"Well, I can't say they're lying. After all, they really care about our Duo'er. Look, they've sent people to protect her, and quite a few of them. It must have cost a lot of money."
"While being willing to spend money doesn't necessarily mean valuing something, it's better than not being willing to spend at all, right?"
"But... what if they've made a mistake?"
“Or…” At this point, Madam Yunqi looked at Yunduo again and said to Yunduo first, “Good child, Grandma just can’t help having some guesses. I’m always uneasy if I don’t say them out loud. Whether it’s true or not, don’t take it to heart.”
The cloud nodded.
Then Yun Qi continued, "Or perhaps they simply see our Duo'er as a substitute."
"I've seen quite a few picture books, and I used to go to teahouses to listen to storytellers. In their stories, there's a story about a woman whose daughter died of illness, so she went to some other place to find a child to replace her..."
"Although the children are definitely living much better than before, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are living in luxury."
“If they really want to use our Duo’er as a substitute and make the child do someone else’s thing, I’m not willing for my child to suffer that kind of injustice.”
“Although our family is not extremely wealthy, we are not so poor that we can’t afford to eat. We can still make a living, and we will not lack food or clothing for our children. It is better for our children to be themselves freely in our own home than to go to someone else’s home and have to compromise and be someone else.”
The clouds over Yunnan University are fine.
Yun Dazheng seriously considered his wife's words, listening, thinking, and nodding. He felt that what Yun Qishi said made a lot of sense.
Yun Duo felt touched. Especially what her grandmother said, hoping that she could be herself and not go to someone else's house and be someone else in a wronged way, gave Yun Duo an indescribable feeling.
After all, strictly speaking, she isn't actually 'being' herself right now.
Gu Wu was dumbfounded.
This old lady has such an amazing imagination...
Alternatives.
His master and mistress only need to show the slightest hint, and what kind of children could they not have? Countless people would be vying for them. Why would they go to all this trouble, coming to this small mountain village to deceive a young girl?
If this girl wasn't their master and mistress's biological daughter, even if she looked remarkably like the mistress, the mistress wouldn't want her, wouldn't even give her a second glance, let alone go to so much trouble for her.
After all... a lie can never become the truth.
"Ahem..." Although Gu Wu felt a little sorry for his master and wife, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he coughed lightly twice and said very politely, "Old Madam Yun's concerns are very reasonable. However, I still have to say that you are overthinking it."
“Miss is now over eight years old. It can be said that our master and mistress lost her from the day she was born. It has been more than eight years, almost nine years. If we really wanted to find a replacement, we wouldn’t have waited this long.”
"To be honest... ever since my mistress lost Miss, her physical and emotional state has deteriorated significantly. My master has considered many solutions and even thought about finding someone to replace the child they lost. However... with just one glance, my mistress recognized her and resolutely refused to look at her a second time."
"Only Miss..."
