Chapter 232 The Truth About the Real and Fake Heiresses

Yu Chunyue covered his mouth tightly.

This matter concerns his deepest, most buried secret, which he absolutely cannot reveal!

cannot!

Yu Zhiyi was somewhat surprised, not expecting Yu Chunyue to be so resistant to this matter.

Generally speaking, people who have affixed the Truth Talisman are unable to resist its effects, unless they are extremely determined or the thing they want to bury is their deepest secret.

But it's not a big problem.

Yu Zhiyi repeated, "What is the truth behind the real and fake heiresses?"

This time, her voice was imbued with spiritual power.

Unable to resist any longer, Yu Chunyue finally let go of her hand.

When Zheng saw that he actually intended to tell the truth, she screamed, "Don't say it!"

Then her eyes rolled back, as if she was about to faint.

Yu Zhiyi pointed: "Don't pretend to be dizzy yet. Wait until he finishes speaking before you start."

Zheng: "..."

She really couldn't close her eyes or fall down!

At this moment, Yu Chunyue could no longer resist the effect of the truth-telling talisman and began to speak: "Qiao is a distant aunt of my fellow villager. When I returned to my hometown to visit relatives, I saw that Qiao was all alone and helpless, so I thought of bringing her to Shengjing to take care of her."

"My wife was two months pregnant at the time, and we were passing through Tianan County..."

As Yu Chunyue recounted his story, the truth about the real and fake heiresses was finally revealed.

Eighteen years ago, Yu Chunyue had just taken office as the Vice Minister of Revenue, but due to the death of his elderly father, he had to return to his hometown with his wife to observe mourning.

The Great Sheng Empire had relatively lenient regulations regarding mourning for officials; officials only needed to observe mourning for one year.

Moreover, couples are not prohibited from having sexual relations during the mourning period.

Yu Jiaojiao was conceived during this period.

When the mourning period ended, Yu Jiaojiao was almost two months old. However, because she weighed only a little over five pounds at birth and only a little over six pounds at almost two months old, it was not unbelievable that she was just born.

After the mourning period ended, Yu Chunyue was eager to return to the capital to report on his duties, so he immediately set off with his family.

When they passed through Tianan County, the group looked for an inn to rest, but that day was the most important festival in Tianan County, the Water Prayer Festival.

The city was overcrowded, and almost all the inns were full.

The group searched for many inns and finally found one with one superior room left, only to have it snatched away by a pregnant woman who had gotten there first.

Zheng, relying on her status, tried to use her power to intimidate others, but the pregnant woman was not afraid at all, and the shopkeeper did not give Zheng any face, which made Zheng very angry.

If the group hadn't found an abandoned house when they entered the city and stayed there for the night, they would have had to sleep on the streets that night.

The more Zheng thought about it, the more unwilling she became, so she sent someone to teach the pregnant woman a lesson.

The pregnant woman was already close to giving birth, but the people sent by Zheng disturbed her, and she went into labor immediately.

Fearing that someone might die, the thugs didn't dare to continue and went back to report.

Zheng knew that the pregnant woman was alone in her room and that she and her unborn child could die at any moment, but she didn't care. She just cursed the woman in her heart for daring to take her room.

Little did they know, the woman was no ordinary person, but the daughter-in-law of the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance.

The Martial Alliance is the largest force in the martial arts world, and any martial artist with a bit of reputation considers it an honor to join it.

It is said that the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance is extremely skilled in martial arts, and if he wanted to, he could even take the head of the emperor.

The Wulin Alliance's headquarters are located in Tianan County.

No one knows why the daughter-in-law of the martial arts alliance leader would not stay at home in the middle of the night, but instead go to the city alone. In any case, she almost lost both her child and her body that night.

The next day, people from the Martial Arts Alliance came knocking on the door.

In recent years, the martial arts alliance has grown stronger and stronger, and its influence is even showing signs of surpassing that of the imperial court.

The daughter-in-law of the leader of the martial arts alliance is equivalent to the crown princess of the martial arts alliance.

The child in her belly is a little prince and a little princess.

On their own turf, their own Crown Princess was actually murdered. This is outrageous!

By the time the Zheng family realized the enormity of their actions, they had already faced retaliation from the martial arts alliance.

At the critical moment, Yu Chunyue decided to cut his losses and save himself.

He left all his men and supplies in Tian'an County, while he only took Zheng Shi with him, intending to disguise himself and sneak out of the city.

Just as the two were about to set off, a mysterious person suddenly descended from the sky and gave them a baby girl.

The mysterious man told them that the baby girl was the newborn granddaughter of the martial arts alliance leader who was chasing them. He said that as long as they took the baby girl with them and used her as a shield at a critical moment, they would be able to leave Tianan County safely.

Neither of them thought there was anything wrong with this method.

So they set off with the baby girl.

Whether the mysterious man's arrangements worked or the baby girl was simply blessed, ever since they had the baby, although they were constantly pursued along the way, they were always able to escape danger.

In the closest she came to death, Zheng decided to take responsibility for her actions alone. She took the granddaughter of the martial arts alliance leader with her, while placing her own daughter in her husband's arms, allowing her husband and Qiao to leave with their daughter.

Afterwards, the martial arts alliance members caught up with them. Seeing that Zheng had been abandoned by her husband and that there were only orphans and widows in the scene, the group of kind-hearted martial arts people ultimately couldn't bring themselves to turn their knives on them. They simply made Zheng write a letter of self-reproach to apologize to the daughter-in-law of the martial arts alliance leader.

Zheng returned safely to Shengjing, but Yu Chunyue arrived in the capital half a month late due to delays on the road.

At that time, the martial arts alliance also entered the capital. Zheng learned through her own channels that these martial arts masters stayed up all night every day, flying around the capital searching for the martial arts alliance's "little princess". She was so frightened that she sent someone to inform her husband not to bring his own daughter into the capital.

The martial arts alliance searched for the "Little Princess" for a full ten years.

All the forces were withdrawn from Shengjing only after the old leader died and the new leader took office.

It was precisely because of this that Yu Chunyue and his wife dared to switch the child back.

But by then the two children's appearances had already been set, so it was impossible to switch them back quietly. That's why there was the scene where Mrs. Qiao came to apologize and offered her life as atonement.

In fact, Qiao Shi did not die. She was just seriously injured and was secretly sent to the home of a doctor trusted by Yu Chunyue to recuperate after being carried away.

Right now, he's enjoying himself in his estate outside the city.

Under Zheng's humiliated and indignant gaze, Yu Chunyue continued to speak: "If the martial arts alliance hadn't grown stronger over the years and hadn't colluded with many high-ranking and powerful figures in the court, I wouldn't have had to wrong my daughter for ten years!"

After hearing the truth, a question mark slowly appeared above everyone's heads: "?"

Wasn't it you who, in order to save your own lives, forcibly imprisoned the innocent granddaughter of the former martial arts alliance leader and the current martial arts alliance leader's niece by your side?
