Xu Jingwan kept applying eye drops, and her considerate look made Xu's mother feel distressed.
"Nonsense, you are my mother's good child. No matter whether she comes back or not, nothing will change. You are still my daughter."
"Don't talk about leaving anymore. You're tearing my heart out."
Xu Qingchen's face was full of displeasure: "Wanwan, we only recognize you as our sister. Even if she comes back, she can't influence you, let alone replace you."
"Mom, we made a mistake more than ten years ago anyway, so why don't we just make the best of it and pretend we didn't know anything?"
"Second brother is right. Even if she comes back, I won't recognize a country bumpkin as my sister. My classmates will laugh to death if I tell others about it." Xu Qinglie agreed.
The Xu family was very unhappy about Xu Jinyi's arrival. Compared with Xu Jingwan, who had been raised by their side for more than ten years and was sensible and well-behaved, they had no good feelings towards Xu Jinyi at all.
She hasn't even come back yet, but she's already caused discord in the family. My mother and sister have cried countless times because of her.
Thinking of their beloved sister who had a nightmare last night and ran out crying, saying that she dreamed that they didn't want her anymore, the two brothers felt disgusted with Xu Jinyi's biological sister.
Over the years, they have had a deep relationship with Xu Jingwan, and their blood relationship cannot compare to the years of getting along with each other.
"Mother never intended to take her back, but the princess suddenly discovered Wanwan had no birthmark at the banquet that day and declared that we had the wrong child, which became public knowledge."
"If we don't take her back now, what will outsiders think?"
Xu Jingwan shook her head: "Mother, brothers, please don't say that. My sister will be so sad when she hears it when she comes back. I have occupied her identity for so many years and enjoyed your love for so many years. Even if she wants me to leave, I can understand."
"How dare she! Wanwan, don't be afraid. We've already discussed it. When she comes back, we'll announce that you're twins. By then, you'll still be the legitimate daughter of our Shangshu Mansion. Nothing will change."
In Xu's mother's eyes, Xu Jingwan, whom she raised and had affection for, was much more important than her biological daughter whom she had never met.
Xu Jingwan was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears, and she hugged Xu's mother with a look of dependence on her face.
Xu Qingyan originally wanted to make Xu Jinyi suffer a little on the way so that he could change his sharp-tongued character, and that way he would be easier to discipline when he returned to the capital.
But the carriage had been traveling for most of the day, but there was no movement in the carriage, let alone the people inside begging for mercy.
The carriage was so quiet as if no one was there, which made Xu Qingyan pull open the curtain.
Xu Jinyi had just woken up and was stretching and shaking his head when he noticed Xu Qingyan's actions and sneered, "This is the etiquette of the aristocratic families in the capital. Even if you are brother and sister, your behavior is inappropriate."
Xu Qingyan frowned, feeling very embarrassed to be called rude by a sister who had never seen the world.
He became increasingly displeased with Xu Jinyi: "I'm just telling you that you can't make it to the town to stay at an inn tonight, so you can rest in this forest."
Having said that, Xu Qingyan had the carriage stopped.
Xu Jinyi opened the curtains and looked out, seeing a forest. She looked at the sky and curled her lips upwards.
"It's okay. I'm not that delicate. I can sleep anywhere. I just don't know if you, with your delicate body, can get used to it."
This place is only ten kilometers away from the next town, and it’s not too late yet, so we can definitely get there.
It was obvious at a glance that this was her good brother who was going to teach her a lesson and was deliberately resting here.
However, the forest is very dangerous at night, so I don’t know who will teach whom a lesson.
Seeing that Xu Jinyi was still being stubborn, Xu Qingyan asked everyone to rest where they were and set off again tomorrow.
After lying down for a whole day, Xu Jinyi was tired and got off the carriage to stretch his sore body.
"There's nothing much to eat in the wild mountains. I guess you're used to eating coarse grains, so it's okay to eat a pancake to get through the night."
How could Xu Jinyi not know that this was meant to make her suffer and temper her temper.
"What does it matter? I'm not that pampered fake who's been used to eating delicacies from land and sea since childhood."
Xu Qingyan frowned, a little annoyed: "How can you, a girl, speak so sarcasticly? It wasn't Wanwan's idea that you took the wrong baby, so why are you blaming her?"
"You are so far behind Wanwan. Wanwan is well-educated and well-mannered. She would never say anything as insincere as you do."
Xu Jinyi snorted coldly: "Alright, then ask her to go and experience all the suffering I've endured for over a decade, and see what she'll do."
"That's a nice thing to say. Then you can ask her to get out and return my identity to me."
"She's well-educated, considerate, and kind. If she were really that good, she shouldn't be feeling incredibly guilty towards me right now, coming to pick me up and leaving on her own accord."
Xu Qingyan was a little annoyed when she saw her say this about her sensible and well-behaved sister: "You are making a big deal out of it. I was able to come pick you up so quickly because of Wanwan's persuasion. She didn't want to take advantage of your status. We asked her to stay."
"She's always thinking about you, even worried that you'd be upset if she saw her, and even suggested moving in with me. But you think so badly of her. You're really from a small village, unpresentable and petty."
Xu Jinyi mocked, "Retreating to advance is indeed a good tactic. I'm sure she'll cry and say she wants to leave, thank you for raising her, and then pretend to be weak and faint to get you to pity her and stay."
"I've seen this kind of trick before. It's just like being a whore and setting up a chastity arch. Who can't do it?"
Xu Qingyan's face darkened instantly, and anger was visible on his face: "Xu Jinyi, you are an unmarried girl, how can you speak so harshly?"
"If I had known you had such a rebellious character, I shouldn't have come to pick you up."
When Xu Qingyan saw his beloved sister being insulted like this, if the person in front of him wasn't a woman, he would have punched her.
But I still felt a little strange in my heart because of Xu Jinyi's words, because the facts were just as Xu Jinyi said, even word for word.
When Xu Jinyi's life experience was revealed, Xu Jingwan did offer to give up her position to Xu Jinyi, and sadly packed up her things to leave.
But just before leaving, she fainted from excessive sadness.
But Xu Jinyi said this word for word...
Xu Qingyan shook his head, secretly cursing himself for being so mad at Xu Jinyi's words that he actually suspected his sister, who grew up with him, of having bad intentions.
Jingwan is so gentle and kind, how could she lie to them? She must be making it up.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingyan looked at Xu Jinyi with eyes full of disgust.
