Capítulo 398: BuscandoO perhaps something had happened in a past life that she was unaware of, making the little girl and Song Mo closer?But how could it be when she, a mistress’s child, raised by a mother with such character flaws, found herself in a difficult position?What incident could have improved her relationship with Song Mo?Du Zhao felt that everything about this was suspicious.She confided in Chen Quishui.Chen Quishui quedó sorprendida y luego le culpó: "¿Por qué no me lo
dijiste antes, Señora?"Whether that child is Duke Lu or not, we can plot something. Let the Duke of Lu suffer in silence, unable to express his pain. If we could take this opportunity to force him to hand over matters concerning the Duke’s Mansion to Prince Ziyun, it would be even better."Du Zhao had truly not considered this.She gently said: "Using a girl as leverage against the Duke of Lu might be dishonorable;it's better to avoid it if possible."Chen Quishui
nodded in relief. "Even if that child is indeed Duke Lu’s, he will have to fetch her back once she has been married off, and it would merely add to his dowry. That’s why the prince must treat her like a younger sister, isn’t it?Moreover, whether or not the Duke of Lu acknowledges this child is uncertain;what do you have to worry about?"Indeed!What did she have to be worried about?Song Yichun was meticulous in choosing concubines with a clear family
background. Even if that child were his, he might not acknowledge her. And now, as for whether the child was even Song Yichun's, it was still uncertain;there was no need to worry yet.She focused on Liuzhu’s coming out ceremony.Every afternoon, she visited Lady Jiang’s residence and looked for anything she could help with.Lady Jiang gradually became acquainted with Du Zhao. Impressed by her amiable nature, she sometimes introduced the female guests who came to add to Liuzhu's trousseau to Du
Zhao.These women greeted Du Zhao politely, praising Song Mo's noble character and kindness despite the decline of the Jiang family. They praised him for still coming to support them without disdain.Du Zhao, though, was courteous in response: "I am but doing my duty;you flatter me too much." But she also felt a deep breath of relief.That was no wonder why Emperor Zhenzong had ordered the full destruction of the Jiang family. The popularity they enjoyed among lower and middle-ranking military
officials made their support for Viscount Jiang’s case so significant that it led to their downfall.She could not help but feel fortunate she wasn’t reborn in this life, never imagining the emperor would kill Viscount Jiang over such a trivial matter.It was clear everything had its predetermined path.As Du Zhao pondered, an epiphany struck her. Could it be that Prince Liao was so insistent on keeping Song Mo due to this reason?He wanted to recruit officers from the Divine Mechanism
