Chapter 916 - 910: The Child Was Swapped by Mistake Back Then
"The jade pendant is mine."
Amidst the Empress’s vexation, she suddenly heard Jin Zijin utter such words.
The pieces she couldn’t connect in her mind immediately fell into place upon his declaration. His, his...
Right, Jin Zijin and Jin Fengzhao seemed to be about the same age. Back then, someone found Xiao Qinqin’s grave near Qi Mountain, and they saw an old crone worshiping there with a three-year-old girl.
At that time, whether it was people from the Crown Prince Residence or those secretly trained by the Ducal Residence, they had been searching for Xiao Qinqin for a long time.
They traced her to Lingnan but then lost her trail. She had already inquired about this, Xiao Qinqin had a special relationship with Yue Tingfang of the Lingnan Marquis Residence, suspecting that Yue Tingfang had hidden Xiao Qinqin.
The Ducal Residence had significant influence in Beijing, but it was not suitable to reach out to Lingnan... until years later, when someone discovered Xiao Qinqin’s grave at the foot of Qi Mountain.
It was then that she realized Xiao Qinqin had left Lingnan long ago, hidden by Yue Tingfang on Qi Mountain.
