How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

After returning from You's house, Jia Wanqing kept talking about the play she had just seen, and kept pulling Jia Wanlin to talk non-stop. Jia Wanlin was very patient and did not mind her noise, and would respond from time to time.

Jia Qingwu seemed a little tired, leaning against the carriage without saying a word. Xia Chu yawned, feeling a little sleepy.

As soon as Sun Zhixia returned home, she went straight to her mother's room, "Mom, mom, Sun Juexia is back! Did you know?"

Qu Pingping was sipping tea when she heard this. Her hand trembled, spilling tea onto the back of her hand, scalding it and causing her to shiver. "You're so startled! How disgraceful!" She gently put down the teacup and rubbed her chest, suppressing her inner panic. She'd spent the past few days trying to convince herself that she'd seen it wrong, but now that her daughter had brought it up again, she couldn't ignore it anymore.

Sun Zhixia dismissed the maid, approached her mother, and whispered, "Mom, I have a good idea."

"What's the idea?" Qu Pingping asked while wiping the tea off the back of her hand.

"Let's ask Dad to bring Sun Juexia back. After all, she is the blood of the Sun family. Jia Qingwu, a woman, is not qualified to take care of a child. By then, given how much she loves her daughter, she will definitely not ignore her. Maybe she will continue to provide for our family's expenses." The more Sun Zhixia talked, the better she thought of this idea. Her expression was high. "As long as Sun Juexia is with us, will she watch her daughter suffer? Maybe she will beg Dad to let her come back, but Dad hates her so much now. He will definitely not agree. Even if she comes back, she can only be a person without a name. At that time, won't she be at the mercy of Mother?"

Qu Pingping glanced at her. It was a good idea. But how could the Jia family agree? Besides, Sun Juexia was clearly dead! The person she sent out brought back Sun Juexia's clothes, stained with blood. There was a bloody hole in the chest. How could a child survive such a serious injury? Unless that person had deceived her? But the clothes and the blood were real. What went wrong?

Does Sun Juexia remember what happened at that time?

Qu Pingping frowned, recalling the scene of that day.

Every Lantern Festival, Jia Qingwu would go out with her brothers to see the lanterns, and that year was no exception. Qu Pingping quietly followed behind, but all night long, she found no opportunities. Jia Qingwu kept a close eye on the child, followed by her wet nurse and maids. She had thought there would be no chance that day, but who would have thought that Jia Qingwu put the child down? And Jia Wanlin, tugging at the lanterns overhead, knocked one down, nearly catching it on fire.

Jia Wanlin's frightened cry attracted everyone's attention.

This was a great opportunity. The maid bribed by Qu Pingping took advantage of the chaos to pick up Sun Juexia and hunched over into the crowd, "Xia Xia, let's go over there and play."

Sun Juexia was a little confused and turned around to call her mother, but the maid covered her mouth. She was a little scared, but soon she couldn't even open her eyes, and her small body went limp and fell on the maid's shoulder.

Qu Pingping was nearby at the time, her heart almost in her throat, staring intently at everyone from the Jia and Sun families. Everyone had gone to see Jia Wanlin, and there were so many people, and Sun Juexia was so short that no one noticed someone carrying her away.

Originally, she wanted to send Sun Juexia away, to a village in the mountains, and sell her to anyone. But her brother said that no poor family would buy a little girl, and they simply wouldn't buy a child. After all, their own family couldn't afford to raise one, so he advised her to just kill the child.

After all, Qu Pingping had a daughter of her own, so she felt a little sorry. But then she looked at Sun Juexia's attire, the gold locket and the gold peanuts on her ankles. Her clothes were a brocade she'd never considered, and even the red string tying her braids was strung with priceless coral beads. Then she looked at her own daughter, who wouldn't dare tell anyone who her parents were.

As the two were discussing, little Sun Juexia woke up. Seeing that they were in an unfamiliar place and with unfamiliar people, she immediately started crying, "Wow... Who are you, mother, mother..."

Qu Wuming took a look and took out a packet of knockout drug and fed it to her.

"Why are you feeding him so much? What if he becomes stupid?" Qu Pingping started to panic.

"It would be better if she died." Qu Wuming sneered, "Don't be so nagging, think about your daughter."

Qu Pingping looked at Sun Juexia who collapsed again and closed her eyes.

...........

"Mother?" Sun Zhixia shook her palm. "Mother?"

"Ah?" Qu Pingping's heart was pounding. Sun Juexia was so young, she probably didn't remember. Of course, if she remembered, the Jia family would have come to her long ago. But what if she remembered it when she saw her again? No, she couldn't let her come back! "This is a bad idea, go back first."

"Why is it not good?" Sun Juexia didn't understand. Now she couldn't even afford a handkerchief! She didn't want to live like this. Since Jia Qingwu left, she had never bought clothes or jewelry! She could only wear her old clothes! The marriage she had finally found was also broken off, and now she was being humiliated by Tian Ruier! When Jia Qingwu was still alive, she had never suffered such grievances! Sometimes she even secretly thought, if only she were Jia Qingwu's daughter. "Mom! Don't you want to live the good life you had before?"

Qu Pingping was upset. "Alright, I said it's not okay! Go back to your room!"

Sun Juexia was a little annoyed, "What's wrong with it?"

"Go back to the room!" Qu Pingping didn't dare to gamble. She went to look for her brother. But her brother was not at home. She wanted to ask whether the two people she was looking for were in Huizhou. Why didn't they die! And they ran back! They obviously took so much money! But the job was not done! Could it be that this Sun Juexia was fake? Qu Pingping recalled that day and only remembered that he looked very similar to Jia Qingwu. But in shock, she didn't even look closely. She took her daughter's hand, "Did you meet Sun Juexia today?"

"Yes, she looks a lot like Jia Qingwu." Sun Juexia wanted to ask why it wasn't okay, "Mom, what's wrong with it? Can't we just talk it over?"

"Just looks alike? What about age? Do they match?" Qu Pingping asked.

"She's about the same age as me, and you can't tell." Sun Zhixia came to her senses, "Mom, are you saying that Sun Juexia is fake?"

"Do you know where she has been all these years?" Qu Pingping ignored her question and continued to ask what she wanted to know.

"I think I've heard of it," Sun Zhixia said, perking up. "Mom, why do you think it's fake?"

"Answer my question first. Where did she go?" Qu Pingping was in a bad mood and spoke in a harsh tone.

Sun Zhixia didn't know why her mother was so angry. She bit her lip and recalled, "In Lin'an, it was said that he was a beggar for a while, and then was adopted by a family surnamed Wang. Now he's called Wang Xiachu. Jia Wanlin went to visit his aunt in Lin'an, saw him, and sent a message back. After that, Jia Sansi went to Lin'an and confirmed that it was Sun Juexia as soon as they met."

"How did you confirm it? Was it just based on appearance?" Qu Pingping still had a glimmer of hope. Maybe it was just a resemblance? There were so many people in the world, it wasn't uncommon for them to look alike. Besides, they were kidnapped in Huizhou. How could they have ended up in Lin'an? They had clearly just said they would take him to the mass grave outside the city and kill him. How could they have ended up in Lin'an? Maybe it was fake. "Are there any other birthmarks or something?"

"How should I know this..." Sun Zhixia was a little surprised. "Mother, do you suspect that Sun Juexia is fake? Is he also an imposter?"

Qu Pingping didn't answer her question, but her heart calmed down a bit. "You go back first. We need to think about this matter in detail. I'll think about it."
