The girl was slender and tall, with fair skin and striking features that made her large, clear eyes appear even more prominent. She wasn't unattractive; though thin, she had a naturally beautiful face with delicate features, her eyebrows and eyes somewhat resembling Lin's mother, and her nose somewhat resembling Lin's father.

The girl's eyebrows curved into crescents, her eyes gentle, and she looked at them with a generous smile, saying, "Mother, Father."

The Lin family was surprised when they saw the woman.

They always assumed that this legitimate daughter, raised by an ignorant peasant woman, must be a pitiful, thin, and poor woman, and that seeing them dressed in fine clothes, she must be insecure and introverted.

The girl was indeed thin, but she was not insecure.

The girl had gentle eyes and eyebrows, delicate features, and fair skin. Although she wasn't exactly a strikingly beautiful woman, she was definitely one who could inspire goodwill.

Looking at his eldest daughter, Lin's father's previous dislike for her subsided somewhat, and he said in a slightly gentler tone, "It's good that you're back. From now on, you should stay at home. If you need anything, just tell your mother. These... are your younger brothers and sisters. Introduce yourselves to your eldest sister."

Upon hearing Lin's father speak, the boys sitting upright, regardless of whether they wanted to or not, all opened their mouths and introduced themselves one by one.

"Hello, big sister. I am Lin Mufeng, the sixth in my family."

"Big sister, I am Lin Chenxi."

"I am Lin Wanyu."

"Lin Yanwei".

...

Through the lengthy introduction, Qingyin gained a profound understanding of just how "prosperous" her biological parents' extended family was.

But what impressed her most were her twin brother and sister, who shared the same parents. Lin Wanyu, dressed in a pink dress, was openly raising her fair chin and curiously looking at her, as proud as a little swan. Her brother, on the other hand, was like a cold little dog, who, despite having some affection in his eyes, pretended to be aloof and secretly looked at her.

Qingyin only noticed a few handsome young men who seemed to harbor a subtle dislike for her and the young man beside them.

Qingyin guessed that those were the two sons of Aunt Xiang, who didn't get along with Lin's mother.

Madam Lin was dignified and beautiful, with fair skin and gorgeous clothes. As she watched her approach, tears welled up in her eyes. She rose, took her hand, and choked out, "My daughter, you have suffered so much..."

Qingyin blinked.

Although Mrs. Lin's eyes were filled with tears, her gaze was indifferent and showed a kind of disdain. She couldn't see where the woman really liked her.

However, given that the original owner of this body was a girl raised in the countryside who had never seen much of the world, it was normal for her to be coaxed by Madam Lin.

Qingyin lowered her eyes and pretended to be moved, hiding the sarcasm in her eyes.

However, since Madam Lin is good at pretending, Qingyin is even better at it.

Her voice choked with emotion: "Mother, I thought I was dreaming, I never imagined... this was actually true, I..."

As she spoke, tears streamed down the pretty young girl's face, dripping onto her hand and causing Madam Lin to freeze.

Originally, Madam Lin's smile, which was meant to be a facade and show her kindness to the master, froze on the spot. The fastidious Madam Lin, who wished she could wash her hands immediately, said dryly, "Well, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Seeing Madam Lin's stiffness, Qingyin concealed the triumphant smile in her eyes and pretended not to notice anything as she rubbed the sleeve she was using to wipe her tears against Madam Lin.

Sure enough, Madam Lin's body became even stiffer.

She couldn't tell whether the girl in front of her was doing it on purpose or not. Looking at Qingyin's clear eyes filled with tears and the gazes coming from all around, she had no choice but to endure it.

Her eldest daughter doesn't understand interpersonal relationships; she can teach her more later.

Seeing Madam Lin's patient demeanor, Qingyin nodded secretly in satisfaction.

Lin Nanxu, who was watching the scene of motherly love and filial piety beside her, had a faint smile in his eyes.

A little fox with claws is wearing the skin of a soft, innocent rabbit.

Lin Wanyu, a naive and innocent girl who couldn't tell her mother was angry,

Seeing her mother becoming affectionate with her so-called second older sister, Lin Wanyu, the daughter who was always her mother's favorite, couldn't sit still. She pouted, tugged at her mother's sleeve, and said coquettishly, "Mother..."

Hearing her youngest daughter's coquettish voice, Madam Lin finally had a reason to loosen her grip on Qingyin's dirty (?) sleeve and flee from Qingyin's tearful emotions.

She gently patted her youngest daughter beside her and said softly, "What's wrong, Yu'er?"

Lin Wanyu looked at Madam Lin jealously, buried her face in her arms and said, "Mother, now that you have my sister, you don't care about me anymore."

"Look at you, you little rascal, even jealous of your own sister!" Madam Lin poked her smooth forehead in annoyance.

His gaze then fell on Qingyin, and he smiled, "Child, don't think too much. This little girl is the child I had two years after you were lost. She's very spoiled and has a childish temper."

Qingyin lowered her eyes and smiled, "My little sister is so innocent and cute, I like her very much, why would I be angry?"

The harmonious atmosphere among the group made Lin's father nod in satisfaction.

Looking at Qingyin, he said, "Alright, now that the child is back, there will be plenty of time for you two to chat later."

“However, now that you’re back, child, you shall change your name to Lin Qingqing,” Lin’s father said without a doubt.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Lin's father and mother never inquired about Qingyin's name, which had been lost to the common people.
