Qin Jingshu felt sad when she heard this. She actually didn't notice anything unusual at the first time.

After all, her aunt had always told her that she loved her as her own daughter.

"Auntie." Qin Jingshu shouted.

The second lady's eyes were full of sadness and she said: "Call me... mother..."

Qin Jingshu looked at her current half-dead state and did not correct the other person's title. She even thought that this was what her aunt hoped for.

"Mom." Qin Jingshu called out.

The second lady's face immediately showed unprecedented satisfaction.

She tried hard to raise her hand, as if she wanted to touch her daughter's face.

Qin Jingshu noticed her intention and took the initiative to raise the other person's hand and put it against her face.

"That's great..." the second lady murmured.

Qin Jingshu felt her eyes sore, but she still said: "Auntie, I'm going to ask the Concubine Xian to send an imperial physician to diagnose your pulse."

The second lady shook her head: "Good boy, you don't have to do these things... I'm going to die..."

However, Qin Jingshu was not willing that the female elder who treated her best in Duke Xian's mansion would leave at such a young age.

Before her daughter came back, the Second Madam had already mentally drafted what she would say today countless times.

"Good boy, listen carefully to what I'm telling you now, and don't tell anyone else," the second lady said.

Qin Jingshu nodded vigorously.

The second lady raised her eyelids with difficulty, as if she wanted to see if there was anyone else in the room, or if anyone was eavesdropping outside the room.

Her maid Xiaoqing walked in and said, "Madam, don't worry, my servant is guarding the door."

When it was finally confirmed that there were no outsiders, the second lady said, "You are my biological daughter."

When Qin Jingshu heard this, the confusion in her eyes was not fake.

"Back then, the Duke's wife and I were both pregnant at the same time. We both had a female fetus. Thanks to Concubine Li's relationship, we asked the imperial advisor for approval. The imperial advisor concluded that the Duke's wife was carrying the future queen."

Qin Jingshu remembered this matter. Mrs. Xian Guogong once told her.

The second lady was so sick that she had no strength now. She was out of breath after saying this. After resting for a while, she continued: "I had a crooked idea at that time and wanted my daughter to be the future queen, so the country As soon as the child my father-in-law gave birth to fell to the ground, I had someone secretly replace it with you."

Qin Jingshu felt her pupils tremble when she heard this. She never expected that the second lady would actually do such a big thing in the Duke's mansion. She also didn't expect that she was not the biological daughter of Lady Xian.

"My child, I am not telling you this today to make you recognize your relatives, but to let you know that the person whose destiny has been determined has come back. You should be more careful with her. She is here to steal your destiny as queen. Yes, she is not your friend, but your enemy!"

When Qin Jingshu heard this, she frowned slightly and asked, "That cousin, where did you send her to?"

The second lady shook her head and said: "I blame my people for being careless and asking them to deal with this child, but I didn't expect that he survived."

Qin Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief. She did not become wary of the cousin whose identity she did not know because of her mother's words. Instead, she felt a lot of guilt.

"So how has she been doing these years?"

When the second lady heard this question, she looked at her daughter strangely: "Do you sympathize with her?"

Qin Jingshu lowered her head and said, "She was supposed to be the eldest lady of the Duke's mansion, but you sent someone to deal with it. If she hadn't been lucky, she wouldn't have survived, right?"

Qin Jingshu is relatively dull on some things, but at certain times she is particularly sharp.

The second lady avoided her daughter's questioning gaze. What mother in the world would want her daughter to know how vicious she is.

"I had no choice... Concubine Li forced me..." The second lady tried to put all the blame on Concubine Li.

Qin Jingshu would be blinded by her feelings, but she could see the issue of life and death clearly. She looked at the second lady calmly: "You can actually let people take good care of her instead of dealing with her, right?"

The second wife only felt that her daughter's gaze was as hot as hot coals, making her afraid to look directly.

But she still refused to admit her mistake, but said: "I have not had a good life these years! I did this one wrong thing! But after so many years, I have never been pregnant again! I can't give birth to a boy. Ding Lai, do you know how many cold looks I have received over the years? I have already received my retribution, isn’t it enough?”

Qin Jingshu looked at the other party, never feeling like this before that the kind-hearted second aunt in her memory had turned into such a terrifying look.

"Aunt, you should know that these things have nothing to do with her," Qin Jingshu said.

The second lady stared at her eyes full of red bloodshot eyes and said: "Of course she has something to do with her. Anyone who wants to harm her will be in bad luck. She is an evil spirit and she was born to be eliminated! You are My daughter, who are you talking to? Have I given you all these years of love?"

Qin Jingshu's heart gradually cooled down.

She even regretted that she should not have left the palace. The person in front of her did not look like a respectable elder, but more like a ghost from hell.

"Promise me that you will be on guard against her! She is none other than your good friend Gu Xi!"

After saying this, the second lady grabbed her daughter's hand tightly.

Qin Jingshu's eyes suddenly widened. She didn't expect that the person she was swapping with was Niuniu!

She thought about how she wanted to get close to Niuniu for no apparent reason, and how she always wanted to be better to this friend. It seemed that the reason for everything was found at this moment.

"Promise me, I'm about to die, can't you let me go with peace of mind?" The second wife asked, grabbing her daughter's sleeve.

Qin Jingshu felt sad. She always felt that the wife of the Duke of Xian didn't really treat her as a daughter. The second aunt in front of her didn't seem to be much different from the wife of the Duke of Xian.

"Is being the queen so important to you?" Qin Jingshu asked.

The second wife said, "You are my only child, so I naturally hope that you will get the best in the world. I did all these things for you. Why don't you understand my painstaking efforts?"

Qin Jingshu felt that she couldn't wake up a person pretending to sleep. She looked away and said, "Aunt, you can rest assured. I will ask a doctor for you and he will definitely cure your illness."

The second wife did not let go, but held Qin Jingshu tightly: "My illness will not be cured."

"You are not old, it is impossible..."

The second wife interrupted her daughter: "If the Li family falls, my illness will not be cured."

Qin Jingshu was horrified.

"You must promise me that you must guard against Gu Xi and snatch her husband away. Just treat it as my only request to you as a mother before I die!"
