Chapter 1578 - 1425: Fake Commandery Princess 35
Listening to Qin Peijun’s various praises for Ye Shuangshuang, Zhao Wan also had a full-faced smile, looking proud.
Although at first, Zhao Wan was unhappy with Ye Shuangshuang’s resolute departure from Prince Nan Mansion, even thinking that Ye Shuangshuang was ungrateful.
But ever since Ye Shuangshuang received the Emperor’s commendation last time, there have often been people praising Zhao Wan for raising her children well and being a good mother, and many have sought her advice on parenting skills.
These praises slowly wore away Zhao Wan’s resentful energy, leaving only full pride, especially since this time Ye Shuangshuang gained such face, Zhao Wan could foresee seeing many envious and jealous faces in the future.
To know how excellent Shuangshuang is proves how well she, as a foster mother, did. After all, Shuangshuang was cultivated to be so outstanding by their Prince Nan Mansion.
While the Ye Family only took advantage of their birth parents’ status and reaped an unearned benefit, thinking of this, Zhao Wan still felt unwell, thinking Shuangshuang was overly sentimental, insisting on sharing hardships with her birth parents when they were in trouble.
Then she thought with some regret, it would have been better if nothing had happened to the Ye Family. This way, Ye Shuangshuang would still be their daughter, and it wouldn’t have benefited the Ye Family, gratuitously getting such a great daughter.
Thinking this way, Zhao Wan couldn’t help but complain to Qin Peijun: "Speaking of which, the Ye Family, too, failed in teaching their son, bringing about exile to Nanzhao, yet it’s a pity for my Shuangshuang to suffer alongside them.
Shuangshuang is a child we carefully taught, raised with boundless affection, having never suffered any hardships except when she insisted on practicing martial arts herself.
Now, although Shuangshuang is rewarded highly by the Emperor, who knows how much hardship this child has endured during these times to gain today’s reputation. Thinking of it makes me feel a pang of heartache."
Qin Peijun, being a man, thought differently from Zhao Wan: "Only by enduring hardship can one become a superior person. If Shuangshuang had stayed at our Prince Nan Mansion, she would forever just be a Commandery Princess of Prince Nan Mansion.
No one would dare let the Commandery Princess of Prince Nan Mansion take risks, and no one would seek a Commandery Princess for medical treatment. Shuangshuang wouldn’t have encountered so many things, and her medical skills would not have been revealed, nor would she have gained such a reputation..."
On the side, Qin Muchen was using chopsticks to poke at the grains in her bowl, having no appetite. Since Ye Shuangshuang went to treat patients of the plague last time, Qin Peijun and Zhao Wan have occasionally mentioned her.
This time, after the news of Ye Shuangshuang developing a medicine to treat malaria spread to the Capital City, the name Ye Shuangshuang has never left Zhao Wan and Qin Peijun’s mouths for even a day.
Now that Ye Shuangshuang has also been granted the title of Princess Renxin, Qin Peijun and Zhao Wan miss this foster daughter even more, not forgetting to talk about her while eating, completely forgetting their own biological daughter!
Qin Muchen’s eyes darkened, and a glance of resentment flashed in her eyes. This Ye Shuangshuang was really her nemesis, whether in the past life or this one, simply born to overcome her!
Qin Muchen had a secret; she was reborn. In her past life, after the Ye Family got into trouble, Qin Muchen returned to Prince Nan Mansion.
At that time, Qin Muchen, who was full of panic due to the Ye Family’s misfortune, felt only the relief of surviving a disaster upon returning to Prince Nan Mansion.
Regarding the decision of Qin Peijun and Zhao Wan to keep Ye Shuangshuang, Qin Muchen, though discontent, said nothing.
Because concerning the two newly acquainted birth parents, Qin Muchen was apprehensive and afraid of making her birth parents dislike her, so she could only suppress her dislike for Ye Shuangshuang, allowing her to continue enjoying life at Prince Nan Mansion.
But Qin Muchen’s discontent with Ye Shuangshuang never ceased for a day. Ye Shuangshuang was good at pleasing people, and although they were her own biological parents, they favored this foster daughter, always full of praises for her.
Although at the beginning Qin Peijun and Zhao Wan treated their biological daughter well, even more favorably than Ye Shuangshuang, the foster daughter, and increasingly treated her differently.
At that time, Qin Muchen was very happy, thinking she had finally surpassed Ye Shuangshuang, but good times didn’t last long.
The originally increasingly quieter and less noticeable Ye Shuangshuang unexpectedly displayed her medical skills at a banquet, saving the Eldest Princess of the dynasty!
The Eldest Princess is the Emperor’s eldest daughter, doted upon greatly. With the Eldest Princess’s admiration and the promotion of Ye Shuangshuang’s medical skills, Ye Shuangshuang began to gain a great reputation, and from then on, everyone knew the foster daughter’s unparalleled medical skills from Prince Nan Mansion.
Later, some noblewomen who were sick yet inconvenient to be treated by male Imperial Physicians began to seek out Ye Shuangshuang for treatment.
Then Ye Shuangshuang’s reputation grew bigger and bigger. In the end, even the concubines of the harem, including the Empress and Empress Dowager, sought Ye Shuangshuang for medical treatment, further boosting her fame.
Later, Ye Shuangshuang married a legitimate second son of a Marquis Mansion, who equally loved medical skills. He didn’t need to inherit the family business but had vast wealth left by his mother and grandmother.
Most importantly, he was not frivolous and lascivious, being dedicated and faithful, praised as an immortal couple, with no woman not envying Ye Shuangshuang. The two of them even opened a medical clinic together to treat diseases and save people, their fame spreading around the world.
A fake Commandery Princess, yet living so happily, contrary to herself, the true Commandery Princess, whose life was a mess. At first, she still had the love of her birth parents.
But since Ye Shuangshuang’s reputation soared, neither father Qin Peijun nor mother Zhao Wan mentioned or thought of anyone but this fake Commandery Princess who had usurped her identity.
They began to love Ye Shuangshuang, this foster daughter, immensely again, praising her everywhere, becoming increasingly distant from her own biological daughter.
Qin Muchen wasn’t willing to accept it, employing various means to seduce and marry the Third Prince, who was famously not interested in women. Back then, Qin Muchen only wanted to find someone with a high status, not frivolous, to live happier than Ye Shuangshuang.
Who knew that after getting married, she’d find out the Third Prince wasn’t truly disinterested in women, but had a beloved concubine of low status and feared she might be wronged, thus not taking concubines.
Although Qin Muchen married as the main wife, she was oppressed by her husband in every way, warned in various ways, fearing she might bully his beloved concubine.
Qin Muchen lived a very stifled life all her life, with her heart full of resentment, feeling she was clearly a Commandery Princess but grew up with the Ye Family. Although the Ye Family was wealthy, how could they compare to Prince Nan Mansion?
Upon returning to Prince Nan Mansion, there was Ye Shuangshuang repeatedly overshadowing her; first, robbing her identity, then snatching her parent’s love, always opposing her. Qin Muchen harbored intense resentment towards Ye Shuangshuang until her death in her past life.
Qin Muchen never expected to be reborn, especially reborn on the day the identities were about to be exchanged back.
Originally, Qin Muchen had decided that in this life, after returning to Prince Nan Mansion, she must take back everything Ye Shuangshuang took from her and let Ye Shuangshuang experience the stifling frustration she went through in her past life.
Qin Muchen’s past life’s days weren’t good, but she had learned quite a lot of house-fighting skills, and she imagined countless ways to deal with Ye Shuangshuang after returning to Prince Nan Mansion in her heart.
