2835. Chapter 2835 Retribution will eventually come 【12】
Mother Li came to her senses when she heard the cold voice of the eldest princess. She hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
The eldest princess waved her hand, "No need to be polite, just sit down."
Mother Li has been the eldest princess for so many years, and she knows very well what kind of person the eldest princess is. If something really happened, it was definitely not Mother Li's idea, and she must have been forced to do so.
Mother Li seemed to know something. She was uneasy. She rubbed her hands and didn't dare to sit. She just knelt aside.
The eldest princess did not waste any more time and just asked: "Mother Li, back then I gave the child to you and asked you to protect the princess and wait for me to come back to pick you up. What happened after I left."
Mother Li subconsciously wanted to tell the same story as before. After telling the lie a thousand times, she herself believed it to be true.
But just as she was about to speak, she heard the eldest princess snorting coldly.
Although the eldest princess is cold and arrogant, she has always been kind to her servants, and she has never been so cold and stern.
Mother Li shuddered and swallowed subconsciously. She wanted to lie, but the guilt she had felt over the years made her anxious all day long. Because of fear, she came to the eldest princess as little as possible.
Whenever she faced the princess, she would feel even more guilty, and couldn't help but think of that little baby who was only ten days old, so delicate, so soft, so weak, so...
It was she who threw the child away with her own hands.
Because she had no choice. If she didn't throw away the child, she and her family would be killed.
But she didn't feel better after throwing away the child. She was frightened and threatened all her life.
"Princess, what's the matter? This old slave has said everything he needs to say, and there is absolutely nothing to hide." As she spoke, tears flowed down, and then she slowly lowered her head.
The eldest princess asked Fu Chun to show her the chain, "Then what is this?"
Mother Li took a look and said doubtfully: "This is the princess's necklace."
She didn't understand what was wrong.
The eldest princess said coldly: "Mother Li, take a closer look, is it really the princess's? Doesn't the princess's belong to her own hands?"
Mother Li was right when she thought about it. The princess's chain had always been in the dowry box, and she had seen it the day before she came.
She made up her mind, thinking that this might not be the case, so she became a little bolder.
The eldest princess asked again: "Mother Li, did you really keep that child with you after I left?"
Mother Li said quietly: "Yes, yes."
The eldest princess said sternly: "Raise your head and answer me."
Mother Li raised her head and met the eldest princess's cold and stern eyes. She shivered with fright, feeling that the princess seemed to know something.
She also wanted to hide it because she couldn't face the consequences of admitting the truth, "Princess, I didn't lie, no..."
The eldest princess's face became colder and colder. Although Mother Li didn't admit it, looking at her expression, the eldest princess knew that something must have happened back then.
She tried hard to make sure that she was trying the case, not her own case. Everything had nothing to do with her, it was just an old incident from that year, and she needed to know the answer. Only in this way could she restrain herself and not let herself get too excited.
