Chapter 299: Xiao Ying is not willing to go back despite his prominent family background
"boom!"
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
At that moment, fireworks were exploding in everyone's minds, and Ning Yuanze's words were like a thunderclap, shocking them so much that they were stunned in place.
The lady is actually the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenyuan? Or the legitimate daughter of the Marquis?
Marquis Zhenyuan is known to everyone in Yue Kingdom. Even children of a few years old know that he is like the god of war of Yue Kingdom.
With the presence of Marquis Zhenyuan, the Kingdom of Yue can be kept safe. Such a person is admired and respected by the world!
And their wife is actually the daughter of Marquis Zhenyuan?
Doesn't that mean that she is not some village woman at all, but an extremely noble lady from the capital?
Especially someone like Yulan, who was carefully nurtured by the royal family, is more aware of the value of being the legitimate daughter of Marquis Zhenyuan.
Marquis Zhenyuan is a first-rank marquis and has an army of 200,000 under his command. The daughter of Marquis Zhenyuan can do whatever she wants in Shangjing as long as she doesn't provoke the royal princess.
Because Marquis Zhenyuan is related to the Prime Minister of the current dynasty by marriage, and the wife of Marquis Zhenyuan is Prime Minister Ning's biological sister.
Prime Minister Ning's father is the hereditary Duke of the State, which can be said to be a glorious family.
The lady should be of such a noble status, why is she living among the common people?
In a corner not far away, Yu Qianli also showed a look of surprise. He didn't expect that Xiao Ying had such an identity.
He recognized Ning Leshu. She was indeed the wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan in his memory. Moreover, the Ning brothers were also present, so there was no need to lie.
Frowning, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
It would be fine if Xiao Yingruo was just a lady, but she was also a cultivator with extremely powerful strength.
If they join forces with the Zhenyuan Marquisate and even the Ning family, they will probably soon become the sixth largest immortal cultivation family in the Yue Kingdom.
Perhaps, he needs to re-evaluate Xiao Ying's value and the attitude of the Yu family.
Among all the people, Xiao Ying was probably the only one who could remain calm, because she had already guessed it.
But she guessed it was the Ning family, not the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion that suddenly appeared.
When she met Ning Leshu's doting and expectant gaze, a warm feeling flowed through her heart and her face became gentle.
"Please come in first, three of you."
Ning Yuanchen and Ning Yuanze looked relieved. Their cousin was willing to invite them in instead of rejecting them on the spot. This was a good start.
Ning Leshu also nodded quickly. Although her daughter still looked like a stranger to her, she knew that she couldn't act too hastily.
The three of them walked into the courtyard, while the yamen runners were waiting outside the door.
Xiao Ying invited everyone into the main room to sit down, and told Yulan and others to serve tea and snacks before speaking again.
"Madam Ning..."
But I was interrupted just as I started.
Ning Leshu gently corrected: "Yingying, I am your mother..."
Xiao Ying: "...Sorry, this is a bit sudden for me."
The sudden appearance of a mother was really hard for her to adapt to, and she was not the original owner of this body.
"Madam Ning, could you please tell me what happened? Since I'm your daughter, why am I stranded here? And how did you find me?"
She had some guesses about the answer to the last question, and it was probably because of Ning Yuanchen.
But it is still strange that a noble lady from a noble family would end up in the countryside.
Seeing that she refused to call him mother, Ning Leshu felt a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to correct her.
It's good that my daughter is willing to ask the reason. If she had been living away from home for decades, she would definitely be resentful.
So she recounted what had happened in detail, and was filled with resentment when she talked about how Xiao Qing's family had to substitute two children for someone else's.
However, his tone softened when he mentioned Han Ye. Although he had some complaints, he was more protective of him.
"If your cousin Yuanchen hadn't recognized you and secretly sent someone to investigate, I'm afraid I would have been deceived in my life and would never have the chance to see you again."
At the end of his speech, Ning Leshu shed tears sadly and quickly wiped them away with his handkerchief.
"Cousin, I hope you won't blame me for being nosy."
Ning Yuanchen was unusually serious and didn't wave his folding fan.
"It's really because my cousin and my aunt look so much alike, and Xinghai's child also looks a lot like my second cousin. I also happened to know that my aunt gave birth to a child in Yun'an County, so I sent someone to investigate."
"Xiao Qing and He Qiuju personally admitted that they swapped the children, so I told my family."
Xiao Ying nodded slightly. After hearing the whole story, he was quite surprised, but it made sense.
Given the greed of Xiao Qing's family, it is not surprising that they would do such a thing.
She is a victim, and her adoptive parents are also victims.
As for Han Ye, who was exchanged with her, he is the vested interest.
"So Madam Ning wants to take me back?"
She looked at Ning Leshu calmly, and it was obvious that her stepmother really cared about her.
Ning Leshu replied anxiously, "You are my child, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family. Of course, I must take you back."
"Mother lost you for so many years. I will definitely compensate you well and never let you suffer again."
Xiao Ying stared into her eyes, unmoved: "What about Zhenyuan Hou? Is he willing to let me go back?"
"And Han Ye, who exchanged identities with me, how will he cope if I go back?"
From Ning Leshu's narration just now, she knew that Han Ye had some abilities and was now a third-rank Weiyuan General. Would the Zhenyuan Marquisate really be willing to give up such a person in exchange for her, a woman from the mountain village?
The conflicts of interest within large families are the most terrifying. Han Ye probably doesn't want to be exposed and lose his identity as the son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, right?
She guessed that Zhenyuan Hou and Han Ye didn't know about this at all. They were both guarding the border, so the news shouldn't spread so quickly.
Ning Leshu felt a little guilty for a moment, but still said, "Don't worry about this matter. Your father must miss you too."
"As for Ye'er, we also have a way to deal with it. We will then claim that I gave birth to twins, but I fainted during delivery, which led to you being taken away, and now you've finally been found."
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent.
Xiao Ying lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup and took a sip with an indifferent expression, feeling a little amused.
As expected, I still can’t bear to part with Han Ye.
She could actually understand it. After all, it was not easy to cultivate a talent. With Han Ye's ability, he would definitely continue to be promoted in the future, which would definitely be a great help to the Han family.
By making up the lie about twins, he could not only recognize her and restore her identity, but also keep Han Ye, which was a two-pronged approach.
But even though I understand it, I still feel uncomfortable.
She didn't want anyone to control her in the first place, and now she is even less willing to do so.
She now has a wealthy family and a great fortune. What will happen to the sect if she leaves?
What's more, Shangjing is full of powerful people, and there is also the Yu family. Various forces are intertwined, and she has no chance to develop in a low-key manner. This is completely contrary to her plan.
Besides, she also hated dealing with those noble ladies, which was a complete waste of life.
He also didn't want to live under someone else's roof and have to rely on others for his feelings, so he spent all day thinking about how to deal with the open and secret attacks from the back house.
So she refused.
"Sorry, I have no plans to leave."
"However, blood ties cannot be severed, so I can recognize you as my mother."
