Chapter 964: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (eighty-six)
Zhou herself refused to admit it, but she was afraid that Zhou Zhiying would say something she shouldn't.
It was only a quarter of an hour, but Zhou felt as if a year had passed. She was in great torment.
In the court, Lord Du continued to interrogate other witnesses.
The prince consort had already left with the princess, leaving only a few attendants from the princess's mansion.
Qingli was a little bored, so while waiting, she had to ask Qiqi to relay the princess's movements.
Judging from the fact that Zhou Zhiying confessed so quickly at the horse farm, in her heart, she did not actually regard the *** as her own support. It was not in line with Zhou Zhiying's character that she would not rely on her status as a county lord to act arrogantly when encountering problems. Therefore, Qingli guessed that Zhou Zhiying might have known her own life experience.
Zhou Zhiying's psychological quality was indeed not good. When the big boss questioned her and Zhou Rou why they pretended to be her daughter and why they wanted to harm her daughter.
Zhou Zhiying was trembling all over and denied it at first, but after being threatened by the police, who said that they would make her pay for her daughter's death, she knelt down and confessed, saying that she was really innocent, that she did not mean it, and that she knew nothing about what happened that year.
The eldest daughter and her husband really heard the news from Zhou Zhiying, but they were even more shocked. Their daughter really had died a long time ago.
Another reason why the Queen Mother suspected that Zhou had replaced her daughter was that she had been too peaceful in recent years. If her biological daughter was really buried in the mountain behind Dajue Temple, she would definitely go to Dajue Temple often to pray for her daughter and light a perpetual lamp for her daughter.
But Zhou hadn't been to Dajue Temple in years, and had clearly forgotten her little daughter, buried in the hills behind. Was she afraid of being reminded of her past, or was she feeling guilty?
When the eldest daughter-in-law brought Zhou Zhiying back to the court, Zhou Zhiying's panic-stricken expression and the look in the eyes of the princess and her husband who wanted to kill her suddenly bent down.
Zhou Zhiying fell to the ground and cried to Zhou.
"Mother, save me, I don't want to die. Her Royal Highness the Princess said she would exile me to the southwestern border and never let me come back. Wuuwuwuwu..."
Zhou's weakness is her own daughter. Her hands are stained with blood for her daughter. How can she accept her daughter being exiled? What good will exile have? She will most likely die before reaching the southwest.
"Brother, Princess, it's my sister who made a big mistake. I've let the real county lady down. I'm willing to pay with my life. I only ask you to let Zhizhi go. She's your niece after all!"
After saying this, Zhou threw herself against the pillar. Madam Jing was quick to pull her back. Zhou's forehead was only slightly red, and the skin was not broken. The eldest lady was filled with anger, "You want to die? It's not that easy."
She said to the Jingzhao Yin: "I will go to the palace immediately. I hope Lord Du will keep the prisoners under guard. I don't want my enemy to be freed so quickly. She must repent sincerely, live well, and atone for the crime of my daughter."
Lord Du naturally agreed.
"Wow, princess, please forgive Zhizhi, you and your brother. I was confused at the time. I looked at the baby in my arms and had evil intentions. This has nothing to do with Zhizhi."
The big *** couldn't help it and slapped her again.
"If my daughter were still alive and you took good care of her, even if the baby-swapping was exposed, I would still be willing to spare your life. But now, you must live well, experience all the pain, and suffer until you die! Your daughter won't have a good ending either!"
The Queen Mother went into the palace angrily. She wanted to ask for severe punishment of Zhou Rou and Zhou Zhiying, the mother and daughter, and to build a new tomb for her daughter. Her daughter had been living alone in the mountain behind the temple for all these years. As a mother, she really deserved to die!
The farce ended and Qingli got up and returned home. Before leaving, she told Aying not to worry, she would be able to go back soon, at most in three days, or even tomorrow.
Ah Ying was in good spirits. She wasn't a prisoner, living in Jingzhao Prefecture, where her treatment was much better than that of prisoners. It was just that she hadn't left the village in so many years, and she missed her uncles and aunts. But soon, her life would return to normal.
Qingli left Jingzhao Prefecture and looked at the tall figure in front of the gate. She couldn't help but smile. Why was he here?
