"Is this... really the case?" There was a hint of doubt in Madam Liao's voice.
"It's absolutely true!" Ling Meng said with a certainty, with a hint of anxiety, "If you don't believe it, you can check it out for yourself."
Nanny Liao hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to do as she was told and slowly pushed open the door.
Behind the door, Liu Shuangshuang, who was so hungry that her face was pale and her body was thin, cried out loudly when she saw someone coming in: "Quick, quick, bring me something to eat!"
When Madam Liao saw her rough and savage appearance, and her haggard face, which looked like a piece of charcoal picked up from the ashes, she was already 80% convinced. If Liu Shuangshuang was really Lingmeng's daughter, how could she be nurtured so badly, like an uncivilized wild child.
"Who are you?" Madam Liao's attitude suddenly changed, her tone became cold and hard, and she looked like she was chasing someone away. "What do you want to do in my Qin's house? Hurry up and have someone take her away!"
Ling Meng was in tears, and it seemed that she had handed over all decisions to Madam Liao, just hoping for a resolution.
Liu Shuangshuang keenly caught the order to leave in the words, turned her head and looked directly at Ling Meng, her eyes full of disappointment and questioning: "Mom, are you going to drive me away too?"
"Don't be so rude!" Madam Liao interrupted her immediately, "How can you call her Miss Qin casually?"
Liu Shuangshuang's expression turned gloomy: "Mom, do you really not recognize me?"
Liu Shuangshuang was filled with anger at the thought of losing the Qin family's wealth.
"Mother! Have you forgotten that man?! The reason I'm here today is because of his orders. He said in person that you would accept me and let me become a daughter of the Qin family! If you don't recognize me and don't allow me to set foot in the Qin Mansion... then I will expose that man to the public!" Liu Shuangshuang still didn't give up, and her words revealed threats, "Mother has spent many years with him, he knows everything about you, right?"
Liu Shuangshuang knew very little about Liu Xue and Ling Meng's past, but she had discovered that whenever "that person" was mentioned, Ling Meng, who was originally in tears, would become panic-stricken.
Madam Liao pretended to be confused: "Who are you talking about?"
Liu Shuangshuang turned her gaze to Ling Meng: "Mom, do you really not recognize me?"
Madam Liao seemed to be about to take Liu Shuangshuang away, but Ling Meng hurriedly stopped her.
"Wait a minute!" Ling Meng cried, "Madame Liao, you can't do this!"
"No?" Madam Liao was puzzled. "Why not?"
Ling Meng leaned over to Madam Liao's ear and whispered, "If we kick her out, I'm afraid this girl will ruin the reputation of our Qin Mansion."
Madam Liao's face darkened. Yes, she almost overlooked this. Looking at Liu Shuangshuang's careless look, she might even throw dirty water outside.
This matter still needs to be decided by the old lady.
At this time, the old lady, who had been waiting for Madam Liao for a long time, had realized the seriousness of the situation and walked in with Qin Huaiyu with a gloomy face.
Ling Meng was even more panicked. She felt that Liu Shuangshuang's eyes were full of murderous intent.
However, she resolutely knelt in front of Old Madam Qin and cried, "Mother, it's all my daughter-in-law's fault. I shouldn't have let the wolf into the house!"
Old Madam Qin originally believed that Liu Shuangshuang was her daughter and was about to slap her, but Nanny Liao explained everything to her in time.
After seeing the situation clearly, the old lady put down her hand and laughed: "Lingmeng, what are you doing? Get up quickly!"
She secretly thought that Ling Meng was really her good daughter-in-law, so kind. Looking at her belly, she must be carrying the blood of the Qin family.
Thinking that she had almost hit her future grandson just now, Madam Qin quickly made up for it, took out the treasured housekeeper seal from her sleeve, and said with a smile: "Look at me, I actually forgot about this. Come and have a look. I have this seal with me all the time and I am going to give it to you."
Ling Meng recognized it as the housekeeper's private seal. After wiping away her tears, she said sadly, "It was all my daughter-in-law's negligence that I failed to inform my mother of everything in time."
Even though the past has been covered up temporarily, how long can Liu Shuangshuang's affairs be hidden?
She was determined to seize all the money in the Qin Mansion before the truth came to light!
I originally planned to completely control the Qin family, but I didn't expect such a change to happen!
Now, we can only settle for the second best and take away the Qin family’s property!
"Mom!" Liu Shuangshuang was very excited. "If you don't approve of me, I will reveal all the secrets of that person!"
Ling Meng whispered: "Mother, this girl is no longer in her right mind. If you don't acknowledge her and drive her out of the house, I'm afraid..."
After careful consideration, Madam Qin's eyes flashed with ruthlessness: "Take her..."
"Mom." Ling Meng hurriedly whispered in her ear, "If we kill her like this, I'm afraid something bad will happen! This girl's words are incoherent, who knows if she revealed anything to others on the way here? Now... people outside are waiting to see the joke of our Qin family!"
When mentioning the Qin family's reputation, which Old Madam Qin attached the most importance to, her face immediately became solemn.
The look he gave Liu Shuangshuang became even colder.
"We can only treat this girl well now, and it's best... to treat her as well as possible, so that the outside world can understand the kindness of the Qin family!" Ling Meng suggested, "If the outside world knows about our good deeds, perhaps a hundred years later, people will still praise our Qin family!"
"That's true..." Old Madam Qin became more and more satisfied with Ling Meng.
When he looked at Liu Shuangshuang again, his eyes became kind.
Although this girl is of no use, it would be a happy thing if she could bring great reputation to the Qin family!
Wait until you've been nice to her for a month or two, and then find an excuse to get rid of her.
After all, accidents can happen at any time to such young children.
Old Madam Qin confirmed Liu Shuangshuang's identity with a smile: "Let her stay in our house."
Qin Huaiyu looked up in surprise, his face full of disbelief: "No way!"
Qin Huaiyu was panicked. She felt it was extremely unfair that her status as the only daughter of the Qin family was about to be usurped.
In addition to being neglected recently, a rival suddenly appeared, claiming to be Ling Meng's biological daughter. Qin Huaiyu was worried that he would lose all the favor.
"Mother! Didn't we agree that I am your only daughter?" Qin Huaiyu held Ling Meng's hand tightly.
Ling Meng patted her head nonchalantly: "Huai Yu, you are my only daughter. But wouldn't it be nice if you could have another sister?"
Qin Huaiyu's palms were sweating, and when he looked at the gentle smile on Ling Meng's face, he was left with only panic.
She turned around and saw Liu Shuangshuang's provocative smile.
A fear of being abandoned welled up in my heart.
For the first time in her life, she actually remembered the ugly biological mother who disgusted her so much.
The memory of her mother strictly teaching her rules and etiquette came to her mind.
She also recalled the scene of her mother making pastries for her, stroking her head with a smile, and letting her savor the pastries slowly.
Qin Huaiyu clenched his teeth and tried hard to clear the memories from his mind.
Humph! She has only one mother, and that is Lingmeng.
It was just an extremely ugly monster who pretended to be her sister and acted as the young lady of the Qin family.
What does she have to fear!
In less than half a day, the news that the Qin family welcomed a new daughter spread throughout the mansion.
