Lord Yun looked at Liu Yiyi and realized that she did indeed resemble her. Considering that the two families had given birth together, it was undoubtedly a case of babies being switched at birth.
He pondered for a moment, then asked, "What do you plan to do?"
Lady Hou was extremely agitated. "What else can we do? We must send Yunli back immediately. Our daughter has suffered a great loss. We have been raising her for ten years. I don't want to see her again."
Lord Yun was at his wit's end. This child wasn't a cat or dog. He had raised him for ten years. How could he just send him away like that?
"How heartbroken must Yun Li be? She's innocent too. Why don't we keep both of them?"
Lady Hou was even angrier. At a time like this, her husband was still thinking about that wild girl.
"My lord, you're confused! That wild girl has been taking our daughter's identity for ten years. Do you still want to wrong our daughter?"
Liu Yiyi looked sad.
Lord Yun looked at his wife, feeling utterly bewildered, and could only agree to send her away.
"I don't care anymore, you figure it out yourself."
Liu Yiyi smiled smugly; she was certain she would never have to suffer again in her life.
As for the fake heiress, she will naturally be returned to her rightful place, and she can forget about ever living a good life relying on the Marquis's mansion again.
?
Xiao Li arrived at this moment. When she regained consciousness, she found herself kneeling on the ground crying.
"You've been my biological daughter for ten years, and now you're just getting your identity back. You're getting off easy."
The speaker was Lady Hou, who was seated in the main seat.
Liu Yiyi, who was wearing a light green dress, covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Sister, do you not want to go back to Peach Blossom Village? Of course, life in the Marquis's mansion is much better than in the countryside. We can even eat eggs every day."
Lady Hou frowned, feeling even more heartbroken as she looked at her own daughter. She couldn't even eat eggs as much as she wanted; she was truly suffering.
Xiao Li watched as Liu Yiyi pretended to wipe her eyes, and she suppressed a laugh and lowered her head.
Liu Yiyi had gotten very tanned in the countryside, and she had applied a lot of powder, making her neck and face two different colors.
When she wiped away her tears, the contrast between her hand and face, coupled with her green dress, made her look anything but beautiful.
She was already forty years old when she was reborn, but now that she's ten, she's acting like an adult, which looks quite comical.
Whenever Lady Hou thought about how she had raised someone else's daughter while her own daughter was suffering in that other person's home, she felt extremely distressed.
"It's settled then. Go back and pack your things. I'll send someone to take you back later."
Xiao Li stood up and went straight back.
Lady Hou was so angry that she kept tearing at her handkerchief.
"She's not my biological daughter after all. Look at her, I raised her for ten years and she has no manners at all."
Granny Zhang glanced at Xiao Li's retreating figure and shook her head. She had watched the original owner grow up, and she knew the original owner's temperament better than the Lady Hou.
However, there's no need to speak up for her now, since she has already been abandoned by the Marquis's mansion.
"Yes, we must make it up to our young lady in the future. She has suffered a lot."
Lady Hou pulled Liu Yiyi into her arms and comforted her gently.
Liu Yiyi seemed to remember something, "Mother, Yun Li and I don't need to change our names, right? We can just switch them back. Changing them back and forth is too much trouble, and outsiders will gossip."
"Or I could stay home and not go out. In a couple of years, when I've grown up, no one will be able to tell the difference."
Lady Hou thought for a moment. Yun Li used to be timid, and she didn't like her. She had never taken her out to social events. So, even if someone else took her, not many people would know.
In two years, people will have long forgotten what she looks like.
"That's fine, but since she's already used this name, won't my son mind?"
Liu Yiyi quickly shook her head, "I don't mind. This is a name given by the Marquis's mansion. How could a country girl like her be worthy of using it? It should be returned to me."
Lady Hou nodded, "I'm glad my son doesn't mind. This way, it saves us a lot of trouble, and we don't even need to change the family genealogy."
"Granny, go and inform them about this."
Lady Hou instructed Zhang Mama that she didn't even want to mention her name anymore.
She turned her head and continued chatting with her daughter.
"You can climb trees? That's amazing..."
"Really? Isn't it cold catching fish in winter?"
...
Granny Zhang looked at the two people enjoying themselves in the room, shook her head again, and walked towards the backyard.
Upon receiving the notification, Xiao Li was not surprised at all; she had discovered a small detail in the original owner's memories.
Two years ago, when the original owner was strolling on the street, she found a person who was about to be beaten to death by thugs. She ordered her servants to rescue the person, take him to the clinic, and pay the medical expenses.
This person is Yang Zhenyan, the heir apparent of the Prince of Nanyang, who was also the person the original owner later married.
He got into an argument with his arch-enemy, who then hired thugs to deal with him, threatening to cripple one of his legs.
Fortunately, the original owner of this body came and saved him; otherwise, it would have been questionable whether he could have saved his leg.
The original owner didn't take this to heart and forgot about it after a few days.
Five years later, Yang Zhenyan came to propose marriage, and Lady Hou gladly agreed.
The Prince of Nanyang's residence is different from the Marquis of Anping's residence; the Prince of Nanyang is the emperor's own brother, so of course, such a good opportunity must be seized.
So much so that even after they found their real daughter, they didn't acknowledge her, which might be partly due to this reason.
Liu Yiyi doesn't want to change her name now, probably because she's already planning this marriage.
Looking at the not-so-luxurious furniture in the room, Xiao Li pouted. The original owner was the eldest daughter of the main wife, but the things in this room were all half-new and half-old, with only basic decorations, which showed that she was not usually favored.
If it weren't for her status as the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife, her life would probably be even more difficult.
When the Lady of the Marquis gave birth to a girl, she was extremely disappointed, even though she had specifically consulted a renowned doctor.
She was overjoyed when the doctor immediately diagnosed it as a boy and gave him a large reward.
She had longed for a legitimate eldest son for a long time. As long as she gave birth to a legitimate eldest son, her position would be secure. Now that she had given birth to a girl, how could she not be disappointed?
She had no desire to go to Hanshan Temple at that time, and didn't care about any master. She went straight back to the Marquis's residence the next day.
She didn't even glance at the child before handing him over to Granny Zhang.
Fortunately, she finally gave birth to a legitimate son the following year, which put her mind at ease. However, all her maternal love was given to the legitimate son, and the original owner didn't even get a sliver of it.
Ten years passed like this until Yang Zhenyan came to propose marriage, and her life finally became better.
Unfortunately, Liu Yiyi was reborn, and her fate changed from then on.
Xiao Li didn't pack anything; instead, she changed into a light pink ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) that the original owner usually liked to wear.
She wore only a silver hairpin inlaid with pearls, which made her appear quiet and gentle.
"Miss, don't be sad..."
The little maid Xiaoyue at the door looked at Xiaoli with pleading eyes. She was just a servant, and although she sympathized with her mistress, there was nothing she could do.
Xiao Li smiled; she wasn't sad at all. Leaving the Marquis's mansion was the best thing ever.
