Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

When Lieutenant General Niu saw Boss Yan's expression, he knew that he must have discovered something, so he hurried over.

Yan Nangui whispered a few words to him, and then Lieutenant General Niu led his men out.

For a moment, Yan Nangui and Nanny Li were the only two people left in the interrogation room.

At this moment, Nanny Li's brows were tightly furrowed together, because the wound on her right hand had begun to cause excruciating pain, as if her hand was being burned on a raging fire, which was unbearable.

"Jiang Muyu? How many years has it been since anyone called you by this name?" Yan Nangui suddenly spoke, causing Nanny Li, who was trying hard to endure the pain, to open her eyes immediately.

Did they even know this? Then, the things that happened before I entered the palace should have been dug up by them.

"Do you think your Tan Lang allowed you to enter the palace because he trusted you, and then buried you there for twenty years? Do you know how carefree and carefree your Tan Lang has been living in the past twenty years?" Yan Nangui chatted with her leisurely, and his tone was as natural as if they were good friends.

"Not only does he live a carefree life, he has also trained your daughter to be a master at creating illusions. She must have helped him do a lot of bad things on a daily basis."

Jiang Muyu had been in the palace for twenty-two years. In her fifth year, she was assigned to work in the cold palace, where she stayed for more than a year. During this period, no one had even really seen her. A year and a half later, the three people who had worked with her in the cold palace died one after another.

Something must have happened during this period of time. Others made mistakes and were punished to go to the cold palace, but she was not. After coming out of the cold palace, someone mentioned that she had gained a lot of weight.

Li Junhao boldly guessed that Jiang Muyu must have been pregnant at that time, and gave birth to the child secretly in the cold palace with the help of someone.

Following this line of thought, they asked around and even looked for the old palace servants from that time. Finally, they found an eunuch who accidentally discovered the clue and said that he had seen Nanny Li holding a baby who was still in confinement and handing it to a guard.

He was hiding behind a tree and lazing around, but he happened to hear their conversation.

"Tell him to treat our daughter well and let her grow up safely. This is my only request. Please help me pass on my message."

Nanny Li said this with great reluctance at the time, and after looking at her daughter with tears in her eyes for a few times, she finally covered the basket.

The guard then said, "Don't worry, Miss Jiang, I will definitely bring him here. The master has asked you to write down some of the techniques of illusion and find a way to give it to him. He also needs someone like this outside the palace to cooperate with you. I wonder if you have written it down yet."

Nanny Li nodded. "It's in the basket. No matter what, please don't let our daughter get involved in these things again. Just let her be an ordinary person."

The guard nodded. Before leaving, he asked again, "Miss, have you checked? Does your daughter have any birthmarks? If you haven't, there's still time to check now, so you don't have any trouble recognizing her in the future."

It was also the guard's reminder that Li Ma said softly, "There is a heart-shaped birthmark on her left wrist. This is enough."

After the guards left, the old man hid behind the tree for a long time. It was not until long after they all left that he came out from behind the tree, trembling all over.

He knew that if such a thing happened in the palace, it would definitely be a capital crime. If someone could secretly give birth to a child in the palace without being discovered, then the person behind it must be someone he could not afford to offend.

So he pretended that he knew nothing and kept the secret for seventeen or eighteen years. If someone hadn't brought it up again, and it was someone from the Eastern Palace, he would have almost died with this secret in his grave.

As luck would have it, when Yan Nangui was interrogating Sun Wanqing and her parents, the peddler and his daughter who delivered goods to their house mentioned by them were very suspicious. When he brought the father and daughter over, Yan Nangui accidentally caught a glimpse of a heart-shaped birthmark on the woman's wrist.

"Ah ah..." Nanny Li, no, it should be Jiang Muyu, she looked at Yan Nangui excitedly at this time, uttering meaningless syllables from her mouth and a "ho ho" sound in her throat.

Yan Nangui chuckled in his heart, it seems that this clue should be the right one. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really amazing. He was able to find out such secret information. His ability should not be underestimated. Although he is a black-hearted person, he will have to be careful when he sees him in the future.

After a while, Deputy General Niu and two guards came in with a woman.

The woman looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and slender. Her features were somewhat similar to Jiang Muyu's, but her complexion was not as fair and rosy as hers. Instead, her skin was rough, dark and pale, and even the white teeth that showed when she spoke were dotted with yellow and black spots.

When Yan Nangui saw them coming in, he didn't care that Jiang Muyu was still screaming "Ahhh", but sat back in his seat and asked the woman who had just been brought in in a stern voice, "What's your name, and what do you usually do?"

The woman looked ignorant and fearless. She did not kneel when she saw Yan Nangui. She just stood there and answered, "My name is Xiao Cui. I usually follow my father and work as a peddler on the streets."

Although she said so, she didn't look like a peddler at all. Those peddlers walking around the streets knew how to read people's expressions and speak tactfully, but this woman didn't understand the ways of the world at all. Her speech was stiff and her expression didn't even show a smile.

"Peddler? On May 23, did you go to the residence of Grand Tutor Sun with your father and meet Miss Sun Wanqing?"

Xiao Cui did not show any significant change in response to Yan Nangui's question. Instead, Jiang Muyu, who was tied to the bench, suddenly became quiet and looked in Xiao Cui's direction.

"It's been several days, I can't remember clearly. We have to go to many places every day, and I have forgotten even if I have been there." Xiao Cui answered very fluently. Calling herself "I" in front of Yan Nangui was a very disrespectful act, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all.

"Deputy General Niu, then you should remind this Miss Xiao Cui."

"Yes." Deputy General Niu agreed, then turned around and asked, "On May 23, you and your father went to the residence of Grand Tutor Sun. You followed the maid to the backyard and personally delivered some small items that Miss Sun had ordered from you, including a strange handkerchief."
