The ugly girl's nirvana, the disabled prince's love

Chapter 158: Incurring a fatal disaster

Jiang bit her lip, as if considering how to speak. Her eyes revealed a hint of nervousness and uneasiness, and her hands unconsciously twisted tightly together.

After a moment, she took a deep breath and said slowly: "Princess, this matter is of great importance. You must be mentally prepared."

Shen Yiran became more and more curious and worried. She nodded slightly, motioning Jiang to continue.

Jiang took a deep breath, as if to give herself enough courage. She said slowly: "I just fell down and hit my head, and I remembered everything.

My name is Li Yue, and I am from Muzi Village. When I was fifteen, I went to the neighboring Bazi Village to congratulate my cousin Zhao Qin on the birth of her baby boy. I overheard a conversation between Zhao Qin's mother-in-law Zhang Damei and father-in-law Wang Dashu.

At that time, the woman was so shocked that she accidentally hit the broom at the door. Zhang Damei realized that the woman had heard their conversation and chased after her.

I was scared, so I ran away, but it was night and I didn't have a light, so I was caught not long after I ran.

Zhang Damei asked in horror: "What did you hear?" I was so scared at the time that I said I heard nothing.

However, Wang Dashu said, "Old woman, if this matter gets out, our family will be wiped out. Kill her!"

Then, Zhang Damei covered my mouth tightly. I wanted to scream but no sound came out. Just as I struggled a few times, I was hit hard on the head.

Suddenly, my head felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer, and a sharp pain spread throughout my body like an electric current.

The world before my eyes began to shake and blur. My head felt heavy as if it was filled with lead. My consciousness gradually became confused by this sudden blow. My body seemed to lose control and I fell down limply.

At this time, I heard Zhang Damei say: "To ensure that nothing goes wrong, let's sink her into the river!" Then, when my consciousness was about to dissipate, I was pushed into the icy cold river. The river was rushing, the night was as dark as ink, I felt myself sinking rapidly, and despair enveloped me..."

After hearing this, Shen Yiran was shocked and angry. She frowned, and her eyes showed deep sympathy for Li Yue's experience.

After thinking for a moment, she asked, "What did you hear that made them want to kill you?"

Li Yue fell into deep thought. After a moment, she slowly said, "I remember that Zhang Damei was full of joy, with a proud look on her face, and she said loudly, 'Old man, our grandson will be a blessed person in the future.

The two women who gave birth together in Lingyin Temple today, judging from the names given by the servants, seemed to be the wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Empress of the Palace.'

Wang Dashu frowned slightly when he heard this, his cloudy eyes full of confusion, and asked hurriedly: "Which family did our grandson go to?"

Zhang Damei lowered her head slightly, a hint of nervousness flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and responded: "I was also scared at the time, and I didn't know their servants, so I didn't know exactly which family they were in. Anyway, our grandson will definitely enjoy a good life in the future."

Wang Dashu nodded thoughtfully, then asked worriedly, "Does our daughter-in-law know about this?"

Zhang Damei's eyes widened as she heard this, and she looked angry. She said, "You are old and confused. How can you let others know about this? I just told you, don't say anything nonsense..."

When the woman heard this, she was so shocked that she made a noise and was discovered by them."

After Shen Yiran heard Li Yue's narration, she was even more shocked. She knew that this matter was very serious, as it concerned the bloodline of the royal family. Once the truth came to light, it would definitely lead to unpredictable consequences.

Shen Yiran narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment and asked, "Have you ever mentioned this to anyone else?"

Li Yue shook her head and said sadly, "Since that day, I have been in a state of amnesia until I fell today and regained my memory. I have never mentioned this to anyone else."

Li Yue paused for a moment and continued, "Princess, you are the lifesaver of Ge'er and me. I have just recovered my memory, and when I thought about this matter involving the Prime Minister's Mansion, I immediately came to report to you."

Shen Yiran nodded slightly, his eyes full of sincerity and gratitude. "Li Yue, you came to tell me this as soon as you recovered your memory, which shows your sincerity.

"I have already helped save your and Pigeon's lives, so I will not sit idly by and watch. Don't worry, I will handle this matter properly."

She stepped forward and gently held Li Yue's hand, her tone gentle but firm. "Your experience is heartbreaking, and those evil people's behavior is really intolerable.

But don't be afraid. I'm here and I won't let them get away with it. You and Ge'er can just stay in Huaxi Garden."

Shen Yiran's eyes revealed wisdom and courage, as if giving Li Yue a reassurance. Li Yue looked at Shen Yiran, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that she had found the right person this time, and the Crown Prince's Consort would definitely seek justice for her.

At this point, Shen Yiran realized that if she wanted to uncover this shocking secret, she had to act cautiously. First, she needed to find more evidence to confirm Li Yue's statement.

She looked at Li Yue, who was still a little nervous, and felt a surge of pity in her heart.

Shen Yiran poured a glass of water for Li Yue, "Drink a glass of water first."

Li Yue took the cup with both hands, her slightly trembling hands showing her inner uneasiness. Shen Yiran said softly: "Li Yue, don't be afraid. Since you chose to tell me about this, I will do my best to do justice for you. This matter is of great importance, and we need to think carefully."

Li Yue took a sip of water and calmed down a little. Shen Yiran began to think carefully about the next steps.

"Li Yue, do you still remember where Wang Dashu's home is? If I let you see Wang Dashu and Zhang Damei again now, can you recognize them?" Shen Yiran's eyes were firm and his tone was steady and powerful.

Li Yue said firmly, "Princess, it has been more than 20 years since this happened. Their appearance must have changed a lot. I may not be able to recognize them at first glance. However, their voices are like lingering nightmares to me. As long as I hear them, I can definitely tell them apart."

At this moment, Li Yue bit her lips tightly, her eyes full of resentment. The experience of more than 20 years ago seemed to reappear in front of her, the anger in her heart was burning, and the pain was also like a shadow. The two emotions intertwined, making her look more and more sad and angry.

Shen Yiran nodded slightly, and said solemnly: "That's good. To ensure the safety of you and Ge'er, this matter must not be mentioned to anyone else. From now on, you will still act in the identity I gave you before in Huaxi Garden. You are still my cousin, remember?"

Li Yue quickly responded, "Don't worry, Princess, I will definitely remember this."

Shen Yiran nodded slightly and said gently, "Okay, you go down first. Remember, don't let the wound come into contact with water, and take good care of yourself."

Li Yue bowed and left respectfully. Shen Yiran looked at Li Yue's departing back, frowning, thinking secretly about how to further investigate the child swap.

Suddenly, Shen Yiran's mind flashed with the parent-child report of Prime Minister Ren and Ice Face. Could they be related to this matter?
