Chapter 37 True and False Daughter 2
[The family whose place they borrowed gave birth to a girl two days ago, Xu Zhen.
In order to borrow a place, the wife of the Earl of Yongxing gave Xu Zhen's parents a large sum of money. Seeing that they had to pay so much money just to borrow a place, they became greedy.
When he saw that she also gave birth to a daughter, he suddenly had evil thoughts and swapped Xu Qing and Xu Zhen.
After the swap, the couple felt uneasy, fearing that their problem would be discovered.
However, the wife of the Earl of Yongxing fainted after giving birth to Xu Qing, and she never even got to see what her child looked like carefully.
The people who followed her had never given birth, so when they saw the child had changed in appearance, they didn't take it seriously.
I just thought that the child changed too quickly. I had only heard that newborn babies change every day, but he changed completely in just half a day.
So they took the replaced Xu Zhen back to the Yongxing Marquis' Mansion. As for the real eldest daughter of the Yongxing Marquis' Mansion, Xu Qing, she was left to the couple. 】
Xu Qing was confused when she listened to the process of her replacement. Such a detailed process did not seem fake, and the person would not tell such a lie if he could be in Shen Shixu's body.
[The most abominable thing is that the couple swapped other people's children and wanted to kill Xu Qing to eradicate the root of the problem. They were afraid that they would be discovered later.
He thought that as long as Xu Qing was gone, the fact of the baby swap would never be exposed. The survival rate of the children was very low anyway, and even if they died, people around them would not suspect anything.
Just when they were about to take action, Xu Qing's grandmother arrived. Because she lived far away, she didn't learn the news until a few days after the child was born and then she came to visit her granddaughter with her belongings.
When I saw the couple throwing the child outside, I was so angry that my body was shaking.
The old man thought that the couple was favoring boys over girls and didn't want a daughter, so he scolded them and took Xu Qing back to his home and took care of her himself.
This saved Xu Qing from dying at the hands of that cruel couple. 】
When Xu Qing heard 011 mention her deceased grandmother, she thought of the old lady who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. The happiest years of her life were spent with her grandmother.
Her grandmother lived alone and her life was difficult, so the two of them, the grandma and the granddaughter, had a hard time, but no matter how hard it was, her grandmother would always give her the best things.
Other girls have it, although she will stay up for a few days, but she still has it.
When she was seven years old, her grandmother passed away and she was taken back home by the couple, where she became their servant.
She did the washing, cooking, and farm work, but she still couldn't get enough to eat. The little fat that my grandmother had managed to gain turned into skin and bones.
This kind of life lasted for eight years, until she accidentally saved Yan Weixuan and was brought to the city by him, where she accidentally ran into her aunt.
Xu Qing's identity was then discovered.
[This grandma should be gone, right? 】
[Hey, brother, how did you know? 】
An Chengyu and Jiang Bin went to see Shen Shixu curiously. 011 didn't mention this matter, and Xu Qing didn't reveal her own life experience. In this case, how did their master know?
[It’s very simple. I can tell from the look in Xu Qing’s eyes.] If a person still has a way out, his eyes will not be as depressed as Xu Qing's, and there will at least be a glimmer of hope.
When Xu Qing knelt down and begged me to make the decision for him, his eyes were filled with hatred for the Yongxing Marquis' Mansion and disgust towards Yan Weixuan and Xu Zhen. 】
When Jiang Bin heard that Shen Shixu could see so many things with just one look, he was full of admiration.
An Chengyu was still young, and he could not understand many of the meanings clearly, but seeing the admiring expression on his junior fellow apprentice's face, he knew that his master was very powerful, and he stared at Shen Shixu in admiration.
[Brother, how come you are so awesome? You can see so many things with just a few glances. Your eyes and brain are so powerful! It feels more like a system than I do! 】
Shen Shixu was amused by his compliment, [It's not as exaggerated as you say, I just studied it specially in my previous life. I saw people on TV acting so realistically and found it very interesting so I started to learn from them. I cried and laughed in front of the mirror every day, and the director of our orphanage was so scared that she thought I was crazy and almost sent me to a mental hospital. 】
Jiang Bin and An Chengyu opened their mouths wide. They didn’t expect that their master still remembered things from his past life. No wonder he was so powerful!
[I see. Then I will continue.]
After the kind old man passed away, Xu Qing was taken in by the cruel couple and became their maid for free.
She is responsible for small tasks like washing clothes and cooking, and also for heavy work like working in the fields. She does the most work at home, but eats the least.
Eight years passed like this, until she accidentally helped Yan Weixuan and was brought to the capital by him, where she happened to meet the sister of Earl Yongxing.
Xu Qing looked very similar to the late lady of the Yongxing Earl. After seeing Xu Qing's appearance, the lady began to investigate secretly.
After knowing that the family where his sister-in-law gave birth to her child was where Xu Qing lives now, he realized that Xu Zhen was a fake.
She found Xu Qing and rescued her from that family. If the lady had arrived a little later, Xu Qing would have been sold to a brothel by those unscrupulous parents.
It can be said that the lady saved Xu Qing from danger and even told her about her life story.
After Xu Qing found out that she was not the couple's biological daughter, she also had some expectations of her biological parents.
Unfortunately, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
After learning the truth about the child swap, the Yongxing Marquis' Mansion neither sent Xu Zhen away nor did they do anything to punish the family.
They originally wanted to teach that family a lesson. But after Xu Zhen's crying and pleading, they let the matter go. They just sent people to beat up the family and the matter was left unresolved.
This was also the beginning of Xu Qing's disappointment with the Yongxing Marquis' Mansion. 】
When Xu Qing thought about what happened that day, a sad expression appeared on her face.
Jiang Bin and An Chengyu both looked at her with sympathy. An Chengyu felt that this young lady was truly pitiful; her biological parents had treated her so badly.
None of them helped her to deal with the people who bullied her. They sympathetically handed Xu Qing a piece of dessert and whispered, "Sister, don't feel sad for those people. Let's eat dessert and forget about those bad guys."
Xu Qing took the snack he handed over, feeling both sour and sweet in her heart.
An outsider would comfort herself when he knew that she was wronged, but her so-called blood relatives turned a blind eye to her grievances, or they never took her to heart, so they turned a blind eye to her grievances.
[The Yongxing Marquis' Mansion didn't want to send Xu Zhen back. They probably thought that even though they were not related by blood, they had kept her by their side and loved her for many years, and they were reluctant to send her back. Also...]
