Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

It turned out that the elegantly dressed old lady was actually the old lady of the Marquis of Anqing.

The Marquis of Anqing's family were also founding heroes who followed the late emperor in conquering the country.

Unfortunately, the Marquis of Anqing's family was unlucky; the old Marquis of Weiyuan and his eldest son both died on the same day.

Over the years, it has not been easy for the old lady of the Marquis of Anqing to guard the Marquis of Anqing's mansion.

Now, seeing her holding Xue Lingyi and crying her heart out, everyone was dumbfounded.

Madam Xue was completely stunned, and her heart was pounding.

In an instant, an incredible thought flashed through my mind.

The old lady of the Marquis of Anqing finally stopped crying. She held Xue Lingyi's hand and said, "How could I joke about something like this?"

Her expression was serious as she looked at Madam Xue and asked, "Fifteen years ago, did you give birth to your child in a dilapidated temple?"

Madam Xue was shocked, and her suspicions became even more certain.

Her heart was pounding. She dared not lie, nor did she need to, so she said, "Yes."

The old lady of the Marquis of Anqing added, "There was another woman who gave birth at the same time as you in the dilapidated temple."

Madam Xue nodded. "Yes, that lady gave birth on the same day as me. It was raining heavily that day, and we couldn't find a midwife, so our own nannies helped with the delivery."

The old lady of Anqing looked at Xue Lingyi with affection: "That's right. The woman who gave birth at the same time as you in the dilapidated temple is my daughter-in-law. She also gave birth to a daughter."

Madam Xue's expression was complicated. "Later, a group of beggars came to the dilapidated temple. We didn't want the beggars to live in the same dilapidated temple as us, so we wanted to drive them out."

However, the beggars claimed that the dilapidated temple was their territory, and then they started fighting with our people.

We didn't have many people with us, but the group of beggars was numerous and powerful. In the chaos, we had no choice but to leave with the child in our arms. Fortunately, the rain had stopped by then.

Could it be that the babies were switched at birth back then?

"That's right, you must have switched the babies at that time!"

As she spoke, the old lady of Anqing Marquis looked at Xue Lingyi again. At this moment, Xue Lingyi's hands and feet were in heavy shackles, she was wearing prison clothes, and she had no jewelry on her head. She looked very disheveled.

The old lady of Anqing Marquis's face was full of heartache, and tears streamed down her face. "My granddaughter, your grandmother had no idea that you were in the Xue family. If I had known, would your grandmother have let you suffer like this?"

"grandmother!"

Xue Lingyi also cried out emotionally.

The old lady of Anqing Marquis paused, then excitedly pulled Xue Lingyi into her arms again.

At this moment, Xue Zhihai, the prisoner and Earl of Chengen, was also brought out. He looked at the scene before him with a shocked expression.

"Unexpectedly, Lingyi isn't our biological daughter. She's the granddaughter of the Marquis of Anqing. We switched babies in the chaos at the dilapidated temple years ago..."

Madam Xue murmured an explanation to her husband.

Xue Zhihai looked at the old lady of Anqing Marquis with great surprise.

The old lady of the Marquis of Anqing looked at them and said, "Since things have come to this, of course I have to take my granddaughter with me. She cannot go to exile with you. She is the daughter of my Marquis of Anqing."

Xue Zhihai's face was blank.

Madam Xue's expression was complicated as she looked at Xue Lingyi with longing.

Just then, a girl's voice rang out from the crowd: "May I ask, Madam Anqing, how did you discover that the children had been switched?"

The person asking the question was Ying Yufu.

She mingled with the Crown Prince in the crowd. After shouting, the old lady of Anqing Marquis wanted to find the person who had spoken, but there were too many people and she couldn't find them.

She simply stared in the direction of the person asking the question and said, "A few days ago, I took my granddaughter to Baiyu Temple to burn incense. On the way back, my granddaughter was injured and was bleeding profusely."

My daughter-in-law, out of love for her daughter, immediately tried to cut her wrists to feed her blood.

Unexpectedly, when their blood accidentally dripped into the same bowl, it did not mix.

It is common knowledge that if children are not related to their parents by blood, they are considered not to be biological children.

Xue Zhihai and Madam Xue both looked silently at the old lady of the Marquis of Anqing.

Just then, another voice rang out from the crowd, this time from a young man.

He asked, "Old Madam of Anqing Marquis, now that you've come to acknowledge your granddaughter, where is your original granddaughter?"

The old lady of the Marquis of Anqing shed tears again.

"My granddaughter was bleeding non-stop and couldn't be cured. She passed away the morning before yesterday."

At this point, the old lady of the Marquis of Anqing burst into tears again.

The onlookers couldn't help but sigh, "My God, is that fake granddaughter's life good or bad?"

"To put it bluntly, she enjoyed the blessings of being the daughter of the Marquis of Anqing for fifteen years; to put it nicely, she died young!"

"In my opinion, a short life is better than exile."

On the contrary, this real granddaughter didn't suffer much in the Chengen Earl's mansion. Just when she was about to be exiled, her own grandmother found her.

"Yes, this person is truly blessed!"

As Xue Lingyi listened to the murmurs of the crowd, her eyes gleamed with a hint of smugness.

Yes, she's just that lucky!

She thought she was going to be exiled, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better; she turned out not to be a member of the Xue family.

The old lady of the Marquis of Anqing said to the official in charge of confiscating the Xue family's property, "Xue Lingyi is my own granddaughter from the Marquis of Anqing's mansion, not a daughter of the Xue family. I will personally ask His Majesty for permission to exchange the two children."

The officials who raided the Xue family's property dared not make things difficult for the old lady of the Marquis of Anqing, and only said, "We can only guarantee that Xue Lingyi will not be branded for the time being."

"well!"

The old lady of Anqing Marquis patted Xue Lingyi's shoulder reluctantly, "Good child, don't be afraid, Grandmother will inform His Majesty and come to take you home!"

"Thank you, Grandma!"

Xue Lingyi said with tears in her eyes.

The old lady of Anqing Marquis turned and went into the palace.

In the crowd, Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince exchanged a glance, both of them excited to have stumbled upon such juicy gossip.

"I never would have guessed that Xue Lingyi isn't a member of the Xue family."

In her dream, Xue Lingyi was infatuated with Ying Chengting and eventually became his concubine.

This time, because she foresaw her dream, she changed many things, leading to the current unpredictable situation.

It's just unknown whether Xue Lingyi, now that she's the legitimate granddaughter of the Marquis of Anying, would still be willing to become Ying Chengting's concubine.

It seems she and Cheng Zhier are about to have a showdown.

"This is going to be interesting."

Ying Yufu said.

The Crown Prince nodded, "The Marquis of Anqing's residence will definitely be very lively."

After returning to the Mu residence, Ying Yufu told Shangguan Tang what she had seen at the Xue family's gate that day.

"Who would have thought that Xue Lingyi was switched at birth with the Marquis of Anqing's household?"

Shangguan Tang was also taken aback.

"That Xue Lingyi has always been unruly, Fu'er. She is close to Ying Hengzhi and has never gotten along with you. Now that she has become the daughter of the Marquis of Anqing, you should avoid her from now on."

A hint of sorrow flashed in Shangguan Tang's eyes.

Although it's a good thing to be able to leave the Ying family, once she leaves, her daughter won't have a proper status.

Being the head of the Mu family is enough to attract wolves, not good men.

Ying Yufu smiled and winked. "I'm not afraid of her at all. No matter how noble she is, can she be as noble as the future Crown Princess?"

Shangguan Tang was taken aback.
