Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

The old lady felt Lin Yazi's fear and nervousness, and gently grasped Lin Yazi's wrist with her wrinkled hands, signaling her to calm down.

"Ya Zi looks like me, Chen Cong looks like my deceased brother, and my brother and I look more alike. It's normal that Liu Mei looks like my cousin."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Duke Liu stared at Chen Cong gloomily, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

The prince slumped in a chair, looking pale and weak. Dealing with Duke Liu, Lin Minglang and those officials in the front hall had just exhausted his energy.

Unexpectedly, after entering the backyard, he could see the private life of the general's mansion. The prince forced himself to sit up and listened.

Chen Cong never expected to meet Duke Liu, nor did he expect that a rogue and gambler like him would be able to meet the almighty prince.

Faced with the huge difference, Chen Cong was not afraid at all. He just felt that this trip was right and worth it!

Not only can you make a fortune, but you can also brag to your gambling friends for the rest of your life.

I am the cousin of the Crown Princess, which means I am the Crown Prince’s cousin. Let’s see which casino dares to kick me out!

The old lady turned to Aunt Xu and said, "Quickly send Chen Cong to the guest house."

However, before Madam Xu could move, another maid came in.

"Madam, someone has arrived from the West Suburb Villa at the foot of Xiangtan Mountain."

The West Suburb Courtyard is a farm of the General's Mansion at the foot of Xiangtan Mountain. It is usually responsible for managing a fruit forest on Xiangtan Mountain owned by the General's Mansion.

Today is not the day to come to the palace to report the harvest, so why would anyone come from the West Suburb Villa?

"It's Yunyan. She heard that my aunt has returned from Xiangxi and wants to come and see her old master."

Yunyan?

When Lin Yazi heard this familiar name, she was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that this was her personal maid before she got married.

However, due to some things, he was punished to work in another courtyard.

Lin Yazi's heart, which had just calmed down, began beating wildly again. She and the old lady looked at each other, and it was obvious that they both thought of why Yunyan was punished that year.

"Your Excellency is in the mansion now and has no time to see her. Take her to my yard and wait."

Just as the old lady finished giving her instructions, a tall and handsome figure walked in.

"you are?"

The old lady didn't recognize who this person was at first.

"Grandmother, she is my maid. She got separated from me on the night of the Crown Prince's wedding and was injured. Now she has recovered and has just returned home."

When the old lady suddenly heard Lin Yushu mention what happened that night, her eyelids jumped. Yes, it really happened.

Since Lin Yushu was able to escape unscathed from so many assassins, the injured servant must have extraordinary martial arts skills.

The old lady looked at Leng Dai deeply, then looked away, and saw a maid following Leng Dai in.

The old woman followed Leng Dai in with her head down. No one noticed her at all. After entering the house, she knelt down on the ground.

"This old servant Yunyan has met the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, the old lady, and the aunt..."

How did she come in? Lin Yazi almost stood up from the chair again.

The old lady glanced coldly at Leng Dai, who was standing behind Lin Yushu, as straight as a pine tree, and felt extremely disgusted.

"Well, now that you have met your old master, go down and collect your reward and return."

Yunyan's white hair was combed meticulously, and her bleached coarse cloth clothes were worn very appropriately. It was obvious that although she had lived in poverty over the years, she still maintained the dignity of a maid in an official family.

She came here today because someone told her that Lin Yazi had returned to the capital from Xiangxi and still wanted to see her to make up for the suffering she had endured.

Yunyan went from being the most respected maid in the mansion to a housewife doing menial work in the other courtyard. The difference between the two almost cost her half her life.

And now she suddenly learned that her old master still remembered what happened back then and was willing to compensate her for her suffering. The pain Yunyan had been suffering in her heart for all these years was about to bear sweet fruit, so she hurried to the general's mansion today.

Yunyan kowtowed three times on the ground to express her gratitude. After standing up, she saw Chen Cong in front of her.

Even though he was no longer as handsome as before, Yunyan recognized him at once. She pointed at him excitedly, with veins bulging on her neck with anger.

"You, you, you are Chen Kang!"

With just one sentence, the room suddenly became silent.

"Chen Kang? Isn't he Chen Cong?"

"If I remember correctly, Chen Kang was born from a branch of the Chen family. Back then, Chen Kang and Chen Cong both lived in the general's mansion. This woman's words reminded me that this person doesn't seem to be the Chen Cong of the past, but Chen Kang."

The Second Madam seemed to be chatting with Lin Qingrou, but her voice was so loud that everyone in the room could hear it clearly.

Yunyan seemed to realize that she had said too much and was about to leave when someone stopped her.

"Stop, tell me, why is this Chen Kang pretending to be Chen Cong?"

"This... maybe he is afraid that the ugly things he did back then will be remembered, so he used someone else's name."

Duke Liu stared at Yunyan and continued to ask, "What's the scandal?"

Yunyan looked at Lin Yazi guiltily, who was glaring at her angrily. Yunyan suddenly began to tremble all over. The scene of being beaten and scolded by Lin Yazi many years ago seemed to have come back to her again.

"This woman was once Yazi's maid. She had an affair with Chen Cong and was caught by Yazi. She was then sent to the West Suburbs Villa to do rough labor."

This short sentence was the most painful memory of Yunyan’s half life. She lowered her head numbly and did not reply.

Liu Mei smiled contemptuously: "An adulterer and a whore, they meet again in the general's mansion after many years. It's really a romantic love story."

"You have already been punished for the shameful things you did to me. Today, since you care about your former master, I will not pursue your crime of offending the noble. Go down quickly."

Lin Yazi shouted sternly. She never wanted to see the two people in front of her again and just hoped that they would disappear immediately.

"Scandal", "Punishment", "Offending a noble person"...

Yunyan understood these words, but when they were put together, she didn't understand what they meant.

Wasn’t it Lin Yazi who asked her to come and receive compensation for all these years?

Doesn’t Lin Yazi feel any guilt towards her at all?

Before she came in, she had heard the old lady was going to take Chen Kang to the guest house to have a good rest. Why did she look as if she wanted to kill her on the spot when she saw her?

Yunyan couldn't figure it out with her stupid brain. She just felt that her life was ruined by Lin Yazi, but Lin Yazi didn't care at all. She only cared that her presence was an eyesore.

Yunyan imagined a long-awaited reunion, Lin Yazi's guilty apology and compensation, but there was none of them, only a condescending "no further investigation"...

A fire of rage burned in Yunyan's mind, burning away her rationality.

"No! It was my aunt who had an affair with Chen Kang. I was just the scapegoat she used!"
