Suddenly, someone entered the courtroom; it was Old Madam Liu.
Grandma Liu was helped in by Li Xingwang and knelt down to kowtow.
"My lord, I can testify that what Liu Hong said is not true."
“Mother, we are your sons, and you still have two grandsons at home. Don’t you want them all?” Liu Hong asked with a gloomy face.
These words sounded true, but Old Mrs. Liu knew they were a threat.
At home, she loves her two grandsons the most. Her eldest son used to say that he wouldn't let the two grandsons acknowledge her in the future.
Grandma Liu has now come to realize that her two sons have been corrupted, and her grandson is no better.
“Mother, we are family, why are you taking the side of outsiders?” The second son of the Liu family also looked heartbroken.
Song Ning sneered: "Outsiders? Since we are outsiders, what are you suing us for?"
Zheng Gaoyi raised his voice and asked, "Grandma Liu, if you can also produce a letter severing ties, then today's matter can be resolved."
Old Mrs. Liu spoke with rare confidence: "Sir, I have not signed any letter severing ties."
“But… I have evidence to prove that Yue Niang is not a daughter of the Liu family.”
These words were like a thunderbolt, striking everyone present.
As expected, everyone except for Old Mrs. Liu was stunned in place.
Liu Yuelan spoke first: "Mother, what did you say?"
Grandma Liu took a small package from her bosom and handed it to Shi Tou. Then she looked at Liu Yuelan and said with reluctance, "Yue Niang, I originally wanted to keep this matter buried with me, but I must make things clear today. I can't let those people bully you anymore."
"You are not my biological daughter; I took you in."
"Sir, the things in the package are what Yue Niang was carrying when I found her. When I found her, she didn't remember anything. She was about ten years old. I felt sorry for the child, so I brought her back and said she was my daughter whom I had raised outside."
Those things were clearly not something a poor family could have. There was also a plaque with the words "Moon Maiden" engraved on it, which is why Liu Yuelan got the nickname "Moon Maiden".
"Only the woman and the head of the Liu family know about this matter."
Zheng Gaoyi opened the package, inside which was a plaque and a jade bracelet.
The pendant was made of sandalwood, and the bracelet was translucent, clearly made of high-quality jade. Such things should not be in the hands of a common woman.
The Liu family is still in shock. They came full of confidence, but now they are suddenly told that Liu Yuelan is not their biological daughter.
If Liu Yuelan is not a biological daughter of the Liu family, then these lawsuits today are a joke.
The appearance of Old Mrs. Liu made the previously difficult decision clear at a glance.
This farce ended with Li Guixiang and Chen being imprisoned, and the Liu family receiving ten strokes of the cane.
When Song Ning's family returned home, everyone was silent. Li Xingwang walked beside Song Ning and whispered, "Er Ya, are you alright?"
Song Ning asked in confusion, "What could possibly be wrong with me?"
She wouldn't be so dejected as to be discouraged by something like this.
Even if her mother wasn't the biological daughter of the Liu family, or even if Song Er Ya wasn't the biological daughter of the Song family, she wouldn't feel sad.
What's so unacceptable about that?
In her previous life, she wasn't even her grandfather's biological daughter.
"It's a good thing that my mother isn't the biological daughter of the Liu family. I'm overjoyed."
Fortunately, Liu Yuelan was not the biological daughter of the Liu family, and the Liu family treated her badly, so the matter was dropped. Moreover, the Liu family dared not cause trouble again in the future.
It can be considered a blessing in disguise.
It's just that her mother probably won't be able to accept it for a while.
After all, having called them "Dad" and "Mom" for so many years, it's bound to leave a bitter taste in one's mouth when suddenly told that they aren't one's biological child.
However, Song Ning wouldn't ask any more questions. Even if her mother wasn't her biological mother, after all these years, her biological parents were probably long gone, so there was no point in pursuing these matters now.
Back home, everyone wanted to ask what had happened, but seeing the expressions on the faces of the others, none of them dared to speak.
Liu Yuelan and Grandma Liu went back to their house. Song Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. Everything's alright now. Let's hurry back to work. Nothing can affect our ability to make money."
No one asked any more questions; it was good that nothing happened.
Just now, their hearts were in turmoil.
If something really happens to the Song family, they will also suffer, and they won't be able to earn any money.
Meanwhile, Zheng Gaoyi, holding the things that Old Madam Liu had presented, looked at them again and again, his mind filled with suspicion.
After carefully putting the items away, he immediately wrote a letter and handed it, along with the pendant and bracelet, to Shi Tou: "Have Ying Huai send someone to deliver this letter and these items to the Duke's mansion, and tell him that he must personally deliver them to the princess."
"yes."
If Liu Yuelan really has a connection with the capital, it would be a happy event.
When Song Ning came to the county government office again, Zheng Gaoyi checked her complexion and, finding no change, felt relieved enough to start discussing business.
The two were discussing the construction of sewer systems in other counties.
Song Ning has finished several paintings in the past few days, but just in case, she has to go to each county and town at least once.
Jiangning County and Yong'an County are the closest to each other, so it's easy to go and come back on the same day.
In other places, it will probably take some time.
“If I go elsewhere, I won’t be able to manage things in the county right now. You’ll have to worry about it then. I’ll leave the blueprints with you. If you need anything, go find Craftsman Li. If anything happens to my family, please send me a message.”
"Don't worry, I'll be fine with the county government."
