As a mother for many years, Xu's mother has raised several children, but she has never experienced such disobedience from one of her children.

Xu Jinyi's shouting outside was simply outrageous and so disobedient that Xu's mother was so angry that her body was shaking.

He had to comfort his crying daughter first.

"Wanwan, be good. Don't worry about what that silly girl outside says. It's not her turn to make the decision in our Shangshu Mansion yet. Just rest assured, Master."

"With such a temper, how can you be a good lady? As soon as you come back, you are so disrespectful to your elders. Before you even acknowledge your relatives, you accuse your parents of their faults. I dare not acknowledge such a daughter."

"Don't worry, I'll go check on that damn girl right now. If she dares to say anything, I'll beat her to death."

Xu Jingwan shook her head: "Mom, please let me go. Your biological daughter is back, and I should return her place to her."

"After all, I've occupied her identity for so many years. It's only natural for her to be angry and annoyed with me. Mother, please don't blame her."

Seeing that Xu Jingwan was so well-behaved and sensible, Xu's mother became more and more displeased with Xu Jinyi outside.

"What do you mean by return? You are my daughter, the daughter I have raised for more than ten years."

"I'll go out and clear your name right now. Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Having said that, Xu's mother stood up, with a stern look on her face, and was about to go out to teach Xu Jinyi a lesson.

Xu Jingwan stood up, took Xu's mother's arm, and wiped away her tears: "Mom, I'll go too. Although the mistakes made over the years were not caused by me, I did take over her identity as a younger sister. I should go and apologize to her."

The door opens.

Xu's mother came out with a gloomy face. When she saw Xu Jinyi's profile, she scolded him harshly: "Why are you making a fuss right after coming back? Don't you know how shameful it is? Go inside and talk about what you have to say inside!"

But when Xu Jinyi turned around, her superior appearance stunned her mother so much that she couldn't recover.

The four words "peerless beauty" are not enough to describe the daughter in front of him.

Xu's mother couldn't help but wonder, is this really the daughter she raised in the countryside?

Such a beautiful girl, even a noble family in Beijing would find it difficult to cultivate one, right?

She had always thought that her daughter Wanwan was stunningly beautiful, but now that she saw Xu Jinyi, she finally understood what the saying "there is always someone better than you" meant.

Even if she was partial to Xu Jingwan, she couldn't say with a clear conscience that they were both equally beautiful.

In other words, Xu Jingwan's beauty is not even half as good as the girl in front of her. Her beauty is changeable and unique. It can be pure to the bone, or charming and attractive.

Xu's mother had never even thought that someone could combine these two different kinds of beauty into one, as if her charm was natural and there was no flaw to be found.

Her anger was instantly half extinguished, and Xu's mother couldn't help but feel a little satisfied with Xu Jinyi.

After all, she is his own child, and she is not bad looking. After training her for a period of time and winning her over, wouldn't their Shangshu Mansion then have two legitimate daughters who can bring honor to the family?

Xu Jingwan panicked when she saw Xu Jinyi's face. A huge sense of panic surged in her heart, and she always felt that something had slipped away from her hands.

She even felt that she had made a wrong move. If she had known she would look like this, she should not have let her come back.

She should have died on the road.

Looking uneasily at her mother's expression which had obviously softened, Xu Jingwan felt a chill all over her body.

She misjudged Xu Jinyi's appearance, thinking that she was just a skinny, dark country bumpkin with a timid personality, and that even if she came back, she would not threaten her position.

Xu Jingwan held Xu's mother's arm tightly, fearing that the family affection she wanted to hold on to would be snatched away by Xu Jinyi.

If this were to happen, she would have nothing, and all her efforts over the years would be in vain.

He lowered his eyes, a hint of hatred flashing across them.

Now she hated her biological parents. Since they had switched her, why didn't they clear the way ahead for her? Why didn't they kill Xu Jinyi?

She was able to come back alive and safe.

"Mrs. Xu is truly an eye-opener for this princess. It seems Young Master Xu has inherited your legacy. His first words to his newly found daughter weren't a caring greeting or a joyful embrace, but a sullen rebuke."

"Tsk, the tutors at the Shangshu Mansion are indeed unique."

Mrs. Xu's face turned pale and blue. Only then did she realize that Princess Xinyue was there. This was a little evil spirit. If she wasn't careful, the King of Hell would come to her door tomorrow.

With the Regent, the King of Hell, around, even the young emperor would not dare to disrespect Princess Xinyue.

"This humble servant greets Princess Xinyue. It was just a misunderstanding. This humble servant will take Xiaoyi home right away."

Xinyue wasn't so easily fooled. She sneered, "They're mother and son, and they both use the same excuse. They think all of us are fools."

Xu Jinyi's eyes lit up, and he gave Princess Xinyue a big thumbs up in his heart.

It was a great assist and he said what she wanted to say.

Xu Jingwan walked forward with red eyes: "Sister, I'm sorry, I haven't been -"

"Sister, it is said that my biological mother only gave birth to me as a daughter, so where does my sister come from?"

"How come you've been taking advantage of me for over a decade and now you're trying to take advantage of me?"

It was the first time that the noble ladies saw Xu Jingwan's aggrieved look, and they all laughed playfully with a "puff".

"Isn't pretending to be weak Xu Jingwan's usual trick? They say the crying child gets the milk. It seems I've met my match this time. Xu Jinyi is really good. She's a true character. I like her."

"Yes, in a situation like this, how many people would dare to speak their mind? I'm afraid most would choose to endure it, or even flatter Xu Jingwan."

"But judging from Madam Xu's expression, she has no intention of driving Jingwan away. She just came out with her arm around her."

"Xu Jinyi is truly pitiful. Not only was she not welcomed home, but she was also stabbed in the heart by the faker and her family. I'm afraid she's going to suffer once the door is closed."

The noble ladies felt the same way. After all, Xu Jinyi's actions just now brought shame to the Shangshu Mansion.

If it were their parents, they would be punished as well.

A trace of distortion flashed across Xu Jingwan's face. She didn't understand Xu Jinyi's trick at all and why he didn't play by the rules.

When she saw how close her biological mother was to her, shouldn't she be sad? When she saw how her family members treated her, shouldn't she try to please her?

Why is it so difficult?

His face turned pale: "Xiaoyi, I——"

"What? You want to cry?"

Xu Jingwan was about to cry, but Xu Jinyi's words made tears hang on her eyelashes. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should cry or not.

Xu Jinyi curled his lips: "Or do you want to be knocked unconscious?"

Xu Jingwan's face froze for a moment, and the hand that was raised in the air to touch her forehead stopped, and she forced a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Hahaha, Xu Jingwan looks so funny. I'm afraid she didn't expect her thoughts to be exposed."

Xu Jingwan just felt her face burning, she was embarrassed.
