Chapter 1 My mother is actually the real daughter of the Marquis’ Mansion!
Marquis's Mansion, main hall.
Marquis Yong'an and his wife sat at the top, while Lin Siqiong and her daughter Lin Ruoli sat at the lower left.
Lin Ruoli was only five years old, but she was well-mannered, calm and steady. She sat on the chair with her back straight, and her face looked noble and indifferent.
She frowned slightly, looking slightly displeased, "Who can understand the meaning of Qin Gong's pill? It's easy to remember time, but it's hard to keep time."
The five-year-old girl recited the poem in a rhythmic and methodical manner. Although she was steady, she lacked the innocence and liveliness of a child.
Upon hearing this, Lin Siqiong glanced at Lin Ruoli with a reproachful look, "Li'er! Don't say too much. We are all family. It doesn't matter if you wait a little longer."
As she spoke, Lin Siqiong smiled and looked at the Marquis of Yong'an and his wife, "Father, Mother, don't be angry. My sister must have been delayed by something, so—"
"Hmph!" Marquis Yong'an snorted coldly, "What could a common woman possibly do? She's been wandering around since she was little, and she has no proper upbringing!"
The Marquis's eyes turned red, tears welling up in them. "It's all my fault. If I had found her sooner, she wouldn't have become like this!"
Marquis Yong'an was stunned. He couldn't blame him any more and could only turn his head away with a cold face.
Lin Siqiong watched this scene, her fingernails digging into her palms as she hid her hands in her sleeves.
As expected, I still prefer my biological children!
You've already started defending someone before you've even met them!
Just then, footsteps were heard outside the hall, and soon a handsome young man walked in.
As soon as he came in, he said loudly, "Father, Mother, Sister, I brought the person back."
As he finished speaking, a mother and daughter walked into the hall hand in hand.
Madam Hou immediately stood up, walked over quickly with red eyes, and grabbed Yu Tingwan's arm, "Daughter! My daughter! You are finally back! I finally found you!"
His voice was choked with sobs and tears were falling down.
Yu Tingwan's skin was very fair, and the slight redness in her eyes was very obvious. She was also in tears at this moment, "Mother... Are you my mother..."
Lin Siqiong came over with a smile at this time, "Look at what you are saying, sister, this is of course mother! Sister, don't you even recognize your own mother?"
When the Marquis’ wife heard this, her crying stopped.
Yu Youning raised her head at this time, her delicate and white little face was chubby, just like a freshly cooked sesame dumpling, so white and tender that people wanted to reach out and poke it.
Yu Youning blinked her big eyes, which were like black grapes, and they sparkled like stars. "This auntie is talking so strangely. My mother has never seen my grandmother, so how could she possibly know her?"
The Marquis's wife finally understood and nodded repeatedly, "That's right! It's normal for us mother and daughter to be unsure about our first meeting! It's all because of that vicious woman. She dared to secretly switch her child with mine, which is why we've been separated for so many years!"
"Mother!" Lin Siqiong's face turned pale instantly, her eyes were red, and her body was trembling slightly. "It's all my fault. I took my sister's place..."
Lin Yu hurried forward and looked at Madam Hou with dissatisfaction, "Mother, what does this have to do with my sister? She was just a newborn baby at that time!"
Madam Hou immediately let go of Yu Tingwan's hand and embraced Lin Siqiong in her arms. "Yu'er is right. This has nothing to do with you. You are innocent. Let's not talk about the past. Let's just live a good life as a family from now on!"
Lin Siqiong burst into tears, her face filled with guilt and sadness. "It's all my fault. I wish I had never been born... I can't face my sister. If she won't forgive me, I might as well die..."
"You kid! What are you talking about!" The Marquis's wife was even more distressed. "I already told you that it has nothing to do with you. Why are you talking about life and death? How could your sister blame you? Listen, it's late. Why don't you tell your sister that you don't blame her?"
Yu Tingwan's hands dropped down, and her heart sank to the bottom.
Is this the biological mother she has been thinking about all these years?
When they just met, instead of asking her how she had been doing over the years, whether she had suffered any hardships or pain, he asked her to forgive this fake daughter who had taken her place!
When Yu Tingwan thought of this, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Yu Youning felt so distressed when she saw her mother like this, she quickly stretched out her little hand and held her mother's hand tightly.
She wants to protect her mother!
I don’t want these people I just met to bully me!
"Grandma, my mother has been living away from home for over twenty years, and this aunt has been the eldest daughter in the Marquis's mansion for over twenty years. Why is she crying?
Is it because she felt sad that my mother couldn't return to her biological mother after she found her biological mother? "
The two people who had just hugged each other and cried bitterly stopped crying in an instant and looked at Yu Youning at the same time.
Yu Youning blinked her eyes, her round eyes sparkling with light, and she continued in a baby voice, "Youning feels like crying when she thinks about being separated from her mother! Grandma loves Auntie so much, why not let Auntie go back to find her biological mother!"
Lin Siqiong was panicked and could not care about anything else. She quickly looked at Madam Hou, "Mother, I——"
I wanted to explain, but I was stuck.
How to say it?
Saying she doesn't want to return to her biological mother? Doesn't that mean she's only interested in clinging to the powerful?
She wanted to return to her biological mother? Wouldn't that mean she had to leave Yong'an Marquis Mansion?
Just as I was hesitating, Lin Ruoli's voice came from behind.
"Grandma, my aunt and her daughter just returned, and you're going to chase us away? Although my mother wasn't my grandma's biological daughter, she's been by your side for so many years, fulfilling her filial duties without slacking off! Is blood ties the only thing that can prove kinship in this world?"
Yu Youning looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little girl of the same age as her walking towards her step by step.
She had a dignified demeanor, and every step seemed to be measured with a ruler.
Her small head was styled in an exquisite bun, adorned with a gilded phoenix hairpin. A string of golden tassels hung from the mouth of the phoenix, which did not sway significantly as she walked.
It is beautiful, but a little deliberate.
The Marquis's wife looked at Lin Ruoli and finally came to her senses. She wiped the tears from her face and said with a smile, "Li'er is right. Siqiong grew up under my lap, and I treat her as my own daughter. The Marquis' Mansion is her home, so there's no need for her to return to someone else. From now on, we as a family should just live happily and harmoniously!"
Lin Ruoli looked at Yu Youning, her eyes cold and her voice emotionless, her posture even more arrogant. "Grandma, is there any way to verify her identity? Li'er doesn't have any other intentions, she's just afraid that she might have found the wrong person and make you feel disappointed."
The Marquis's wife smiled dotingly, "Li'er is young, but she's very thoughtful! There is indeed a way to verify her identity!"
