At the time, Granny Li believed the wet nurse's words, after all, she had only seen the young lady once after she was born and could no longer remember what the young lady looked like.

She quickly forgot about it.

But today, when Mrs. Lin mentioned the girl who looked very much like the old lady, this incident suddenly popped into her mind.

She always felt that the girl who looked like an old lady was related to her master.

After listening to Li Mama's story, the old lady called her eldest aunt and asked her to find Liu Yun's wet nurse and investigate the girl.

Liu Yun's wet nurse had long since left the manor to enjoy her retirement.
It will take time to find her.

The aunt was shocked: she couldn't believe that Liu Yun wasn't her biological daughter, since Liu Yun's personality was so similar to hers.

The eldest aunt objected to investigating the girl, but the old lady insisted.

Since the eldest aunt did not send anyone, the old lady sent her trusted nanny to Wu County.

The eldest aunt stormed off in anger, and the old lady was also furious at her attitude, clutching her chest and crying out in pain.

After returning home, Uncle Liu hurried to visit the old lady in her courtyard and learned about the girl from her.

Uncle Liu absolutely would not allow his bloodline to be lost to outsiders.

He sent his trusted confidant, along with Zhang Mama, whom the old lady had sent, to Wu County.

A few days later, Liu Yun's wet nurse arrived at the Earl's mansion.

The wet nurse had something to hide, and the old lady scolded her: "You shameless woman, how dare you confuse the bloodline of my Earl's mansion!"

The wet nurse was so frightened that she told everything.

It turns out that Liu Jun was not of the Liu family bloodline, but was the child of the wet nurse's younger sister.

The wet nurse's younger sister was captivated by the wealth of the Earl's mansion when she first visited her.

Unable to stay in this luxurious home and enjoy her life, she switched her daughter with the eldest daughter of the Liu family.

Her daughter was born in the same month as the eldest daughter of the Liu family, but because the family was poor, there was not enough breast milk, so she was thin and small.

Seeing the plump and fair-skinned young lady, the wet nurse's sister was filled with jealousy and, driven by malice, simply carried the young lady away.

The wet nurse wasn't with the young lady at the time, and when she returned, she found that the young lady had already been taken away.

She immediately ran back to find her younger sister and demand that the young lady be returned to her.

But she never expected her younger sister to be so ruthless, actually abandoning the young lady in the wilderness.

When she found the wilderness again, the young lady was no longer there.

The wet nurse had no choice but to go along with the mistake and raise her sister's child as the eldest daughter of the Liu family, fearing punishment from the Liu family.

The old lady was so angry she almost fainted, and even the eldest aunt was furious.

Her own daughter was defiled by these two lowly people.

The eldest aunt ordered the wet nurse to be beaten to death, and naturally, her own sister was not spared either.

The person who had gathered the information returned and learned that the girl was someone the family had found, and was not their biological daughter.

Judging from the time and place the family picked her up, the girl was the eldest daughter who had been abandoned by the wet nurse's sister.

The old lady and Uncle Liu immediately sent someone to bring the person back.

As for Liu Yun...

Although she knew that this was not her biological daughter, but the daughter of her enemy, her aunt had raised Liu Yun for more than ten years and had a deep affection for her. She did not want Liu Yun to leave.

The old lady and Uncle Liu also pondered: they had spent so many resources to raise Liu Yun, wouldn't it be a waste to just let her go like this? Moreover, the fact that they had replaced the female lead was a scandal, so they had suppressed the matter from the beginning.

Aside from their few masters and their trusted confidants, only they knew that Liu Yun was a fake heiress; outsiders had no idea that she was a fake heiress.

Therefore, she is still a daughter of the Liu family and can still be married off.

Of course, the Liu family bloodline cannot be allowed to circulate outside the family. After she is brought back, she will be the second young lady of the Liu family, born to Liu's eldest uncle's concubine.

Because of his poor health, he spent most of his time recuperating at the estate.

Now that his health has recovered, he was brought back to Beijing.

On the day the second young lady returned home, Liu Xin and Liu Dong both went to greet her.

The second young lady changed her name to Liu Ying. Judging from her appearance, she was no less beautiful than Liu Yun, and she really looked very similar to the old lady.

The old lady was thrilled. How could she not like her granddaughter who looked so much like her?

His heart immediately turned to Liu Ying.

The old lady held Liu Ying's hand and said with pity, "Good child, if you ever suffer any grievances in the future, come to your grandmother. I will definitely help you."

Liu Ying replied with a smile, "Thank you, Grandmother."

Her eyes flashed, and she smiled as brightly as spring blossoms.

Although Liu Ying was a little awkward with etiquette, her demeanor was poised and elegant, hardly befitting someone from a humble background.

This pleased both the old lady and Uncle Liu.

The old lady decided to keep the child by her side and raise her herself, hoping that she could marry into a high-ranking family in the future, and perhaps even a prince.

Hmph, the girls I raise are definitely better than those raised by the Qin family.

What kind of girl has Qin raised Liu Yun to be?

You still want to be empress?
The empress must be dignified, elegant, virtuous, and not jealous.

But Liu Yun, like Qin Shi, has a strong possessive desire. Will she be able to allow the emperor to favor other concubines in the future?
The emperor is not like Liu Laoda, who can be manipulated by the empress.

If the empress dares to do this, the emperor will definitely depose her.

The title of "most beautiful woman" and "most talented woman" is not something an empress should have; it belongs to a favored concubine.

Unlike the old lady's warm and friendly attitude, the aunt's attitude towards her daughter, whom she had lost and found again, was rather cold.

It's understandable. Compared to her biological daughter, who was very unfamiliar with her and lacked proper upbringing, Qin Shi preferred her adopted daughter, whom she had carefully raised.

Aren't the biological mothers in many stories about real and fake heiresses like this?

Auntie is much better than Yoon Joon-hee's mother; at least she doesn't accuse her of disowning her own daughter.

The eldest aunt still acknowledges her daughter, but between the adopted daughter and her biological daughter, she prefers the adopted daughter whom she raised herself.

The eldest aunt introduced her brothers and sisters to Liu Ying in a calm manner.

Liu Ying greeted everyone one by one.

Liu Jing smiled and took Liu Ying's arm: "Second sister, it's so good to have you back. Let's study and play together from now on!"

Although she resented that someone else was taking away the old lady's favor, she knew that she was able to live so comfortably in the Earl's mansion because of the old lady.

The old lady would naturally try to befriend those she valued, rather than make enemies of them.

Although Liu Ying came from outside, she was, after all, a legitimate daughter, and her status was higher than that of her, a daughter born out of wedlock.

If she has a conflict with Liu Ying, the old lady is very likely to side with Liu Ying.

The legal wife would naturally side with her own biological daughter.

Liu Ying accepted Liu Jing's offer of goodwill: "Okay, I'll have to trouble you from now on, little sister."

When Liu Tong and Liu Xin were introduced, Liu Xin gave Liu Ying a friendly smile.

Liu Ying had a very good impression of Liu Xin.

Compared to Liu Jing, who seems calculating, Liu Xin, with whom she has no conflict of interest, is the person she should befriend most. (End of Chapter)
