Cheng Xueyun covered her face in disbelief, unable to believe that she dared to hit herself. No one had ever hit her since she was a child, not even her father and mother.
"How dare you hit me?"
Cheng Xueyun looked at her with eyes wide open and raised her hand to hit back, but was stopped by Xuanping Hou halfway.
"She is your sister, not someone of unknown origin. All the characteristics match. From now on, you are no longer the only daughter of the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion. If you speak ill of Sui Sui again, I will never forgive you. You accidentally hurt your mother. Now, immediately, kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment. You will get up when I tell you to!"
As Xuanping Hou spoke, he pushed her away. Cheng Xueyun staggered and almost lost her balance.
She has always been the most indulged one in the family because she is the only daughter. Although she usually behaves in a too high-profile manner, the whole family is willing to indulge her. The most her father would do is punish her by making her copy some books, and that would be enough to fool her.
But now, Jiang Sui appeared. As soon as she came, she diverted everyone's attention. Everyone was only willing to praise her, protect her, and then target herself.
Now, even her father and mother are partial to her.
"Father, Mother, I have been by your side for eighteen years. Am I not as important as her in your hearts?"
She always felt that she was more important than Jiang Sui.
"These years are what we owe her. We let her wander around and suffer all kinds of grievances and pain. We owe her that. And you have been living the life of the eldest daughter for so many years, enjoying everything she should have enjoyed. Why are you still not satisfied and are still aggressive?"
Jiang didn't say that she had to treat the daughter born to a concubine harshly just because her biological daughter had returned. It's just that everything Cheng Xueyun said and did was wrong, and she couldn't just indulge her. She had to distinguish right from wrong.
Moreover, speaking from a common sense perspective, it is not wrong for her to favor her own biological daughter.
It would be fine if Cheng Xueyun had been obedient, sensible and filial in his arms over the years, but she was the most difficult to tame and repeatedly did disappointing things.
"So, mother, do you want me to give up my position as the legitimate daughter?"
Cheng Xueyun asked through gritted teeth, her eyes already filled with tears.
"Sui Sui is the legitimate daughter. There is no need for you to fight with her. We are both daughters of the Xuanping Marquis's mansion."
The person who answered this question was Marquis Xuanping. His tone was calm, but his heart was still on Jiang Sui's side.
Jiang Sui is the legitimate daughter, so what is there to say about giving way to her?
When it is announced to the public in the future, she will be the legitimate daughter.
"It's fake, it's all fake, everything is fake, I don't believe it, she's already dead, how could she come back to life, she must be pretending, yes, she must be pretending!"
Cheng Xueyun didn't want to believe it. She felt abandoned by everyone, as if overnight, everything no longer belonged to her.
"Come here, take the young lady to the ancestral hall and make her kneel down. Do not let her out without my permission."
Marquis Xuanping didn't want to continue quarreling with her, so he sent someone to take her away.
"Father, please don't be deceived by the liar. She is just greedy for the power and nobility of our Xuanping Marquis Mansion. Father, mother, don't believe her. I am your only daughter..."
Cheng Xueyun shouted at the top of her lungs and held on to the door tightly, refusing to go out.
Marquis Xuanping had a serious look on his face, and Jiang kept shaking her head and sighing. How could she have raised such an ignorant child?
She has done her best for Cheng Xueyun.
"I won't leave, I won't leave, brother, save me, brother~"
Now, she placed all her hopes on Cheng Moyang. She felt that since she and Cheng Moyang grew up together, he would definitely favor her.
My brother has always spoiled me the most.
But now, Cheng Moyang has rushed to Xuancheng on the border to find out the truth of that year. He has been gone for several days, but Cheng Xueyun didn't notice him and is still shouting for help here.
Marquis Xuanping's face turned dark. He winked and the two maids who had taken her out, who had originally been considerate of the fact that she was a young lady and were afraid of hurting her, became rude and used brute force to pry open Cheng Xueyun's hands that were clinging to the door frame and forcibly took her away.
As soon as she left, the front hall became quiet. Marquis Xuanping turned to look at Jiang Sui, his brows softened instantly:
"Good boy, you didn't fall just now, did you?"
Jiang Sui shook her head. The Madam had protected her just now, so she was fine. But the Madam might be in trouble.
"I'm fine, ma'am. Where are you hurt?"
Jiang just fell to the ground and felt that his left arm was hit. Now it is a little sore and he can hardly lift it up.
"As long as you're okay, it doesn't matter to me."
Hearing that Jiang Sui still called her Madam instead of Mother, she actually felt a little disappointed. But then she thought that they had just met each other and the child would need some time to adapt.
"My Lord, please ask a doctor to take a look. I'm worried." Jiang Sui just heard her groan and thought she must have fallen and injured herself.
There was a female doctor stationed in the mansion of Marquis Xuanping, who was responsible for treating the female members of the family. Marquis Xuanping was concerned about his wife, so he immediately sent someone to invite her over.
The female doctor examined the lady and found that her left arm was sprained because she hit the ground. She needed to rest for a few days. It was normal for her to not be able to use her strength. She just needed to apply medicated oil on time.
Only then did Marquis Xuanping feel relieved.
The couple turned their attention back to Jiang Sui.
"Sui Sui, tell us what you have experienced outside these years?"
Although Jiang knew that she must have had a hard time, she would feel heartbroken and suffocated if she listened. However, if she didn't listen, how could she know what she had experienced during these years without their care?
They owed her all this, so she must keep it in mind and compensate her double.
Since they wanted to hear it, Jiang Sui no longer concealed it and told the truth, not to win their pity and sympathy, but for the original owner. She had suffered all the hardships, while he had not suffered much after coming here. Her suffering should be known by her biological parents.
She told Jiang and Marquis Xuanping everything that the original owner had experienced after arriving at the Jiang family.
Later, I seized the opportunity and took the initiative to marry into the Xiao family instead of Jiang Qiaoqiao. I also worked wholeheartedly with the Xiao family to improve their lives and unite against external forces, which led to my current fortune.
At the beginning, before Jiang's father died, the original owner could still live under his protection. After Jiang's father died, she began to be abused by Chen Jinhua and her daughter.
If I hadn't been in her body, she would probably have ended up the same as in her previous life.
