Reborn ten times, she is the real daughter of the Marquis Mansion and she doesn't pretend anymo

"Young Master, the Duke invites you." The guard saluted and said respectfully.

Yun Tang asked in surprise: "Duke Ping?"

She had slept for three days and her mind was still a little fuzzy. Only then did she realize that it was Duke Ping who was guarding the western border.

Her father also told her that he and the Duke of Ping were childhood friends, which was why he arranged a marriage between his daughter and the Duke of Ping's son. At that time, he did not know that Jiang Yingxue was not his biological daughter.

Therefore, when what happened later did happen, the marriage was very awkward.

Because Marquis Yong'an arranged a marriage for his legitimate daughter and the prince of Duke Heping, but Jiang Yingxue was not Marquis Yong'an's legitimate daughter.

If this marriage is to be blamed on Yuntang, it would be unreasonable, because this child marriage was not an arranged marriage, but a marriage contract between Jiang Yingxue and Prince Qin.

Regardless of fairness, if there is a mistake in identity, a new outcome should be renegotiated.

It is not wrong for Princess Kangning and the wife of the Duke of Ping to reach a consensus.

But what is wrong is that Princess Kangning intends to marry the fake daughter to the Eastern Palace and use her own daughter as a substitute pawn to fulfill the original marriage contract. Her purpose is impure and her intentions are not right. We can only say that she has a beautiful daydream.

The wife of Duke Pingguo, on the other hand, only cares about status and not people.

Jiang Yingxue, who he had watched grow up, rejected him as soon as she heard that she was not a real daughter. She was attracted by the real daughter's strength and identity, and she was full of calculations. In the end, she lost all her face. She deserved it.

In a situation where it was difficult to have the best of both worlds, Marquis Yong'an cut the Gordian knot and directly cancelled the engagement, but this put the Duke Ping's Mansion in an embarrassing position and made him a laughing stock.

Later, regardless of whether the wife of Duke Pingguo sent a letter to the western border or whether General Xu's mansion informed Duke Pingguo of the matter, Marquis Yong'an would definitely write a letter to inform him of the process and results.

Now that Yuntang has arrived at the Western Border military camp, it is inevitable that Duke Pingguo wants to see him.

After Yuntang figured it out, he followed the guards toward a large tent in the camp.

As soon as I approached, I saw a mighty middle-aged general walking out of the big tent. It was Qin Yan, Duke Pingguo.

Yuntang had never seen Duke Ping in person in his previous life, but the father and son looked somewhat alike, and Yuntang was also good at face reading, so he naturally recognized who the man was at a glance.

When Duke Ping saw the frail and slender little girl wrapped in a cloak, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. It was such a frail little... Taoist priest who cured his son's serious injury?

"I'm Yun Xuantang, nice to meet Duke Ping." Yuntang stepped forward, bowed, and spoke politely.

Duke Ping suddenly came to his senses and quickly clasped his fists and bowed: "My young master is too polite. You are the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an. You can call me Uncle Qin."

Yun Tang smiled slightly, thinking that this man was quite interesting. On one hand, he called her "Little Taoist Master", and on the other hand, he tried to establish a relationship with Yong'an Marquis.

She is already a little Taoist priest. If she really calls him Uncle Qin, what should he call the emperor?

Yuntang ignored the words of establishing a relationship, which surprised Duke Ping again. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and he began to understand what she meant.

"Young Taoist priest, please come in." Duke Ping stopped chatting about family matters and gestured for invitation, with a more serious attitude.

Yuntang walked into the big tent and realized after seeing the layout inside that this was the commander's tent, where the commander and deputy commanders would discuss military affairs and combat operations on weekdays.

She didn't look at the sand table where the troops were deployed and the map hanging next to it, but went to sit at the square table on the other side which was used for rest and meals.

Seeing her unrestrained yet cautious attitude, Duke Ping secretly praised her.

But in an instant, she changed her mind and thought, should she praise her for being worthy of being the daughter of Marquis Yong'an, or should she praise her for being worthy of being the disciple of Taoist Master Qingfeng Guanyun?

"Some time ago, I received a letter from Yong'an Hou along with the military documents. I learned about some things in the capital, that you cured Mingyu's serious injury, and also learned your identity."

"Mingyu's mother acted unkindly and caused you trouble. We both suffered loss of face and you were wronged. I apologize to you here. I hope you won't bother with that foolish woman."

Duke Ping looked at the little girl sitting there peacefully with a calm expression, and he did not dare to neglect her. He explained the whole story, apologized solemnly for what his wife had done, and bowed deeply to Yuntang.

Yun Tang looked up at the humble and daring middle-aged general in front of him, and quickly raised his hand. A force supported the hand of Duke Ping, forcing him to stand up straight.

"Duke Ping, there is no need to do this. Since my father has written to me about this matter, I believe you are clear about the cause and effect. It is not just your wife who is wrong, but also Princess Kangning. She was the one who led all this, and the others were just implicated."

"Well, your father and I have been friends since we were young, and we have been friends for decades. He did not hide these things, but he lamented that Mingyu and you are not destined to be together..."

He did not give up and asked Yuntang in person whether he wanted to renegotiate the engagement.

In the letter, Marquis Yong'an had told him the result of his previous questions, which was used to explain why the two families could not re-establish the marriage.

Originally, if those things were not made public, the Duke of Pingguo could have considered his friendship with the Marquis of Yong'an. Although Jiang Yingxue was not his biological daughter, she was raised as his own by the Marquis's family, so the marriage still counted.

The real daughter is back, and the Marquis's Mansion did not reveal the fake daughter's identity but announced that they were twin girls, which means that it would not affect Jiang Yingxue's identity, but...

Jiang Yingxue wanted to give Yuntang, who had just returned, a warning, but Yuntang didn't tolerate her and started to make a fuss. The matter of the real and fake daughter could no longer be concealed.

Even so, as long as Marquis Yong'an does not admit that she is a fake daughter, Jiang Yingxue is still real and is the second daughter of the Marquis's mansion.

But Princess Kangning thought that Qin Mingyu, who was paralyzed in bed, was not a good match for her, and wanted to send Jiang Yingxue to the Eastern Palace.

Since it was inconvenient to cancel the engagement with Qin Mingyu directly, she came up with the good idea of ​​using Yuntang to marry instead.

In order to make the wife of Duke Ping agree to let Yuntang fulfill the marriage contract, he did not hesitate to tell the truth about the real and fake daughter.

Later, the wife of Duke Pingguo made a fuss about it, and the truth that Jiang Yingxue was a fake daughter could no longer be concealed. Even if the Marquis's Mansion did not admit it, it spread throughout the capital.

Of course, Marquis Yong'an didn't have the face to explain Princess Kangning's good plan.

It was just a euphemism to explain that Princess Kangning had made her own decision to exchange the bride, and the wife of Duke Pingguo also agreed to the exchange of brides in order to save 300,000 taels of silver on medical expenses.

But Yuntang's marriage was arranged by his master and the emperor, and he, as his father, had no say in it.

Marquis Yong'an told Duke Pingguo that his daughter was the emperor's junior fellow apprentice, had been named the Princess Protector of the Nation, and was at the level of a Heavenly Master in Taoism, and was not some boudoir girl raised in his mansion.

Duke Ping then combined some news from the capital city brought by the Xu family.

It is not difficult to understand that Princess Kangning disliked her son's paralysis for more than a year and wanted to cancel the engagement. She also disliked her own daughter who had just returned home, so she thought of the best of both worlds method of replacing the daughter.

This is also the reason why Duke Ping no longer mentioned his old engagement with Jiang Yingxue after learning that his son's injury had healed.

Now that the engagement has been broken off, he no longer cares about the fake daughter.

But the real daughter in front of him... He felt a little pity and felt sorry for his son.
