Qiao Ci glanced at the little koi in Qiao Nian's arms, which had a pair of cute big eyes.

He slapped Jing Daizong hard on the back.

"What nonsense are you talking about in front of the children!"

It took Jing Daizong a long time to realize that this child was a little koi.

He muttered, "He doesn't understand again."

Qiao Ci glared at Jing Daizong, and Jing Daizong silently shut his mouth.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely awkward.

Qiao Shu also felt extremely embarrassed.

Of course, at this time, Qiao Shu had no idea that the most embarrassing moment in his life had not yet arrived.

Under the leadership of Ye Linlang, Xia Zhi came to the Ye family.

After the Qiao family knew that Xia Zhi might be the biological mother of the sisters Qiao Yu and Qiao Xiang, no one in the Qiao family knew how to face Jing Zhi.

"Sister Xia Zhi, please tell my uncle and grandparents exactly what happened that year."

After Ye Linlang poured a cup of tea for Xia Zhi, she sat down obediently on the chair.

It's not that she gossips.

But she also wanted to know what purpose Xia Jing had in hiding the truth for all these years.

She wanted to know more about what Xia Zhi had experienced over the years.

"Xia Jing and I are twins. The only difference is that Xia Jing was healthier than me when she was born. They were worried that they couldn't support me, so they planned to throw me at the end of the bed to fend for myself."

"My grandparents said that I was still a life after all, so they persuaded them to take good care of me. When I was about one year old, Xia Jing was always sick. A well-known fortune-teller said that it was because I was Xia Jing's enemy that Xia Jing was always sick. So, they sent me back to my hometown and let me grow up with my grandparents."

"At the beginning, they would come to see me whenever they had time, during holidays, but later they just forgot about me."

"Not long after my grandfather passed away, my grandmother also passed away, so I had no choice but to return to the Xia family. When I returned to the Xia family, Qiao Shu and Xia Jing were already engaged, and even the wedding date was set."

"Perhaps because they were afraid I might cause trouble, they found me a job as a garment worker. Aside from Xia Jing's wedding day, I never returned to the Xia family. One day, they sent someone to tell me to go home."

"That night, Xia Jing's father kept getting Qiao Shu drunk, while Xia Jing and her daughter accompanied me in the inner room to drink. I got drunk, and when I woke up, I found myself sleeping with Qiao Shu."

"I woke up before Qiao Shu woke up. Xia Jing and the other two accused me of climbing into my brother-in-law's bed. From that day on, I lost my job. After Xia Jing returned to the Qiao family, her parents treated me so well for the first time in my life. I thought they had a change of heart after Xia Jing got married. Not long after... I became pregnant."

"They sent me back to the countryside and told everyone that my grandparents had come to me in a dream and said they missed me! I gave birth to Qiao Xiang and Qiao Yu in the countryside. It wasn't until Xia Jing took the children away right after they were born that I learned that Xia Jing had also announced her pregnancy while I was pregnant."

"They said that if I was obedient, they would let me see Qiao Xiang and Qiao Yu in the future. If I didn't obey, they would marry me to the old bachelor in the village."

"I compromised." Xia Zhi's eyes were filled with tears. "I thought my compromise would earn them a little sympathy as parents, but it didn't. In their hearts, I was just a dispensable tool."
