"Girl, are you coming from the direction of the capital?"
The old woman had been staring at Rong Sheng's face just now, and the feeling of déjà vu became stronger and stronger.
She was even more certain that this girl was an old friend of hers from the capital.
"Uh... yeah, yes."
Seeing that the old woman's gaze was fixed on his face, Rong Sheng responded while quickly searching the original owner's memory in his mind.
However, because this body had been corroded by the Crane Orchid poison, there were not many memories of the original owner's childhood left in his mind.
She tried to recall for a moment, but found that she could not find any information about the old woman in front of her.
"Ugh--"
After thinking for a long time without any result, Rong Sheng reluctantly withdrew his thoughts, then frowned and said hesitantly to the old woman: "Mammy, did you know me before?"
But the old woman seemed not to hear it at this moment.
She stared at Rong Sheng's frowning face and couldn't help but sigh in her heart -
Looks like it, really looks like it!
The girl's facial features and the slightly frowned expression between her brows are exactly the same as Princess Qingya's.
When she thought of Princess Qingya, the long-buried memories in the old woman's mind were suddenly revealed.
When Princess Qingya married into Dazhen, the emperor specially gifted her a magnificent princess mansion.
The old woman was the nanny who used to be the manager of Princess Qingya's mansion.
At that time, the dowry that the princess brought from the Western Chu State was priceless and the amount was extremely astonishing, which made it the envy of all the wealthy ladies in the capital.
The mansion given to the princess by the emperor was so filled with dowry that there was not even a single space left.
Princess Qingya saw that even the accommodation in the mansion had become very small because it was filled with dowry.
She simply moved all the clothes and jewelry she needed for daily life to the Rongguo Marquis Mansion.
In the end, the princess's mansion naturally became a warehouse for storing dowry.
As the housekeeper of the princess's mansion, the old woman was specifically responsible for protecting these properties.
Therefore, I spent less time with the princess in the Rongguo Marquis' Mansion.
Until five years ago, Princess Qingya became pregnant again.
The old woman clearly remembered that the princess's entire pregnancy went very smoothly.
But somehow, just as the princess was about to give birth, blood suddenly began to flow between her legs.
The blood flowed out as fast as a spring, and in a blink of an eye, it completely soaked the thick bedding on the bed.
Soon after, the princess lost even more blood due to the large fetus in her belly, which was difficult to deliver, and she fainted.
However, as the incident happened suddenly, the Marquis was still in the palace attending court and was not at home.
The midwife who was previously prepared to deliver the baby suddenly disappeared.
When the servants in the princess's courtyard saw this, they were instantly panicked.
They were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, running around the mansion looking for help.
In an instant, the whole mansion was in chaos.
At this critical moment, the old woman ran out of the house first to find a doctor.
But when she hurried to the marquis's mansion with the doctor she had invited with great difficulty, she was fiercely blocked outside the door by a guard.
Even though she knelt down and kowtowed in the end, the guard refused to let her in.
Just when she was about to risk her life and force her way in, bad news suddenly came from the mansion -
The princess died due to complications during childbirth.
The fetus in her belly was not saved.
When the old woman heard this, she heard a buzzing sound at the back of her head and then her whole body went limp and she sat on the ground.
But what surprised her was that the guard at the door suddenly left the gate and no longer stopped her after hearing the news of the princess's death.
The next second, she rushed to the princess' bedroom like a flash.
But when she saw the scene inside the house, she burst into tears.
The princess, who was usually full of energy, was now covered in blood and lying on the bed.
The already fragile body no longer felt a trace of life.
The old woman looked up and saw that the princess's face was as yellow as a fallen leaf, her eyes were closed, and her dark eye sockets were extremely sunken.
Beside the bed, a gorgeously dressed but extremely thin woman was kneeling on the ground and crying.
Her almond-shaped eyes were hollow and lifeless, her fair cheeks were streaked with tears, and her slender hands weakly tugged at the princess's bloodstained sleeves.
That was the young Princess Yong'an.
The old woman pulled herself back from her sad memories, rubbed her slightly red eyes, and looked at Rong Sheng in front of her again.
When Princess Qingya died, Princess Yongan was only ten years old.
Now, five years have passed, and he should be as old as the woman in front of me.
Although the old woman did not often serve in the Marquis's mansion at that time, the voice, appearance and smile of Princess Yong'an were still in his mind.
Although the demeanor and temperament of the woman in front of him were very different from that of Princess Yong'an at that time, they were indeed 80% similar in appearance.
Having already guessed it in her mind, the old woman calmly said, "I used to work at the Rongguo Marquis' Mansion in the capital. May I ask if this young lady knows Princess Yong'an?"
"Um?!"
When Rong Sheng heard this, he was instantly shocked, thinking to himself that this old nanny had once been a member of the Rongguo Marquis Mansion!
Then why is it appearing in this sparsely populated suburb of Beijing now?
And judging from her attire and the thatched hut behind her, she must be living a very poor life.
Could it be that he was kicked out of the Marquis' Mansion?
Countless question marks suddenly popped up in Rong Sheng's mind. He looked up at the elderly woman in front of him again, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Of course I know Princess Yong'an, because I am her."
When the old woman heard this, her eyes lit up immediately. She excitedly held Rong Sheng's shoulders and said, "I knew it, you are really the princess!"
As she spoke, the old woman helped Rong Sheng up from the ground and cried with joy, "Princess, do you still remember me? I am Madam Jiang, the manager of Princess Qingya's mansion!"
Princess Qingya’s Mansion?
Aunt Jiang?
Rong Sheng looked at the unfamiliar face in front of him and thought that since this person was Princess Qingya's housekeeper, wouldn't she know everything about the original owner's childhood?
After thinking about it, Rong Sheng also changed to a desolate tone and said, "Alas, Madam Jiang, it's not that I don't recognize you. It's just that a year ago, I was poisoned and I almost forgot everything about my childhood."
"Poisoned?!"
When Nanny Jiang heard this, she trembled with fear and said with a horrified expression: "Then Princess, you are now..."
"Don't worry, Ma'am. I'm fine now." Rong Sheng explained quickly, "It's just that the memory in my brain has not been fully restored."
"Oh - it's healed now." Nanny Jiang was relieved when she heard that Rong Sheng was already well. "Princess, please don't scare me like this again."
But the next second, she suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly asked, "Who is so bold as to poison you?"
