impatient that she almost lost her voice:
"That's the Marquis's daughter!"
But the mother's expression no longer cared about anything.
“There's a blue birthmark on the back of his shoulder.”
“When it was born, I saw it very clearly.”
“Mother, please return it to me.”
As soon as these words ended, the lady slowly raised her eyes.
“Blue birthmark?”
The parents immediately looked at the midwife.
“Check.”
The midwife was shaking like a leaf. She took off the brocade blanket embroidered with gold thread on Muc Bao Chau's body. Behind the child's small shoulder there was indeed a light green birthmark, shaped like a torn leaf. His father's face completely turned cold. A lady closed her eyes. I heard her take a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, there were no more tears in her eyes. Only cold remains.
“So where is my daughter?”
As soon as these words ended, everyone in the room looked towards me. Mom carefully lifted up my neck and shoulders. I don't have a blue birthmark. Only small moles between the eyelids and the red mark from the jade lock clasped on the neck. The tip of her finger ran across the red mark. Her hands are shaking. Father suddenly turned around and kicked over the small chair next to Mrs. Mu.
“Mu Thi!”
"You dare to exchange my Luc family's bloodline!"
Old Lady Mu's legs softened, but she still refused to admit her guilt. She knelt on the ground, crying and crawling towards her husband.
“Lanh Nghi, mother did this because she wanted the best for me.”
“The Mu family has fallen into decline, and your aunt and children are no longer close, what else can I do?”
"Bao Chau is also my biological niece. She entered the Marquis Palace, and in the future she can also help the Mu family."
“As for this child, even if he was raised in the Muc family, he would not lack a single morsel of food.”
The lady's eyes finally broke for a moment. Not because of softness. But because of pain.
“So you have been planning for a long time.”
“Use your daughter to exchange for glory and wealth for the Mu family.”
Lady Mu's crying stopped. His father coldly ordered:
“Arrest all the Mu family people.”
“Everyone who had a hand in the affairs inside and outside the delivery room today, all will be escorted to the front hospital.”
“Anyone who dares to secretly transmit information will be beaten to death with a staff.”
As soon as the words ended, there was a sudden noise outside the door. Someone shouted loudly:
“Old lady, Master Mu has brought someone in!”
My heart suddenly sank. In my previous life, it was this uncle who personally brought me to death. In this life, he came earlier in my memory. 05 When Master Mu rushed in, there was still a sword hanging from his side that had not yet been unsheathed. He is not a martial artist. That sword is only used for show. But as soon as the maids and women in the delivery room saw the hilt of the knife, they all backed away in fear. Father's soldiers immediately blocked the door. Master Mu seemed not to see, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he shouted:
“What does Marquis mean by doing that?”
“My mother has the kindness to come and take care of my younger sister, do you Luc family want to arrest her like a prisoner?”
He spoke with dignity and integrity. But as soon as he saw the jade lock on the ground, his voice clearly weakened. Old lady Mu immediately cried:
“Son, quickly save your mother!”
“My younger sister was persuaded by others, and even her biological mother refused to recognize her.”
The rich man looked at his wife and tried to look hurt.
“Lanh Nghi, how could you be like that?”
"Mother stayed up all night for me. I didn't know how to appreciate it, but on the contrary, I listened to the servants talk nonsense."
A calmly looked at him.
“What did the leader know?”
The rich man was stunned. A Nuong continued to ask:
“Before I let anyone leave the delivery room, the senior brother brought a knife and rushed into the Marquis Palace.”
“Who told you the news?”
"Who told you that I was interrogating my mother?"
Mr. Mu's face suddenly changed. Parents laughed coldly.
“Luc Tam.”
A soldier outside the door immediately walked in to receive orders.
“Blockade of the two gates.”
“Search the people brought by the Mu family.”
"Especially check who just left the delivery room."
Luc Tam received orders to leave. The rich man was impatient.
“Marquis of Tran Bac, don't look down on people too much!”
“Even though our Mu family is not as good as the Luc family, it is still Linh Nghi's maternal family.”
Father took a step forward. The flap of the royal robe was blown away by a cold wind.
“If you were just her maternal family, today I will be your majesty will respect three parts.”
“But if you dare to steal my daughter, then you are the enemy.”
The giant was forced to take a half step back. Mrs. Mu saw that the situation was unfavorable and suddenly changed her approach. She knelt down before the lady and repeatedly bowed her head vigorously. Once. Twice. Before long, his forehead was bleeding.
“Lanh Nghi, mother is wrong.”
“Mother was just temporarily confused.”
“But Bao Chau is also innocent.”
“He was just born, he doesn't know anything. I can't let him become known as the swapped child.”
"If this story spreads, what kind of person will the Mu family's young lady still be?"
A lady bowed her head to look at her.
“What about your daughter?”
