Chapter 5: Exposing the Fake Daughter's Background

Xue Youli met Xue Qingyao's determined eyes and admired her from the bottom of her heart.

This woman was really smart. She guessed her true identity just by standing outside the door and eavesdropping on their conversation for a while.

If they weren't destined to be rivals, I would have wanted to make friends with her.

Isn't it just acting?

Who wouldn’t?

Xue Youli raised her round almond-shaped eyes, her eyes were stubborn and pretending to be strong, "Dad, Mom, do you also think your daughter is a ghost?"

"Of course not..."

Jiang Ruyun was about to shake her head when Xue Wuyou found a small can of salt from somewhere in the backyard.

He held the pottery jar in one hand and sprinkled salt on Xue Youli with the other, muttering, "I don't care who you are, get off my sister as soon as possible! God bless you, and the earth bless you, and the Jade Emperor will show up!"

After spreading the salt, he turned around and said happily, "Dad and Mom, look, my sister didn't show her true form, which means Xue Qingyao is talking nonsense! Don't be fooled by her!"

Xue Huaiyuan, "..."

Jiang Ruyun: "..."

Xue Youli, who was covered in salt, said, "..." Listen to me, thank you, because of you...

"Your father and I are not fools. How could we listen to outsiders' instigation? You were the one who acted rashly and soiled your sister's new clothes." Jiang Ruyun glared at his son in reproach, then brushed the salt off Xue Youli's body. "Li'er, your third brother is just teasing you. Don't be angry with him."

Xue Huaiyuan also scolded Xue Wuyou with a stern face, "If you scare your sister to tears, be careful or I will punish you according to my family rules!"

Xue Youli's parents divorced in her previous life, and she had never felt such a warm family atmosphere.

She looked at the three people in front of her, her nose felt sore and her eyes turned red.

Since her family chose to believe in her unconditionally, from today on, she is Xue Youli Benli.

However, in order to prevent someone from making a fuss about this matter in the future, she decided to shut Xue Qingyao up with solid evidence in front of everyone.

"Dad, the private money you hid under our osmanthus tree eight years ago was not dug up by a wild dog. It was found by my third brother and I, who secretly used it to buy candied haws."

"Mom, the box of rouge that your second brother gave you for your birthday five years ago was not taken away by a wild cat. I accidentally broke it, and I lied to you because I was afraid of being punished."

"Third brother, I was the one who reported you for spilling ink on Second brother's poetry book two years ago. As a result, Second brother beat you up. I'm really sorry."

Xue Youli saw these things from the original owner's memory, and they are little secrets that only the people involved know.

Xue Wuyou didn't mind being beaten at all, and excitedly shook his father's arm vigorously, "Dad, Mom, you see, right? This is my sister. Even if the emperor comes, she is still my sister! She is not some wandering ghost!"

Xue Huaiyuan raised his hand and patted his forehead, his face full of disgust, "Hurry up and let go, look for yourself, your sister has a shadow, how could she be a wandering ghost?"

"There really is a shadow! Hehehehe!"

Xue Youli looked at Xue Qingyao's ugly face, frowned, and pointed the finger at her, "Dad, Mom, to be honest, I have to thank Sister Qingyao. If she hadn't advised me to pretend to hang myself to avoid entering the palace, I would probably still be the fool who hanged myself with a rope after being fooled. Now that I have been to the gates of hell, I have grown smarter. How can this not be considered a blessing in disguise?"

"Okay! So it was you who deliberately did something bad and wanted to kill my sister!"

Xue Wuyou heard that it was Xue Qingyao who wanted to kill his precious sister. "Dad, Mom, Xue Qingyao is too vicious. I think we should just make a rope to hang her, so that she can also have a taste of being hanged!"

Hearing this, Yan Niang was afraid that they would hurt her precious daughter, and she yelled at Xue Huaiyuan like crazy, "Master, I am sorry for you! Everyone has their own responsibility for their own actions. I beg you to let Yao'er go! She is innocent, if you want to beat or kill her, come at me!"

Xue Qingyao looked at his beautiful wife who only remembered to protect him when she was about to die, and a sarcastic sneer twitched her red lips.

ridiculous!

During these fifteen years, Yan Niang was extremely strict with her. She taught her how to read and write, how to dance and play the piano, and how to seduce men, hoping that she would be able to hook up with a rich man in the future so that she could take advantage of the situation and live a good life with her.

Now that you are about to die, you remember to be a good mother?

How could the slutty woman know that her daughter hated and despised her.

Xue Qingyao swore since she was a child that one day she would completely get rid of her erotic mother and crawl out of the dirty quagmire.

In her previous life, she entered the palace in Xue Youli's place and volunteered to be that man's pawn. With the skills taught by her Yan Niang, she won the favor of the Queen Mother, gained the trust of the Emperor, and gradually ascended to the highest position in the harem.

Now that her God has given her a new life, why does the variable Xue Youli appear?

Xue Youming already has everything, why did he want to snatch away her chance to enter the palace?

Xue Qingyao looked at Xue Youli, who was glamorous and loved by everyone, and the jealousy in her heart almost burst her chest.

Since she was a child, she has been jealous of Xue Youli. She was jealous that she was pampered by her parents, that she was loved by her three brothers, and that she had the status of a legitimate daughter and could live as she pleased.

But what about yourself?

Because of her disgraceful mother, Yanniang, everyone looked down on her and neglected her. Even the servants never treated her well!

As a human being, why is her life better than hers?

She was not convinced and was not willing to give in!

How could she die here?

She hasn't left the Xue Mansion yet!

Xue Huaiyuan looked at Xue Qingyao, whose face had turned pale. He pondered for a moment and made a decision. "The woman is guilty of a capital crime. Xue Qingyao will spare her life because she is innocent. Tie her up in the woodshed and find a human trafficker to sell her tomorrow."

After being sold, they can only be slaves for the rest of their lives and will never be able to turn their lives around.

The blood color on Xue Qingyao's face faded completely in an instant.

When she was tied up by the servants and passed by Xue Youli, she stared at Xue Youli with red eyes, wishing she could stare two bloody holes in her body!

The two Yan Niangs were beaten to death on the spot.

The farce ended late at night.

Xue Huaiyuan took Jiang Ruyun back to her room, and after calming her down, he knocked on Xue Youli's door.

"Li'er, if you're not asleep, come and have a drink with Daddy."

Xue Youli knew why he came. She glanced at the wine bottle in his hand and nodded obediently, "Okay."

So, the father and daughter drank together in the pavilion in the garden.

Xue Huaiyuan drank wine and Xue Youli drank water.

After a few drinks, Xue Huaiyuan got straight to the point and asked, "Li'er, how did you know that Yan Niang was kept by a tea merchant sixteen years ago?"

Xue Youli had already thought of an excuse, "Dad, I went to a restaurant for dinner a few days ago and inadvertently heard people talking about Yan Niang's romantic affair more than ten years ago. After hearing it, I became cautious and secretly asked someone to investigate Yan Niang. I didn't expect Yan Niang to be so bold. Originally, I was in a dilemma and didn't know how to tell Dad about this. Tonight, we caught Yan Niang having a tryst with Zhang San and Li Si, which is not a bad thing. At least we have seen Yan Niang's true face."

Xue Huaiyuan raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, then he exhaled a long breath, "Li'er is right. After this incident, the knot between your mother and I has finally been untied."

That night, Xue Huaiyuan talked a lot with Xue Youli. After the conversation, he couldn't help but sigh, "My Li'er has really grown up."

Xue Youli met his loving gaze and was deeply moved. "Dad and Mom protected us too well before. We are almost 15 years old, and it's time for us to grow up."

"It's getting late, you should go back to bed."

"Okay, Daddy should rest early too."

It was late at night, Xue Youli was lying on the bed, his right eyelid twitching, and he always felt uneasy that he had spared Xue Qingyao's life.

Maybe when the trafficker comes tomorrow, she can secretly arrange for the trafficker to sell Xue Qingyao to a remote place.

The journey is long and it is easy for something to go wrong along the way.
