Chapter 191 It's very likely that Yao Yao is the child of the first wife.
The desperate cries brought Yu Ningyao back to reality from her memories.
what happened?
She was only distracted for a moment, and before the coming-of-age ceremony was even over, Yu Ruowei's biological mother suddenly appeared.
She stared wide-eyed at the Jiang family member who had suddenly appeared.
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone present.
The crowd whispered amongst themselves.
Cui Ruixin's face turned extremely ugly.
She shouted angrily, "Where did this crazy woman come from? Drag her away right now!"
Her maid, Xia Ying, understood and quickly led the old woman to rush up and cover Jiang's mouth.
"This old woman used to be our young lady's wet nurse. After her child was lost, she went mad."
She explained loudly.
“My wife is kind-hearted, so she let her stay in the backyard to help with the work. I never expected that she would disrupt the eldest daughter’s coming-of-age banquet.”
In one sentence, Cui Ruixin was once again portrayed as a kind-hearted person.
Cui Ruixin gave her eldest daughter-in-law a look.
"Didn't you handle everything today? Where did this Jiang family member come from? Hurry up and drag them away."
Zhang Yunyi also did not expect that the Jiang family would suddenly appear.
This woman has never appeared in the manor before; how did she manage to sneak into the banquet today?
Someone must have taken advantage of the situation at home.
Zhang Yunyi's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant. She quickly lowered her eyes and admitted her mistake: "It was my fault for not handling things properly. Please punish me, Mother."
Jiang knew this was her only chance.
She struggled, making "mmmmm" noises, and bit the old woman who was trying to drag her away.
The old woman cried out in pain and released her grip.
"Young Miss, I am your own mother! When you were born, we moved you to the Marquis's mansion, and that's how you got the good life you have today. Don't forget us!!!" Jiang shouted, completely disregarding how noble the people present were.
All she knew was that if she didn't make a big fuss, her son would be gone.
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
Everyone was stunned by her words.
She didn't dare to pause and continued, "Madam Hou, we've found your biological daughter too. If you want to know her whereabouts, release my son."
"Nonsense! I don't know your son at all. Don't try to drag my Weiwei into this," Cui Ruixin hurriedly retorted.
Yu Kangping said angrily, "Are they all dead? Hurry up and drag this person away."
The Grand Princess, who was invited as the honored guest, frowned slightly.
She looked at Master Qiuyue.
"Qiuyue, what exactly is going on?"
Master Akizuki also found it incredible.
This should have been an occasion for her disciple to make a name for himself, how did it turn out like this?
The Crown Prince's gaze at Yu Ruowei became even more intense.
If she weren't the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, she might have gotten it even more easily.
The coming-of-age ceremony was stopped halfway through.
Yu Ruowei, who was originally envied by everyone, now receives many strange looks.
She suddenly spoke.
"Father, don't be anxious. Let me ask her a few questions."
"Weiwei, this is your coming-of-age ceremony, and the auspicious time cannot be delayed." Yu Kangping was extremely anxious.
I originally thought I could turn the tables today, but I never expected to lose face so badly.
He was overjoyed when the Grand Princess and the Crown Prince first arrived, but now he is filled with regret.
So many people witnessed the Marquis's family's humiliating moment.
Surely, by tomorrow, the entire capital will know about this scandal.
“Yes, listen to your father. Take this shrew who ruined your coming-of-age ceremony away first.” Cui Ruixin knew everything that happened back then, and she was the one who was most afraid of the truth being revealed.
"No, let her explain herself. Explain herself in front of all the officials and ladies. If I am truly not the daughter of the Marquis's family, I will leave. If what she says is all false, it will clarify my true identity." Yu Ruowei's tone was very firm.
Xie Yuntan looked on with some confusion.
She asked her mother-in-law in a low voice.
"Mother, do you think this is true or false?"
"I don't know." Shen Jinzhu shook her head, feeling inexplicably nervous.
The children of the Marquis's mansion have been switched?
She subconsciously glanced at Yu Ningyao beside her.
Speaking of which, Yaoyao and Weiwei are about the same age, and when her husband brought Yaoyao back, he seemed to have said that Yaoyao looked like the Marquis.
Her heart was pounding like a drum.
Could what that woman said be true? If the children were switched, then it's very likely that Yaoyao is the child of the first wife.
However, while they and the eldest son's family are not exactly enemies now, their relationship is not much better.
Moreover, her sister-in-law had always disliked Yaoyao and had even called her a bastard.
If Yaoyao is her biological daughter...
Shen Jinzhu dared not think about it.
Yu Ningyao didn't expect her mother to be so perceptive, immediately making the connection to herself.
She was still keeping a close eye on the Jiang family.
[System, investigate what happened. Why did the Jiang family suddenly choose today to launch their attack?]
The system immediately checked.
The answer came soon.
After Cui Ruixin learned about the baby swap, she forcibly bought Chen Shi and her three grandsons to serve as servants in the Marquis's household.
Jiang and her husband are searching for Cui Ruixin's biological daughter, which is you.
But they couldn't find her, so Cui Ruixin took her anger out on Chen Shi and her three sons.
Now, of her three sons, one has lost a hand, and two others have high fevers.
Cui Ruixin, however, refused to let anyone call a doctor to examine them, preferring to let them fend for themselves.
Yu Ningyao understood.
Jiang is resorting to desperate measures.
Given Yu Ruowei's earlier statement, Yu Kangping and Cui Ruixin couldn't dissuade her and had no choice but to let her ask in front of everyone.
Jiang recounted everything that happened back then.
Apart from Cui Ruixin and Yu Ningyao, everyone present was hearing about this for the first time.
Everyone's expressions changed.
"You, you're talking nonsense!!!" Yu Kangping pointed at Jiang's hand, his hand trembling slightly.
Although he believed Jiang's words in his heart, he refused to admit it at all.
If Yu Ruowei is not his biological daughter, wouldn't that prove he's incompetent and useless, having raised someone else's daughter for over a decade?
"I'm not lying. My child is still in your hands, Madam. I'm willing to pay with my life. I only beg you to spare my child." Madam Jiang wailed.
“The young lady has three small moles on her arm that can be connected in a line. These are my children. How could I not recognize them?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stared at Yu Ruowei's arm.
Unfortunately, nothing could be seen through the clothes.
“You were prepared all along; you peeked at Weiwei’s arm. That doesn’t count as evidence,” Cui Ruixin retorted vehemently.
As soon as she said that, everyone understood.
Oh, Yu Ruowei really does have three small moles on her arm.
Jiang's eyes were already red from crying.
She cried out, “I’m telling the truth. My lord, my lady, I beg you, I know I was wrong. I deserve to die for the sake of the child. Please give my son a chance to live and let a doctor come into the manor to examine him. I’m willing to die to atone for my sins.”
After saying that, she slammed her head against the stone table next to her.
