Yun Xi was displaced in the countryside for seventeen years. One day, she was found, only to tragically die on a rainy night.
She was forced to be a surrogate for her legitimate elder sister,...
Chapter 580
As soon as Chen Qiang finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally all looked at Madam Yun.
Of course, such a thing doesn't exist!
Those present were all women, most of whom were mothers. Even so, they still couldn't understand why Madam Yun would not make amends to her own daughter and instead treat her so cruelly.
Madam Yun's face turned deathly pale.
How did Yunxi become the daughter of the Huo family of the Yunnan Prince's Mansion?!
That must be the child she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy!
Stared at with all sorts of unpleasant looks, Madam Yun's lips moved for a long time before she finally uttered only a few words: "This...this is impossible!"
Madam Yun didn't believe it, but Yun Xi was in the backyard, so Zhong Jie took her there.
——
Shanshui Residence.
The courtyard wasn't quiet; the children's laughter made Madam Chen and Yunxi laugh along with them.
As Madam Yun followed Zhong Jie into the Shanshui Residence, she was immediately struck by a burst of laughter, leaving her looking bewildered.
Soon, she saw Yunxi.
Yunxi was dressed casually, without any deliberate effort. She stood in the courtyard, and all the rare flowers and plants became mere foils to her.
Upon seeing this, Madam Yun's face turned extremely pale.
In this palace, she had to dress up carefully and be cautious in her words and actions, but Yunxi was as at ease as if she were at home.
Upon seeing Madam Yun approaching, Yun Xi's smile immediately faded.
Madam Chen told the wet nurse to take the child away, a cold glint appearing in her eyes.
This was the first time she had ever met Madam Yun.
Madam Yun looked at no one but stared at Yun Xi.
"It's only been a short time since we last met, doesn't Madam recognize me?" Yunxi said with a sarcastic smile.
Madam Yun suddenly came to her senses.
She suddenly took two steps forward, grabbed Yunxi's wrist, and dragged her outside: "What nonsense are you talking about? Come on, come home with me!"
Seeing that Madam Yun dared to take action directly, both Zhong Jie and Madam Chen's expressions changed.
Zhong Jie stepped forward, grabbed Madam Yun's wrist, and with a sudden pull, Madam Yun cried out in pain and instinctively let go.
"Madam Yun, this is my child," Zhong Jie said, standing protectively in front of Yun Xi like a mother wolf guarding her cub, her eyes flashing with ferocity. "You dare to lay a hand on me right in front of me? You're not taking the Yunnan Prince's Mansion seriously!"
With those words, a sense of oppression spread out.
Madam Yun's face turned pale: "No, there must be a mistake! No! She is my child!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Yun suddenly froze.
Now that Zhong Jie and Yun Xi are standing together, she is shocked to realize how similar the two look!
When the three of them stand together, the two of them clearly look more like a mother and daughter!
"No, this is impossible..."
Madam Yun shook her head repeatedly. She subconsciously stepped back, but tripped over the trailing hem of her skirt on the ground, and ended up sitting on the ground in a disheveled state.
When she looked up again, tears were streaming down her face: "This can't be! She's my child! Yunxi, come with me, come back with me!"
"Mother was wrong, Mother shouldn't have treated you like that, but Mother had no choice, it was for the good of our family after all!"
"You can only prosper if our family prospers. But what will you do if our family falls apart? Who will provide you with a life of luxury?!"
Madam Chen scoffed, "Xi'er doesn't need a life of luxury. Even without those material possessions, she can still live a good life!"
"Exactly! Is our Yunnan Prince's Mansion any less wealthy than yours? What's so difficult about living in luxury? If it weren't for your Yun family getting involved, this child wouldn't have had to suffer so much!"
