After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 481: His Intentions Are Not Good
Qin Jingshu felt sad when she heard this. In fact, she didn't notice anything unusual at first.

After all, her aunt had always told her that she loved her like her own daughter.

"Aunt." Qin Jingshu called.

The second wife's eyes were filled with sadness. She said, "Call me...mother..."

Qin Jingshu looked at her half-dead state and did not correct the other party's address. She even thought that this was what her aunt wanted.

"Mom." Qin Jingshu shouted.

The second wife immediately showed unprecedented satisfaction on her face.

She raised her hand as if to touch her daughter's face.

Qin Jingshu realized her intention and took the initiative to lift her hand and put it on her face.

"That's great..." the second lady murmured.

Qin Jingshu only felt her eyes sore, but she still said, "Aunt, I'll go ask the Concubine Xian to send a doctor to check your pulse."

The second wife shook her head: "Good child, don't do these things... I'm going to die..."

Qin Jingshu was unwilling to see the female elder who was the best to her in Duke Xianguo's Mansion leave at such a young age.

Before her daughter came back, the second wife had already prepared today's remarks in her mind countless times.

"Good boy, listen carefully to what I am telling you now, and don't tell anyone else." said the second lady.

Qin Jingshu nodded vigorously.

The second wife raised her eyelids with great effort, as if she wanted to see if there was anyone else in the room, or if someone outside was eavesdropping.

Her maid Xiaoqing came in and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I'll be guarding outside the door."

When she was finally sure that there were no outsiders around, the second lady spoke up and said, "You are my biological daughter."

When Qin Jingshu heard this, the confusion in her eyes was not fake.

"The Duke's wife and I were both pregnant at the same time, and we both had girls. I also asked the Imperial Master to read my fortune thanks to Concubine Li's relationship. The Imperial Master concluded that the Duke's wife was carrying the future queen."

Qin Jingshu remembered this incident; Lady Xianguogong had once told her about it.

The Second Madam was now so ill that she had no strength at all. She was out of breath after saying this. After a long rest, she continued, "I had evil thoughts at the time and wanted my daughter to be the future queen, so I secretly replaced the child born by the Duke's wife with you as soon as she was born."

Qin Jingshu felt her pupils tremble when she heard this. She never thought that the Second Madam would do such a big thing in the Duke's Mansion. She also didn't expect that she was not the biological daughter of the Duke Xian's wife.

"Child, I'm telling you this today not to make you recognize your relatives, but to let you know that the person who was judged by fate has returned. You must be careful with her. She is here to snatch your fate as queen. She is not your friend, but your enemy!"

Qin Jingshu frowned slightly when she heard this and asked, "Where did you send that cousin?"

The Second Madam shook her head and said, "It's my fault that my people were careless. I asked them to deal with the child, but I didn't expect that he would still survive."

Qin Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief. Her mother's words did not make her wary of her cousin whose identity she did not know. Instead, she felt guilty.

"How has she lived these years?" Upon hearing this question, the second wife looked at her daughter strangely and asked, "Do you sympathize with her?"

Qin Jingshu lowered her head and said, "She was supposed to be the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, but you sent someone to deal with her. If she wasn't lucky, she wouldn't have survived, right?"

Qin Jingshu is a bit dull about some things, but she is extremely sharp at certain times.

The second wife avoided her daughter's questioning gaze. What mother in this world would want her daughter to know how cruel she is?

"I had no choice...it was Concubine Li who forced me to do it..." The Second Lady tried to put all the blame on Concubine Li.

Qin Jingshu may be blinded by emotions, but she can see clearly when it comes to life and death. She looked at the second wife calmly: "You can actually let someone take good care of her instead of dealing with her, right?"

The second wife felt that her daughter's gaze was as hot as a boiling charcoal fire, making her dare not look directly at it.

But she still refused to admit her mistake, and said: "I have not had a good life these years! I just did this one wrong thing! But I have never been pregnant again in all these years! I can't give birth to a boy. Do you know how much cold eyes I have suffered in these years? I have already received retribution, isn't it enough?"

Qin Jingshu looked at the other person and never felt so much as she did at that moment that the kind-hearted second aunt in her memory had turned into such a horrible appearance.

"Aunt, you should know that these things have nothing to do with her." Qin Jingshu said.

The second wife stared at him with a pair of bloodshot eyes and said, "Of course she has something to do with it. Anyone who wants to harm her will be in trouble. She is an evil spirit and she was born to be eliminated! You are my daughter, who are you talking to? Have I thrown all my love for you in vain?"

Qin Jingshu's heart gradually grew colder.

She even felt a little regretful that she should not have left the palace. The person in front of her did not seem like a respectable elder, but more like a ghost from hell.

"Promise me that you will be on guard against her! She is none other than your good friend Gu Xi!"

After saying this, the second wife grabbed her daughter's hand tightly.

Qin Jingshu's eyes suddenly widened. She didn't expect that the person she was swapped with was Niu Niu!
She thought about how she inexplicably wanted to be close to Niu Niu, and how she always wanted to be better to this friend. It seemed that the reason for everything had been found at this moment.

"Promise me, I'm about to die, can't you let me go with peace of mind?" The second wife grabbed her daughter's sleeve and asked.

Qin Jingshu felt sad. She always felt that Lady Xianguogong didn't really treat her as her daughter. The second aunt in front of her didn't seem to be much different from Lady Xianguogong.

"Is being a queen so important to you?" Qin Jingshu asked.

The second wife said, "You are my only child, so I naturally hope that you will get the best of everything in the world. I did all these things for you. Why don't you understand my painstaking efforts?"

Qin Jingshu felt that she couldn't wake up a person pretending to sleep, so she looked away and said, "Aunt, you rest assured. I will ask a doctor for you, and he will definitely cure your illness."

The Second Madam did not let go, but held on to Qin Jingshu tightly: "My illness will never be cured."

"You are not old enough to..."

The second wife interrupted her daughter and said, "If the Li family falls, my illness will never be cured."

Qin Jingshu's face was filled with horror.

"You must promise me that you will be on guard against Gu Xi and snatch her husband away. This is the only request I, as a mother, make of you before I die!"
