In this situation, how could Mrs. Xu dare to say that she gave birth to a stillborn baby?
If I gave birth to a stillborn baby at the same time as my mother-in-law died, I would probably be rejected immediately.
So, Xu came up with the idea of switching the baby.
However, the doctor had already diagnosed that she was pregnant with a baby girl, so she didn't dare to bring back a boy. She could only ask the midwife next to her to go out and find a baby girl.
Mrs. Xu didn't know the identity of the baby girl, but she heard from the midwife that she was an unwanted abandoned baby.
As a result, I felt more justified in my heart.
She felt that if she had not adopted the baby girl, she would probably have frozen to death outside, so she had done a good thing.
Especially when the child she picked up did not bring her any good luck, but the old lady died as soon as the child came home. Some people then spread the rumor that the child had a hard life and killed his grandmother at birth.
Even though General Sang was not a superstitious person, after hearing such words so many times, he couldn't help but have some prejudice against Sang Liwan.
This child is not loved by his father, and he has not secured a secure position in the mansion for himself. Moreover, he is not his biological child.
Therefore, Xu never had any maternal love for Sang Liwan. To her, Sang Liwan was just a tool.
At the beginning, she was her tool. After she had her own biological child, Sang Yuyan, Sang Liwan became Sang Yuyan's tool.
If she hadn't been telling her since she was a child, how would a little girl like Sang Yuyan know how to bully Sang Liwan?
However, what Xu had not expected was that she had only agreed with General Sang's opinion to marry Sang Liwan to His Royal Highness Prince An so that she could work for the entire general's mansion, but this would actually cause Sang Yuyan to become estranged from her.
Especially after Sang Yuyan fell in love with Gu Huaizhi and wanted to marry him, the mother-daughter relationship between the two was directly broken.
However, even so, before Xu passed away, he was still thinking about Sang Yuyan.
She did her best to arrange everything for Sang Yuyan, but she underestimated Sang Yuyan's jealousy of Sang Liwan.
Sang Yuyan would never seek Sang Liwan's protection. She would only try to pull Sang Liwan down from the clouds.
After listening to Gu Huaizhi's words, Sang Liwan did not speak for a long time.
Until her silence made Gu Huaizhi feel a little uneasy.
He had been hiding it from her and had not told her about it because he was afraid that she would be upset and unable to accept it for a while.
After all, she grew up in the general's mansion. Even if she was not very close to General Sang and the Xu couple, she had called them father and mother for more than ten years.
It is hard for any normal person to accept the fact that the people he has called father and mother for more than ten years are not his blood relatives.
However, what Gu Huaizhi didn't expect was that Sang Liwan was not a normal person.
Because she is not the real Sang Liwan.
For her, Xu and General Sang were not her biological parents. She was just a little surprised to hear the news.
But apart from the surprise, there were no extra emotions.
On the contrary, it was Gu Huaizhi's cautious look that made Sang Liwan feel a little curious.
She felt that Gu Huaizhi cared about her a little too much.
In particular, she saw that Gu Huaizhi's eyes were clear and bright, without any worldly desires between men and women, as if he simply cared about her as a person.
But what kind of relationship would make one person have such emotions towards another?
When Sang Liwan thought of this, he looked at Gu Huaizhi with suspicion.
Gu Huaizhi was not a fool. After thinking about it, he understood why Sang Liwan looked at him like that.
"Princess, do you have something to say to me?"
Sang Liwan shook his head, "The prince must have something to say to me, right?"
"Oh?" Gu Huaizhi raised his eyebrows, "Then tell me, Princess."
Seeing that he seemed to be deliberately keeping the secret, Sang Liwan didn't say much, but continued speaking along with what he was saying.
"Your Highness wouldn't go out of his way to find out about the affairs of a man you have no connection with. Furthermore, this happened almost twenty years ago, yet Your Highness is so concerned about it. I have to give it some thought."
"What are you thinking about?"
Sang Liwan raised her eyes calmly, "I really think the prince would do this. Is there any connection between the prince and the general's mansion?"
“There is indeed some connection.”
This time, Gu Huaizhi admitted it very readily.
"Sir, tell me about it."
Gu Huaizhi lowered his head and stroked the jade pendant on his waist, his lips curled up without a smile in his eyes.
"Because the child that Xu took away was my sister."
Sang Liwan's eyebrows moved slightly.
Gu Huaizhi's words were beyond her expectations, but also within her expectations.
If not for this, she really couldn't think of any other reason that would make Gu Huaizhi travel all the way to the capital to investigate an incident that happened twenty years ago.
But if the object of the investigation is his blood relative, then all this becomes reasonable.
Gu Huaizhi's words were almost explicit.
Sang Liwan didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.
Gu Huaizhi felt uneasy because of her gaze, "Princess, you..."
"Your Highness, are you saying that I am your sister who was stolen away by Xu's men?"
Gu Huaizhi didn't say anything, but just pursed his lips, his eyes filled with heartache, "I know this may be difficult for you to accept for a while, but Li Wan, this is the truth."
In this era without paternity testing, Sang Liwan was somewhat shocked that Gu Huaizhi recognized her so hastily.
After all, the Duke of Qi was of high status, and not just any wild child could become his child.
Besides, so many years have passed since the incident, and Gu Huaizhi is so careless. I'm afraid he won't even be able to explain it to the Duke of Qi.
Hearing Sang Liwan's thoughts, Gu Huaizhi couldn't help but feel a little amused.
He really didn't know what was going on in Sang Liwan's head. He actually started to worry about them.
"Do you think that Dad doesn't know anything about my staying in the capital for so long this time?"
The intimacy in the words made Sang Liwan slightly stunned.
But before she could finish her words, she heard Gu Huaizhi say, "Dad is already on his way to the capital. He will probably be here in a few days."
This time, Sang Liwan was really stunned.
She had never expected that the people in the Duke of Qi's Mansion would be so proactive.
It had only been a few days since Gu Huaizhi found out the truth, and the Duke of Qi was almost here.
You have to know that the journey from Shangyu to the capital takes at least ten days to half a month.
Sang Liwan felt a little complicated. She stared at Gu Huaizhi for a long time before she blurted out something that was a bit depressing.
"Aren't you afraid you might have made a mistake?"
