Chapter 152 Your Face is Fake
"Aunt Liu? Is that the Aunt Liu who died in the fire at Zhou Mansion a while ago?" Yin Miaoyin said as she couldn't help but look at the aunt she had just met.
"Yes, the mistress of the Zhou Mansion, Zhao Yinlian, has been targeting my mother privately because her daughter came to the Marquis' Mansion as a concubine. In order to protect my mother, I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."
The old lady and the others understood what Liu Mingyue said earlier, but...
"What does this have to do with the Marquis' Mansion..." Zhen was halfway through her words when she suddenly remembered that the young lady from the Zhou family who had married into the Marquis' Mansion as the Crown Prince's Consort was the daughter of Aunt Liu from the Zhou Mansion.
Could it be that Liu Ruyi has a daughter besides her son?
Soon, Liu Mingyue spoke up to resolve their doubts.
"There is another thing. I am actually a girl. I am dressed like a man to hide my identity. It is more convenient to do business as a man. I hope that Grandpa, Madam, and Miss will forgive me."
Liu Mingyue awkwardly bowed and apologized to the three people. She was indeed a little embarrassed about dressing up as a man.
Every time she said something, the women in the prime minister's residence were shocked, but all the shocks added up were not as shocking as the fact that she was a woman disguised as a man.
Yin Miaoyin stood up with her eyes wide open, looking Liu Mingyue up and down: "You, you are a woman? You are the princess of Dingbei Marquis's son?"
Mrs. Zhen coughed lightly, tugged at her daughter's sleeve, and signaled her to calm down.
This was so surprising that Yin Miaoyin shook her head and murmured, "No wonder I felt so familiar with the Princess of Dingbei when I saw her at the palace banquet that day. It turns out you two are the same person."
The fate in this world is truly amazing, Yin Miaoyin thought.
The old lady and Madam Zhen had never heard of Aunt Liu in the Zhou Mansion, but they knew that she was the Crown Princess of the Marquis of Dingbei.
They didn't expect that the Crown Prince's Consort, who they once thought was in a difficult situation, was actually their own blood relative.
"It's all my fault that I didn't find you earlier, otherwise you and your daughter wouldn't have suffered so much." The old lady looked at Liu Ruyi with fondness, and the bitterness in her heart needed no words.
Liu Mingyue was a girl, with no background to support her and no one to guide her. She had to disguise herself as a man and start from scratch. One can imagine how difficult it was for her.
"Mother, it's all over. Now that we are able to recognize each other, it shows that God is merciful."
Liu Ruyi called the old lady "mother" somewhat awkwardly. The old lady was originally sad about the hardships her daughter had endured over the years, but when she heard that she was willing to call her mother, her eyes became red. Her daughter was willing to recognize her.
"You are right. Why don't you and your daughter return to live in the Xiangfu? The Xiangfu is big. If you want to take a yard, just pick one. It will be lively for our family to live together."
The old lady looked at Liu Ruyi expectantly, waiting for her daughter to nod.
When she recognized her daughter at first sight, she decided to let her daughter come back to live with her. She was worried that her daughter had a husband and it would be inappropriate for him to live with his whole family.
But now that my daughter's husband is dead, she no longer has these concerns.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyi glanced at her daughter and saw that Liu Mingyue looked calm. Knowing that she had no objection, she nodded and agreed: "I will do as you wish."
Liu Ruyi and her daughter have depended on each other for these years and knows that her daughter has a somewhat aloof personality. If Liu Mingyue does not want to live together as a family, she can reject the old lady's proposal for the sake of her daughter.
Anyway, they are both in the capital so it is not difficult for them to meet each other. It’s just that they don’t live together, which is no big deal.
While the elders were talking, Yin Miaoyin quietly waved to Liu Mingyue, motioning her to come over.
Liu Mingyue had a good impression of her cousin, so she walked around the screen behind her and asked, "What's up?"
Yin Miaoyin poked her face gently and asked with wide eyes, "Is your face fake?"
Liu Mingyue just smiled and said nothing.
"Mother, where is father? I want to see him and my brother as well." Liu Ruyi looked around the hall but did not see her father and brother.
She had been away from home for so long that she could no longer remember what her father looked like, nor could she recognize her brother.
"It's all mother's fault for being so stupid. She forgot about your father in her happiness. Your father is reading documents in the study right now. Your brother has official business today and will not be back until he finishes the task. I will take you to see your father first."
The old lady stood up. Before she could get the cane, Liu Ruyi came over to support her. The old lady was stunned for a moment, then said with red eyes: "Let's go see your father now."
Liu Ruyi smiled and supported the old lady as she walked in front, while Zhen followed closely behind, supported by the nanny.
Among the group, only Liu Mingyue and Yin Miaoyin are of the same generation. Liu Mingyue is a man of few words, but Yin Miaoyin is a chatterbox.
The two were the same age, but when Liu Mingyue walked beside Yin Miaoyin, she was half a head taller than Yin Miaoyin. Yin Miaoyin walked beside her and looked up at her from time to time: "You are a woman dressed as a man, is there something in your shoes?"
There are also tall women of their age, but few noble ladies in the capital are so tall at this age. Liu Mingyue glanced at her and did not hide it: "Yes."
"Then your name is also fake. If your name is not Liu Suifeng, what is your real name?" Yin Miaoyin walked closer to Liu Mingyue. She was the only child in the mansion for all these years. Suddenly a cousin came. She was so happy.
"Liu Mingyue, Miss Yin, haven't you heard of the name of Marquis Dingbei's princess before?" Liu Mingyue joked.
Yin Miaoyin smiled awkwardly and rarely responded. She couldn't say that people privately addressed the Princess of Dingbei as the adopted daughter of the Zhou Mansion or the 'ugly Princess of Dingbei'.
The group arrived at Prime Minister Yin's study. His wife rarely came to disturb him at this time. The doorman passed on the message that the old lady had arrived. Prime Minister Yin thought his wife was unwell, so he put down the letter and hurriedly came out to greet her in person.
As soon as he opened the door of the study, Prime Minister Yin saw a woman with a familiar face supporting the old lady.
There is a blood relationship between relatives, and seeing the red eyes of the old lady and Zhen, Prime Minister Yin realized something almost instantly.
"My son, come and meet your father." The old lady smiled and pushed Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ruyi didn't expect that her father already had a head full of white hair. With tears in her eyes, she stepped forward and saluted: "Father."
The word "father" sounds light, but it weighs heavily on Prime Minister Yin's heart.
Prime Minister Yin stared in amazement at the woman in front of him who looked very similar to his wife when she was young, and he was extremely excited.
The group entered the study, and the old lady wiped her tears and told Prime Minister Yin how she recognized her relatives and Liu Ruyi's situation over the years.
