Only this green, not disappointing the spring

The news that Shangguan Yunxin's face was wrapped in a white cloth with bloodstains on it spread quickly in the capital. People all like gossip, and somehow the news got more and more distorted, and in the end it even changed its meaning.

Before Shangguan Qingyue even entered the family, her reputation as a tyrant and narrow-minded person was already known to everyone. Shangguan Yunxin was also portrayed as a poor and helpless adopted daughter, who received no care or sympathy even though her appearance was destroyed.

What a pity for such a good girl. Her marriage with the Yang family will definitely fail! Maybe the Shangguan family planned it in advance, and they wanted to let the legitimate daughter marry instead of the adopted daughter!

Shangguan Qingyue did not deliberately hide her appearance, and was often seen on the way back home. People found that this adopted daughter had an ordinary appearance, which was very different from the appearance of the two sons of the Shangguan family.

After the servants passed the news back to each household, many families began to laugh at Baili Nanqing, saying that she must have missed her daughter so much that she just randomly found a fake one from outside to fill the role instead of finding a decent one.

The funniest thing is that the entire Shangguan family is acting along with her, how ridiculous!

Baili Nanqing didn't see her uncle's family, and she felt dissatisfied. She rolled her eyes at her husband and asked:

"Does your good brother not even want to act anymore? My Yue Er came home for the first time and no one came to pick her up. Humph!"

Shangguan Chong was also somewhat helpless. His parents had always favored his second brother, which led to him still doing things as he pleased even though he was already over thirty years old. They didn't have much respect or love for him as the eldest brother.

I can only comfort myself:

"My second brother is busy with official duties, and my sister-in-law has to take care of the young son. If they don't want to come, then don't come. As their sister-in-law, don't bother with them."

"Hmph, I'm going to make it clear. If any of them dare to upset my Yue'er, don't blame me for being ruthless. Anyway, the house in Xiangxue Village has been built. If we don't feel comfortable living in the capital, we can go back!"

"Mom, there's me too. You can't just take care of your daughter and ignore your son! I've always been on your side."

Shangguan Lan laughed to ease the atmosphere, allowing Shangguan Chong to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Because of his injury, Shangguan Yunxin went back to his own house to rest, while Shangguan Qingyue went to the yard of Mr. Shangguan and the old lady.

Little Stone was taken to Shangguan Lan's yard to rest. In order not to attract attention, he wore a green Confucian scarf on his head. He looked like a miniature scholar, very cute and funny.

Mrs. Lu came to her parents-in-law's place early in the morning, carrying her child and bringing her little daughter. When she saw a group of people from afar, she hurried out to greet them.

"Is it our Qingyue who is back? Feng'er has been crying and making a fuss, so I couldn't go pick her up in person. I've been blaming myself."

As she spoke, she stared closely at the little girl who was surrounded by the crowd like a star. She was wearing a simple and elegant light blue dress, with no conspicuous accessories from head to toe.

She immediately felt disdainful. Could the daughter her eldest sister-in-law found be a fake? Otherwise, why wouldn't she be willing to dress her up properly?

"If you don't want to go, just say so. There's no need to use the child as a target. He's four years old and he understands everything."

This sister-in-law was born in Jiangnan, and her heart was full of tricks, Baili Nanqing couldn't stand her hypocrisy. In addition, she was holding back her anger, so she didn't show any emotion in her words.

Mrs. Lu had long been accustomed to her sister-in-law's sarcastic temper, and was not annoyed at all. She just turned around and looked at Old Madam Shangguan with grievance.

"Mother, please speak up for your daughter-in-law. It's only natural for my sister-in-law to be angry with me. I'm afraid she'll get sick from being angry, and then I'll be deeply sinful!"

The old lady favored her youngest son, and she loved her daughter-in-law even more. She pulled Lu to sit beside her, holding a little girl in her arms, and looked at Baili Nanqing and complained:

"Old man, you are such a fool. It should be a happy thing that our daughter is finally found. Why are you so angry?

It's Yue'er, come closer, let grandma take a good look at you. You've been living outside these years, you must have suffered a lot, right? I'm sorry for wronging you."

The old lady spoke caring words, but her tone was always indifferent, without much excitement of seeing her granddaughter for the first time. Shangguan Qingyue knew at a glance that her grandparents did not like her very much.

After respectfully paying respect to several people, he said neither servile nor overbearing:

"Yuer has met grandpa, grandma and little aunt. I grew up in the countryside these years and I know nothing about the rules of the capital, so please bear with me."

Old Master Shangguan stared at his newly recognized granddaughter for a while before speaking:

"Well, at first he looked ordinary, not like a child of our Shangguan family. But after a closer look, I found that he looks about 60% like your father.

It's good to have you back. Your parents have searched all over our country to find you. From now on, our family can finally live a peaceful life."

Baili Nanqing was unhappy when she heard this. What kind of words were these? !

"Why do I hear my father-in-law complaining all the time? Our Yue'er was killed by a thief. She was only one year old when she was lost. How could she have done anything wrong?

As her father and mother, isn't it natural for us to look for our own child? I feel guilty about Yue'er and just want to make amends."

Suddenly, a slightly childish girl's voice came out from the side:

"Aunt, are you sure this ordinary-looking country girl is Qingyue's cousin? Do you have any solid evidence? Don't wait until we all recognize each other as relatives, only to find out it's a mistake in the end."

A little girl dressed exquisitely like a fairy looked at Baili Nanqing with an innocent face, without any fear at all.

Before Shangguan Qingyue came, she had already gotten a general understanding of the family members. Seeing that the other person was about ten years old, she should be Shangguan Qingwan, the eldest daughter of her second uncle.

At such a young age, he is so sharp-tongued and aggressive. I wonder how much my simple-minded mother has suffered at the hands of my second uncle's family over the years.

Shangguan Chong had originally intended to start a debate with Old Master Shangguan, but after being interrupted by his niece, he could not continue. Shangguan Song and Shangguan Lan also had no place to put their energy. As guests, the Baili brothers could only sulk.

Before Baili Nanqing could get angry, Shangguan Qingyue chuckled and said:

"Sister Qingwan, right? What a nice name. But as the saying goes, a kind word can warm you through the winter, but an evil word can hurt you through the summer. What you just said really made me feel like I was falling into an icy cave.

My father, mother, two brothers and elder sister worked so hard to find me, but you denied everything with just one sentence. So, what evidence do you need to convince you?"

"Qingyue, don't argue with Qingwan, she is just an ignorant child, she is talking nonsense.

Wan'er, apologize to your cousin quickly!"

Shangguan Qingyue picked up the water cup on the coffee table beside him, took a sip, then put it down with a frown, and replied nonchalantly:

"Child? If I remember correctly, my cousin is only two years younger than me, right? Then I must be a child in your eyes. If I said something inappropriate, I hope you won't be angry.

I see that my cousin and you, aunt, don't look a bit alike. Could it be that you have mistaken your daughter all these years? Don't tell me that some blind servant has replaced her with someone else!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Lu immediately put away all her gentleness and softness, and scolded in a sharp voice:

"Nonsense! I am Wan'er's biological mother, how could I not know whether she is my biological daughter or not?! Qingyue, you grew up in the countryside and don't know the rules and etiquette. Originally, your aunt shouldn't blame you, but you can't just make up rumors, right?"

"Then I am Yue'er's biological mother, how could I not know whether she is my biological daughter or not? ! !

"Brother-in-law, are you saying that the governor is allowed to set fires but the people are not allowed to light lamps? You are really overbearing!"
