This story sounds very real and reasonable at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, you will find many loopholes.
"How could Runiang's parents allow an unmarried woman like her to get pregnant before marriage?" Yu Jiao couldn't call a woman she had never met "mother".
The reputation of a woman from Taiyan is very important. Runiang is a girl from a decent family, not a singing girl or a girl from a brothel.
Yu Jiao's eyes were so clear that they seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. Liu Sanniang tightened her hand holding the handkerchief, licked her dry lips, and replied, "Ru Niang's parents both died of tuberculosis, and she is the only orphan left in the family."
Yu Jiao did not comment on Liu Sanniang's words. The most contradictory part of this past event was that Liu Sanniang said that she and Runiang had a close relationship, so she accepted Runiang's dying request and raised her as a child.
Whether in the few memories of the original body, or in the several times that Yu Jiao met and interacted with Liu Sanniang after she traveled through time, Liu Sanniang's strange attitude did not seem like she was helping a friend raise her daughter, but rather like she was raising the daughter of an enemy.
It was clear that Liu Sanniang hated her, and there was also a hint of fear in her hatred. This was Yu Jiao's most intuitive feeling.
Seeing Yu Jiao remaining silent, Liu Sanniang felt a little uneasy. She glanced at Liu Ziqi, but could not see any emotion on his handsome and gentle face. She could only pinch her palms and think carefully about whether there was anything wrong with what she had just said.
After a while, he said, "The jade buckle your father left for you, Master Liu also has one, and that jade buckle was left by Ru Niang."
"The jade button is lost." Yu Jiao said lightly.
Liu Sanniang was startled and stood up. "How did you lose it? Didn't I tell you to always keep it with you? You are so careless!"
There was anxiety and reproach in her words. Liu Ziqi said, "It's okay. Now that Yu Jiao and I have known each other, the jade button is not an important thing."
Liu Sanniang looked at Liu Ziqi obscurely. The jade button was an important proof of Yu Jiao's identity. How important was it! But since Liu Ziqi had said so, she sat down and murmured, "That's right."
Yu Jiao looked directly at Liu Sanniang and asked again, "I still have a question. Since you have a close relationship with Ru Niang and are willing to help her raise her little girl, why do you dislike me?"
Liu Sanniang was speechless for a moment. She didn't dare to look at Yu Jiao's watery eyes. She said in a very low voice, "Do you hate me in your heart? I have indeed treated you badly over the years, and I have never really treated you as my own daughter. Every time I look at you, I will think of Ru Niang's death. I really can't like you."
"You have your biological father's blood flowing in your body. If it weren't for him, how could Runiang be so miserable?" There was a hint of grief and resentment in Liu Sanniang's expression. In a trance, she thought of her own girl who died young. She was so well-behaved and cute. It was a pity that she was reincarnated into their family and was sent away by her parents to be a scapegoat.
"If it weren't for you, how could Runiang have died? You are just like your biological father. You are the one who killed Runiang!" Thinking of the past, Liu Sanniang accused resentfully and helplessly.
The darling daughter she carried for ten months and gave birth to died so miserably. How could she not feel hatred towards someone whose daughter died for her?
Seeing Liu Sanniang's sad expression, tears in her eyes, and her extremely grief-stricken look, it didn't seem like she was acting at all. Yu Jiao had to believe that this story was true.
"You have been educated by Yu Yujiao, and my Liu family owes you this favor." Liu Ziqi spoke up in time to stop Liu Sanniang from getting too emotional and saying something wrong.
Liu Sanniang came back to her senses and sat there for a while, suppressing her fluctuating emotions. She said, "Since your biological father is willing to take you back, you should follow your brother to the capital."
Yu Jiao said, "From what you just said, that man let Ru Niang down. He is not worthy of support at all. He is not a good person. Why should I go back?"
She looked at Liu Ziqi and said, "To be honest, the background you described is too high for me. I have lived outside as Meng Yujiao for so many years. The Liu family is too unfamiliar to me. I am used to being rough and rude. I really can't be a noble lady. Why don't you just say that you didn't find me?"
The inner waters of a wealthy family are too deep. One is restricted in every way and is subject to discipline. How can one be as free as one is now? Yu Jiao does not want to go back to the Liu family with Liu Ziqi at all, nor is she interested in the wealth and luxury of a family with belles and rostrum.
"There were many misunderstandings about what happened back then. I'm not trying to defend my father, but he's not a heartless person. He's far from what Madam Liu thinks." If you want to make a lie come true, you have to use countless lies to fill it up. Liu Ziqi is meticulous and has always been careful and cautious in his work over the years, leaving no trace of any flaws.
When he left Beijing, he had already woven a fine network, filling every aspect without any loopholes. He looked at Yu Jiao and said softly, "After father returned to Beijing from Huairou, he was framed by traitors in the court and imprisoned. When Runiang went to Beijing to look for father, the Liu family was in turmoil. The Jinyiwei surrounded the mansion for several months, waiting for the emperor's order to confiscate the family and arrest all the people in the Liu family and put them in Zhaoyu. Everyone in Beijing knew about it at that time. After your mother went to Beijing, she must have known about the situation of the Liu family. In order to save the bloodline for your father, she brought you back to Huairou."
