Fang Ruotang, a frail and unremarkable girl from the Prime Minister’s household,
one day found herself pestered by a tiny, cutesy creature called the Mirror of Reversal—
and it star...
[I find these families quite strange. I remember when Aunt Hui gave birth to my eighth and ninth sisters, my mother personally stood guard there, and no ghosts or monsters were allowed to get close. How come it is that other families always seem to have children go missing?]
[The child that went missing at the residence of the Grand Master of the Palace was caused by the midwife being bribed. Years ago, the Grand Master's wife and her sister also had twins and married around the same time. However, her sister's husband died a few months after their marriage, and she harbored resentment towards her sister, switching her sister's children so she could experience the pain of losing a loved one.]
Fang Ruotang's face was full of question marks, almost to the point of being tangible.
Not to mention her, even the mistresses of various mansions who had rushed out to watch the spectacle without regard for their reputations when they heard that Fang Ruotang was here did not understand the connection between the two.
Fortunately, they were people who had seen a lot of things, and to be honest, they tried to find the source, but failed.
Lady Guanglu remembered that her midwife had been sent to her by her sister. But how could she possibly be wary of her own sister, who shared the same mother?
[Actually, her sister originally wanted to exchange the baby for a boy, but Lady Guanglu was pregnant with twins and gave birth prematurely. Her sister couldn't find a recently deceased baby boy, so she settled for a recently deceased baby girl, thinking that the blow of losing a baby boy wouldn't be as great, but it was still the loss of a child.]
Fang Ruotang: ...
Everyone: ...
Huang Jinrong looked at San Niang with guilt. It turned out that all the suffering San Niang had endured over the years was for him. He was the one who should have been taken away and carelessly abandoned in the back mountain.
Third Sister stared blankly into space.
"Mother, let's go into the mansion first," Huang Jinrong said, her voice filled with unconcealed pain.
The whole story is clear now, and he doesn't want his family to stay and be made a spectacle of themselves.
